This paper presents a novel method for real-time malfunction detection of plasma etching process using EPD signal traces. First, many reference EPD signal traces are collected using monochromator and data acquisition system in normal etching processes. Critical points are defined by applying differentiation and zero-crossing method to the collected reference signal traces. Critical parameters such as intensity, slope, time, peak, overshoot, etc., determined by critical points, and frame attributes transformed signal-to symbol of reference signal traces are saved. Also, UCL(Upper Control Limit) and LCL(Lower Control Limit) are obtained by mean and standard deviation of critical parameters. Then, test EPD signal traces are collected in the actual processes, and frame attributes and critical parameters are obtained using the above mentioned method. Process malfunctions are detected in real-time by applying SPC(Statistical Process Control) method to critical parameters. the Real-time malfunction detection method presented in this paper was applied to actual processes and the results indicated that it was proved to be able to supplement disadvantages of existing quality control check inspecting or testing random-selected devices and detect process malfunctions correctly in real-time.

The DC system has less power loss compared to the AC system because there is no influence of frequency and dielectric loss. However, the zero-crossing point of the current is not detected in the event of a short circuit fault, and it is difficult to interruption due to the large fault current that occurs during the opening, so the reliability of the DC breaker is required. As a solution to this, an LC resonance DC circuit breaker combined a superconducting element has been proposed. This is a method of limiting the fault current, which rises rapidly in case of a short circuit fault, with the quench resistance of the superconducting element, and interruption the fault current passing through the zero-crossing point through LC resonance. The superconducting current limiting element combined to the DC circuit breaker plays an important role in reducing the electrical burden of the circuit breaker. However, at the beginning of a short circuit fault, superconducting devices also have a large electrical burden due to large fault currents, which can destroy the element. In this paper, the reactor is connected to the source side of the circuit using PSCAD/EMTDC. After that, the change of the fault current according to the reactor capacity and the electrical burden of the superconducting element were confirmed through simulation. As a result, it was confirmed that the interruption time was delayed as the capacity of the reactor connected to the source side increased, but peak of the fault current decreased, the zero-crossing point generation time was shortened, and the electrical burden of the superconducting element decreased.

This paper presents a new software-based on-line dead-time compensation technique for a single-phase grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) inverter system. To prevent a short circuit in the inverter arms, a switching delay time must be inserted in the pulse width modulation (PWM) signals. This causes the dead-time effect, which degrades the system performance around zero-crossing point of the output current. To reduce the dead-time effect around the zero-crossing point of grid current, a harmonic mitigation of grid current is used as an additional part of the synchronous frame current control scheme. This additional task mitigates the harmonic components caused by the dead-time from the grid current. Simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed dead-time compensation method in the single-phase grid-connected inverter system.

This paper proposed a new approach for endpoint detection of isolated speech, which proves to significantly improve the endpoint detection performance. The proposed algorithm relies on the root mean square energy (rms energy), zero crossing rate and spectral characteristics of the speech signal where the Euclidean distance measure is adopted using cepstral coefficients to accurately detect the endpoint of isolated speech. The algorithm offers better performance than traditional energy-based algorithm. The vocabulary for the experiment includes English digit from one to nine. These experimental results were conducted by 360 utterances from a male speaker. Experimental results show that the accuracy of the algorithm is quite acceptable. Moreover, the computation overload of this algorithm is low since the cepstral coefficients parameters will be used in feature extraction later of speech recognition procedure.

In this work, in order to obtain the detailed information about lightning electromagnetic pulses, the electric fields radiated from multiple lightning return strokes were measured and analyzed statistically. The electric field measuring system consists of a hemisphere antenna of 30cm in diameter, integrator and data acquisition device, and its frequency bandwidth ranges from 200Hz to 1.56MHz, and the sensitivity is 0.96㎷/V/m. The electric field signals are digitized every 200ns with the transient signal analyzer having the resolution of 12-bit and the recording length of 5 kilowords and are registered at personal computer. As a result, the electric fields produced by the first return stroke begin with a slow initial part or front, which starts just after or during the last stepped leader. On the average the rise times of the electric fields for the positive first, second and third strokes are 4.21${\mu}\textrm{s}$, 3.94${\mu}\textrm{s}$ and 2.75${\mu}\textrm{s}$, respectively, and those for the negative first, second and third strokes are 3.46${\mu}\textrm{s}$, 3.15${\mu}\textrm{s}$ and 2.79${\mu}\textrm{s}$, respectively. The zero-crossing times of the electric fields for first return strokes range from about 10 to 80${\mu}\textrm{s}$. The mean zero-crossing times for subsequent return strokes are shorter than those for first lightning return strokes.

A Method for detection of saturation of a current transformer(CT) is proposed. The algorithm is initiated when the end point of a saturation period is detected. This detection is achieved by checking the time interval between the adjacent zero-crossing points of the second derivative of the secondary current. Once the end point of the saturation period is detected, the beginning point of the corresponding saturation period is determined by backward examination of the sum of the secondary current from the end point. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated for a-g faults on a 345 kV 100km overhead transmission line. The Electromagnetic Transient Program(EMTP) was used to generate fault current signals for different fault inception angles and different remanent fluxes. The performance evaluation shows that the proposed algorithm successfully detects the saturation period even in the presence of a remanent flux.

FMI를 기반으로 하는 co-simulation의 마스터 알고리즘(MA)에서 시뮬레이션 결과의 정확도를 높이는 방법으로 zero crossing 포인트를 찾기 위한 Bisectional algorithm을 사용할 수 있다. 그러나 이 알고리즘은 많은 Rollback을 야기한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 제안하는 MA는 Bisection algorithm을 통해 zero crossing 포인트를 검출하면서도 반복되는 구간 그래프를 분석하여 그 값을 Markov chain을 적용하여 다음 구간을 예측하여 이를 step size에 적용한다. 시뮬레이션에서 실제 Rollback이 발생했을 때 그래프 형태별로 변화되는 step size를 배열로 저장하고, 이룰 다음 예측 구간에 적용함으로서 Rollback을 최소화하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제안하는 알고리즘이 기존 알고리즘에 비해 최대 20% 이상의 시뮬레이션 시간이 감소되는 것을 확인하였다.

The full-bridge inverter, widely used for single-phase photovoltaic grid-connected applications, presents a leakage current issue. Therefore, an AC bypass branch is introduced to overcome this challenge. Nevertheless, existing modulation strategies entail drawbacks that should be addressed. One is the zero-crossing distortion (ZCD) of the AC current caused by neglecting the AC filter inductor voltage. Another is that the system cannot deliver reactive power because the AC bypass branch switches at the power frequency. To address these problems, this work proposes an optimized hybrid modulation strategy. To reduce ZCD, the phase angle of the inverter output voltage reference is shifted, thereby compensating for the neglected leading angle. To generate the reactive power, the interval of the negative power output is calculated using the power factor. In addition, the freewheeling switch is kept on when power is flowing into the grid and commutates at a high frequency when power is fed back to the DC side. In this manner, the dead-time insertion in the high-frequency switching area is minimized. Finally, the performances of the proposed modulation strategy and traditional strategies are compared on a universal prototype inverter. Experimental results validate the theoretical analysis.
