Partial discharges (PD) have long been recognized as a major contributing factor to catastrophic failures in high-power equipment. As the demand for high voltage direct current (HVDC) facilities continues to rise, the significance of on-line and real-time monitoring of PD becomes increasingly prominent. In this study, we have designed, fabricated, and characterized a highly sensitive and cost-effective PD sensor comprising a pair of copper electrodes with different arc lengths. The key advantage of our sensor is its non-invasive nature, as it can be installed at any location along the entire power cable without requiring structural modifications. In contrast, conventional PD sensors are typically limited to installation at cable terminals or insulation joint boxes, often necessitating invasive alterations. Our PD sensor demonstrates exceptional accuracy in estimating PD location, with a success rate exceeding 95% in the straight sections of the power cable and surpassing 89% in curved sections. These remarkable characteristics indicate its high potential for realtime and on-line detection of PD.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 가장 큰 문제 중의 한 가지는 네트워크를 구성함에 있어 에너지 소모를 최소화하는데 있다. 센서 네트워크에서 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하기 위해서 주로 다음과 같은 두 종류의 방식을 사용한다. 한 가지는 동적 전력 관리를 사용하는 것이며, 다른 한 가지는 에너지 효율적인 프로토콜을 사용하는 것이다. 전자의 경우 전원 관리자는 해당하는 이벤트들에 대해서 CPU와 해당 I/O들의 적절한 전원 상태를 관리할 책임이 있다. 하지만, 주어진 프로토콜의 내부 동작에 대해서는 관여하지 못한다. 그것은 충돌 등으로 인한 통신 상태에서의 지연에 의한 불필요한 에너지를 낭비할 가능성이 크다. 반면에 에너지 효율적인 프로토콜들은 단지 무선 모뎀의 전원 상태만을 고려한다. 본 논문에서 우리는 통신 이벤트 기반의 전력 관리를 통한 무선 센서 노드들의 불필요한 전력 소비를 충분히 줄일 수 있는 에너지 효율적인 전력 관리 방안을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 전력 관리 방식이 상당한 에너지를 절약 할 수 있음을 보인다.

한정된 배터리 전원을 사용하는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 노드의 수명유지를 위해 전력 소모량은 매우 중요한 문제이다. 전력소모를 줄이기 위해 저전력 RF 통신을 사용함으로써 무선 센서 네트워크의 에러 발생률이 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크의 오류 정정 부호 사용과 그에 따른 전력 소모량을 분석하였다. 오류 정정 부호는 변 복조 과정에서 소모되는 저려 소모가 있지만, 부호화 이득을 통해 전송 에너지를 절약할 수 있다. 센서 노드의 특성상 전송 에너지는 프로세서의 계사에 소모되는 에너지보다 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 낮은 전송 전력으로 전송한 데이터를 짧은 구속장의 Viterbi 알고리즘을 적용하여 오류 정정을 할 경우 단순한 ARQ(Auto Repeat Request) 방식을 사용할 경우보다 최대 20%의 재전송 횟수의 감소와 18%의 전력 소모의 감소를 분석하였다.

This paper presents a study on the Internet of Things based low-power wireless sensor networks for remote monitoring of wildlife ecosystem due to climate change. Especially, it is targeting the wild vegetation communities ecological monitoring. First, we performed a pre-test and analysis for selecting the appropriate frequency for the sensor network to collect and deliver information reliably in harsh propagation environment of the forest area, and selected for sensors for monitoring wild vegetation communities on the basis of considerations for selecting the best sensor. In addition, we have presented the platform concept and hierarchical function structures for effectively monitoring, analyzing and predicting of ecosystem changes, to apply the Internet of Things in the ecological monitoring area. Based on this, this paper presents the system architecture and design of the Internet of Things based low-power wireless sensor networks for monitoring the ecosystem of the wild vegetation communities. Finally, we constructed and operated the test-bed applied to real wild trees, using the developed prototype based on the design.

In this paper, we propose a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) binary image sensor with a gate/body-tied (GBT) p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (PMOSFET)-type photodetector using a double-tail comparator for high-speed and low-power operations. The GBT photodetector is based on a PMOSFET tied with a floating gate (n+ polysilicon) and a body that amplifies the photocurrent generated by incident light. A double-tail comparator compares an input signal with a reference voltage and returns the output signal as either 0 or 1. The signal processing speed and power consumption of a double-tail comparator are superior over those of conventional comparator. Further, the use of a double-sampling circuit reduces the standard deviation of the output voltages. Therefore, the proposed CMOS binary image sensor using a double-tail comparator might have advantages, such as low power consumption and high signal processing speed. The proposed CMOS binary image sensor is designed and simulated using the standard 0.18 ㎛ CMOS process.

A CMOS-based temperature sensor is proposed for low-voltage and low-power on-chip thermal monitoring applications. The proposed temperature sensor converts a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current to a PTAT frequency using an integrator and hysteresis comparator. In addition, it operates in the subthreshold region, allowing reduced power consumption. The proposed temperature sensor was fabricated in a standard 90 nm CMOS technology. Measurement results of the proposed temperature sensor show a temperature error of between -0.81 and $+0.94^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range of 0 to $70^{\circ}C$ after one-point calibration at $30^{\circ}C$, with a temperature coefficient of $218Hz/^{\circ}C$. Moreover, the measured energy of the proposed temperature sensor is 36 pJ per conversion, the lowest compared to prior works.

The sun is a useful reference direction because of its brightness relative to other astronomical objects and its relatively small apparent radius as viewed by spacecrafts near the Earth. Most satellites use solar power as a source of energy, and so need to make sure that solar panels are oriented correctly with respect to the sun. Also, some satellites have sensitive instruments that must not be exposed to direct sunlight. For all these reasons, sun sensors are important components in spacecraft attitude determination and control systems. To minimize components and structural mass, some components have multiple purposes. The solar cells will provide power and also be used as coarse sun sensors. A coarse Sun sensor is a low-cost attitude determination sensor suitable for a wide range of space missions. The sensor measures the sun angle in two orthogonal axes. The Sun sensor measures the sun angle in both azimuth and elevation. This paper presents the development of a model to determine the attitude of a small cube-shaped satellite in space relative to the sun's direction. This sensor helps small cube-shaped Pico satellites to perform accurate attitude determination without requiring additional hardware.

From the Beckmann's reflection model of wave incident, reflected light from a surface is known to have not only specular but also diffuse components. The specular component dominant a surface for a mirror-like surface is distributed on the almost the same area as the spot on the surface, but the diffuse component region dominant f3r a rough surface spreads scattered on the larger areas than the spot. Therefore, statistic parameters from the scattered light distribution are more meaningful in the diffuse region, while the magnitude of rather meaning in the specular region. In usual, there need two sensors to acquire two kinds of information: Photo-detector for light intensity magnitude and image sensor for light intensity distribution. But dual sensor scheme requires a beam splitter usually to feed light to each sensor, and moreover there is not a combination rule to relieve the different sensor characteristics. In this study a new method is proposed for acquisition of the dual information using only an image sensor. Specular region is established on an image area being distinguished from a diffuse component, and laser power is adjusted so that no pixel of the image sensor in the specular region is saturated. Simulation based on the light reflection theory and the experimental results are quite well matched, and thus the proposed method was proved to be very useful for mirror-like surface measurement.
