Abstract

In this study, a power driver for actuating PVDF film that has the characteristic of dramatic impedance change caused by size and operating frequency variation was developed to dehyance rate of dredged sediment. In order to supply maximum energy to the PVDF film, a full-bridge circuit implemented using IGBT with a R-L-PVDF film impedance matching circuit was designed and constructed. the dehydration capabilities of the PVDF film actuated by the developed driver cleary was tested for dredged sediment. It was found that the PVDF film actuated by the developed driver cleary enhanced dehydration, avout three times faster during the first 3 minutes, compared to natural dehydration. The result of the experiment confirmed that the developed power driver for actuating Pvdf film could be used effectively for dehydration of dredged sediment.

본 연구에서는 준설토 탈수를 촉진시키기 위하여, 크기와 구동 주파수에 따라 임피던스 값이 크게 변화하는 PVDF film을 진동시키는 파워 드라이버를 개발하였다. PVDF film actuator를 구동하기 위한 파워 드라비버 IGBT를 이용하여 Full-Bridge 회로로 구현하였으며, R-L-PVDF Film으로 구성된 임피던스 정합 회로를 구현하여 PVDF Film에 최대한 많은 전력이 인가될 수 있도록 설계하였다. 개발한 파워 드라이버로 PVDF film actuator를 구동하여 준설토의 탈수 실험을 진행한 결과, 자연 탈수와 비교할 때 탈수 시작 후 30분 동안 약 3배 빠른 탈수 효과를 확인할 수 있었고, 개발한 PVDF film actuator 구동용 파워 드라이버를 이용하여 진동을 유발하는 준설토 탈수 장치에 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
