This paper describes the operation analysis results of a communication-based DC micro-grid using a hardware simulator developed in the lab. The developed hardware simulator is composed of distributed generation devices such as wind power, photovoltaic power and fuel cells, and energy storage devices such as super-capacitors and batteries. Whole system monitoring and control was implemented using a personal computer. The power management scheme was implemented in a main controller based on a TMS320F28335 chip. The main controller is connected with the local controller in each of the distributed generator and energy storage devices through the communication link based on a CAN or an IEC61850. The operation analysis results using the developed hardware simulator confirm the ability of the DC micro-grid to supply the electric power to end users.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged to be one of the cleanest energy systems. Therefore, many large scale solar parks and PV farms have been built to prepare for the post fossil fuel ages. However, due to their large scale, to efficiently manage and operate PV systems, they need to be visually monitored within the range of infrared ray through the Internet. To satisfy this need, the efficient implementation of a high performance video compression standard is required. This paper therefore presents an implementation of H.264 motion estimation, which is one of the most data-intensive and complicated functions in H.264. To achieve this, this work implements vector instructions in hardware and incorporates them in a generic RISC processor architecture, thus increasing the processing speed while minimizing hardware and software design efforts. Extensive simulation results show that this proposed implementation can process motion estimations up to 13 times faster.

Because the existing control system has been operating for about 20 years, it is necessary to upgrade the system for stable and efficient operation. But, there is a difficulty in maintenance by difference of manufacturer of each main control systems for boiler, turbine and generator. This developed IMCS(Integrated Monitoring and Control System) consists of more than 10,000 inputs and outputs for large scale thermal power plant. This paper consists of the development journey of IMCS MBC(mill and burner control) ; core binary protection & monitoring logic including prevention circuit of boiler explosion & implosion. In this project, the IMCS for boiler, turbine and generator was developed on basis of one communications platform. In this paper, the whole journey of development of IMCS MBC is dealt with designing software and hardware, coding application software, and validating software and hardware.

디지털방송(Digital Broadcasting)에서는 최대 100여개 정도의 오디오 또는 음악방송을 다중화하여 전송에 적합한 MPEG-2 TS(Transport Stream) 형태로 만들어서 1개 채널로 전송하는 것이 가능하다. 이렇게 다중화 된 많은 음악방송이 정상적으로 전송되고 있는지 확인하기 위해서는 실시간 모니터 링이 가능한 다중 오디오 모니터링 시스템이 필요하다. 아날로그방송에서는 모니터링 할 음악 방송수가 많지 않기 때문에 하드웨어 기반의 오디오 모니터링 시스템을 구현하여 사용하였다. 그러나 하드웨어 기반의 모니터링 시스템을 디지털 음악방송 환경에 적용하는 것은 비용 및 기능 효율성에서 떨어지기 때문에 디지털 방송 환경에 맞는 새로운 시스템이 요구되었다. 본 논문에서는 이 요구사항을 만족시키기 위해서 소프트웨어 기반의 디지털 오디오 모니터링 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 시스템 구현에 있어서 다수의 하드웨어 장비의 도움 없이 소프트웨어를 기반으로 하는 1대의 컴퓨터만을 이용하여 1개 채널로 수신되는 다중화 된 디지털 음악방송을 효율적으로 모니터링 한다. 전송된 디지털 방송신호를 역다중화하여 각각의 방송에 대한 오디오 레벨 및 패킷 에러 정보를 추출하여 화면으로 실시간 상태를 표시하면서 정상적으로 방송이 되고 있지 않는 방송을 자동으로 검출하여 알려준다. 실험 결과 디지털 음악방송 채널에 대한 효율적인 실시간 다중 오디오 모니터링이 가능함을 보였다.

This Paper proposes a new artificial immune approach to hardware test. A Novel Algorithm of generating tolerance conditions is suggested based on the principle of the antibody diversity. Tolerance conditions in artificial immune system correspond to the antibody in biological immune system. The suggested method is applied to the on-line monitoring of a typical FSM (a decade counter) and its effectiveness is demonstrated by the computer simulation.

This paper presents a simple method to implement a complete on-line portable wireless holter including an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring, processing, and communication protocol. The proposed algorithm significantly reduces the hardware resources of threshold estimation for ECG compression, using the standard deviation updated with each new input signal sample. The new method achieves superior performance in terms of hardware complexity, channel occupation and memory requirements, while keeping the ECG quality at a clinically acceptable level.

Recently, with the increasing use of power semiconductors and microprocessors which are very sensitive to little change of power quality and for coping positively with anticipating power quality disputes between power providers and consumers which are possible to occur by of power market being formed, the power quality problem has gained preponderance among the contemporary research areas. To serve these purposes, the integrated system has been researched and developed for power quality analysis and monitoring, which provides speedy and powerful functions by the growth of computer hardware and information technology. But the advent of fast and lower price hardware make little difference in an application on many systems. As a result, the key issues of constructing power quality monitoring system are in the management of data obtained, accurate algorithms, graphic representation and user-friendly-environment for easy and clear analysis results. So, in this paper it will be introduced that the standard of user-friendly-GUI(Graphic User Interface) and analysis graphic representation for intuitive understanding of results from power quality analysis based on consideration of several systems currently being in use.

Smart sensors densely distributed over structures can use their computational and wireless communication capabilities to provide rich information for structural health monitoring (SHM). Though smart sensor technology has seen substantial advances during recent years, implementation of smart sensors on full-scale structures has been limited. Hardware resources available on smart sensors restrict data acquisition capabilities; intrinsic to these wireless systems are packet loss, data synchronization errors, and relatively slow communication speeds. This paper addresses these issues under the hardware limitation by developing corresponding middleware services. The reliable communication service requires only a few acknowledgement packets to compensate for packet loss. The synchronized sensing service employs a resampling approach leaving the need for strict control of sensing timing. The data aggregation service makes use of application specific knowledge and distributed computing to suppress data transfer requirements. These middleware services are implemented on the Imote2 smart sensor platform, and their efficacy demonstrated experimentally.
