콘크리트포장의 구조적 능력을 평가하는 가장 중요한 요소 중의 하나는 하중전달효과이다. 하중전달효과는 슬래브 상 하부 온도차, 다우월바 시공여부, 포장 노후도, 그리고 균열틈 등에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구의 목적은 콘크리트 포장의 하중전달효과 특성을 파악하고 하중전달효과에 영향을 주는 요소를 정량화하고 적절한 하중전달효과 조사방법을 제시하는 것이다. 연구결과 하중전달효과는 슬래브 표면온도가 아닌 슬래브 평균온도 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 하중전달효과는 온도가 내려가고 균열틈이 벌어질수록 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 다우월바를 시공한 구간의 경우 온도변화에 따라 하중전달효과는 큰 차이를 보이지 않은 반면, 다우월바를 시공하지 않은 구간에서는 온도가 내려갈수록 하중전달효과는 급격히 감소하였다. 다우월바를 시공한 구간이라도 포장이 노후화되면 하중전달효과는 온도가 하락함에 따라 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 조사대상 구간에서는 슬래브 단위온도 하락시 하중전달효과는 1.4% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

In the context of increasing electric energy consumption in a data center, energy efficiency improvement is strongly emphasized. In a data center, electric energy is largely consumed by DC power supply system, which is based on a rectifier composed by multiple parallel converters. Therefore, rectifier efficiency must be improved for minimizing loss of DC power supply system. Rectifier efficiency can be modulated by load allocation to converters because converter efficiency depends on input AC power. In this paper, we propose a new control method to maximize rectifier efficiency. The method can control load allocation to converters by introducing active power converter control scheme and start-and-stop of converters. In order to illustrate optimal load allocations in a rectifier, a maximization problem of rectifier efficiency is formulated as a nonlinear optimization one. The problem is solved by Lagrangian relaxation method and the computation results provide the validity of proposed method.

For each strand of wirerope sling, the international standards, ISO-8794, EN-13414 specify that the splice shall have five series of load carrying tucks. At least three of the load carrying tucks shall be made with the whole strand. And, the breaking force of the splice shall not be less than 70% or 80% of that of rope. But, There are no prescriptions for splicing types against different efficiency of each splicing type being used many workplace. In this study, analysis the work limit load efficiency according to variation of number of tucks and splicing types by experimental method As a result, the number of tucks 3+2 had the highest breaking efficiency.

This paper presents load transfer efficiency of skewed transverse joint of jointed concrete pavement with the fatigue model test. A 1/12 scale model was used to satisfy the geometry, loading, material similitude, which are variables to the skew angel of transverse joint. As the test results by fatigue load 700kgf applied, the deflection and stress of transverse joint were decreased as to increasing of skew angle of transverse joint. In addition, load transfer efficiency of transverse joint with skew angle is better than the load transfer efficiency of transverse joint without skew angle.

This paper presents a high frequency design approach for improving efficiency over a wide load range in the self-driven phase-shifted full-bridge converters for server power systems. In the proposed approach, a detailed ZVS analysis of the lagging leg switches in both the continuous conduction mode (CCM) and the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is presented. The optimum dead time and the determination of the appropriate operation mode are given for high efficiency according to the load conditions. Finally, the optimum operation conditions are defined to achieve a high-efficiency. A laboratory prototype operating at 80 kHz, rated 1 kW (12 V-83.3 A), is built to verify proposed theoretical analysis and evaluations. The experimental results show that the maximum efficiency is achieved as 95% and 83.5% at full load and 5% load conditions, respectively.

In this paper, We investigate the number of 795 transformer in the private electrical facilities and analyze the annual load factor. The results show that the annual load factor of transformer is 20.16% in manufacturing industry, education services(school) is 9.59%, retail and wholesale services is 19.68%, resort and leisure industry is 10.93%, office building is 13.10%, and apartment houses is 14.69%. Education services, resort and leisure industry are being operated with a very low annual load factor. The relatively small capacity of less than 500kVA transformer also been analyzed that is being operated with a low load factor. Therefore, In order to minimize the power loss of the transformer, it is advisable to complement the Transformer Efficiency Management system to be designed the efficiency is good transformer when the load is low. Analysis results will be used as the basis for the provision of transformer efficiency management system and be used High-efficiency transformers promotion system.

This paper proposes a power factor correction circuit with a high efficiency over a wide load range characteristics for a communication power supply. And the characteristic verification is applied to produce a design of prototype. Power factor correction circuit can reduce conduction losses by applying Bridgeless Boost Converter for efficiency. Over a wide load range to maintain the efficient, the control method of a PWM controller is divided by two sections according to the load area. In the low-load region, it was reduced switching losses by applying the critical conduction mode control method. On the other hand, in the heavy-load area, the hysteresis current control method is used to maintain the high efficiency over a wide load range by limiting the peak noise of the inductor.

This work presents a high efficiency phase shifted full bridge (PSFB) DC-DC converter for use in the second stage of a battery charger for neighborhood electrical vehicle (EV) applications. In the design of the converter, Lithium-ion battery cells are preferred due to their high voltage and current rates, which provide a high power density. This requires wide range output voltage regulation for PSFB converter operation. In addition, the battery charger works with a light load when the battery charge voltage reaches its maximum value. The soft switching of the PSFB converter depends on the dead time optimization and load condition. As a result, the converter has to work with soft switching at a wide range output voltage and under light conditions to reach high efficiency. The operation principles of the PSFB converter for the continuous current mode (CCM) and the discontinuous current mode (DCM) are defined. The performance of the PSFB converter is analyzed in detail based on wide range output voltage and load conditions in terms of high efficiency. In order to validate performance analysis, a prototype is built with 42-54 V / 15 A output values at a 200 kHz switching frequency. The measured maximum efficiency values are obtained as 94.4% and 76.6% at full and at 2% load conditions, respectively.

Many project (such ESCO or BRP) are being implemented for existing building energy saving. Most of medium or large building that use many energy being implemented this project. In the case of large or medium building must implement obligatorily Energy auditing. Therefore, They can be recognize their building energy consumption situation. But, In the case of small building don't need obligatorily energy auditing. Therefore, They can't be recognize their building energy consumption situation. As a result, Small buildings are difficult to participate in energy efficiency retrofit. In this research, Building owners of buildings energy load recognition and energy efficiency retrofit possible participation was analysis though survey. Survey results, Most building owners don't know building energy load. But they have a good mind to retrofit building energy efficiency. As a result, If they have energy load information, they will be participate energy efficiency retrofit.

Heavy load start but light load operation is a common case in practical drive applications. When an induction motor is employed for such applications, its rated power is usually chosen according to the heavy load start. Then, during light load operation, its efficiency and power factor are low. To solve this problem, it is proposed to adjust the motor windings from the startup to the normal operation conditions. In this paper, arrangement of the adjustable windings is introduced, air gap field with different windings is investigated, and steady state operation performance under various loads is examined. It can be seen that by using proper winding arrangement both startup and operation performances are satisfactory.
