전기비저항탐사는 제방 등의 수리시설물 안전 관리를 위해 널리 사용되는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 서해안에 위치한 제방에서 해수측 조석 변화가 전기비저항 모니터링 자료의 해석에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 분석하고자 하였다. 이러한 연구를 위해 조석 변화가 많이 발생하는 제방에서 3일 동안 3시간 간격으로 전기비저항 변화를 모니터링 하였다. 전기비저항 모니터링 자료는 시간에 따라 특정 구간에서 비저항 분포 변화를 나타냈으며, 이러한 결과는 조석 변화와 상관성이 있는 것으로 파악하였다. 따라서 조석 변화가 큰 제방에서의 전기비저항 탐사는 이에 따른 고려를 필히 해줘야 한다. 향후 연구를 위해 보다 장기간에 걸친 전기비저항 모니터링 및 조석 변화의 분석이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문에서는 가스안전에 적합한 무선 ZigBee통신모듈과 스마트 홈 가스안전기기 및 관리시스템 개발하여 가스안전관리의 효율을 향상시키는 시스템과 시나리오를 제안하였다. 제안한 시스템은 마이컴가스미터, 자동식소화기, 감지기 및 월패드로 구성된다. 마이컴미터는 가스압력, 가스유량, 지진을 모니터링한다. 자동식소화기는 가연성 가스의 누출상태, $100^{\circ}C$(차단)와 $139^{\circ}C$(화재)의 온도를 측정하며, 감지기는 연기와 일산화탄소(CO)를 검지한다. 제안한 시스템에서 가스사용중 이상상태발생시 마이컴가스미터는 경보와 함께 내부밸브를 차단시키고, 자동식소화기는 중간가스밸브를 차단하거나 소화약재를 분사시킨다. 감지기는 연기와 CO를 감지할 경우 각각 신호를 발생시켜 후속조치를 취하게 한다. 가스안전기기와 센서들은 자동적으로 조치를 취하고 그 정보를 월패드로 전달한다. 월패드는 실시간 상황정보를 서버에게 전달하고 사용자는 웹이나 모바일 앱을 통하여 서버에 접속하여 가스의 상황정보를 확인하거나 관리할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 스마트기반 가스안전 및 위험관리의 시나리오를 고안하고 현장적용시험을 통하여 그 효율성을 증명하였다.

When an event is occurred in a nuclear power plant (NPP), the NPP operator reports it referred by the regulation on reporting and public announcement of accidents and incidents. Some of the events do not need to be reported because they are not included in the reporting criteria of the regulation. However, it is necessary that they should be managed effectively because the accident can be occurred by the recurrence of a lot of them as precursors. Among the events not included in the reporting criteria of the regulation, near miss is the event that is not occurred but can generate a significant consequence. This can provide the cause of the event which does not result an accident. So, it is able to offer insightful knowledges to prevent higher level events about the function and process of NPP. The objective of this study is to analyze the issues of near miss events, prepare the defence against the risk, and improve the management process of NPP. To achieve it, this study performed to analyze the management structure and status of near miss events as well as the accident reporting system of the domestic and foreign regulation bodies. In case of Korea, the status was analyzed by quantitative data, licensee event reports and procedures. Based on these, we could find the causes that near miss events were not managed effectively. Then, systematic alternatives that reflected the perspective of man, technology and organization were drawn.

In the inspection of workplace hazards/risk factors by specialized institutions dedicated to safety management, inspection reports vary based on the inspectors, who lack the authority to enforce improvement of workplace hazards/risk factors. Thus, improvement and accident rates remain steady without decreasing. This study performed a regression analysis on the relationship between improvement and accident rates of categorized inspection items by classifying hazards/risk factors from inspection reports submitted by a specialized safety management institution in Chungbuk after inspecting 10 food and beverage manufacturers over the past three years. The hazards/risk factors were classified into five categories: mechanical, electrical, chemical, human, and environmental. The regression analysis revealed that the improvement rate of hazards/risk factors inspected by the specialized safety management institution influenced accident rates. To enhance improvement rates based on these findings, this study prioritized the correction of the five most frequently cited inspection items with the lowest improvement rates in each area. Based on these inspection items, this study suggested a checklist for use in workplace safety inspections of food manufacturers. This proposed checklist is expected to reduce accident rates in food manufacturing facilities. Currently, guidance and inspection of workplaces are mainly focused on accident rates rather than correcting hazards/risks. Thus, accident rates remain unchanged as workplace risks are inadequately improved according to the unique characteristics of each workplace. When conducting workplace guidance and inspection, policy measures and inspection methods are warranted to increase the improvement rate of hazards/risks.

In this paper, as there are many cases of fires occurring due to the failure or inoperability of the thermostat of electronic products, the purpose is to test and analyze the risks and probabilities through fire cases and reproduction experiments, and suggest countermeasures. Among electronic products, water purifiers are composed of a refrigerant system with a compressor to make cold water, a heating device to make hot water, and an electric device used as an energy source. Due to the nature of the water purifier manufacturing, these devices are subject to a lot of moisture and dust. etc. exist in large quantities and use electrical energy, so there is a possibility of fire due to short circuit in the wire, electrical abnormal overheating (tracking phenomenon) in the thermostat, electronic board, starting relay, etc., and overheating of the heating device (Band Heater). there is. Therefore, in order to prevent fires from these devices, a system to remove foreign substances inside the water purifier is necessary, the use of heat-resistant (fire-resistant) wires for electrical devices is essential, and the use of non-combustible materials (semi-combustible materials) for each part is necessary to prevent fire. The risk must be eliminated through prevention and combustion expansion prevention devices.

Lithium-ion batteries used for IT, automobiles, and industrial energy-storage devices have battery management systems (BMS) to protect the battery from abnormal voltage, current, and temperature environments, as well as safety devices like, current interruption device (CID), fuse, and vent to obtain positive temperature coefficient (PTC). Nonetheless, there are harmful to human health and property and damage the brand image of the manufacturer because of smoke, fire, and explosion of lithium battery packs. In this paper, we propose a systematic protection algorithm combining battery temperature, over-current, and interconnection between protection elements to prevent copper deposition, internal short circuit, and separator shrinkage due to frequent and instantaneous over-current discharges. The parameters of the proposed algorithm are suggested to utilize the experimental data in consideration of battery pack operating conditions and malicious conditions.

This paper proposes a new concept of IDSP(Intelligent Digital Switchgear Panel) which can solve the problem of the safety, the reliability and the convenience to correspond to the requirement of the general electric customer or electric power company under the ubiquitous-based home automation environments. By analyzing their requirement functions, a 32-bit micro processor is adopted as main controller to support the designed functions efficiently. The DSP-based single phase power management device is utilized to collect the electric power information and the ethernet convertor to communicate through internet among the IDSPs and the remote computer system. In the proposed IDSP, the several functions are implemented such as the earth leakage level display and waveform transmission, the electric fee display, the voltage management, the load management and the load control function. Finally, the prototype of the IDSP is made experimently based on the designed results, and then the effectiveness is verified by testing its basic functions.

The Korean railway standards (KRS), formerly managed by Korea Railroad (Korail), have been managed by the Korean Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs (ML TM). According to Korean railway safety law and its ordinances, which were established for the guarantee of railway safety, the management of KRS including enactment and revision of technical standards for railway vehicle and components, was committed to Korea Railroad Research Institute (KRRI). Currently, a total of 195 standards has been managed from the various railway applications including track, electrical, and vehicle areas. Moreover, according to the guideline on the management of KRS, the conformity of KRS with international standards is encouraged for the enlargement of international trade. In this investigation, a brief management activity of KRS and the recent activities on conformity of KRS with AAR standards on automatic coupler will be introduced.
