현재 가정 및 사무실 사용전력 가운데 실제 이용되지 않고 전자기기의 대기상태에서 버려지는 대기소모전력이 5${\sim}$10%에 이르는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이를 줄이기 위한 노력이 선진국들뿐만 아니라 국제적 차원에서 경주되고 있다. 우리나라도 가전기기 및 산업기기의 자동화 및 on-line화에 따른 대기소모전력이 점차 증가하고 있어, 전기에너지 낭비의 큰 요인이 되고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 온실가스 배출량을 감축하려는 국제협약에도 배치된다. 따라서 대기전력을 줄이기 위한 범국가적인 제도적 기술적 노력을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 대기전력절감기술 및 최근 국제동향에 대해서 기술하였다.

In this paper, new buck converter of a TV power system is presented. First, we devised a revised driving circuit for an emitter-coupled type buck converter, by which it is possible to reduce the material cost of transformers and voltage stress of power device. Secondly, we adopted a hybrid oscillation technique. When TV system is in off-stage, initial standby power which is necessary for remote controllable TV system is supplied by self-oscillating mode. Main power which is necessry in TV system bing on state is provided by an externally triggered oscillating mode. The switching frequency is synchronized to the oscillating frequency of horizontal deflection in TV, by which we can reduce picture noises and the size of power transformer. Thirdly, a simple error amplifier is inserted to the feed-back loop to keep the output voltage constant which means pulse width modulatio mode is added in driving part of power device. Finally, we showed by experiments that our proposed converter performs well enough to be close to the theoretically predicted values.

Low power circuit techniques have been developed to realize the highest possible performance of embedded SRAM at 1V power supply with$0.5\mu\textrm{m}$ single threshold CMOS technology in which the unbalance between NMOS and PMOS threshold voltages is utilized to optimize the low power CMOS IC design. To achieve the best trade-off between the transistor drivability and the subthreshold current increase, the ground potential of memory array is raised to suppressthe subthreshold current. The problems of lower cellstability and bit-line dealy increase due to the enhanced array ground potential are evaluated to be controlled within the allowable range by careful circuit design. 160MHz, 128kb embedded SRAM with 3.4ns access time is demonstrated with the power consumption of 14.8mW in active $21.4{mu}W$ in standby mode at 1V power supply.

Electricity is the prime commodity in mobile device, e.g. smart phone, PDA, MP3 player and etc. This strict restriction on power consumption requirement of the mobile device puts unique demand in designing hardware and software components of the device. In this paper, we address the issue of minimizing the power consumption in retrieving the continuous media data from the disk drive for real-time playback purpose. Different from the legacy text based data, real-time multimedia playback requires that the storage supplies the data block continuous fashion. This may put immense burden on the power scarce environment since the disk Is required to be active for the entire playback duration. We develop elaborate algorithm which carefully analyzes the power consumption profile of the disk drive and which establishes the data retrieval schedule for the given playback. It computes the amount of data blocks to read, the length of active and standby period. According to our simulation result, the ARM algorithm exhibits superior performance in continuous media retrieval from the aspect of power consumption to legacy playback scheme.

This paper presents solutions for fault detection and diagnosis of two-level, three phase voltage-source inverter (VSI) topologies with IGBT devices. The proposed solutions combine redundant standby VSI structures and contactors (or relays) to improve the fault-tolerant capabilities of power electronics in applications with safety requirements. The suitable combination of these elements gives the inverter the ability to maintain energy processing in the occurrence of several failure modes, including short-circuit in IGBT devices, thus extending its reliability and availability. A survey of previously developed fault-tolerant VSI structures and several aspects of failure modes, detection and isolation mechanisms within VSI is first discussed. Hardware solutions for the protection of power semiconductors with fault detection and diagnosis mechanisms are then proposed to provide conditions to isolate and replace damaged power devices (or branches) in real time. Experimental results from a prototype are included to validate the proposed solutions.

Nowadays, Intelligent Electronic Devices(IED) are widely used in power system. In order to improve the selectivity, sensitivity, and reliability of the power system composed by IEDs, A new fault tolerant IED system based on agent technique is presented in this paper. in the presented system, different with existing IED systems, the redundancies are drawn out from IED devices, and compose a standby backup system. And those redundancies are not specified to a particular type of IEDs. By using the agent technique, redundancies can download agents to modify their functions to fit different types of IEDs. As a conclusion, the reliability of the presented system is estimated in this paper.
