This paper deals with a single-phase impedance-source dynamic voltage restorer (Impedance-DVR) to mitigate voltage sag/swell for the critical loads. The proposed system is composed of passive filter and impedance-source topology inverter. As an ESS(Energy Storage System) of the proposed system is employed the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC). To calculate and control the compensation voltage, single-phase $^id-^iq$ theory in dq rotating reference frame and PI controller are used. Simulation results under voltage sag and swell are presented to show the performance.

The wind tunnel test to identify the acoustic noise source position of the wind turbine blade was conducted in KARI low speed wind tunnel. Microphone array and time-domain beamforming methodology was applied to this study. To reduce the data processing time, a modified beamforming method with a criteria between calculation time step and grid size for rotating angle in the cylinderical coordinate system was proposed. The test results shows that the data processing time to identify the noise source position was reduced to 20% compared with conventional method. And the dominant noise source of the blade moves from inboard to blade tip as the frequency increases.

A BEM is highly efficient method in the sense of economic computation. However, boundary integration is not easy for the complex and moving surface e.g. in a rotating blade. Thus, Kirchhoff surface is designed in an effort to overcome the difficulty resulting from complex boundary conditions. A Kirchhoff surface is a fictitious surface which envelopes acoustic sources of main concern. Acoustic sources may be distributed on each Kirchhoff surface element depending on its acoustic characteristics. In this study, an axial fan is assumed to have loading noise as a dominant source. Dipole sources can be computed based on the FW-H equation. Acoustic field is then computed by changing Kirchhoff surfaces on which near-field is implemented, to analyze the effect of Kirchhoff surface on it.

It is important to diminish noise source of an electric motor used in appliances. We studied on the noise reduction of BLDC motor to drive a fan. Especially, this study was focused on detent torque caused by interaction between a permanent magnet of rotor and groove in stator. This source and rotating system brought about a resonance. This paper showed that the higher harmonic component of this torque had a main factor to lessen noise. So, we had designed new magnets with shape like a peanut and pseudo-sinusoidal flux density for low-noise BLDC motor in refrigerator.

This paper presents a unified control scheme for series-type active power filters combined with shunt passive filters for the source voltage unbalance compensation and the power factor correction simultaneously. The power factor correction is achieved by controlling the amplitude of reactive power current in a series filter as zero in a synchronously rotating reference frame. The proposed algorithm successfully compensates the source voltage unbalance and the power factor. The validity of the proposed scheme has been verified by simulation for a 3-kVA hybrid active power filter system.

This paper describes the construction, measurement, and characterization of an instrument for the distribution of luminous flux. This is done by measuring the flux around a light source while a detector and a source is rotating, and integrating it over an entire imaginary surface surrounding the source. We make a gonio radiometer to realize the scales of total luminous flux and geometrically integrate to get total spectral flux from standards of irradiance and illuminance. The uncertainties of a total flux in the gonioradiometry are 1.3%, and 0.4% below the standard lamps of NIST and NIM for each other.

Voltage Sags are the short-duration reductions in rms voltage caused by faults in the electric supply system and the starting of large loads, such as motors. In this paper, we use the dq transformation(dq stationary frame and dq synchronous rotating frame) for series voltage sag compensation algorithm. Analysis, simulation results are presented for voltage sags on a three-phase balanced voltage source.

This paper focuses on the numerical prediction of airflow-induced sound in DVD drives. As a first step, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is conducted to evaluate flow field characteristics due to the high-speed disk rotation, and to support the acoustic analysis. Acoustic analogy based on Ffowcs Wi1liams-Hawkings (FW-H) equation is adopted to predict aeroacoustic noise patterns. The integral solution for quadrupole volume source is included to identify the turbulence noise generated inside the DVD tray. The strength of sound pressure revel with respect to rotating speed is discussed to meet upfront demand on the high fidelity product development. The present study also focuses on the noise directivity and examines how much the sound noise is sensitive to change in rotating speed. Near-field noise is strongly affected by the flow field characteristic, which is caused by the complex shape of the tray. For a mid-field, the quadrupole noise play as a counterpart of thickness noise or loading noise, so it generates different sound noise Patterns compared with those in the near field.

An automatic echelon feeder of brown rice was presented for quality inspection system using color image processing. A echelon feeder was developed with vibratory feeder and cylindrical indent singulator having oblique light. The vibratory feeder consisted of a hopper, electromagnetic vibrator and multichannel grooves and supply the grain sample to the singulator. The feeding performance such as feed rate, blocking frequency of the channel was dependent on the size of groove and vibration pattern. A cylindrical indent singulator consisted of a rotating cylinder, prisms and a tungsten-halogen light source. It delivered grain kernels under the camera in a echelon form and illuminate the kernels with oblique ray and ambient light. The size of the indents installed on the surface of the rotating cylinder was determined by the dimensions of the paddy and a small triangular prism was placed in each indent to apply $ 20^{\circ}$ oblique light to the grain kernel.

This study evaluated the photocatalytic oxidation of BPA using the RPOD reactor under various conditions. This study found that the RPOD was effective for BPA degradation. It could reduce 1 mg/L of BPA by half within 5 min under the optimum conditions. According to the study results, $TiO_2$ coating was important for the BPA oxidation. As the coating thickness increased, the removal efficiency improved. The light source, the light intensity and the drum rotating speed were important for the oxidation. The UV light was more effective for the BPA degradation than the visible light. The removal efficiency improved with increasing intensity. As the drum speed increased, the removal efficiency improved. The maximum speed was 240 rpm in this study. Addition of air and nitrogen was not beneficial for the BPA degradation in this study probably due to enough oxygen in the water.
