최근 점점 더 많은 연구자와 정부에서 해양에너지 자원 개발에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 장죽수도는 조류에너지 밀도가 높아 조류 발전소를 건설하기에 적합한 잠재적 후보지 중 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ADCIRC 모델을 이용하여 장죽수도의 조류자원의 잠재량을 평가하기 위한 수치적 접근방식을 제시하고, 내부 코드를 이용하여 조석 특성을 입력 매개변수로 활용하여 1 MW급 규모의 조류에너지 변환장치를 대상으로 4개의 레이아웃으로 배열하고 후류 효과로 인한 연간 에너지 생산량에 관한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 효율이 가장 좋은 배치는 연간 최대 12.96 GWh/year의 에너지를 생성할 수 있으며, 이 값은 후류 효과로 인한 에너지 손실을 고려하 면 연간 0.16 GWh씩 감소될 수 있음을 보였다. 또한, 창낙조 때 터빈 요 각도를 변경함으로써 이 요소가 에너지 추출에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 터빈 배열은 터빈 요 각도가 346°와 164°(북쪽에서 시계 방향으로)일 때 대조기와 소조기에서 차례로 최대 조류 에너지를 얻 을 수 있었다.

In this study, the yaw misalignment value of wind turbine was measured using Lidar and it was analyzed the effect of vibration reduction and power performance improvement when applied to turbine. It was confirmed that the vibration of the main bearing and the gear box of the wind turbine was partially reduced. Also it was found that the output performance was improved when the wind speed was over 8m/s. As a result, it was also found that the annual energy production(AEP) was improved when the average annual wind speed of the wind farm was over 6m/s. Converted to AEP, the AEP improved about 1% and 4%, when the annual wind speed was 6m/s and 11m/s respectively, which resulted in an improvement of about 1~4% through the yaw misalignment correction of the wind turbine.

Active front steering(AFS) system is able not only to vary steering ratio between steering wheel and tire wheel but also to steer front tires independently. In this paper, steering gear ratios and an active steering algorithm are proposed for the AFS system. Steering gear ratio is a function of vehicle speed and steering angle. Active steering is generated when the error of yaw-rate is larger than some threshold. To verify the performance of yaw stability, hardware-in-the-loop simulation system is made up of column type active steering system, driving display, steering effort reaction system and controller

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether yaw head rotational reaction time and premotor time to visual stimuli in central and peripheral visual fields would improve with practice. Method: The task was to make a complete horizontal head rotation regardless of target eccentricity in two response conditions: TOWARD and AWAY conditions. In the TOWARD condition subjects rotated their head in the direction ipsilateral to target appearance for a congruent S-R response. In the AWAY condition subjects rotated their head contralateral to target appearance for an incongruent S-R response. All subjects participated in the following sequence of testing and training: (1) Pre-test, (2) Training (6 days over 2 weeks), and (3) Post-test. Measures associated with yaw head rotations involved with reaction time, premotor time and electromechanical delay. Results: Results revealed shorter yaw head rotation RT in TOWARD and AWAY conditions after 6 days of practice in TOWARD and AWAY conditions. We found the greater observations especially for the centrally placed target. Conclusion: These results suggest greater performance improvements were observed for most subjects when practice and testing were within the same condition, indicating support for the well-known learning specificity phenomena.

The field of robots is being widely accepted as a new technology today. Many robots are produced continuously to impart amusement to people. Especially the robot which operates with a wheelbarrow was enough of a work of art to arouse excitement in the audiences. All the wheelbarrow robots share the same technology in that the direction of roll and pitch are acting as balance controllers, allowing the robots to maintain balance for a long period by continuously moving forward and backward. However one disadvantage of this technology is that they cannot avoid obstacles in their way. Therefore movement in sideways is a necessity. For the control of rotation of yawing direction, the angle and direction of rotation are adjusted according to the velocity and torque of rotation of a motor. Therefore this study aimed to inquire into controlling yawing direction, which is responsible for rotation of a robot. This was followed by creating a simulation of a wheelbarrow robot and equipping the robot with a yawing direction controlling device in the center of the body so as to allow sideway movements.

Yaw-checking and course-keeping ability in IMO's ship manoeuvrability standards are reviewed from the viewpoint of safe navigation. Three kinds of virtual series-ships, which have different course instability, are taken as test models. The numerical simulation on Z-test is carried out in order to examine the correlation between known manoeuvrability in spiral characteristics and various kinds of overshoot angle. Then simulator experiments are executed with series-ships in a curved, narrow waterway by six operators(five active pilots and one ex-captain) in order to examine the correlation between known manoeuvrability and degree of manoeuvring difficulty. IMC criteria for yaw-checking and course-keeping ability are discussed and revised criteria are proposed.
