Recently, a number of large-scale photovoltaic(PV) power generation system has been installed all over the world. Thus, in order to improve the system efficiency, the optimal design of the large-scale PV systems has become an important issue. DC cable loss of PV array is one of the design factors related to the system efficiency. This paper introduces the array design method of a 500kW Photovoltaic power plant. Three types of the PV array are suggested. Also, string cables, sub-array cables and array cables are designed within 1% of voltage drop in the line, and the DC cable losses are analyzed. The results of this paper show that the DC cable loss of large-scale PV array can be reduced by adopting a proper sub-array design method.

The public open signals from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) including Global positioning system (GPS) are used widely by many peoples in the world except for the public regulated restriction signals which are encrypted. Nowadays there are growing concerns about GNSS signal spoofing which can deceive the GNSS receivers by abusing these open services. To counter these spoofing threats, many researches have been studied including array antenna techniques which can detect the direction of arrival by means of Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm. Originally the array antenna techniques were developed to countermeasure the jamming signal in electronic warfare by using the nulling or beamforming algorithm toward a certain direction. In this paper, we study the anti-spoofing techniques using array antenna to overcome the jamming and spoofing issues simultaneously. First, we will present the theoretical analysis results of spoofing signal response of Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) algorithm in array antenna. Then the eigenvector algorithm of covariance matrix is suggested and verified to work with the existing anti-jamming method. The modeling and simulation are used to verify the effectiveness of the anti-spoofing algorithm. Also, the field test results show that the array antenna system with the proposed algorithms can perform the anti-spoofing function. This anti-spoofing method using array antenna is very effective in the view point of solving both the jamming and spoofing problems using the same array antenna hardware.

An active phased array antenna consists of many channels. Each channel has a different initial phase shift and gain because of the inequality in the active circuits themselves, interface between radiators and active circuits, and beam-forming circuits and other antenna system configurations. This raises an inherent problem in active phased array antennas. To compensate for this problem the initial phase and gain of each channel should be calibrated. This paper presents an efficient calibration method for an initial phase variation of each channel in active phased array antennas. We tested our method in an active phased array antenna, and obtained good results in the radiation pattern and beam direction of antenna.

An electronically Scannable microphone system is in the Planning stage. For this Purpose, a multiple microphone array with controllable delay is available. To achieve effective point-listening characteristics, we proposed an enclosed microphone array system with a complex weighting method. In this system, both the microphone arrangement and the value of the complex weighting are important. In this report, the construction of microphone array system and the signal-processing method are explained, and the calculation method for optimal complex weighting is also presented. A prototype experimental setup is designed and fabricated to verify the expected characteristics.

One of important factors in designing array-type MEMS resonators is obtaining a desired frequency response function (FRF) within a specific range. In this paper Krylov subspace-based model order reduction using moment-matching with non-zero expansion points is represented to calculate the FRF of array-type resonators. By matching moments at a frequency around a specific range of the array-type resonators, required FRFs can be efficiently calculated with significantly reduced systems regardless of their operating frequencies. In addition, because of the characteristics of moment-matching method, a minimal order of reduced system with a specified accuracy can be determined through an error indicator using successive reduced models, which is very useful to automate the order reduction process and FRF calculation for structural optimization iterations.

This paper describes the optimization of the hexagonal array transducer using finite element method. The transducer consists of the disc type sensors. Three dimensional beam patterns of each element and the array transducer are analysed using the finite element code ATILA. Beam patterns were analyzed for the disc type transducer. To optimize beam patterns of the array transducer, Chebyshev polynomial weight is applied to each element. In case of applying optimized weight, a 30 degree width beam pattern is presented at 10kHz. This paper also includes the effect of rubber filling material instead of using the water inside the transducer array.

표적 탐지를 위한 선형 견인 어레이는 해수의 움직임이나 견인선의 기동 방향 등에 의해 그 형상이 비선형화 된다. 이러한 비선형성의 존재는 입사신호의 파라미터 추정 오차를 유발하므로 본 논문에서는 비선형 형상의 견인 어레이를 위한 빔형성 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 두 개의 보조센서를 사용하여 수동 견인 어레이의 첫 번째 하이드로폰과 마지막 하이드로폰의 위치를 파악한 후, 두 하이드로폰 사이의 비선형 형상조향 벡터를 선형화 (Linearization)한다. 실제 수중환경에서의 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통하여 성능 분석을 행한 결과, 비선형 견인 어레이의 형상에 관계없이 빔패턴은 이상적인 형태를 지님을 확인하였다. 그리고 다양한 입사신호의 신호 대 잡음비 환경 하에서 위상 성분 추정의 한계를 보임으로써 제안된 기법의 입사각 추정 성능을 평가하였으며, 이와 더불어 선형 형상을 가정한 바틀렛 빔형성 기법과의 비교 분석 결과, 현격한 성능 차이를 보였음을 확인하였다.

Structure design sensitivity was evaluated using the orthogonal array experimental method for passive-type deck support frame (DSF) developed for float-over installation of the offshore plant. Moreover, approximation characteristics were also reviewed based on various meta-models. The minimum weight design of the DSF is significantly important for securing both maneuvering performance and buoyancy of a ship equipped with the DSF and guaranteeing structural design safety. The performance strength of the passive type DSF was evaluated through structure analysis based on the finite element method. The thickness of main structure members was applied to design factors, and output responses were considered structure weight and strength performances. Quantitative effects on the output responses for each design factor were evaluated using the orthogonal array experimental method and analysis of variance. The optimum design case was also identified from the orthogonal array experiment results. Various meta-models, such as Chebyshev orthogonal polynomial, Kriging, response surface method, and radial basis function-based neural network, were generated from the orthogonal array experiment results. The results of the orthogonal array experiment were validated using the meta-modeling results. It was found that the radial basis function-based neural network among the meta-models could approximate the design space of the passive type DSF with the highest accuracy.

PBG 구조의 메타물질 설계시 패턴 형태와 배열 구조에 따른 금지대역(bandgap)을 정확하게 설계하기 어려운 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 2차원 배열구조로 어떤 모양의 패턴에 대해서도 빠르고 정확하게 원하는 금지대역을 설계할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 2차원 평면상의 메타물질 구조는 주기배열로 이루어져 있기 때문에 FDTD 수치해석 방법에 주기경계조건을 부여함으로서 계산영역을 줄였다. 또한 각 패턴이 갖는 L, C 값을 2차원적으로 고려하여 계산하였기 때문에 보다 정확한 설계가 가능하였다. 5GHz 대역에서 정사각형 패턴을 갖는 메타물질을 설계하여 기존의 마이크로스트립 선로를 이용한 1차원 메타물질 해석 값과 비교하였을 때 정확도가 평균적으로 14.7% 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Partial shading analysis of large-scale photovoltaic (PV) arrays has recently become a theoretically and numerically challenging issue, and it is necessary for PV system designers. The main contributions of this study are the following: 1) A PSIM-based macro-model was employed because it is remarkably fast, has high precision, and has no convergence issues. 2) Three types of equivalent macro-models were developed for the transformation of a small PV sub-array with uniform irradiance to a new macro-model. 3) On the basis of the proposed new macro-model, a tearing method was established, which can divide a large-scale PV array into several small sub-arrays to significantly improve the efficiency improvement of a simulation. 4) Three platforms, namely, PSIM, PSpice, and MATLAB, were applied to evaluate the proposed tearing method. The proposed models and methods were validated, and the value of this research was highlighted using an actual large-scale PV array with 2420 PV modules. Numerical simulation demonstrated that the tearing method can remarkably improve the simulation efficiency by approximately thousands of times, and the method obtained a precision of nearly 6.5%. It can provide a useful tool to design the optimal configuration of a PV array with a given shading pattern as much as possible.
