Due to merits cost and efficiency, the transformer-less type photovoltaic (PV) inverters have been popularized in the solar market. However, the leakage current flowing through a parasitic capacitor between PV array and ground can cause adverse effect in the transformer-less PV system. In this paper, a bi-directional PV inverter with high efficiency and low noise is proposed for the PV system with an energy storage device. The proposed inverter is a transformer-less type and performs the bi-directional power control between dc sources and grid with high efficiency. In addition, the proposed inverter can suppress the leakage current and obtain low noise characteristic. Finally, 3-kW prototype was implemented to confirm validity of the proposed inverter.

Numerical simulation based on the superposition of ring waves generated by the linear periodic source distributions for the plunger type wave maker was accomplished. The characteristics of directional spreading function were investigated. Mirror images are also introduced to consider reflections of side-wall together with the reflection coefficient to account for the imperfect reflection from the real side wall in the long experimental towing tank. Unexpected spurious waves, resulting from the combined effect of finite breadth of segmented wave maker, wavelength and main wave maker, wavelength and main wave propagating direction, were observed in the line source method and also in the analysis of the directivity. The influence of spurious waves to the directional spreading function was also investigated.

In this study, solution models are proposed to obtain code-compatible ground motion record sets which can be used for both uni-directional and bi-directional dynamic analyses. Besides scaled, unscaled ground motion record sets are obtained to show the utility and efficiency of the solution models. For scaled ground motion sets the proposed model is based on hybrid HS-Solver which integrates heuristic harmony search (HS) algorithm with the spreadsheet Solver add-in. For unscaled ground motion sets HS based solution model is proposed. Design spectra defined in Eurocode-8 for different soil types are selected as target spectra. The European Strong Motion Database is used to get ground motion record sets. Also, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to evaluate the effect of different HS solution parameters on the solution accuracy. Results show that the proposed solution models can be regarded as efficient ways to develop scaled and unscaled ground motion sets compatible with code-based design spectra.

As an important technology of the internetwork, wireless sensor network technique plays an important role in indoor localization. Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) problem has a large effect on indoor location accuracy. A location algorithm based on improved particle filter and directional probabilistic data association (IPF-DPDA) for WSN is proposed to solve NLOS issue in this paper. Firstly, the improved particle filter is proposed to reduce error of measuring distance. Then the hypothesis test is used to detect whether measurements are in LOS situations or NLOS situations for N different groups. When there are measurements in the validation gate, the corresponding association probabilities are applied to weight retained position estimate to gain final location estimation. We have improved the traditional data association and added directional information on the original basis. If the validation gate has no measured value, we make use of the Kalman prediction value to renew. Finally, simulation and experimental results show that compared with existing methods, the IPF-DPDA performance better.

본 논문은 높은 지향성을 갖는 방향성 결합기 설계에 관한 연구이다. 이동통신 기지국의 송신단에서는 신호의 크기나 주파수 혹은 안테나에서의 반사등을 확인하기 위해 방향성 결합기를 사용한다 즉. 통신에 간섭을 줄여 에러 발생을 막고 원활한 통신 성능 시험을 하기 위해서는 높은 지향성이 요구된다. 지금까지 높은 지향성을 얻기 위한 많은 구조가 제시되었고, 지향성과 관련한 분석과 연구가 있었다. 그러나 현재 지향성은 일반적으로 20㏈정도가 구현되고 있으며. 40㏈이상과 같은 높은 지향성을 구현하는데 어려움이 있다. [1] 따라서 본 논문에서는 40㏈와 같은 높은 지향성을 구현하기 위하여 스트립선로 구조로 시도하였으며, 50$\Omega$ 전송선과 만나는 접합부분의 밴드에서 야기되는 불연속으로 인한 리액턴스 성분을 줄이기 위하여 케패시턴스 성분을 추가하였다. 여기에서는 케패시턴스 성분을 대신하여 접지면을 추가한 새로운 구조의 방향성결합기를 제안하고 이를 설계하여 실험하였다 그리고 이 새로운 구조를 이용한 방향성 결합기와 기존의 방향성 결합기와의 지향성 측정 실험(시뮬레이션) 결과 값을 비교 검토하였다. 실험에 사용한 측정 주파수의 중심주파수는 2.05㎓(IMT-2000용)로 하였으며 $\pm$50MHz의 범위를 갖도록 실험하였다. 실험(시뮬레이션) 결과 약 43㏈ 정도의 높은 지향성을 보였으며 기존 방향성 결합기의 지향성(약 20㏈)보다 약 23㏈ 개선을 구현하였다.

기존 구조물의 노후화로 인하여 보수 및 보강에 관한 연구는 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 탄소섬유를 사용한 외부 부착공법은 경제적이고 짧은 시간에 보강 작업이 이루어질 수 있기 때문에 널리 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로 탄소섬유를 사용한 전단 보강에는 일 방향 레이아웃이 많이 사용되고 있으며, 재료의 양, 섬유의 각도 그리고 간격 등에 관한 실험 연구가 많이 진행되었다. 하지만 예비 실험 결과를 통하여 이 방향 전단보강 레이아웃은 일 방향 전단보강보다 좀 더 효율적으로 부재를 구속하는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, 유사한 재료의 양을 사용하여 일 방향과 이 방향 전단 보강 작업이 이루어진 후 실험을 통하여 두 보강작업의 효과가 검증되었다. 탄소섬유 보강 작업을 할 때는 탄소섬유의 부착파괴를 방지하기 위하여 탄소섬유 앵커가 설치되었다. 탄소섬유 앵커와 탄소섬유 레이아웃의 전단보강 효과는 실험 경간에 발생한 주인장 변형률의 분포를 통하여 검증되었다.

This paper presents the results of an investigation into bi-directional communication in spectrum sharing-based cognitive radio (Bi-CR) systems. A Bi-CR system can increase the spectral efficiency significantly by sharing the spectrum and through the bi-directional use of spatial resources for two-way communication. On the other hand, the primary user experiences more interference from the secondary users in a Bi-CR system. Satisfying the interference constraint by simply reducing the transmission power results in performance degradation for secondary users. In addition, secondary users also experience self-interference from echo channels due to full duplexing. These imperfections may weaken the potential benefits of the Bi-CR system. Therefore, a new way to overcome these defects in the Bi-CR system is needed. To address this need, this paper proposes some novel power allocation schemes for the Bi-CR system. This contribution is based on two major analytic environments, i.e., noise-limited and interference-limited environments, for providing useful analysis. This paper first proposes an optimal power allocation (OPA) scheme in a noise-limited environment and then analyzes the achievable sum rates. This OPA scheme has an effect in the noise-limited environment. In addition, a power allocation scheme for the Bi-CR system in an interference-limited environment was also investigated. The numerical results showed that the proposed schemes can achieve the full duplexing gain available from the bi-directional use of spatial resources.

A numerical procedure is described for simultaneously predicting the motion and structural responses of tension leg platforms (TLPs) in multi-directional irregular waves. The developed numerical approach is based on a combination of a three dimensional source distribution method, the finite element method for structurally treating the space frame elements and a spectral analysis technique of directional waves. The spectral description for the linear responses of a structure in the frequency domain is sufficient to completely define the responses. This is because both the wave inputs and the responses are stationary Gaussian ran dom process of which the statistical properties in the amplitude domain are well known. The hydrodynamic interactions among TLP members, such as columns and pontoons, are included in the motion and structural analysis. The effect of wave directionality has been pointed out on the first order motion, tether forces and structural responses of a TLP in multi-directional irregular waves.

The effects of a directionally emitting and reflecting dielectric surface on the wall heat flux and medium temperature distribution are studied. The system is an infinite square duct enclosing an absorbing and emitting medium. The emissivity and reflectivity of opaque and gray wall vary with direction. Combined effect of conductive and radiative heat transfer is analyzed using finite difference and the direct discrete-ordinates method. The parameters under study are conduction to radiation parameter, optical depth, refractive index ratio. The results with directional and diffuse properties deviate each other when the conduction to radiation parameter is less than around 0.01. The wall heat flux differs fur optical thickness less than around 0.1. However, the medium temperature profiles differ for optical thickness greater than around 1. Deviations from diffuse property calculations are larger for hot wall with directional property than cold wall with directional property. As n increases from 1.5, the trend changes are observed fur refractive index ratio about n=6.10

복합재료에 삽입된 점탄성 재료는 복합재구조물의 감쇠물성을 크게 증가시킨다. 일반적으로 점탄성 재료는 등방성이므로 모든 방향의 감쇠물성이 동일하다. 최근 재료의 방향에 따라 감쇠물성이 변하는 이방성 감쇠재료의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 이방성 감쇠재료는 점탄성 재료 내부에 얇은 섬유를 삽입하여 제작한다. 삽입된 섬유는 댐핑재료의 강성에 큰 영향을 주며 강성은 고전 적층판 이론을 따르게 된다. 본 논문에서는 Ni와 Adams의 이론을 이용하여 손실계수를 평가하였다. 그리고 방향성 있는 감쇠재료의 영향을 평가하기 위해 저속충격 거동해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과로부터 방향성 있는 감쇠재료는 복합적층판의 진동 및 감쇠특성에 큰 영향을 줌을 보였다
