본 논문은 패시브 셀 밸런싱과 액티브 셀 밸런싱의 에너지 손실 비교에 관한 연구내용이다. 패시브 셀 밸런싱은 저항을 이용하여 과충전된 셀의 에너지를 소모하는 방식이며 액티브 셀 밸런싱은 SSC(Single Switched Capacitor) 구조를 이용하여 높은 에너지 셀의 에너지를 낮은 에너지 상태의 셀로 전달하는 방식이다. 높은 셀과 낮은 셀의 SOC(State Of Charge)의 차이가 5% (0.085 V)일 때 ∆SOC = 3% (∆V = 0.051 V)로 줄이기 위해 패시브 셀 밸런싱과 액티브 셀 밸런싱을 하여 두 셀 밸런싱의 에너지 손실 차이를 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 비교한다.

This paper studies the OF-LED(Optical Fiber-LED) illuminated display board system for energy saving. The OF-LED illuminated display board system has PV module, batteries, charge 8t discharge system and dynamic full color display controller. Both maximum power point tracker (MPPT) and constant current & constant voltage controls (CCVC) are used to govern the charging system. This system. improves the charging efficiency of battery. The system is compact and operates only by PV except the rainy days when the sun is unfavorable. in the system display control and charging-discharging control by on-chip microprocessor are simultaneously carried out. To verify the unposed system, me simulation and experiment results show the operating characteristics with a laboratory prototype.

Portable embedded systems have recently become smaller in size and offer a variety of junctions for users. These systems require high performance processors to handle the many functions and also a small battery to fit inside the system. However, due to its size, the battery life has become a major issue. It is important to have both efficient power design and management for each function, while optimizing processor voltage and clock frequency in order to extend the battery life of the system. In this paper, we calculated the efficiency of power in optimizing power rail. This system has two microprocessors. One is used to play music and movie files while the other is for DMB. In order to reduce power consumption, the DMB microprocessor is turned of while music or videos are played. Lastly, DVFS is applied to the processor in the system to reduce power consumption. Experimental results of the implemented system have resulted in reduced power consumption.

Sensors have a function to gather environment-related information operating by small-size battery in sensor networks. The issue related with energy is still an important in spite of the recent advancements in micro-electro-mechanical-system(MEMS) related techology. Generally it is assumed that replacement or rechargement of battery power in sensor is not feasible and a message send operation may spend at least 1000 times battery than a local operation. Thus, there have been several kinds of research efforts to lessen the number of unnecessary messages by maintaining the information of the other neighboring(or all) sensors. In this paper, we propose an index structure based on parent-children relationship to the purpose. Namely, parent node gathers the set of location information and MBA per child. It's named PH and may allow to process the range query with higher accurate and small size information. Through extensive experiments, we show that our index structure has better energy consumption.

This study aimed to develop a modular smart clothing system for heart rate monitoring that reduces the inconvenience caused by battery charging and the large size of measurement devices. The heart rate monitoring system was modularized into a temporary device and a continuous device to enable heart rate monitoring depending on the requirement. The temporary device with near-field communication (NFC) and heart rate sensors was developed as a clothing attachment type that enables heart rate monitoring via smart phone tagging when required. The continuous device is based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication and batteries and was developed to enable continuous heart rate measurement via a direct connection to the temporary device. Furthermore, the temporary device was configured to connect with a textile electrode made of a silver-based knitted fabric designed to be located below the pectoralis major muscle for heart rate measurement. Considering the user-experience factors, key functions, and the ease of use, we developed an application to automatically log through smart phone tagging to improve usability. To evaluate the accuracy of the heart rate measurement, we recorded the heart rate of 10 healthy male subjects with a modular smart clothing system and compared the results with the heart rate values measured by the Polar RS800. Consequently, the average heart rate value measured by the temporary system was 85.37, while that measured by the reference device was 87.03, corresponding to an accuracy of 96.73%. No significant difference was found in comparison with the reference device (T value = -1.892, p = .091). Similarly, the average heart rate measured by the continuous system was 86.00, while that measured by the reference device was 86.97, corresponding to an accuracy of 97.16%. No significant difference was found in terms of the heart rate value between the two signals (T value = 1.089, p = .304). The significance of this study is to develop and validate a modular clothing system that can measure heart rates according to the purpose of the user. The developed modular smart clothing system for heart rate monitoring enables dual product planning by reducing the price increase due to unnecessary functions.
