In the plant industry, the share of equipment accounts for 45 ~ 75%, which is very high. It is a traditional plant centered on processes and reactions like petroleum and chemical plants. Renewable energy generation plants such as wind power generation and solar power generation are equipment-centric plants. Equipment-centric plants are very important not only in the EPC phase but also in the operation and management phase. The procurement of equipment for plant operation and management can be divided into make and buy. Make is a method of producing equipment itself, and buy is a method of procuring equipment from the outside. The procurement method of the equipment directly affects the plant operation and management cost. In this study, the decision making of equipment procurement method for plant operation and management is defined as 4 phase. Each phase is selection of procurement decision-making objects, technology strategy perspective, finance perspective, and production perspective. In detail, we defined selection process of procurement decision-making objects and technology strategy perspective process. We will contribute to the enhancement of the competitiveness of the plant operation and management area by carrying out researches on the process and application examples of financial and production perspectives in the future.

Agriculture plays an industrial and economic role, as well as an environmental and ecological conservation role, group harmony and the inheritance of traditional culture. However, no matter how advanced the industry is, the basic food necessary for human life can only be produced through the photosynthesis of plants with natural resources such as the sun, water, and air. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) predicts that the world's population will increase by another 2 billion people by 2050, and it faces a myriad of complex and diverse factors to consider, including climate change, food security concerns, and global ecosystems and political factors. In particular, in order to solve problems such as increasing productivity and production of agricultural products, improving quality, and saving energy, it is difficult to solve them with traditional farming methods. Recently, with the wind of the 4th industrial revolution, ICT convergence technology and artificial intelligence have been rapidly developing in many fields, but it is also true that the application of new technologies is somewhat delayed due to the unique characteristics of agriculture. However, in recent years, as ICT and artificial intelligence utilization technologies have been developed and applied by many researchers, a revolution is also taking place in agriculture. This paper summarizes the current state of research so far in four categories of agriculture, namely crop cultivation environment management, soil management, pest management, and irrigation management, and smart farm research data that has recently been actively developed around the world.

최근, 지구온난화 등의 문제로 인해 새로운 에너지 기술의 개발이 화제가 되고 있다. 중규모 이상의 출력을 얻도록 최적화된 태양광 및 태양열, 풍력 발전과 같은 신재생에너지 기술과 다르게 에너지 하베스팅기술은 출력전력이 매우 작아 크게 주목받지 못하고 있다. 하지만 최근 모바일 산업이 활성화 되면서 에너지 하베스팅기술의 활용가치가 재평가 받고 있다. 또한, 최대전력점 추적방식기술 역시 활발히 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일정한 저항부하를 위한 열전모듈의 새로운 최대전력점추적 제어방식을 제안한다. 열전 모듈(이하 TEM: Thermoelectric Module)의 V-I곡선특성과 내부저항을 분석하고. 기존의 MPPT제어방식을 비교하였다. P&O(Perturbation and Observation)제어방식은 전압, 전류를 측정하기위한 센서 2개를 사용해야하기 때문에 CV제어방식보다 경제성이 떨어지지만 보다 정확히 MPP를 찾는다는 장점을 가진다. CV(Constant Voltage)제어방식은 전압센서 1개만 사용하기 때문에 경제적인 측면에서는 P&O제어방식보다 뛰어나지만, MPP가 정확히 못하다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 두 제어방식의 장점만을 가지고 TEM의 최대전력점(MPP)을 추적하도록 설계하였다. 제안된 MPPT 제어 방식은 PSIM 프로그램을 이용한 모의실험으로 확인하였으며, 하드웨어제작을 통해 제안된 MPPT제어 방식을 검증하였다.

Renewable Portfolio Standards(RPS) is a regulation that requires a renewable energy generated from eco-friendly energy sources such as biomass, wind, solar, and geothermal. The RPS mechanism generally is an obligatory policy that places on electricity supply companies to produce a designated fraction of their electricity from renewable energies. The domestic companies to supply electricity largely rely on wood pellets in order to implement the RPS in spite of undesirable situation of lack of wood resources in Korea. This means that the electricity supply companies in Korea must explore new biomass as an alternative to wood. Palm kernel shell (PKS) and empty fruit bunch (EFB) as oil palm wastes can be used as raw materials used for making pellets after their thermochemical treatment like torrefaction. Torrefaction is a pretreatment process which serves to improve the properties including heating value and energy densification of these oil palm wastes through a mild pyrolysis at temperature typically ranging between 200 and $300^{\circ}C$ in the absence of oxygen under atmospheric pressure. Torrefaction of oil palms wastes at above $200^{\circ}C$ contributed to the increase of fixed carbon with the decrease of volatile matters, leading to the improvement of their calorific values over 20.9 MJ/kg (=5,000 kcal/kg) up to 25.1 MJ/kg (=6,000 kcal/kg). In particular, EFB sensitively responded to torrefaction because of its physical properties like fiber bundles, compared to PKS and hardwood chips. In conclusion, torrefaction treatment of PKS and EFB can greatly contribute to the implement of RPS of the electricity supply companies in Korea through the increased co-firing biomass with coal.

부유식 라이다는 해상풍력단지 조성 시 필수적인 풍황관측의 새로운 패러다임을 제공하는 시스템이다. 시간과 비용을 절약하고 환경에 미치는 영향을 최소화하며 지역사회의 반발까지 줄일 수 있어 업계의 표준으로 떠오르고 있다. 하지만 부표의 동요에 의한 교란요인이 관측자료의 신뢰도에 영향을 미치므로 안정적인 플랫폼의 설계 및 검증이 매우 중요하다. 국내에서는 이 분야의 기술 진출이 늦어짐에 따라 다수의 외국계 장비업체들이 국내시장을 장악하고 있다. 우리나라 서해안은 조수간만의 차가 매우 큰 천해성 환경이기 때문에 강한 해류가 반복적으로 나타나고, 계절별로 다른 강한 에너지의 파도가 형성된다. 본 논문은 이와 같이 복합적인 환경 특성을 지닌 우리나라 해역에서 라이다 운영에 적합한 부표식에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 가장 먼저 적용된 선박형 부표식의 최적화 설계 및 검증 사례를 소개하고, 향후 다양한 플랫폼 개발의 기반이 될 중요한 개념을 도출하고자 한다.

A Macroscopic combination of two or more distinct materials is commonly referred to as a "Composite Material", having been designed mechanically and chemically superior in function and characteristic than its individual constituent materials. Composite materials are used not only for aerospace and military, but also heavily used in boat/ship building and general composite industries which we are seeing increasingly more. Regardless of the various applications for composite materials, the industry is still limited and requires better fabrication technology and methodology in order to expand and grow. An example of this is that the majority of fabrication facilities nearby still use an antiquated wet lay-up process where fabrication still requires manual hand labor in a 3D environment impeding productivity of composite product design advancement. As an expert in the advanced composites field, I have developed fabrication skills with the use of machinery based on my past composite experience. In autumn 2011, the Korea government confirmed to fund my project. It is the development of a composite sanding machine. I began development of this semi-robotic prototype beginning in 2009. It has possibilities of replacing or augmenting the exhaustive and difficult jobs performed by human hands, such as sanding, grinding, blasting, and polishing in most often, very awkward conditions, and is also will boost productivity, improve surface quality, cut abrasive costs, eliminate vibration injuries, and protect workers from exposure to dust and airborne contamination. Ease of control and operation of the equipment in or outside of the sanding room is a key benefit to end-users. It will prove to be much more economical than normal robotics and minimize errors that commonly occur in factories. The key components and their technologies are a 360 degree rotational shoulder and a wrist that is controlled under PLC controller and joystick manual mode. Development on both of the key modules is complete and are now operational. The Korean government fund boosted my development and I expect to complete full scale development no later than 3rd quarter 2012. Even with the advantages of composite materials, there is still the need to repair or to maintain composite products with a higher level of technology. I have learned many composite repair skills on composite airframe since many composite fabrication skills including repair, requires training for non aerospace applications. The wind energy market is now requiring much larger blades in order to generate more electrical energy for wind farms. One single blade is commonly 50 meters or longer now. When a wind blade becomes damaged from external forces, on-site repair is required on the columns even under strong wind and freezing temperature conditions. In order to correctly obtain polymerization, the repair must be performed on the damaged area within a very limited time. The use of pre-impregnated glass fabric and heating silicone pad and a hot bonder acting precise heating control are surely required.

The facade, an exterior material of a building, is one of the crucial factors that determine its morphological identity and its functional levels, such as energy performance, earthquake and fire resistance. However, regardless of the type of exterior materials, huge property and human casualties are continuing due to frequent exterior materials dropout accidents. The quality of the building envelope depends on the detailed design and is closely related to the back frames that support the exterior material. Detailed design means the creation of a shop drawing, which is the stage of developing the basic design to a level where construction is possible by specifying the exact necessary details. However, due to chronic problems in the construction industry, such as reducing working hours and the lack of design personnel, detailed design is not being appropriately implemented. Considering these characteristics, it is necessary to develop the detailed design process of exterior materials and works based on the domain-expert knowledge of the construction industry using artificial intelligence (AI). Therefore, this study aims to establish a detailed design automation algorithm for AI-based condition-responsive exterior wall panels and their back frames. The scope of the study is limited to "detailed design" performed based on the working drawings during the exterior work process and "stone panels" among exterior materials. First, working-level data on stone works is collected to analyze the existing detailed design process. After that, design parameters are derived by analyzing factors that affect the design of the building's exterior wall and back frames, such as structure, floor height, wind load, lift limit, and transportation elements. The relational expression between the derived parameters is derived, and it is algorithmized to implement a rule-based AI design. These algorithms can be applied to detailed designs based on 3D BIM to automatically calculate quantity and unit price. The next goal is to derive the iterative elements that occur in the process and implement a robotic process automation (RPA)-based system to link the entire "Detailed design-Quality calculation-Order process." This study is significant because it expands the design automation research, which has been rather limited to basic and implemented design, to the detailed design area at the beginning of the construction execution and increases the productivity by using AI. In addition, it can help fundamentally improve the working environment of the construction industry through the development of direct and applicable technologies to practice.

각각의 다른 복합재료를 연결하는 데 주로 에폭시 접착제가 사용되고 있다. 에폭시 접착제 대표적인 열경화성 수지로서 에폭시와 경화제의 경화 반응을 통해 선형구조에서 3차원의 망상 구조로 변하게 되어 접착을 한다. 경화제의 종류에 따라 비율 및 경화 조건 등이 변하며, 이러한 조건에 따라 물성이 달라진다. 접착공정이 대형화 됨에 따라 접착제를 바르고 즉시 접착하지 못하기 때문에, 대기시간동안 습도 및 온도 등 외부환경에 영향을 받아 접착제의 접착력 저하로 이어지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 유리섬유강화 복합재료에 에폭시 접착제를 사용하여 접착하였고, 단일 랩 전단 시험을 통하여 가사시간에 따른 에폭시 접착제의 접착강도를 평가하였다. 가사시간에 따른 접착력 변화를 확인하기 위하여, 복합재료에 에폭시 접착제를 바르고 상온에서 각 시간에 따라 대기한 후 접착하였다. 단일 랩 전단 강도를 통하여 일정시간 이상 가사시간을 오래 둘 수록 접착강도가 감소한다는 것을 확인하였다. 습도조건에 따른 접착력 변화를 확인하기 위하여, 경화습도 조건을 항온항습기로 조절하여 경화 시켰고, 습도조건에 따른 접착 강도를 단일 랩 전단 시험을 통해 접착력을 평가하였다. 적은 양의 수분은 에폭시 접착제의 경화 반응을 가속시켜 접착 강도를 증가시켰으나, 일정 이상의 과도한 수분은 오히려 접착강도를 감소시킴을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the comparative steady-state operating performance analysis algorithms of the stand-alone single-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) is presented on the basis of the two nodal admittance approaches using the per-unit frequency in addition to a new state variable de-fined by the per-unit slip frequency. The main significant features of the proposed operating circuit analysis with the per-unit slip frequency as a state variable are that the fast effective solution could be achieved with the simple mathematical computation effort. The operating performance results in the simulation of the single-phase SEIG evaluated by using the per-unit slip frequency state variable are compared with those obtained by using the per-unit frequency state variable. The comparative operating performance results provide the close agreements between two steady-state analysis performance algorithms based on the electro-mechanical equivalent circuit of the single-phase SEIG. In addition to these, the single-phase static VAR compensator; SVC composed of the thyristor controlled reactor; TCR in parallel with the fixed excitation capacitor; FC and the thyristor switched capacitor; TSC is ap-plied to regulate the generated terminal voltage of the single-phase SEIG loaded by a variable inductive passive load. The fixed gain PI controller is employed to adjust the equivalent variable excitation capacitor capacitance of the single-phase SVC.
