For the upper air observations, a temperature measurement using radiosonde is a common method, and the compensation of solar radiation effects in the radiosonde temperature sensor is an important factor. In this paper, we present various experiments and compensation methods of the radiosonde temperature sensor to overcome the errors caused by the movement of the radiosonde rotation, etc. The methods and procedures of this study are as follows. First, we used the solar simulator to analyze the temperature variation and solar effect of the temperature sensor in the radiosonde according to the insolation. We also analyzed the temperature variation and solar effect of the temperature sensor according to the incident angle between the solar simulator and radiosonde. Second, we measured and analyzed solar radiation absorbed by solar cells attached to radiosonde. Third, we present combined compensate solution of the first and the second experiment results, to overcome errors caused by insolation effects in the radiosonde temperature sensors. Fourth, we compared that the reference temperature in similar environment with the upper air conditions, to verify the new radiated compensation performance of the radiosonde temperature sensor. Finally, the radiosonde fabricated in this study was raised to the atmosphere, and the laser correction algorithm proposed through experiments was reviewed. As a result of the radiosonde SRS-10 produced in this study, the temperature deviation from Vaisala RS92 was $0.057^{\circ}C$ in nighttime observation, $0.17^{\circ}C$ in daytime observation, It is expected that the GRUAN under WMO will be able to obtain a high test rating of 5.0.

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.

Grid connected transformerless solar power generation system is frequently used with the benefits of cost and efficiency. However, significant DC leakage current can flow from the DC line into the ground with dielectric breakdown in the transformerless solar power generation system. The leakage current occurred in the DC line causes accidents such as fire and electric shock on human. To resolve this problem, high sensitivity DC leakage current sensor is needed. But recently the studies on safety of DC line are not performed. In this paper, a high sensitivity DC leakage current sensor that can detect DC leakage current in solar power generation system, is proposed. Based on the studies, DC leakage current sensor is fabricated and characteristic tests are carried out. Finally, the accuracy of sensor performance is verified by leakage current experiments in solar power generation system.

The existing solar tracking sensor for 2 axial control system to trace latitude and longitude is made of four phototransistor. The phototransistor-making is difficult and it's manufacturing is more high-priced than a wide use phototransistor because they have to the same characteristics of each phototransistor output signal. This paper described the algorithm for supplement these weakness. The algorithm applied to signal normalizing method and vector decomposition law. The deviations of each a wide use phototransistor output signal are resolved by signal normalizing method and it is able to make a solar tracking sensor using three phototransistor by vector decomposition law. Therefore, in this paper, it is reduced the number of phototransistor that is composed of solar tracking sensor and possible to use a wide use phototransistor by the proposed algorithm.

최근 태양 에너지의 효율을 높이기 위해 사용되는 태양 추적 장치의 태양 추적 방법으로는 센서 방식, 프로그램 방식, 센서와 프로그램을 결합한 프로그램 혼합식으로 나눌 수 있다. 센서 방식 태양 추적 방법에서 AC 모터 및 CdS 센서를 이용한 태양 추적 장치는 저렴한 가격으로 제작이 가능하지만 모터 정지 시 발생하는 관성에 의한 오차 및 태양 빛의 산란에 의한 오차로 인해 위치 정밀도가 낮은 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 태양의 위치를 판단하는 CdS 센서 모듈 설계 방법과 추적 시 발생하는 오차를 미리 측정하여 그 값을 추적 제어 시 이용하는 제어 방법을 통해 위치 정밀도를 높이는 방법에 대해 제안하였다. 또한, 태양 추적 장치의 성능을 평가하기 위해 태양열 온수기를 구현하여 효율 향상 측면과 위치 정밀도 측면에서 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과, 위치 정밀도 실험에서는 ${\pm}2mm$의 위치 정밀도를 나타내 태양열 온수기의 허용 오차인 ${\pm}15mm$를 만족하였으며, 효율 향상 실험에서는 국내 온수기 인증 기준인 KSB8202 대비 32%의 효율 향상을 가져왔다.

무선 센서 네트워크를 이용한 응용들 중 특히 환경 모니터링을 위해 대량으로 배치된 센서 노드들은 배터리 교체가 어렵고 교체시에 비용이 많이 드는 단점이 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해서는 무선 센서 네트워크 주위에 존재하는 신재생 에너지를 이용할 필요가 있다. 신재생 에너지들 중 태양 에너지는 매일 사용할 수 있고 에너지의 밀도가 다른 에너지원들 보다 높아 많이 이용되고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 태양 에너지를 충전하여 지속적으로 동작할 수 있는 무선 센서 노드의 에너지 충전 및 방전 특성을 모델링하여 무선 센서 노드의 에너지 활용 형태를 예측할 수 있는 이론적 모델을 제안한다. 개선된 모델에 의해 예측된 결과와 실제 무선 센서 노드의 에너지 활용 패턴을 비교 분석함으로써 실제와 유사하게 모델링할 수 있다.

Typical trouble patterns in solar thermal systems include working fluid leakage and freezing other than breakdown of pump. A fluid sensor for measuring electric resistance of fluid was developed and installed at the top of the collector piping in order to check the fault of solar system. Working fluid level in the pipe was determined by measuring electric resistance from a fluid sensor. On the base of this, it was confirmed that the fluid sensor diagnoses leakage of fluid. Electric resistance of propylene glycol aqueous solution was measured in the range of $0{\sim}70^{\circ}C$ and 0~40% of concentration. The response surface analysis was performed by using a central composite design, and the regression equation was derived from the relationship between electric resistance, temperature, and concentration. Through the experiment in a real solar system, we can estimate a concentration of working fluid when a pump is not operating and predict a possibility of freezing. Finally, an effective algorithm for trouble shooting was proposed to operate and maintain the solar system.

OSMI(Ocean Scanning Multi-Spectral Imager) raw image data(Level 0) were acquired and radiometrically corrected. We have applied two methods, using solar & dark calibration data from OSMI sensor and comparing with the SeaWiFS data, to the radiometric correction of OSMI raw image data. First, we could get the values of the gain and the offset for each pixel and each band from comparing the solar & dark calibration data with the solar input radiance values, calculated from the transmittance, BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) and the solar incidence angle($\beta$, $\theta$) of OSMI sensor. Applying this calibration data to OSMI raw image data, we got the two odd results, the lower value of the radiometric corrected image data than the expected value, and the Venetian Blind Effect in the radiometric corrected image data. Second, we could get the reasonable results from comparing OSMI raw image data with the SeaWiFS data, and get a new problem of OSMI sensor.
