In a power grid that has a high wind power penetration, the fast voltage support of a wind power plant (WPP) during the grid fault is required to stabilize the grid voltage. This paper proposes a voltage control scheme of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based WPP that can promptly support the voltage of the point of common coupling (PCC) of a WPP during the grid fault. In the proposed scheme, the WPP and DFIG controllers operate in a voltage control mode. The DFIG controller employs two control loops: a maximum voltage dip-dependent reactive current injection loop and a reactive power to voltage loop. The former injects the reactive power in proportion to the maximum voltage dip; the latter injects the reactive power in proportion to the available reactive power capability of a DFIG. The former improves the performance of the conventional voltage control scheme, which uses the latter only, by increasing the reactive power as a function of the maximum voltage dip. The performance of the proposed scheme was investigated for a 100-MW WPP consisting of 20 units of a 5-MW DFIG under various grid fault scenarios using an EMTP-RV simulator. The simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme promptly supports the PCC voltage during the fault under various fault conditions by increasing the reactive current with the maximum voltage dip.

We studied a electrical properties in GaAs/AlGaAs/InGaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors(PHEMT s) recessed by electron cyclotron resonance(ECR) plasma and wet etching. Using the $NH_4OH$ solution, a nonvolatile AlF$_3$layer formed on AlGaAs surface after selective gate recess is effectively eliminated. Also, we controlled threshold voltage($V_th$) using $H_3PO_4$ etchant. We have fabricated a device with 540 mS/mm maximum transconductance and -0.2 V threshold voltage by using $NH_4OH$ and $H_3PO_4$dip after ECR gate recessing. In a 2-finger GaAs PHEMT with a gate length of 0.2$\mu m$ and width of 100 $\mu m$, a current gain of 15 dB at 10 GHz and a maximum cutoff frequency of 58.9 GHz have been obtained from the measurement of current gain as a function of frequency at 12mA $I_{dss}$ and 2 V souce-drain voltage.

Because collagen is inherently piezoelectric, research is being actively conducted to utilize it to harvest energy. In this study, a collagen solution was prepared using edible low-molecular-weight peptide collagen powder, and collagen films were fabricated using a dip coating method. The collagen films prepared by dip coating showed a smooth surface without defects such as pinholes or cracks. Dehydrothermal treatment of the collagen films was performed to induce a stable molecular structure through cross-linking. The collagen film subjected to dehydrothermal treatment at 110 ℃ for 24 h showed a thickness reduction rate of 19 %. Analysis of the collagen films showed that the crystallinity of the collagen film improved by about 7.9 % after dehydrothermal treatment. A collagen film-based piezoelectric nanogenerator showed output characteristics of approximately 13.7 V and 1.4 ㎂ in a pressure test of 120 N. The generator showed a maximum power density of about 2.91 mW/m² and an output voltage of about 8~19 V during various human body movements such as finger tapping. The collagen film-based piezoelectric generator showed improved output performance with improved crystallinity and piezoelectricity after dehydrothermal treatment.
