유리섬유강화 복합재료 (GFRC)의 표면거칠기에 따른 에폭시 접착제의 접착강도를 평가하였고 최적의 표면거칠기를 선정하였다. 서로 다른 입자크기의 알루미나 (Al2O3) 입자를 GFRC의 표면에 분사하였고 이를 통하여 서로 다른 표면거칠기를 부여하였다. 표면거칠기를 정량화 하였고 표면거칠기에 따른 표면관찰을 진행하였다. 각 표면거칠기에 따른 접촉각을 측정하였고 이를 통하여 표면에너지를 계산하였으며, 에폭시 접착제와의 접착일을 계산 및 비교하여 접착력을 예측하였다. 단일랩전단 시험을 통해 접착강도를 평가하였고 거칠기에 따라 접착강도가 증가된다는 것을 확인하였다. 박리 후 표면을 관찰해 보았을 때 기지재인 GFRC의 박리 정도가 다른 것을 확인하였고 최종적으로 표면거칠기의 최적조건을 확인할 수 있었다.

The aim of this study was to optimize the target, moderator, and collimator (TMC) in a neutron beam generator for the accelerator-based BNCT (A-BNCT) system. The optimization employed the Monte Carlo Neutron and Photon (MCNP) simulation. The optimal geometry for the target was decided as the one with the highest neutron flux among nominates, which were called as angled, rib, and tube in this study. The moderator was optimized in terms of consisting material to produce appropriate neutron energy distribution for the treatment. The optimization of the collimator, which wrapped around the target, was carried out by deciding the material to effectively prevent the leakage radiations. As results, characteristic of the neutron beam from the optimized TMC was compared to the recommendation by the International Atomic Energy Agent (IAEA). The tube type target showed the highest neutron flux among nominates. The optimal material for the moderator and collimator were combination of Fluental (Al₂0₃+AlF₃) with ⁶⁰Ni filter and lead, respectively. The optimized TMC satisfied the IAEA recommendations such as the minimum production rate of epithermal neutrons from thermal neutrons: that was 2.5 times higher. The results can be used as source terms for shielding designs of treatment rooms.

Hydrogen emphasis on safety management due to its high potential for accidents from wide explosive limits and low ignition energy. To prevent accidents, appropriate explosion-proof electrical equipment with installed to safe management of ignition sources. However, designing all facilities with explosion-proof structures can significantly increase costs and impose limitations. In this study, we optimize the barrier to effectively control the initial momentum in case of hydrogen release and form the control room as a non-hazardous area. We employed response surface method (RSM), the barrier distance, width and height of the barrier were set as variables. The Box-Behnken design method the selection of 15 cases, and FLACS assessed the presence of hazardous area. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) analysis resulting in an optimized barrier area. Through this methodology, the workplace can optimize the barrier according to the actual workplace conditions and classify reasonable hazardous area, which is believed to secure safety in hydrogen facilities and minimize economic burden.

최근, 지구온난화 등의 문제로 인해 새로운 에너지 기술의 개발이 화제가 되고 있다. 중규모 이상의 출력을 얻도록 최적화된 태양광 및 태양열, 풍력 발전과 같은 신재생에너지 기술과 다르게 에너지 하베스팅기술은 출력전력이 매우 작아 크게 주목받지 못하고 있다. 하지만 최근 모바일 산업이 활성화 되면서 에너지 하베스팅기술의 활용가치가 재평가 받고 있다. 또한, 최대전력점 추적방식기술 역시 활발히 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일정한 저항부하를 위한 열전모듈의 새로운 최대전력점추적 제어방식을 제안한다. 열전 모듈(이하 TEM: Thermoelectric Module)의 V-I곡선특성과 내부저항을 분석하고. 기존의 MPPT제어방식을 비교하였다. P&O(Perturbation and Observation)제어방식은 전압, 전류를 측정하기위한 센서 2개를 사용해야하기 때문에 CV제어방식보다 경제성이 떨어지지만 보다 정확히 MPP를 찾는다는 장점을 가진다. CV(Constant Voltage)제어방식은 전압센서 1개만 사용하기 때문에 경제적인 측면에서는 P&O제어방식보다 뛰어나지만, MPP가 정확히 못하다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 두 제어방식의 장점만을 가지고 TEM의 최대전력점(MPP)을 추적하도록 설계하였다. 제안된 MPPT 제어 방식은 PSIM 프로그램을 이용한 모의실험으로 확인하였으며, 하드웨어제작을 통해 제안된 MPPT제어 방식을 검증하였다.

본 논문은 사용자의 장애 환경에 맞추어 장애 환경설정을 이용함으로서 조명 이용의 편의성을 향상시키고 에너지 절약을 위한 지능형 조명시스템에 관한 연구이다. 장애 환경은 조명의 점등이 원활하지 않은 상태를 의미하는 것으로서 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 원격제어 방식이 요구된다. 원격제어 방식은 스마트폰, 움직임 센서, 타이머를 이용하여 조명을 점등 한다. 스마트폰과 움직임 센서는 이벤트를 감지하였을 때 원격에서 조명 시스템으로 이벤트 발생을 전송하고 이벤트를 수신한 조명 시스템은 램프를 전등한다. 조명 사용자의 설정 환경에 맞추어 조명을 제어함으로서 사용시간을 조절하고 점등 조작을 감소하여 에너지 절약을 실현한다. 제안 기법을 적용하여 조명시스템을 설계 및 구현하여 실험 결과 편의성이 향상 되었고 최적화된 점등으로 약 13.5w/h 정도 에너지가 절감된다.

A variable-flow-rate balancing valve has been developed and optimized to apply to a distributor in a hot-water heating system. Fluid dynamic performance of the system was evaluated by comparing the results with the previous pressure difference control valve (PDCV) system. In view of the variations of pressure drop and flow rate according to the sequential closing of the control valves, the present system which is named "smart system distributor", is very stable without a certain flow rate concentration. The level of pressure drop variation is also low as compared with the previous system with a PDCV. In view of the occurrence of cavitation, the present system is quite superior to the previous system because the instantaneous pressures at all sections are much higher than the vapor pressure. On the other hand, the previous system has a possibility of cavitation when one or more control valves are closed.

This study proposes a comprehensive mathematical model that includes coil-system circuit and loss models for power converters in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. The proposed model helps in understanding the performance of WPT systems in terms of coil-to-coil efficiency, overall efficiency, and output power capacity and facilitates system performance optimization. Three methods to achieve constant output power for variable-load systems are presented based on system performance analysis. An optimal method can be selected for a specific WPT system by comparing the efficiencies of the three methods calculated with the proposed model. A two-coil 1 kW WPT system is built to verify the proposed mathematical model and constant output power control methods. Experimental results show that when the load resistance varies between 5 and $25{\Omega}$, the system output power can be maintained at 1 kW with a maximum error of 6.75% and an average error of 4%. Coil-to-coil and overall efficiencies can be maintained at above 90% and 85%, respectively, with the selected optimal control method.

The number of abnormal operation procedures (AOPs) for mitigating a plant abnormal status amounts to about one hundreds for the most of 1000MWe optimized power plant (OPR1000) and it is expected that the number of AOPs would be increased to cope with an abnormal status occurred newly. However, it is not well organized for operators to select a proper AOP from alarms occurred in main control room (MCR) during a plant abnormal status. It may be a burden to operators since the selection of AOP to respond an abnormal status is authorized by operators. When multiple alarms occur in MCR, it would take more time to respond them than a single alarm. To reduce the efforts, various MCR operation support systems have been developed. The purpose of this study was to develop a multi-alarm pattern card to select an appropriate AOP effectively when multiple alarms occurs in a single upper layout (UL) of MCR. It can be applied for an operation support tool as well as an education tool.

Purpose: In this study, we examined outdoor air fraction using historical data of actual Air Handling Unit (AHU) in the existing building during intermediate season and analyzed optimal outdoor air fraction by control types for economizer. Method: Control types for economizer which was used in analysis are No Economizer(NE), Differential Dry-bulb Temperature(DT), Diffrential Enthalpy(DE), Differential Dry-bulb Temperature+Differential Enthalpy(DTDE), and Differential Enthalpy+Differential Dry-bulb Temperature (DEDT). In addition, the system heating and cooling load were analyzed by calculating the outdoor air fraction through existing AHU operating method and control types for economizer. Result: Optimized outdoor air fraction through control types was the lowest in March and distribution over 50% was shown in May. In case of DE control type, outdoor air fraction was the highest of other control types and the value was average 63% in May. System heating load was shown the lowest value in NE, however, system cooling load was shown 1.7 times higher than DT control type and 5 times higher than DE control type. For system heating load, DT and DTDE is similar during intermediate season. However, system cooling load was shown 3 times higher than DE and DEDT. Accordingly, it was found as the method to save cooling energy most efficiently with DE control considering enthalpy of outdoor air and return air in intermediate season.
