This paper proposes the modeling and control strategy to track the MPPs of hybrid PV and Wind power systems, using a new dual input boost converter. The dual input power conditioning system with an independent MPPT control scheme is introduced with minimum number of circuit elements in order to reduce the switching loss, size and cost of the system. Since the operating conditions for the PV and Wind power systems are very distinct from each other, an efficient and superior control system is required to track the MPPs of both renewable sources with the use of a simply-structured single-ended single-inductor converter. The design of Power-Conditioning System (PCS) and detail control strategy are presented in this paper. To provide independent tracking of MPPs, a variable duty-cycle control strategy is employed for the wind system and a variable frequency strategy is employed for the PV system. Finally, the proposed dual-input converter for hybrid power conditioning system is implemented and the hardware test results are presented. From the hardware experiment, it is concluded that the proposed system successfully tracks the MPPs of both of the renewable power systems independently.

Many themes have been studied for FMS problems. But most researches have focused on specific themes; Machine selection, Loading, Routing, Machine layout, etc. So many decision makers who want to introduce FMS to his factory, have many problems, because they do not know either what size of FMS should be introduced or what amount of money should be invested. The objective of this research is to help the decision makers who want to introduce FMS. This research consists of three major part, first, Machine selection, second, Loading, and third, Machine Layout. In the first part of the research, machines are selected with minimum cost satisfying the given demand of each part. In the second part, each operations with its required tools are allocated to those machines. In the third part the locations of each selected machines are determined. And dissimilarity coefficients between each pair of machines are calculated as the measure of distance. With above three steps, we have selected machines, allocated operations to those machines, and the layout configuration of those machines. And for each three steps, Mixed Integer Programming models are formulated. In order to solve the large problems and reduce the computer execution time, three heuristic algorithms are developed for the three mixed integer programming models.

The semiconductor industry has continuously been looking for the ways to improve yield and to reduce manufacturing cost. The layout modification approach, one of yield enhancement techniques, is applicable to all design styles, but it does not require any additional resources in terms of silicon area. The layout modification method for yield enhancement consists of making local variations in the layout of some layers in such a way that the critical area, and consequently the sensitivity of the layer to point defects, is reduced. Chen and Koren (1995) proposed a greedy algorithm that removes defect sensitive area using via moving, but it is easy to fall into a local minimum. In this paper, we present a via moving algorithm using simulated annealing and enhance yield by diminishing defect sensitive area. As a result, we could decrease the defect sensitive area effectively compared to the greedy algorithm presented by Chen and Koren. We expect that the proposed algorithm can make significant contributions on company profit through yield enhancement.

Although a number of container terminal simulators have been developed for various purposes, none of the existing simulators allow the system structure to reuse the system structure depending on application. Our goal is to develop highly reusable, highly inter-operable and flexible container terminal simulation system. The High Level Architecture(HLA) is an architecture for reuse and inter-operation of simulation. It is based on premise that no simulation can satisfy all use and users. An individual simulation or set of simulations developed for one purpose can be applied to another application under the HLA concept of the federation : a composable set of interacting simulations. The intent of the HLA is a structure which will support reuse of capabilities available in different simulations, ultimately reducing the cost and time required to create a synthetic environment for a new purpose, and the possibility of distributed collaborative development of complex simulation applications. In this paper, we discuss the design of a HLA-based port container terminal simulation system. Furthermore, we describe various technical motivations for HLA, the key elements of the architecture and how they are minimum and essential to the goal of reuse and interoperability.

In this research, optimum design of the combined solar collector, geothermal heat pump and thermal seasonal storage system for heating and cooling a sample greenhouse is studied. In order to optimize the system from technical point of view some new control strategies and functions resulting from important TRNSYS output diagrams are presented. Temperatures of ground, rock bed storage, outlet ground heat exchanger fluid and entering fluid to the evaporator specify our strategies. Optimal heat storage is done with maximum efficiency and minimum loss. Mean seasonal heating and cooling COPs of 4.92 and 7.14 are achieved in series mode as there is no need to start the heat pump sometimes. Furthermore, optimal parallel operation of the storage and the heat pump is studied by applying the same control strategies. Although the aforementioned system has higher mean seasonal heating and cooling COPs (4.96 and 7.18 respectively) and lower initial cost, it requires higher amounts of auxiliary energy either. Soil temperature around ground heat exchanger will also increase up to $1.5^{\circ}C$ after 2 years of operation as a result of seasonal storage. At the end, the optimum combined system is chosen by trade-off between technical and economic issues.

In an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system, conventional interpolation techniques cannot correctly balance performance and overhead when estimating dynamic long-delay channels in single frequency networks (SFNs). In this study, classical filter analysis and design methods are employed to derive a complex interpolator for maximizing the resistible echo delay in a channel estimator on the basis of the correlation between frequency domain interpolating and time domain windowing. The coefficient computation of the complex interpolator requires a key parameter, i.e., channel length, which is obtained in the frequency domain with a tentative estimation scheme having low implementation complexity. The proposed complex adaptive interpolator is verified in a simulated digital video broadcasting for terrestrial/handheld receiver. The simulation results indicate that the designed channel estimator can not only handle SFN echoes with more than $200{\mu}s$ delay but also achieve a bit-error rate performance close to the optimum minimum mean square error method, which significantly outperforms conventional channel estimation methods, while preserving a low implementation cost in a short-delay channel.

We demonstrate the MMIC(monolithic microwave integrated circuit) frequency doublers generating stable and low-cost 29 ㎓ local oscillator signals from 14.5 ㎓ input signals. These devices were designed and fabricated by using the MMIC integration process of 0.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ gate-length PHEMTs (pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors). The measurements showed S$\_$11/ of -9.2 dB at 14.5 ㎓, S/sub22/ of -18.6 dB at 29 ㎓ and a minimum conversion loss of 18.2 dB at 14.5 ㎓ with an input power of 6 dBm. The fundamental signal of 14.5㎓ was suppressed below 15.2 dBc compared with the second harmonic signal at the output port, and the isolation characteristics of the fundamental signal between the input and the output port were maintained above 30 dB in the frequency range of 10.5 ㎓ to 18.5 ㎓.

In this paper, we deal with a network optimization problem arising from the deployment of Ethernet-based BcN access network. BcN convergence services require that access networks satisfy QoS measures. BcN services have two types of traffics: stream traffic and elastic traffic. Stream traffic uses blocking probability as a QoS measure, while elastic traffic uses delay factor as a QoS measure. Incorporating the QoS requirements, we formulate the problem as a nonlinear mixed-integer programming model. The proposed model seeks to find a minimum cost dimensioning solution, while satisfying the QoS requirement. We propose tabu search heuristic algorithms for solving the problem, and simulate tabu result. We demonstrate the computational efficacy of the proposed algorithm by solving a network design problem.
