To develop an efficient pump operating rule for a retard basin, it is necessary to estimate inflow to the retard basin accurately which is affected by the backwater effect at the outlet of the conduit. The magnitude of the backwater effect is dependent on the water depth of a retard basin; however, the depth is determined by the amount of inflow and outflow. Thus, a real time simulation system that is able to simulate urban runoff and the pump operation with the consideration of the backwater effect is required to estimate the actual inflow to a retard basin. With this system, the efficient pump operating rule can be developed to diminish the possible flood damage on urban areas. In this study, a realtime simulation system is developed using the SWMM 5.0 DLL and Visual Basic 6.0 equipped with EXCEL to estimate inflow considering the backwater effect. The realtime simulation can be done by updating realtime input data such as minutely observed rainfall and the depth of a retard basin. Using those updated input data, the model estimates actual inflow, the amount of outflow discharged by pumps and gates, the depth of each junction, and flow rate at a sewer pipe on realtime basis. The developed model was applied to the Joonggok retard basin and demonstrated that it can be used to design a sewer system and to estimate actual inflow through the inlet sewer to reduce the inundation risk. As results, we find that the model can contribute to establish better operating practices for the pumps and the flood drainage system.

Both domestic and overseas urban drainage systems have been actively researched to solve the problems of urban flash floods and the flood damage that is caused by local downpours. Recent urban planning has been designed to better manage the floods of decentralized rainfall-management systems, and the installation of green infrastructure and low-impact development (LID) facilities at national ministries has been recommended. In this study, we use the EPA SWMM model to construct a decentralized rainfall-management network for each small watershed, and we analyze the effect of the drainage-capacity improvement from the installation of the LID technologies in vulnerable areas that replaces the network-expansion process. In the design of the existing urban piping systems, it is common to increase the pipe size due to the increment of the impervious area, the steep terrain, and the sensitive entrance-ramp junction; however, the installation of green infrastructure and LID facilities will be sufficient for the construction of a safe urban drainage system. The applications of LID facilities and green infrastructure in urban areas can positively affect the recovery of the corresponding water cycles to a healthy standard, and it is expected that further research will occur in the future.

도시유역의 중 하류부에 주로 설치되는 4방향 합류맨홀에서 과부하 흐름에 의한 에너지 손실은 도심지 침수피해를 가중시키는 주요 원인이다. 과부하 4방향 합류맨홀에는 유입관의 유입조건에 따라 흐름 양상이 크게 변화되며, 중간맨홀 뿐만 아니라 3방향(T형) 합류맨홀의 흐름조건을 구성한다. 그러므로 유입관의 유입유량 변화에 따른 과부하 4방향 합류맨홀의 에너지 손실 변화 분석 및 손실계수 산정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 하수도시설기준을 준용하여 맨홀직경 및 관경을 1/5로 축소 한 수리실험 장치를 제작하였다. 과부하 사각형 4방향 합류맨홀에서 유입관의 유입유량비 변화에 따른 손실계수를 산정하기 위하여 유입관(주 유입관 및 양측면 유입관)의 유입유량비를 10% 간격으로 변화시켜 다양한 유량조건(40 case)을 선정하였다. 실험 결과 중간맨홀에서 0.40의 가장 낮은 손실계수가, $90^{\circ}$ 접합맨홀에서 1.58의 가장 높은 손실계수가 산정되었다. 또한 합류맨홀(T형, 4방향)의 경우 측면 유입유량이 한쪽으로 편향될수록 보다 큰 손실계수를 나타냈다. 유입관의 유입유량 조건 변화에 따른 손실계수를 산정하여 손실계수 범위도를 작도하였으며, 과부하 사각형 4방향 합류맨홀에서 모든 흐름조건을 고려할 수 있는 손실계수 산정식을 제시하였다. 제시된 산정식은 유입관의 유입유량이 변화하는 배수시스템의 설계 및 검증에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The artificial increase in the solar intensity incident on solar cells using lenses or mirrors can allow solar cells to generate equivalent power with a lower cost. There are two types of concentration optics for solar energy conversion. One is to use mirrors, and the other is to use Fresnel lenses. The gains that can be achieved with a Fresnel lens or a parabolic mirror are compared. The result showed the gains are comparable and the two configurations were developed competitively. In application areas of Fresnel lenses as solar concentrators, several variations of design were devised and tested. Some PV systems still use commercially available flat Fresnel lenses as concentrators. A convex linear Fresnel lens to improve the concentration ratio and the efficiency is devised and flat linear Fresnel lens in thermal energy collection is utilized. In this study, we designed and optimized flat Fresnel lens and the 'light pipe' to develop 500X concentrated solar PV system. In the process, we compare the transmission efficiencies according to groove types. We performed rigorous ray tracing simulation of the flat Fresnel lenses. The computer aided simulation showed the 'grooves in case' has the better efficiency than that of 'grooves out case'. Based on the ray-trace results we designed and manufactured sample Fresnel lenses. The optical performance were measured and compared with ray-trace results. Finally, the optical efficiency was measured to be above 75%. All the design and manufacturing were performed based on that InGaP/InGaAs/Ge triple junction solar cell is used to convert the photon energy to electrical power. Field test will be made and analyzed in the near future.
