The objective of this study is to prepare lead-free thick film resistor (TFR) paste compatible with AlN substrate for hybrid microelectronics. For this purpose, CaO-ZnO-$B_2O_3-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass system was chosen as a sintering aid of $RuO_2$. The effects of the weight ratio of CaO to ZnO in glass composition, the glass content and the sintering temperature on the electrical properties of TFR were investigated. $RuO_2$ as a conductive and glass powder were dispersed in an organic binder to obtain printable paste and then thick-film was formed by screen printing, followed by sintering at the range between $750^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$ for 10 min with a heating rate of $50^{\circ}C$/min in an ambient atmosphere. The addition of ZnO to glass composition and sintering at higher temperature resulted in increasing sheet resistance and decreasing temperature coefficient of resistance. Using $RuO_2$-based resistor paste containing 40 wt%glass of CaO-20.5%ZnO-25%$B_2O_3$-7%$Al_2O_3$-15%$SiO_2$ composition, it is possible to produce thick film resistor on AlN substrate with sheet resistance of $10.6\Omega/\spuare$ and the temperature coefficient of resistance of 702ppm/$^{\circ}C$ after sintering at $850^{\circ}C$.

본 논문에서는 고압용 정지형 무효전력 보상장치의 스위칭 모듈의 속도 제어 및 온도 제어 기법을 제안한다. 지속적인 전력 수요의 증가에 따른 발전 설비 및 송 배전설비의 신규 건설이 요구되고 있으며, 전력수송설비의 신 증설로 전력수송로의 병목현상에 따른 문제점이 나타나고 있다. 따라서 기존설비의 이용률을 극대화하고, 신규건설 없이 송전용량을 증대시키는 방안이 연구 되고 있다. 기존의 정지형 무효전력 보상장치 제어 방식에서는 전원입력회로에서 전위 검출하여 SCR를 직접 스위칭 동작하게 되어 있어서 노이즈가 발생하게 된다. 제안한 방법은 SCR 양단의 전위차를 바탕으로 스위칭 제어하여 스위칭 속도가 향상되고 노이즈가 감소하게 된다. 또한 스위칭 속도 증가로 발생하는 발열을 실시간 온도 제어함으로 안정성을 향상하였다. 실제 실험 환경을 구성하여 제안한 고압용 정지형 무효전력 보상장치의 속도 및 온도 제어를 실험하고, 실제 현장에서 성능을 검증하였다. 제안한 고압용 정지형 무효전력 보상장치의 스위칭 모듈을 통한 온도 제어를 실험하고, 실제 현장에서 성능을 검증하였다.

바이오샘플의 DNA를 대량 증폭할 수 있는 휴대형 실시간 중합효소연쇄반응(Real-time PCR) 기기에서 히터는 PCR 반응 온도를 제어하기 위한 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 보통 빠른 히팅을 위해 소형 PCR 칩에 집적화되어 있고, 반도체 공정을 이용하여 박막형태로 제작되어 PCR 칩 제작 단가가 높은 편이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 값싸고 온도제어를 정확히 할 수 있는 히터로 칩 저항을 사용하는 것을 제안한다. 칩 저항을 사용한 히터는 구조가 단순하고 제작이 쉽다는 장점이 있다. $2.54{\times}2.54cm^2$ 크기의 실시간 PCR 칩 위에 칩 저항을 1개 또는 2개를 사용했을 때 온도분포를 시뮬레이션 하였고, 고른 온도분포를 갖는 PCR 칩을 제작했다. 또한 효율적인 PCR 칩 냉각을 위해 소형 fan이 내장된 하우징을 설계하였고, 3D 프린터로 제작했다. 온도제어는 마이크로프로세서를 이용한 PID제어법(Proportional-Integral-Differential control)을 적용했다. 온도상승비와 하강비는 각각 $18^{\circ}C/s$, $3^{\circ}C/s$이며, 각 PCR 반응 단계의 유지 시간을 30초로 하였을 때, 한 사이클은 약 2.66분이 걸렸고, 35 사이클은 약 93 분 내로 진행할 수 있었다.

The polymer crystallization process, promoting the formation of ferroelectric β-phase, is essential for developing polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based high-performance piezoelectric energy harvesters. However, traditional high-temperature annealing is unsuitable for the manufacture of flexible piezoelectric devices due to the thermal damage to plastic components that occurs during the long processing times. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of introducing a flash lamp annealing that can rapidly induce the β-phase in the PVDF layer while avoiding device damage through selective heating. The flash light-irradiated PVDF films achieved a maximum β-phase content of 76.52% under an applied voltage of 300 V and an on-time of 1.5 ms, a higher fraction than that obtained through thermal annealing. The PVDF-based piezoelectric energy harvester with the optimized irradiation condition generates a stable output voltage of 0.23 V and a current of 102 nA under repeated bendings. These results demonstrate that flash lamp annealing can be an effective process for realizing the mass production of PVDF-based flexible electronics.

We aimed to examine the co-doping effects of 1/6 mol% $Mn_3O_4$ and 1/4 mol% $Cr_2O_3$ (Mn:Cr = 1:1) on the reaction, microstructure, and electrical properties, such as the bulk defects and grain boundary properties, of ZnO-$Bi_2O_3-Sb_2O_3$ (ZBS; Sb/Bi = 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0) varistors. The sintering and electrical properties of Mn,Cr-doped ZBS, ZBS(MnCr) varistors were controlled using the Sb/Bi ratio. Pyrochlore ($Zn_2Bi_3Sb_3O_{14}$), ${\alpha}$-spinel ($Zn_7Sb_2O_{12}$), and ${\delta}-Bi_2O_3$ (also ${\beta}-Bi_2O_3$ at Sb/Bi ${\leq}$ 1.0) were detected for all of the systems. Mn and Cr are involved in the development of each phase. Pyrochlore was decomposed and promoted densification at lower temperature on heating in Sb/Bi = 1.0 system by Mn rather than Cr doping. A more homogeneous microstructure was obtained in all systems affected by ${\alpha}$-spinel. In ZBS(MnCr), the varistor characteristics were improved dramatically (non-linear coefficient, ${\alpha}$ = 40~78), and seemed to form ${V_o}^{\cdot}$(0.33 eV) as a dominant defect. From impedance and modulus spectroscopy, the grain boundaries can be seen to have divided into two types, i.e. one is tentatively assigned to ZnO/$Bi_2O_3$ (Mn,Cr)/ZnO (0.64~1.1 eV) and the other is assigned to the ZnO/ZnO (1.0~1.3 eV) homojunction.

This paper describes the continuing effort to develope a single acting free-piston Stirling engine/alternator combination for use of the household cogeneration. Free piston Stirling engines(FPSE) use variations of working gas pressure to drive mechanically unconstrained reciprocating elements. Stirling cycle free-piston engines are driven by the Stirling thermodynamic cycle which is characterized by an externally heated device containing working gas that is continuously re-used in a regenerative, reversible cycle. The ideal cycle is described by two isothermal process connected by two constant volume processes. Heat removed during the constant volume cooling process is internally transferred to the constant volume heating process by mutual use of a thermal storage medium called the regenerator. Since the ideal cycle is reversible, the ideal efficiency is that of Carnot. Free-piston Stirling engine is have no crank and rotating parts to generate lateral forces and require lubrication. The FPSE is typically comprised of two oscillating pistons contained in a common cylinder. The temperature difference across the displacer maintains the oscillations, and the FPSE operate at natural frequency of the mass-spring system. The power is generated from a linear alternator. The purpose of this paper is to describe the design process of the single acting free-piston Stirling engine/alternator. Electrical output of the single acting free-piston Stirling engine/alternator is about 0.95 kW.

In the thermal power plant, there are six manipulated variables: main steam flow, feedwater flow, fuel flow, air flow, spray flow, and gas recirculation flow. There are five controlled variables: generator output, main steam pressure, main steam temperature, exhaust gas density, and reheater steam temperature. Therefore, the thermal power plant control system is a multinput and output system. In the control system, the main steam temperature is typically regulated by the fuel flow rate and the spray flow rate, and the reheater steam temperature is regulated by the gas recirculation flow rate. However, strict control of the steam temperature must be maintained to avoid thermal stress. Maintaining the steam temperature can be difficult due to heating value variation to the fuel source, time delay changes in the main steam temperature versus changes in fuel flow rate, difficulty of control of the main steam temperature control and the reheater steam temperature control system owing to the dynamic response characteristics of changes in steam temperature and the reheater steam temperature, and the fluctuation of inner fluid water and steam flow rates during the load-following operation. Up to the present time, the Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller has been used to operate this system. However, it is very difficult to achieve an optimal PID gain with no experience, since the gain of the PID controller has to be manually tuned by trial and error. This paper focuses on the characteristic comparison of the PID controller and the modified 2-DOF PID Controller (Two-Degrees-Freedom Proportional-Integral-Derivative) on the DCS (Distributed Control System). The method is to design an optimal controller that can be operated on the thermal generating plant in Seoul, Korea. The modified 2-DOF PID controller is designed to enable parameters to fit into the thermal plant during disturbances. To attain an optimal control method, transfer function and operating data from start-up, running, and stop procedures of the thermal plant have been acquired. Through this research, the stable range of a 2-DOF parameter for only this system could be found for the start-up procedure and this parameter could be used for the tuning problem. Also, this paper addressed whether an intelligent tuning method based on immune network algorithms can be used effectively in tuning these controllers.

PURPOSES : This study aims to review the possibility of developing a road snow-melting system that can prevent slip accidents by maintaining a constant temperature of the winter roads and enhance performance of structures, including improvement of compressive strength by mixing carbon nanotube (hereafter referred to as CNT) with cement paste, the basic material. METHODS : To achieve the above purpose, an experiment was conducted by mixing power-type CNT and wrap-type CNT up to cement paste formulation by weight of 0.0wt%~4.1wt% in accordance with "KS L ISO 679(of cement strength test method)", and compressive strength was measured at 28 days of curing. In addition, the volume resistivity of the specimen was measured to test thermal and electrical characteristics, and the rate of temperature changes in specimen surface by power consumption was measured by passing electricity through the cross-sections of the specimen. Meanwhile, the criteria for checking the performance as a road snow-melting system was determined as volume resistivity of $100{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ or less. RESULTS : A comparative analysis between specimen with 0wt% CNT content in plain status and specimen containing various types of CNTs was carried out. From its results, it was found that compressive strength increased approximately 19%, showing the highest rate when 0.2wt% of wrap-type CNT was contained, but volume resistivity of $100{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ or less appeared only in specimens containing more than 0.2wt% CNT. In addition, it was observed that the surface temperature increased by $4.62^{\circ}C$ per minute on average in specimens containing 3.2wt% CNT. CONCLUSIONS : In this study, CNT was examined as an underlying material for a road snow-melting system, and the possibility of developing the road now-melting system was reviewed by conducting various experiments using CNT-Cement composites. From the experimental results, the specimens were found to have a superior performance when compared to the existing road snow-melting systems that place the heat transfer medium such as copper on the road. However, satisfactory strength performance were not obtained from the specimen containing CNT(2.0% or more) that functions as a heating element, which leads to the need for reviewing methods to increase the strength by using plasticizer or admixture.

본 연구에서는 분당복합화력발전소의 축열조 증설과 이에 따른 운영 방식 최적화를 통해 예상되는 온실가스 감축 효과에 대한 방법론과 정량화를 기술하였다. 분당복합화력은 일산, 안양, 부천복합화력과 함께 복합화력과 열공급 전용 지역난방발전소의 중간 형태이다. 이는 자체 운전 모드 변경을 통해 복합화력 기능인 전력만을 공급하는 것과 지역난방 기능의 전력 및 열을 동시 공급하는 운전 형태 변환이 가능하다는 의미이다. 따라서 축열조를 증설함으로써 고효율 모드인 전력 및 열을 동시 생산하는 열병합 발전과 전력 피크 부하를 위한 복합발전으로의 운전전환을 통해 전력 및 열공급시장의 요구량에 유연성 있게 대처할 수는 공급능력을 가지게 된다. 본 연구는 분당복합화력의 최근 3년(2008~2010년) 운전실적과 각 운전모드별 운전효율은 설계치를 사용하여 계산하였으며, 그 결과 증설된 축열조에 공급되는 축열량 1 Gcal당 GHG 감축 효과는 $97.95kg_{-}CO_2/Gcal$로 연간 약 $13,500Ton_{-}CO_2$의 감축 효과를 기대할 수 있다.
