  • 전력공급의 신뢰도가 중요한 고도의 산업화 사회에서 안정적인 전력공급을 위한 비상전원 시스템의 이용은 필수적이며 이들을 위한 에너지 저장장치로서 축전지가 주류를 이루고 있다. 그러나 축전지는 비선형적인 특성으로 인해 그 상태를 정확히 예측하기 어려워 함께 사용되는 설비의 신뢰성을 저하시키는 문제를 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 AC 임피던스법을 이용하여 배터리의 이상 유무를 감시할 수 있는 모니터링 장치의 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어를 설계하고 실증하였다. 또한, 배터리의 상태를 진단할 수 있는 알고리즘을 적용하였으며, CAN 통신을 통하여 원격으로 다수의 배터리를 실시간으로 감시할 수 있는 소프트웨어도 개발하였다.

  • Toshiba has developed a laser peening system for PWRs(pressurized water reactors) as well after the one for BWRs(boiling water reactors), and applied it for BMI(bottom-mounted instrumentation) nozzles, core deluge line nozzles and primary water inlet nozzles of Ikata Unit 1 and 2 of Shikoku Electric Power Company since 2004, which are Japanese operating PWR power plants. Laser pulses were delivered through twin optical fibers and irradiated on two portions in parallel to reduce operation time. For BMI nozzles, we developed a tiny irradiation head for small tubes and we peened the inner surface around J-groove welds after laser ultrasonic testing (LUT) as the remote inspection, and we peened the outer surface and the weld for Ikata Unit 2 supplementary. For core deluge line nozzles and primary water inlet nozzles, we peened the inner surface of the dissimilar metal welding, which is of nickel base alloy, joining a safe end and a low alloy metal nozzle. In this paper, the development and the actual application of the laser peening system for PWR power plants will be described.

  • A bridge health monitoring technology is under development for the safety management of aged bridges. The bridge health monitoring technology has been developed mainly for single bridge management at a large scale, so it uses wire-based systems for power supply and data transfer. However, the wire-based systems need to be improved for the sporadically distributed small-sized bridges on local roads. This study proposed a wireless structural health monitoring system for small-sized bridges. The proposed monitoring system overcomes the limitations of wired systems by providing wireless power through solar power and utilizing LTE technology to transmit measurement data. In addition, a remote control system and power management plan were proposed to ensure the stability of the bridge measurement system. The proposed measurement system was installed on 32 bridges on fields and verified the operability by collecting 80.6% of measurement data for one year. The proposed system can support the health monitoring of aged bridges on local roads.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to propose a system predicting whether an electricity distribution system is abnormal by analyzing the temperature of the deteriorated system. Traditional electricity distribution system abnormality diagnosis was mainly limited to post-inspection. This research presents a remote monitoring system for detecting thermal images of the deteriorated electricity distribution system efficiently hereby providing safe and efficient abnormal diagnosis to electricians. Methods: In this study, an object detection algorithm (YOLOv5) is performed using 16,866 thermal images of electricity distribution systems provided by KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Corporation). Abnormality/Normality of the extracted system images from the algorithm are classified via the limit temperature. Each classification model, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, XGBOOST is performed to explore 463,053 temperature datasets. The process capability index is employed to indicate the quality of the electricity distribution system. Results: This research performs case study with transformers representing the electricity distribution systems. The case study shows the following states: accuracy 100%, precision 100%, recall 100%, F1-score 100%. Also the case study shows the process capability index of the transformers with the following states: steady state 99.47%, caution state 0.16%, and risk state 0.37%. Conclusion: The sum of caution and risk state is 0.53%, which is higher than the actual failure rate. Also most transformer abnormalities can be detected through this monitoring system.

  • As the earth's current global warming has caused elevation of sea water temperature, size of storms is foreseen to increase and consequently large damages on port facilities are to be expected. In addition, due to the improved processing efficiency of port cargo volume and increasing necessity for construction of eco-friendly port, demands for various forms of port facilities are anticipated. In this study, two kinds of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques (rebound hardness and ultrasonic pulse velocity methods) are investigated for the effective maintenance of smart green harbor system. A new methodology to estimate the underwater concrete strengths is proposed and its feasibility is verified throughout a series of experimental works.

  • Rice pest identification is essential in modern agriculture for the health of rice crops. As global rice consumption rises, yields and quality must be maintained. Various methodologies were employed to identify pests, encompassing sensor-based technologies, deep learning, and remote sensing models. Visual inspection by professionals and farmers remains essential, but integrating technology such as satellites, IoT-based sensors, and drones enhances efficiency and accuracy. A computer vision system processes images to detect pests automatically. It gives real-time data for proactive and targeted pest management. With this motive in mind, this research provides a novel farmland fertility algorithm with a deep learning-based automated rice pest detection and classification (FFADL-ARPDC) technique. The FFADL-ARPDC approach classifies rice pests from rice plant images. Before processing, FFADL-ARPDC removes noise and enhances contrast using bilateral filtering (BF). Additionally, rice crop images are processed using the NASNetLarge deep learning architecture to extract image features. The FFA is used for hyperparameter tweaking to optimise the model performance of the NASNetLarge, which aids in enhancing classification performance. Using an Elman recurrent neural network (ERNN), the model accurately categorises 14 types of pests. The FFADL-ARPDC approach is thoroughly evaluated using a benchmark dataset available in the public repository. With an accuracy of 97.58, the FFADL-ARPDC model exceeds existing pest detection methods.

  • If the automated image calibration system is performed in the position of non-experts, an expert will be required in every case inefficiently. But this requires an expert only when absolutely necessary. As well as the rapid system operation and efficient workforce can be managed. Image correction to perform projector inspection and management skills and to filter SW plug-in correction is that special theater system maintenance is not only managed efficiently, but also combined image analysis techniques can improve the technical perfection. This paper is to minimize the economic loss by developing a 10-bit High-depth and high-resolution $360^{\circ}$ projection image analysis technique and is to development of the special theater calibration system to effectively support quality.
