  • 본 논문에서는 복합 미생물 배양기의 제어시스템을 제안하였다. 제안하는 제어시스템은 복합 미생물 배양기의 제어부, 통신부, 전원부, 제어시스템 등으로 구성된다. 복합 미생물 배양기의 제어부는 아날로그 신호와 디지털 신호의 변환, LCD 패널을 이용한 디스플레이, 수위센서, 온도센서, pH 농도센서 등과 같은 센서들의 신호 제어를 하도록 설계 및 제작한다. 사용하는 수위센서는 기존 수위센서가 거품과 같은 이물질 등으로 인해 측정이 어려운 문제점을 해결하고자 직진성이 우수한 IR 레이저 방식을 사용하여 정확한 수위 측정이 가능하도록 설계 및 제작한다. 온도센서는 열 저항 원리를 사용하여 측정함으로써, 높은 정확도와 누적 저항 오차가 없도록 설계하여 사용한다. 통신부는 2개의 LAN 포트와 1개의 RS-232 포트로 구성하여 복합 미생물 배양기에서 사용되는 LCD 패널, PCT 패널, 로드셀 컨트롤러 등의 신호를 제어부에 전달할 수 있도록 설계 및 제작한다. 전원부는 제어부와 통신부가 원활하게 동작할 수 있도록 24V, 12V 5V 등 3개의 전압 공급 단자로 구성하여 전원을 공급하도록 설계 및 제작한다. 복합 미생물 배양기의 제어시스템은 PLC를 사용하여 pH 농도센서, 온도센서, 수위센서 등의 센서값과 배양에 사용되는 써큘레이션 펌프, 써큘레이션 밸브, 로터리 펌프와 인버터 로드셀 등의 동작을 제어한다. 제안된 복합 미생물 배양기의 제어시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 공인인증기관에서 실험한 결과는 수위 측정감도의 범위가 -0.41mm~1.59mm로, 물 온도의 변화 폭이 ±0.41℃로 현재 상용으로 판매되는 제품들 성능보다 우수한 성능으로 동작됨이 확인되었다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 제안한 복합 미생물 배양기의 제어시스템의 효용성이 입증되었다.

  • In this work, a neuro-fuzzy inference system combined with the wavelet denoising, PCA (principal component analysis) and SPRT (sequential probability ratio test) methods is developed to detect the relevant sensor failure using other sensor signals. The wavelet denoising technique is applied to remove noise components in input signals into the neuro-fuzzy system The PCA is used to reduce the dimension of an input space without losing a significant amount of information. The PCA makes easy the selection of the input signals into the neuro-fuzzy system. Also, a lower dimensional input space usually reduces the time necessary to train a neuro-fuzzy system. The parameters of the neuro-fuzzy inference system which estimates the relevant sensor signal are optimized by a genetic algorithm and a least-squares algorithm. The residuals between the estimated signals and the measured signals are used to detect whether the sensors are failed or not. The SPRT is used in this failure detection algorithm. The proposed sensor-monitoring algorithm was verified through applications to the pressurizer water level and the hot-leg flowrate sensors in pressurized water reactors.

  • In the present study, we developed a real-time radiation-monitoring sensor for an underwater radiation-monitoring system and evaluated its effectiveness using reference radiation sources. The monitoring sensor was designed and miniaturized using a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) and a cerium-doped-gadolinium-aluminum-gallium-garnet (Ce:GAGG) scintillator, and an underwater wireless monitoring system was implemented by employing a remote Bluetooth communication module. An acrylic water tank and reference radiation sources ($^{137}Cs$, $^{90}Sr$) were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the monitoring sensor. The underwater monitoring sensor's detection response and efficiency for gamma rays and beta particles as well as the linearity of the response according to the gammaray intensity were verified through an evaluation. This evaluation is expected to contribute to the development of base technology for an underwater radiation-monitoring system.

  • 토마토를 대상으로 암면과 코이어를 사용한 자루재배에서 일사량제어와 배액전극제어법의 급액제어 능력을 실험한 결과, 배지 종류에 관계없이 일사량제어법에 비해 배액전극제어법에서 배지함수량과 배액량이 안정 적이었다. 총수확량과 상품과량은 배액전극제어법에서 많았으며, 동일한 급액제어 처리 안에서는 배지간 차이는 없었다. 당도는 급액제어 방법의 차이보다는 배지의 종류에 영향을 많이 받았다. 배액전극제어법은 펄라이트뿐만 아니라 암면과 코이어배지에서도 범용적으로 일사량제어법에 비해 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

  • The rapid development in modern industrialization pollutant the water and atmospheric air across the globe that have a major impact on the human and livings health. In worldwide, every country government increasing the importance to improve the outdoor air pollution monitoring and control to provide quality of life and prevent the citizens and livings life from hazard disease. We proposed the environmental dust level detection method for outdoor facilities using sensor fusion technology to measure precise micro-dust level and monitor in realtime. In this proposed approach use the camera sensor and commercial dust level sensor data to predict the micro-dust level with data fusion method. The camera sensor based dust level detection uses the optical flow based machine learning method to detect the dust level and then fused with commercial dust level sensor data to predict the precise micro-dust level of the outdoor facilities and send the dust level informations to the outdoor air pollution monitoring system. The proposed method implemented on raspberry pi based open-source hardware with Internet-of-Things (IoT) framework and evaluated the performance of the system in realtime. The experimental results confirm that the proposed micro-dust level detection is precise and reliable in sensing the air dust and pollution, which helps to indicate the change in the air pollution more precisely than the commercial sensor based method in some extent.

  • The atmospheric infrared sounder (AIRS) sensor loaded on the Aqua satellite observes the global vertical structure of atmosphere and enables verification of the water vapor distribution over the entire area of South Korea. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis of the accuracy of the total precipitable water (TPW) provided as the AIRS level 2 standard retrieval product by Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) over the South Korean area using the global positioning system (GPS) TPW data. The analysis TPW for the period of one year in 2008 showed that the accuracy of the data produced by the combination of the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit sensor with the AIRS sensor to correct the effect of clouds (AIRS-X) was higher than that of the AIRS IR-only data (AIRS-I). The annual means of the root mean square error with reference to the GPS data were 5.2 kg/$m^2$ and 4.3 kg/$m^2$ for AIRS-I and AIRS-X, respectively. The accuracy of AIRS-X was higher in summer than in winter while measurement values of AIRS-I and AIRS-X were lower than those of GPS TPW to some extent.

  • Safety-related parameters are very important for confirming the status of a nuclear power plant. In particular, the reactor vessel water level has a direct impact on the safety fortress by confirming reactor core cooling. In this study, the reactor vessel water level under the condition of a severe accident, where the water level could not be measured, was predicted using a fuzzy neural network (FNN). The prediction model was developed using training data, and validated using independent test data. The data was generated from simulations of the optimized power reactor 1000 (OPR1000) using MAAP4 code. The informative data for training the FNN model was selected using the subtractive clustering method. The prediction performance of the reactor vessel water level was quite satisfactory, but a few large errors were occasionally observed. To check the effect of instrument errors, the prediction model was verified using data containing artificially added errors. The developed FNN model was sufficiently accurate to be used to predict the reactor vessel water level in severe accident situations where the integrity of the reactor vessel water level sensor is compromised. Furthermore, if the developed FNN model can be optimized using a variety of data, it should be possible to predict the reactor vessel water level precisely.

  • 용존 유기물의 농도를 BOD로 신속히 측정하여 폐수처리 공정에 feed back할 수 있는 Yeast BOD sensor 를 제작하여 BOD 측정의 거동을 조사하였다. BOD sensor의 감응도는 yeast의 활성이 가장 높은 pH 7.0 및 온도 $30^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높게 나타났다. Sensor에 충전되는 효모의 양도 감응도에 영향을 미치며 투석막 단위면적당 $ 0.14\;mg/cm^2$가 최적의 균체량이었다. 오염물질의 종류에 따라 BOD sensor의 출력 신호가 다르게 나타났으며 각각의 오염물질 속에 효모균를 전처리 시킨 후 sensor에 충전할 경우 sensor 의 감응도가 크게 증가하였다.

  • A simple water level measurement method based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is proposed and demonstrated. The measurement principle is based on the change of Fresnel reflection occurring at the end facet of the optical fiber tip (OFT). To increase the spatial resolution of water level sensing, a broadband light source (BLS) and an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) are employed. The OFTs are multiplexed with the dedicated wavelength channels of AWG. By measuring all of the reflection powers reflected at the OFTs with a proposed on-site reflectometer, the water level can be monitored continuously for a fast emergency response. Moreover, it can be implemented easily with the commercially available optical components and devices with the simple configuration.
