A growing dynamic electrical demand has created an increasing interest in utilizing nonconventional energy sources like Photovoltaic (PV), wind power, etc. In this context, this paper focuses on the design and development of a composite power controller (CPC) in the decoupled double synchronous reference frame (DDSRF) combining the advantages of direct power control (DPC) and voltage oriented control (VOC) for a PV sourced grid connected inverter. In addition, a controller with the inherent active filter configuration is tested with nonlinear and unbalanced loads at the point of common coupling in both grid connected and autonomous modes of operation. Furthermore, the loss and reactive power compensation due to a non-fundamental component is also incorporated in the design, and the developed DDSRF model subsequently allows independent active and reactive power control. The proposed developed model of the controller is also implemented using MATLAB-Simulink-ISE and a Xilinx system generator which evaluate both the simulated and experimental setups. The simulation and experimental results confirm the validity of the developed model. Further, simulation results for the DPC are also presented and compared with the proposed CPC to further bring out the salient features of the proposed work.

Recently, DC distribution systems have become a hot issue because of the increase in digital loads and DC generation systems according to the expansion of renewable energy technologies. To obtain the practical usage of DC electricity, safety should be guaranteed. The main concerns for safety are twofold: one side is human protection against electric shocks, and the other is facility protection from short faults. "Effects of current on human beings and livestock" (IEC 60479) defines a human body impedance model in electric shock conditions that consists of resistive components and capacitive components. Although the human body impedance model properly works in AC electricity, it does not well match with the electric shock behavior in DC electricity. In this study, the contradiction of the human body impedance model defined by IEC 60479 in case of DC electricity is shown through experiments for the human body. From the analysis of experimental results, a novel unified human body impedance model in electric shock conditions is proposed. This model consists of resistive components, capacitive components, and an inductance component. The proposed human impedance model matches well for AC and DC electricity environments in simulation and experiment.

This paper presents electromagnetic interference(EMI) suppression method applied on the direct current(DC) motor driver for power tail gate control. EMI noise is generated by the fast switching of power devices connected to electric loads. It has become a matter of concern because of the vast increase in the number and sophistication of electronic system in automotive environment. The proposed EMI reduction method is based on the principle of reducing the transient speed of power devices by changing the parameters of the driver circuit related to the power MOSFET. In this paper, power losses were calculated by loss equations and thermal simulation was used to evaluate the effect on printed circuit board. Based on these results, the DC motor driver was fabricated and tested. The proposed method can help to design a DC motor driver which allows it to obtain an acceptable compromise between power losses and EMI.

The effective energy management method will provide the significant advantage to the residential customers under real time pricing plan since it can reduce the electricity charge by controlling the energy consumption according to electricity rate. The earlier studies for load management mainly aim to minimize the electricity charges and peak power but put a less emphasis on the human comfort dwelling in the residence. The discomfort and displeasure from the energy management only focusing on reduction of electricity charge will make the residential customer reluctant to enroll the real time pricing plan. In this paper, therefore, we propose optimal load control strategy which aim to achieve not only minimizing the electricity charges but also maintaining human comfort by introducing "the human comfort coefficient." Using the human comfort coefficient, the energy management system can reflect the various human personality and control the loads within the range that the human comfort is maintained. Simulation results show that proposed load control strategy leads to significant reduction in the electricity charges and peak power in comparison with the conventional load management method.

IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN에서 대부분의 디바이스는 배터리에 의존해 동작하기 때문에 효율적인 에너지 소비기능을 갖추도록 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문은 LR-WPAN에서 에너지 절약을 위한 두 개의 알고리즘, DDC(Dynamic Duty Cycle)와 DBT(: Dynamic Beacon Tracking)를 제안한다. DDC 알고리즘은 채널 상태에 따라 듀티 사이클을 동적으로 조정한다. DBT 알고리즘은 트래픽 조건에 따라 비콘 트래킹 모드를 적응적으로 제어한다. 또한, DDC와 DBT 알고리즘을 결합함으로써 프레임 전달률과 평균 지연 시간을 만족할 만한 수준으로 유지하면서 광범위한 입력 부하에 대해 효과적으로 에너지를 절약할 수 있다.

배전계통은 여러 가지 이유로 잦은 고장을 경험하기 때문에 고장위치 추정은 전력공급 신뢰도 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 그렇지만 배전계통은 주 선로에서 분기되는 3상 및 단상 분기선을 가지는 수지상 구조로 설계되며 각 구간 상에 수개의 로드 탭을 가지기 때문에 고장점 표정이 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 전력계통 고장점 표정기법에 대해서 조사, 분석하여 배전자동화시스템의 중앙제어장치에서 효과적으로 실행할 수 있는 고장거리 계산 기법을 결정한다. 그리고 EMTP 모의 결과를 통해 결정된 방법의 유효성을 검증한다.

In this paper, we present an iterative reliability-based modified majority-logic decoding algorithm for two classes of structured low-density parity-check codes. Different from the conventional modified one-step majority-logic decoding algorithms, we design a turbo-like iterative strategy to recover the performance degradation caused by the simply flipping operation. The main computational loads of the presented algorithm include only binary logic and integer operations, resulting in low decoding complexity. Furthermore, by introducing the iterative set, a very small proportion (less than 6%) of variable nodes are involved in the reliability updating process, which can further reduce the computational complexity. Simulation results show that, combined with the factor correction technique and a well-designed non-uniform quantization scheme, the presented algorithm can achieve a significant performance improvement and a fast decoding speed, even with very small quantization levels (3-4 bits resolution). The presented algorithm provides a candidate for trade-offs between performance and complexity.

Contact type Ic measurement system is needed to measure Ic continuously for long Bi-2223 tapes. Voltage and current terminals were designed several shapes for 4-probe method Ic measurement. Voltage terminals were made with brass and current terminals were made with Cu. We used 2 kinds of Bi-2223 tapes with different strength. When we measured Ic of Bi-2223 tape with Ag-Mg sheath, The proper weight was 0.3 kg and sharp pin type was better. according to voltage terminal shape and load. In case of Bi-2223 tape with Ag-Mn sheath, the proper terminal weight was 4 kg and sharp pin type was bad. It was possible to make continuous contact type Ic measurement system because We could get proper data - terminal shapes and loads - through these experiments.

As in any engineering application, the problem of structural assessment should face the different uncertainties present in real world. The main source of uncertainty in Health Monitoring System (HMS) applications are those related to the sensor accuracy, the theoretical models and the variability in structural parameters and applied loads. In present work, two methodologies have been developed to deal with these uncertainties in order to adopt reliable decisions related to the presence of damage. A simple example, a steel beam analysis, is considered in order to establish a liable comparison between them. Also, such methodologies are used with a developed structural assessment algorithm that consists in a direct and consistent comparison between sensor data and numerical model results, both affected by uncertainty. Such algorithm is applied to a simple concrete laboratory beam, tested till rupture, to show it feasibility and operational process. From these applications several conclusions are derived with a high value, regarding the final objective of the work, which is the implementation of this algorithm within a HMS, developed and applied into a prototype structure.

전력선 통신을 이용한 MH(메탈핼라이드) 램프용 조광제어시스템을 구성하기 위하여, 전력선 모뎀 및 MH 램프용 전자식 안정기를 설계하고, 안정기가 전력선 채널에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 전력선이 통신채널로써 사용될시 채널의 특성은 부하에 의하여 변화하게 되므로, 부하는 전력선 통신에 적합하도록 설계되어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전력선 통신에 적합한 전자식 안정기를 제안하고, ASK와 FSK 두 종류의 전력선 모뎀을 설계하여 맨체스터 코드와 DS/SS 방식을 각각 적용하였다. 실험결과, DS/SS 방식이 적용된 FSK 전력선 모뎀이 가장 우수한 특성을 갖는 것으로 확인 되었다.
