An aircraft power distribution device distributes and controls the power generated by the generator and provides overcurrent protection. There are many defect phenomena that make AC power distribution impossible during flight, which poses a problem in because some electronic equipment cannot be operated. We describe a process of deriving the root cause of defects by using vibration testing equipment to simulate the vibration conditions during aircraft flight, which result in defects. The results show that the cause of the defect is internal wiring damage caused by the vibration of the contactor of the AC power distribution device. Therefore, the shape of the contactor was improved to solve this problem. We also improved the test procedure by performing defect detection tests using vibration testing equipment to detect a faulty contactor. As a result of the improvements, a component certification test and flight test proved that the defect phenomena of the AC electrical master box were improved.

In this paper, we propose the development of a power conversion system for electric power take-off (e-PTO) of agricultural electric vehicles. Most e-PTOs use commercial power $220V_{AC}$. A bidirectional power conversion system having a two-stage structure consisting of a DC-DC converter and a DC-AC inverter for supplying a high output voltage using a low battery voltage of an agricultural electric vehicle is suitable. we propose a power conversion system consisting of the one-stage dual active bridge (DAB) converter and the two-stage bidirectional full bridge inverter. In addition, we propose a soft start algorithm for reducing the inrush current generated by the link capacitor charging during the initial operation. A 3kW prototype system and its corresponding algorithms have been implemented to verify its effectiveness through experiments.

The failure rate of bidirectional dc-to-dc converter is predicted through the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) and the fault-tree analysis (FTA) considering the operational risk. In order to increase the driving voltage of the electric vehicle efficiently, the bidirectional converter is attached to the front of the inverter. It has a boost mode for discharging battery power to the dc-link capacitor and a buck mode for charging the regenerative power to the battery. Based on the results of the FMEA considering the operating characteristics of the bidirectional converter, the fault-tree is designed considering the risk of the converter. After setting the design parameters for the MCU for the electric vehicle, we analyze the failure rate of the capacitor due to the output voltage ripple and the inductor component failure rate due to the inductor current ripple. In addition, we obtain the failure rate of major parts according to operating temperature using MIL-HDBK-217F. Finally, the failure rate and the mean time between failures (MTBF) of the converter are predicted by reflecting the part failure rate to the basic event of the fault-tree.

A new measurement method is suggested to quantify the phosphate poisoning of cathodic Pt catalyst for HT-PEMFC. To do that, hydrogen peroxide was used as an indicator to reduce the error which has been occurred in conventional electrochemical measurement such as CV or ORR RDE with high concentration of phosphate ions. As a result, the current density induced from the reaction of hydrogen peroxide decomposition increased proportionally to the concentration of phosphate ion while the conventional methods show has a significant error with high concentration of phosphate ion. Thus, it is confirmed that the suggested way is superior to the conventional measurement method for the quantification of phosphate ion poisoning in an atmosphere similar to the actual operation condition of HT-PEMFC.

Understanding charge trapping at the interface between conjugated semiconductor and polymer dielectric basically gives insight into the development of long-term stable organic field-effect transistors (OFET). Here, the charge transport properties of OFETs using polymer dielectric with various molecular weights (MWs) have been investigated. The conjugated semiconductor, pentacene exhibited morphology and crystallinity, insensitive to MWs of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) dielectric. Consequently, transfer curves and field-effect mobilities of as-prepared devices are independent of MWs. Under bias stress in humid environment, however, the drain current decay as well as transfer curve shift are found to increase as the MW of PMMA decreases (MW effect). The charge trapping induced by MW effect is irreversible, that is, the localized charges are difficult to be delocalized. The MW effect is caused by the variation in the density of polymer chain ends in the PMMA: the free volumes at the PMMA chain ends act as charge trap sites, corresponding to drain current decay depending on MWs of PMMA.

In this paper, we analyze the efficiency of light sources of CCFL and LED monitors. Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL), which is widely used as a light source for LCD display, supplies a high voltage of 1,200[V] or more when it is initially driven. In addition, a constant normal voltage of 400 ~ 800[V] after lighting, and 3 ~ 6[ mA] is needed for a power circuit that can stabilize the current. Applying a high voltage causes a lot of stress on the inverter and generates a lot of heat in the cold cathode lamp, causing significant damage to the BLU (Back Light Unit), resulting in a burning phenomenon, which causes the screen to output normal colors when outputting the screen. We can not see the yellow output and the screen darkened. Therefore, in order to prevent such a symptom in advance, efficiency can be increased by using a Light Emitting Diode (LED) as the light source of the LCD display instead of a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL). As a result, it is shown that the LED method outperforms the CCFL method.

This paper propose a variable proportional resonant feedforward algorithm for reducing the speed ripple of a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor. In general, the torque ripples can be generated by electrical pulsation due to current measurement errors and dead time and mechanical pulsation because of rotor eccentricity and eccentric load. These torque pulsations can cause speed pulsations of the motor and degrade the operating performance of the motor drive system. Therefore, in this paper, the factors of the speed ripple is analyzed and an algorithm to reduce the speed ripple is proposed. The proposed algorithm applied a variable proportional resonant controller in order to reduce the specific operating frequency included in the speed pulsation, and utilized a feedforward compensation controller structure to perform the compensation operation. The proposed algorithm is verified through various experiments.

유무기 하이브리드 금속-할라이드계 페로브스카이트(organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite) 페로브스카이트 반도체 소재는 광전자 소자와 소재 연구에 새로운 연구 흐름을 만들고 있다. 태양전지 성능이 불과 과거 몇 년 사이의 짧은 연구 기간에도 불구하고, 광-전 변환 소자 중에서도 단일 소자와 적층 소자(tandem)에서 높은 광-전 변환 효율을 나타내기 때문이다. 이러한 급격한 연구 성과와 성장에도 불구하고, 페로브스카이트 소재의 다양한 광전자 특성의 평가와 결과에 대한 논의가 필요한 상황이다. 특히 내부 이온 이동이 광전자 원거리 이동 특성 평가와 해석에 영향을 주는 경우, 페로브스카이트 소재를 기반으로 한 다양한 광전자 소자의 성능 향상과 해석에 여전히 모호함을 준다. 달리 얘기하면, 이 소재의 기초 특성을 이해하고자 적용하는 다양한 기존 특성 평가 분석법의 활용과 해석에도 복잡한 영향을 미치고 있다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 페로브스카이트 소재 내에서 광전자 원거리 이동을 측정하는 새로운 방법을 소개하고자 한다. 첫 번째 방법으로, Quasi-steady 상태에서 광전도도를 전기적 특성으로 측정하고, 광조사 하에 투과 및 반사를 광학적으로 측정하여, 전도도와 광전자 밀도를 동시에 평가하는 방법으로, photo-induced transmission and reflection (PITR) 분광분석법이다. 이 분광분석법은 실제 소자의 구동조건을 구현한 상태에서 광전자의 원거리 이동에서 발생하는 광전자 밀도 변화를 반영한 광전자 이동도 특성 평가라는 장점을 가지고 있다. 두 번째 방법으로, 기존의 연속 전압 인가 방법 대신 펄스형 전압 인가 방식을 도입하는 방법으로, pulsed voltage space charge limited current (PV-SCLC) 분석법이다. 이는 펄스형 전압 인가 방법으로 이온의 이동을 최소화하여, 전류-전압 측정에서 히스테리시스가 없고 측정결과의 재현성과 신뢰도가 매우 높은 장점이 있다.

In this study, we designed oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) with dual gate and tri layered split channels, and investigated the structural effect of the TFTs on the electrical characteristics. The dual gates played a key role in increasing the driving current, and the channel structure of tri layers and split form contributed to the increase in the carrier mobility. The tri layered channels consisting of the a-ITGZO and two ITO layers inserted between the gate dielectric and a-ITGZO led to the increase in the on-current by using ITO layers with high conductivity, and the split channels lowered series resistance of the channels. Compared with the mobility (15 cm²/V·s) of the single gate a-ITGZO TFT, the mobility (134 cm²/V·s) of the dual gate tri-layer split channel TFT was remarkably enhanced by the structural effect.

In the distribution system, there are multiple power protection systems such as circuit breakers at substations, and reclosers, minimum circuit ampacities, fault interrupters on distribution lines. They are widely used to prevent partial outages, cascading power failure or blackout so that other healthy systems could maintain the integrity in case of the instant fault or permanent failure on the power lines. However, when a fault happens, it could cause a major black out due to the lack of the protection cooperation between the protection relay of the circuit breaker at a substation and a protection system on the distribution lines. To achieve the power system integrity better, it is required to develop the circuit breaker which can be operational within 1 cycle(16ms). In this study, the high speed circuit breaker which is filled up with eco-friendly gas is developed. This equipment achieved an excellent test results based on IEC 62271-111 standard. It is respected that this equipment would contribute to prevent the wide area blackout by isolating a fault area quicker and faster.
