최근 경세성장과 함께 생활수준의 향상으로 인하여 에너지 수요는 매년 증가하고 있으며 그 중에서 하나인 전력수요도 역시 급격히 늘어나고 있는 추세이다. 이와 더불어 투자자원 및 입지확보의 어려움, 환경제약의 문제로 전력 공급의 어려움은 날로 증가되고 있다. 따라서 수요증가를 전력공급 능력의 증진뿐만 아니라 수요관리 측면에서도 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 전력선 통신은 전력선을 매체로 하기 때문에 신규선로의 포설 없이 가전기기 및 정보화 서비스 모뎀들의 네트워크화에 용이할 뿐만 아니라 커버리지 확장에도 뛰어나서 디지털 가전, 원격검침, 전력설비 감시제어, 국가 재난 감시 시스템 등의 기본 통신 방식으로 가장 유력한 기술로써 디지털 가전을 포함한 유비쿼터스 전기설비 네트워크 구성에서 필수적 기술로 채택되고 있기 때문에 지능형 홈 네트워크, 전력IT 부가서비스, 설비감시 네트워크, 유비쿼터스 네트워크 관련 기술에 대한 파급 효과가 매우 크며, 디지털 가전의 기본 통신 방식으로 가장 유력한 기술로써 디지털 가전 구성에서 필수적 기술로 채택되고 있기 때문에 지능형 홈 네트워크 관련 기술에 대한 파급 효과가 매우 크다. 본 연구에서는 전력선통신모뎀을 이용하여 가전기기의 전력 소비를 감지할 수 있는 센서를 내장한 전력선 통신기반의 전력 감시 모듈을 개발하여 실시간 원격 모니터링을 통해 소비전력 패턴을 작성한다. 그리고 전력감시 모듈에 연결된 가전기기의 소비전력 패턴 분석을 통해 전력소비 이상 유무를 감지할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발, 탑재하여 이상유무를 판단하고 전력소비가 급증할 시 자동으로 전력을 차단하여 화재나 누전의 위험을 방지한다. 이에 본 연구는 전력선통신을 이용하여 전력소비감시 및 이상전력차단에 관한 연구에 관한 것이다.

This paper presents experimental results for early-age properties of concrete such as the setting time and strength, evaluated via the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV). Developing and using an automatically-recording monitoring system, the UPV's of mortar and concrete with various water to binder ratios (W/B) were measured during the first 24 hours. In addition, probe penetration and compression tests were conducted to measure the setting time and compressive strength, respectively. It was observed that the UPV's of mortar with high W/B remained constant during the first 6.5 hours and then abruptly began to increase at constant rates. On the other hand, the UPV of mortar with low W/B increased relatively slowly and gradually due to the setting retardation caused by the use of high range water reducing agent (HRWR). It was found that setting of concrete occurs when the UPV reaches a certain value. Moreover, it was concluded that the estimation formulas should incorporate the effects of W/B to more accurately estimate the early-age strength of concrete from the UPV.

To ensure the safety for vessels anchored in stormy weather, duty officer and VTS operator have to frequently check whether their anchors are dragging. To judge dragging of the anchored vessel, it is important for VTS operator to recognize the turning circle and its center of the anchored vessel. The judgement for the anchored vessel dragging can be made by using Radar and AIS. If it is available, CCTV or eye-sighting can be used to know the center of turing circle. However, the VTS system collects individual ship's dynamic information from AIS and ARPA radar and monitors of the anchored vessels, it is difficult for VTS operator not only to get the detailed status information of the vessels, but also to know the center of turning circle. In this study, we propose an efficient algorithm to estimate the center of turning circle of anchored vessel by using the ship's heading and position data, which were from AIS. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, the experimental study was made for the anchored vessel under real environments.

Power plant start-up is a complicate process involving hundreds of operations that should be performed either automatically or manually. Several major operations should be proceeded in parallel and each major operation is again broken down into detailed operations that must be carried out in a strict sequence. Even though most of the operations are automated, still substantial portions of the operations are carried out manually and the operational status should be monitored by the crew members, which are quite stressful tasks to be performed in real time. In this paper, a data structure called an Event Sequence Monitoring Graph(ESMG) is proposed for monitoring a sequence of events involved in the power plant start-up process. The ESMG is currently being applied to a thermal power plant with a rated output of 500MW. An application example is shown with the boiler feed water pump system start-up process, which exhibits a good potential for future applications.

The adaptation of smartfarm technology that converges ICT is increasing productivity and competitiveness in the agriculture. Technologies have been developed that enable environmental monitoring through various sensors and automatic control of the cultivation environment, and researches are underway to advance smartfarm technology using data generated from smartfarms. In this paper, an environmental control method to reduce the energy consumption of a smartfarm by using the environment and control data of the smartfarm is proposed. It was confirmed that energy consumption could be reduced compared to an independent environmental control method by creating an environmental prediction model using accumulated environmental data and selecting a control method to minimize energy consumption in a given situation by considering multiple environmental factors. In the future, research is needed to obtain higher energy efficiency through the advancement of the predictive model and the improvement of the complex control algorithms.

When IoT is applied to various research experiment fields such as physics, pharmacy, biology and medicine, it can increase the safety and convenience of researchers by intelligently monitoring and controlling research equipment and environment with various sensors and devices. For accurate and convenient record management and the research history and the basis but also for the reverse tracking, real-time reagent measurement and registration should be provided as a research support automation services. Currently, existing methods of reagent management are operated by computerized method, but reagent registration and management are not automated. And also record is managed manually, there are many hassles and problems such as a record error and too much time required for quantification and registration for many reagents. In this paper, we study a real time reagent measuring and registration method based on IoT to resolve the problems aforementioned, by the information of the reagent acquired by image recognition and NFC method.

Recently, with the development of IoT technology, the number of farms using smart farms is increasing. Smart farms monitor the environment and optimise internal environment automatically to improve crop yield and quality. For optimized crop cultivation, researches on predict crop productivity are actively studied, by using collected agricultural digital data. However, most of the existing studies are based on statistical models based on existing statistical data, and thus there is a problem with low prediction accuracy. In this paper, we use various predition models for predicting the production and sales profits, and compare the performance results through models by using the agricultural digital data collected in the facility horticultural smart farm. The models that compared the performance are multiple linear regression, support vector machine, artificial neural network, recurrent neural network, LSTM, and ConvLSTM. As a result of performance comparison, ConvLSTM showed the best performance in R2 value and RMSE value.

Smart farms are steadily increasing in research to minimize labor, energy, and quantity put into crops as IoT technology and artificial intelligence technology are combined. However, research on efficiently managing crop growth information in smart farms has been insufficient to date. In this paper, we propose a management technique that can efficiently monitor crop growth information by applying autonomous sensors to smart farms. The proposed technique focuses on collecting crop growth information through autonomous sensors and then recycling the growth information to crop cultivation. In particular, the proposed technique allocates crop growth information to one slot and then weights each crop to perform load balancing, minimizing interference between crop growth information. In addition, when processing crop growth information in four stages (sensing detection stage, sensing transmission stage, application processing stage, data management stage, etc.), the proposed technique computerizes important crop management points in real time, so an immediate warning system works outside of the management criteria. As a result of the performance evaluation, the accuracy of the autonomous sensor was improved by 22.9% on average compared to the existing technique, and the efficiency was improved by 16.4% on average compared to the existing technique.

To improve the crossflow untrafiltration flux, we applied periodic oscillations in transmembrane pressure gradient in order to promote fluid turbulence by inducing repeated compression and relaxation of the cake/gel layer. The oscillatory forms used were square-, sine-, triangle-wave, and pumping interruption. The permeate flux profiles were mathematically simulated and compared with the experimental data. The result showed the periodic pumping interruption most effectively improved the overall flux by up to about 32%. Enough pumping off-time, at least on the order of tens of seconds, was needed to allow the solutes in the layer to diffuse back to the bulk phase. It was better to start the oscillations earlier before the layer was fully established. The square-wave oscillation yielded about 11% increase, which was particularly pronounced in the later part of the filtration. Either the amplitude or the period of the oscillations resulted little influence on flux.actate ester, and lactate ester produced in esterification reaction was distilled simultaneously with hydrolysis reaction into lactic acid. When the yields of lactic acid recovered by batch reactive distillations with various alcohols were compared, the yield of lactic acid was increased as the volatility of lactate ester was increased. In this batch reactive distillation, because the mixtures condensed in partial condensor were flown to reboiler through distillation column, the recovery yield of lactic acid was affected by operation temperature of partial condensor. Hydrolysis reaction into lactic acid in distillation column rarelyoccurred because of short retention time of lactate ester and water. Lactate ester was reacted into lactic acid in reboiler.
