Remote Diagnosis Prediction System and Method of Ballast Water Treatment System

The present invention relates to a remote diagnosis prediction system and method for a ballast water treatment apparatus, and more particularly, to a remote diagnosis prediction system and method for a ballast water treatment apparatus that extracts operational data from a control unit of a ballast water treatment apparatus, A remote terminal unit unit connected to the remote terminal unit unit for converting and transmitting the received signal and transmitting the converted signal to the remote terminal unit unit; an antenna unit connected to the conversion unit for radiating and transmitting the converted signal in the form of an electromagnetic wave, And a server unit connected to a communication network to transmit and receive a protocol, wherein the server unit comprises an application server unit for analyzing a received protocol and performing diagnosis and prediction, Diagnose and predict the problems that occur or occur on the ship, So that even if the technician has been dispatched to resolve the issues, the present invention relates to a system and method for remote diagnosis predictive of the ballast water treatment equipment.

Ballast water means seawater filled into ballast water tanks installed on the bottom or right and left sides of a ship to maintain the center of gravity of the ship when the ship is operated. When ships enter ports in other countries, existing ballast water is discharged. Ballast water contains harmful plankton and bacteria, which causes environmental problems such as disturbing indigenous ecosystems in the surrounding area.

The United Nations International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted the International Convention for the Control of Ballast Water in 2004 in order to resolve the above problems. According to this, new vessels will be obliged to install the ballast water treatment system approved by IMO from 2014 to 2020, depending on the size of existing vessels currently in operation.

However, not only the penetration rate of the ballast water treatment system is low yet, but even if the ship is installed, the owner of the ship is not provided with appropriate MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operation) information about the ballast water treatment apparatus installed in his own vessel, It is not possible to operate it.

Especially, in case of a ship navigating the wide sea such as the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, it may be located on the sea surface which is difficult to approach from the land during the navigation. If an abnormality occurs in the ballast water treatment apparatus installed on the ship at this position, Not only is it difficult to ask for help, but even if you ask for help, the ship will have to wait for a long time to stop operating in the middle of the ocean because the time it takes for the technician to arrive at the ship is inevitable. And missed due dates for ship freight.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an apparatus for providing a large-scale data analysis system for ship ballast water processing using a mobile communication network according to the prior art, and the above-described prior art is disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1621347 (May 2016).

1, the conventional art 90 includes a ship ballast water treatment control apparatus 93 for recording and storing operation state information of a ballast water treatment apparatus 91, and an internal communication relay apparatus 95 When the vessel reaches the mobile communication network accessable area in the ship operating area, it is automatically connected to the ballast water operation server on the external internet to transmit the operation state information of the ballast water treatment system of the ship, (97) for receiving the maintenance information, and a control unit connected to the ballast water operation server installed at the ground control station to collect the operation state information of the ballast water treatment system at the time of operation of the vessel, analyze and manage the big data, And a big data analysis device (99) for producing water treatment system operation management and maintenance information and storing the same in a ship ballast water operation server It is.

However, according to the prior art (90) shown in FIG. 1, since the operation information of the ballast water treatment apparatus can be transmitted to the outside only while the ship stays near the port, the real-time ballast water treatment apparatus There is a problem in that it is impossible to collect the operational information on the MRO information and to generate the appropriate MRO information on the basis thereof.

In addition, existing ship communication is totally dependent on satellite communication through satellite, and satellite communication is slow and communication is expensive. While recognizing such a problem and the above-mentioned prior art (90) seems to have turned by using mobile communication near the port, the above-mentioned prior art (90) causes another problem that communication in the desired environment is impossible .

Therefore, regardless of the position of the ship on which the ballast water treatment apparatus is installed, the control center can monitor the MRO information of the ballast water treatment apparatus installed in the vessel in real time and update the recording medium of the ballast water treatment apparatus remotely It is necessary to develop a technology that enables remote diagnosis and failure prediction of the ballast water treatment apparatus and enables the operation record of the ballast water treatment apparatus to be easily transmitted irrespective of whether the ship is in the sea or in the sea .

Preferably, the reaction signal is transmitted to the connectable communication network at the position of the ship through the coordinate information of the ship represented by the latitude and the longitude, so that the type of the communication network to receive the response signal can be limited to the position information of the ship .

The signal receiving step S11913 is a step in which the signal receiving module 1913 receives a response signal to the reaction signal. When a response signal is transmitted around the ship through the reaction signal transmission step S11911, a response signal is transmitted in a communication network capable of connecting to the communication network, and the response signal is received by the signal reception module 1913. As a result, the type of the connectable communication network can be confirmed at the point where the ship is currently located.

The network selection step S11915 is a step in which the communication network selection module 1915 evaluates the received response signal and selects a communication network.
