An ICRF discharge cleaning and a fast wave electron heating experiment were performed. For automated operation and providing the diagnostics of the ICRF system, the ICRF local network was designed and implemented. This internal network provides monitoring, RF protection, remote control, and RF diagnostics. All the functions of the control system were realized by customized DSP units. The DSP units were tied by a local network in parallel. Owing to the distributed feature of the control system, the ICRF local control system is quite flexible to maintain. Developing the subsystem is a more effective approach compared to developing a large controller that governs the entire system. During the first experimental campaign of the KSTAR tokamak, the control system operated as expected without any major problems that would affect the tokamak operation. The transmitter was protected from harmful over-voltage events through reliable operation of the system.

For zinc-air batteries, there are several limitations associated with zinc anodes. The self-discharge behavior of zinc-air batteries is a critical issue that is induced by corrosion reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of zinc anodes. Aluminum and indium are effective additives for controlling the hydrogen evolution reaction as well as the corrosion reaction. To enhance the electrochemical performances of zinc-air batteries, mechanically alloyed Zn-Al and Zn-In materials with different compositions are successfully fabricated at 500rpm and 5h milling time. Investigated materials are characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Alloys are investigated for the application as novel anodes in zinc-air batteries. Especially, the material with 3 wt% of indium (ZI3) delivers 445.37 mAh/g and 408.52 mAh/g of specific discharge capacity with 1 h and 6 h storage, respectively. Also, it shows 91.72 % capacity retention and has the lowest value of corrosion current density among attempted materials.

In this paper, we propose EDLC's high effective operating techniques. EDLC is energy storage device that has advantages of electrolytic capacitor and accumulation capacitor and that supplements defect such as energy storing accumulation capacity, life time and safety. But, EDLC needs for more complex control scheme because is influenced directly in efficiency and life time by charge and discharge control method. In this paper, DVR system's performance is proposed by EDLC's high effective operating technique.

The ignition quality of ignition system is influenced by spark energy, discharge pattern of spark energy and spark duration. In this paper, the characteristics of multiple spark ignition system have been investigated for various number of spark and spark interval. The results, which were compared with those obtained with a standard single spark ignition, show that engine output is increased, and lean misfire limit is extended with the multiple spark ignition system. The most effective number of spark at the most effective spark interval that are determined by engine performance test, were 6 times spark at 0.02ms spark interval. For the above condition of spark, engine torque was increased about 20% comparing with conventional ignition system and lean misfire limit was extended to air-fuel ratio 22.5:1. This study researched the rate of heat release and quantity of heat release influenced by a condition of spark on the mass burned in order to investigate the relationship between the rate of mass burned and number of spark times.

형산강 유역의 일별 하천유량과 오염부하량을 산정하기 위한 유역유출모형(강우-유출모형)인 Tank 모델을 구축하여 영일만으로 유입하는 오염부하량의 계절별 변동특성에 대해 검토하였다. 산정된 영일만으로 유입되는 형산강의 연평균 하천유량은 878.34×10/sup 6/㎥/year로 형산강 유역면적내 연평균 총강우량의 약 73%로 나타났다. 영일만내 유입되는 연평균 오염부하량은 각각 15.11 ton-COD/year, 23.24 ton-SS/year, 10.65 ton-TN/year, 0.54 ton-Tp/year로 산정되었다 또한 계절별 변동특성으로 하천유량이 증가하는 하계 6~7월과 춘계 10월에 유입오염부하량도 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 영일만내로 유입하는 주된 오염부하원은 형산강 하구인근에 위치한 포항시와 포항공단인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서 영일만의 효율적인 수질관리를 위해서는 오염부하원으로부터의 오염부하량 저감대책수립이 요구된다.

The dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) has low efficiency due to about 70% input power is consumed as thermal energy in the discharge space. However, because of the usage of DBD ozone generator is easier than other methods. The DBD ozone generator has been widely applied for high concentration ozone generation in the industrial application. But, the low-capacity compact DBD ozone generator is not applied so far. Therefore, the DBD ozone generator is necessary to improve ozone production efficiency and reduce the capacity. In this paper, the stainless steel pipe inner electrode was designed with hall type and screw type to improve the ozone production yield. The manufactured two inner electrodes were experimented with normal type for comparison of the discharge characteristics and the ozone generating characteristics. As the experimental results, the discharge current effective value of designed inner electrodes with hall type and screw type are higher than the normal type, due to unequal electric field is formed at the boundary. However, the difference of designed and original electrodes is less than 0.1mA that has no effect on the discharge characteristic. On the other hand, the screw type inner electrode increased higher than original model about 7 times when the flow rate of the oxygen source gas was increased from $0.6{\ell}/min$ to $1.0{\ell}/min$ The reason was assumed by the flow rate of the raw gas through the inner electrode was became fast that has a cooling effect. The designed hall type and screw type inner electrodes have shown good performances in ozone generation and ozone production that better than normal type in the same electrode surface area.

MgO는 플라즈마 디스플레이 패널 (Plasma Display Panel, PDP)의 보호막으로 널리 쓰이고 있다. 본 실험에서는 산소 이온 빔을 이용하여 증착된 MgO 보호막의 특성을 조사하였다. MgO 증착 시 보조 산소 이온 빔의 에너지를 변화시킴에 따라 MgO 보호막의 특성과 PDP 패널 발광특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 산소 이온 에너지가 300 eV 일 때 소자의 방전개시전압이 가장 낮게 나타났고, 발광 휘도 및 발광 효율은 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 산소 이온 빔의 조사에너지에 따라 MgO 박막의 결정성 및 표면조도가 크게 영향을 받는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 산소 이온 빔 보조 증착 방법을 이용하여 패널의 발광 휘도와 발광 효율 등 발광특성을 개선하였다.

This paper proposes the enhanced application of superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) for the effective compensation of power fluctuations based on the interleaving technique. With increases in demand for renewable energy based photovoltaic (PV) generation system, the output power fluctuations from PV generation system due to sudden changes in environmental conditions can cause serious problems such as grid voltage and frequency variations. To solve this problem, the SMES system is applied with its superior characteristics with respect to high power density, fast response for charge and discharge operations, system efficiency, etc. In particular, the compensation capability is effectively improved by the proposed interleaving technique based on its parallel structure. The dynamic performance of the system designed using the proposed method is evaluated with several case studies through time-domain simulations.
