A miniature size electrostatic induction motor have been constructed and studied by applying a three phase ac power source with a maximum voltage of 5 KV and a variable frequency ranged 0.0 - 150 Hz. A maximum no load speed of the motor tested was about 7600 RPM at the applied voltage of 4330 volt and the frequency of 130 Hz for the case of the rotor surface material of polyprophylene sheet screen-printed $TiO_2$ powder on it. It is found that there are 3 different regions of the motor operation, a rotor stop region, a stable operation region and a high speed abnormal region. And it is also found that the motor speed is influenced greatly by the charge relaxation time constant of the rotor surface materials, which however was changed by the means of vapour-deposited Ti or Ni and screen-printed $TiO_2$ powder on the surface of the rotor material, polyprophylene.

DC and small-signal ac characteristics are examined for a pulse-width modulated (PWM) dc-dc buck-boost converter with a peak voltage modulation (PVM) feedforward control. Circuit model is used to derive an expression for the output voltage in terms of the input voltage and load resistance. Small-signal circuit model is used to derive the input-to-output voltage transfer function (audiosusceptibility).

The ability for energy harvesting via the piezoelectric effect was studied for a unimorph element such as piezo buzzer. A simple equivalent circuit was proposed to predict the energy generated based on the internal stress. Unimorphs with a metal-cavity were used as a driving device of the generation panel. Both the AC open voltage and DC output voltage as a function of pressure period and number of element were measured. For the unimorph generation circuit, DC output voltage varies with pressure period, reaching a maximum value at $470{\mu}F$. The maximum output voltage a according to load resistance was measured at $1M{\Omega}$. Data analysis of the DC output voltage and time constant indicated that number of piezoelectric element of optimum was 60~80. It was found that piezoelectric unimorph has the possibility to be used as the driving element of the electric generation.

This paper proposes a grid-connected inverter using the negative conductance of PV power system, which has four IGBTs and simple controller. Most of modern electric loads generate the current harmonics and the line voltage distortion. The new solar-to-ac converter(STAC) provides by emulating a negative conductance load to the line voltage, so the current harmonics from STAC is canceled the effect of the harmonics from other loads. As a result, the line voltage distortion is decreased. The proposed system have low cost, small size, and light weight compared to conventional photovoltaic converter

A novel linear ultrasonic motor for precision position control was designed and fabricated. It was composed of two piezoelectric actuators with longitudinal ultrasonic fluctuations and shaking beam. When two AC electric fields (Usinwt, Ucoswt) were applied to piezoelectric actuators respectively, the middle part of shaking beam had an elliptical trajectory. According to experimental results, the generative force was proportional to pre-load force but the speed of slider was in inverse proportion. And the bar of shaking beam had a same trajectory with simulation result.

This paper presents a novel approach for achieving both a tight DC voltage regulation and a power factor control by applying the Reaching Law Sliding Mode Control (RL-SMC) and the conventional Sliding Mode Control (SMC). Applying these strategies on a matrix rectifier (MR) can achieve a unity grid side power factor when the DC load changes widely and it can provide a ripple-free output voltage that is easily affected by distortions of the three-phase ac voltage supply. Furthermore, by employing the reaching law on the SMC can solve the chatting problem of the sliding motion. Comparative Matlab simulations and experimental verifications for these strategies have been presented and discussed in this paper. The results show that by applying the SMC and RL-SMC on a MR can achieve a unity grid side power factor and a regulated ripple-free DC output.

Energy markets of the Northeast Asia countries and in particular South Korea are perspective enough from the standpoint of export of energy resources from Russia. South Korea Power System has been rapidly growing. However, recently it has been confronted with difficulties in regard to constructing new Power Stations and especially Hydro Power Plants. Therefore it is mutually beneficial to build electric tie to South Korea in order to use highly effective Power of Northeast Asia. In this paper, we describe the maximum available transmission power through interconnected line without loss of stability in power system. For this simulation, the AC transmission system is assumed appropriate for this preliminary study. The transmission system will pass through territory of North Korea and connect to 765 kV Network near Seoul with long distance.

The solar cells should be operated at the maximum power point because its output characteristics were greatly fluctuated on the variation of insolation, temperature and load. It is necessary to install an inverter among electric power converts by means of the output power of solar cell is DC. The inverter is operated supply a sinusoidal current and voltage to the load and the interactive utility line. In this paper, the proposes a photovoltaic system is designed with a step up chopper and single phase PWM voltage source inverter. Synchronous signal and control signal was processed by one-chip microprocessor for stable modulation. The step up chopper is operated in continuous mode by adjusting the duty ratio so that the photovoltaic system tracks the maximum power point of solar cell without any influence on the variation of insolation and temperature for solar cell has typical dropping character. The single phase PWM voltage source inverter is consists of complex type of electric power converter to compensate for the defect, that is, solar cell cannot be develop continuously by connecting with the source of electric power for ordinary using. It can be cause the efect of saving electric power, from 10 to 20%. The single phase PWM voltage source inverter operates in situation, that its output voltage is in same phase with the utility voltage. The inverter are supplies an ac power with high factor and low level of harmonics to the load and the utility power system.

A medical treatment of alternating current high-voltage electric field therapy is a method in which we get a healing effect, applying electric field to an organism through an artificial device. In order to estimate the clinical effects of alternating current high-voltage electric field load(HEALTHTRON) on the rehabilitation of stroke patients, improvement of a peripheral blood circulation, and psychogenic symptom, we used BEUNZEUNGHEYNG Instrument, NIHSS(the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale), FIM(Functional Independence Measure)lnstrument to research BEUNZEUNGHEYNG and recovery of rehabilitative funation. and also we used Thermography, Pulse Meter to measure body temperature and pulse, blood elements, and neuro modulators. We have reached the following conclusions after researching the clinical effects of alternating current high-voltage electric field therapy on the recovery of rehabilitative function and peripheral blood circulation. 1. HEALTHTRON efficiently has increased the volume of peripheral blood circulation in stroke patients. 2. HEALTHTRON rapidly has treated the symptoms of sleeplessness, alertness, and dizziness of stroke patients. 3. HEALTHTRON rapidly has improved rehabilitative function of stroke patients and the adjustment to their activities.

This paper proposes a 3.3-kW bi-directional EV charger with V2G and V2H functions. The bi-directional EV charger consists of a DC-DC converter and a DC-AC inverter. The proposed EV charger is suitable for wide battery voltage control due to the two-stage configuration of the DC-DC converter. By employing a fixed-frequency series loaded resonant converter as the isolated DC-DC converter, zero-current-switching can be achieved regardless of battery voltage variation, load variation, and power flow. A 3.3-kW prototype of the proposed EV charger has been built and verified with experiments, and indicates a maximum efficiency of 94.39% and rated efficiency of 94.23%.
