This paper presents the development of a tacho generator that is applicable to a DC motor for anti-aircraft weapon systems. In general, devices such as tacho generators and resolvers are used as feedback devices for controlling DC motors. A tacho generator with a wide operating temperature range was developed, which has robust characteristics against shock loads and vibrations according to the operational characteristics of anti-aircraft weapon systems. The target specifications were set based on the requirements of the tacho generator currently in operation. A rotor coupled to the shaft of the motor and a stator coupled to the housing of the motor were then designed and manufactured. The inductance was 31.0 mH, the terminal resistance was 147.7 ohms, and the rotational measurement factor was satisfactory under both normal operation and operating conditions after the maximum speed for the standard of 9.500 ± 0.475 V/krpm. In addition, the environmental suitability of the applied equipment was confirmed through the rate of change in unit temperature, and it was found that the temperature characteristics were all within 0.03 %/℃.

Pyroprocessing has been developed for the purpose of resolving the current spent nuclear fuel management issue and enhancing the recycle of valuable resources. Pyroprocessing has been developed with the dry technologies which are performed under high temperature conditions excluding any aqueous processes. Pyro-processes which are based on the electrochemical principles require pretreatment processes and a voloxidation process is considered as a pretreatment step for an electrolytic reduction process. Various kinds of gas conditions are applicable to the voloxidation process and the understanding of Cs behavior during the process is of importance for the analyses of waste characteristics and heat load on the overall pyroprocessing. In this study, the changes of chemical compounds with the gas conditions were calculated by analyzing gas-solid reaction behavior based on the chemical equilibria on a Cs-Te-O system. $Cs_2TeO_3$ and $Cs_2TeO_4$ were selected after a Tpp diagram analysis and it was confirmed that they are relatively stable under oxidizing atmospheres while it was shown that Cs and Te would be removed by volatilization under reducing atmosphere at a high temperature. This work provided basic data for predicting Cs behavior during the voloxidation process at which compounds are chemically distributed as the first stage in the pyroprocessing and it is expected that the results would be used for setting up material balances and related purposes.

Recently, research on renewable energy technologies has come into the spotlight due to rising concerns over the depletion of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. Demand for portable electronic and wearable devices is increasing, and electronic devices are becoming smaller. Energy harvesting is a technology for overcoming limitations such as battery size and usage time. In this paper, the V-I characteristic curve and internal resistance of thermal electric devices were analyzed, and MPPT control methods were compared. The Perturbation and Observation (P&O) control method is economically inefficient because two sensors are required to measure the voltage and current of a Thermoelectric Generator(TEG). Therefore, this paper proposes a new MPPT control method that tracks MPP using only one sensor for the regulation of the output voltage. The proposed MPPT control method uses the relationship between the output voltage of the load and the duty ratio. Control is done by periodically sampling the output voltage of the DC-DC converter to increase or decrease the duty ratio to find the optimal duty ratio and maintain the MPP. A DC-DC converter was designed using a cascaded boost-buck converter, which has a two-switch topology. The proposed MPPT control method was verified by simulations using PSIM, and the results show that a voltage, current, and power of V=4.2 V, I=2.5 A, and P=10.5 W were obtained at the MPP from the V-I characteristic curve of the TEG.

Wild yeasts were isolated from domestic non-sterilized Makgeolli and their fermentation characteristics were analyzed to select the best fermentation seed culture. A total of 65 yeast strains isolated yeasts from non-sterilized Makgeolli and Nuruk. In order to select fermentable strains, hydrogen sulfide, $CO_2$ production ability, alcohol tolerance and aroma component production ability were analyzed. To screen the aromatic strains of isolates, media containing cerulenin, 5,5,5-trifluor-DL-leucine (TFL) and API ZYM kit were used. There were 36 strains resistance to cerulenin and all strains produced esterase and demonstrated tolerance against TFL. Hydrogen sulfide, which could degrade the quality of the fermented beverage, was not produced in 34 yeast. The correlation between alcohol tolerance of yeast and carbon dioxide production was analyzed by principal component analysis. YM22, YM31, YM32 and YM37 produced a total of 0.14-0.18 g/72 h of $CO_2$ indicating high fermentability. Alcohol tolerance was measured by alcohol concentration. YM32, YM37 yeast had 20% alcohol tolerance. As a result, alcohol and flavor characteristics of wild yeast isolated from non-sterilized Makgeolli were analyzed and it was confirmed that yeast was suitable for the production of alcohol.

KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) 장치는 차세대 에너지원 중의 하나인 핵융합로를 위한 과학기술 기반을 마련하기 위해 개발된 중형급 토카막 실험장치로서 토카막 운전 영역의 확장과 안정성 확보, 정상상태 운전 도달을 위한 방법 연구, 최적화된 플라즈마 상태와 연속 운전 실현 등을 주요 목표로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 핵융합 반응에 의한 점화조건과 가까운 상태로 플라즈마를 가열해주어야 하며, 토카막 장치의 저항가열 이외에도 외부에서 추가 가열이 반드시 필요하다. 중성 입자빔 입사 장치는 현재 토카막에서 사용되고 있는 가열장치 중 가장 신뢰성있는 추가 가열 장치라 할 수 있으며 한국 원자력연구원에서는 1997년부터 KSTAR 토카막 실험 장치에 사용될 중성 입자빔 입사 장치를 개발해왔었다. 중성빔 입사 장치는 크게 이온원, 진공함, 열량계, 진공 펌프, 중성화 장치, 이온덤프와 전자석으로 이루어져 있으며, 이중 이온원은 중성빔의 성능을 좌우하는 핵심적인 장치라 할 수 있다. 최근 한국원자력연구원에서는 2 MW 중성 입자빔 입사장치용 이온원 개발을 완료하여 KSTAR 토카막 장치에 설치하였으며, 2013년 현재 KSTAR에는 총 두 개의 이온원이 장착되어 최대 약 3 MW 이상의 중수소 중성 입자빔을 입사하여 KSTAR 토카막 실험의 H-mode 달성과 운전 시나리오 연구에 많은 기여를 하고 있다. 한국원자력연구원에서 최초로 개발된 이온원은 미국 TFTR 장치에서 사용되었던 US LPIS (Long Pulse Ion Source)를 기본으로 하여 국내 개발을 수행하였다. 이 온원은 크게 플라즈마를 발생시키는 플라즈마 발생부와 발생된 이온을 인출 및 가속시키는 가속부로 구성되는데, 개발과정에서 가장 먼저 KSTAR의 장주기 운전에 적합하도록 플라즈마 방전부와 가속부의 냉각회로를 요구되는 열부하에 맞게 설계 수정하였다. 그 후 플라즈마 방전부는 방전 시간과 안정성, 플라즈마 밀도의 균일도, 정격 운전, 방전 효율 등을 고려하여 수정 보완하며 개발을 진행하여왔다. 가속부의 경우 국내 제작기술의 한계를 극복하기 위해 빔 인출그리드를 TFTR의 US LPIS 모델의 슬릿형 그리드 타입에서 원형 인출구 타입으로 변경하였으며, 이후 가속 전극의 고전압 내전력 문제, 빔 인출 전류와 전력, 인출 빔의 광학적 질(quality), 빔 인출 시간 동안의 안정성 등을 위해 그리드의 크기와 간격, 모양 등을 변경하여 개발을 수 행하여 왔다. 이 논문은 한국원자력연구원에서 개발이 진행되어 왔던 이온원들을 시간적으로 되짚어 보면서 현재까지의 성과와 문제점, 그리고 앞으로의 개발 방향에 대해 논의하고자 한다.

The frequency dependence of the pyroelectric characteristics of $LiTaO_3$ have been investigated by using the dynamic method. In the frequency range between 2 and 1000 Hz, they are measured in both the regimes of pyroelectric current ($R_L=1M{\Omega}$) and pyrelectric voltage ($R_L=17.3G{\Omega}$), which can be selected by adjusting the value of the load resistance. Pyroelectric coefficient depending on the voltage response in the regime of pyroelectric current shows the maximum value of $1.56{\times}10^{-8}C/cm^2{\cdot}K$ at 40 Hz. The maximum values of figures of merits for the voltage response and for the detectivity are measured as $10.8{\times}10^{-11}C{\cdot}cm/J$ and $13{\times}10^{-7}C{\cdot}cm/J$, respectively. The voltage responsivity depending on the voltage response in the regime of pyroelectrci voltage shows the maximum value of 488 V/W at 2 Hz. Noise equivalent power and detectivity shows the minimum value of $3.95{\times}10^{-10}W/{\sqrt}Hz$ and maximum value of $5.6{\times}10^8cm{\cdot}{\sqrt}Hz/W$ at 40 Hz, respectively.

This paper presents speed control of an electric motorcycle using a fuzzy controller. The electric motorcycle required to meet not only fast throttle response but also stability, when it is on a cruise. However, a 1.5KW (50cc) electric motorcycles selling in the current market are difficult to cruise under the following conditions which are occupant's weight, load weight, wind resistance and road conditions (dirt roads, asphalt road). Because of these reasons, the rapid speed changing occurs in uphill and downhill road. To solve these problems, The input value for Improved fuzzy controller use the speed error and error variance. The output value for improved fuzzy controller uses Q-axis of the motor controlled variable. The D-axis of the motor output for improved fuzzy control uses D-axis controlled variable in proportional to Q-axis controlled variable. Improved fuzzy controller drives the electric motorcycle equipped with IPMSM. The control subject used in this paper is a 1.5KW electric motorcycle equipped with improved fuzzy controller that was used to control the motor speed. To control IPMSM Type of motor torque, D, Q-axis current controller was used. The Fuzzy controller using the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by experimental hardware simulator.

This paper proposes an approach to predict the reliability of high temperature heaters by identifying their primary failure modes and mechanisms in the field. Test specimens were designed to have the equivalent stress conditions with the high temperature heaters in the field in order to examine the effect of stress conditions on the solder joint failures. There failures often result from cracking due to intermetallic compound (IMC) or void formation within a solder joint. Aging tests have been performed by exposing the test specimens to a temperature of $170^{\circ}C$ in order to reproduce solder joint failures in the field. During the test, changes in IMC formation were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on the cross-sections of the test specimens, while changes in void formation were monitored both by resistance spectroscopy and by micro-computed tomography (microCT), alternately. The test results demonstrated the void volume within the solder increased as the time at the high temperature increased. Also, the phase shift of high frequency resistance was found to have high correlation with the void volume. These results implied the failure of high temperature heaters can be non-destructively predicted based on the correlation.
