For the evaluation in the safety of outdoor insulator, there are various methods such as: visual observation; voltage measurement; use of ultrasonic wave due to partial discharge; electric field measurement; use of infrared/ultraviolet sensor-type camera. However, many problems have been issued regrading the reliability of the evaluation test and safety of testing operation. Accordingly, the present study has investigated and analyzed the characteristics and mechanisms of the insulator deterioration, in order to obtain an optimal method for detecting poor insulator so that the reliability of power facilities can be enhanced. Besides, based on theoretical analysis of domestic and international detection methods for poor insulator, the reliability has been compared and evaluated quantitatively. As a result, it was shown that the corona camera would be the best choice for domestic workplace application in detecting poor insulator for enhancing the reliability of power transmission line.

$Cs_3Sb$ photocathode was formed by newly developed process and successive in-situ lighting devices were fabricated in a process chamber. R, G, and B phosphors were applied on the anode plate, respectively. Major parameters such as brightness, power consumption, and efficacy were measured. The wavelength of LED excitation source was 450 nm. Both high power and low power modes were applied in the measurement. Measurement values were clearly differentiated by the voltage application modes. The measured values of each parameter was good enough to be applied for general lighting source. The results showed that $Cs_3Sb$ photocathode formed in atmospheric conditions was functioning as good as the photocathode formed in UHV conditions, and thus it could be applied to advanced lighting devices.

For nuclear power plants (NPPs) to have long lifetimes, ageing is a major issue. Currently, ageing management for NPP systems is based on correlations built from generic experimental data. However, each system has its own characteristics, operational history, and environment. To account for this, it is possible to resort to prognostics that predicts the future state and time to failure (TTF) of the target system by updating the generic correlation with specific information of the target system. In this paper, we present an application of particle filtering for the prediction of degradation in steam generator tubes. With a case study, we also show how the prediction results vary depending on the uncertainty of the measurement data.

This paper shows the results of emissive electromagnetic field characteristics on medium voltage power line(22.9 kV). The measurements were taken when communications signals were coupled into the 22.9 kV main wire of medium voltage power-line in a frequency range of 9 kHz to 30 MHz. The results of the measurement are as follows-emissive electromagnetic Held characteristics from multi carrier signals were superior to a single carrier signal. And we confirmed the PLC transmission distance was 1.8 km when multi-carrier transmission power was 20 dBm. Electric field strength was under the 40 dBuV/m at 30 MHz when 10 m method was measured.

This paper presents a novel method to determine sound power level(PWL) emitted by a travelling vehicle for road traffic noise simulation. The PWL is evaluated by the equivalent sound pressure level (SPL) measured by close proximity method and the sound power correction factor derived from the maximum SPL measured by pass-by method and the propagation attenuation of vehicle noise during the pass-by measurement. Using the method, we derive the empirical formula for PWL estimation in 1/1-octave and overall frequency bands for 8 vehicles (automobile, SUV, small truck, large bus, trailer, 3 dump trucks) tested at two road surfaces (dense graded asphalt, 30mm transverse tinning concrete) of Korean highway test road. The suggested approach, if securing sufficient data to represent the acoustic characteristics of all vehicle types, has il strong merit to be able to evaluate sound power levels for any combination of vehicle categories and traffic volumes.

Saemankeum is well known for its high speed wind, and it is known that the blueprint of a future city around Saemankeum, including new industrial complex, has been planned. As a result, large-scale offshore wind farm, on the basis of the measurement of wind resource for a long time, can be considered, so that generated electricity can be used to meet the energy demand near the wind farm. Wind speed in Kokunsando of Saemankeum is measured and analyzed with its statistical distribution and wind directions. The probability of wind power resource over Kokunsando of Saemangeum is reviewed with the measured data in one island of Kokunsando. According to measured data, the shape and scale factor of Weibull distribution of wind speed are obtained, and then power density is analyzed as well. Through this study, it is clear that the Saemangeum area has a fluent and abundant wind power source to develop the wind farm in Korea.

In this paper, we deposited MgO buffer layer on p-type (100)Si substrate in the condition of substrate temperature 400$^{\circ}C$, working gas ratio Ar:O$_2$=80:20, RF Power 50W, working pressure 10mtorr, and the thickness of the film was about 300${\AA}$. Then we deposited Ba$\sub$0.5/Sr$\sub$0.5/TiO$_3$ thin film using RF Magnetron sputtering method on the MgO/Si substrate in various RF power of 25W, 50W, 75W. The film deposited in 50W showed the best crystalline from the XRD measurement. To know the electrical properties of the film, we manufactured Al/BSTMgO(300${\AA}$)/Si/Al structure capacitor. In the result of I-V measurement, The leakage current density of the capacitor was lower than 10$\^$-7/A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at the range of ${\pm}$150kV/cm. From C-V characteristics of the capacitor, can calculate the dielectric constant and it was 305. Finally we deposited BST thin film on bare Si substrate and (100)MgO substrate in the same deposition condition. From the comparate of the properties of these samples, we found the properties of BST thin film which deposited on MgO/Si substrate were better than on bare Si substrate and similar to on MgO substrate.

We studied about the damaged tire decision algorithm that measured dominant period of ultrasonic signal due to a foreign material on the friction between tire and road surface. We computed the power spectrum about the envelope of ultrasonic signal acquired from the damaged tire, then proposed the dominant period decision algorithm by statistical power threshold value. As the result of simulation, when driving by the speed of 80km/h, the 100ms of dominant period that measured in the proposed algorithm is more accurate than the 97.6ms of power spectrum peak period referenced on the average period of ultrasonic signal envelope peak, 101.24ms.

This paper presents an analysis on the induction heating of ring flange for wind farm. Ring flange is used for the connection of poles when building a column of wind power plant. Heat treatment of ring flange with the diameter of ${\O}1,000mm$ has been considered. For analysis on the induction heating, FEA is used. Firstly, electromagnetic filed analysis was performed to get the induction current distribution on the steel, After that, heat transfer analysis was performed using the magnetic filed analysis results. for more precise analysis, some measurement for permeability has been performed and the measurement data was used during the analysis. From the analysis, we get the temperature distribution on the ring flange.
