Abstract

This paper proposes a method for detecting faults in conveyor systems used for transportation of raw materials needed in the thermal power plant and cement industries. A small drone was designed in consideration of the difficulty in accessing the industrial site and the need to use it in wide industrial site. In order to apply the system to the embedded microprocessor, hardware and algorithms considering limited memory and execution time have been proposed. At this time, the failure determination method measures the peak frequency through the measurement, detects the continuity of the high frequency, and performs the failure diagnosis with the high frequency components of noise. The proposed system consists of experimental environment based on the data obtained from the actual thermal power plant, and it is confirmed that the proposed system is useful by conducting virtual environment experiments with the drone designed system. In the future, further research is needed to improve the drone's flight stability and to improve discrimination performance by using more intelligent methods of fault frequency.

본 논문은 화력 발전소 및 시멘트 산업에서 필요한 원자재의 운송 수단에 사용되는 컨베이어 시스템에서의 고장을 검출하는 방법을 제안하였다. 산업현장에서 사람이 접근하기가 힘들고 넓은 공간에 시스템이 동작 하는 점을 고려하여 소형 드론을 설계하였고 컨베이어의 이상을 감지하기 위하여 컨베이어에 내장된 모터의 이상 소음을 감지하는 방법을 임베디드 환경으로 설계하여 드론에 장착하는 구조로 제안하였다. 시스템을 임베디드 마이크로프로세서에 적용하기 위하여 제한된 메모리와 수행 시간을 고려한 하드웨어 및 알고리즘을 제안하였으며 주파수 분석을 통해 고장의 경향을 파악하여 알고리즘 화 하였다. 이때 고장 판별 방식은 측정을 통하여 피크주파수를 측정하고 고주파수의 연속성을 감지하는 방식으로 고장에 의한 소음의 높은 주파수를 분석하여 고장진단을 시행할 수 있었다. 제안된 시스템은 실제 화력 발전소에서 취득한 데이터를 바탕으로 실험 환경을 구성하였으며 드론에 설계된 시스템을 탑재하여 가상 환경 실험을 하여 제안된 시스템의 유용성을 확인하였다. 향후에는 드론의 비행 안정성 향상과 고장 주파수에 대한 좀 더 정밀한 방법을 사용하여 판별성능을 향상 시키는 연구가 요구된다.
