  • 배전분야 전력계통에 적용되는 보호기기류는 변전소 차단기, 배전선로의 리클로저, 최소 전류 용량 회로, 고장구간 차단기 등이 있다. 이들은 부분 정전이나 대규모 사고를 방지하고 선로의 순간고장 또는 영구고장 발생 시 정상 계통이 건전성을 유지할 수 있도록 광역 정전 파급을 방지한다. 그러나 사고가 발생할 경우 변전소 차단기와 배전선로 보호기기 간의 보호협조 미비로 인하여 광역 정전을 초래할 수 있다. 더 좋은 전력시스템의 건전성을 확보하기 위하여 1주기(16ms) 이내로 동작하는 차단기를 개발할 필요성이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 친환경 가스절연 방식의 고속도 차단기를 개발하였으며, IEC 62271-111 표준에 기반한 시험에서 우수한 결과를 얻었다. 이 기기는 고장구간을 정확하고 빠르고 신속하게 분리하여 광역 정전 예방에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • An irrigation monitoring system is an efficient approach to save water and to provide effective irrigation scheduling for rice cultivation in desert soils. This research aimed to design, fabricate, and evaluate the basic performance of an irrigation monitoring system based on information and communication technology (ICT) for rice cultivation under drip and micro-sprinkler irrigation in desert soils using a Raspberry Pi. A data acquisition system was installed and tested inside a rice cultivating net house at the United Arab Emirates University, Al-Foah, Al-Ain. The Raspberry Pi operating system was used to control the irrigation and to monitor the soil water content, ambient temperature, humidity, and light intensity inside the net house. Soil water content sensors were placed in the desert soil at depths of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 cm. A sensor-based automatic irrigation logic circuit was used to control the actuators and to manage the crop irrigation operations depending on the soil water content requirements. A developed webserver was used to store the sensor data and update the actuator status by communicating via the Pi-embedded Wi-Fi network. The maximum and minimum average soil water contents, ambient temperatures, humidity levels, and light intensity values were monitored as 33.91 ± 2 to 26.95 ± 1%, 45 ± 3 to 24 ± 3℃, 58 ± 2 to 50 ± 4%, and 7160-90 lx, respectively, during the experimental period. The ICT-based monitoring system ensured precise irrigation scheduling and better performance to provide an adequate water supply and information about the ambient environment.

  • The investigation on vehicle-bridge coupling system (VBCS) is crucial in bridge design, bridge condition evaluation, and vehicle overload control. A real-time hybrid testing (RTHT) method for VBCS (RTHT-VBCS) is proposed in this paper for accurately and economically disclosing the dynamic performance of VBCSs. In the proposed method, one of the carriages is chosen as the experimental substructure loaded by servo-hydraulic actuator loading system in the laboratory, and the remaining carriages as well as the bridge structure are chosen as the numerical substructure numerically simulated in one computer. The numerical substructure and the experimental substructure are synchronized at their coupling points in terms of force equilibrium and deformation compatibility. Compared to the traditional iteration experimental method and the numerical simulation method, the proposed RTHT-VBCS method could not only obtain the dynamic response of VBCS, but also economically analyze various working conditions. Firstly, the theory of RTHT-VBCS is proposed. Secondly, numerical models of VBCS for RTHT method are presented. Finally, the feasibility and accuracy of the RTHT-VBCS are preliminarily validated by real-time hybrid simulations (RTHSs). It is shown that, the proposed RTHT-VBCS is feasible and shows great advantages over the traditional methods, and the proposed models can effectively represent the VBCS for RTHT method in terms of the force equilibrium and deformation compatibility at the coupling point. It is shown that the results of the single-degree-of-freedom model and the train vehicle model are match well with the referenced results. The RTHS results preliminarily prove the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed RTHT-VBCS.

  • Purpose: A modern greenhouse consists of various Information and Communications Technology (ICT) components e.g., sensor nodes, actuator nodes, gateways, controllers, and operating softwarethat communicate with each other. The interoperability between these components is an essential characteristic for any greenhouse control system. A greenhouse control system could not work unless the components communicate via common interfaces. The TTAK.KO-06.0288 is an interface standard consisting of four parts. Notably, TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part3, which describes the interface between a greenhouse operating system (GOS) and a greenhouse control gateway (GCG), is the core standard of TTAK.KO-06.0288. The objectives of this study were to analyze the TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part3 standard, to suggest alternative solutions for identified issues, and to develop a library as a proof of the alternative solutions. Methods: The "data field" was analyzed using a comparative analysis method, since it is a data transmission unit of TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part3. It was compared with other parts of TTAK.KO-06.0288 in terms of definition, format, size, and possible values. Although TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part1 and TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part2 do not use a "data field," they have a similar data structure. That structure was compared with the "data field" of TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part3. Results: Twenty-one issues were identified across four categories: inter-standard issues, intra-standard issues, operational issues, and misprint issues. Since some of the issues can raise interoperability problems, 16 alternative solutions were suggested. In order to prove the alternative solutions, an open-source communication library called libtp3 was developed. The library passed 14 unit tests and was adapted to two research. Conclusions: Although TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part3 is an interface standard for communication between a GOS and a GCG, it might not communicate between different implementations because of the identified issues in the standard. These issues could be solved by the alternative solutions, which could be used to revise TTAK.KO-06.0288. In addition, a relevant organization should develop a program for compatibility testing and should pursue test products for smart greenhouses.

  • 최근 관심이 집중되고 있는 스마트온실의 기술적용 실태와 문제점을 파악하고 이를 토대로 단동온실의 ICT 기술적용 장애요인 극복과 생산성을 제고하기 위하여 실험을 수행하였다. 자동화 시설의 도입 장애요인으로는 시설비 부담(24%)이 높았으며, 설치업체 사후관리 미흡(19%), 잦은 고장(16%), 관리기술 미흡(15%), 기능 미흡(13%), 소득향상기여 미흡(12%) 순이었다. ICT 도입필요성은 노동력절감(15%)이 가장 높았다. 자동화 온실에서 문제가 발생되는 부분은 온실구조, 구동기제어, 복합환경제어기, 센서기술이 각 14%로 비슷하였고, 원격제어기술 13%, 작물관리기술 12%, 에너지절감기술 10%, 소프트웨어활용 8%이었다. 온실구조 측면에서의 문제점은 천창개선이 18%로 가장 많았다. 효율적인 온도 및 환기 제어를 위해 농촌진흥청 고시 10-단동-7형 온실에 랙피니언 천창을 추가하였으며, 지붕형태를 복숭아형으로 변경하였다. 온실내 환경의 균일성을 위해 공기 유동팬은 6대를 설치하도록 하되 필요에 따라 증설 가능하도록 하였으며, 에너지 절약을 위해 1, 2중은 두께 0.1mm필름을 사용하고 3중은 5겹보온커튼을 설치하였다. CFD 유동해석 결과, 측창이 열린조건에서는 풍상 방향의 평균 유속이 빠르고 온도가 낮았으며, 풍하 방향으로 멀어 질수록 평균 유속이 점차 느려지고 온도는 높게 나타났다. 반면, 측창이 닫힌조건에서는 평균 유속이 낮으며, 구역별로 큰 편차는 없었다. 다만 풍상 풍하의 천창이 모두 열린 조건에 비하여 풍하 방향의 천창만 열린조건이 영역별 평균 유속에서 더 높은 값을 보였다. 측창을 닫은 조건에서는 외기의 유동이 아닌 온실 내 설치된 환기용 유동팬에 의해 유속이 발생하며 외부 환기가 없는 조건에서 유동팬에 의한 순환은 실내 전체 공간의 유동 편차를 줄여 줄 수는 있지만 전체적인 온도에는 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 저측고의 영역별 평균 온도는 고측고보다 균일하게 나타났다. 겨울철 3중 다겹보온커튼 여닫음에 관계없이 유동팬 근처에서 유속이 높고 유동팬에서 멀어지면 유속이 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 시간경과에 따른 평균 온도는 3중다겹보온커튼 열림상태에서 약 2시간 후에 외부온도와 같아졌으나 닫힘상태에서는 5시간 이후에 외부온도와 같아져, 3중 다겹보온커튼의 보온효과가 뚜렷하였다. 같은 조건에서 열용량의 차이로 인해 저측고 온실이 고측고 온실에 비하여 온도 하강 속도가 빨랐다.
