This study proposes the mitigation method for overcurrent and oscillation motor current in an active short-circuit operation. This operation is attracting attention as the safe state of electric vehicle traction inverters. However, the active short-circuit operation generates oscillation and overcurrent of motor currents during a transient state. The proposed method uses two different safe states in PMSM, such as active short circuit and freewheeling. The active short circuit is used for safe state in a steady state. To reduce the overshoot and oscillation, a freewheeling state is injected between active short-circuit operation by comparing the motor phase current with an analytically calculated steady-state motor current. Freewheeling state is only used in a transient state. The performance is demonstrated through simulations and experimental results. The peak current of the motor was reduced from 52 A to 40 A, and oscillation time was reduced.

This paper presents a new operation scheme of UPFC to minimize both generation costs and active power losses in a normal operation state of power system. In a normal operation, cost minimization is a matter of primary concern among operating objectives. This paper considers two kinds of costs, generation costs and transmission losses. The total generation cost of active powers can be minimized by optimal power flow, and active power losses in the transmission system can be also minimized by power flow control of UPFC incorporated with minimization of generation costs. In order to determine amounts of active power reference of each UPFC required for the cost minimization, an iterative optimization algorithm based on the power flow calculation using the decoupled UPFC model is proposed. For verification of the proposed method, intensive studies have been performed on a 3-unit 6-bus system equipped with a UPFC.

Zn-air battery uses oxygen from the air, and hence, air holes in it are kept open for cell operation. Therefore, loss of water by evaporation through the holes is inevitable. When the water is depleted, the battery ceases to operate. There are two water consumption routes in Zn-air batteries, namely, active path (electrolysis) and passive path (evaporation and corrosion). Water loss by the active path (electrolysis) is much faster than that by the passive path during the early stage of the cycles. The mass change by the active path slows after 10 h. In contrast, the passive path is largely constant, becoming the main mass loss path after 10 h. The active path contributes to two-thirds of the electrolyte consumption in 24 h of cell operation in 4.0 M KOH. Although water is an important component for the cell, water vapor does not influence the cell operation unless the water is nearly depleted. However, high oxygen concentration favors the discharge reaction at the cathode.

본 논문에서는 태양에너지 하베스팅을 위한 자가발전 아두이노 시스템을 설계하고 이의 동작을 설명한다. 이를 위해서 아두이노 시스템이 시시각각 변하는 태양에너지의 양을 센싱하고 이에 따라서 active mode와 sleep mode의 동작 시간의 비율을 스스로 조정해서 주어진 태양 빛의 세기에 대해서 최적으로 동작할 수 있는 동작 조건을 스스로 찾아가는 방법을 설명하고 이의 동작을 검증한다. 본 논문에서 개발한 active mode와 sleep mode의 동작 시간의 비율의 자가 조절을 통해서 태양 빛의 세기가 충분히 강할 경우에는 아두이노 시스템이 active mode로 지속적으로 구동되고, 태양광으로부터 전력을 충분히 공급받을 수 없는 경우 sleep mode를 사용하여 전력 소모를 최소화한다. 그 결과 active mode를 지속적으로 구동하는 것에 비해 sleep mode를 사용하는 경우 전력 소모를 최대 81.7% 줄여 에너지 소비를 최소화할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 빛의 세기가 중간 수준일 때에는 active mode와 sleep mode의 비율을 빛의 세기에 맞게 적정하게 배분하여 동작하게 한다. 본 논문에서 제안한, 스스로 active mode와 sleep mode의 동작 시간 비율을 조절하는 방법은 특히 높은 전력 소비 효율 특성이 필요한 웨어러블 및 바이오-헬스용 자가발전 시스템을 에너지 효율적으로 동작시킬 때에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

Characteristics of an active pixel switch readout circuit were studied by SPICE simulation. A simple readout circuit consists of an operation amplifier, a diode, and a down-counter was suggested, and its successful operation was verified by showing that the differences in the detected signal intensity are accordingly converted to modulation of the voltage pulses generated by the comparator. A scheme to use these pulses to generate the original image was also put forward.

An active clamp flyback (ACF) converter applies a clamp circuit and circulates the energy of leakage inductance to the input side, thereby achieving a zero-voltage switching (ZVS) operation and greatly reducing switching losses. The switching losses are further reduced by applying a gallium nitride field effect transistor (GaN-FET) with excellent switching characteristics, and ZVS operation can be accomplished under light load with boundary conduction mode (BCM) operation. Optimal design is performed on the basis of loss analysis by selecting magnetization inductance based on BCM operation and a clamp capacitor for loss reduction. Therefore, the size of the reactive element can be reduced through high-frequency operation, and a high-efficiency and high-power-density converter can be achieved. This study proposes an optimal design for a high-efficiency and high-power-density BCM ACF converter based on GaN-FETs and verifies it through experimental results of a 65 W-rated prototype.

본 논문에서는 능동 위상 배열 안테나(APAA: Active-Phased Array Antenna)의 능동 반사 계수(ARC: Active Reflection Coefficient) 개선 및 보호 회로 구성을 통한 안정적인 시스템 운용에 관하여 연구하였다. 수동 위상배열 안테나에서와 달리 APAA는 복사 소자와 송수신 모듈이 결합된 형태로 일반적인 수동 위상 배열 안테나의 반사 계수 특성과 차별된 새로운 ARC의 정의가 적용되어야 한다. ARC는 방사하는 소자로부터의 자기 반사계수 외에 인접한 방사 소자로부터 유기되는 결합량의 중첩을 고려한 반사 계수이다. 이는 능동 위상 배열 레이더(APAR: Active-Phased Array Radar) 시스템의 특성을 예측하고 분석하는데 중요한 파라미터가 된다. 운용 중 발생하는 높은 ARC는 시스템 성능 열화에 직접적인 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 APAR의 안정적인 운용을 위한 방안으로 ARC의 성능을 개선시키는 방안과 보호 회로를 통한 열화 방지 방안에 관하여 분석하였다. 실제 제작한 능동 위상 배열 안테나의 실험 결과를 통해 두 방안의 유효성을 검증하였다.

In this paper the neuron operation based on Brillouin-active fiber in optical fiber is described. The inherent optical feedback by the backscattered stokes wave in optical fiber leads to instabilities in the form of optical chaos. Controlling of chaos induced transient instability in Brillouin-active fiber is implemented with Kerr nonlinearity having a non-instantaneous response in network systems. The controlling chaotic instabilities can lead to multistable periodic states; create optical logic 'on' or high level '1' or 'off', or low level '0'. It is theoretically possible to apply the multi-stability regimes as an optical memory device for encoding and decoding series and complex data transmission in optical systems.

In this paper, Operation characteristics of the active clamp(ACL) zero-voltage-switching(ZVS) forward converter(FC) and active clamp hard- switching(HS) forward converter are compared with respect to loss analysis. The losses of semiconductor (including conduction losses and switching losses), transformer(containing the core loss and copper loss) and parasitic element of passive element (capacitor, inductor) are measured and compared for each type. For an experiment we have built 50W ACL ZVS-FC and ACL HS-FC, in which the switching frequency is 200kHz, and test it. The experimental results show that both types of operation have nearly same characteristics.

This paper proposes parallel operation of multi function rapid-charger with an active power filter. Rapid-charger can be installed in public institutions or mart parking lot. But conventional charger has disadvantage that it can not be used as the active power filter in charging mode with only one charger. So using 3-parallel operation, effective mode transfer between battery charging and APF function can obtain effect of harmonic compensation and improving the utilization of the charger.
