As renewable energy penetration continues to increase, the output variability and forecasting uncertainty of photovoltaic generation have emerged as major operational risks in power systems. This study establishes a sensor-based data quality control procedure to ensure the reliability of meteorological data collected at a PV plant. For temperature, humidity, and wind speed, a four stage QC process physical range check, persistence check, step change check, and median filtering was applied. Solar radiation, which exhibits strong temporal and distributional characteristics, was processed using a three-stage QC procedure consisting of physical range, step change, and frequency distribution checks. Using the quality-controlled meteorological data, PV generation forecasting was performed with SVM and XGBoost models. As a result, the MAPE values improved to 6.32% for SVM and 6.08% for XGBoost after QC application. The findings confirm that meteorological data quality control significantly enhances PV forecasting accuracy and can support future strategies for distributed energy resource management, curtailment mitigation, and power system risk reduction.

This study examined the simultaneous application of absorption and adsorption by adding granular activated carbon to tap water (Absorbent-A) and sodium hypochlorite (Absorbent-B), with the aim of improving the removal performance of gaseous acetaldehyde applying hybrid process. Prior to the main experiment, preliminary tests were conducted to assess the effects of HOCl concentration (50~150 ppm) and reactor temperature (25~35oC). In the main experiment, the removal performance under activated carbon-added conditions was compared using the concentration ratio (Co/ Ci) and its rate of change over time. As a result, the addition of activated carbon led to a more gradual saturation and concentration change compared to the non-addition condition, with the addition showing the most stable trend. This study suggests a basic reference for improving the performance of conventional absorbents enhancing the durability and efficiency with the activated carbon as an auxiliary material for future field applications.

In this study, a response model of a beam structure was established through finite element analysis by analyzing the vibration response to external excitation. The vibration control performance of the beam was then evaluated by applying the narrow-band Fx-LMS algorithm for active structural control. The transfer function was obtained at the error sensor location when the structure was excited and the three-axis actuator was operated. The performance of the active control was investigated with 18 channels for error input and actuator output. When the equipment is exciting, the response of the error sensor is the primary path, and when the inertial 3-axis actuator operates, the response of the error sensor position is the secondary path, and the Fx-LMS algorithm is applied. The simulation was performed by changing the control parameters so that the response of the error sensor can satisfy the target performance. From the results of this study, the acceleration results over time showed about 70% vibration reduction after active control, and the average error value of the error sensor also decreased by about 68%. In addition, it was confirmed that real-time control of a system with 18 sensors and 18 actuators is possible even if the secondary path is configured in two orders.

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.

선박 발전기의 여자기는 출력 단자 전압을 일정하게 유지하기 위하여 여자전류 제어를 통해 자속을 조정한다. 여자기 내부에 있는 전압제어기는 통상적으로 비례 적분 제어방식이 사용되는데 게인과 시정수에 의해 결정되는 응답 특성은 적절치 못한 설정값에 의 해 원하지 않는 출력을 내며 이로 인해 선내 전력의 품질과 안정성을 떨어뜨릴 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE에서 제공하는 AC4A 타입의 여자기 모델을 통해 얻을 수 있는 안정적인 입출력 데이터를 활용하여 신경망 회로를 학습시킨 후 기존의 비례 적분 제어방식의 전압제 어기를 학습된 신경망 회로 제어기로 대체하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 그 결과 기존 대비 최대 9.63%까지 오버슈팅이 개선되었으며, 안정적인 응답 특성에 대한 우수성을 확인하였다.

일반적인 불투과형 사방댐은 제체 대부분이 콘크리트로 구성되어 분리 및 해체가 어려워 조속한 보강이 난해하다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위한 투과형 강재 스크린 사방댐이 제작되어 사용 중에 있지만, 강재가 부식되는 등 여러 문제를 보이는 실정이다. 이에 따라, 선행 연구에서는 강재 스크린 구조물을 내부식성이 뛰어난 GFRP로 대체하여 성능 및 안전 성을 검증하였지만, 동수압만 고려되는 등 다양한 조건이 고려되지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 그렇기에 본 연구에서는 선행 연구 에서 수행된 GFRP 스크린 구조물뿐만 아니라, CFRP도 고려하였으며, 보다 다양한 표면 유속 별 하중 조건 및 유목, 토석류 등 과 같은 다양한 조건에서의 성능 비교 및 안전성 평가를 수행하였다. 해석 결과, GFRP와 CFRP는 강재 대비 제체에 작용하는 응력이 29.79∼91.73%가량 감소된 성능을 보이며, 이 외에도 충분한 안전성과 경제성을 겸비함을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 GFRP 및 CFPR 스크린 구조물은 강재 투과형 사방댐을 대체하여 사용하기에 충분하다고 판단되지만, 이는 수치 해석을 통한 결과이 므로 향후 실제 실험이 진행될 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Tuned mass damper (TMD) is widely used to reduce dynamic responses of structures subjected to earthquake loads. A smart tuned mass damper (STMD) was proposed to increase control performance of a traditional passive TMD. A lot of research was conducted to investigate the control performance of a STMD based on analytical method. Experimental study of evaluation of control performance of a STMD was not widely conducted to date. Therefore, seismic response reduction capacity of a STMD was experimentally investigated in this study. For this purpose, a STMD was manufactured using an MR (magnetorheological) damper. A simple structure presenting dynamic characteristics of spacial roof structure was made as a test structure. A STMD was made to control vertical responses of the test structure. Two artificial ground motions and a resonance harmonic load were selected as experimental seismic excitations. Shaking table test was conducted to evaluate control performance of a STMD. Control algorithms are one of main factors affect control performance of a STMD. In this study, a groundhook algorithm that is a traditional semi-active control algorithm was selected. And fuzzy logic controller (FLC) was used to control a STMD. The FLC was optimized by multi-objective genetic algorithm. The experimental results presented that the TMD can effectively reduce seismic responses of the example structures subjected to various excitations. It was also experimentally shown that the STMD can more effectively reduce seismic responses of the example structures conpared to the passive TMD.

The TMD has a simpler structure than other vibration control devices and shows excellent control performance for the standardized vibration occurring in the structure. However, when the vibration cycle of the structure coincides with the vibration cycle of the TMD due to the sudden external loads, the off-tuning occurs, which threatens the structure while increasing the vibration width of the TMD. Therefore, Electromagnetic Tuned Mass Damper (ETMD) was developed as a semi-active TMD that prevents off-tuning while exhibiting excellent control performance like TMD. To verify the control performance of the developed ETMD, the bending behavior control performance evaluation experiment using a simple beam bridge was performed. The experimental method compared the mutual control power by experimenting with the existing TMD method and the developed ETMD under nine excitation frequency conditions. As a result, it was confirmed that the control effect of ETMD was about 4.85% higher than that of TMD at 3.02Hz, which generates the maximum displacement in the simple beam bridge. Also, the off-tuning occurred in some excitation conditions when using TMD, although the off-tuning did not occur when using ETMD. Therefore, the excellent control performance of the ETMD developed in this study was verified.

The Calorifier is a device that supplies hot water to the crew for showering and cooking. In particular, problems such as hot water not coming out when a trainee and a crew member take a shower at the same time may occur due to a malfunction of the temperature control valve that controls the temperature. In particular, when the hot water usage time is almost constant, such as a training ship, a high calorific value is required. When there is no dissatisfaction with the use of hot water, satisfaction with the educational environment is improved. Therefore, in this study, a solenoid temperature control valve is applied to increase satisfaction with hot water use, and a mechanical time switch is applied to the hot water circulating water pump to save energy.
