In this work, we propose weather prediction models to estimate hourly outdoor temperatures and solar irradiance in the next day using forecasting information. Hourly weather data predicted by the proposed models are useful for setting system operating strategies for the next day. The outside temperature prediction model considers 3-hourly temperatures forecasted by Korea Meteorological Administration. Hourly data are obtained by a simple interpolation scheme. The solar irradiance prediction is achieved by constructing a dataset with the observed cloudiness and correspondent solar irradiance during the last two weeks and then by matching the forecasted cloud factor for the next day with the solar irradiance values in the dataset. To verify the usefulness of the weather prediction models in predicting a short-term building load, the predicted data are inputted to a TRNSYS building model, and results are compared with a reference case. Results show that the test case can meet the acceptance error level defined by the ASHRAE guideline showing 8.8% in CVRMSE in spite of some inaccurate predictions for hourly weather data.

The objective of this study was to evaluate particle collection performance of electrostatic precipitator (ESP) integrated with double skin façade in naturally ventilated residential buildings using numerical method. To evaluate the efficiency, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation based on electric potential and Lagrangian method was applied. The CFD model was validated by comparing the simulated results with the experimental data including thermal characteristic of double skin façade (DSF) and particle removal characteristic of electrostatic precipitator. The validation results showed that the root mean square error (RMSE) between predicted values and measured values of velocity and temperature in intermediate space of DSF was 1.2%. The adequacy of ion space charge density and turbulent model were determined. The RMSE between predicted values and measured values of collection efficiency of ESP was 9.2%. In addition, the case study was performed to present the application of the numerical method based on validation results of ESP integrated with façade.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61788-26:2020 provides guidelines for measuring the critical current of Rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) tapes using two methods: linear ramp and step-hold methods. The critical current measurement criterion, 1 or 0.1 μV/cm of electric field from IEC 61788-26 has been normally applied to REBCO coils or magnets. No-insulation (NI) winding technique has many advantages in aspects of electrical and thermal stability and mechanical integrity. However, the leak current from the NI REBCO coil can cause distortion in critical current measurement due to the characteristic resistance which causes the radial current flow paths. In this paper, we simulated the NI REBCO coil by applying both linear ramp and step-hold methods based on a simplified equivalent circuit model. Using the circuit analysis, we analyzed and evaluated both methods. By using the equivalent circuit model, we can evaluate the critical current of the NI REBCO coil, resulting in an estimation error within 0.1%. We also evaluate the accuracy of critical current measurement using both the linear ramp and step-hold methods. The accuracy of the linear ramp method is influenced by the inductive voltage, whereas the accuracy of the step-hold method depends on the duration of the hold-time. An adequate hold time, typically 5 to 10 times the time constant (τ), makes the step-hold method more accurate than the linear ramp method.

The manual inspection of photovoltaic (PV) panels to meet the requirements of inspection work for large-scale PV power plants is challenging. We present a hot spot detection and positioning method to detect hot spots in batches and locate their latitudes and longitudes. First, a network based on the YOLOv3 architecture was utilized to identify hot spots. The innovation is to modify the RU_1 unit in the YOLOv3 model for hot spot detection in the far field of view and add a neural network residual unit for fusion. In addition, because of the misidentification problem in the infrared images of the solar PV panels, the DeepLab v3+ model was adopted to segment the PV panels to filter out the misidentification caused by bright spots on the ground. Finally, the latitude and longitude of the hot spot are calculated according to the geometric positioning method utilizing known information such as the drone's yaw angle, shooting height, and lens field-of-view. The experimental results indicate that the hot spot recognition rate accuracy is above 98%. When keeping the drone 25 m off the ground, the hot spot positioning error is at the decimeter level.

An accurate prediction of dormancy release and bud burst in temperate zone fruit trees is indispensable for farmers to plan heating time under partially controlled environments as well as to reduce the risk of frost damage in open fields. A thermal time-based two-step phenological model that originated in Italy was applied to two important grapevine cultivars in Korea for predicting bud-burst dates. The model consists of two sequential periods: a rest period described by chilling requirement and a forcing period described by heating requirement. It requires daily maximum and minimum temperature as an input and calculates daily chill units (chill days in negative sign) until a pre-determined chilling requirement for rest release is met. After the projected rest release date, it adds daily heat units (anti-chill days in positive sign) to the chilling requirement. The date when the sum reaches zero isregarded as the bud-burst in the model. Controlled environment experiments using field sampled twigs of 'Campbell Early' and 'Kyoho' cultivars were carried out in the vineyard at the National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI) in Suwon during 2004-2005 to derive the model parameters: threshold temperature for chilling and chilling requirement for breaking dormancy. The model adjusted with the selected parameters was applied to the 1994-2004 daily temperature data obtained from the automated weather station in the NHRI vineyard to estimate bud burst dates of two cultivars and the results were compared with the observed data. The model showed a consistently good performance in predicting the bud burst of 'Campbell Early' and 'Kyoho' cultivars with 2.6 and 2.5 days of root mean squared error, respectively.

Han River is a complex water system consisting of many lakes. The water quality of Lake Paldang is significantly affected by incoming flows, which are the South and North branches of the Han River, and the Kyungan Stream. In order to manage the water quality of the Lake Paldang, we should consider the entire water body where the incoming flows are included. The objectives of this study are to develop an integrated river and lake modeling system for Han River system using a multidimensional dynamic model and evaluate the model's performance against field measurement data. The integrated model was calibrated and verified using field measurement data obtained in 2007 and 2008. The model showed satisfactory performance in predicting temporal variations of water level, flow rate and temperature. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) for water temperature simulation were $0.88{\sim}2.13^{\circ}C$ (calibration period) and $1.05{\sim}2.00^{\circ}C$ (verification period) respectively. And Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) for water temperature simulation were 1089~0.98 (calibration period) and 0.90~0.98 (verification period). Utilizing the validated model, we analyzed the spatial and temporal distributions of temperature within Han River system. The variations of temperature along the river reaches and vertical thermal profiles for each lakes were effectively simulated with developed model. The suggested modeling system can be effectively used for integrated water quality management of water system consisting of many rivers and lakes.

In this study, a ventilation model was developed to determine a ventilation rate for the balance of heat, moisture and $CO_{2}$ in a mushroom house. Internal and external temperature, relative humidity and $CO_{2}$ concentration were measured and used to validate the ventilation model. The effects of various environmental factors on physiological responses of mushroom were also investigated. The verified model was simulated under the observed ventilation rates with a difference of$ 0.001{\~}0.065\;m^{3}{\cdot}S^{-1}$ (relative error of $0.3{\~}18.9\%$) when external temperature varied 22.5 to $24.8^{circ}C$ and average ventilation rates was $0.35m^{3}{\cdot}S^{-1}$. The optimal conditions for mushroom growth (internal temperature $22 ^{circ}C$, relative humidity $80\%$, $CO_{2}$ concentration 1,000 ppm) were used for the model application with external temperature, relative humidity and $CO_{2}$ concentration of $27.5{\~}33.5^{circ}C$, $60\%$, and 355 ppm, respectively. Thermal balance was a important factor for an optimum ventilation up to the external temperature of $32^{circ}C$, while $CO_{2}$ concentration balance was more important over $32^{circ}C$. This suggests that humidification for moisture balance is required to maintain temperature and $CO_{2}$ concentration at an optimal level by ventilation in a mushroom house.

고압나트륨등(high-pressure sodium, HPS 램프)은 작물 생육 발달에 필요한 충분한 양의 광합성유효방사를 제공하는 동시에 복사열을 통해 온실 난방 부하를 절감할 수 있어 겨울철 시설원예 보광 조명으로 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 겨울철에 생육 중기를 맞이하는 시설 과채류의 경우, 작물의 정단부가 복사열에 영향을 많이 받고, 캐노피 위치에 따라 엽온 차이가 증가될 수 있다. 또한 온실 기온 역시 보광등에서 발생한 열이 상부로 상승 및 정체되면서 불필요한 에너지 낭비 및 온도 불균일성 역시 심화될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목표는 CFD 열전달 해석을 통해 HPS 램프에 의한 열적 특성 및 생육 단계별 수평적 엽온 변화를 분석하고, 온실 내 수직적 기온 및 작물의 캐노피별 엽온을 측정하여, 온실 내 환경 균일성 제고 및 효과적 에너지 활용 방안을 모색하는 것이었다. 생육 초기, 중기, 및 후기를 대변하는 초장(1.0, 1.6, 2.2m)에서의 정단부 수평적 엽온을 CFD 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하였다. 또한 HPS 램프 작동 이후 수직적 기온과 캐노피 높이별 엽온을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 보광 시 엽온과 기온 간의 차이가 커지고, 수직적 기온 역시 불균일해짐을 알 수 있었다. 생육 단계가 진전될수록, 고온의 복사열이 중심부에 집중되며, 상단부 수평적 엽온 편차가 커지고, 균일성 역시 떨어지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 열획득 모델을 통한 수치해석 결과, 보광등이 2022년12월 기간 난방부하에 약 50.1% 기여하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 평균절대오차 및 평균제곱근 오차는 생육 초기 및 생육 중기 모두0.5 이하로, 실측값과 예측값에 높은 일치도를 보였다. 수직적 기온 및 엽온 분포와 생육 단계별 수평적 엽온 분포에 관한 본 연구의 결과는 효율적 에너지 관리 및 작물 생육 발달에 관한 의사결정에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

A thermal time-based two-step phenological model was used to project flowering dates of Japanese cherry in South Korea from 1941 to 2100. The model consists of two sequential periods: the rest period described by chilling requirement and the forcing period described by heating requirement. Daily maximum and minimum temperature are used to calculate daily chill units until a pre-determined chilling requirement for rest release is met. After the projected rest release date, daily heat units (growing degree days) are accumulated until a pre-determined heating requirement for flowering is achieved. Model calculations using daily temperature data at 18 synoptic stations during 1955-2004 were compared with the observed blooming dates and resulted in 3.9 days mean absolute error, 5.1 days root mean squared error, and a correlation coefficient of 0.86. Considering that the phonology observation has never been fully standardized in Korea, this result seems reasonable. Gridded data sets of daily maximum and minimum temperature with a 270 m grid spacing were prepared for the climatological years 1941-1970 and 1971-2000 from observations at 56 synoptic stations by using a spatial interpolation scheme for correcting urban heat island effect as well as elevation effect. A 25km-resolution temperature data set covering the Korean Peninsula, prepared by the Meteorological Research Institute of Korea Meteorological Administration under the condition of Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change-Special Report on Emission Scenarios A2, was converted to 270 m gridded data for the climatological years 2011-2040, 2041-2070 and 2071-2100. The model was run by the gridded daily maximum and minimum temperature data sets, each representing a climatological normal year for 1941-1970, 1971-2000, 2011-2040, 2041-2070, and 2071-2100. According to the model calculation, the spatially averaged flowering date for the 1971-2000 normal is shorter than that for 1941-1970 by 5.2 days. Compared with the current normal (1971-2000), flowering of Japanese cherry is expected to be earlier by 9, 21, and 29 days in the future normal years 2011-2040, 2041-2070, and 2071-2100, respectively. Southern coastal areas might experience springs with incomplete or even no Japanese cherry flowering caused by insufficient chilling for breaking bud dormancy.

일반적으로 운동방정식을 풀기 위해 많이 이용되는 선형근사모델은 계산이 용이한 반면에 큰 변형상태에서는 그 오차가 커지는 단점이 있다. 따라서 엄밀한 구조물의 응답해석을 위해서는 물성과 기하에 대한 비선형성을 고려해야 한다. 또한, 강과 같이 연성이 큰 재료는 소성 변형을 일으키면서 소산되는 에너지의 대부분이 열로 변하게 되며, 이 열은 열역학 제1 법칙과 2 법칙에 따라 다른 부분으로 전달된다. 이렇게 전달된 열은 온도를 상승시켜 재료의 강도를 약화시키는 역할을 하며, 이것이 다시 구조물의 응답에 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 지진 등의 큰 하중을 받거나 화재로 인한 열 하중을 받는 강구조물의 비선형 대 변형 현상을 적절히 해석할 수 있는 열-탄소성 물성모델을 제안하고 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하려다.
