본 논문에서는 계통연계를 위한 연료전지 발전시스템에서 부하 급증시 연료전지의 느린 응답특성 보상용 슈퍼커패시터 에너지 저장시스템에 대해 다루고자 한다. 이러한 경우 슈퍼커패시터의 충 방전을 위해서 양방향 DC/DC 컨버터가 사용되는데 기존의 컨버터는 넓은 영역에서 소프트 스위칭을 가능하게 하고 스위칭 시 순시 과전압을 감쇠시키기 위하여 클램핑 회로를 부가하는 등의 방법을 사용한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방식은 부가회로 없이 스위칭 패턴을 충전 및 방전 특성에 적합하게 함으로써 하드웨어 구성을 최소화 하였으며, 아울러 전 동작영역에서 영전압 또는 영전류 스위칭이 가능하도록 하여 효율이 극대화 되도록 하였다. 1 kW급 충 방전 시스템을 구현하여시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 제안한 방식의 타당성을 검증하였다.

For the purpose of digital x-ray imaging, many materials such as $PbI_2$, $HgI_2$, TlBr, CdTe and CdZnTe have been under development for servaral years as direct converter layer. $Hgl_2$ film detector have recently been shown as one of the most promising semiconductor materials to be used as direct converters in x-ray digital radiography. This paper, the $HgI_2$ films are deposited on conductive-coated glass by screen printing, in which $HgI_2$ powder is embedded in a binder and solvent, and the slurry is used to coat the conductive-coated glass. We investigated electrical characteristic of the fabricated $HgI_2$ films. The x-ray response to radiological x-ray generator of 70Kvp using the current integration mode will be reported for screen printing films. These results indicate that $HgI_2$ detectors have high potential as new digital x-ray imaging devices for radiography.

전원을 단락시킴이 없는 SCR이중 브리지 트리거 방식을 고안하여, 정역전이 가능한 SCR 서보증폭기로 구성하여 본 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 내릴 수 있었다. I. 출력전압의 부호를 변경시킬 때 현재의 전언부호가 반전될 때까지 도통 상태를 유지시키다가, 전원부호가 반전된 이후 적절한 SCR을 도통 시킴으로서 크리거 실패가 없게 되어, 전원을 단락시키지 않게 되고 SCR의 소손을 막을 수 있었다. II. -에서 약 30Hz 부근까지는 60Hz의 전원으로서 원하는 출력을 표현할 수 있었는데, 이는 대형 직류 전동기의 동특성을 충분히 확보할 수 있는 값이다. III. 유도성 부하의 경우라도 이미 도통된 SCR을 통하여 유동성부하L에 저장될 수 있는 에너지의 총량은 전원의 반주기 시간과 전원이 파고치값 한계내이므로, 다음 반주기동안 부호만 반전된 전원 전압과 동일한 반주기의 시간이 존재하므로, 에너지 보존의 법칙에 의해 반드시 다음 반주기 안에 현재도통된 SCR은 소호되게 되므로 트리거실패는 존재하지 않는다.

Most of the conventional electrocardiowaphs foil to detect signals other than P-QRS-T due to the limited SNR and bandwidth. High-resolution electrocardiography(HRECG) provides better SNR and wider bandwidth for the detection of micro-potentials with higher frequency components such as vontricular late potentials(LP). We have developed a HRECG using uncorrected XYZ lead for the detection of LPs. The overall gain of the amplifier is 4000 and the bandwidth is 0.5-300Hz without using 60Hz notch filter. Three 16-bit A/D converters sample X, Y, and Z signals simultaneously with a sampling frequency of 2000Hz. Sampled data are transmitted to a PC via a DMA-controlled, optically-coupled serial communication channel. In order to further reduce the noise, we implemented a signal averaging algorithm that averaged many instances of aligned beats. The beat alignment was carried out through the use of a template matching technique that finds a location maximizing cross-correlation with a given beat tem- plate. Beat alignment error was reduced to $\pm$0.25ms. FIR high-pass filter with cut-off frequency of 40Hz was applied to remove the low frequency components of the averaged X, Y, and Z signals. QRS onset and end point were determined from the vector magnitude of the sigrlaIL and some parameters needed to detect the existence of LP were estimated. The entire system was designed for the easy application of the future research topics including the optimal lead system, filter design, new parameter extraction, etc. In the developed HRECG, without signal averaging, the noise level was less than 5$\mu$V$_rms RTI$. With signal averaging of at least 100 beats, the noise level was reduced to 0.5$\mu$V$_rms RTI$, which is low enough to detect LPs. The developed HRECG will provide a new advanced functionality to interpretive ECG analyzers.

This paper illustrates the analysis and design of a multi-resonant converter applied to an electric vehicle (EV) charger. Thanks to the notch resonant characteristic, the multi-resonant converter achieve soft switching and operate with a narrowed switching frequency range even with a wide output voltage range. These advantages make it suitable for battery charging applications. With two more resonant elements, the design of the chosen converter is more complex than the conventional LLC resonant converter. However, there is not a distinct design outline for the multi-resonant converters in existing articles. According to the analysis in this paper, the normalized notch frequency $f_{r2n}$ and the second series resonant frequency $f_{r3n}$ are more sensitive to the notch capacitor ratio q than the notch inductor ratio k. Then resonant capacitors should be well-designed before the other resonant elements. The peak gain of the converter depends mainly on the magnetizing inductor ratio $L_n$ and the normalized load Q. And it requires a smaller $L_n$ and Q to provide a sufficient voltage gain $M_{max}$ at ($V_{o\_max}$, $P_{o\_max}$). However, the primary current increases with $(L_nQ)^{-1}$, and results in a low efficiency. Then a detailed design procedure for the multi-resonant converter has been provided. A 3.3kW prototype with an output voltage range of 50V to 500V dc and a peak efficiency of 97.3 % is built to verify the design and effectiveness of the converter.

The Differential Power Processing (DPP) converter is a promising multi-module photovoltaic inverter architecture recently proposed for photovoltaic systems. In this paper, a DPP converter architecture, in which each PV-panel has its own DPP converter in shunt, performs distributed maximum power point tracking (DMPPT) control. It maintains a high energy conversion efficiency, even under partial shading conditions. The system architecture only deals with the power differences among the PV panels, which reduces the power capacity of the converters. Therefore, the DPP systems can easily overcome the conventional disadvantages of PCS such as centralized, string, and module integrated converter (MIC) topologies. Among the various types of the DPP systems, the feed-forward method has been selected for both its voltage balancing and power transfer to a modified H-bridge inverter that needs charge balancing of the input capacitors. The modified H-bridge multi-level inverter had some advantages such as a low part count and cost competitiveness when compared to conventional multi-level inverters. Therefore, it is frequently used in photovoltaic (PV) power conditioning system (PCS). However, its simplified switching network draws input current asymmetrically. Therefore, input capacitors in series suffer from a problem due to a charge imbalance. This paper validates the operating principle and feasibility of the proposed topology through the simulation and experimental results. They show that the input-capacitor voltages maintain the voltage balance with the PV MPPT control operating with a 140-W hardware prototype.

An indirect matrix converter (IMC) is a modern power generation system that enables a direct ac/ac conversion without the need for any bulky and limited lifetime electrolytic capacitor. This system also allows four-quadrant operation, generation of sinusoidal output voltage waveforms with variable frequency and amplitude, and control of input power factor. This study proposes a pulse-width modulation-based sliding-mode controller to achieve unity input-power factor operation of the IMC independently of the active power exchanged with the grid, as well as a fast dynamic response. The designed equivalent control law determines, at each sampling period, the appropriate q-axis component of the modulated input current to be injected into the grid through the LC input filter. An integral term of the error is included in the expression of the sliding surface to increase the accuracy of the control method. A double space vector modulation method is used to synthesize the direction of the space vector of the input currents as required by the sliding-mode controller and the space vectors of the target output voltages. Simulation and experimental results are provided to show the effectiveness and evaluate the performance of the proposed control method.

Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) have been receiving extensive research interest in high/medium-voltage applications due to its modularity, scalability, reliability, high-voltage capability, and excellent harmonic performance. Submodule capacitors are usually rather bulky because they have to withstand fundamental frequency voltage fluctuations. To reduce the capacitance of these capacitors, this study proposes a modified MMC with an active power decoupling circuit within each submodule. The modified submodule contains an auxiliary half bridge, with its capacitor split in two. Also, the midpoints of the half bridge and the split capacitors are connected by an inductor. With this modified submodule, the fundamental frequency voltage fluctuation can be suppressed to a great extent. The second-order voltage fluctuation, which is the second most significant component in submodule voltage fluctuations, is removed by the proper control of the second-order circulating current. Consequently, the submodule capacitance is significantly reduced. The viability and effectiveness of the proposed new MMC are confirmed by the simulation and experimental results. The proposed MMC is best suited for medium-voltage applications where power density is given a high priority.

Of late, demand for test sites for marine equipment such as ASV, AUV, ROV, and various underwater sensors is increasing. The authors have focused on an oscillating water column (OWC), which is being constructed near Chagwido Island Jeju, as one of the test-sites. The main objective of the OWC is to produce wave energy and develop technologies. It has been built in the sea approximately 1 km off the coast. It has berth accommodation and some rooms that can be used as laboratories. To investigate the feasibility of its usage as a test site for marine equipment, we acquired bathymetric data around the OWC by using a multi-beam echo sounder and a single-beam scanning sonar. The accessibility of the OWC from nearby ports and the use of support vessels or ships were also investigated. 3D point cloud data from the multi-beam echo sounder and 2D acoustic images from the scanning sonar are expected to be used as references for identifying changes over time. In addition, through these experiments, we derived a procedure to use this facility as a test site by using the IDEF0 functional modelling method. Based on this preliminary investigation and previously reported examples, we determined the general conditions and preferences for evaluating the performance of various marine equipment heuristically. Finally, we developed five applications that were derived from this investigation.
