This paper implements a simultaneous solar and thermal energy harvesting system, as a hybrid energy harvesting (HEH) system, to convert ambient light into electrical energy through photovoltaic (PV) cells and heat absorbed in the body of PV cells. Indeed, a solar panel equipped with serially connected thermoelectric generators not only converts the incoming light into electricity but also takes advantage of heat emanating from the light. In a conventional HEH system, the diode block is used to provide the path for the input source with the highest value. In this scheme, at each time, only one source can be handled to generate its output, while other sources are blocked. To handle this challenge of combining resources in HEH systems, this paper proposes a method for collecting all incoming energies and conveying its summation to the load via the current mirror cells in an approach similar to the maximum power point tracking. This technique is implemented using off-the-shelf components. The measurement results show that the proposed method is a realistic approach for supplying electrical energy to wireless sensor nodes and low-power electronics.

도로의 주된 문제는 표층에서부터 작용하는 하중으로 인해 시간이 지남에 따라 균열 및 침하가 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법 중 하나로 지오셀(Geocell)을 사용하는 것이 있는데, 지오셀은 침식 방지, 평지 및 급경사지에서의 지반 안정화, 하중지지 및 지반 보전을 위한 구조적 보강을 위해 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내외 지오셀을 활용한 도로포장 적용 사례를 분석하고, 현장 시험과 LFWD(Light Falling Weight Deflectometer) 장비를 이용한 지오셀이 포함된 도로 포장 공법에 따른 지지력을 분석하고 기존도로포장 공법과 지지력을 비교·분석 하고자 한다.

The CFRP composite has unique properties that offer high strength and stiffness, even though it has light weight. Therefore it can be used in many industrial applications. When mechanical fasteners are used for joining composites, high stress concentrations appear near the edge of holes prepared for accommodating structural bolts and rivets. This presence of high stress concentrations can be a source of damage. The aim of this work is to evaluate fracture behavior and patterns of plain woven CFRP with circular hole and repairing patch element. The maximum strength and pattern for the plain woven carbon composite specimen with the repaired circular hole were examined. From the results, we show that repairing of the CFRP composite specimen with ($\pi$) 3~5 mm of circular hole diameter results in load rising effect and the repairing is more effective as bigger hole specimen.

This paper is to describe how to apply the Phase-shifted Full Bridge 100kHz high frequency soft-switching PWM method to 48[V], 200[A] DC/DC converter. The soft-switching is achieved from light load to full load by using phase-shifted zero voltage switching method with additional capacitors besides the MOSPET's of the right leg even though the leakage inductance of high frequency transformer is designed small. This method can reduce the switching tosses, EMI problems, and increase the effective duty. Also, this paper includes the simulation, analysis, and experiment results of the DC/DC converter unit.

Use of dual phase steel are growing for its high strength and light weight in automobiles. The effect of the martensite volume fraction with various impact velocities on the strength, ductility and absorbed energy of dual phase (ferrite-martensite) steels were investigated in low carbon 1.5% Mn steels which were soaked at 700.deg. C, 730.deg. C, 780.deg. C, and brine quenched. Both the yield load and the maximum impact load increased when the martensite volume fraction increased, the loading time and the absorbed energy of the specimen decreased when the martensite volume fraction increased.

The Stirling refrigerators have been widely used for the cooling of the infrared detector and HTS to the cryogenic temperature. The Stirling refrigerator with the rotary compressor are applicable to the cooling device for the compact mobile thermal imaging system, because the refrigerators have the compact structure and light weight. The typical performance factors of the Stirling refrigerator are the cool-down time, cooling capacity at the desired temperature and the input power. And the above performance factors are depends on the thermal insulation characteristics of the Dewar. In this study, the steady thermal load of the Dewar and the performance of the Stirling refrigerator were measured. The results show the dependency of the input power and the charging pressure on the performance of the refrigerator.

In this paper, a single-switch ZVZCS quasi-resonant CLL isolated DC-DC converter for driving a low-power (less than 100 W) 32'' LED backlighting liquid crystal display television (LCD TV) is proposed. The proposed converter exhibits both forward and flyback operational characteristics. All semiconductors are activated and deactivated under the soft switching conditions during the switching transition without additional active devices. The switching frequency varies less than about 10 kHz for load variations, leading to minimizing the efficiency reduction under light load. Furthermore, the low di/dt and dv/dt by soft switching enhance the electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance above 1 MHz. A theoretical analysis is described in detail, and a 72-W prototype converter verifies the validity of the analysis.

This paper deals with a systematic approach to GA-PI controller design for static VAR compensator(SVC) using genetic algorithm(GA) to improve system stability. Genetic algorithms(GAs) are search algorithms based on the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics. To verify the validity of the proposed method, investigated damping ratio of the eigenvalues of the electro-mechanical modes system with and without SVC. Also, we considered dynamic response of terminal speed deviation and terminal voltage deviation by applying a power fluctuation at heavy load, normal load and light to verify the robustness of the proposed. Thus, we proved usefulness of GA-PI controller design to improve the stability of single machine-bus with SVC system.

유도전동기 고정자자속 기준제어의 최대효율제어에서 경부하시 자속은 작은 값이 된다. 이러한 상태에서 갑자기 부하가 증가하였을 경우 전동기는 부하토크에 대응하는 토크를 발생시켜야 하지만, 낮은 자속 때문에 토크제한조건에 의한 토크성분전류는 작은 값으로 제한되며, 부하토크에 대응하는 토크를 발생시키지 못해서 속도제어가 안 되는 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법을 제안한다.

The portion of lighting power consumption for our country is up to 20~30% of the total amount. Currently, most of the DSM(Demand side management) of lighting power is delivered in supply of high efficient lighting to customers. On the contrary, applications of lighting power to power load leveling are still rare. In this paper, the simulations for various control types of lighting power for load leveling are tried, and we obtained the cost effective and optimal control method through that. This simulation was executed in test office with fluorescent light by us based on applying 8 control types(on, off & dimming), considering customers' satisfaction, for instance, minimum intensity of illumination allowed. According to the result of this test, we found that mixed type(chessboard(on-off) plus dimming control(10%)) is most effective.
