The development of heavy-duty process pumps, usually based on various design criteria, depends on the pump's application. The most important criteria are Q-H, efficiency and NPSH characteristics. Cavitation due to inlet recirculation is not often one of the design criteria, although many problems in pump operation appear because of inlet recirculation, when the operation range is from 0.5-0.8 $Q_{opt}$. The present paper shows that steady state CFD analysis of inlet recirculation can give quite good results for the design of new hydraulic shapes, which have been developed to expand operating range and to minimize the harmful influence of recirculation at part load. In this paper, the structures of inlet recirculation are presented, as well as detailed shapes of vortices between the blades for various operating regimes, axial velocity distribution at the impeller inlet, the experimental results of NPSH and efficiency characteristics of an existing and newly designed pump.

Piles are often subjected to both axial and lateral loads. The nonlinear subgrade reaction method is widely used for the design of laterally loaded piles and in this approach the soil reaction is replaced with a series of independent nonlinear Winkler springs. In this study, Laterally loaded high strength H-piles were analyzed using a finite difference solution, and three p-y curve models with different k values(the coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction, ［FL$\^$-3/］) were evaluated using data obtained from various field tests, and another analysis method using Q$\sub$g/ - y$\sub$g/ curve was developed. The results of this analysis were compared with the measured values to assess their applicability.

In this paper, analytical techniques for performance characteristics analysis of wind power generator with outer permanent magnet rotor are proposed. Furthermore, the proposed analytical techniques are validated by performance experiments of the manufactured generator. In this part, characteristic equations of losses such as copper loss, core loss are derived. Using the derived loss characteristic equations, electrical parameters obtained in [15] and d-q axes method, constant load and constant speed characteristics of wind power generator are analyzed. And then, to analyze performance of wind power system according to wind speed, d-q analysis model considering wind turbine characteristics is proposed. Finally, the obtained performance characteristics results are validated in comparison with those by experiments.

A 900MHz CMOS RF power amplifier with digitally controllable output power has been proposed and designed with 0.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ standard CMOS technology. The designed power amplifier was composed of digitally controllable switch mode pre-amplifiers with an integrated 4nH spiral inductor load and class-C output stage. Especially, to compensate the 1ow Q of integrated spiral inductor, cascode amplifier with a Q-enhancement circuit is used. It has been shown that the proposed power control technique allows the output power to change from almost 3dBm to 13.5dBm. And it has a maximum PAE(Power Added Efficiency) of almost 55％ at 900MHz operating frequency and 3V power supply voltage.

디스크 형의 회전자를 가지고 있는 영구자석 표면 부착형 동기 전동기에서 회전자가 중력 방향에 직각으로 서있고, 디스크 상에 부하가 존재하는 경우 디스크의 불균일한 질량 분포에 의해 편심이 발생한다. 편심 부하는 합성 무게 중심이 반중력 방향으로 향하면 전동기의 속도는 감소하고, 중력 방향이면 속도가 증가하는 정현적인 부하 토크로 작용하여 정현적 인 속도 오차를 발생시킨다. 이 속도 오차를 감소시키기 위해 q-축 전류와 측정된 속도를 입력으로 가지는 부하 토크 관측기를 설계하여 생성된 보상전류를 피드 포워드 방식으로 q-축 지령 전류에 보상하는 방식을 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 부하 토크 관측기를 사용하는 방식에서 발생하는 속도오차에 관하여 분석하였다.

This paper describes the implementation of 3-phase 3-wire active power filter system with a instantaneous PSD for distorted and unbalanced power conditions. The positive sequence voltage of the distorted and the unbalanced power system Is calculated by the instantaneous PSD, and phase transformation matrix of the instantaneous power theory is achieved with detected positive sequence voltage. Finally, the proposed method is experimented and tested under unbalanced nonlinear load as well as unbalanced/distorted condition in power system.

A STATic synchronous COMpensator (STATCOM) is a shunt connected voltage source converter (VSC) based FACTS controller using Gate Turn Off (GTO) power semiconductor devices employed for reactive power control. The operation principal is similar to that of a synchronous condenser. A typical application of a STATCOM is voltage regulation at the midpoint of a long transmission line for the enhancement of power transfer capability and/or reactive power control at the load centre. This paper presents the modeling of STATCOM with twenty four pulse three level VSC and Type-1 controller to regulate the reactive current or the bus voltage. The performance is evaluated by transient simulation. It is observed that, the STATCOM shows excellent transient response to step change in the reactive current reference. While the eigenvalue analysis is based on D-Q model, the transient simulation is based on both D-Q and 3 phase models of STATCOM (which considers switching action of VSC).

In order to investigate tribological effects of nano copper particles impregnated(CuN) on surface polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) on sealing wear and an experimental study was carried out to determine the wear behavior of copper nano-particles impregnation two kind thickness in super critical $CO_2$ liquid. Experimental results showed that the friction coefficients of CuN PTFE at the low sliding speed(0.44m/s) and the oil temperature ($60^{\circ}C$) were higher than that of virgin PTFE. And a thin nano copper particles impreganated thickness was formed on the surface in the PTFE and the specimen with this treatment has much better friction properties than the original one. Fortunately, at the high load(80 N) and the oil temperature, the friction coefficient of CuN PTFE was lower than that of virgin PTFE. This evidenced the load carrying capacity of CuN PTFE was much better than that of virgin PTFE under the high load condition(80 N) specially. Therefore, it can be concluded that the friction coefficient variation of CuN PTFE is very small but its wear rate decreases greatly with increase in sliding speed.

This paper analyzes voltage control method in order to supply high-quality power for stand-alone microgrid. Stand-alone microgrid is composed of battery bank, stand-alone PCS and controllable loads. The main role of stand-alone PCS is to supply high-quality power to loads as main source by using stable voltage method regardless of load conditions. In particularly, output voltage of stand-alone PCS gets severely unbalanced voltage under unbalanced loads. Fundamental positive and negative sequences are transformed by two coordinates transformation which are rotated in each opposite direction, respectively. Each fundamental d-q voltage is regulated by each fundamental PI control. In addition, low-order harmonics are compensated through resonant controllers. Performance of stand-alone microgrid is tested for feasibility, and it is verified that output voltage of THD is improved to 1% from 2.2% under 50 kW balanced load, and is improved to 1.1% from 2.6% under 50 kW unbalanced load.
