The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the impact range of explosion damage due to gas leaks at LPG filling stations, focusing on propane and butane, which are components of vehicle LPG. The scenarios were designed based on the explosion incident at an LPG filling station in Gangwon-do, where an actual gas leak accident occurred, resulting in Scenario I and Scenario II. The ALOHA program, developed by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), was used as the tool to analyze the impact range of the explosion damage for both substances. The results of the study indicated that, under identical conditions, propane had a wider impact range of damage than butane. This is presumed to be due to the greater explosion energy of propane, attributable to its physicochemical properties. Therefore, when preparing for LPG leak accidents, measures for propane need to be prioritized. As safety measures for propane, two suggestions were made to minimize human casualties. First, from a preventive perspective, it is suggested to educate workers about propane. Second, from the perspective of response measures and damage minimization, it is suggested to thoroughly prepare emergency evacuation and rescue plans, evacuation routes, designated shelters, and emergency response teams. This study compares and analyzes the impact range of radiative heat damage based on LPG components. However, hazardous accidents are critically influenced by the type of leaking substance, the form of the leak, and meteorological factors affecting the diffusion pattern of the substance. Therefore, for future research, it is proposed to model various leakage scenarios for the same substance to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment.

An in-wheel motor is a system in which a drive motor is mounted inside a wheel along with a braking device, and the motor inside the wheel directly drives the wheel. An SR motor drive in replace of the conventional PM motor drive for in-wheel motor system has been proposed and analyzed. Two different types of converters were selected and their feasibility in terms of different current control schemes was analyzed and validated through dynamic simulation using PSIM software.

In this paper, a tidal power conversion system (PCS) using seawater level differences was presented.. To verify the presented PCS, an actual lab-scale tidal power generation system was constructed. The operation of the lab-scale PCS was first modeled mathematically and was analyzed through dynamic simulation and experimental tests.

This paper presents the torque ripple reduction control to apply an SRM to the X-by-wire drive systems which replaces the mechanical control method with “by-wire” to secure the flexibility of design and modification. However, torque ripples generated from the SRM can affect the performance and stability of the system. The proposed torque ripple control schemes are compared with the previously studied methods by dynamic simulation in regards to torque distribution functions and instant torque controller.

This paper proposes predictive deadbeat current control, one of the model predictive controls. The predictive deadbeat control is compared to the conventional current control methods to validate its feasibility in X-by-Wire systems.

In this paper, 1kW prototype PCS for tidal power generation system, which is attracting attention as the next-generation renewable energy, is studied. Tidal power generation is a method of producing energy using the difference between the tides. The advantage of tidal generators is that, unlike other renewable energies such as wave power, wind power, and solar power, they are relatively less affected by the weather changes and are regularly produced at regular intervals.

참나무시들음병 매개충인 광릉긴나무좀(Platypus koryoensis (Murayama))(Coleoptera: Platypodidae)의 에탄올과 신갈나무 수피 추출 물의 유인효과에 대하여 조사하였다. 유인트랩과 유인목 시험에서는 에탄올과 신갈나무 수피 추출물을 사용한 처리구가 대조구(무처리)보다 높 은 유인효과를 나타내었으나, 두 유인제 간의 유의성은 찾지 못하였다. 유인목의 직경별 침입공 수를 비교한 결과, 침입공 수는 직경이 클수록 증 가하였다. 유인목의 횡단면 상부와 하부 침입공 수를 비교한 결과, 상부보다 하부에 침입공이 많았고, 통계적으로 유의한 차이(p<0.05)를 나타내 었는데, 이는 직사광선에 의한 건조가 적은 하부가 매개충의 먹이가 되는 미생물 번식에 유리하기 때문이라고 추정되었다. 결과적으로 신갈나무 수피 추출물보다 비용 면에서 경제적인 에탄올이 광릉긴나무좀 모니터링 및 방제에 효율적으로 활용될 수 있을 것이며, 신갈나무 수피 추출물은 효율을 높일 수 있는 계속적인 연구의 필요성이 있다.
