Solar energy is one of the most abundant renewable energy sources on Earth but there are restrictions on the use of solar thermal energy due to the time-discrepancy between the solar-rich season and heating demand. In Europe and Canada, a seasonal solar thermal energy storage (SSTES), which stores the abundant solar heat in the summer and uses the heat for the winter heating load, is used. Recently, SSTES has been introduced in Korea and empirical studies are actively underway. In this study, a $2,000m^2$ flat plate type solar collector and $20,000m^2$ of borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) were studied for a greenhouse in Hwaseong City, which has a heating load of 2,164 GJ/year. To predict the dynamic performance of the system over time, it was simulated using the TRNSYS 18 program, and the solar fraction of the system with the control conditions was investigated. As a result, the solar BTES system proposed in this study showed an average solar fraction of approximately 60% for 5 years when differential temperature control was applied to both collecting solar thermal energy and discharging BTES. The proposed system simplified the configuration and control method of the solar BTES system and secured its performance.

In greenhouse vegetable, the automatic control in cultivating environment has been projected as a national business ; especially a countermeasure against the settlement of UR negotiation. Because it makes possible to manage a large greenhouse with family-hands and to expect the betterment of quality and the increasement of harvest in crops. In the course of carrying the workout, however, there are many problems with the overall control system with computers as well as the individual systems for environment control because of hardware and software problems : especially the shortage of data for development of the system is most serious. Among the many problems for development of the automatic control system, the automations of irrigation, liquefied fertilizer and chemical solution, mixing and ventilation, etc and the development of the general automatic controller system for environment control in greenhouse are studied, which requires a lot of tabors. The results are summarized as follows ; 1. In moisture control by the soil moisture meter, the error was shown 10 % in the beginning irrigation point and 19 % in the stop irrigation point. 2. The supply of liquefied fertilizers with the irrigation system was excellent by setting the operating time and the mixing ratio. 3. The developed chemical spraying system was operated well, but not perfect in nozzle positions. 4. The cucumber was cultivated properly with the trickle irrigation system. 5. The developed controller for the automatic control system in greenhouse was remarkable in the part of hardware, but more researches are needed in the part of software.

In the Paris Climate Agreement, Korea submitted an ambitious goal of reducing the greenhouse gas emission forecast (BAU) by 37% by 2030. And as one of the countermeasures, a smart grid, an intelligent power grid, was presented. In order to apply the smart grid, EMS(Energy Management System) needs to be installed and operated in various fields, and the supply is delayed due to the lack of awareness of users and the limitations of system ROI. Therefore, recently, various data analysis and control technologies have been proposed to increase the efficiency of the installed EMS. In this study, we present a measurement control algorithm that analyzes and predicts big data collected by IoT using a SARIMA model to check and operate energy consumption of public sports facilities.

우리나라에서의 대마는 마약류로 분류되어 기호용과 의료용 모두 법적인 제재를 받아왔으나 최근에 의료용 대마가 법적으로 허용이 되어 환자들에게 처방 받을 수 있게 되었다. 하지만 우리나라 사람들에게 대마는 환각성분을 가진 마약류로 깊이 인식되어 왔으며 의료용 대마에 대한 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 노지재배에서 발생할 수 있는 범죄의 위험성, 자연교배에 의한 품질저하를 피할 수 있으며 재배조건(양액, 광조건, 광주기, 대기환경조성) 등을 제어할 수 있는 밀폐형 LED 식물공장은 의료용 대마 생산에 제일 적합한 모델이 될 수 있다. 식물체의 광합성은 가시광선 중 특정 파장 450nm 청색광과 660nm 적생광을 주로 이용하며 'LED (Light Emitting Diode) 발광다이오드'는 식물체의 광합성에 적합한 파장으로 광원을 조사할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이러한 LED를 이용한 광합성은 식물체의 2차 대사물질 Anthocyanins, phenolic compounds 등의 향상과 생육에도 긍정적인 영향을 미치며 식물 뿐만 아니라 광합성을 하는 미세조류(micro algae)에서도 이용이 가능하며 해마토 코쿠스(Hematococcus)의 세포증식과 항산화물질 아스타잔틴(astaxathin)생산에 유용하게 쓰이고 있다. 최근 미국과 다른 나라에서도 기호용, 의료용 대마사업에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며 캐나다와 미국에서는 밀폐형 유리온실과 식물공장을 이용한 의료용 대마를 생산, 추출, 가공까지 하여 산업적인 영역을 넓히고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 실내재배에서는 광원이 필수적인 요소이며 식물생육에 선택적인 파장을 조사할 수 있는 LED와 재배조건을 정밀하게 제어할 수 있는 밀폐형 식물공장을 이용한 의료용 대마 생산에 대한 연구가 절실히 필요한 시점이다.

Due to the nature of the ambient air temperature in summer in korea, the growth of crops in greenhouse normally requires cooling and dehumidification. Even though various cooling and dehumidification methods have been presented, there are many obstacles to figure out in practical application such as excessive energy use, cost, and performance. To overcome this problem, the lab scale experiments using lithium bromide(LiBr) solution and cooling coil for dehumidification and cooling in greenhouses were performed. In this study, preliminary experiment of dehumidification and cooling for the greenhouse was done using LiBr solution as the dehumidifying materials, and cooling coil separately and then combined system was tested as well. Hot and humid air was dehumidified from 85% to 70% by passing through a pad soaked with LiBr, and cooled from 308K to 299K through the cooling coil. computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) analysis and analytical solution were done for the change of air temperature by heat transfer. Simulation results showed that the final air temperature was calculated 299.7K and 299.9K respectively with the deviation of 0.7K comparing the experimental value having good agreement. From this result, LiBr solution with cooling coil system could be applicable in the greenhouse.

There is systematic spatial variations in environmental properties due to sensitive reaction to external conditions at plastic greenhouse occupied 99.2% of domestic agricultural facilities. In order to construct 3 dimensional distribution of temperature, relative humidity, CO₂ and illuminance, measurement matrix as 3 by 3 by 5 in direction of width, height and length, respectively, dividing indoor space of greenhouse was designed and tested at experimental site. Linear regression analysis was conducted to evaluate optimal estimation method in terms with horizontal and vertical variations. Even though sole measurement point for temperature and relative humidity could be feasible to assess indoor condition, multiple measurement matrix is inevitably required to improve spatial precision at certain time domain such as period of sunrise and sunset. In case with CO₂, multiple measurement matrix could not successfully improve the spatial predictability during a whole experimental period. In case with illuminance, prediction performance was getting smaller after a time period of sunrise due to systematic interference such as indoor structure. Thus, multiple sensing methodology was proposed in direction of length at higher height than growing bed, which could compensate estimation error in spatial domain. Appropriate measurement matrix could be constructed considering the transition of stability in indoor environmental properties due to external variations. As a result, optimal measurement matrix should be carefully designed considering flexibility of construction relevant with the type of property, indoor structure, the purpose of crop and the period of growth. For an instance, partial cooling and heating system to save a consumption of energy supplement could be successfully accomplished by the deployment of multiple measurement matrix.

최근 애플망고 스마트 농가에 에너지 사용량이 증가됨에 따라 에너지 절감을 위한 대책들과 화석연료를 대체하는 다양한 신재생에너지 도입에 대한 요구들이 늘고있다. 본 연구에서는 애플망고 스마트 농가에 여러 에너지원들을 혼합하여 사용할 수 있도록 실증시험 모델을 구축하고 운영함으로써 그 효용성을 검토하고자 하였다. 우선 애플망고 특성을 고려한 비닐온실의 최대 냉난방부하량과 에너지모델을 분석하여 신재생 에너지원들의 혼합 및 기존 공조설비와의 연계를 계산하였다. 애플망고 시험 농지로는 재배에 적합한 제주도 서귀포를 선정하였으며, 기존의 경유 난방기를 사용하는 비교시험 하우스, 기존의 경유와 태양광, 지하 공기 히트펌프 난방기를 혼합하여 사용하는 실증시험 하우스, 경유와 지하공기 히트펌프 난방기를 사용하는 대조시험 하우스를 10~11월 두 달간 운영하여 그 결과들을 평가하였다. 온실 내외부에 온도, 습도, CO2를 측정할 수 있는 6점의 센서부들을 설치하였고, 적산 전력계와 유량계를 설치하여 데이터를 수집하였으며, 모든 시험 데이터는 모바일 원격으로 제어 및 모니터링이 가능하도록 구성하였다. 시험 결과, 각 하우스들에서 수확한 과실의 수량과 품질은 유사하게 평가되었지만, 실증시험 하우스의 난방비가 비교시험 하우스보다 절감되었다. 하지만 실증시험 하우스의 경우 높은 시설유지비로 인해 이를 고려한 사용료는 비교시험 하우스보다 더 비싸게 평가되었다. 본 연구를 통해 생산된 잉여전력을 매전할 때 이로 인한 이용비는 비교시험 하우스보다 더 경제적임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 기존의 경유와 지하공기 히트펌프 난방기를 혼합한 대조시험 하우스의 난방비용이 경제성에서 더 유리함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 애플망고 스마트 농가에 적합한 에너지-믹스 모델을 구축할 수 있었으며, 다양한 신재생에너지들의 효용성들을 검토할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we proposed a Proactive Application Service Engine (PASE) supporting tailor-made distributed application services based on the Distributed Object Group Framework (DOGF) efficiently managing distributed objects, in the viewpoint of distributed application, composed application on network. The PASE consists of 3 layers which are the physical layer, the middleware layer, and the application layer. With the supporting services of the PASE, the grouping service manages the data gathered from H/W devices and the object's properties for application by user's request as a group. And the security service manages the access of gathered data and the object according to user's right. The data filtering service executes the filtering function to provide application with gathered data. The statistics service analysis past data. The diagnostic service diagnoses a present condition by using the gathered data. And the prediction service predicts a future's status based on the statistics service and the diagnostic service. For verifying the executability of the PASE's services, we applied to a greenhouse automatic control application in ubiquitous agriculture field.

Recently, the agricultural environment in Korea is rapidly changing due to the aging and decline of the agricultural population, and in order to solve these problems, it is urgently required to improve the agricultural productivity and reduce the labor force. To solve this problem, a smart farm fused with ICT technology is being proposed as an alternative. In Korea, smart farms are currently mainly used in greenhouses. In this paper, this smart farm technology is to be applied to the cultivation of sprouted ginseng. To this end, we use seedlings (about 1.0g) to grow a solid medium and bed for cultivating sprouted ginseng, a fresh ginseng that is produced in a short period of time (2~3 months) with a clean environment management technology that does not use chemical pesticides and hydroponics in a greenhouse developed. In addition, an IoT-based growth environment management system was developed to monitor the growth process of sprouted ginseng in such an environment and to control driving devices.
