Reduction in pollution performance of polymeric insulators, aged due to water absorption stress and thermal stress, is a major threat to the reliable operation of power transmission and distribution system. Formation of partial discharges on the surface of wet polluted insulator plays a major role in determining the life time and pollution performance of outdoor polymeric insulators. However, reports on partial discharge characteristics of water absorption stress aged and thermal aged polymeric insulators are scanty. This paper discusses the pollution performance characteristics of accelerated aged polymeric insulators using the advanced ultra wide band PD signal measurement and analysis. Laboratory experiments on accelerated aged polymeric insulators were carried out as per IEC 60507 under AC voltage, at different humidity and contamination levels using NaCl as a contaminant. PRPD pattern and Time-Frequency map analysis of PD signals were carried out. From the results, it can be speculated that PD analysis is a well suited technique to understand the pollution performance of aged polymeric insulators.

Surface Image Velocimetry (SIV) is a recently-developed discharge measurement instrument. It uses image processing techniques to measure the water surface velocity and estimate water discharge with given cross section. The present study aims to implement a FSIV (Fixed-type Surface Image Velocimetry) at Soojeon Bridge in the Dalcheon. The hardware system consists of two digital cameras, a computer, and a pressure-type water stage gauge. The images taken with the hardware system are sent to a server computer via a wireless internet, and analyzed with a image processing software (SIV software). The estimated discharges were compared with the observed discharges through Goesan dam spillway and index velocity method using ADVM. The computed results showed a good agreement with the observed one, except for the night time. The results compared with discharges through Goesan dam spillway reached around 5~10% in the case of discharge over 30 m3/s, and the results compared with discharges through index velocity method using ADVM reached around 5% in the case of discharge over 200 $m^3/s$. Considering the low cost of the system and the visual inspection of the site situation with the images, the SIV would be fairly good way to measure water discharge in real time.

A water shortage is one of the most important factors for development and management of water resources. For reliable water shortage measurement in a stream, Korea Water Resources Corporation(KOWACO) founded five foot Parshall flume at Yong-dam experimental watershed in 2000. The Parshall flume has a specially designed shape to facilitate flow measurements by eliminating sediment deposition problem that could lead to an incorrect measurement. In this study, computational fluid dynamics(CFD) model was used to analyze flow behavior of Parshall Flume under free discharge of five headwater level cases. The flow rates computed by CFD model are compared with those by ISO's formula, USBR's formula and stage-discharge rating curves. Flow rates computed by ISO's and USBR's formula are mostly same, but flow rate by CFD model is larger than empirical value by 9% and flow rate by stage-discharge rating curves is less than empirical value by 16%.

The Nakdong Estuary Barrage is a tidal river environment where freshwater and seawater meet. This requires systematic monitoring of both surface water discharged from the estuary barrage and submarine groundwater discharge. In this study, upstream hydrograph and water balance analysis were used to calculate the change in water storage and discharge of the Nakdong Estuary Barrage. Submarine groundwater discharge was also calculated based on remote sensing-based digital elevation model data and hydrological modeling data, and compared with the estimated surface water discharge for analysis. Our proposed method can be efficiently applied to water resource management by utilizing remote sensing-based altimeter data other than field measurement. Because submarine groundwater discharge plays a significant role on the coastal environment as well as surface water discharge from an estuary barrage, studies on groundwatersurface water interactions in a river estuary should be sufficiently considered in monitoring the ecosystem of the Nakdong Estuary Barrage.

In this paper, the electric field distribution in dielectric tube with one layer and spherical dielectric($ZrO_2$) in water was simulated. The reactor was made up of the spherical dielectric that is diameter : 3.0[mm], $ZrO_2(\varepsilon_r:10)$ and one glass plate of thickness(2[mm]), $\varepsilon_r$(10) as electrode. The discharge gap was 8[mm]. To get more strong electric field, the dielectric constant should be higher comparatively. Using the spherical dielectric for water discharge in dielectric tube, the location of equipotential line was shifting from the interior to the exterior. At real water discharge experimental, ozone was measured higher dissolved ozone in water at condition of water rate(l[l/min]) and injector than condition of non-injector or 2~3[l/min].

In this paper, the electric field distribution in dielectric tube with one layer and spherical dielectric(glass) in water was simulated. The reactor was made up of the spherical dielectric that is diameter : 3.0[mm], glass(${\varepsilon}_r$:5) and one glass plate of thickness(2[mm]), ${\varepsilon}_r$(5) as electrode. The discharge gap was 8[mm). Toget more strong electric field, the dielectric constant should be higher comparatively. Using the spherical dielectric for water discharge in dielectric tube, the location of equipotential line was shifting from the interior to the exterior. At real water discharge experimental, $H_2O_2$ was measured higher generated $H_2O_2$ in water at condition of water rate(1[l/min]) and injector than condition of non-injector or 2-3[l/min])

Soil particles from rainfall flow into reservoir and give lots of influence in water quality because the Even though techniques related with computer and communications are growing rapidly, it is true that efforts for hydrological survey and the management of its results have not been made enough to make use of the state-of-the-art technologies. Among the water-related techniques, measurement of river discharge is the most important one because these data are basic to almost every field of the hydrological science. In this research, a large-scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV) unit has been designed and constructed to measure river discharge effectively In field conditions. Measured data using this unit is compared with the results recorded by the microwave water surface current meter (MWSCM) at the same location. The purpose of this research is to propagate the feasibility of using the MWSCM for river discharge velocimetry.

The research estimated the roughness coefficients for the reach of Hwawon-Goryeonggyo-Hyeongpung stage stations in the Nakdong River through hydraulic channel routing. The data needed were only stage data from the three stations and river cross section data. Stage-discharge relations were determined from the computed discharges by the channel routing. They are better than the previous stage-discharge relations from direct measurements. Discharge computation errors from stage errors were analyzed and a simple method was suggested to limt reach lengths from prohibiting large errors from lateral inflows.

The oil tanker ship over 150GRT must equip oil content meter which satisfy requirements of revised MARPOL 73/78. Online measurement of oil content in complex samples is required to have fast response, continuous measurement, and satisfaction of ${\pm}10ppm$ or ${\pm}10%$ error in this field. The research of this paper is to develop oil content measurement system using analysis of light transmission and scattering among turbidity measurement methods. Light transmission and scattering are analytical methods commonly used in instrumentation for online turbidity measurement of oil in water. Gasoline is experimented as a sample and the oil content approximately ranged from 14ppm to 600ppm. TSK Fuzzy Model may be suitable to associate variously derived spectral signals with specific content of oil having various interfering factors. Proposed Parallel TSK Fuzzy Model is reasonably used to classify oil content in comparison with other models. Those measurement methods would be effectively applied and commercialized to oil content meter that is key components of oil discharge monitoring control equipment.
