This paper presents the aspect and distribution of voltage and current harmonics being made at low voltage power systems. The voltage and current harmonics in power systems supplying various loads were monitored and analyzed. We have examined the results compared to advanced countries' harmonics control standards. As a result, the current harmonics were significantly greater than the voltage harmonics. In particular, the harmonics of currents flowing through loads with power switching electronics was pronounced. Also, the contents of current harmonics of street lamp circuits was about 30%, and it was decreased to 12.3% with the installation of scries reactor. On the whole, The measured results of voltage and current harmonics exceeds the regulation limits recommended by IEEE std 519-1992.

최근 가로등에 의한 감전사가 사회적 관심을 끌고 있다. 가로등은 감전사고의 위험성이 높은 도로시설물로 철저한 감전사고 예방대책이 요구되지만 누전 차단기에 의존하는 기존의 대책으로는 사고예방에 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 중성점 접지 방식을 개선하고자 가로등 전용 변압기를 설치하여 침수 우려 시 중성점 접지를 개방하고 순간적인 접지스위칭을 실시함으로써 접지시스템과 비 접지시스템의 장점을 모두 유지할 수 있게 함으로써 원활한 시스템운전을 보장하면서도 감전사고를 획기적으로 줄일 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.

신재생에너지에 대한 세계적인 수요는 2010년도 이후에도 계속 증가하는 추세이다. 이러한 이유는 에너지 고갈과 기후변화에 기인하며, 화석연료의 경우 사용가능 연한은 석유 54.2년, 천연가스 63.6년, 석탄 112년에 불과하며, 기존 화석연료 사용에 의한 온실가스 배출 등은 각종 환경문제를 발생하고 있다. 따라서 세계 여러 나라에서는 에너지 고갈을 해결하기 위한 다양한 방안을 모색중이며, 대안으로 신재생에너지를 인류의 새로운 에너지원으로 주목하고 있다. 하지만 물, 바람, 태양 등 신재생에너지원의 경우 출력특성 등이 매우 불안하여 이들 에너지원을 효율적으로 사용하기 위해서는 반드시 에너지저장시스템(ESS, Energy Storage System)이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 태양광 가로등을 대상으로 기존의 납축전지를 대체하기 위한 리튬이차전지를 사용한 배터리팩을 개발하고 표준화 및 범용화를 위해 셀들의 조합을 용이하게 하기 위한 유니버셜 모듈을 제안한다.

This paper describes a robust landmark matching method to reduce ambiguity of candidate of landmark. General robot system acquires the candidate of landmark through vision sensor in outdoor environment. Our robot uses the omnidirectional vision system to get all around the view. Thus, the robot obtains more candidates of landmark than the conventional vision system. To obtain the candidates of landmark, robot uses the two types of feature. They are vertical edge and merged region of vertical edges. The former is to extract the vertical line of building, street lamp, etc. The latter is to reduce ambiguity of vertical edge in similar region. It is difficult to match the candidates of landmark...

Two 12 m high tubular steel lighting columns have been instrumented to determine the wind-induced fatigue loading experienced by such columns. Each column supported a single luminaire mounted on a 0.5 m long bracket. One column was planted in soil, and the other bolted through a welded baseplate to a substantial concrete base. The columns were strain gauged just above the shoulder weld which connected the main shaft to the larger base tube. Forced vibration tests were undertaken to determine the natural frequencies and damping of the columns. Extensive recordings were made of response to winds with speeds from 4 m/s to 17 m/s. Selected records were analysed to obtain stress cycle counts and fatigue lives. Mean drag coefficients were also derived from the strain data to investigate experimentally the effect of Reynolds Number.

LED lighting because of high efficiency, long life, friendly environment, as a general lighting of the next generation, has been substituted for incandescent bulb and fluorescent lamp. The proposed system for use of solar battery is the intelligent controller for LED street lights which is improved the method of battery charging and charging efficiency in winter to extend battery life cycle, controlled lighting current according to SoC and in steps. Also, it is implemented emotional lighting which is controlled with the surrounding environment, by using colorful sub LED to take up 10[%] of a source of total light, white LED. As a lab results, the proposed system was implemented functions to adapt to the environmental changes, and improved the charging efficiency and battery life cycle.

최근 전국 각지의 설치되어 운영/관리 되고 있는 가로등 사업의 주요 이슈는 가로등/보안등으로 사용되는 광원 자체가 기존의 노란색 나트륨 등에서 CDM(백색 고휘도 메탈 등)계열로 급속히 전환되고 있다는 것이다. 빠르게 발전하는 근거리무선 통신 규약인 Zigbee를 통한 효율적인 관리와 에너지 효율성에 대한 관심도 증대되고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서, 저전력 Zigbee 근거리무선 통신 프로토콜을 이용한 네트워크 구축을 통하여 가로등간의 양방향 통신 시스템을 구축한다. 또한 이 연구를 통하여 에너지 효율성 증대와 운영과 관리의 편의성을 제시하고, 사업화 타당성을 분석한다.

In this paper, to propose a valid method solving a problem relevant to grounding from actual field data, the experimental results relevant to touch and step voltages and surface potential profiles measured around the real-sized and small-sized grounding electrode models were described. The ground surface potential profiles and dangerous voltages around the concrete pedestals employed in street facilities such as street lamps, traffic signal lamp and controllers as a case study were measured and discussed. The hemispherical cell with a diameter of 1,160[mm] was employed to simulate uniform soil. As a result, the results measured with the small-sized model were in reasonably agreement with the data obtained from the real-sized installation. It was found that the small-sized model test could be employed as a useful means evaluating the dangerous voltages around grounding electrodes installed at the inaccessible areas such as mountains, underground, underwater, and so on.
