With progress in industrialization, facilities for generating, delivering, and receiving high levels of electric power are in great demand. The scale of electric power equipment is increasing in both size and complexity. This has contributed to the development of our modern, high-tech and information-based society. However, if the generation of electric power is suspended due to unexpected accidents at power facilities or power stations, a range of equipment the operations of which are dependent on electric power can be damaged, causing substantial socioeconomic losses in an industrial society. A great deal of time and money would be expended to repair damaged facilities at a power station, causing enormous economic loss.In order to detect the deterioration processes of power cables, and to prevent the destruction of power cables, the operation status of power cables should be monitored on a regular basis. We have installed equipment at Korea Western Power Co., Ltd., located in Taean, in order to predict and prevent the destruction of power cables. This is an entirely new installation: a set of equipment invented specifically to measure the insulation resistance of power cables. Installation of the equipment does not cause the flow of earth fault current. This ensures accurate measurement of insulation resistance values by the equipment. We have been studying this equipment in order to develop preventive technology that would show the deterioration processes of power cables.

과거 2003년 북미 대 정전 이후 전력기기의 사고 발생 후 얼마나 빨리 사고를 제거하고 피해가 적도록 신속하게 복구하는 개념에서 사고이전에 사고를 미연에 방지하는 예방개념으로 관심이 높아지고 있다. 전력기기를 사고로부터 보호하는 보호기기도 중요하지만 사고이전의 상태를 감시하여 미연에 사고를 방지할 수 있도록 하는 예방진단시스템의 중요성도 높아지고 있다. 이렇듯 관심이 높아짐에 따라 각종 진단알고리즘의 개발이 신속히 이루어지고 있다. 보호기기처럼 어떤 설정된 정정 값 이상의 값이 입력되면 보호동작을 수행하는 단순 동작과는 달리 예방진단 시스템은 입력되는 신호의 패턴을 인식하여 열화/노화 등의 진행상황 및 정비조치에 대한 정보를 만들므로 인공지능적인 요소가 많이 적용되고 있다. 따라서 각종 Fuzzy, Neural Network, Expert 등 각종 판단 알고리즘과 패턴을 인식하는 확률통계, 프랙탈 기하학 등이 적용되고 있다. 모두가 틀리다는 것은 아니지만 보다 정확한 예방진단을 위해 각종 알고리즘이 추가 및 수정이 자주이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 새로운 알고리즘을 적용하기 위해서 기 개발되어 운영 중이거나 설치된 예방진단시스템을 멈추고 전반적으로 수정을 수행하는 것은 감시진단시스템의 본래 모습을 무시하는 행동이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이런 문제를 해결하기 위하여 온라인 상태에서 장비를 감시하는 예방진단 시스템의 알고리즘 변형 시 시스템의 운영이 문제되지 않도록하는 다이나믹 인터페이스를 개발하였다.

In this era, intelligence is considered a major factor in the defense sector. As a result, securing technology for weapons systems for monitoring and reconnaissance of companies has become inevitable. As a result, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) have been developed and are actively operating around the world if the flight operation of manned aircraft is restricted, such as in environments that are too dangerous, messy or boring for the military to perform directly. The system of unmanned aerial vehicles, which has been researched and developed in Korea, includes Air Vehicle Test Equipment(AVTE). AVTE is equipment that is connected to an UAV to check its status and allows the operator to check its flightability by issuing an operational command to the UAV and verifying that it follows the command values. This study conducts fault finding on the phenomenon where the AVTE has stopped operating due to engine noise during these operations and analyzes the cause in terms of software, hardware and external environment. Present improvement measures according to the cause are analyzed and the results of verifying that the proposed measures can prevent failure are addressed.

In this paper, the wastewater treatment plant sludge proposed TN/TP sensor data collected an efficient monitoring system in order to implement status monitoring to build WiFi networks. Also we sludge concentration and TN/TP sensor data were collected from wastewater treatment plant. It is able to be monitored sensor data through smart devices(Smart phones, smart pad, tablet PC, etc.) and pc. In addition, when certain events occur immediately be able to cope by adding features to enable efficient and rapid processing, real-time status can be checked by ensuring improved user access and convenience. We has built a WiFi network for to transfer data efficiently. It proved its effectiveness by analysis of sensor communication network. Therefore, we have verified the usefulness of the proposed technology.

The usual way used by electric power stations to deliver high levels of generated power is via 6.6kV XLPE (or CV) cables. Depending on the manufacturing technique, installation environment, and usage conditions, the deterioration processes of the power cables start from the instant of operation. Cable junctions may break down in three years from the start of operation due to the manufacturing or construction defects. Otherwise they should be in good working order for 20-30 years. When the cable system (the cable itself and cable junctions combined) deteriorates, fire accidents happen due to the dielectric breakdowns. We have invented a device to monitor the deteriorating status of cables at Korean Western Power Co. Ltd. located in Taean, Chungcheongnam-do province. In this paper, we introduce the device hardware. Using the device, we have measured the insulation resistance and humidity in the sheath of the cables. We present, in analysed results, the effect of humidity on insulation resistance in cable sheaths.

The demand for electric power is increasing every year in Korea. All the systems adopted at power stations in order to generate and transmit electric power should operate in perfect condition or reliability. The device for transmitting the generated high-voltage electric power is 6 kV CV single core cables. The manufacturing companies of the cables makes an official announcement that the operating lifetime of their cables is about 30years. But from the moment of operation the deterioration precesses of worsening the characteristics of cables starts. Since the reliability for the status of installed cables in deterioration has not been diagnosed, the cables can be broken at any unexpected moments. In order to prevent the abrupt cable accident by systematically monitoring the cable status, we have invented the first device in Korea. We have installed our device at Korea Western Power Co. Ltd. in order to diagnose the live cables. In this paper, we present our research results of measured temperatures of inner conductor and surface and the compared results of those data with other cable company. We also show that our results agree with those made by other company.

열화상 장비는 빛이 없는 암흑 상태에서도 물체에서 발산하는 적외선을 탐지하여 이를 영상으로 제공하는 장비이다. 이러한 장점으로 기존 활용되던 군사 분야와 더불어 자동차 및 감시시스템 등 다양한 민수 분야로 활용분야가 넓어지고 있다. 따라서 기존 방식인 FPGA 기반 열화상 이미지 모듈은 민수 시장의 다양한 요구사항과 환경을 반영하기에는 힘들 실정이다. 그에 따라 FPGA 기반 시스템의 단점을 보완하고 추가적인 요구사항을 만족하는 시스템의 필요성이 대두되었다. 본 논문에서는 상용 이미지 프로세서 기반 열화상 이미지 처리 모듈을 제안한다. 기존 FPGA 기반 열화상 이미지 처리 방식이 아닌 상용 이미지 프로세서 기반 구조 설계로 함으로써 다양한 영상 입·출력 인터페이스 수신 및 표준 영상 출력 포멧을 지원한다. 따라서 상용 프로세서 기반 열상 처리 모듈을 통한 시스템 개발 시 뛰어난 접근성으로 시스템 구축이 용이하고 다양한 요구사항 적용이 가능함에 따라 개발 기간 및 비용 단축, 다양한 응용에 사용이 가능할 것으로 예상한다.

This paper proposes low price power component measurement and record system for preventing electrical safety accident and supporting accident cause analysis by periodically monitoring and recording the operation status of electrical equipments. The proposed system was designed by mainly using parts to measure accurate power component but reduce cost. Especially, low cost and high effectiveness system implementation was possible by using MAXIM 78M6631 to calculate power components in the definition of IEEE Standard 1459-2010 related power quality. The measurement performance of the developed system is tested by using standard devices such as YOKOGAWA power analyzer WT1600. The test results showed that accuracy of the developed system is less than 0.5 % and the developed system is tested in a real area to verify the operation reliability and remote monitoring performance of the system over 6 months.

The wear process of end mill is a so complicated process that a more reliable technique is required for the monitoring and controling the tool life and its performance. This research presents a new tool wear monitoring method based on the sound signal generated on the machining. The experiment carried out continuous-side-milling for using the high-speed steel end mill under wet condition. The sound pressure was measured at 0.5m from the cutting zone by a dynamic microphone, and was analyzed at frequency domain. The tooth passing frequency appears as a harmonics form, and end mill wear is related with the first harmonic. It can be concluded from the result that the tool wear is correlate with the intensity of the measured sound at tooth passing frequency estimation of end mill wear using sound is possible through frequency analysis at tooth passing frequency under the given circumstances.
