  • Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology has been widely adopted in the construction industry. However, a challenge encountered in the operational phase is that building object data cannot be updated in real time. The concept of Digital Twin is to digitally simulate objects, environments, and processes in the real world, employing real-time monitoring, simulation, and prediction to achieve dynamic integration between the virtual and the real. This research considers an example related to indoor air quality for realizing the concept of Digital Twin and solving the problem that the digital twin platform cannot be updated in real time. In indoor air quality monitoring, the ventilation rate and the presence of occupants significantly affects carbon dioxide concentration. This study uses the indoor carbon dioxide concentration recommended by the Taiwan Environmental Protection Agency as a reference standard for air quality measurement, providing a solution to the aforementioned challenges. The research develops a digital twin platform using Unity, which seamlessly integrates BIM and IoT technology to realize and synchronize virtual and real environments. Deep learning techniques are applied to process camera images and real-time monitoring data from IoT sensors. The camera images are utilized to detect the entry and exit of individuals indoors, while monitoring data to understand environmental conditions. These data serve as a basis for calculating carbon dioxide concentration and determining the optimal indoor air exchange volume. This platform not only simulates the air quality of the environment but also aids space managers in decision-making to optimize indoor environments. It enables real-time monitoring and contributes to energy conservation.

  • EV(Electric Vehicle) 차량에서 BMS(Battery Management System) 은 모터에 공급되는 고전압 배터리의 충전상태를 감지하여 VCU(Vehicle Control Unit)에 전송하게 된다. VCU에서는 배터리의 충전상태를 확인하여 모터 구동 전략을 수립하여 각 제어기에 전송하게 된다. 위와 같이 EV에서 배터리 충전상태를 정확하게 감지하지 못한다면, 모터 구동을 위한 전략 수립에 많은 제약이 따르게 된다. 정확한 배터리 충전 상태를 감지하기 위해서는 배터리 각 셀의 전압/전류/온도 등을 측정하여 연산에 의해 결정된다. 그 중 셀 전압 측정 방식은 Photomos relay를 이용한 방식으로 하드웨어적인 오차에 ${\pm}$수십mV보다 더둑 더 정밀하게 측정할 수 있는 방법이 없었다. 하지만, 셀 전압 측정 정밀도를 향상시키기 위해 신규로 개발된 battery monitoring IC를 이용한 BMS의 H/W 개발에 대해 설명할 것이다. 또한, Monitoring IC를 이용한 BMS의 셀 전압 측정 정밀도를 얼마나 개선시킬 수 있는지에 대해 연구하였다.

  • A wireless image sensor node collecting image data for environmental monitoring or surveillance requires a large amount of energy to transmit the huge amount of video data. Even though solar energy can be used to overcome the energy constraint, since the collected energy is also limited, an efficient energy management scheme for transmitting a large amount of video data is needed. In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the number of blackout nodes and increase the amount of gathered data by selecting an appropriate video coding method according to the energy condition of the node in a solar-powered wireless video sensor network. This scheme allocates the amount of energy that can be used over time in order to seamlessly collect data regardless of night or day, and selects a high compression coding method when the allocated energy is large and a low compression coding when the quota is low. Thereby, it reduces the blackout of the relay node and increases the amount of data obtained at the sink node by allowing the data to be transmitted continuously. Also, if the energy is lower than operating normaly, the frame rate is adjusted to prevent the energy exhaustion of nodes. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme suppresses the energy exhaustion of the relay node and collects more data than other schemes.
