During the past decades automated storage/retrieval (AS/R) systems have been dominantly implemented in most industrial fields due to their handling efficiency and high utilization of storage space. Such AS/R systems consist of several modules each of which contains two racks and a S/R machine. This paper proposes a design of the hybrid AS/R module which can be adopted without too much initial expenditure by most of small-and-medium sized companies. The hybrid module consists of an AS/R module on the upper floor and a traditional warehouse module on the lower floor. For the AS/R module, analytical expressions of the expected travel times for the S/R machine and the elevator per operation are derived. The expected travel times represent the performance of the module and thus can be used for its economic design.

클라우드 컴퓨팅(Cloud Computing)의 경제성과 유연성을 향상시키기 위해 복잡해지는 자원의 운영 및 관리를 자동화하는 추세에 있다. 그러나 클라우드 스토리지에 대한 자동화는 제조업체의 스토리지 하드웨어에 종속되나, 사용자가 필요로 하는 용도에 맞추어 스토리지 유형을 유연하게 지원할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 클라우드 스토리지의 자동화 추세에 맞추어 사용자의 환경에 연계한 블록/파일/객체 스토리지를 통합으로 지원하는 자동 설정 모듈을 제안한다. 제안방법은 클라우드 스토리지인 ceph을 자동으로 설치하기 위하여 Chef 구성관리도구 기반의 자동설치 및 설정 모듈을 제안하였으며, 사용자들이 ceph 스토리지를 쉽게 사용할 수 있도록 쉘 프로그램 기반의 블록/파일/객체 스토리지 자동설정 모듈을 제안하였다. 제안방법은 하드웨어 종속 없이 가상이나 물리적인 사용자 환경에서도 자동적으로 공유파일 스토리지, 블록 스토리지, 객체 스토리지에 대한 설정 및 관리를 쉽게 할 수 있다.

In general, electrolytic capacitors are used to reduce power pulsations on PV-panels. However, this can reduce the reliability of the PV AC-module system, because electrolytic capacitors have a shorter lifetime than PV-panels. In addition, PV-panels generate irregular power and inject it into the grid because the output power of a PV-panel depends on the surrounding conditions such as irradiation and temperature. To solve these problems, a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) AC-module with active power decoupling and energy storage is proposed. A parallel bi-directional converter is connected to the AC module to reduce the output power pulsations of PV-panels. Thus, the electrolytic capacitor can be replaced with a film capacitor. In addition, the irregular output power due to the surrounding conditions can be regulated by using a parallel energy storage circuit. To maintain the discontinuous conduction mode at low irradiation, the frequency control method is adopted. The design method of the proposed converter and the operation principles are introduced. An experimental prototype rated at 125W was built to verify the performance of the proposed converter.

The ultracapacitor module has recently been recast for use in hybrid energy storage systems (HESSs). As a result, accurate state-of-charge (SOC) estimation for an ultracapacitor module is as important as that of primary sources in order to be utilized efficiently in an energy storage system (ESS). However, while SOC estimation via the open-circuit voltage (OCV) method is generally used due to its linear characteristics compared with other ESSs, this method results in many errors in cases of highcurrent charging/discharging within a short time period. Accordingly, this paper introduces a dynamic SOC estimation algorithm that is capable of SOC compensation of an ultracapacitor module even when there is a current input and output. A cycle profile that simulates the operating conditions of a mild-HEV was applied to a vehicle simulator to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Edge Computing enables real-time big data processing by performing computing close to the physical location of the user or data source. However, in an edge computing environment, various situations that affect big data processing performance may occur depending on temporary service requirements or changes of physical resources in the field. In this paper, we proposed a BigCrawler system that dynamically configures the computing module and storage module according to the big data collection status and computing resource usage status in the edge computing environment. And the feature of big data processing workload according to the arrangement of computing module and storage module were analyzed.

We have developed an embedded based environment sensing module with high-resolution temperature, humidity and gas sensors to detect gas leakage under the condition of LNG injection. The developed sensing module have linearity with gas concentration. We have confirmed the developed sensing module could detect LNG gas concentration of 5 cmol/mol and 15 cmol/mol, which are gas concentration at risk of explosion. The response time of the developed module was fast within 8 seconds. Therefore it can be used to detect LNG gas leakage.

본 논문에서는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서 WAN 스토리지 복제 모델의 성능평가를 위한 시뮬레이터를 설계하고 구현한다. 이 시뮬레이터의 각 클라우드는 가상머신의 역할을 수행하는 가상머신 에뮬레이터와 스토리지의 역할을 수행하는 스토리지 에뮬레이터로 구성된다. 가상머신 에뮬레이터는 R/W 작업비율 설정모듈, R/W 순서 조합모듈, R/W 요청모듈로 구성한다. 스토리지 에뮬레이터는 스토리지 관리모듈, 데이터 전송모듈, R/W 수행모듈, 오버헤드 처리모듈로 구성된다. 이 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 스토리지에 대한 R/W 비율, 네트워크 지연, 네트워크 대역폭 등의 변화에 따른 두 이주 방법의 성능을 평가한다. 그 결과 read 작업이 증가 할수록 선 복제 모델의 평균이 주시간은 감소 하지만 후 복제 모델의 평균이주시간은 증가한다. 또한, 네트워크 지연이 증가할수록 후 복제 모델의 평균이주시간은 증가 하였지만, 선 복제 모델의 평균이주시간은 일정함을 보인다. 따라서 네트워크의 지연이 증가 하는 경우 후 복제 모델보다 선 복제 모델의 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 네트워크 대역폭의 변화에 따른 평균이 주시간은 두 모델이 유사하였기 때문에 스토리지 복제 모델을 선정함에 있어 네트워크 대역폭은 중요한 요소가 아님을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, a real-time surveillance system using Internet of Things technology is proposed for vaccine cold chains. This system fully visualizes vaccine transport and storage. It comprises a 4G gateway module, lowpower and low-cost wireless temperature and humidity collection module (WTHCM), cloud service software platform, and phone app. The WTHCM is installed in freezers or truck-mounted cold chain cabinets to collect the temperature and humidity information of the vaccine storage environment. It then transmits the collected data to a gateway module in the radiofrequency_physical layer (RF_PHY). The RF_PHY is an interface for calling the bottom 2.4-GHz transceiver, which can realize a more flexible communication mode. The gateway module can simultaneously receive data from multiple acquisition terminals, process the received data depending on the protocol, and transmit the collated data to the cloud server platform via 4G or Wi-Fi. The cloud server platform primarily provides data storage, chart views, short-message warnings, and other functions. The phone app is designed to help users view and print temperature and humidity data concerning the transportation and storage of vaccines anytime and anywhere. Thus, this system provides a new vaccine management model for ensuring the safety and reliability of vaccines to a greater extent.

This paper proposes an energy storage-assisted, series-connected module-integrated power conversion system that integrates a photovoltaic power conditioner and a charge balancing circuit. In conventional methods, a photovoltaic power conditioner and a cell-balancing circuit are needed for photovoltaic systems with energy storage devices, but they cause a complex configuration and high cost. Moreover, an imbalanced output voltage of the module-integrated converter for PV panels can be a result of partial shading. Partial shading can lead to the fault condition of the boost converter in shaded modules and high voltage stresses on the devices in other modules. To overcome these problems, a bidirectional buck-boost converter with an integrated magnetic device operating for a charge-balancing circuit is proposed. The proposed circuit has multiple secondary rectifiers with inductors sharing a single magnetic core, which works as an inductor for the main bidirectional charger/discharger of the energy storage. The secondary rectifiers operate as a cell-balancing circuit for both energy storage and the series-connected multiple outputs of the module-integrated converter. The operating principle of the cell-balancing power conversion circuit and the power stage design are presented and validated by PSIM simulation for analysis. A hardware prototype with equivalent photovoltaic modules is implemented for verification. The results verify that the modularized photovoltaic power conversion system in the output series with an energy storage successfully works with the proposed low-cost bidirectional buck-boost converter comprising a single magnetic device.
