Solar energy, which is one of renewable energy, would be the most useful resources that can be applied to making energy recycling villages without using fossil energy. This study analyzed energy potential on solar energy considering weather condition in three traditional villages and compared with energy consumption surveyed. A photovoltaic system having 3.0kWp capacity of unit module can generate 182.5%, 96.1% and 170.9% of the yearly mean consumption of electric power in Makhyun, Boojang, and Soso, respectively. A flat-plate solar collector having $2.64m^2$ area of unit module can generate warm water of $142{\ell}$/day, $89{\ell}$/day, and $173{\ell}$/day, respectively in three study villages. In Makhyun and Soso, photovoltaic power and warm water produced by solar energy were sufficient to supply required amount of electric power and warm water. However, both electric power and warm water produced by unit solar module were not sufficient in Boojang area, and so it is required to increase the module area by more than 50%. According to the results of this study, the appropriate combination of energy resources can be applied to rural green-village planning if the characteristic of energy potential for each local area is considered.

Performing thermal transient test on electric initiator with SUS 304 bridgewire(diameter 2.3mil) and $Zr-KClO_4$ primary charge and analysing the test data using Fitted Wire Model shows that the thermal characteristic parameter related to primary charge is changed sharply around $300^{\circ}C$. It is determined that this phenomenon is due to endothermic reaction from phase transition of $KClO_4$, which is used as primary charge, and to physical change of thermal transient interface between bridgewire and primary charge. With this results, useful temperature range for the parameter obtained from thermal transient test can be suggested.

An AC electrical railroad system has rapidly changing dynamic single-phase load, and at a feeding substation, three-phase electric power is transformed to the paired directional single-phase electric power. There is a great difference in electrical phenomenon between the load of AC electrical railroad system and that of general power system. Electric characteristics of AC electrical railroad's trainload are changed continuously according to the traction, operating characteristic, operating schedule, track slope, etc. Because of the long feeding distance of the dynamic trainload, power quality problems such as voltage drop, voltage imbalance and harmonic distortion may also occur to AC electrical railroad system. These problems affect not only power system stability. but also power quality deterioration in AC electrical railroad system. The dynamic simulation model of AC electrical railroad system presented by PSCAD/EMTDC is modeled in this paper, and then, it is analyzed voltage drop and power quality for AC electrical railroad system both with single-Phase distributed STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator) installed at SP(Sectioning Post) and without.

In this study, the $\beta$-Polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) thin films were fabricated by physical vapor deposition method. Also, the properties of dielectric relaxation were studied to understand carrier's behavior of PVDF thin films, to be regarded as the excellent piezo and pyroelectricity. In the process of vapor deposition, the $\beta$-PVDF thin films have been fabricated under the condition of the substrate temperature at 3$0^{\circ}C$, the applied electric field at 142.8kV/cm and the pressure at 2.0${\times}10^{-5}$torr. The dielectric properties of PVDF have been studied in the frequency range 10Hz to 1MHz at temperature from 30 to $100^{\circ}C$. The relative dielectric constant of $\alpha$ and $\beta$-PVDF were 6.8 and 9.8, respectively, under a frequency of 1kHz. Such a phenomenon was caused by the decrease in intermolecular forces originated by the phase-transition from the TGTG' molecular conformation to the TT planar zig-zag conformation. And the relative dielectric constant is increased as a measuring temperature increases, because of the reduction of relaxation time caused by the decrease of intermolecular force.

We present in this paper a novel mid and long term power load prediction method using temporal pattern mining from AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) data. Since the power load patterns have time-varying characteristic and very different patterns according to the hour, time, day and week and so on, it gives rise to the uninformative results if only traditional data mining is used. Also, research on data mining for analyzing electric load patterns focused on cluster analysis and classification methods. However despite the usefulness of rules that include temporal dimension and the fact that the AMR data has temporal attribute, the above methods were limited in static pattern extraction and did not consider temporal attributes. Therefore, we propose a new classification method for predicting power load patterns. The main tasks include clustering method and temporal classification method. Cluster analysis is used to create load pattern classes and the representative load profiles for each class. Next, the classification method uses representative load profiles to build a classifier able to assign different load patterns to the existing classes. The proposed classification method is the Calendar-based temporal mining and it discovers electric load patterns in multiple time granularities. Lastly, we show that the proposed method used AMR data and discovered more interest patterns.

The research and development of an actuator are accelerating in the robotics industry. The electricity polymer and SMA actuator are designed simply and are produced a lot of forces per unit volume. Their motions are similar to human's motion, But the repeatability of the electricity polymer actuator is lower. The reaction velocity of the SMA actuator is slow and the travel is short. In this paper, the dynamic characteristic of the segmented SMA is studied. The SMA wire is divided by using the Thermo-electric module(TEM) to control each of segments independently. The MOSFET circuit is used to supply constant currents fer the Thermo-electric module(TEM). The hysteresis and displacement of the SMA wire according to load are measured.

A lumped parameter model of Li-ion battery in hybrid electric vehicle(HEV) is constructed and system parameters are identified by using recursive least square estimation for different C-rates, SOCs and temperatures. The system characteristics of pole and zero in frequency domain are analyzed with the parameters obtained from different conditions. The parameterized model of Li-ion battery indicates highly dependant of temperatures. The system pole and internal resistance changes 6.6 and 18 times at $-20^{\circ}C$, comparing with those at $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. These results will be utilized on constructing model-based state observer or an on-line identification and an adaptation of the model parameters in battery management systems for hybrid electric vehicle applications.

In this paper, we described the characterization of High-Tc Superconducting(HTS) microstrip antenna using non-radiating edge feeding technique and reported the microwave properties of HTS antennas with temperature. To do this, we prepared the $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ superconducting thin film on MgO substrate using pulse-laser deposition techniques. The HTS microstrip antenna using non-radiating feeding technique was fabricated using chemical wet-etching. Then it was compared with identical antenna patterned with evaporated gold. The diverse measured results have been reported in terms of the input impedance, resonant frequency and return loss. In additional, at around the critical temperature, the effect of kinetic inductance which affect the resonant characteristic of the HTS microstrip antenna was reported.

This paper presents electric characteristics analysis and safe configuration for extension power supply between existent 6.6kV ungrounded distribution system and establishment and improvement 22.9kV direct grounding distribution system. For this, we model 6.6kV ungrounded and 22.9kV direct grounding distribution system of urban underground, ground region. and rural electrical, unelectrical region using PSCAD/EMTDC and analyze voltage drop, charging current, ground and short fault through simulation. To analyze electric characteristics of extension power supply, we simulate extension power supply of overhead line of 6.6kV ungrounded system and underground line of 22.9kV direct grounding system of rural electrical region and propose operation condition for safe extension power supply through result of analysis. Characteristics of voltage drop, charging current, ground and short fault appear almost similarly with electrical characteristic of direct power supply. However, because unbalance of phases may cause relay's malfunction of ungrounded system and ground fault current of direct grounding system may demage facilities of ungrounded system, we propose safe system configuration such as impedance grounding system of neutral point.

Spatial homogenity of Mg (4 mole %):LiNb$O_3$ is investigated by studying the characteristic of Second Harmonic Generation in Mg:LiNb$O_3$ as a function of temperature and DC Electric Field. It is found that the temperaturs at which the intensity of the second harmonic is reduced to the first zero from its maximum for the phase matching condition is shifted linearly to the strength of DC Electric field applied to optic axis of Mg:LiNb$O_3$. From these results, the electro-optic coefficient of Mg:LiNb$O_3$ is estimated to be higher than that of Congruent LiNb$O_3$ by a factor of 1.5.
