We analyzed through numerical simulations the properties of a square beam homogenizer near the target for laser shock peening. The efficiency was calculated near the target by considering the plasma threshold of the metals. We defined the depth of focus of the square beam homogenizer with a given efficiency near the target. Then, we found the relationship between the depth of focus for the laser shock peening and four main parameters of the square beam homogenizer: the plasma threshold of the metal, the number of lenslets in the array-lens, the focal length of the condenser lens and the input beam size.

The energy harvesting system using an inverted flag is analyzed by using an immersed boundary method to consider the fluid and solid interaction. The inverted flag flutters at a lower critical velocity than a conventional flag. A fluttering motion is classified into straight, symmetric, asymmetric, biased, and over flapping modes. The optimal energy harvesting efficiency is observed at the biased flapping mode. Using the three different machine learning algorithms, i.e., artificial neural network, random forest, support vector regression, the energy harvesting efficiency is predicted by taking bending rigidity, inclination angle, and flapping frequency as input variables. The R² value of the artificial neural network and random forest algorithms is observed to be more than 0.9.

본 연구는 1995년부터 2010년까지 국가 에너지통계의 에너지소비, 생산, 수출 입 등 실적자료를 바탕으로 우리나라의 에너지경제효율을 분석하였다. 에너지 수출 입과 에너지 생산 자료를 통해 에너지원단위, 에너지순수입의존도, 에너지자립도 I, II 를 산출하고 국가경제규모와 비교분석을 통해 우리날 에너지경제 수준을 살펴보고 시사점을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 에너지원단위 지표를 통한 에너지효율수준 분석이 주로 이루어졌다면, 본 연구는 에너지순수입의존도와 에너지자립도를 통해 국가 에너지 수출 입구조와 에너지생산수준을 추가적으로 살펴볼 수 있는 장점이 있다고 하겠다. 연구 결론으로 우리나라는 에너지경제효율 수준이 상당히 낮은 수준으로 국가적 정책 차원의 에너지효율개선의 필요성을 제기한다.

Conventional boost-full-bridge and boost-hybrid-bridge two-stage inverters are widely applied in order to adapt to the wide dc input voltage range of photovoltaic arrays. However, the efficiency of the conventional topology is not fully optimized because additional switching losses are generated in the voltage conversion so that the input voltage rises and then falls. Moreover, the electrolytic capacitors in a dc-link lead to a larger volume combined with increases in both weight and cost. This paper proposes a higher efficiency inverter with time-sharing synchronous modulation. The energy transmission paths, wheeling branches and switching losses for the high-frequency switches are optimized so that the overall efficiency is greatly improved. In this paper, a contrastive analysis of the component losses for the conventional and proposed inverter topologies is carried out in MATLAB. Finally, the high-efficiency under different switching frequencies and different input voltages is verified by a 3 kW prototype.

This paper presents a transformer-based reconfigurable synchronous boost converter. The lowest maximum power point tracking (MPPT)-input voltage and peak efficiency of the proposed boost converter, 20 mV and 88%, respectively, were achieved using a reconfigurable synchronous structure, static power loss minimization design, and efficiency boost mode change (EBMC) method. The proposed reconfigurable synchronous structure for high efficiency enables both a transformer-based self-startup mode (TSM) and an inductor-based MPPT mode (IMM) with a power PMOS switch instead of a diode. In addition, a static power loss minimization design, which was developed to reduce the leakage current of the native switch and quiescent current of the control blocks, enables a low input operation voltage. Furthermore, the proposed EBMC method is able to change the TSM into IMM with no additional time or energy loss. A prototype chip was implemented using a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process, and operates within an input voltage range of 9 mV to 1 V, and an output voltage range of 1 V to 3.3 V, and provides a maximum output power of 37 mW.

충청북도 일대에서 화학비료와 농약을 사용하는 일반적인 경작논(이하 일반논), 화학비료, 퇴비를 사용하지만 농약을 사용하지 않는 논(이하 무농약논), 농약과 화학비료를 사용하지 않고 논에 오리를 사육하는 논(이하 오리논), 농약과 화학비료를 사용하지 않고 논에 열대산 우렁이를 사육하는 논(이하 우렁이논)에 대해 에너지 분석을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 에너지 효율은 오리논(1.8)이 가장 높고 우렁이논(1.5), 일반논(1.0), 무농약논(0.5)의 순서이다. 생산량에 비해 상대적으로 재생 불가능한 에너지는 일반논과 무농약논이 오리논과 우렁이논보다 2-3배 많이 사용하였고 재생가능한 에너지는 무농약논이 가장 많이 사용하였다. 무농약논은 비료, 퇴비를 과도하게 사용하여 에너지 효율이 낮아졌다. 무농약 재배를 위한 과도한 영양분의 투입은 에너지 측면에서 비효율적일 수 있음을 보여주었다. 논에 동물을 사용하는 방식은 재생불가능한 에너지 투입을 줄일 수 있어서 다른 방식에 비해 친환경적이었다. 하지만 보다 환경적이고 지속가능하기 위해서는 재생 불가능한 에너지를 더 줄일 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

The NHIS provides free or highly subsidized healthcare to all people by providing financial fortification. However, the financial sustainability of the scheme is threatened by numerous factors. Therefore, this work sought to provide a solution to process claims intelligently. The provided Petri net model demonstrated successful data flow among the various participant. For efficiency, scalability, and performance two main subsystems were modelled and integrated - data input and claims processing subsystems. We provided smart claims processing algorithm that has a simple and efficient error detection method. The complexity of the main algorithm is good but that of the error detection is excellent when compared to literature. Performance indicates that the model output is reachable from input and the token delivery rate is promising.

본 논문에서는 진동에너지 하베스팅을 위한 세 가지 종류의 전파 정류기를 비교 분석 하였다. 첫번째 정류기는 두 개의 능동 다이오드(active diode)와 두 개의 MOSFET로 구성된 전파 정류기로 능동 다이오드의 비교기는 정류기의 출력으로부터 전력을 공급받는다. 두 번째는 네 개의 MOSFET로 구성된 정류기와 하나의 능동 다이오드로 구성된 2단 정류기이며, 마찬가지로 비교기는 정류기의 출력으로부터 전력을 공급받는다. 세 번째는 두 번째 정류기와 동일한 구조이나 비교기의 전력을 정류기의 입력으로부터 공급받는 input-powered 정류기이다. 이 정류기들을 0.35um CMOS 공정으로 설계하고 모의실험을 통해 성능을 비교, 분석하였다. 부하가 큰 경우에는 첫 번째 정류기를 이용하는 것이, 부하가 작은 경우에는 두 번째 정류기를 이용하는 것이 효율적인 측면에서 유리하다. 또한 효율보다는 진동에너지의 유무에 따른 전력 소모가 중요하다면 세 번째 정류기가 유리하다.

The energy-efficient design of sensing-based spectrum sharing of a multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) cognitive radio (CR) system with imperfect multiple antenna spectrum sensing is investigated in this study. Optimal resource allocation strategies, including sensing time and power allocation schemes, are studied to maximize the energy efficiency (EE) of the secondary base station under the transmit power and interference power constraints. EE problem is formulated as a nonlinear stochastic fractional programming of a nonconvex optimal problem. The EE problem is transformed into its equivalent nonlinear parametric programming and solved by one-dimension search algorithm. To reduce searching complexity, the search range was founded by demonstration. Furthermore, simulation results confirms that an optimal sensing time exists to maximize EE, and shows that EE is affected by the spectrum detection factors and corresponding constraints.

Squirrel cage induction motor is the main driving system of industrial field and familiar with its use in a large variety of applications. The structure and operating characteristics of induction generator is almost identical to induction motor, but the induction generator part is used restrictively from hydropower power and wind power development etc. Recently induction generator is commonly used for micro & small hydro power applications due to its simplicity, reliability, low cost and robustness. Input and output of induction motor has turned against at the induction generator operation. Rotation speed of induction generator is small faster than synchronous speed of induction motor. As output of induction machines increases with the increasement of speed, so loss is same. Actually, generator efficiency is lower than motor at this condition. If induction generator is connected with mechanical load such as increaser, total efficiency is decreased. Consequently the quality in compliance with an induction motor parameter applying like that in the generator is a possibility of having the error of some. In this paper, we analyzed that input, output, torque and efficiency of induction machine is different from each other above and below synchronous speed.
