Converter transformers play important roles in high-voltage direct current transmission systems. This paper presents experimental and analysis results of the combined electrical and thermal aging of oil-impregnated paper at pulsating DC voltages. Breakdown voltages and time-to-breakdown of oil-paper specimens were measured by using short-time and constant-stress tests. The breakdown characteristics of combined electrical and thermal aging on insulation system were discussed. According to the relationship between failure time and aging temperature, the two-parameter Weibull model was improved. On the basis of the competing risk algorithm and the improved Weibull model, the two factors failure model was calculated. And the influence of temperature in the insulation system has been analyzed. This model performs better than the two-parameter Weibull model when both time and temperature are considered as variables in estimating the lifetime of oil-paper insulation.

The reliability issue of IGBT is a concern for researchers given the critical role the device plays in the safety of operations of the converter system. The reliability of power devices can be estimated from the intermittent life test, which aims to simulate typical applications in power electronics in an accelerated manner to obtain lifetime data. However, the test is time-consuming, as testing conditions are not well considered and only rough provisions have been made in the current standards. Acceleration of the test by changing critical test conditions is controversial due to the activation of unexpected failure mechanisms. Therefore, full investigations were conducted on critical test conditions of intermittent life test. A design optimization process for IGBT intermittent life testing program was developed to save on test times without imposing additional failure mechanisms. The applicability of the process has been supported by a number of tests and failure analysis of the test results. The process proposed in this paper can guide the test process for other power semiconductors.

A cluster topology was proposed with the assumption of zero noise to improve the performance of wireless body area networks (WBANs). However, in WBANs, the transmission power should be reduced as low as possible to avoid the effect of electromagnetic waves on the human body and to extend the lifetime of a battery. Therefore, in this work, we consider a bit error rate for a cluster-based WBAN and analyze the performance of the system while the transmission of sensors and cluster headers (CHs) is controlled. Moreover, a hierarchical topology is proposed for the cluster-based WBAN to further improve the throughput of the system; this proposed system is called as the hierarchical cluster WBAN. The hierarchical cluster WBAN is combined with a transmission control scheme, that is, complete control, spatial reuse superframe, to increase the throughput. The proposed system is analyzed and evaluated based on several factors of the system model, such as signal-to-noise ratio, number of clusters, and number of sensors. The calculation result indicates that the proposed hierarchical cluster WBAN outperforms the cluster-based WBAN in all analyzed scenarios.

남조류와 crytomonads를 포함한 식물플랑크톤의 일차적 형광특성을 in vivo 상태에서 조사하였다. 형광과 exciatation 스펙트럼을 측정한 견과, 약 580-640 nm 영역에 걸친 형광 스펙트럼이, 조사된 모든 식물플랑크톤으로부터 얻어졌다. 관찰된 형광 스펙트럼의 $\lambda_{max}$ 값은, Synechofoccus sp.(SYN)을 제외하고 모두 유사한 것으로 나타났다 $(\pm3nm)$. 관찰된 형광 스펙트럼의 형광소(fluorophore)를 밝히기 위하여, 식물플랑크톤의 형광 스펙트럼의 세기와 모양, $\lambda_{max}$를 식물플랑크톤에 존재하는 유기화합물의 표준용액의 것과 비교하였다. 식물플랑크톤의 fluorescence $lifetime(\lambda)$과 fluorescence decay curve를 식물플랑크톤에 존재하는 유기화합물의 표준용액의 $\lambda$값과 비교하였다. 580 nm의 형광 파장을 사용하여 얻은 식물플랑크톤의 fluorescence decay는 menoex-ponential과 biexponential decay를 보였으며, 식물플랑크톤의 $\lambda(1.39-1.95ns)$ b-phycoerythrin의 표준용액의 $\lambda(3.23ns)$값보다 현저히 작게 나타났다. 이는 이미 알려진 광합성 능력을 가진 intact cell 내부에서 엽록소 a와 biliprotein간의 효율적인 에너지 전달 체계에 의한 $\lambda$값의 단축으로 여겨지며, 580nm의 형광특성이 biliprotein에 의한 것임을 보여준다.

이 논문은 하서 김인후가 사후에 조선 성리학의 정통 학맥을 계승하는 존재로 위상이 부여되고 추숭되는 과정을 추적하였다. 그리고 이와 같은 형상화의 과정을 근거로 과거 인물의 생애를 다룬 다양한 자료가 상호간에 어떤 방식으로 영향을 주거나 배제하면서 인물형상화의 과정을 거치는지 확인해 보고자 하였다. 하서의 어린 시절 생애는 김인후와 군주 인종의 굳건한 관계를 부각하기 위해 새로이 배치되었다. 김인후는 당시 사림들에게는 깊은 상처이자 풀어야 할 시대적 과제로 인식되고 있던 기묘사림의 복권이라는, 그 당시 가장 중요하고도 첨예한 문제를 제기한 사람이고, 인종은 기묘사림의 복권을 실현한 군주였기 때문이다. 이것은 무엇에도 흔들리지 않는 굳건한 절개와 충심을 가진 선비로서의 하서의 상을 세우는 데 결정적인 기여를 했다. 조선후기에서는 중앙 조정의 서인과 군주 정조의 주도 하에 하서에 대한 추숭이 이루어졌다. 우선 17세기는 서인들이 김인후의 생애를 다룬 자료들을 다방면으로 수정하고, 김인후의 문집을 교정하여 간행했다. 이것은 당시 서인들이 추진하고 있던 서인계열의 학통 수립, 학문의 정통성 확보라는 목표 하에서 이루어진 것이었다. 그에 따라 율곡 이이를 비롯한 서인계 학자들에 대한 추숭과 병행되었다. 마지막으로 18세기에 이르러 하서는 문묘에 종향되면서, 조선에서 가장 앞선 성리학자이자 해동정학(海東正學)으로서의 위상을 부여받았다. 그 과정에서 우리는 정조가 군왕으로서 정치적으로 한 국가의 수장일 뿐만 아니라, 한 국가의 정통의 학문에 대한 책임을 자부하는 사표(師表)로서 자기의 위상을 확고히 하려는 욕망을 읽을 수 있다.

a-Si is commonly considered as a primary candidate for the formation of passivation layer in heterojunction (HIT) solar cells. However, there are some problems when using this material such as significant losses due to recombination and parasitic absorption. To reduce these problems, a wide bandgap material is needed. A wide bandgap has a positive influence on effective transmittance, reduction of the parasitic absorption, and prevention of unnecessary epitaxial growth. In this paper, the adoption of a-SiO_x:H as the intrinsic layer was discussed. To increase lifetime and conductivity, oxygen concentration control is crucial because it is correlated with the thickness, bonding defect, interface density (D_it), and band offset. A thick oxygen-rich layer causes the lifetime and the implied open-circuit voltage to drop. Furthermore the thicker the layer gets, the more free hydrogen atoms are etched in thin films, which worsens the passivation quality and the efficiency of solar cells. Previous studies revealed that the lifetime and the implied voltage decreased when the a-SiOx thickness went beyond around 9 nm. In addition to this, oxygen acted as a defect in the intrinsic layer. The D_it increased up to an oxygen rate on the order of 8%. Beyond 8%, the D_it was constant. By controlling the oxygen concentration properly and achieving a thin layer, high-efficiency HIT solar cells can be fabricated.

This paper proposes the allocation method for capacitor-reactor banks in a distribution system with dispersed generators to reduce the installation costs, the maintenance costs and minimize the loss of electrical energy. The expected lifetime and maintenance period of devices with moving parts depends on the total number of operations, which affects the replacement and maintenance period for aging equipment under a limited budget. In this paper, the expected device lifetimes and the maintenance period are included in the formulation, and the optimal operation status of the devices is determined using a genetic algorithm. The optimal numbers and locations for capacitor-reactor banks are determined based on the optimal operation status. Simulation results in a 69-bus distribution system with the dispersed generator show that the proposed technique performs better than conventional methods.

A battery is the device that transforms the chemical energy into the direct-current electrical energy without a mechanical process. Unit cells are connected in series to obtain the required voltage while being connected in parallel to organize capacity for load current. Because the voltage drop down in one set of battery is faster than in two one it may result in the low efficiency of power converter with the voltage drop and cause the system shutdown. However when the system being shutdown. However when the system being driven in parallel a circular-current can be generated,. It is shown that as a result the new batteries are heated by over-charge and over-discharge and the over charge current increases rust of the positive grid and consequently shortens the lifetime of the new batteries. The difference between the new batteries and old ones is the amount of internal resistance. In this paper we can detect the unbalance current using the microprocessor and achieve the balance current by adjusting resistance of each set, The internal resistance of each set becomes constant and the current of charge and discharge comes to be balanced by inserting the external resistance into the system and calculating the change of internal resistance.

Mostly used sensors have wired powering and two-way cable systems. It is difficult to employ wired sensor network in ubiquitous era because of a number of sensors and cables. Therefore, sensor networks move from wired systems to wireless systems for the future. However, the power source is a critical obstacle for wireless sensornodes. This research represents the new power source which supplies energy sensor node, maintains over 10 years, and thus replaces batteries with limit of lifetime. The system with piezo materials scavenges extra energies such as vibration and acceleration from the environment. Then it converts the scavenged mechanical energy to electrical energy for powering a sensor, a controller and a circuit for regulating voltage and transmitting sensor value. This study explains the properties of piezo material through theoretical analysis and experiments, and demonstrates powering sensor and transmitting data with stored energy (35mJ) for 14 sec. The developed system provides a solution to overcome the critical problem of making up wireless sensor networks.
