To enhance the performance of SEWGS system by holding the WGS catalyst in a SEWGS reactor using bed inserts, effects of insert geometry and shape of WGS catalysts on CO conversion were measured and investigated. Small scale fluidized bed reactor was used as experimental apparatus and WGS catalyst (particle and tablet) and sand were used as bed materials. The parallel wall type and cross type bed inserts were used to hold the WGS catalysts. The CO conversion with steam/CO ratio was determined based on the exit gas analysis. The measured CO conversion using the bed inserts showed high value comparable to physical mixing cases. Moreover, gas flow direction was confirmed by bed pressure drop measurement for each case. Most of input gas flowed through the catalyst side when we charged tablet type catalyst into the bed insert and this can cause low $CO_2$ capture efficiency because the possibility of contact between input gas and $CO_2$ absorbent is low in this case. New bed insert geometry was proposed based on the results from this study to enhance contact between input gas and WGS catalyst and $CO_2$ absorbent.

Dimethyl ether (DME) is an attractive fuel as a hydrogen carrier for mobile PEMFC applications. However, its reforming technologies are rarely studied especially by using autothermal reforming (ATR) method. This work explored the impact of operating conditions to the performance of DME ATR. Temperature, Steam to carbon ratio(SCR), Oxygen to carbon ratio(OCR) and Gas hourly space velocity(GHSV) were considered as the operating conditions. As results, conversion efficiency was increased as the temperature increased, but saturated around $700^{\circ}C$. There was no significant effect of SCR on conversion efficiency, but high SCR led reactions in endothermic manner. High OCR substantially suppressed conversion efficiency, but it helped to sustain the temperature by stimulating exothermic reactions. Conversion efficiency was decreased as GHSV increased. The optimized operating conditions was suggested: $700^{\circ}C$, SCR of 1.5, OCR of 0.45 and GHSV below 15000/h and conversion efficiency was ~85% at the conditions.

본 논문에서는 스프레딩된 SiC 섬유를 적용해 SiC_f/SiC를 제조하였을 경우, 섬유의 분산도가 복합소재의 내부구조 및 기계적 강도에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 연구하였다. Spread SiC 섬유를 적용한 시편의 섬유 체적비는 non-spread 시편 대비 9%p 감소하였으며, 수지 슬러리가 섬유 사이로 더 원활히 함침되어 기지내 기공도 거의 발견되지 않았다. 각 시편의 섬유 분산도를 비교하기 위해, 복합소재 내 섬유간 이격거리를 수치화하고 평가하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그 결과 spread 시편의 섬유간 중심거리는 non-spread 시편 대비 2.23 ㎛ 증가하였으며, 섬유 표면 사이 거리는 42.6%로 대폭 증가하였다. 3점 굽힘시험을 통해 spread 시편의 굽힘강도가 non-spread 시편 대비 49.3% 가량 높으며, 시험 데이터의 편차도 더 균일함을 확인하였다. 따라서 복합소재 기지내 SiC 섬유의 분산도 향상이 SiC_f/SiC의 균일한 기지상 치밀화와 기계적 강도 증가에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다는 점을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, a new high step up DC/DC converter with a modified super-lift technique is presented. The coupled inductor technique is combined with the super-lift technique to provide a tenfold or more voltage gain with a proper duty cycle and a low turn ratio. Due to a high conversion ratio, the voltage stress on the semiconductor devices is reduced. As a result, low voltage ultra-fast recovery diodes and low on resistance MOSFET can be used, which improves the reverse recovery problems and conduction losses. This converter employs a passive clamp circuit to recycle the energy stored in the leakage inductance. The proposed convertor features a high conversion ratio with a low turn ratio, low voltage stress, low reverse recovery losses, omission of the inrush currents of the switch capacitor loops, high efficiency, small volume and reduced cost. This converter is suitable for renewable energy applications. The operational principle and a steady-state analysis of the proposed converter are presented in details. A 200W, 30V input, 380V output laboratory prototype circuit is implemented to confirm the theoretical analysis.

The growth in IT industry has brought a corresponding rise in the number of connected digital devices in the distribution network. These digital loads lead to AC to DC conversion losses in order to supply power to them. The more the renewable energies and plug-in electrical vehicles penetrated our lives, the more the electrical losses are caused by AC to DC conversion process. Hence, this paper suggests the methodology for evaluating the amount of power supplied according to the ratio of DC power supply and performs an economic analysis of DC distribution system considering grid parity. In here, the cost of carbon emission reduced by renewable energy is also concerned.

전 세계적으로 재생에너지의 비율이 증가함에 따라, 재생에너지로부터 생산되는 불연속적이고 간헐적인 에너지 저장 문제가 주목을 받고 있다. 다양한 에너지 저장 시스템(ESS) 중에서 $CO_2$ 메탄화 기술은 타 시스템에 비해 높은 저장 용량과 저장 기간으로 각광 받고 있다. $CO_2$ 메탄화 반응은 발열반응이며, 촉매가 낮은 온도 범위($250-500^{\circ}C$)에서 높은 활성 및 메탄 선택도를 갖는다. 기존의 고정층 방식에 비하여 유동층 반응기는 높은 열전달 특성으로 인해 발열반응에 적합하며, 열전달과 물질 전달이 유리한 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 촉매 특성 평가를 위해 기포유동층 반응기(Diameter: 0.025 m, Height: 0.35 m)와 $Ni/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ (Ni 70% and ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 30%) 촉매를 사용하였다. 반응 조건은 $H_2/CO_2$ mole ratio: 4.0-6.0, 조업온도 $300-420^{\circ}C$, 조업 압력 1-9 bar 및 $U_o/U_{mf}$ 1-5이었다. 생성 가스의 조성은 NDIR를 통해 분석하였으며, $CO_2$ 전환율은 $H_2/CO_2$ ratio, 압력, 온도가 증가함에 따라 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 이에 반해 가스유속이 빨라질수록 $CO_2$ 전환율은 떨어졌다. 최적의 운전 조건은 $H_2/CO_2$ ratio: 5, 조업온도 $400^{\circ}C$, 조업 압력 9 bar 및 $1.4-3U_{mf}$이었으며 이 때 $CO_2$ 전환율은 99.6%로 나타났다. 본 실험 촉매의 경우 장기 운전 시 촉매 성능 저하가 없이 $CO_2$ 전환율이 일정하게 유지하는 것을 확인하였다.

Background: After the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS) accident, a model was developed to estimate the external exposure doses for residents who were expected to return to their homes after evacuation orders were lifted. However, the model's accuracy and uncertainties in parameters used to estimate external doses have not been evaluated. Materials and Methods: The model estimates effective doses based on the integrated ambient dose equivalent (H^*(10)) and life patterns, considering a dose reduction factor to estimate the indoor H^*(10) and a conversion factor from H^*(10) to the effective dose. Because personal dose equivalent (H_p(10)) has been reported to agree well with the effective dose after the FDNPS accident, this study validates the model's accuracy by comparing the estimated effective doses with H_p(10). The H_p(10) and life pattern data were collected for 36 adult participants who lived or worked near the FDNPS in 2019. Results and Discussion: The estimated effective doses correlated significantly with H_p(10); however, the estimated effective doses were lower than H_p(10) for indoor sites. A comparison with the measured indoor H^*(10) showed that the estimated indoor H^*(10) was not underestimated. However, the H_p(10) to H^*(10) ratio indoors, which corresponds to the practical conversion factor from H^*(10) to the effective dose, was significantly larger than the same ratio outdoors, meaning that the conversion factor of 0.6 is not appropriate for indoors due to the changes in irradiation geometry and gamma spectra. This could have led to a lower effective dose than H_p(10). Conclusion: The estimated effective doses correlated significantly with H_p(10), demonstrating the model's applicability for effective dose estimation. However, the lower value of the effective dose indoors could be because the conversion factor did not reflect the actual environment.

In the case of speech synthesis, the waveform coding method with high quality is mainly used to the synthesis by analysis. Because the parameters of this coding method are not classified as both excitation and vocal tract parameters, it is difficult to apply the waveform coding method to the synthesis by rule. Thus, in order to apply the waveform coding method to the synthesis by rule, a pitch alteration is required for the prosody control. In the speech synthesis method by the conventional PSOLA technique, applying symmetric window function to asymmetric speech waveform, it occurs the unbalance phenomenon of energy according to the overlapped degree of pitch interval adjustment. In this paper to overcome the unbalance phenomenon of energy, we proposed a new method that can convert asymmetric waveform to symmetric one by time-frequency conversion. As a result, we can obtain an average spectrum distortion ratio with 6.38% according to the pitch alteration ratio.
