실시간 시뮬레이션 및 HILS(Hardware In the Loop Simulation)는 항공기 설계 및 개발에 있어서 개발기간의 단축과 비용절감 측면에서 필수적이며 컴퓨팅 기술의 발달로 그 중요성이 더욱 부각되고 있다. 복잡한 운동모델과 실시간 시뮬레이션에 대한 요구사항을 충족시키기 위하여 분산처리에 의한 시뮬레이션이 요구되며 실시간 컴퓨터 환경 내에서 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어를 개발해야 하므로 개발 및 디버그, 유지보수가 매우 어렵다. 특히 실시간, 무 교착상태의 고성능 분산코드를 작성하는 경우는 더욱 그러하다. 본 연구에서 구축하는 회전익기 HILS 환경은 이러한 어려움을 상당부분 처리함으로써 사용자가 직접 코드를 손대지 않고 HILS 및 시뮬레이션을 수행할 수 있도록 상용화된 부품과 개발된 최신 툴을 이용하여 구성하였다. Matlab/Simulink 환경에서 개발된 회전익기 비행시뮬레이션 소프트웨어를 기준으로 하여 HILS 환경 및 MILS(Man In the Loop) 환경이 추가되어 조종사의 직접 입력에 대한 반응을 실제 하드웨어에 피드백 하는 MILS-HILS 통합 환경을 구축하였다. 개발기간의 단축 및 유지보수의 편의를 위하여 RT-Lab을 사용하여 실시간 코드를 생성하고 타켓컴퓨터에 다운로드 하는 방식으로 실시간 시뮬레이션이 가능하다.

A distributed hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) platform is developed for designing an automotive engine control system. The HILS equipment consists of a widely used PC and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) I/O boards instead of a powerful computing system and custom-made I/O boards. The distributed structure of the HILS system supplements the lack of computing power. These features make the HILS equipment more cost-effective and flexible. The HILS uses an automatic code generation extension, REAL-TIME WORKSHOP$^{ (RTW$^{) of MATLAB$^{ tool-chain and RT-LAB$^{, which enables distributed simulation as well as the detection and generation of digital event between simulation time steps. The mean value engine model, which is used in control design phase, is imported into this HILS. The engine model is supplemented with some I/O subsystems and I/O boards to interface actual input and output signals in real-time. The I/O subsystems are designed to imitate real sensor signals with high fidelity as well as to convert the raw data of the I/O boards to the appropriate forms for proper interfaces. A lot of attention is paid to the generation of a precise crank/ earn signal which has the problem of quantization in a conventional fixed time step simulation. The detection of injection! command signal which occurs between simulation time steps are also successfully compensated. In order to prove the feasibility of the proposed environment, a simple PI controller for an air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) control is used. The proposed HILS environment and I/O systems are shown to be an efficient tool to develop various control functions and to validate the software and hardware of the engine control system.

이 논문의 목적은 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어인 OPNET Modeler Wireless Suite를 이용하여 WiFi (IEEE 802.11g)와 WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e)를 가상 무선망으로 모델링 후 종단간 패킷 통계를 시뮬레이션하여 그 특성을 분석한 연구이다. 국내외 무선망에 대한 시뮬레이션이 가능한 툴인 Remcom's Wireless InSite Real Time (RT) 모듈, WinProp: W-LAN, Fixed WiMAX, Mobile WiMAX, SMI 시스템은 무선 전파 신호 세기 분석에 비중을 두었고 이러한 무선 전파 신호 세기로 데이터 전송률을 고려할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 그러나 우리는 이들 시뮬레이션 툴(들)의 특성과 달리 다른 관점으로 본 연구를 접근하였다. 즉, 무선 전파 신호 세기 분석이 아닌 유무선 통합망을 기반으로 한 종단간 가상망 모델링이 가능하고 각 구간(예: 무선사용자, 기지국 또는 AP, HTTP 서버)마다 얼마만큼의 패킷이 전달되었는지를 시각적으로 분석할 수 있는 OPNET Modeler Wireless Suite를 활용한 연구로 접근하였다. 왜냐하면 패킷 통계는 무선서비스 성능 매트릭 중 하나의 지표로 종단간 중요한 QoS 분석 척도가 되기 때문이다. 특히나 WiMAX와 같이 QoS를 보장하는 무선사용자에겐 패킷 통계 지표는 더더욱 필수적인 항목임에 틀림이 없다. OPNET Modeler Wireless Suite로 가상 무선망을 실제에 가깝게 모델링 후 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 우리는 흥미로운 결과를 찾아낼 수 있었고 그 실험/관측결과를 효율적이고 다각적으로 보여줄 수 있었다.

A PMS (Power Management System) controls vessel's power systems to improve the system efficiency and to protect a blackout condition. The PMS should be developed with considering the type and the capacity of the vessel's power system. It is necessary to test the PMS functions developed for vessel's safe operations under various sailing situations. Therefore, the function tests in cooperation with practical power systems are required in the PMS development. In this paper, a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulator is developed for the purposes of the PMS function tests. The HIL simulator can be more cost-effective, more time-saved, easier to reproduce, and safer beyond the normal operating range than conventional off-line simulators, especially at early stages in development processes or during fault tests. Vessel's power system model is developed by using a MATLAB/SIMULINK software and by communicating between an OPAL-RT's OP5600 simulator. The PMS uses a Modbus communication protocol implemented using LabVIEW software. Representative tests of the PMS functions are performed to verify the validity of the proposed HIL-based test platform.

A sea water source cascade heat pump was designed and tested in this study. The system was designed to perform a single stage operation in summer, as well as a cascade operation in winter to ensure the high temperature lift. A steady-state simulation model was developed to analyze and optimize its performance. The simulation results show that the R717 exhibits best performance among combinations considered in this study. A R410A also exhibits the highest performance among HFCs with the smallest compressor displacement. A 15-RT R410A-R134a pilot system was installed in the 5-story commercial building at Samcheok City by the East Sea. A scroll type R410A compressor, a reciprocating type R134a compressor, plate type condenser/evaporator/ cascade heat exchanger and two electronic expansion valves were used to build a pilot. A titanium plate type heat exchanger is also used for the heat exchanging with a sea water. The heat source/sink water is supplied from the well below the seashore in the depth of 5 m. In the initial test of the system, supply water temperature was rising up to $67^{\circ}C$ using a sea water heat source of $9^{\circ}C$, while an ambient temperature was $4.5^{\circ}C$.

Cycle simulation of Ground Source Heat Pump[GSHP] system was carried out to determine the design specification of basic components such as turbo compressor and heat exchangers. Part load operation characteristics of the designed GSHP system was estimated using the compressor and heat exchanger performance data. A 50RT class turbo compressor for GSHP system is now under development, in which R134a refrigerant is adopted as working fluid. The compressor with variable cascade diffusers is designed to work both in cooling and heating modes so that it can actively keep up with the climate change with high efficiency. The normal running speeds of the compressor are 59000rpm for heating mode and 70000rpm for tooling mode respectively. It has two identical impellers at both ends of the rotor so as to minimize aero-induced thrust force effectively. GSHP system was coupled with a vortical type heat exchanger, and heat gain and heat loss from ground were evaluated per a bore hole. For the optimal integration of the heat pump system, its header for circulating fluid was combined with the ground heat exchangers in parallel and series configuration.

Nowadays, a DC microgrid that can link various distributed power sources is gaining much attention. Accordingly, research on fault situations, such as line-to-line and line-to-ground faults of the DC microgrid, has been conducted to improve grid reliability. However, the blackout of an AC system and the oscillation of a DC bus voltage have not been reported or have not been sufficiently verified by previous research. In this study, a 20 kW DC microgrid testbed using a power HIL simulation technique is proposed. This testbed can simulate various fault conditions without any additional grid facilities and dangerous experiments. It includes the blackout of the DC microgrid caused by the AC utility grid's blackout, a drastic load increment, and the DC bus voltage oscillation caused by the LCL filter of the voltage source converter. The effectiveness of the proposed testbed is verified by using Opal-RT's OP5707 real-time simulator with a 3 kW prototype three-port dual-active-bridge converter.

Purpose: To investigate the frequency and clinical significance of detected incidental lung nodules found on computed tomography (CT) simulation images for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) and a physician review. Materials and Methods: Sixty-seven treatment-$na{\ddot{i}}ve$ HCC patients treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and radiotherapy (RT) were included for the study. Portal phase of simulation CT images was used for CAD analysis and a physician review for lung nodule detection. For automated nodule detection, a commercially available CAD system was used. To assess the performance of lung nodule detection for lung metastasis, the sensitivity, negative predictive value (NPV), and positive predictive value (PPV) were calculated. Results: Forty-six patients had incidental nodules detected by CAD with a total of 109 nodules. Only 20 (18.3%) nodules were considered to be significant nodules by a physician review. The number of significant nodules detected by both of CAD or a physician review was 24 in 9 patients. Lung metastases developed in 11 of 46 patients who had any type of nodule. The sensitivities were 58.3% and 100% based on patient number and on the number of nodules, respectively. The NPVs were 91.4% and 100%, respectively. And the PPVs were 77.8% and 91.7%, respectively. Conclusion: Incidental detection of metastatic nodules was not an uncommon event. From our study, CAD could be applied to CT simulation images allowing for an increase in detection of metastatic nodules.

실시간 차량동역학 해석을 위해서는 효율적인 차량 모델이 필요하게 된다. 효율성을 높이기 위해 집중질량모델로 가정하면 현가장치의 특성을 고려하기 어렵게 되며, 현가장치의 특성을 모두 고려한 다물체동역학 모델에서는 효율성이 떨어진다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 다물체동역학 모델링을 사용하되 해석의 효율성을 저하시키는 현가장치의 각종 요소들의 효과는 기구정역학 실험으로 추출된 특성그래프로 대체함으로써 효율성도 기하고자 시도하였다. $6{\times}6$ 차량을 차체와 휠로 구성된 차량으로 모델을 정의하였고, 다물체동역학 모델인 ADAMS 결과와 비교하여 실험적 모델의 유용성을 검증하였다. 그리고 검증된 실험적 차량모델을 RT-LAB을 활용한 실시간 시뮬레이션 환경에 삽입하여, 실시간성 시뮬레이션의 가능성을 검증하였다.
