This paper proposes several methods to analyze dynamic and static characteristics of HVDC inverter system. The characteristic analysis is essential of the controller and filter design of the HVDC inverter system. Dynamic characteristic can be analyzed with EMTP simulation and static characteristic can be obtained by solving newly proposed load flow equation which includes the filter and load characteristic. New simple per-phase-equivalent circuit is also proposed. In this circuit, HVDC inverter is considered as a current source depending on the on-off status of switch. Dynamic and static characteristic can be analyzed by the proposed per-phase-equivalent circuit. For the optimal filter design, various performance criteria are proposed. The performance index, based on the per-phase-equivalent circuit, is calculated. Voltage harmonics and filter power loss are selected as criteria. Optimization procedure is explained to find optimal passive filter parameters.

In this paper, we propose the prediction algorithm of radiation emission from the PCB in an enclosure with a rectangular aperture. PCB scanner is used to measure the near field, which is substituted with an equivalent electric dipole source. Green function and Fourier transform are utilized to represent the electromagnetic fields within and outside the enclosure, respectively. The radiation emission is estimated by using the mode matching technique and surface equivalent theorem. The theoretical results are compared with the measurement to check the accuracy of our analysis.

The rifling design problem has continuous-type shape variables and an integral number of riflings. In addition, it requires considerable time for analysis because its behavior should be described by a nonlinear finite element model (FEM). Therefore, this study presents an efficient design process for rifling based on a design of experiment (DOE) approach. First, Bose's orthogonal array is used to represent 25 runs for four design variables including three shape variables and one integer variable. Then, nonlinear FE analyses are performed. Next, to minimize the bullet resistance without affecting the bullet velocity and bullet rotational angle immediately before a bullet leaves the gun barrel, a what-if design is performed. In the proposed what-if design, a functional including the design objective and constraints is constructed and effect analysis is performed by using the functional. It is found that the new design obtained from the what-if design shows better results than the current one.

Electrical modeling of lithium-polymer battery is very important for electric energy supply system. In this paper, electric equivalent circuit of lithium-polymer battery is proposed to simulate its dynamic characteristics. Maccor 8500 charge/discharge system is used to obtain the experimental data of lithium-polymer battery. Model parameters are calculated by using Matlab. This paper defines a R-C model for charging/discharging of battery and polynomial functions are used for OCV (Open Circuit Voltage) modeling. The proposed model is simulated with PSiM and then compared the simulation results with the experimental results to verify the validity of the proposed model.

Reductive dechlorination of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and its toxicity change were predicted by the linear free energy relationship (LFER) model to assess the zero-valent iron (ZVI) and anaerobic dechlorinating bacteria (ADB) as electron donors in PCDDs dechlorination. Reductive dechlorination of PCDDs involves 256 reactions linking 76 congeners with highly variable toxicities, so is challenging to assess the overall effect of this process on the environmental impact of PCDD contamination. The Gibbs free energies of PCDDs in aqueous solution were updated to density functional theory (DFT) calculation level from thermodynamic results of literatures. All of dechlorination kinetics of PCDDs was evaluated from the linear correlation between the experimental dechlorination kinetics of PCDDs and the calculated thermodynamics of PCDDs. As a result, it was predicted that over 100 years would be taken for the complete dechlorination of octachlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (OCDD) to non-chlorinated compound (dibenzo-p-dioxin, DD), and the toxic equivalent quantity (TEQ) of PCDDs could increase to 10 times larger from initial TEQ with the dechlorination process. The results imply that the single reductive dechlorination using ZVI or ADB is not suitable for the treatment strategy of PCDDs contaminated soil, sediment and fly ash. This LFER approach is applicable for the prediction of dechlorination process for organohalogen compounds and for the assessment of electron donating system for treatment strategies.
