This paper presents a novel neural based controller which controls the water level of the nuclear power plant steam generator. The controller consists of a model reference feedback linearization controller and a PI controller for stabilizing the feedback linearization controller. The feedback linearization controller consists of a neural network model and an inversing module which uses the neural network model for computing the control input to the steam generator. We chose Piecewise Linearly Trained Network(PLTN) and Recurrent Neural Netwrok(RNN) for an approximator of the plant and used these approximators in calculating the input from the feedback linearization controller. Combining the above two controllers gives a result of better performance than the case which uses only a PI controller Each control result of PLTN and RNN is given.

This paper deals with the optimization inverter design and minimization Conduced EMI noise by customizing IPM(Intelligent Power Module). Generally, In case of IPM, we realized that the trade-off relation between switching loss and spike voltage. Higher gate resistor causes tile lower spike voltage and the higher turn-off switching loss. But we know that the life cycle of inverter and the susceptibility of noise, so we optimized the gate resistor. Proposed method is that optimized the gate resistor suitable for the inverter and motor. The simulation and experimental results show that the spike voltage and Conduced EMI noise can be reduced without the additional circuit.

Recently, thanks to the development of artificial intelligence technologies such as image recognition, research on unmanned aerial vehicles is being actively conducted. In particular, related research is increasing in the field of military drones, which costs a lot to foster professional pilot personnel, and one of them is the study of an intelligent framework for autonomous mission performance of reconnaissance drones. In this study, we tried to design an intelligent framework for unmanned aerial vehicles using the methodology of designing an intelligent framework for service robots. For the autonomous mission performance of unmanned aerial vehicles, the intelligent framework and unmanned aerial vehicle module must be smoothly linked. However, it was difficult to provide interworking for drones using periodic message protocols with model-based interfaces of intelligent frameworks for existing service robots. First, the message model lacked expressive power for periodic message protocols, followed by the problem that interoperability of asynchronous data exchange methods of periodic message protocols and intelligent frameworks was not provided. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a message model extension method for message periodic description to secure the model's expressive power for the periodic message model, and proposes periodic and asynchronous data exchange methods using the extended model to provide interoperability of different data exchange methods.

The economic feasibility of a photovoltaic (PV) system is greatly influenced by the initial investment cost for system installation. Also, electricity generation by PV system is highly important. The profits competitiveness of PV system will be maximized through intelligent operation and maintenance (O&M). Here, we developed a microconverter which can maximize electricity generation from PV modules by tracking the maximum power point of PV modules, and help efficient O&M. Also, the microconverter mitigates current mismatch caused by shading, hence maximize power generation. The microconverters were installed PV modules and demonstrated through the field tests. Power outputs such as voltage, string current were measured with variuos weather environments and partial shadings. We found that PV modules with the microconvertors shows 12.05% higher power generation compared to the reference PV modules.

In the paper, velocity controller of switching module and temperature controller for the high-voltage static var compensator are proposed. Because of the continuous increase in demand for electric power, transmission and distribution facilities of power plant are required. There is a bottleneck problem of transportation routes according to new construction and expansion of power transmission facilities. Therefore there are researches to maximize the utilization of existing facilities and to increase transmission capacity without new construction. The previous static var compensator detects voltage of input circuit of power, switches the SCR directly and generates switching noise. The proposed method increases switching velocity and decreases noise using switching control based on the voltage between both sides of SCR. Also the proposed method enhance the stability using realtime temperature control for heating of the system from increase of switching velocity. We experiment the velocity and temperature control of the proposed high-voltage static var compensator in the real environment and verify the performance of the proposed system by applying in the real field.

This paper presents three dimensional structure of RF packages and the improvement effect of its electrical characteristics when implementing RF transceivers. We divided RF modules into several subunits following each subunit function based on the partitioning algorithm which suggests a method of three dimension stacking interconnection, PAA(pad area array) interconnection and stacking of three dimensional RF package structures. 224MHz ITS(Intelligent Transportation System) RF module subdivided into subunits of functional blocks of a receiver(RX), a transmitter(TX), a phase locked loop(PLL) and power(PWR) unit, simultaneously meeting the requirements of impedance characteristic and system stability. Each sub­functional unit has its own frequency region of 224MHz, 21.4MHz, and 450KHz~DC. The signal gain of receiver and transmitter unit showed 18.9㏈, 23.9㏈. PLL and PWR modules also provided stable phase locking, constant voltages which agree with design specifications and maximize their characteristics. The RF module of three dimension stacking structure showed $48cm^3$, 76.9％ reduction in volume and 4.8cm, 28.4％ in net length, 41.8$^{\circ}C$, 37% in maximum operating temperature, respectively. We have found that three dimensional PAA package structure is able to produce high speed, high density, low power characteristics and to improve its functional characteristics by subdividing RF modules according to the subunit function and the operating frequency, and the features of physical volume, electrical characteristics, and thermal conditions compared to two dimensional RF circuit modules.

Industrial network, often referred to as fieldbus, becomes an indispensable component for intelligent manufacturing systems. Thus, in order to satisfy the real-time requirements of field devices such as sensors, actuators, and controllers, numerous fieldbus protocols have been developed. But, the application of fieldbus has been limited due to the high cost of hardware and the difficulty in interfacing with multi-vendor products. As an alternative to fieldbus, the Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) technology is being adapted to the industrial environment. However, the crucial technical obstacle of Ethernet is its non-deterministic behavior that cannot satisfy the real-time requirements. Recently, the EtherCAT protocol becomes a very promising alternative for real-time industrial application due to the elimination of uncertainties in Ethernet. This paper focuses on the implementation of the IEC 61800 based real-time EtherCAT network for multi-axis smart driver. To demonstrate the feasibility of the implemented EtherCAT slave module, its synchronization performance is evaluated on the experimental EtherCAT testbed with a single axis smart driver.
