최근 전세계적으로 유가 상승 및 배기가스 배출 저감과 관련된 각종 환경규제에 대응하기 위하여 선진 자동차회사들은 $CO_2$ 배출 저감 기술과 기존 내연기관 차량의 연비향상을 위해 엔진성능 개선, 구동시스템의 최적화, 차량 경량화, 공기저항 감소 등에 초점을 맞춰 차량의 연비향상과 배기가스 규제에 대응하고 있다. 특히, 자동차 중량의 30%를 차지하는 차체의 경량화는 엔진효율을 높여 자동차의 성능향상을 극대화시키고, 그로 인해 연비향상을 도모할 수 있으므로 환경오염 방지와 연료절감에 가장 적합하고 효과적인 방법이다. 이에 기존의 강재에 비해 비중이 낮으면서 유사한 강도와 내식성이 뛰어난 알루미늄 합금의 차체 적용에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자동차 Door에 알루미늄 합금(Al 5052)의 적용 가능성을 판단하기 위해 반응표면분석법(Response surface methodology)을 이용하여 저입열 Pulse MIG 용접 공정변수를 최적화하였다. 첫째, 저입열 Pulse MIG 용접에서 용접 공정 변수(용접전압, 용접속도, Gap)의 변화가 비드 형상에 미치는 영향에 대해 평가하였다. 요인분석법을 이용하여 용접 공정 변수와 비드 형상 변수와의 주효과와 교호작용효과를 분석하였고, 이를 통해 비드 형상 변수에 영향을 크게 미치는 용접 공정변수를 선별하여 다중회귀분석을 통해 용접 공정 변수 변화에 따른 비드형상 예측 회귀모델을 제안하였다. 둘째, 자동차 Door 생산 현장에서 박판 알루미늄 합금 겹치기 용접 이음부의 0~1 mm 갭 발생에 대해 강건한 용접조건을 제시하기 위해 반응표면법(Response surface methodology)을 이용하여 저입열 Pulse MIG 용접 공정 변수를 최적화하였고, 그 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

A counter-type time-to-digital converter was designed using a dual edge T flip-flop. The time-to-digital converter was designed with a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process at a supply voltage of 1.5 volts. In a typical time-to-digital converter, when the period of the clock is T, a conversion error corresponding to the period of the clock occurs due to the asynchronism between the input signal and the clock. However, the clock of the time-to-digital converter proposed in this paper is generated in synchronization with the start signal which is the input signal. As a result, conversion errors that may occur due to asynchronization of the start signal and the clock do not occur. The flip-flops constituting the counters are composed of dual-edge flip-flops operating at the positive and negative edges of the clock to improve the resolution.

The power circuit design of an on-board S-band transmitter for KSLV-II with derating(operation of a component at less than its maximum rated specification to enhance reliability) is investigated. The power circuit of the transmitter consists of linear voltage regulators, DC/DC converters for regulating the DC supply, and diodes for reverse voltage protection. After analyzing the load current of the components, derating requirements are explored. Furthermore, power dissipation and junction temperature rise are considered with respect to the load current. The analysis is compared to the results from an engineering model of the transmitter. The temperature of the components is derated by >$40^{\circ}C$ in an environment where the ambient temperature is $+60^{\circ}C$, which is the acceptance test specification of high temperature.

In this study, we demonstrated an eco-friendly thin-metallic-film-based heater which can be operated in water. Based on the materials stability, Mo was selected as the heating element to secure long-term stability. Using a magnetron sputtering, 40 nm-thick Mo layers were deposited onto a glass substrate, followed by the deposition of 60-nm-thick ZnO layer to prevent oxidation during the heater fabrication process. Then, PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) was applied on top of ZnO layer and an additional glass substrate was placed, which were heated at 150℃ for 2 hr. The PVB was cured with strong adhesion by the processing condition. We operated the Glass/Mo/ZnO/Glass heater in water, and it was shown that the water temperature reached 50℃ within 2 minutes, with a minimal resistance change of the heater. Finally, the heaters exhibit a semi-transparency, and this aesthetic advantage is expected to contribute to the added value of the heater.

Recent, energy transition policies are driving to increase in the number of small photovoltaic(PV) generators. It is difficult for system operators to accurately anticipate the amount of power generated from such small scale PV generation, and this may disrupt dispatch schedules and result in an increase in cost. The need for a Virtual Power Plant(VPP) is emerging as a way of resolving these problems, as it would integrate small-scale PV plants and eliminate uncertainty about the amount of power generated, control voltage, and provide power reserves. In this paper, the cost evaluation methods are described for determination of VPP cloud charges both Net Present Value(NPV) method and Profitability Index(PI) method, the calculated outcomes of the two types of cost evaluation methods are presented in detail. It seems we secure profitability as we get 1.22 of profitability index from calculation results, it may be attractive for the aggregator as NPV is enough for satisfying profitability.

When designing an underwater Piezoelectric Energy Harvester (PEH), Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) is generated throughout the cantilever through a change in curvature, and the generation of VIV increases the vibration displacement of the curved cantilever PEH, which is an important factor in increasing actual power. The material of the curved PEH selected a Polyvinyline Di-Floride (PVDF) piezoelectric film, and the flow velocity is set at 0.1 m/s to 0.50 m/s for 50 mm, 130 mm, and 210 mm with various curvatures. The strain energy change of PEH by VIV was observed. The smaller the radius of curvature, the larger the VIV, and as the flow rate increased, more VIV appeared. Rapid shape transformation due to the small curvature was effective in generating VIV, and strain energy, normalized voltage, average power, etc. To increase the amount of power of the PEH, it is considered that the average power will increase as the number of curved PEHs increases as well as the steep curvature is improved.

Polymer dispersed liquid crystal lenses of the cell gap of $11{\mu}m$ and $30{\mu}m$ were made from a uniformly dispersed mixture of 40 wt% NOA65 prepolymer - 60 wt% E7 liquid crystal with the variations of the additional photoinitiator. The photoinitiator, benzophenone of 5.0 wt% was originally in the commercial prepolymer NOA65. In this works, the influence of the benzophenone amount intentionally added in the commercial NOA65 on the electrical properties of polymer dispersed liquid crystal lens for smart electronic glasses. The additional quantities of the photoinitiator were 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 wt% of the weight of NOA65 - E7 mixture. All the electro-optical properties of the sample with added benzophenone such as the driving voltage, the slope of the linear region, the response time and contrast ratio were more improved than that of commercial NOA65 only. These improvements were due to the increase of the average size of E7 liquid crystal droplets in the samples with the increase of the added benzophenon amount. The liquid crystal droplet size was increased from $5.3{\mu}m$ to $12.2{\mu}m$ when the photoinitiator was added from 0 wt% to 8 wt%. At the same concentration range of the photoinitiator, the driving voltage was ranged from 11.1 V to 17.3 V. The slopes of the linear region were in the range of 10.35~13.96 %T/V, which were more enhanced than that of NOA65 without the additional benzophenone. In particular, though the deteriorations by cell gap of $11{\mu}m$ were so effective to offset the influence of the added benzophenone for both rising and falling response time, it is confirmed that there were still somewhat improvement by the additional benzophenone. Response time and contrast ratios of all the samples with excess benzophenone were slightly enhanced.

Main ground net of power plant is formed to protect human body from increase in potential gradient caused by grounding current during ground fault. Calculations during ground design are generally performed according to IEEE Std-80-2000 (Kepco Design Standard 2602). However, it is difficult to apply this Standard to water environment, and a grounding technology is required to secure grounding resistance of floating photovoltaic system. Therefore the aim of this paper is to investigate and analyze ground resistivity on the water surface and underwater of reservoir using Wenner 4-pin method, a general method of measuring ground resistivity. Also, grounding resistance of floating photovoltaic systems currently in operation was measured and analyzed using the voltage drop method suggested in the international standard (IEEE Std-81) to propose a grounding method for stable grounding of floating photovoltaic system. The resistivity at 1m below the surface of water ($126.3969[{\Omega}{\cdot}m]$) is mostly higher than resistivity at the river bed ($97.5713[{\Omega}{\cdot}m]$). Also the proposed grounding anchor method was determined as the most effective method of securing stable grounding resistance in floating photovoltaic systems and is expected to be utilized as a ground method for future floating photovoltaic generation systems.

According to increase of nonlinear power electronics equipment, active power filters have been researched and developed for many years to compensate harmonic disturbances and reactive power. However the commercial of active power filter is being proceeded slowly, because the cost of active power filter compared to the passive filter for harmonic and reactive power compensation is expensive. Especially, the use of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) chip, which is frequently used to control 3-phase active power filter, is a factor of increasing the cost of active power filters. On the other hand, the use of only analog controller makes the controller's circuits much more complicate and depreciates the flexibilities of controller. In this paper, a controller with low cost for 5[kVA] 3-phase active power filter system is designed. To reduce the expense of active filter system, the presented controller is composed of digital control part using Intel 80C196KC $\mu$P and analog control part using hysteresis controller for current control. Characteristic analysis of designed controller for active filter system is performed by computer simulation and compensating characteristics of the designed controller are verified by experiment.tegy can apply to the vector control, leading to better output torque capability in the ac motor drive system. This strategy is that in the overmodulation range, the d-axis output current is given a priority to regulate the flux well, instead the q-axis output curent is sacrificed. Therefore, the vector control even in the overmodulation PWM operation can be achieved well. For this purpose, the d-axis output voltage of a current controller to control the flux is conserved. the q-axis output voltage to control the torque is controlled to place the reference voltage vector on the hexagon boundary in case of the overmodulation. The validity of the proposed overall scheme is confirmed by simulation and experiments for a 22[kW] induction motor drive system.

In this study, we present small-size, low-power, and high-speed electromagnetic flapping shutters for phone cameras. These shutters are composed of trapezoidal twin blades suspended by H-type torsional springs. The existing electrostatic rolling and flapping shutters need high input voltage, while the existing electromagnetic rotating shutters are too big to be used for phone cameras. To achieve low-power and high-speed angle motion for small-size electromagnetic flapping shutters for camera phones, low-inertia trapezoidal twin blades, each suspended by the low-stiffness H-type torsional springs, are employed. The electromagnetic flapping shutters used in this experimental study have steady-state rotational angles of $48.8{\pm}1.4^{\circ}$ and $64.4{\pm}1.0^{\circ}$ in the magentic fields of 0.15 T and 0.30 T, respectively, for an input current of 60 mA; the maximum overshoot angles are $80.2{\pm}3.5^{\circ}$ and $90.0{\pm}1.0^{\circ}$ in the magentic fields of 0.15 T and 0.30 T, respectively. The rising/settling times of the shutter while opening are 1.0 ms/20.0 ms, while those while closing are 1.7 ms/10.3 ms. Thus, we experimentally demonstrated that the smallsize (${\sim}8{\times}8{\times}2\;mm^3$), low-power (${\leq}60\;mA$), and high-speed (~1/370 s) electromagnetic flapping shutters are suitable for phone cameras.
