In this paper, wind power system with direct-driven axial-flux type permanent-magnet (PM) synchronous generator, 10 [kVA], 300 [rpm], is presented. In order to analyze the performance of axial PM generator, finite-element (FE) analysis is used, and the 2-dimensional equivalent model is developed. The steady-state and transient-state characteristics are respectively analyzed at no-load and resistive-inductive loads. The test results of driving characteristics are presented as well. The results are very similar to predicted performance of design. Proposed generator is feasible for use with a small-class wind power applications.

This paper analyzes the steady-state operating characteristics of doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG) and fixed-speed induction generator(FSIG) in wind turbine system. It also presents a modeling and simulation of a grid-connected wind turbine generation system for dynamics analysis on MATLAB/Simulink, and compares the responses between DFIG and FSIG wind turbine systems with respect to wind speed variation, 3-phase fault and 1-phase ground fault of the network. Simulation results show the variations of generator's active/reactive output, rotor speed, terminal voltage, fault current, etc. Case studies demonstrate that DFIG illustrates better performance compared to FSIG.

The high-voltage pulse generator is consist of transformers of fundamental wave and harmonic waves, and shunt capacitances. The pulse has the fundamental wave and the harmonic waves that have been increased as a series circuit by the transformers to make high voltage pulse. This paper shows the high-voltage pulse generator simulation using a circuit program with experiment data. In the equivalent circuit, magnetized inductances and loss resistances which affect output voltage, have been obtained. The output capacitor circuits have characteristics of band pass. The output voltages of the pulse width 50% and 25%(PWM) were obtained. The output of the high-voltage pulse generator is 2.5kHz, 1.8kV.

This article investigates kinematic characteristics of a Sch$\ddot{o}$nflies motion generator which represents a mechanism having translational three Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) and rotational one-DOF motion about a fixed axis. The mechanism consists of the base plate and the moving plate, and four identical limbs connecting them. Each limb employs two revolute joints (RR), one parallelogram (Pa), and two revolute joints (RR) from the base plate to the moving plate. The mechanism is driven by four actuators which are placed on the base plate to minimize dynamic loads. It is shown through simulations that the mechanism can be designed to secure large dexterous workspace and thus has very high potential for actual applications such as haptic devices and high-speed requiring tasks such as pick-and-place operations, riveting, screwing tasks, etc.

A problem of a unsteady time-dependent flow in a channel is of practical importance and widely considered in the design of devices such as heat exchangers, duct, and electronic equipments. The characteristics of fluid flow in channel with oscillating vortex generator was investigated experimentally. The main object of this study was to investigate the effect of the excited frequency, the excited amplitude, and Reynolds numbers on the generated frequency. Flow patterns were visualized using smoke generator and generated frequencies were measured using hot wire anemometer. When the excited frequency is increased, excited amplitude decreased and Reynolds number increased, the strength of PSD of generated frequency is decreased.

This paper presents a neural network model representing complex hydro-thermo-dynamic characteristics of a steam generator in nuclear power plants. The key modeling processes include training data gathering process, analysis of system dynamics and determining of the neural network structure, training process, and the final process for validation of the trained model. In this paper, we suggest a training data gathering method from an unstable steam generator so that the data sufficiently represent the dynamic characteristics of the plant over a wide operating range. In addition, we define the inputs and outputs of neural network model by analyzing the system dimension, relative degree, and inputs/outputs of the plant. Several types of neural networks are applied to the modeling and training process. The trained networks are verified by using a class of test data, and their performances are discussed.

This paper describes the combination surge generator for applying performance tests of surge protective devices. The $8/20{\mu}s$ waveform applies to low impedance circuits and components and is commonly used to determine the characteristics of surge protective devices. And the $1.2/50{\mu}s$ waveform applies to high impedance circuits and components and is used for testing dielectric behavior. Therefore, the combination surge generator, which generates $1.2/50{\mu}s$ voltage waveform under open-circuit conditions and $8/20{\mu}s$ current waveform under short-circuit condition, was proposed. Also this generator can produce $10/1000{\mu}s$ as well as $0.5{\mu}s/100kHz$ ring waveform.

Mono-disperse particles generated by a condensation particle generator are widely used to meet the experimental and industrial needs. The characteristics of particles generated by homogeneous nucleation have been studied experimentally using a laminar flow condensation particle generator. Dry nitrogen gas saturated with oleic acid vapor was cooled well below the saturation temperature causing the highly supersaturated vapor to nucleate. The dependence of GSD(Geometric Standard Deviation), GMD(Geometric Mean Diameter), and the mass concentration of particles on the temperature at the evaporator, flow rate and the temperature condition at condenser was studied. The experimental results show that the mass concentration of particles is affected by the radial temperature profile at condenser. Nucleation at the center of the condenser causes the mass concentration of particles to increase. The experimental results also show that the suppression of additional nucleation by a constant temperature condition at the condenser increases the mean diameter of particle.

Factors leading to poor control of the steam generator in a nuclear power plant are nonminimum phase characteristics, unreliable of flow measurements and nonlinear characteristics, which increase more at low power(below 20%) operation. And the study of problems for water level control in the steam generator is that design water level controller only power renge, not entire. This paper introduces a model predictive control(MPC) algorithm for solving poor control factors and quadratic programming(QP) for solving input constraints. Also presents the design method of stable model predictive controller in the entire power range. The simulation results show the efficiency of proposed MPC controller by comparing with PI controller, and effect of the design parameters.

This paper describes output characteristics analysis of outage and phase jump generator for microgrid. The outage and phase jump can be generated with 3-phase voltage disturbance generator. As soon as the outage occurs the STS(Solid Transfer Switch)s are switched off. At the beginning of the outage the PCS is required to limit the reverse current within the rated PCS output current. In case of phase jump the PCS output voltage phase should be adjusted. The generator output characteristics are analysed through simulation.
