Many analytical and experimental studies on the active suppression of nonlinear panel flutter by using piezoceramic patch have been carried out. However, these active control methods have a few important problems; a large amount of power is required to operate actuators, and additional apparatuses such as sensor systems and controller are needed. In this study passive suppression schemes for nonlinear flutter of composite panel, which is believed to be more robust suppression system than active control in practical operation, are proposed by using piezoelectric inductor-resistor series shunt circuit. Toward the end, a finite element equation of motion for an electromechanically coupled system is proposed using the Hamilton's principle. To achieve the best damping effect, optimal shape and location of the piezoceramic(PZT) patches are determined by using genetic algorithms. The results clearly demonstrate that the passive damping scheme by using piezoelectric shunt circuit can effectively attenuate the flutter.

The PV power generation system is a comprehensive system that transmits the power generated through a PV panel to a grid connection and is composed of a solar panel, a structure, and an inverter grid connection system. One technology to increase the amount of power generated involves changing the incident angle of sunlight. This study examined the structure and control of a single-axis tracking PV system that increases the amount of power generated by changing the incident angle. The core content is a single-axis control system and technology configured to rotate the solar structure in the east-west direction around the north-south axis. A solar structure that follows the sun from sunrise to sunset in the east-west direction needs to secure structural stability and solar tracking control performance. A single-axis tracking system can generate up to 25% more power.

This research suggests maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for the solar photovoltaic (PV) power scheme using a new constant voltage (CV) fractional order incremental conductance (FOINC) algorithm. The PV panel has low transformation efficiency and power output of PV panel depends on the change in weather conditions. Possible extracting power can be raised to a battery load utilizing a MPPT algorithm. Among all the MPPT strategies, the incremental conductance (INC) algorithm is mostly employed due to easy implementation, less fluctuations and faster tracking, which is not only has the merits of INC, fractional order can deliver a dynamic mathematical modelling to define non-linear physiognomies. CV-FOINC variation as dynamic variable is exploited to regulate the PV power toward the peak operating point. For a lesser scale photovoltaic conversion scheme, the suggested technique is validated by simulation with dissimilar operating conditions. Contributions are made in numerous aspects of the entire system, including new control algorithm design, system simulation, converter design, programming into simulation environment and experimental setup. The results confirm that the small tracking period and practicality in tracking of photovoltaic array.

To minimize the cost and power consumption of PDP TV, a practical sustain circuit topology is presented with an address-and-display-period-separated driving scheme. The proposed sustain driver employs bidirectional switches to reduce the number of components. Operational principles and corresponding features are illustrated and compared with the conventional approach. The valuable contributions of the proposed high-performing sustainer has been proven by computer-aided simulations and experiments by using a prototype equipped with 7.5-inch diagonal panel operated at 200 kHz switching frequency.

In this paper, DSPOCS(Digital Switchgear-Panel Operation and Control Solution) is designed, which is the intelligent inference based operation and control solution to obtain the safety and reliability of electric power supply in substation based on IED. DSPOCS is designed as a scheduled monitoring and control task and a real-time alarm inference task, and is interlinked with BRES(Bus Reconfiguration Expert System) in the required case. The intelligent alarm inference task consists of the alarm knowledge generation part and the real-time pattern matching part. The alarm knowledge generation part generates automatically alarm knowledge from DB saves it in alarm knowledge base. On the other hand, the pattern matching part inferences the real-time event by comparing the real-time event information furnished from IEDs of substation with the patterns of the saved alarm knowledge base.; Especially, alarm knowledge base includes the knowledge patterns related with fault alarm, the overload alarm and the diagnosis alarm. In order to design the database independently in substation structure, busbar is represented as a connectivity node which makes the more generalized graph theory possible. Finally, DSPOCS is implemented in MS Visual $C^{++}$, MFC, the effectiveness and accuracy of the design is verified by simulation study to the typical distribution substation.

This paper presents a study of low frequencies volume velocity vibration control of a smart panel in order to reduce sound transmission. A distributed piezoelectric quadratically shaped polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer film is used as a uniform force actuator and an array of 4$\times$4 accelerometer is used as a volume velocity sensor for the implementation of a single-input single-output con rot system. The theoretical and experimental study of sensor-actuator frequency response function sho vs that this sensor-actuator arrangement provides a required strictly positive real frequency response function below about 900Hz. Direct velocity feedback could therefore be implemented with a limited gain which gives reductions of about 15㏈ in vibration level and about 8 ㏈ in acoustic power level at the (1, 1) mode of the smart Panel. It has been also shown that the shaping error of PVDF actuator could limit he stability and performance of the control system.

In the three-phase power system using the three-phase load, when any one-phase is open-phase, the unbalanced current flows and the single-phase power supplied by power supply produces over-current. As a result, the enormous damage and electrical fire can be given to the power system. In order to improve these problems, this paper is proposed a new control circuit topology for open-phase protection using semiconductor devices. Therefore, the proposed open-phase protection device (OPPD) enhances the sensing speed and precision, and has the advantage of simple fitting in the three-phase distribution panel in the field, as it manufactures into small size and light weight. As a result, the proposed OPPD minimizes the electrical fire from open-phase, and contributes for the stable driving of the power system.
