This paper describes the control and monitoring system for OWEC (Overtopping Wave Energy Converter) which shows the characteristic of power stabilization in overtopping wave energy converter system. Overtopping waves generates different water pressure and the turbine is rotated by this pressure. As a result, overtopping wave energy converter is able to convert wave energy into electricity. Small size of overtopping wave energy converter is developed to simulate the control monitoring system which is able to control power generation and also monitor the system condition. The result shows the reduction of fluctuation from the overtopping wave energy system by the developed control monitoring system. In addition, the DB(Data Base) of test results are contributed to the research and development for OWEC.

Remote sensing wave observation data are crucial when analyzing ocean waves, the main external force of coastal disasters. Nevertheless, it has limitations in accuracy when used in low-wind environments. Therefore, this study collected the raw data from MIROS Wave and Current Radar (MWR) and wave radar at the Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) and applied the optimal filter by combining filters provided by MIROS software. The data were validated by a comparison with South Jeju ocean buoy data. The results showed it maintained accuracy for significant wave height, but errors were observed in significant wave periods and extreme waves. Hence, this study used an artificial neural network (ANN) to improve these errors. The ANN was generalized by separating the data into training and test datasets through stratified sampling, and the optimal model structure was derived by adjusting the hyperparameters. The application of ANN effectively improved the accuracy in significant wave periods and high wave conditions. Consequently, this study reproduced past wave data by enhancing the reliability of the MWR, contributing to understanding wave generation and propagation in storm conditions, and improving the accuracy of wave prediction. On the other hand, errors persisted under high wave conditions because of wave shadow effects, necessitating more data collection and future research.

In this paper, we present the results of the numerical analysis employing CONWEP, LS-DYNA FSI(Fluid Structure Interaction), AUTODYN FSI, LS-DYNA ALE(Arbitrary Lagrange Eulerian) and combination of CONWEP and LS-DYNA ALE for blast door fracture and wave propagation through the tunnel by the external explosion. We compared the numerical analysis results with the subscale test data and selected combination of CONWEP and LS-DYNA ALE method as adequate data generation method for the FRM(Fast Running Model) software development. It is expected to save much time and costs by using the numerical simulation data for the various test conditions.

Sustainable energy generation is becoming extremely imperative due to the expected limitations in current energy resources and to reduce pollution. Especially, because of its considerable energy potential, ocean wave energy has been investigated with regard to power generation. To develop large high power wave generator system, it is important to make a small scale proto type and to test that. Thus the objective of this research is to examine the characteristics of a mechanically excited generator system having small power capacity experimentally. The water reservoir (4 m length, 1.5 m width and 1.8 m depth) having a wave maker to make arbitrary height and period of the water wave was made. The proto type consists of three main parts; a buoy, rack-pinion base one-way mechanism, and a wave generator(Fig.1). The water wave is going up and down and the hexahedron buoy is following the wave. The rack gear attached to the buoy is also going up and down to roll the pinion connected to an electric generator then it produces electricity. The experiments were performed with several conditions of water waves, and the power outputs over 30 W could be measured for some conditions. In future works, to achieve higher performance for the proto type, the effects of primary parameters (buoy shape and mass, etc.) on the system efficiency will be identified.

진동 수주형 파력 발전 브이는 해상에 설치되는 시스템으로 내부 지름 및 내부 유입 저항에 의하여 출력이 결정된다. 해상에 설치되는 진동 수주의 경우 내부에 패류의 증착에 의하여 내부 지름이 줄어들게 된다. 또한 패류의 증착에 의하여 유입되는 해수의 저항이 증가하게 되어 파력 발전 효율을 급감시킨다. 본 논문에서는 AFS을 이용하여 해양 구조물에 패류의 증착을 억제하는 실험을 수행하였다. Buck converter를 이용하여 전극봉에 흐르는 전류량을 제어하였다. 또한 기존 선박의 AFS와 달리 해양 구조물에 적합한 AFS제어 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 실험 결과 AFS을 통하여 조류 증착을 방지할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The freak wave, also known as New-Year-Wave in the north Atlantic, is relatively large and spontaneous ocean surface wave that can sink even large ships and destroy maritime structures. To understand oceanic conditions that develop freak waves, we simulated and generated two versions of scale-downed waves (1:64 and 1:42) in a numerical wave tank and compared the results with the experiment in wave flume. Both of the breaking and non-breaking waves were generated in the simulation. The numerical simulation was implemented based on the finite volume method and a genetic optimization algorithm. Random values were assigned as the initial values for the parameter in the control function, which produced signals representing the motion of wave-maker. The same signal obtained from the optimization process was used for both of the simulation and the experiment. By varying the object function and restrictions of the simulation, a best profile of design wave was selected based on the characteristics, height and period of simulated waves. Results showed that the simulation and experiment with the scale of 1:42 agreed better with freak waves in the natural condition. The presented simulation method will contribute to saving the time and cost for conducting subsequent response analyses of motion under freak waves in the course of the model test for ship and maritime structure.

The objective of this investigation is to develop an efficient method to generate and measure torsional waves in non-ferromagnetic waveguides by using magnetostrictive transducers. In existing methods using a nickel strip that is attached circumferentially to the test specimen such as aluminum pipes, large current input to the magnetostrictive transducer often generates undesired wave modes in addition to desired torsional wave. However, we propose an improved method to generate the torsional waves without being accompanied by other undesirable wave modes regardless of the input current magnitude. The specific transducer configuration and its performance will be presented in the present investigation.

Electron microbursts are the intense electron precipitation which durations are less than one second. We measured the energy spectra of the microbursts from 170 keV to 340 keV with solid state detectors aboard the low-altitude (680km), polar-orbiting Korean STSAT-1 (Science and Technology SATellite). The data showed that the loss cone at these energies is empty except when microbursts abruptly appear and fill the loss cone in less than 50 msec. This fast loss cone filling requires pitch angle diffusion coefficients larger than ~ 10-2rad2/sec, while ~10-5 rad2/sec was proposed by a wave particle interaction theory. We recalculated the diffusion coefficient, and reviewed of electron microburst generation mechanism with test particle simulations. This simulation successfully explained how chorus waves make pitch angle diffusion within such short period. From considering the resonance condition between wave and electrons, we also showed ~ 100 keV electrons could be easily aligned to the magnetic field, while ~ 1MeV electrons filled loss cone partially. This consideration explained why precipitating microbursts have lower e-folding energy than that of quasi-trapped electrons, and supports the theory that relativistic electron microbursts that have been observed by satellite in-situ measurement have same origin with ~100 keV electron microbursts that have been usually observed by balloon experiments.
