Abstract:
Provided are a method, an apparatus, and a parameter training method for friction loss-based differential pressure flow rate measurement. The method includes receiving pipe information on a pipe through which fluid passes from a measurement sensor installed on the pipe, calculating physical properties of the fluid based on the pipe information, obtaining a first parameter related to pressure loss of the fluid that occurs in a first passing route in the pipe, obtaining a second parameter related to pressure loss of the fluid that occurs in a second passing route in the pipe, and outputting a flow rate of the fluid based on the pipe information, the physical properties of the fluid, the first parameter, and the second parameter.
Abstract:
An ultrasonic flow meter is provided. The flow meter includes a detector that transmits a signal to a fluid and receives a signal from the fluid, a memory configured to store instructions, and a processor electrically connected to the memory and configured to execute the instructions, and when the instructions are executed by the processor, the processor calculates a first flow-rate value of the fluid using a signal transmitted to the fluid and a signal transmitted from the fluid, determines whether the first flow-rate value is missing, calculates a second flow-rate value of the fluid using a physical quantity of the fluid if the first flow-rate value is missing, and replaces the missing value with the second flow value, and the physical quantity is measured by an auxiliary sensor located installed on a pipe through which the fluid flows.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a piezoelectric cooling control apparatus and method, which set pulse parameters based on the temperature of the heating unit of a cooling target device, and thus control piezoelectric cooling. The piezoelectric cooling control apparatus includes a temperature sensing unit for sensing temperature of a heating unit of a cooling target device. A determination unit determines whether to activate piezoelectric cooling, based on the sensed temperature of the heating unit and a temperature setting range. A setting unit is configured to, if it is determined by the determination unit to activate piezoelectric cooling, set pulse parameters based on the temperature setting range and the temperature of the heating unit. A pulse control unit generates a PWM waveform based on the set pulse parameters and outputs the PWM waveform. A piezoelectric cooling unit performs piezoelectric cooling based on the PWM waveform.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for managing energy are disclosed herein. The apparatus for managing energy includes a State-of-Health (SOH) determination unit and an energy distribution unit. The SOH determination unit collects information about energy storage systems and energy facilities, and determines the SOH of each of the energy storage systems based on the information. The energy distribution unit distributes energy stored in the energy storage system to loads inside a building based on the information and the SOH.
