This paper proposes a new configuration of bidirectional intelligent semiconductor transformer with rating of 1.9kV/127V, 2kVA. The proposed transformer consists of high-voltage high-frequency AC-DC rectifier, and low-voltage DC-DC and DC-AC converters. The operational feasibility of proposed transformer was verified by computer simulation with PSCAD/EMTDC software. Based on the simulation results, a hardware prototype with rating of 1.9kV/127V, 2kVA was built and tested in the lab to confirm the feasibility of hardware implementation. Using three units of this transformer, a 3-phase transformer with rating of 3.3kV/220V, 6kVA can be built.

This paper reviews the concept of tensegrity structures and proposes a new type of dismountable steel tensegrity grids for possible deployment as light-weight roof structures. It covers the fabrication of the prototype structures followed by their instrumentation, destructive testing and numerical analysis. First, a single module, measuring $1m{\times}1m$ in size, is fabricated based on half-cuboctahedron configuration using galvanised iron (GI) pipes as struts and high tensile stranded cables as tensile elements. Detailed instrumentation of the structure is carried out right at the fabrication stage. The structure is thereafter subjected to destructive test during which the strain and the displacement responses are carefully monitored. The structure is modelled and analyzed using finite element method (FEM) and the model generated is updated with the experimental results. The investigations are then extended to a $2{\times}2$ grid, measuring $2m{\times}2m$ in size, fabricated uniquely by the cohesive integration of four single tensegrity modules. After updating and validating on the $2{\times}2$ grid, the finite element model is extended to a $8{\times}8$ grid (consisting of 64 units and measuring $8m{\times}8m$) whose behaviour is studied in detail for various load combinations expected to act on the structure. The results demonstrate that the proposed tensegrity grid structures are not only dismountable but also exhibit satisfactory behaviour from strength and serviceability point of view.

In this paper, we present a Web-enabled product data sharing system for the support of RPD (Rapid Product Development) process by incorporating STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data) with Web technology such as VRML (Virtual Reality Markup Language), SGML (Structured Generalized Markup Language) and Java. Extreme competition makes product life cycle short by incessantly deprecating current products with a brand-new one, and thus urges enterprises to devise a new product faster than ever. In this environment, an RPD process with effective product data sharing system is essential to outstrip competitors by speeding up the development process. However, the diversity of product data schema and heterogeneous systems make it difficult to exchange the product data. We chose STEP as a neutral product data schema and Web as an independent exchange environment to overcome these problems. While implementing our system, we focused on the support of STEP AP 203 UoF (Units of Functionality) views to efficiently employ STEP data models that are maximally normalized, and therefore very cumbersome to handle. Our functionality-oriented UoF view approach can increase users'appreciation since it facilitates the modular usage of STEP data models. This can also enhance the accuracy of product data. We demonstrate that our view approach is applicable to the configuration control of mechanical assemblies.

신규 발전소 부지 및 송전선 경과지 확보의 어려움 때문에 신규 발전기들은 기존의 발전단지에 건설되고 송전망은 더 복잡한 망의 형태로 구성되고 있다. 이러한 구조적인 특징은 전력계통의 운용의 신뢰성에 제약을 발생시킨다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 전력계통의 해석의 고도화와 적절한 대책이 요구된다. 또한 현재 진행중인 전력산업의 구조 개편 이후, 신뢰성과 경제성을 동시에 추구하여야하는 경쟁적 전력시장에서의 계통해석 결과에 따른 비용 발생시에 책임소재의 투명성과 해석결과에 대한 검증이 필요하게 되어 계통해석 기술의 고도_화와 이를 구현하기 위한 해석 프로그램의 다변화가 절실하게 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 대규모 전력계통 해석 프로그램인 EUROSTAG의 발전기 제어계 계통 의 모델을 개발하였고, 성능을 입증하기 위해서 현재 전력회사에서 사용되는 PSS/E와 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교하였다.

Small distributed generation units are usually connected to the main electric grid through single-phase voltage source inverters. Grid operating conditions such as voltage and frequency are not constant and can fluctuate within the range values established by international standards. Furthermore, the requirements in terms of power factor correction, total harmonic distortion, and reliability are getting tighter day by day. As a result, the implementation of reliable and efficient control algorithms, which are able to adjust their control parameters in response to changeable grid operating conditions, is essential. This paper investigates the configuration topology and control algorithm of a single-phase inverter with the purpose of achieving high performance in terms of efficiency as well as total harmonic distortion of the output current. Accordingly, a Second Order Generalized Integrator with a suitable Phase Locked Loop (SOGI-PLL) is the basis of the proposed current and voltage regulation. Some practical issues related to the control algorithm are addressed, and a solution for the control architecture is proposed, based on resonant controllers that are continuously tuned on the basis of the actual grid frequency. Further, intentional islanding operation is investigated and a possible procedure for switching from grid-tied to islanding operation and vice-versa is proposed.

본 논문에서는 HEVC 부호화의 연산 복잡도를 줄이기 위한 고속 움직임 탐색 방법을 제안한다. 고속움직임 탐색을 위한 종래의 방법은 현재 영상과 참조 영상 간의 거리에 따라 탐색 영역의 크기를 조절하는 반면, 제안 방법은 예측 단위 간의 움직임 벡터 차의 유사성을 이용하여 예측 단위에 따라 움직임 벡터 탐색 영역을 적응적으로 조절한다. 실험을 통해 제안 방법은 random access 실험 조건에서 움직임 예측의 연산 시간을 약 10.7% 감소시키는 반면, 약 0.1%의 낮은 부호화 성능 하락을 가지는 것을 확인하였다.

서브-미크론 주기의 미세한 회절 격자가 새겨진 도광판을 이용하여 빛을 수직으로 출사시켜 기존 방식에서 사용하는 집광용 프리즘 필름을 대체할 수 있는 가능성에 대하여 연구하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 최적 회절 격자 주기를 결정하였고, 입사되는 빛의 고도각과 방위각에 따라 회절 격자의 투과 모드 효율을 계산하였다. 또한, 회절에 의해 더 많은 빛을 추출할 수 있도록 도광판의 모양과 구성을 제안하여 고도각과 방향각을 최적화하는 두 가지 방식의 효과를 시뮬레이션으로 비교하였다. 광선 추적프로그램을 활용하여 회절 격자 각인 도광판의 휘도 각 분포를 계산하여 실제로 제작된 시제품의 위치별 휘도 각 분포와 비교하였다.

Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) started a fuel cell project to develop alternative sources of electric power because of the rapid increase in power demand and global environmental problems. For the development of a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), KEPCO started the project in 1993 to develop a 2 kW MCFC system and finished it at the end of 1996. In this project, $ASPEN^+$ was utilized to design the 2 kW MCFC generation system. Based on this simulation, a power generation system was designed and installed for operation and a long term test of internally manifolded 2 kW class MCFC stack. This stack has 20 cells with an effective electrode area of $1000\;cm^2$. It was run at 0.84 V and $150\;mA/cm^2$ and was operated for more than 3,250 hours continuously. This paper describes the system configuration and its control and measurement units. An analysis of the stack performance, the effect of gas utilization ratio, and the stack performance requirements are also discussed.

Electric scroll-compressor drives are commonly used for e.g. home appliance cooling units. The recent development of hybrid cars with internal combustion engine in combination with electrical propulsion requires new solutions to be able to cool the passenger compartment of cars at stand-still. Both application areas demand efficient motor drives to reach good economy and efficient use of limited battery power as well as competitive volume/weight for a given output. The BLDC motor is a controllable and efficient solution. A major part of the motor is the soft-magnetic core. The powder based $Somaloy^{(R)}$ material shows high resistivity and induction as the result of engineered iron particles with in-organic coating. The unique features of compacted $Somaloy^{(R)}$ components can be utilized to enhance the shape and total volume of the BLDC motor with at least maintained efficiency compared to the use of traditional laminated steel sheet cores. A careful design of the $Somaloy^{(R)}$ components can also simplify assembly and positively influence the coil configuration. This study shows a comparison between a typical laminated BLDC motor and a redesigned, $Somaloy^{(R)}$ based version adapted for a scroll-compressor application.

In recent years, air-conditioning units designed with higher efficiency and more compactness are required due to emphasis on energy efficiency in home electrical appliances. This trend in the air-conditioning industries has accelerated the development of improved heat exchanger with a better performance in heat transfer aspects. In this study, experiments were performed to investigate the shape and configuration of fins affecting on the performance of the conventional fin-and-tube type heat exchanger equipped in a commercial air conditioners. The geometry similtude method was employed to measure the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop. Experimental results show that this method is very useful to analyze the heat transfer characteristics of the fin-and-tube type heat exchanger. It is also found that the slit fin has better performance than the conventional fin type in the air conditioners. The present results indicate that heat transfer from the fin si influenced by the parameters such as the forming area of the slit fin, the type of interrupted surfaces like a louver or slit, slit patterns and slit raised direction, and it also affects the overall heat exchanger performance.
