본 연구에서는 광섬유를 활용한 온도분포 센싱 방법을 실규모 제방 실험에 적용하여, 제방의 사면과 제체 내부의 변화를 모니터링하는 광역형 제방 모니터링 기술의 적용성을 검토하였다. 실규모 제방에 광섬유를 매립하고 저류지의 수위 변화에 따른 제체 내부의 시간적, 공간적 온도 변화를 측정하였다. 저류지 수위가 증가함에 따라 제방 사면의 온도는 감소하였으며, 침투가 진행되면서는 온도 변화가 나타나는 공간적 위치의 변화가 감지되었다. 제방 침투로 인한 온도 변화는 침투 경과 시간에 따라 차이가 나타났고, 침윤선으로 추정되는 변화를 관찰할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 제방 내부의 온도 변화에 대한 정보는 제방 내부의 상태 변화를 판단하고 상대적으로 취약하다고 판정되는 지점에 대한 정보로 해석될 수 있음을 증명하였다.

A methodology based on distributed fiber optic sensors is proposed to detect the lateral buckling for subsea pipelines in this study. Uncontrolled buckling may lead to serious consequences for the structural integrity of a pipeline. A simple solution to this problem is to control the formation of lateral buckles among the pipeline. This firms the importance of monitoring the occurrence and evolution of pipeline buckling during the installation stage and long-term service cycle. This study reports the experimental investigations on a method for distributed detection of lateral buckling in subsea pipelines with Brillouin fiber optic sensor. The sensing scheme possesses the capability for monitoring the pipeline over the entire structure. The longitudinal strains are monitored by mounting the Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) distributed sensors on the outer surface of the pipeline. Then the bending-induced strain is extracted to detect the occurrence and evolution of lateral buckling. Feasibility of the method was validated by using an experimental program on a small scale model pipe. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach is able to detect, in a distributed manner, the onset and progress of lateral buckling in pipelines. The methodology developed in this study provides a promising tool for assessing the structural integrity of subsea pipelines.

한국원자력연구원 내에 위치하는 지하연구시설의 안정적인 운영을 위하여 터널 내 벽면과 주변 사면의 지반변위 및 온도 변화를 실시간 감시할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하였다. 이 시스템은 광섬유센서케이블의 센서 기능을 활용하여 케이블 전체가 하나의 센서 기능을 하는 분포개념의 온도 및 변형을 측정기법을 이용한 것으로서 기존의 특정지점 계측방법과는 확연하게 차별된다. 이 기법은 구조물의 특성에 따라 선택적으로 탄력적 적용이 가능하여, 최대 매 1 m 간격으로 총연장 30 km까지 하나의 운영체계로 감시할 수 있는 기능을 가지고 있다. 변형특성의 계측 범위는 1 m 당 1 mm 변위 크기까지 계측이 가능하며, 변위 발생 위치와 변위가 진행하는 방향까지 계측 가능하다. 온도는 $0.01^{\circ}C$ 해상도를 가지며 케이블 종류에 따라 $-160{\sim}600^{\circ}C$까지 계측이 가능하다. 지하연구시설에서 1년 간의 모니터링 결과, 터널 벽면 및 주변 사면에서 뚜렷한 변위 혹은 거동은 확인할 수 없었으나, 지하수 누출에 의해 점진적으로 영향이 미칠 것으로 예상되는 징후를 확인하였다. 이로서 숏크리트로 처리한 터널 벽면의 균열변형 및 붕괴/낙반사고를 사전에 감지하고, 암반 내 지하수위의 등락과 함께 연구 터널내 환기상태를 감시, 관리할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하게 되었다. 이 외에도 이 시스템은 복잡한 구조를 갖는 플랜트의 변형은 물론 장대 구조물과 고층빌딩, 대형선박, 장대 교량, 댐과 송수관로 및 지하철 등의 안전 유지상태 및 누수 등의 감시에도 적용 가능하다. 특히 온도 변화 감시 기능은 목재 건조물에도 효과적으로 이용할 수 있다.

Oil pollution of the ocean is a major environmental problem, especially in its coastal zones. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) flown on satellites, such as ERS-2 and Envisat, has been proved to be a useful tool in oil spill monitoring due to its wide coverage, day and night, and all-weather capability. The total 120 SAR images containing oil spill over the East China Sea were collected and analyzed, ranging in date from July 23, 2002 to November 11, 2005. After preprocessed, SAR images were segmented by adaptive threshold method. The oil spill images were incorporated into GIS after distinguished from look-like phenomena, finally we presented the oil spills distribution map for the East China Sea. The wide-swath and quick-looks SAR imagery for mapping of oil spill distribution over large marine areas were proved to be useful when full resolution data are not available. After the temporal and spatial distribution of the oil spills were analyzed, we found that most of oil spills were distributed along the main ship routes, which means the illegal discharge by ships, and the occurrence of oil spill detected on SAR images acquired during morning and summer is much higher than during evening and winter.

Optical fiber Brillouin sensor in a coil winding setup is proposed in this paper to measure the expansion deformation of a concrete column with a central rebar subjected to accelerated corrosion. The optical sensor monitored the whole dynamic corrosion process from initial deformation to final cracking. Experimental results show that Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (BOTDR) can accurately measure the strain values and identify the crack locations of the simulated reinforced concrete (RC) column. A theoretical model is used to calculate the RC corrosion expansive pressure and crack length. The results indicate that the measured strain and cracking history revealed the development of the steel bar corrosion inside the simulated RC column.

Optical fibre sensors have shown a potential to serve real time health monitoring of Slope and structure. They can be easily embedded or attached to the structures and are not affected by the electro-magnetic field. Furthermore, they have the flexibility of the sensor size and very highly sensitive. In this study, we conducted several laboratory on slope and field tests using a novel optical sensor based on Brillouin scattering and PVC pipe. One of the advantages of this technique is that the bare fibre itself acts as sensing element without any special fibre processing or preparation. Test results have shown that BOTDR can be a great solution for sensor systems of Slope.

As ESS safety issues increase recently, there is a need to more precisely monitor the temperature of the ESS. In this paper, DTS technology for temperature monitoring of ESS batteries is introduced and the temperature measurement principle is explained. The temperature of the battery module is measured using the DTS system, and the thermal deviation between battery cells inside the battery module is analyzed. In order to analyze how thermal imbalance affects the charging and discharging performance of the battery, an accelerated degradation test was conducted. Cycle life characteristics analysis, battery surface temperature change, and AC impedance characteristics were conducted to analyze how the performance of battery cells differs according to temperature conditions.

The COMS(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite), a multi-mission geo-stationary satellite, is being developed by KARl. The first mission of the COMS is the meteorological image and data gathering for weather forecast by using a five channel meteorological imager. The second mission is the oceanographic image and data gathering for marine environment monitoring around Korean Peninsula by using an eight channel Geostationary Ocean Color Imager(GOCI). The third mission is newly developed Ka-Band communication payload certification test in space by providing communication service in Korean Peninsula and Manjurian area. There were many low Earth orbit satellites for ocean monitoring. However, there has never been any geostationary satellite for ocean monitoring. The COMS is going to be the first satellite for ocean monitoring mission on the geo-stationary orbit. The meteorological image and data obtained by the COMS will be distributed to end users in Asia-Pacific area and it will contribute to the improved weather forecast.

Wide-area monitoring of tree-related high impedance fault (THIF) efficiently contributes to increase reliability of large-scaled network, since the failure to early location of them may results in critical lines tripping and consequently large blackouts. In the first place, this wide-area monitoring of THIF requires managing the placement of sensors across large power grid network according to THIF detection objective. For this purpose, current paper presents a framework in which sensors are distributed according to a predetermined risk map. The proposed risk map determines the possibility of THIF occurrence on every branch in a power network, based on electrical conductivity of trees and their positions to power lines which extracted from spectral data. The obtained possibility value can be considered as a weight coefficient assigned to each branch in sensor placement problem. The next step after sensors deployment is to on-line monitor based on moving data window. In this on-line process, the received data window is evaluated for obtaining a correlation between low frequency and high frequency components of signal. If obtained correlation follows a specified pattern, received signal is considered as a THIF. Thereafter, if several faulted section candidates are found by deployed sensors, the most likely location is chosen from the list of candidates based on predetermined THIF risk map.
