A smart meter is a kind of electronic meters that measures and records consumption of electric energy in intervals of an hour or less and transmits that information to the remote places. AMI provides two-way communication path between utilities and consumers and should be able to support smart grid's new functionalities such as demand-response actions and real time pricing. The main objective of this paper is to provide a new diagnosis method and system for testing of smart meters in AMI neighborhood area network.

For a reciprocating compressor of household refrigerators, a direct analogy between the pipe flow network and the electric circuit network has been utilized to set up a mathematical model for oil supply system. Individual lubrication elements of the oil supply system, such as propeller- installed oil cap, oil galleries, radial oil feeding holes, spiral oil grooves, and various sliding surfaces have been analogized by equivalent electric elements, and these have been combined together to form an electric circuit corresponding to the whole oil supply system. By solving the closed network equations of the model, oil flow rates at various lubrication elements could be obtained. Total amount of the oil flow rate drawn into the shaft has been measured and compared reasonably well with the prediction of the numerical simulation.

In this paper, we newly introduce a wireless identification system using a solar cell and RF transceivers. The reader sends interrogating signal to a transponder using LED visible light, and the transponder responds to the reader using RF signal. The transponder consists of a solar cell, an amplifier, a microprocessor, and an RF transmitter. The solar cell receives the visible light from the reader and generates current to supply electric power to the other devices in the transponder. At the same time, the solar cell detects interrogating signal in the reader light. The microprocessor senses the interrogating signal and generates a responding signal. The RF transmitter radiates the responding signal to the reader. The transponder is a passive circuit because it operates without external power. In experiments, the maximum read distance between a reader and a transponder was about 1.6 meter.

Robot are necessary to automate the work on a vertical plane of work piece to produce a large structure like a ship, so that a permanent magnet wheel has been attempted to be used for a mobile robot. Its adhesive power was enhanced by restricting the occurrence direction of magnetic flow. Furthermore a method which weakened the adhesive force was developed for easy detachement of the wheel by changing magnetic flow with metal pin. To measure the characteristics of the adhesive and detaching farces, a load call and a gaussmeter were used. The result showed that the adhesive power was reduced to 1/3 of normal state by using 4 inducing pins.

For the evaluation of the DC motor noise and vibration, usually it is rely on human feeling because some kinds of noise are not definitely represented by measurement Instrument such as sound meter. But when we consider time signal of the noise and vibration. It is possible to represent them. And in this paper. it is suggested to study output current shape of the motor because it Is the source to make speed and torque variation of the motor. If the current shape is not stable. it makes operating state of the motor unstable and produces noise and vibration. By analyzing signal at time and frequency of noise and vibration and current shape. it is possible to automation of the noise and vibration measurement in the Production line.

Test facilities for the wind turbine performance monitoring and mechanical load measurements are installed in Vestas 100 kW wind turbine in Wollyong test site, Jeju island. The monitoring system consists of Garrad-Hassan T-MON system, telemetry system for blade load measurement, various sensors such as anemometer, wind vane, strain gauge, power meter, and etc. The experimental procedure for the measurement of wind turbine loads, such as edgewise(lead-lag) bending moment, flapwise bending moment, and tower base bending moment, has been established. Strain gauges are on-site calibrated against load cell prior to monitoring the wind turbine loads. Using the established monitoring system, the wind turbine is remotely monitored. From the measured load data, the load analysis has been performed to obtain the load power spectral density and the fatigue load spectra of the wind turbine.

A low voltage circuit breaker protects electrical equipments from over current and short faults of system by cutting the power supply. The breaker use a thermal magnetic type trip device from the past. In recent years, electronic type relays are applied due to useful functions and services. The purpose of this development is full digitalizing of relay functions of a low voltage breaker. It includes separation of current sensor from current transformer, digital signal processing, high speed relaying, and voltage measuring for power meter. The suggestions are tested and implemented by making prototype and testing its all relay functions.

The electrical parameters are used to calculate gains in the current regulator as well as to determine the reference currents of speed controller in various control strategies of Synchronous Reluctance Motors (SynRMs). Many methods of measuring or estimating the electrical parameters of SynRM have been proposed by other authors. But almost papers only measure or estimate in the limited conditions without fully considering the effects of inverter, connecting wire and magnetic saturation. The parameter results are usually different from the real system parameters. The drive performance, therefore, can not be good if using inaccurate parameters. In this paper, several methods used to measure the electrical parameters are introduced. The first method is LCR meter. And then, a method determining inductances by measuring AC current and voltage from AC power supply is presented. A new method with high reliability is proposed to measure the electrical parameters of SynRM. The experiment results verify the effectiveness of the new proposed method.

In this paper, the cause of the discrepancy of the inlet and outlet flow of the lubricating oil feed pump was analyzed by the flow measurement and the analysis of the flow network. At first, we thought that the flow difference was induced by a leak in the middle of the flow network. But, through the flow measurement using ultrasonic flow meter and the performance analysis of the pump, we knew that the cause of the flow difference was due to a drop in efficiency of the pump according to the pressure drop of the outlet. Also, we knew that the shape of the piping had no effect on the efficiency of the pump.

The sudden shock of repeated oil crisis and the subsequent violent increases in petroleum prices have given rise to an intensive worldwide effort to develop alternate sources of clean energy. Against this background, a great deal of attention has recently come to be focused on mini-scale hydroelectric power turbine generation. There is now a strong demand for the development of a hydroelectric generator suitable for generating power on a small scale and copable of overcoming the high per kilowatt cost of conventional one's then Francis turbine. Hence was accordingly developed the "Cross flowturbine generator" of 1000kw and less, which we call. This mimi-scale water turbine is reliably and easily handled and also can be economicaly manufactored in a range with effective head of over 3meter's a flow rate of minimum 30 liter per sec and an output of below 1000kw good's.kw good's.
