In this study, two-dimensional location of crops for auto weeding was detected using deep learning. To construct a dataset for soybean detection, an image-capturing system was developed using a mono camera and single-board computer and the system was mounted on a weeding robot to collect soybean images. A dataset was constructed by extracting RoI (region of interest) from the raw image and each sample was labeled with soybean and the background for classification learning. The deep learning model consisted of four convolutional layers and was trained with a weakly supervised learning method that can provide object localization only using image-level labeling. Localization of the soybean area can be visualized via CAM and the two-dimensional position of the soybean was estimated by clustering the pixels associated with the soybean area and transforming the pixel coordinates to world coordinates. The actual position, which is determined manually as pixel coordinates in the image was evaluated and performances were 6.6(X-axis), 5.1(Y-axis) and 1.2(X-axis), 2.2(Y-axis) for MSE and RMSE about world coordinates, respectively. From the results, we confirmed that the center position of the soybean area derived through deep learning was sufficient for use in automatic weeding systems.

Transmission lines systems are important components of the electrical power infrastructure. However, these systems are vulnerable to damage from high wind events such as hurricanes. This study presents the results from a 1:50 scale aeroelastic model of a multi-span transmission lines system subjected to simulated hurricane winds. The transmission lines system considered in this study consists of three lattice towers, four spans of conductors and two end-frames. The aeroelastic tests were conducted at the NSF NHERI Wall of Wind Experimental Facility (WOW EF) at the Florida International University (FIU). A horizontal distortion scaling technique was used in order to fit the entire model on the WOW turntable. The system was tested at various wind speeds ranging from 35 m/s to 78 m/s (equivalent full-scale speeds) for varying wind directions. A system identification (SID) technique was used to evaluate experimental-based along-wind aerodynamic damping coefficients and compare with their theoretical counterparts. Comparisons were done for two aeroelastic models: (i) a self-supported lattice tower, and (ii) a multi-span transmission lines system. A buffeting analysis was conducted to estimate the response of the conductors and compare it to measured experimental values. The responses of the single lattice tower and the multi-span transmission lines system were compared. The coupling effects seem to drastically change the aerodynamic damping of the system, compared to the single lattice tower case. The estimation of the drag forces on the conductors are in good agreement with their experimental counterparts. The incorporation of the change in turbulence intensity along the height of the towers appears to better estimate the response of the transmission tower, in comparison with previous methods which assumed constant turbulence intensity. Dynamic amplification factors and gust effect factors were computed, and comparisons were made with code specific values. The resonance contribution is shown to reach a maximum of 18% and 30% of the peak response of the stand-alone tower and entire system, respectively.

In this study, a DeCART/MIG uncertainty quantification (UQ) analysis code system with a multicorrelated cross section stochastic sampling (S.S.) module was established and verified through the UAM (Uncertainty Analysis in Modeling) and the BEAVRS (Benchmark for Evaluation And Validation of Reactor Simulations) benchmark calculations. For the S.S. calculations, a sample of 500 DeCART multigroup cross section sets for two major actinides, i.e., ²³⁵U and ²³⁸U, were generated by the MIG code and covariance data from the ENDF/B-VII.1 evaluated nuclear data library. In the three pin problems (i.e. TMI-1, PB2, and Koz-6) from the UAM benchmark, the uncertainties in k_inf by the DeCART/MIG S.S. calculations agreed very well with the sensitivity and uncertainty (S/U) perturbation results by DeCART/MUSAD and the S/U direct subtraction (S/U-DS) results by the DeCART/MIG. From these results, it was concluded that the multi-group cross section sampling module of the MIG code works correctly and accurately. In the BEAVRS whole benchmark problems, the uncertainties in the control rod bank worth, isothermal temperature coefficient, power distribution, and critical boron concentration due to cross section uncertainties were calculated by the DeCART/MIG code system. Overall, the uncertainties in these design parameters were less than the general design review criteria of a typical pressurized water reactor start-up case. This newly-developed DeCART/MIG UQ analysis code system by the S.S. method can be widely utilized as uncertainty analysis and margin estimation tools for developing and designing new advanced nuclear reactors.

With the rise of economic and safety standards for nuclear reactors, new concepts of Gen-IV reactors and modular reactors showed more complex designs that challenge current tools for reactor physics analysis. A Monte Carlo (MC) two-step method was proposed in this work. This calculation scheme uses the continuous-energy MC method to generate multi-group cross-sections from heterogeneous models. The multi-group MC method, which can adapt locally-heterogeneous models, is used in the core calculation step. This calculation scheme is verified using a Gen-IV modular lead-based fast reactor (LFR) benchmark case. The influence of homogenized patterns, scatter approximations, flux separable approximation, and local heterogeneity in core calculation on simulation results are investigated. Results showed that the cross-sections generated using the 3D assembly model with a locally heterogeneous representation of control rods lead to an accurate estimation with less than 270 pcm bias in core reactivity, 0.5% bias in control rod worth, and 1.5% bias on power distribution. The study verified the applicability of multi-group cross-sections generated with the MC method for LFR analysis. The study also proved the feasibility of multi-group MC in core calculation with local heterogeneity, which saves 85% time compared to the continuous-energy MC.

European Space Agency's Sentinel-1 has an improved spatial and temporal resolution, as compared to previous satellite data such as Envisat Advanced SAR (ASAR) or Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT). Thus, the assumption used for low-resolution retrieval algorithms used by ENVISAT ASAR or ASCAT is not applicable to Sentinel-1, because a higher degree of land surface heterogeneity should be considered for retrieval. The assumption of homogeneity over land surface is not valid any more. In this study, considering that soil roughness is one of the key parameters sensitive to soil moisture retrievals, various approaches are discussed. First, soil roughness is spatially inverted from Sentinel-1 backscattering over Yanco sites in Australia. Based upon this, Artificial Neural Networks data (feedforward multiplayer perception, MLP, Levenberg-Marquadt algorithm) are compared with Fractal approach (brownian fractal, Hurst exponent of 0.5). When using ANNs, training data are achieved from theoretical forward scattering models, Integral Equation Model (IEM). and Sentinel-1 measurements. The network is trained by 20 neurons and one hidden layer, and one input layer. On the other hand, fractal surface roughness is generated by fitting 1D power spectrum model with roughness spectra. Fractal roughness profile is produced by a stochastic process describing probability between two points, and Hurst exponent, as well as rms heights (a standard deviation of surface height). Main interest of this study is to estimate a spatial variability of roughness without the need of local measurements. This non-local approach is significant, because we operationally have to be independent from local stations, due to its few spatial coverage at the global level. More fundamentally, SAR roughness is much different from local measurements, Remote sensing data are influenced by incidence angle, large scale topography, or a mixing regime of sensors, although probe deployed in the field indicate point data. Finally, demerit and merit of these approaches will be discussed.

최근에 기후변화로 인한 한반도에 내습하는 태풍에 빈도는 점차 증가하고 있다. 2020년도 8월 26일 태풍 '바비', 9월 2일 태풍 '마이삭', 9월 7일 태풍 '하이선'은 일주일 내의 간격으로 한반도를 내습하였다. 한반도에 내습한 태풍 중에서 마이삭과 하이선은 동쪽 해역을 지나가면서 강풍과 많은 강우를 초래하였다. 그 결과 특정 원전은 자동 가동중지가 발생되는 사태를 야기 시켰다. 본 연구에서는 원자력 발전소 인근 해역에서 폭풍해일에 의한 가능최대파고 높이를 추정함으로써 발전소 안전성에 대한 검토에 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위해 첫 번째로 '2019 전국 심해 설계파 산출 보고서'를 바탕으로 원전 인근 해역 심해 설계파 지점에 대해 파고, 주기, 해상풍과 같은 변수들을 분석하였다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 100년부터 1000만년까지의 변수들을 예측하였다. 두 번째로 해도자료를 바탕으로 GIS를 통한 지형자료를 구축하였다. 구축된 지형자료를 바탕으로 SWAN 모델의 기초자료를 구성하였다. 세 번째로 추정된 변수들과 구축된 지형자료를 바탕으로 100년부터 1000만년까지의 시나리오별 SWAN 시뮬레이션을 통해서 원전 인근 해역에 대한 가능 최대 파고 높이를 분석하였다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 특정 원전인근 해역에서의 평균적인 파고 높이에 대한 재해도 곡선을 추정하고 제시하였다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 향후 확률론적인 분석 방법을 적용하여 불확실성을 고려한 재해도 곡선 추정 과정의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다. 또한 EurOtop을 적용하여 파고 높이에 따른 원전부지의 Overtopping을 추정하고, 최종적으로 폭풍해일에 의한 원전부지의 2차원 침수해석의 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이를 통해 홍수 방지 및 예방과 관련한 홍수저감 활동과 관련된 통제실 외부 시설물에 대한 수동 조작에 대한 안전성 평가가 이루어질 수 있겠다.

국내에서 발생하는 토양침식(soil erosion)은 주로 강우에 의해 발생하며, 이로 인해 농경지 유실, 탁수 발생, 하천 통수능 저하 등 여러 수문학적·환경적 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 유역 내 토양침식 위험지역을 선별하고, 해당 지역의 토양유실 및 유사의 발생량을 산정하는 것은 토양보전 대책 수립 시에 중요한 지표로 활용된다. 침식-유사유출의 물리적 과정은 크게 '강우에 의한 토양 분리(detachment by raindrop)'와 '지표류에 의한 토양 분리(detachment by overlandflow)'로 나눌 수 있으며, 그중 강우에 의한 토양 분리는 수침식(water erosion)의 첫 번째 과정 중 하나로 강우 시 낙하하는 강우 입자들이 갖는 운동에너지가 지표면을 타격할 때 토양체로부터 토양입자가 분리되는 과정이다. 따라서 강우에 의한 토양분리량 산정을 위해서는 강우 운동에너지(rainfall kinetic energy, KE)의 정확한 계산이 요구된다. 그러나 기후 및 지리적 특성 등 여러 조건에 따라 강우 운동에너지는 지역마다 다르게 나타나며, 이로 인해 강우 운동에너지 추정이 매우 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 강우 운동에너지 추정은 주로 강우강도(rainfall intensity, I)와의 관계를 이용한 함수식을 활용한다. 본 연구에서는 대상 지역인 상주지역에 광학우적계(disdrometer)를 설치하여 2020년 6월부터 2021년 12월까지 관측된 37개의 강우 사상에 대하여 KE-I의 관계를 분석하고, 이를 통해 강우 운동에너지식을 도출하였다. 또한, 기존에 국외 및 국내에서 제시된 선형(linear), 멱함수(power-law function), 지수함수(exponential function) 형태의 강우 운동에너지 공식과 본 연구에서 산정된 KE를 비교하였다. 그 결과 비체적 강우 운동에너지에서 Sanchez-Moreno et al. (2012)가 제안한 멱함수 형태의 공식이, 비시간 강우 운동에너지에서 Kinnel (1981)이 제안한 지수함수 형태의 공식이 각각 강우 운동에너지 추정에 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났다.

Reservoirs play a key role in the carbon cycle between terrestrial and marine systems and are pathways that release greenhouse gases(GHGs), CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O, into the atmosphere by decomposing organic matters. Developed countries have been actively conducting research on carbon emission assessment of dam reservoirs for over 10 years under the leadership of UNESCO/IHA, but associated research is very rare in Korea. In particular, the GHGs footprint evaluation, which calculates the change in net carbon emission considering the watershed environment between pre- and post- impoundment, is very important in evaluating the carbon emission of hydroelectric dams. The objective of this study was to estimate the GHG emissions and footprints in Daecheong Reservoir using the G-res Tool, an online platform developed by UNESCO/IHA. The G-res Tool estimates CO₂ and CH₄ emissions in consideration of diverse pathway fluxes of GHGs from the reservoir and characterizes changes in GHG fluxes over 100 years based on the expected lifetime of the dam. The input required to use the G-res Tool include data related to watersheds, reservoirs, and dams, and most were collected through the government's public portal. As a result of the study, the GHG footprint of Daecheong Reservoir was estimated to be 93 gCO₂eq/m²/yr, which is similar to that of other reservoirs around the world in the same climate zone. After impoundment, the CH₄ diffusion emission from the reservoir was 73 gCO₂eq/m²/yr, also similar to those of the overseas reservoirs, but the CH₄ bubbling emission, degassing emission, and CO₂ diffusion emissions were 44, 34, 252 gCO₂eq/m²/yr, respectively, showing a rather high tendency. Since the dam reservoir carbon footprint evaluation is essential for the Clean Development Mechanism evaluation of hydroelectric power generation, continuous research is needed in the future. In particular, experimental studies that can replace the emission factors obtained from the overseas dam reservoirs currently used in the G-res Tool should be promoted.
