A conventional power supply to drive a microwave oven has ferro-resonant transformer and high voltage Capacitor(HVC). Though it is simple, transformer is bulky, heavy and has low-efficiency. To improve this defect a high frequency inverter type power supply has been investigated and developed in recent years. But, because of additional control circuit and switching device, inverter-type power supply is more expensive than conventional one. In this study, A new pulse power supply for Microwave Oven using novel HVC embedded high frequency transformer is proposed for down-sizing, cost reduction, and efficiency emprovement of Inverter type power supply. Also, equivalent circuit model is derived by impedance measurements. And the operation of proposed pulse power supply is verified by simulations and experimental results.

In Recent, it became necessary to envelope the technology about electrodeless fluorescent lamp according to demand of the electrodeless fluorescent lamp system that used higher efficiency and advantage of long-lifetime. Especially, in the electrodeless fluorescent lamp which used H-mode, efficiency of lamp is decided from matching parameter of antena and inverter So it is of the utmost importance to design antena and inverter. Therefore, this paper used a transformer principle for efficiency rising of electrodeless fluorescent lamp and interpreted an equivalent circuit, used an impedance analyzer in order to confirm a performance enhancement of lamp along design of antenna, and confirmed parameter characteristic of R, L, C, Z, Phase, Q-factor along a change of magnetic flux density. Also, this paper confirmed a luminance characteristic of electrodeless lamp along parameter change with measuring optical characteristic along a change of magnetic flux density.

The small-scaled onsite generators such as photovoltaic power, wind power, biomass and fuel cell belong to decarbonization techniques. In general, these generators tend to be connected to utility systems, and they are called distributed generations (DGs) compared with conventional centralized power plants. However, DGs may impact on stabilization of utility systems, which gets utility into trouble. In order to reduce utility's burdens (e.g., investment for facilities reinforcement) and accelerate DG introduction, the advanced operation algorithms under the existing utility systems are urgently needed. This paper presents the advanced voltage regulation method in power systems since the sending voltage of voltage regulators has been played a decisive role restricting maximum installable DG capacity (MaxC_DG). For the proposed voltage regulation method, the difference from existing voltage regulation method is explained and the detailed concept is introduced in this paper. MaxC_DG estimation through case studies based on Korean model network verifies the superiority of the proposed method.

1 mol% $Li_2O$ excess $0.9(Na_{0.52}K_{0.48})NbO_3-0.1LiTaO_3$ lead-free piezoelectric multilayer ceramic actuators were investigated to determine their aging properties. To reduce the thermal aging behavior, we applied a rectified unipolar electric field of 5 kV/mm to the specimen to accelerate the electric aging behavior. By employing a rectified unipolar electric field for the piezoelectric actuators, we could remove undesirable heating from the relaxation current in the motion of the ferroelectric domain. To accelerate the aging test, the applied electric fields had a frequency of 900 Hz. To have enough time for charging and discharging, we employed an accurate time constant to design the equivalent circuit model for the aging tester. To extract exact aging behavior, we measured the pseudo-piezoelectric coefficient before and after the aging process. We also measured the electro-mechanical coupling coefficient, the frequency-dependent dielectric permittivity, and the impedance to compare with fresh and aged specimen.

Isolated power systems (IPS) are often characterized by a weak grid due to small power grids. The grid side voltage is no longer equivalent to an ideal voltage source of an infinitely big power grid. The conversion control of new energy sources, parameter perturbations as well as the load itself can easily cause the system voltage to oscillate or to become unstable. To solve this problem, increasing the energy-storage power sources is usually used to improve the reliability of a system. In order to provide support for the voltage, the energy-storage power source inverter needs an method to control the voltage source. Therefore, this paper has proposed the active damping control of a voltage source inverter (VSI) based on virtual compensation. By simplifying the VSI double closed-loop control, two feedback compensation channels have been constructed to reduce the VSI output impedance without changing the characteristics of the voltage gain of a system. This improvement allows systems to operate stably in a larger range. A frequency-domain analysis, and simulation and experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Piezo-based active structural health monitoring (SHM) requires amplifiers specifically designed for capacitive loads. Moreover, with the increase in number of applications of wireless SHM systems, energy efficiency and cost reduction for this type of amplifiers is becoming a requirement. General lab grade amplifiers are big and costly, and not built for outdoor environments. Although some piezoceramic power amplifiers are available in the market, none of them are specifically targeting the wireless constraints and low power requirements. In this paper, a piezoceramic transducer amplifier for wireless active SHM systems has been designed. Power requirements are met by two digital On/Off switches that set the amplifier in a standby state when not in use. It provides a stable ${\pm}180$ Volts output with a bandwidth of 7k Hz using a single 12 V battery. Additionally, both voltage and current outputs are provided for feedback control, impedance check, or actuator damage verification. Vibration control tests of an aluminum beam were conducted in the University of Houston lab, while wireless active SHM tests of a wind turbine blade were performed in the Harbin Institute of Technology wind tunnel. The results showed that the developed amplifier provided equivalent results to commercial solutions in suppressing structural vibrations, and that it allows researchers to perform active wireless SHM on moving objects with no power wires from the grid.

With recent demand for the renewable energy resources, we conducted a research on the energy conversion and storage device of supercapacitor. The hybrid graphene-zinc oxide(GZO) electrodes for the supercapacitors (SCs) were fabricated and investigated. To increase the electrical conductivity of the GZO electrode, the rapid thermal annealing(RTA) in $Ar/H_2$(10%) atmosphere was applied and the effect was examined by comparing it with RTA at Ar atmosphere. In Raman spectroscopy, the electrodes annealed at 400? in $Ar/H_2$ atmosphere showed a lower ratio of D/G peak than that of annealed at Ar atmosphere, and had a larger specific capacitance(Sc) in the cyclic voltammetry(CV), and a lower the equivalent series resistance(ESR) in the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). The reason seems to come from the better mixing of the graphene and zinc oxide by the RTA in $Ar/H_2$(10%).

고유치 문제에 기초한 모드 전송선로 이론 (Modal Transmission-Line Theory: MTLT)을 이용하여 비대칭 정방형 격자로 구성된 광 도파로의 누설특성과 Bragg 조건들을 정확하게 분석하였다. 비대칭 정방형 격자로 구성된 광도파로는 Bragg 조건들에서 leaky-wave stop-band가 나타났으며, Bragg 조건 근처에서 Rayleigh-Wood 조건에 기인한 anomalies 현상이 발생함을 보였다. 또한, 주기적인 격자구조의 특성 임피던스에 기초한 종 방향 등가 전송선로를 구성하여 광 도파로의 DFB 특성을 Bragg 조건에서 분석하였다. 분석 결과, leaky-wave stop-band가 발생하는 Bragg 조건 근처에서 DFB 도파로의 반사전력이 최대가 되는 filtering 특성이 활성화되는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper specifies the new power supply paradigm converting 154kV voltage level into 22.9kV class with equivalent capacity using superconducting rower facilities and analyze the fault current characteristics with and without HTS-FCL (High Temperature Superconducting-Fault Current Limiter). Superconducting new power system is the power system to which applies the 22.9kV HTS cable in parallel to HTS transformer and HTS-FCL with low-voltage and mass-capacity characteristics replacing 154kV conventional cable and transformer. The fault current of superconducting new power system will increase greatly because of the mass capacity and low impedance of HTS transformer and cable. This means that the HTS-FCL is necessary to reduce the fault current below the breaking current of circuit breaker. This paper analyze the fault current and suggests the parallel HTS-FCL scheme complementing the inherent problem of HTS-FCL, that is recovery after quenching is impossible within shorter than a few seconds.
