The Preisach model needs density function or Everett function for the sample material to calculate the hysteresis characteristics. To obtain these functions, many experimental data obtained from the first order transition curves are required. However, it is not simple task to measure the curves. In this paper, a simple generalized technique to get the Everett function using saturation hysteresis loop and two first order transition curves is proposed. These three data makes three equations for the proposed Everett function model and we can get three variables by those equations. From the simulation, we got acceptable results.

While the z-transform method is a basic mathematical tool to relate the signals only at the sampling instants in analyzing and designing sampled-data control systems, the modified z-transform which is a variation of the z-transform is widely used to represent the details of continuous signals between the sampling instants. Regarding the modified z-transform method, some properties were established to relate the modified z-transform to the regular z-transform. This paper will show that these properties, in their current forms, cause some analytic problems, when they are applied to the signals with discontinuities at the sampling instants, which accordingly limit their applications significantly. In this paper, those analytic problems will be investigated, and the theorems of the modified z-transform will be revised by adopting a new notation so that those can be correctly interpreted and used without any analytic problems in the analysis of sampled data systems. Also some useful schemes of applying the modified z-transform will be developed.

The z-transform method is a basic mathematical tool in analyzing and designing sampled-data control systems. However, since the z-transform method relates only the sampling-instants signals, another mathematical tool is necessary to describe the continous signals between the sampling instants. For this purpose the delayed and the modi fled z-transform methods were developed. The definition of the modi fled z-transform includes a sample in the interval [-T,0] of the original signal in its series expression, where the signal value is always zero for any physical system. From this reason one step skew of the time index always appears in its application formulas. This introduces an unnecessary operation and a gap in linking the mathematical formula and its physical interpretation. Considering the conceptual difficulty and application inconvenience, a method of using the advanced z-transform in analysis of sampled-data control systems is developed as a replacement of the modi fled z-transform. With one formulation of the advanced z-transform, now it is possible to relate both the signals of the sampling instants and those in between without any complication and conceptual difficulty.

A number of algorithm using the VSS(Variable Structure System) for uncertain dynamic system are developed. But, in these algorithms, the assumption that the uncertainties are bounded and their bounds are available to the designer is involved. And bounds on the uncertainties are an important clue to guarantee the stability of the closed loop system. However, sometimes bounds on the uncertainties may not be easily obtained because of the complexity of the structure of the uncertainties. Therefore, a methodology by which the boundary values on the uncertainties can be easily obtained is required. The VSS proposed in this proposal employ the new adaptive VSS scheme for uncertain dynamic system being estimated on line. The resulting control law is simple and easy to apply to on line computer control. It can also suppress chattering and maintain good tracking precision even if unmodeled dynamics are considered. And, a new method using nonlinear switching surface is introduced so that the speed response is improved and the good transient response can be obtained. Simulation results are presented and show the advantage of the proposed adaptive VSS with nonlinear switching surfaces.

For a class of single-input single-output continuous-time nonlinear systems, a multilayer neural network-based controller that feedback-linearizes the system is presented. Control action is used to achieve tracking performance for a state-feedback linearizable but unknown nonlinear system. The multilayer neural network(NN) is used to approximate nonlinear continuous function to any desired degree of accuracy. The weight-update rule of multilayer neural network is derived to satisfy Lyapunov stability. It is shown that all the signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly bounded. Initialization of the network weights is straightforward.

This paper presents the automatic construction and parameter optimization technique for the fuzzy logic controller using genetic algorithm. In general the design of fuzzy controller has difficulties in the acquisition of expert's knowledge and relies to a great extent on empirical and heuristic knowledge which, in many cases, cannot be objectively justified. Therefor the performance of the controller can be degraded in the case of plant parameter variations or unpredictable incident which the designer may lave ignored. And fuzzy logic controller parameters elicited form the expert may not be global. Some of these problems can be resolved by application of genetic algorithm. Finally, we provides the second order dead time plant to evaluate the feasibility and generality of our proposed method. Comparison shows that the proposed method can produce a fuzzy logic controller with higher accuracy and a smaller number of fuzzy roles than manually billed fuzzy logic controller.

This paper presents an integrated stability analysis by the direct energy function method based on Equivalent Mechanical Model(EMM) which reflects the system behavior related to both angle and voltage stabilities. Actually, angle and voltage stability are intimately related in power system, so complete decoupling of these stability analysis is not possible in general, particularly in stressed power systems. In this paper, it is shown that a identical energy function can be used for angle and voltage stability analysis. The proposed energy function reflects the line resistances and reactive powers under the constraints of the same R/X ratio. The energy margin between UEP and SEP presents a good collapse proximity index in both types of stability analysis.

This paper develops a method for reliably estimating an UEP(Unstable Equilibrium Point) which is located in the direction of SEP(Stable Equilibrium Point)'s moving as system load is getting heavy. As power systems are getting loaded heavily, the SEP which is an operable solution, and the UEP which is occurring voltage collapse, are moving toward each other linearly. The estimated UEP is used as a good initial guess for the real UEP. The proposed method is tested by 3 bus system and Stagg 5 bus system. It is demonstrated that the proposed method is very useful for assessing system voltage stability in the case of heavy loaded power system. The result solutions are often used in conjunction with energy methods and the stability margin.

This paper presents a energy function to reflect the control effect of speed governor which has a cut-off property which means position and rate limit The proposed energy function satisfies the semi-negativeness of its time derivative and well reflects the parameters of speed governor to the energy function. The transient stability analysis by the direct method for the single machine infinite bus system has been conducted with the use of the proposed energy function, which shows that the results by the direct method well agree with that by the conventional time simulation method. This thesis shows a possibility of more accurate stability analysis by taking into account the cut-off property of speed governor's output.

In this paper center manifold theory is reviewed and its application to the control of bifurcations is explored. When applying the theory to a sample power system, we study the stabilization of bifurcation points using controls depending only on the rotor angular velocity of a generator. Under such a control it is shown that the system is not locally stabilizable when control is applied through mechanical power, and the system is locally stabilizable when the control is applied to the capacitor compensator.

A simulation procedure was developed for identifying Yungnam unit 2 excitation model parameters to improve the accuracy of stability simulation of KEPCO. First, generator model parameters are derived by using modified load rejection technique from measured load rejection test. For identifying excitation model parameters, switch was changed from MVR mode to AVR mode in Yungnam unit 2 excitation system instead of applying to a small step to the voltage reference(
$V_{ref}$ ) because of saving time and efforts, assuming the test result would show coincided result with applying to a small step to the$V_{ref}$ . However, it was found that the response of switching from MVR to AVR is greatly different from it of applying small signal to the$V_{ref}$ . A simulation procedure was needed to take into accounts of real AVR component status before and after switching from MVR to AVR. This paper reports the procedure which duplicated the measured response and addresses the merits of this test on conventional AVR step test. -
Response speed of generator/control system kas increased with the aid of the development of power electronics. Even though it is desirable to enhance response speed for the control system(AVR/Gov) of generator itself, in case a certain generator/control system with high response excitation system is connected with bulk power system, terminal voltage and active power of some generators can oscillate with adjoining generators or near area when even a little of disturbance take place. PSS(Power System Stabilizer) is used to damp rotor swing by adding the supplementary signal in phase with speed. As the stable AVR response is very important before PSS is installed, modeling and analysis of generator/control system was performed. Next we have analysed PSS response of Hanlim's gas turbine by transmission line open/close test.

Each simulation result, by which evolutionary computations are compared and analyzed, shows the possibility of applications of evolutionary computation to large scale power systems.

The purpose of slate estimation in power system is to estimate the best-fit Slate variables from the measurements contaminated by various kind of noise. But because the majority of state estimation modules in EMS lack the convergence characteristics, sometimes the desirable outputs can't be obtained. So, in this paper, the new algorithm using the load now output as initial values in the state estimation calculation is proposed to guarantee the convergence. And if the load now outputs were used as the initial values in the calculation, the change in each step would be small compared to the original method using the flat start point. And the Inverse Lemma is used in the algorithm to calculate the new stale in each iteration step for reducing the calculation time. The proposed algorithm was tested on the IEEE 14, 30, 118 bus systems. Eventually, we were able to verity that the differences between the results obtained by the original method and proposed method were relatively small, and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm increased when applied to the bigger systems.

Low-density polyethylene(LDPE ; thickness 100[
${\mu}m$ ] as a experimental specimen is irradiated with electron beam by using electron beam accelerator, and as an experimental specimen, the nonirradiated specimen and the specimen irradiated with electron beam is produced according to the classification of dose. From the analysis of DSC, the crystalline melting point of the specimen irradiated with electron beam is lower than that of virgin specimen. It is confirmed thai the volume resistivity is increased from the temperature over$50[^{\circ}C]{\sim}60[^{\circ}C]$ to the crystalline melting point because of the defects of solid structure and the formation of many trap centers by means of electron beam irradiation, but decreased in the temperature over the crystalline melting point because of the melt of crystalline. -
In this paper, aging characteristics of outdoor silicone rubber insulator resulting from the acid rain have been investigated with regards to nitrate ion (
$NO_3$ ). For this purpose, silicone rubber was aged by immersing into the nitric solutions with different level ph during 1500 hours and various tests(tracking, contact angle,$tan{\delta}$ , breakdown voltage, SEM, EDS, FT-IR) were performed.

MgO film was deposited on the glass substrate by the hollow cathode discharge ion plating method and the characteristics of the MgO thin film such as deposition rate, crystalline orientation, surface morphology and secondary electron coefficient were investigated. The deposition rate of MgO thin films were
$430^{\sim}1270{\AA}$ /min at various temperatures and biases. The crystalline orientation of the MgO thin film changed from (200) to (220) upon increasing the HCD current from 100A to 200A. These results indicated that the crystallin orientation of the MgO thin film was determined by the super-saturation ratio.

The grain size increased as the substrate bias increased and the secondary electron emission coefficient increased as the substrate bias increased. -
DLC(Diamond-Like Carbon) films were prepared by Inductively Coupled Plasma(ICP) CVD system. It was confirmed that the field emission characteristics are closely related to the richness of C-H bonding incorporated in the DLC. According to Fowler-Nordheim equation, it is thought that the ability of DLC to emit electron at relatively low voltage is due to the field enhancement caused by the nodules of
${\sim}100nm$ size on the surface of DLC. The electric field to start field emission was about$1.4{\times}10^9V/m$ in case of DLC film deposited at input power of 400W and substrate bias of -100V. -

As the substrate temperature and bias voltage were increased, the grain size of MgO thin film increased. XRD peaks of (111) and (222) direction became dominant, as the substrate bias voltage increases and temperature decreases.

The dielectric breakdown characteristics of DGEBA/MDA/SN system filled with
$Al_2O_3$ under AC high electric field were investigated. As the filler content increased, the dielectric breakdown strength increased, but decreased at higher filler content than 5 phr. The probability of defects such as air bubbles, peel between filler and epoxy resin insulator, etc. increase proportionally to filler contents. Fillers blockade the treeing growth and relax the electric field at the tip of electrical tree and the treeing propagation rate decreases so that the strength showed higher strength at lower filler content than 5 phr. -
The growth of tree is affected by voltage, frequency, temperature, mechanical stress, etc.. This paper describes the effect of applied voltage on the growth of tree in DGEBA/MDA/GN(10 phr) system. As applied voltage increased, the time to breakdown of the system reduced. As applied time increased, the tree length of X-axis increased with sigmoid shape, however, the tree length of Y-axis increased sharply at the initial step and then were nearly constant. The phenomena of tree were complicated more and more, as applied time increased.

The self-refresh mode was introduced as method to reduce power dissipation in DRAM. Because the data retention time of DRAM cell decreases as the ambient temperature rises, the internal period in self-refresh mode must be limited by retention capability at the highest temperature in DRAM specification.

$25^{\circ}C$ ) unnecessary power dissipation happens, If the period of self-refresh could be modulated as temperature, it is possible to reduce the self-refresh current. In this paper, new temperature detector circuit is suggested as this purpose. -

In this paper, a new algorithm for sensorless speed control of switched reluctance motor (SRM) is proposed. It is based on the measurement of initial rate of change of phase current. The initial rate of rise of phase current mainly depends up on the phase inductance at the time instant when the phase is excited. Therefore, the measurement of initial di/dt permits rotor position estimation, which is used to trigger the next phase. In the proposed technique, there is no need to generate additional current pulses when a phase is not excited. Therefore, this scheme does not introduce the unwanted braking torque. Also, only one current measurement is made every time a phase is excited. This reduces the computational load on the micro-controller and enhances the speed range of the sensorless drive. By using this scheme it is possible to implement the sensorless control of SRM using low cost micro-controller.

In case of field weakening region, the dynamic behavior of the speed controller depends on the rotor flux level. In this region, the flux is decreased inversely proportional to the rotor speed. As the rotor flux is decreased, as the magnetizing inductance is increased. In this paper, the effect of this increased magnetizing inductance to the performance of vector control is illustrated. The stationary reference frame torque not including the magnetizing inductance is calculated by stationary stator flux, and the rotating reference frame torque including the magnetizing inductance is calculated by rotating rotor flux. If the magnetizing inductance value is constant, two torque values are same regardless of the flux-component current. However, if the magnetizing inductance is varied, those two values are different. The paper presents the new tuning scheme of the magnetizing inductance using the difference between the stationary and rotating torque. Computer simulation demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed scheme.

Driving the electrodeless fluorescent lamp, the high ac voltage with high frequency is required. The linear power amplifier has been widely used as a driving circuit of electrodeless fluorescent lamp. However, the low efficiency of the power amplifier causes the driving circuit to be replaced by a PWM switching inverter. In order to use a PWM switching inverter as the driving circuit of an electrodeless fluorescent lamp, the high switching frequency is required. But due to the switching loss at switches of the inverter, the limitation of high switching frequency appears in the inverter. One solution to this limitation is to reduce the switching loss by using the zero voltage switching technique. In this paper, zero voltage switching resonant inverter for driving an electrodeless fluorescent lamp is discussed. The results of analysis about the inverter are presented and the equations for design are established. And the validity of the analyzed results are verified through the experiment.

In application of high power IGBT PWM inverters, the treatable power range is considerably limited due to the overvoltage caused by the stray inductance components within the power circuit. This paper proposes a new gate drive circuit for IGBTs which can actively suppress the overvoltage across the driven IGBT at turn-off and the overvoltage across the opposite IGBT at turn-on while preserving the most simple and reliable power circuit. The turn-off driving scheme has adaptive feature to the amplitude of collector current, so that the overvoltage is limited much effectively at the larger collector current. The turn-on scheme is to decrease the rising rate of the collector current by increasing input capacitance during turn-on transient when the gate-emitter voltage is greater than threshold voltage. The experimental results under various normal and fault conditions prove the effectiveness of the proposed circuit.

And the ensured information should be transmitted between ground and on-board for safety and high speed operation. For these reasons, we have considered the guaranteed reliability by applying FSK method and HDLC protocol. Because HDLC has the advantages of high efficiency, high reliability, low bit rate, and bit transparency. HDLC is the appropriate method for data transmission in MAGLEV.

This paper presents a new image rectification method using stereo image pairs to synthesize arbitrary viewing images. The image rectification is a preprocessing procedure that generates a vertically aligned images and makes epipolar lines collinear. The proposed rectification method has more robustness by considering the real situations such as the mismatch of pan angle, tilt angle and vertical shifting of cameras than previous method[5] which considers only pan angle. We evaluate the proposed method by comparison with previous method using synthesized images.

This paper describes an algorithm for short term load forecasting using the Kohonen neural network. Single layer Kohonen neural network presents a lot of advantageous features for practical application. It takes less training time compared to other networks such as BP network, and moreover, its self organized feature can amend the distorted data. The originality of proposed approach is to use a Kohonen map toclassify data representing load patterns and to use directly the information stored in the weight vectors of the Kohonen map to pridict the load. Proposed method was tested with KEPCO hourly record(1993-1995) show better forecasting results compared with conventional exponential smoothing method.

This research presents a new method of detecting and diagnosing faults of a power plant. Detection of characteristic wave patterns from multichannel instrumentation signals forms the basis of the proposed approach. The dynamics of 500MW drum-type boiler (Boryung coal-fired plant unit #1 and #2) and its control systems are modeled and simulated to generate diverse operation patterns and fault situations and to utilize them for the development of the fault detection algorithms. The results of the boiler system modeling and simulations show a fairly high agreement when compared with some of the actual plant performance test data.

This paper deals with the comparison study of speed controller for torsional vibration suppression of 2-mass motor drive system. Firstly conventional methods suggested were classified systematically and the features of each method were also compared. Especially the speed controller based on Kalman filter and LQ state feedback was proposed and the response characteristics of it were compared with those of some other methods. Through various computer simulations and the experiments of real 22[KW] field oriented controlled AC motor drive system having 2-mas mechanical system, it was confirmed that the characteristic of proposed speed controller using Kalman filter and LQ is the best among them.

An optimum design methodology for the power MOSFET's with a predetermined mask is proposed and verified by comparing with the results of MEDICI simulation and the data of commercially available devices. Optimization is completed by determining a doping concentration and a thickness of the epitaxial layer which satisfy a specific voltage and current rating requirements as well as a minimum on-resistance for the mask set. The commercial HEX-1 mask set with a die area of
$40.4{\times}10^{-3}\;cm^2$ and a T0-220 package has the on-resistance of$1.5{\Omega}$ at 200 V/2.5 A rating while the M-1 mask from this study exhibits$0.6{\Omega}$ on-resistance at 200 V/6 A. The 60 % reduction in the on-resistance and 58 % enhancement in the current rating have been obtained by the proposed method. -
This study describes the dissipation factor measuring techniques of insulating oil on the operating, transformer by using digital signal processing. After applying voltage to the sensor which is installed in a transformer, acquiring source voltage and current of sensor and using cross-correlation techniques, we can check the dissipation factor of insulating oil. To improve measuring accuracy and the speed of process, we use hardware such as TMS320C31 DSP board and analog filter and software such as fast cross-correlation techniques, rectangular window, and digital filtering techniques. We simulated the measuring accuracy and the degree of the noise effect of this new measuring techniques by computer simulation, and compared the simplified measuring devices with Schering Bridge on degraded insulating oil. The result showed that this measuring technique can be used as diagnostic method on the pole transformers.

The microstructural evolution during mechanical alloying of Nb and Sn powders, of average composition Nb3Sn, has been investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Observations by SEM showed a progressive change of milling time. From the XRD studies, the structural development with milling time depends on the ball size for a given powder/ball ratio. Using a larger ball of 9.5mm diameter, the elemental powders initially alloy mechanically to form an A15 structure phase, and then amorphised with continued milling. However, in case of milling with a smaller ball of 3.968mm diameter, an amorphous phase is first formed. These results can be understood by considering the dependence of the milling energy on the ball size. The homogeneous stoichiometric
$Nb_3Sn$ phase could be easily obtained by heat treatment of a supersaturated solid solution produced by MA. Heat treatment of an amorphous phase formed by MA resulted in the mixture of the$Nb_3Sn$ and$Nb_6Sn_5$ phases. -
The use of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) for beta dosimetry has been encumbered by the energy-dependent responses of TLDs to beta radiation. This energy-dependent response is due to the low penetrating ability of beta particles. Thus the determination of the beta dose imparted to an exposed TLD chip can be accurately determined only if the energy distribution of beta radiation is correctly accounted for. So precise beta dosimeter used TLD chips place under several aluminum filters of varying thicknesses and developed to correctly determine doses due to radiation fields where the beta energy distribution is unknown.

The effects of injection angles between
$0^{\circ}$ and$9^{\circ}$ , mainstream turbulent intensities between 0.36 percent and 9.3 percent and embedded longitudinal vortices on jets issuing from a single film cooling hole and from a row of inclined holes are investigated. The heat transfer coefficients around film cooling holes are affected greatly by the compound injection angles. The injected jets affected weakly by the freestream turbulence at low level. However, the heat transfer coefficients near the film cooling holes have higher values at a high turbulence intensity. The vortices generated from a delta winglet change the injected jet direction and the kidney-type vortex pattern. -
At present studies, we are going to suggest the new type of Perovskite derived catalysts which modify the defects of transition metals impregnated. Perovskite type catalyst is a typical mixed metal oxides, and there are "defect"s (from like that oxygen, cation, crystallic structure) were made by difference from composition, preparing method and so forth. And because this, its electro-magnetic character could be much changed. By using this phenomena, it could utilize the modification of adsorption/desorption characters as well as the catalytic activities in NOx reduction. Because perovskite type catalyst can exchange the metal of the each lattice site freely and it is possible to represent the peculiar.
