  • We have developed solar observational system in the department of Astronomy & Space Sciences of KyungHee University, in order to monitor solar activities and construct solar database for space weather forecasting at maximum of 23rd solar cycle, as well as an solar education and exercise for undergraduate students. Our solar observational system consists of the full disk monitoring system and the regional observation system for H a fine structure. Full disk monitoring system is made of an energy rejection filter, 16cm refractor, video CCD camera and monitor. Monitored data are recorded to VHS video tape and analog output of video CCD can be captured as digital images by the computer with video graphic card. Another system for regional observation of the sun is made of energy rejection filter, 21cm Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector, H a filter with 1.6A pass band width and $375\times242$ CCD camera. We can observe H a fine structure in active regions of solar disk and solar limb, by using this system. We have carried out intense solar observations for a test of our system. It is found that Quality of our H a image is as good as that of solar images provided by Space Environmental Center. In this paper, we introduce the basic characteristics of the KyungHee Solar Observation System and result of our solar observations. We hope that our data should be used for space weather forecasting with domestic data of RRL(Radio Research Laboratory) and SOFT(SOlar Flare Telescope).

  • The possible air pollution problems in a proposed underground highway are discussed using carbon monoxide (CO) as an indicator. Carbon monoxide concentrations in the underground highway depend on several factors, including the size of tunnel, the number of automobiles, the CO emission rate, and the tunnel ventilation rate. Using the estimated values, CO concentrations in the underground highway can be predicted. Without proper ventilation system, CO concentration in the underground highway can be dangerous level. However, the cost of operating the mandatory mechanical ventilation system may be tremendouslyy high and may be technically unrealistic to implement. If the underground highway is constructed with proper ventilation system, a continuous air pollution monitoring system with alarming function must be installed to alert personnel of serious air pollution built up in the underground highway. Traffic must be restricted, whenever the inside air pollution levels exceed agreed values. Short distances between evacuation exits are necessary for emergency situations or malfunction of ventilation system.

  • Self-healing is one of the techniques that assure dependability of mission-critical system. Self-healing consists of fault detection and fault recovery and fault detection is important first step that enables fault recovery but it causes overhead. We can detect fault based on model, the detection tasks that notify system's behavior and compare normal behavior model and system's behavior are heavy jobs. In this paper, we propose architecture-based multi-level self-adaptive monitoring method that complements model-based fault detection. The priority of fault detection per component is different in the software architecture. Because the seriousness and the frequency of fault per component are different. If the monitor is adapted to intensive to the component that has high priority of monitoring and loose to the component that has low priority of monitoring, the overhead can be decreased and the efficiency can be maintained. Because the environmental changes of software and the architectural changes bring the changes at the priority of fault detection, the monitor learns the changes of fault frequency and that is adapted to intensive to the component that has high priority of fault detection.

  • As a core area of the new computing paradigm, the Ubiquitous Sensor Network Technology utilizes a wireless sensor networking which can be applied to the Context Information Monitoring System. When the technology is used in a poor user-environment for monitoring purposes, it can cost-effectively gather the context data on real-time basis, analyze the information gathered, effectively response to the user situation, and execute orders to create environmental factors desired by the user. This study structures a system able to monitor information in regards to a user-environment based on wireless-node sensor technology coupled with the Ubiquitous Sensor Network Technology. In this paper, the protocol in which it manages the wireless sensor network as the zone based by using the management protocol standardized at the smart home with a profile is proposed. The proposed system requires a minimal collection of data without continuous monitoring. Monitoring periodically, it can sense the user-environment more efficiently than the existing monitoring technologies based on the wire-communication technology.

  • During concrete placement, the formwork structure supports the weight of concrete mass. The complexity of the operation can cause concentrated workloads, which in turn brings about a collapse of the temporary structure. As a countermeasure, the operation needs to be constantly monitored to maintain safety and prevent accidents. This paper presents a USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network)-based safety monitoring system for formwork construction. The system takes advantage of ubiquitous technology in monitoring the behavior of the formwork structure such as deflection, load weight, and tilting. The collected data are sent to the host computer wirelessly for real time monitoring. The data can be then compared with the allowed limits on guidelines. The comparison can indicate whether the concrete placement operation is executed in a safe condition.

  • The consumption of liquefied natural gas (LNG) has increased annually due to the strengthening of international environmental regulations. In order to produce stable and efficient LNG, it is essential to divide the global (overall) operating condition and construct a quick and accurate monitoring system for each operation condition. In this study, multi-mode monitoring system is proposed to the LNG plant fractionation process. First, global normal operation data is divided to local (subdivide) normal operation data using global principal component analysis (PCA) and k-means clustering method. And then, the data to be analyzed were matched with the local normal mode. Finally, it is determined the state of process abnormality through the local PCA. The proposed method is applied to 45 fault case and it proved to be more than 5~10% efficient compared to the global PCA and univariate monitoring.

  • This paper proposes central monitoring system(PVCMS) based on a TCP/IP network for effective integrating management about photovoltaic systems. We don't gain confidence the result of production simulation, because the output of PV system have many various environmental change factor. So if we can obtain real operated data about each sites and system types to use PVCMS, we can define the environment change factor to compare with simulation data. And this paper try to access about total management and data analysis methods of renewable energy through results analysis to synthesize of the operation.

  • In this study, capacitive type pressure sensors based on low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) technology for environmental monitoring were demonstrated. The LTCC is one of promising technology than is based one since it has many advantages (e.g., low cost production, high manufacturing yields and easy realizing 3D structure etc.) for sensor application. Especially, it has good mechanical and chemical properties for robust environmental application. The 3D LTCC diaphragm with thickness of 400 ${\mu}m$ were fabricated by laminating 4 green sheets using commercial powder (NEG, MLS 22C). To evaluate the sensing properties of the different cavity areas, two types of diaphragm which had different cavity areas with 25, 49 $mm^2$ respectively, were fabricated. To realize capacitive type pressure sensor, the Au top electrode was fabricated using thermal evaporator and the bottome electrode was compressed using aluminium foil. The sensing properties of the fabricated sensors showed linear characteristic under different pressure (0~30 psi) using pressure measurement system.

  • Previous long-term measurements of the Uldolmok tidal current power plant showed that the structure's natural frequencies fluctuate with a constant cycle-i.e., twice a day with changes in tidal height and tidal current velocity. This study aims to improve structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques for offshore structures under a harsh tidal environment like the Uldolmok Strait. In this study, lab-scale experiments on a simplified offshore structure as a lab-scale test structure were conducted in a circulating water channel to thoroughly investigate the causes of fluctuation of the natural frequencies and to validate the displacement estimation method using multimetric data fusion. To this end, the numerical study was additionally carried out on the simplified offshore structure with damage scenarios, and the corresponding change in the natural frequency was analyzed to support the experimental results. In conclusion, (1) the damage that occurred at the foundation resulted in a more significant change in natural frequencies compared with the effect of added mass; moreover, the structural system became nonlinear when the damage was severe; (2) the proposed damage index was able to indicate an approximate level of damage and the nonlinearity of the lab-scale test structure; (3) displacement estimation using data fusion was valid compared with the reference displacement using the vision-based method.
