본 논문에서는 비대화형 에이전트(독립에이전트)를 바탕으로 멀티 에이전트 연구의 대표적 실험 모델인 먹이추적문제(prey pursuit problem)의 해결에 대한 전략을 제안하고 있다. 먹이추적문제는 가상 격자로 이루어진 공간 내에서 4개의 멀티 에이전트가 1개의 먹이(목표)를 포획하는 실험이다. 이것은 오래전부터 대화형 에이전트, 비대화형 에이전트로 구분되어 연구 되어왔으며 우리는 비대화형 에이전트를 이용하여 문제의 새로운 해법을 찾고자 하였다. 그리고 기존의 제한된 환경과는 전혀 다른 순환구조형 격자 공간에서 ACS를 이용한 방향 벡터 알고리즘을 통해 비대화형 전략의 새로운 해법을 제안할 수 있었다. 에이전트들은 개미의 습성을 응용한 ACS를 이용하여 학습을 하고 목표인 먹이는 에이전트의 학습 속도를 증가시키는 환경변수를 이용하여 이동방향과 경로를 결정하게 된다. 이전에 제기되었던 에이전트간의 정보교환(대화형 에이전트)방식에서 벗어나 비 정보교환(비대화형 에이전트) 방식을 새롭게 적용하여 이를 해결할 수 있는 해법을 찾을 수 있었다는 것에 기존의 다른 멀티에이전트 연구와는 차별성이 있다.

The intermittent electric power supply of renewable energy can have extremely negative effect on power grid, so long-term and large-scale storage for energy released from renewable energy source is required for ensuring a stable supply of electric power. Power to gas which can convert and store the surplus electric power as hydrogen through water electrolysis is being actively studied in response to increasing supply of renewable energy. In this paper, we proposed the novel concept of hydrogen liquefaction process combined with pre-cooling process using the liquid air. It is that hydrogen converted from surplus electric power of renewable energy was liquefied through the hydrogen liquefaction process and vaporization heat of liquid hydrogen was conversely recovered to liquid air from ambient air. Moreover, Comparisons of specific energy consumption (kWh/kg) saved for using the liquid air pre-cooling was quantitatively conducted through the performance analysis. Consequently, about 12% of specific energy consumption of hydrogen liquefaction process was reduced with introducing liquid air for pre-cooling and optimal design point of helium Brayton cycle was identified by sensitivity analysis on change of compression/expansion ratio.

CIGS solar cell consisted of various films. In this research, we investigated electrode materials in $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (CIGS) cells, including Al-doped ZnO (ZnO:Al), intrinsic ZnO (i-ZnO), and Al films. The sputtered ZnO:Al film with a sputtering power at 200W showed the lowest series resistance and highest cell efficiency. The electrical resistivity of the 200-W sputtered ZnO:Al film was $5.2{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ by the rapid thermal annealing at $200^{\circ}C$ for 1 min. The electrical resistivity of i-ZnO was not measurable due to its high resistance. But the optical transmittance was highest with less oxygen supply and high efficiency cell was achieved with $O_2/(Ar+O_2)$ ratio was 1% due to the increase of short-circuit current. No significant change in the cell performance by inserting a Ni layer between Al and ZnO:Al films was observed.

It is necessary to select the appropriate global climate model (GCM) to take into account the impacts of climate change on integrated water management. The objective of this study was to develop the selection technique of representative GCMs for uncertainty in climate change scenario. The selection technique which set priorities of GCMs consisted of two steps. First step was evaluating original GCMs by comparing with grid-based observational data for the past period. Second step was evaluating whether the statistical downscaled data reflect characteristics for the historical period. Spatial Disaggregation Quantile Delta Mapping (SDQDM), one of the statistical downscaling methods, was used for the downscaled data. The way of evaluating was using explanatory power, the stepwise ratio of the entire GCMs by Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI) basis. We used 26 GCMs based on CMIP5 data. The Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios were selected for this study. The period for evaluating reproducibility of historical period was 30 years from 1976 to 2005. Precipitation, maximum temperature, and minimum temperature were used as collected climate variables. As a result, we suggested representative 13 GCMs among 26 GCMs by using the selection technique developed in this research. Furthermore, this result can be utilized as a basic data for integrated water management.

본 논문에서는 침수조건의 식생이 식재된 개수로의 흐름 및 난류특성을 수치모의하였다. 이를 위해 여과된 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 수치해석 하였고 난류 모형으로 LES 모형을 이용하였다. 식생을 계산격자로 직접 고려하였고 이를 위해 직교격자 기반에 가상경계기법을 적용하였다. 수치모형을 이용하여 계산한 평균흐름을 Liu et al. (2008)의 수리실험데이터와 비교하였고 평균오차 10%내에서 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 식생영역과 비식생영역 사이에서 강한 와가 생성되는 것을 확인하였고 이는 횡방향에 걸쳐 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 경계면에서 전단에 의해 유발된 난류는 후류에 의해 발생한 난류성분과 상호작용하여 최대값을 보였다. 전단에 의한 난류는 식생영역 흐름에 영향을 미쳤고 침투깊이는 식생 침수비가 커질수록 증가하였다. 이러한 난류흐름 특성은 식생영역에서 유사거동 메커니즘을 파악하는데 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있다.

This study aims to compare the performance of TRIGRS (Transient Rainfall Infiltration and Grid-based Regional Slope-stability model) and TiVaSS (Time-variant Slope Stability model) in the prediction of rainfall-induced shallow landslides. TRIGRS employs one-dimensional (1-D) subsurface flow to simulate the infiltration rate, whereas a three-dimensional (3-D) model is utilized in TiVaSS. The former has been widely used in landslide modeling, while the latter was developed only recently. Both programs are used for the spatiotemporal prediction of shallow landslides caused by rainfall. The present study uses the July 2011 landslide event that occurred in Mt. Umyeon, Seoul, Korea, for validation. The performance of the two programs is evaluated by comparison with data of the actual landslides in both location and timing by using a landslide ratio for each factor of safety class ( index), which was developed for addressing point-like landslide locations. In addition, the influence of surface flow on landslide initiation is assessed. The results show that the shallow landslides predicted by the two models have characteristics that are highly consistent with those of the observed sliding sites, although the performance of TiVaSS is slightly better. Overland flow affects the buildup of the pressure head and reduces the slope stability, although this influence was not significant in this case. A slight increase in the predicted unstable area from 19.30% to 19.93% was recorded when the overland flow was considered. It is concluded that both models are suitable for application in the study area. However, although it is a well-established model requiring less input data and shorter run times, TRIGRS produces less accurate results.

A heterogeneous thorium-based Kyung Hee Thorium Fuel (KTF) assembly design was assessed for application in the APR-1400 to study the feasibility of using thorium fuel in a conventional pressurized water reactor (PWR). Thermal hydraulic safety was examined for the thorium-based APR-1400 core, focusing on the Departure from Nucleate Boiling Ratio (DNBR) and Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident (LBLOCA) analysis. To satisfy the minimum DNBR (MDNBR) safety limit condition, MDNBR>1.3, a new grid design was adopted, that enabled grids in the seed and blanket assemblies to have different loss coefficients to the coolant flow. The fuel radius of the blanket was enlarged to increase the mass flow rate in the seed channel. Under transient conditions, the MDNBR values for the Beginning of Cycle (BOC), Middle of Cycle (MOC), and End of Cycle (EOC) were 1.367, 1.465, and 1.554, respectively, despite the high power tilt across the seed and blanket. Anticipated transient for the DNBR analysis were simulated at conditions of $112\%$ over-power, $95\%$ flow rate, and $2^{\circ}C$ higher inlet temperature. The maximum peak cladding temperature (PCT) was 1,173K for the severe accident condition of the LBLOCA, while the limit condition was 1,477K. The proliferation resistance potential of the thorium-based core was found to be much higher than that of the conventional $UO_2$ fuel core, $25\%$ larger in Bare Critical Mass (BCM), $60\%$ larger in Spontaneous Neutron Source (SNS), and $155\%$ larger in Thermal Generation (TG) rate; however, the radio-toxicity of the spent fuel was higher than that of $UO_2$ fuel, making it more environmentally unfriendly due to its high burnup rate.

Drought monitoring over paddy field area is an important role as the frequency and intensity of drought due to climate change increases. This study analyzed the applicability of drought monitoring on paddy crops using MODIS-based field surveys. As a satellite-based drought index using evapotranspiration for quantitative drought determination, ESI (Evaporative Stress Index), was applied and calculated through the ratio of MODIS- based actual and potential evapotranspiration. For the irrigated areas of Idong, Gosam, Geumgwang, and Madun reservoirs the availability of irrigation water supply, ponding depth, precipitation, paddy growth were investigated for the paddy field within one grid of MODIS. In addition, the percentile-based ESI drought severity was calculated to compare the growth process of paddy and changes in the drought category of ESI. The Idong area was irrigated about a week later than other reservoirs for the period of water supply, transplanting, and water drainage and the ESI drought category tended to be different. The Gosam, Geumgwang, and Madun area expressed moderate drought prior to the farming season, and indicated normal as the water was supplied. During the water drainage, the drought category intensified, indicating that the water available on land was decreasing. These results demonstrated that the MODIS-based ESI could be an effective tool for agricultural drought monitoring over paddy field area.

페라이트 코어는 연자성 재료로서 유도형 전력선 통신을 위한 결합기 제작에 사용되고 있다. 그러나 전력선 통신환경에 따라 크기를 자유롭게 조절하기 어려운 재료이다. 본 논문에서는 페라이트 보다 투자율이 높은 나노 결정립합금을 이용하여 광대역 전력선 통신용 유도형 결합기 재료로 적용할 수 있음을 보고한다. 나노결정립은 얇은 리본 형태로 제조되므로 토로이달 코어에 감긴 리본의 횟수로 결합기의 크기를 자유롭게 조절할 수 있다. 함침법으로 만든 코어를 이용하여 유도형 결합기를 제작하였고, 이를 비접촉식 전력선 통신용에 적용할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 실험결과 100 A 이하의 선로 전류변동 조건에서 통신거리 100 m 까지는 45 Mbps, 200 m 까지는 8 Mbps의 대역폭을 보였으며 수신율은 100 %이였다.
