This study assessed the degradation of image quality caused by grid artifacts and $moir{\acute{e}}$ pattern artifacts in a stationary grid, and the degradation of image quality caused by cut off artifacts in a moving grid. X-ray images were acquired in a stationary grid and a moving grid with X-ray exposure conditions of 100 cm, 80 kVp, and 30 mA using a CDRAD phantom and a 24 cm thickness acrylic phantom. Observer's perception of X-ray imaging using CDRAD Analyzer was mean 49.36, standard deviation 3.76, maximum 55.56, and minimum 38.67 in the stationary grid, and 47.04, 12.69, 55.56, and 20.89, respectively, in the moving grid. The stationary grid was superior to the moving grid in terms of the mean and standard deviation of observer's perception.

This study focuses on the current state of Smart Grid policy in Japan and its problems while the interest in Smart Grid has been increasing since the March 2011 earthquake in East Japan. As a result of the analysis, Japan introduced the fixed price buying system of new and renewable energy in response to the power supply and demand problem caused by the 2011 earthquake in East Japan, and established a decentralized green electricity trading market in which electricity generated from new and renewable energy is traded Smart Grid-related projects were implemented as a solution to solve energy crisis and environmental problems at the same time. As a result, we achieved visible results such as suppressing peak power, reducing CO2 emissions, and securing stable supply and demand of energy using renewable energy sources. On the other hand, the improvement of current Smart Grid policy operation in Japan and the introduction of stabilization system of power system, promotion of international standards of domestic technology related to smart grid, and support for strengthening security of smart grid.

본 논문은 인버터 독립운전모드에서의 출력 전압 제어 방식을 다루고있다. 본 논문은 계통 연계 모드와 독립 운전 모드간의 모드 절환이 가능한 계통 연계형 인버터 출력단에 비선형 불평형 부하 연결시 발생하는 출력전압 왜곡현상에 대처하기위해 기존에 주로 사용되는 PI 제어를 이용한 방식을 대신해 고정좌 좌표계 또는 abc natural 프레임 하에서 사용되는 PR 제어를 사용하여 고조파 보상을 수행하였으며 추가적으로 계통 연계 모드시 외부 PR 출력 전류 루프와 내부 PR 출력 전압 루프를 가지는 제어기를 제안하였고 이러한 제어 방식이 계통 연계 모드의 출력 전압 THD 성능개선에 효과적임과 동시에 또한 모드 변환시의 동특성을 좀더 개선할 수 있다는 점을 입증하였다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual grid software (VGS). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes in energy and object thickness by dividing the use of VGS into two cases (Without-VGS) without using a movable grid. We attempted to determine the effectiveness of VGS by acquiring images using a chest phantom and a thigh phantom and analyzing SNR and CNR. In the chest phantom and femoral phantom, the tube flow was fixed at 2.5 mAs, and the tube voltage was changed by 10 kVp from 60 to 100 kVp to measure SNR and CNR, and SNR was about 1.09 to 8.86% higher in the chest phantom than in Without-VGS, and CNR was 4.18 to 14.56% higher in the VGS than in Without-VGS. And in the femoral phantom, SNR was about 9.78 to 18.05% higher in VGS than in Without-VGS, and CNR was 21.07 to 44.44% higher in VGS than in Without-VGS. The tube voltage was fixed at 70 kVp in the chest phantom and the femoral phantom, and the amount of tube current was changed at 2.5 to 16 mAs, respectively, and after X-ray irradiation, SNR and CNR were measured in the chest phantom, which was about 1.49 to 11.11% higher in VGS than in Without-VGS, and CNR was 4.76 to 13.40% higher in VGS than in Without-VGS. And in the femoral phantom, SNR was about 2.22 to 17.38% higher in VGS than in Without-VGS, and CNR was 13.85 to 40.46% higher in VGS than in Without-VGS. Therefore, if an inspection is required with a mobile X-ray imaging device, it is believed that good image quality can be obtained by using VGS in an environment where it is difficult to use a mobile grid, and it is believed that the use of mobile X-ray devices can be increased.

오프 그리드 형태의 소형풍력발전기는 도심지 또는 사람이 거주하는 지역에 설치되므로 소음, 진동, 안전성 등에 많은 문제가 야기되고 있다. 풍력발전기 내부적으로 소음 및 진동에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소는 코깅토크로 발전기 회전자가 회전할 때 고정자 슬롯과 회전자 영구자석 사이 공극 릴럭턴스 변화에 의해 발생한다. 또한, 코깅토크는 풍력발전기의 초기 기동 풍속에 영향을 미치며, 토크리플 증가의 원인이 되어 코깅토크 저감 설계는 소형풍력발전기 설계에서 필수적으로 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 실험계획법을 진행하여 이중고정자 발전기의 영구자석 형상 최적화 설계를 통해 코깅토크를 저감 설계를 실시하였으며, 추가적으로 발전기 출력 전압 고조파 발생을 저감시켰다.

In this paper, I propose an adaptive OFDM CP length algorithm for in PLC systems for smart grid. The proposed scheme calculates the channel delay information at the CP controller of the receiver by taking correlation between a received data frame and the following delayed one. The CP controller, immediately, feeds back the channel delay information to the transmitter. Then, the transmitter adapts CP length for next data frame. As an impulsive noise model, Middleton Class A interference model was employed. The performance is evaluated in terms of packet data rate, cumulative packet data rate, and bit error rate (BER). The simulation results showed data gain (which is the amount of the reduced bits) gets larger as the number of packets increase, but the amount of data gain reduced as the number of branches ($N_{br}$) increase. In respects of BER for the cases $N_{br}$ is 3, 4, and 5, performance of the adaptive CP length algorithm and the fixed CP scheme are similar. Therefore, it is confirmed the proposed scheme achieved data rate increment without BER performance reduction compared to the conventional fixed CP length scheme.

A new axial flux permanent magnet machine with soft magnetic composited cores is proposed for electric vehicle application in this paper. The windings and soft magnetic composited cores can be designed to form a very compact structure, and; thus, the torque density can be improved greatly. To obtain the a good flux concentrating ability, two toroidally wound internal stator machines are designed and analyzed, and the designed motor is with NdFeB magnet for high-performance electric vehicle application. The 3-D finite-element method is used to analyze the electromagnetic parameter and performance, for performance comparison, a commercial axial flux permanent magnet machine is used. The proposed motor reduced weight about 5.8%, produced torque higher than about 8Nm for existing motor.
