  • Recently, the development for USV-related technologies are actively growing up in military domain. The USV (unmanned surface vehicle) conducts various missions for national defense at maritime environment. For succeed the missions, the USV essentially needs an automatic and remote control platform which includes propulsion system, steering system, control system, power system and so on. In this paper, we developed an integrated control system for the platform equipments and verified effectiveness of the developed system. To do this, we designed a system architecture and implemented a main control system that processes and controls platform equipments by received command. Also we developed components of designed architecture such as engine control device, water-jet control device and power control device. For test and verify the developed system, we designed and made a test-bed of engine and water-jet with related parts, and proceeded a basin test for verifying the developed system based on the test-bed.

  • Blades of wind energy plants are exposed to external shocks or internal cracks during operation. Furthermore, the blade surfaces can be contaminated by substances such as dust, blood of birds, salt or insects which can decrease the electricity generation efficiency significantly. For this reason, many blade cleaning companies started to appear and a variety of methods for cleaning were suggested. Despite these diverse methods, there has been no study to investigate how effectively to clean the substances in quantitative manner. In this paper, the cleaning efficiency of two rotor blade cleaning methods, brush and water-jet, is examined through experiments by changing operating parameters. Then, the optimal operating conditions for both methods are derived.
