‘2050 탄소중립’ 달성 및 ’국가 온실가스 감축목표(NDC)‘ 상향 등의 환경변화에 대응 하기 위해 2023년 6월 13일 ｢분산에너지 활성화 특별법｣이 제정되고 2024년 6월 14일 시행되고 있다. ｢분산에너지 활성화 특별법｣ 대규모 발전소 건설과 장거리 송전망 건 설 등을 기반한 중앙집중형 전력체계에서 비롯되는 지역 수용성에 대한 사회적 갈등을 해소하고, 수요지 인근의 발전소를 중심으로 전력을 생산하고 소비가 가능한 시스템으 로서 분산에너지를 활성화하고 전력수급의 안정성을 증대하여 에너지 공급체계의 저 탄소화를 위한 것이다. 해양에너지는 전력을 추출할 경우에도 출력 변동이 생기고 육상으로의 송전에 과도 한 비용이 들어서 전 세계적으로 아직 본격적인 실용화 단계에는 이르지 못하였으므 로 해양에너지는 경제적으로 개발비용을 줄이고 안정성과 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있다면 해양에너지의 실용화와 수익성의 확보로 해양에너지 발전사업이 탄력을 받을 것이다. 이러한 점에서 ｢분산에너지 활성화 특별법｣의 시행은 해양에너지의 확대에 기여할 것으로 보인다. 본 논문에서는 쟁점으로는 ① 해양에너지의 수익성 확보와 ② 해양 신재생에너지 사용으로 인한 분산에너지의 간헐성의 문제 및 ③「분산에너지법」의 등록, 사인의 공법행위에 대한 법적 쟁점을 검토한다. 또한「분산에너지 활성화 특별법」의 개선방안에 대해서는 우선 해양에너지의 수 익성 확보를 위한 것으로 ① 분산에너지 범위의 확대 ② 분산에너지특화지역 활성화 ③ 전기사용자의 공급자 선택권의 보완 ④ 지역별 전기요금의 산정근거 확립 ⑤ 분 산에너지의 편익 산정 등을 검토하였고, 두 번째 해양에너지의 간헐성 대책 보완으로 ① 해양 신재생에너지 발전설비 정비 촉진 구역의 지정 ② 분산에너지 통합발전소사 업(VPP) 구축 및 그 밖의 제도적 보완 등을 살펴본다. ｢분산에너지 활성화 특별법｣은 분산에너지의 활성화를 위한 기반이 마련됐다는 점 에서 분명 의미가 있지만 거대한 기득권에 밀려 아직은 갈 길이 멀다. 분산에너지 보급과 확대에 필요한 실효성이 있는 제도를 규정하여야 할 뿐만 아니 라 지원방법에 대해서도 보완하여야 할 것이다.

High-rise buildings are equipped with TMD (Tuned Mass Damper), a vibration control device that ensure the stability and usability of the building. In this study, the seismic response control performance was evaluated by selecting the design variables of the TMD based on the installation location of the twisted irregular building. To this end, we selected analysis models of 60, 80, and 100 floors with a twist angle of 1 degree per floor, and performed time history analysis by applying historical seismic loads and resonant harmonic loads. The total mass ratio of TMDs was set to 1.0%, and the distributed installation locations of TMDs were selected through mode analysis. The analysis results showed that the top-floor displacement responses of all analysis models increased, but the maximum story drift ratio decreased. In order to secure the seismic response control performance by distributed installation of TMDs in twisted irregular buildings, it is judged that the mass ratio distribution of TMDs will act as a key variable.

This study focused on improving the solubility of silodosin, a drug poorly soluble in water, by utilizing solid dispersions. Three types of dispersions were examined and compared against the drug powder: surface-attached (SA), solvent-wetted (SW), and solvent-evaporated (SE). Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was identified as the most effective polymer in enhancing solubility. These dispersions were prepared using spray-drying techniques with silodosin and PVA as the polymer, employing solvents such as water, ethanol, and a water-acetone mix. The physicochemical properties and solubility of the dispersions were evaluated. The surface-attached dispersions featured the polymer on a crystalline drug surface, the solvent-wetted dispersions had the amorphous drug on the polymer, and the solvent-evaporated dispersions produced nearly round particles with both components amorphous. Testing revealed that the order of improved solubility was: solvent-evaporated, solvent-wetted, and surface-attached. The results demonstrated that the preparation method of the solid dispersions significantly impacted their physicochemical properties and solubility enhancement.

Al2O3 has excellent sintering properties and is important in semiconductor manufacturing processes that require high-temperature resistance and chemical inertness in a plasma environment. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of the chemical characteristics, physical properties, crystal structure, and dispersion stability of three commercially available Al2O3 powders was conducted. The aim was to provide a technological foundation for selecting and utilizing appropriate Al2O3 powders in practical applications. All powders exhibited α-Al2O3 as the main phase, with the presence of beta-phase Na2O-11Al2O3 as the secondary phase. The highest Na+ ion leaching was observed in the aqueous slurry state due to the presence of the secondary phase. Although the average particle size difference among the three powders was not significant, distinct differences in particle size distribution were observed. ALG-1SH showed a broad particle size distribution, P162 exhibited a bimodal distribution, and AES-11 displayed a uniform unimodal distribution. Highconcentration Al2O3 slurries showed differences in viscosity due to ion release when no dispersant was added, affecting the electrical double-layer thickness. Polycarboxylate was found to effectively enhance the dispersion stability of all three powders. In the dispersion stability analysis, ALG-1SH exhibited the slowest sedimentation tendency, as evidenced by the low TSI value, while P162 showed faster precipitation, influenced by the particle size distribution.

The theoretical capacity of silicon-based anode materials is more than 10 times higher than the capacity of graphite, so silicon can be used as an alternative to graphite anode materials. However, silicon has a much higher contraction and expansion rate due to lithiation of the anode material during the charge and discharge processes, compared to graphite anode materials, resulting in the pulverization of silicon particles during repeated charge and discharge. To compensate for the above issues, there is a growing interest in SiOx materials with a silica or carbon coating to minimize the expansion of the silicon. In this study, spherical silica (SiO2) was synthesized using TEOS as a starting material for the fabrication of such SiOx through heating in a reduction atmosphere. SiOx powder was produced by adding PVA as a carbon source and inducing the reduction of silica by the carbothermal reduction method. The ratio of TEOS to distilled water, the stirring time, and the amount of PVA added were adjusted to induce size and morphology, resulting in uniform nanosized spherical silica particles. For the reduction of the spherical monodisperse silica particles, a nitrogen gas atmosphere mixed with 5 % hydrogen was applied, and oxygen atoms in the silica were selectively removed by the carbothermal reduction method. The produced SiOx powder was characterized by FE-SEM to examine the morphology and size changes of the particles, and XPS and FT-IR were used to examine the x value (O/Si ratio) of the synthesized SiOx.

본 논문에서는 다중 시그마포인트 세트(MSP)를 사용하는 분산점 칼만필터(UKF)인 UKF-MSP를 소개한다. 비선형 동적시스템을 표현하기 위해 널리 알려진 Bouc-Wen 모델을 사용하였고, 비선형성 고려가 가능한 칼만필터 중 UKF를 선정하였다. 그런데 UKF는 두 가지 인공오차와 시그마포인트의 분포를 결정하는 스케일링 파라미터의 값을 튜닝(Tuning)하는 과정을 통해 적절히 설정해야만 대상 동적시스템의 추정하고자 하는 상태(State)를 정확히 추정할 수가 있다. 본 논문에서는 후자의 스케일링 파라미터 설정 문제를 완화하고자 하였으며, MSP를 사용함으로써 기존 UKF에 비해 칼만필터 튜닝 과정에 덜 민감한 UKF-MSP를 제안하였다. 지진으로 인한 급격한 구조손상 시나리오에 대해 UKF-MSP의 안정성을 검증하였다. 제안된 방법은 튜닝과정을 완화함과 동시에 다른 칼만필 터 파라미터인 인공오차에 대해서도 덜 민감한 거동을 보임을 확인하였다.

In wastewater treatment, an emulsion polymer automatic dissolving system is used to mix and dissolve the polymer used as a polymer coagulant with water before it is put into the dissolution tank. In this study, a disperser is developed to mix water and emulsion polymer better in the dissolving system. For this purpose, the flow analysis of the three disperser models was performed to select the disperser for the emulsion polymer automatic dissolving system with the best performance. The excellence of mixing was evaluated by grasping the flow uniformity and the vorticit in the disperser, and it was confirmed that the TYPE3 disperser was excellent.

In this study, crystallization was effectively suppressed in Al-based metallic glasses (Al-MGs) during pulverization by cryo-milling by applying an extremely low processing temperature and using a surfactant. Before Al-MGs can be used as an additive in Ag paste for solar cells, the particle sizes of the Al-MGs must be reduced by milling. However, during the ball milling process crystallization of the Al-MG is a problem. Once the Al-MG is crystallized, they no longer exhibit glass-like behavior, such as thermoplastic deformation, which is critical to decrease the electrical resistance of the Ag electrode. The main reason for crystallization during the ball milling process is the heat generated by collisions between the particles and the balls, or between the particles. Once the heat reaches the crystallization temperature of the Al-MGs, they start crystallization. Another reason for the crystallization is agglomeration of the particles. If the initially fed particles become severely agglomerated, they coalesce instead of being pulverized during the milling. The coalesced particles experience more collisions and finally crystallize. In this study, the heat generated during milling was suppressed by using cryo-milling with liquid-nitrogen, which was regularly fed into the milling jar. Also, the MG powders were dispersed using a surfactant before milling, so that the problem of agglomeration was resolved. Cryo-milling with the surfactant led to D50 = 10 um after 6 h milling, and we finally achieved a specific contact resistance of 0.22 mΩcm2 and electrical resistivity of 2.81 μΩcm using the milled MG particles.

We propose a method for developing an in-pipe inspection robot based on multiple inertial sensors. Estimating the position of underground pipelines where satellite signals do not reach remains challenging. High-precision inertial sensors and high-tech mobile robots can be solutions, but their high price limits their general use. We developed an in-pipe inspection robot by combining various low-cost sensors with a microcomputer-based RC car platform. First, we fabricated a multi-inertial sensors module by combining commercial grade low-cost MEMS inertial sensors. The sensor values measured by the multi-inertial sensor are transmitted to the main computer through the MCU, and the attitude angle of the vehicle is finally calculated through the inverse variance weighted average. The travel distance of the robot is estimated by using hall sensors and neodymium magnets attached to the inside of the wheels. Also, we measured the pipe diameter using multiple ultrasonic sensors. We verified the estimation accuracy of each sensor through experiments and consequently estimated the 3D trajectory of the in-pipe robot.

This paper proposes a method to improve the position control synchronization performance by synchronizing the controller operation between servo drives based on the synchronization signal of the EtherCAT(Ethernet for Control Automation Technology)distributed clock. In order to synchronize the operation of the controller between the servo drives, the phase of the operating frequency of the PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) module for motor control was synchronized based on the synchronization signal. At this time, the operation sequence of the current, speed, and position controller of the servo drive operating based on the PWM operating frequency was rearranged. Therefore, the servo drives on the network run the same controller at the same time. And the time at which the master's command is reflected to the drive's controller and the time at which the drive's status information is acquired coincided among the drives. After establishing an experimental environment in which servo drives are arranged in the EthercCAT network system, we verified that the position synchronization performance between servo drives applying the proposed method is improved.

For the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ammonia (NH3-SCR), a V2O5WO3/TiO2 (VW/nTi) catalyst was prepared using V2O5 and WO3 on a nanodispersed TiO2 (nTi) support by simple impregnation process. The nTi support was dispersed for 0~3 hrs under controlled bead-milling in ethanol. The average particle size (D50) of nTi was reduced from 582 nm to 93 nm depending on the milling time. The NOx activity of these catalysts with maximum temperature shift was influenced by the dispersion of the TiO2. For the V0.5W2/nTi-0h catalyst, prepared with 582 nm nTi-0h before milling, the decomposition temperature with over 94 % NOx conversion had a narrow temperature window, within the range of 365-391 °C. Similarly, the V0.5W2/nTi-2h catalyst, prepared with 107 nm nTi-2h bead-milled for 2hrs, showed a broad temperature window in the range of 358~450 °C. However, the V0.5W2/Ti catalyst (D50 = 2.4 μm, aqueous, without milling) was observed at 325-385 °C. Our results could pave the way for the production of effective NOx decomposition catalysts with a higher temperature range. This approach is also better at facilitating the dispersion on the support material. NH3-TPD, H2-TPR, FT-IR, and XPS were used to investigate the role of nTi in the DeNOx catalyst.

Production management in the automobile parts industry is carried out according to the production plan of the customer, so it is important to prevent shortages in product supply. As the product composition became increasingly complex, the MES System was built for the purpose of efficient production plan management and inventory management, but its utilization is low. This study analyzed the problems of the MES system and sought to improve it. Through previous studies, it was confirmed that the inventory management of the pull approach that actually occurred in the warehouse is more suitable than the push approach based on the forecast of the warehouse for the volatility, complexity, and uncertainty of orders in the auto parts industry. To realize this, we tried distributed MRP by using the ADO function of VBA to link the standard information of the MES system with Excel and change the structure of the BOM table. Through this, it can help increase the accuracy of production planning and realize efficient inventory management, thereby increasing the utilization of the MES system in the auto parts industry and enhancing the competitiveness of the company.

The PoN (Proof of Nonce) distributed consensus algorithm basically uses a non-competitive consensus method that can guarantee an equal opportunity for all nodes to participate in the block generation process, and this method was expected to resolve the first trilemma of the blockchain, called the decentralization problem. However, the decentralization performance of the PoN distributed consensus algorithm can be greatly affected by the network transaction transmission delay characteristics of the nodes composing the block chain system. In particular, in the consensus process, differences in network node performance may significantly affect the composition of the congress and committee on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, in this paper, we presented a problem by analyzing the decentralization performance of the PoN distributed consensus algorithm, and suggested a fairness control algorithm using a learning-based probabilistic acceptance rule to improve it. In addition, we verified the superiority of the proposed algorithm by conducting a numerical experiment, while considering the block chain systems composed of various heterogeneous characteristic systems with different network transmission delay.
