The load cell is a force sensor and a transducer that is used to convert a physical force into a electrical signal for weighing equipment. Most conventional load cells are widely used a metal foil strain gauge for sensing element when force being applied spring element in order to converts the deformation to electrical signals. The sensitivity of a load cell is limited by its low gauge factor, hysteresis and creep. But silicon-based sensors perform with higher reliability. This paper presents the basic design and development of the silicon type load cell with an SUS630 diaphragm. The load cell consists of two parts the silicon strain gauge and the SUS630 structure with diaphragm. Structure analysis of load cell was researched by theory to optimize the load cell diaphragm design and to determine the position of peizoresistors on a silicon strain gauge. The piezo-resistors are integrated in the four points of silicon strain gauge processed by ion implantation. The thickness of the silicon strain gauge was polished by CMP under 100 ${\mu}M$. The 10 mm diameter SUS630 diaphragm was designed for loads up to 10 kg with 300 ${\mu}M$ of diaphragm thickness. The load cell was successfully tested, the variation of ${\Delta}$R(%) of four points on the silicon strain gauge is good linearity properties and sensitivity.

Crowbar system is usually applied to a pulsed power system in which a capacitor bank is discharged into a load. This provides a free wheeling path for the load current and prevents the capacitor from recharging due to a reverse voltage. Usually diodes have been used as a crowbar switch, but it is not a practical system because the cost of the diodes goes up enormously with increasing the system voltage and current. This paper presents a novel protection scheme of a charging and discharging system of a 300 kJ capacitor bank using a low-cost crowbar system which consists of a crowbar switch and resistors. Triggered vacuum switch(TVS) was used for a crowbar switch, and Rogowski coil was used to determine a trigger time of TVS. When this crowbar system is applied to our pulsed power system which consists of capacitor bank($123muF$), inductor() for forming a pulse, load resistor$(100 m\Omega)$, and a closing switch, instantaneous reversal voltage of capacitor bank could be limited less than 1.8 ㎸ until capacitor bank was charred to 17 ㎸.

Self-excited induction generators (SEIG) are gaining importance as compared to conventional generators due to their capability toconvert wind energy into electrical energy for a wide range of variation in operating speed. The performance of such a generator depends upon the load, rotor speed and excitation capacitance. Therefore, depending upon the operating conditions, the output voltage and frequency of this machine goes on changing and this imposes a restriction on its usage. In order to maintain constant voltage and frequency, it need controllers, which make the circuit complicated and also increases the overall cost of power generation. This paper presents a simple controller to regulate the output voltage and frequency of SEIG for variation in its operating conditions due to any change in load, rotor speed and excitation capacitance (R, N, C) and their combination. The controller presented is simple in design, user friendly and is also less expensive, as the elements used in the controller are only resistors, inductors and capacitors. A block of SEIG for steady state operation is also modeled and presented in this paper. SEIG, Controller and other components are modeled and simulated using Matlab/Simulink.

본 연구에서는 정착부 표면에 저항체를 설치한 앵커의 인발거동특성을 모형시험을 통해 규명하였다. 모형시험은 원형의 토조 중앙에 앵커체를 설치한 후 앵커를 등속으로 인발하면서 인발저항력을 측정하였다. 본 연구에서는 앵커형식(저항체 설치 유무), 앵커체 표면의 마찰조건($1/3{\phi}$, $2/3{\phi}$, ${\phi}$)과 돌기형 저항체 개수(1set, 2set, 4set), 돌기형 저항체 높이(0.05d, 0.10d, 0.20d) 등 총 10가지의 조건에 대하여 인발시험을 실시하였다. 인발시에는 일정한 속도(1mm/min)를 유지하였으며, 최대 80mm까지 인발하여 각 조건별 인발하중 및 변위를 측정하였다. 인발시험 결과 확장형 앵커는 마찰형 앵커와 비교하여 최대 인발저항력 뿐만 아니라 잔류 인발저항력도 크게 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 돌기형 저항체의 설치개수 증가에 따라 최대 인발저항력이 증가하였으며, 잔류 저항력 비율은 171~591%로 마찰형 앵커에 비해 현저하게 증가하였다.

Uniform current distribution among conductor layers in HTS cables using IPTs (inter-phase transformers) was investigated. Conventional methods for current distribution, in which resistors are inserted to conductor layers, causes additional loss. In contrast, IPTs, which use magnetic coupling, make it possible that the current in parallel circuits is distributed uniformly with any load, and minimize the loss. In this study, IPTs were designed and fabricated for examination of uniform current distribution in the conductor layers of HTS cables. The ITP was designed through calculation of its impedance that can cancel the inductance of the conduction layers. The experimental setup consisted of four IPTs and four inductors that simulate the conductor layer inductance. Each layer was designed to feed 10 A. We examined the behavior of current distribution with IPTs for various layer inductances.

The regenerating energy of the servo system is mostly consumed as heats through the regenerating resistors. For the response of the servo system to be more improved, the paper proposes the boost inverter using the regenerating energy, The proposed boost inverter has the additional capacitor installed on the DC-link circuit for charging the regenerating energy from the load. To get the better response of the servo system, the charged regenerating energy can be shortly re-applied to the output side as the finite impulse voltage, which can be controlled from information of reference voltages and feedbacked currents. It is verified by PSIM simulator that the response characteristics of the servo system using the proposed boost inventer is improved, comparing to that using the general inverter.

This paper proposes an optimal damping control algorithm of the DTI (Direct Two-level Inverter) to miniaturize and reduce the weight of auxiliary power supply for railway vehicles. The conventional auxiliary power supply for railway vehicles uses a DC-DC converter to maintain the inverter input power from the line voltage smoothly. The proposed topology does not use a DC-DC converter for reducing of manufacturing and maintenance costs. It also proposes a DTI topology removed damping resistors that generate ground signal noise in a certain period. At this time, a resonance phenomenon of DC-link voltage occurs due to variation of the inductive load, and a method of controlling the resonance phenomenon of DC-link voltage is required. In order to suppress the resonance phenomenon of the DC-link voltage, at a point before resonance occurs, this paper introduces an algorithm to suppress the resonance phenomenon of DC-link voltage by compensating the resonance component of the q axis voltage of the synchronous reference frame. The proposed algorithm verifies the effect through simulation and experiment.

이동통신(Mobile Telecommunication), X선 발생장치, 오존발생기, 레이저시스템 등에 사용되는 임펄스의 지속시간(pulse duration)은 충분히 짧고 빠른 상승률을 갖는 임펄스 전압을 발생시킬 수 있는 펄스발생장치(Pulse Generator)가 필요하다. 펄스발생장치 설계시 회로정수, 전력용 스위치는 임펄스 특성을 직접적으로 결정하게 된다. 펄스발생장치는 출력에너지가 순간적으로 부하에 전달될 때 최소의 손실로 전류지속시간 동안 안정성을 갖고 전류차단시 소호특성이 우수한 전력용 스위치가 요구된다. 펄스에너지 효율은 펄스 상승시간(rising time), 첨두치(peak value), 지속시간(pulse duration), 부하와의 임피던스 매칭(impedance matching) 등에 따라 민감하게 반응한다. 또한, 짧은 펄스지속시간과 높은 첨두치의 펄스에너지를 얻기 위해서는 펄스발생장치의 크기 및 경제성을 고려하지 않을 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 수$\mu$s의 펄스지속시간(pulse duration), 수 l00ns의 상승시간(rising time) 및 수 10kV의 첨두값(peak value), 수 10~100회의 반복율 갖는 안정적인 임펄스 형성을 위해 소형 펄스트랜스 2개를 조합한 cascading 방식을 적용하여 컴팩트(compact)한 펄스발생장치(pulse generator)를 구성하여 부하에 직접 제작한 임펄스를 인가한 결과 우수한 효과를 거둘 수 있었고, 그 적용에 대한 연구는 차후에 진행하고자 한다.
