This paper addresses the establishment of a kVA-range plug-in hybrid electrical vehicle (PHEV) integration test platform and associated issues. Advancements in battery and power electronic technology, hybrid vehicles are becoming increasingly dependent on the electrical energy provided by the batteries. Minimal or no support by the internal combustion engine may result in the vehicle being occasionally unable to recharge the batteries during highly dynamic driving that occurs in urban areas. The inability to sustain its own energy source creates a situation where the vehicle must connect to the electrical grid in order to recharge its batteries. The effects of a large penetration of electric vehicles connected into the grid are still relatively unknown. This paper presents a novel methodology that will be utilized to study the effects of PHEV charging at the sub-transmission level. The proposed test platform utilizes the power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) concept in conjunction with high-fidelity PHEV energy system simulation models. The battery, in particular, is simulated utilizing a real-time digital simulator ($RTDS^{TM}$) which generates appropriate control commands to a power electronics-based voltage amplifier that interfaces via a LC-LC-type filter to a power grid. In addition, the PHEV impact is evaluated via another power electronic converter controlled through $dSPACE^{TM}$, a rapid control systems prototyping software.

The components of an aero-engine gas path cannot be monitored in a timely way due to a lack of real-time monitoring technologies. As an attempt to address this problem, we have conducted research on a condition monitoring technology based on the charging characteristics of particles in an aero-engine gas path, and emphatically analyze the formation of particles in an aero-engine gas path, the charging mechanism of carbon particles and the factors that influence the charge quantity and polarity. The verification experiments are performed on the simulated experiment platform and a turbo-shaft engine test bench. The results show the carbon particles' carry charge, and an obvious change in the total electrostatic charge level in the aero-engine gas path due to the increased carbon particles produced by burning or abnormal metal particles; the charge number is related to the size of particles, and the bigger carbon particles carry a negative charge and metal particles carry a positive charge; the change in engine power can lead to an obvious change in the level of electrostatic charge in the gas path, and the change in electrostatic charge results from the extra carbon particles formed in the rich-oil burning process. The research provides a reference for establishing the baseline of electrostatic charge while the engine runs on different power. The study also demonstrates the validity of the electrostatic monitoring technology and establishes a base for developing the application of electrostatic monitoring technology in aero-engines.

Graphene is expected to have a significant impact in various fields in the foreseeable future. For example, graphene is considered to be a promising candidate to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) as transparent conductive electrodes in optoelectronics applications. We report the tunability of the wavelength of localized surface plasmon resonance by varying the distance between graphene and Au nanoparticles [1]. It is estimated that every nanometer of change in the distance between graphene and the nanoparticles corresponds to a resonance wavelength shift of ~12 nm. The nanoparticle-graphene separation changes the coupling strength of the electromagnetic field of the excited plasmons in the nanoparticles and the antiparallel image dipoles in graphene. We also show a hysteresis in the conductance and capacitance can serve as a platform for graphene memory devices. We report the hysteresis in capacitance-voltage measurements on top gated bilayer graphene which provide a direct experimental evidence of the existence of charge traps as the cause for the hysteresis [2]. By applying a back gate bias to tune the Fermi level, an opposite sequence of switching with the different charge carriers, holes and electrons, is found [3]. The charging and discharging effect is proposed to explain this ambipolar bistable hysteretic switching.

지난 수년간 KISTI는 EDISON이라는 온라인 시뮬레이션 실행 플랫폼을 통해 사용자들이 다양한 계산과학공학 분야에서 제공된 사이언스 애플리케이션에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행할 수 있는 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 일반적으로 이러한 시뮬레이션은 대규모 계산을 수반하므로 대용량의 출력 데이터를 생산해 낸다. 온라인 플랫폼에서 이러한 시뮬레이션을 수행 할 때 발생하는 중요한 문제 중 하나는 많은 사용자가 동일한 (또는 거의 변하지 않는) 입력 매개 변수 또는 파일을 사용하여 시뮬레이션 요청 (또는 작업)을 플랫폼에 동시에 제출함으로써 플랫폼에 상당한 부담을 준다는 점이다. 다시 말해, 동일한 컴퓨팅 작업으로 인해 중복 컴퓨팅 및 스토리지 리소스가 빠른 속도로 소모된다는 점이다. 이와 같은 동일한 시뮬레이션 요청으로 인한 과도한 자원 사용 문제를 극복하기 위해, 본 논문은 실행 메타 데이터, 즉 프로비넌스를 기반으로 시뮬레이션 데이터를 효율적으로 관리하기 위한 IceSheet라는 새로운 프레임 워크를 제안한다. IceSheet 프레임워크는 시뮬레이션 실행과 관련된 프로비넌스를 수집하여 저장한다. 수집된 프로비넌스 정보는 중복 시뮬레이션 요청을 제외할 뿐만 아니라 오픈소스 검색 엔진인 ElasticSearch를 통해 기존 시뮬레이션 결과를 검색하는 데도 사용된다. 특히 본 논문은 IceSheet 프레임워크에서 저장된 시뮬레이션 결과를 검색하고 재사용할 수 있는 핵심 구성 요소에 대해 자세히 설명한다. 우리는 온라인 시뮬레이션 실행 플랫폼과 함께 연동하는 검색 엔진을 기반으로 제안된 프레임워크의 프로토타입을 구현하였다. 플랫폼에서 수집된 실제 시뮬레이션 실행 프로비넌스를 기반으로 제안된 프레임워크의 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 플랫폼과 완벽히 연동된 IceSheet 프레임워크는 사용자로 하여금 선택된 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어에 대해 과거에 입력된 매개 변수 값을 빠르게 검색하고 동일한 입력 매개 변수 값이 존재하는 경우 기존의 결과를 곧바로 반환할 수 있도록 할 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 제안된 프레임워크를 통해 이전에 실행된 시뮬레이션과 동일한 요청에 대해 중복 자원 소모를 없애고 실행 시간을 크게 단축시키는 데 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.

전기자동차에 사용되는 배터리는 전기자동차의 특성상 정격용량이 매우 커다란 배터리이다. 전기자동차를 장기간 운행하거나 교통사고로 전기자동차가 폐차되게 되면 전기자동차용 배터리는 폐배터리가 된다. 폐차되는 차량이더라도 전기자동차용 폐배터리에 남아 있는 용량은 다른 용도로 사용하기에 충분하다. 자동차용 폐배터리는 매우 고가이기때문에 재활용 및 재사용이 필요하지만 재활용 및 재사용을 위한 폐배터리 성능등급 측정기준이 부족한 문제가 있었다. 폐배터리의 잔존용량을 측정하는 방법으로 가장 안정적이고 신뢰할 수 있는 방법은 완전 충·방전을 이용하여 배터리의 잔존용량을 측정하는 것이다. 하지만 이러한 완전 충·방전에 방식에 의한 검사 방법은 배터리의 용량에 따라 다르지만 검사하는데 하루 이상이 걸리는 단점을 가지고 있으며 많은 사람들이 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 많은 노력을 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전기자동차 배터리에 대한 검사 시간을 줄일 수 있는 방법으로 셀간 전압 편차를 활용한 전기자동차 배터리 잔존용량 분석 기법을 연구 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 완전 충·방전 기반의 용량 측정시스템을 구성하고 코나 폐배터리를 이용하여 실험데이터를 수집하였고 배터리 팩을 구성하고 있는 배터리 셀간 전압 편차와 잔존용량과의 상관관계를 분석하여 배터리 검사에 활용할 수 있는지를 검증하였다.

Large access providers (ISPs) are seeking for new types of business agreements and pricing models to manage network costs and monetize better the provision of last-mile services. A typical paradigm of such new pricing norms is the proliferation of paid peering deals between ISPs and content providers (CPs), while on top of this, some ISPs are already experimenting with usage-based tariffs, usually through data-plans, instead of the typical fixed-based charging. In this work we define as common platform, the infrastructure in which a single ISP transacts with several CPs through peering agreements. In this context, we examine whether, and under which market conditions, the profitability of the involved stakeholders improves when the establishment of this platform is accompanied by a monetary compensation from the CPs to the ISP (paid peering), v.s. a scenario where their deal is a typical settlement-free one. In both cases, we assume that the ISP implements a usage-based access pricing scheme, implying that end-users will pay more for higher transaction rates with the CPs. Our framework captures some of the most important details of the current market, such as the various business models adopted by the CPs, the end-users' evaluation towards the ISP's and CPs' level of investments and the traffic rates per transaction for the offered services. By analysing the equilibrium derived by a leader-follower game, it turns out (among other practical takeaways) that whether or not the profitability of a CP improves, it highly depends on whether its business model is to sell content, or if it obtains its revenue from advertisements. Finally, we extract that consumer surplus is considerably higher under paid peering, which in turn implies improved levels of social welfare.

We present a novel schematic using a 3-dB coupler to transmit radiofrequency (RF) power to two receivers selectively. Whereas previous multiple receiver supporting schemes used hardware-switched methods, our scheme uses a soft power-allocating method, which has the advantage of variable power allocation in real time to each receiver. Using our scheme, we can split the charging area and focus the RF power on the targeted areas. We present our soft power-allocating method in three main points. First, we propose a new power distribution hardware structure using a FPGA (field-programmable gate array) and a 3-dB coupler. It can reconfigure the transmitting power to two receivers selectively using accurate FPGA-controlled signals with the aid of software. Second, we propose a power control method in our platform. We can variably control the total power of transmitter using the DC bias of the drain input of the amplifier. Third, we provide the possibility of expansion in multiple systems by extending these two wireless power transfer systems. We believe that this method is a new approach to controlling power amplifier output softly to support multiple receivers.

This paper discussed a transformer-less shunt static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) with consideration of the following aspects: fast compensation of the reactive power, harmonic cancelation and reducing the unbalancing of the 3-phase source side currents. The STATCOM control algorithm is based on the theory of instantaneous reactive power (P-Q theory). A self charging technique is proposed to regulate the dc capacitor voltage at a desired level with the use of a PI controller. In order to regulate the DC link voltage, an off-line Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to tune the coefficients of the PI controller. This algorithm arranged these coefficients while considering the importance of three factors in the DC link voltage response: overshoot, settling time and rising time. For this investigation, the entire system including the STATCOM, network, harmonics and unbalancing load are simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK. After that, a 35KVA STATCOM laboratory setup test including two parallel converter modules is designed and the control algorithm is executed on a TMS320F2812 controller platform.
