It is said that PV power generation systems have a long lifespan compared to other renewable energy sources and require little maintenance. However, there are cases where the performance expected during initial design is not achieved due to shading, temperature rise, mismatch, contamination/deterioration of PV modules, failure of inverter, leakage current, and arc generation. Therefore, in order to solve the problems of these systems, the power generation amount and operation status are investigated qualitatively, or the performance is comparatively analyzed based on the performance ratio (PR), which is the performance index of the solar power generation system. However, because it includes large losses, it is difficult to accurately determine whether there are any abnormalities such as performance degradation, failure, or defects in the PV power generation system using only the performance coefficient. In this paper, we studied a status diagnosis algorithm for shading, inverter failure, leakage, and arcing of PV modules to optimize the power generation of PV power generation systems according to changes in the surrounding environment. In addition, using the studied algorithm, we examined the results of an empirical test on condition diagnosis for each area and the resulting optimized operation of power generation.

Catenary (Overhead Contact Lines) and Pantograph are used to transmit electrical energy to electric railways. An Arc occurs by unstable contact between catenary and pantograph during electric railways operation, which causes malfunctioning or even an accident. Therefore, to prevent a arc or electric contact loss are required arc detection systems with catenary maintenance capability. This paper describes developing of catenary arc detection system using photo detector in order to detect arc incidence in a indirect way. This developed system can also achieve Video-recordings and environmental conditions such as wire voltage/current, pantograph height, speed, position of electric railways, and temperature/humidity. This system have been evaluated at the section that bounds for dongdaegu from seoul. From the experimental results, the occurrence of arc and intensity of arc are mainly effected by wire voltage/current, pantograph height and speed of electric railways.

As the spread of DC power distribution systems increases, the occurrence of failures and fire accidents are also increasing. In particular, the ESS fire accident, which is a component of the smart grid, and the fire accident of the solar power system, which is a direct current system, are caused by problems in the electrical connection between system components as the supply of new and renewable energy rapidly increases and old facilities increase. An arc that can cause a direct fire by releasing the induced light and heat has been pointed out as one of the causes of fire. Therefore, the problem of such an arc defect is that it is impossible to block an arc accident in advance with the existing overcurrent circuit breaker and earth leakage circuit breaker. In this paper, we intend to develop a test equipment that satisfies international standardization and to develop a DC arc generator to protect against failure and fire caused by arcing.

This study was to evaluate the effects of several light curing units on the microleakage of composite resin restorations in primary teeth. The types of curing units were traditional low intensity halogen light(Optilux 360), plasma arc light(Filpo) low heat plasma arc light(Aurys) and high intensity LED(Freelight 2). After preparing cavities on sound primary teeth, cavities were filled with composite resin(Z100) using the same resin bond agent(Scotchbond Multi-Purpose) and were cured with each curing light system. After storing each specimen in sterile water for 24 hours, thermal circulation was done 1,000 times followed by pigmentation using 2% methylene blue solution. Each specimen was sliced and the degree of pigmentation was graded. When microleakage is graded, the average of Aurys was 0.95 which was the lowest and Freelight 2(1.05), Filpo(1.25), Optilux 360(1.30) followed. But values were not shown statistically significant difference (P>0.05). The results suggest that the newly developed curing units which has advantage in children by decreasing discomfort and procedure time can increase the microleakage of the composite resin.

진공 플라즈마와 달리 개방된 공간에서 방전되는 대기압 플라즈마는 진공상태에서 수행되는 에칭, 증착 등의 복잡한 플라즈마 공정을 경제적이고 신속하게 수행할 수 있어, 최근 들어 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 이와 관련하여 He, Ar, $N_2$, $O_2$, Air 등의 여러 종류의 기체를 50 kHz 고전압에서 방전하여 대기 중에서 저온 플라즈마 공정이 가능한 아크젯 타입의 플라즈마 소스를 개발하였다. 개발된 플라즈마 소스에서는 입력전압, 기체유량, 노즐의 구조와 크기 등의 여러 운전변수에 따라 플라즈마의 방전특성이 변화되었다. 특히 본 연구에서는 아크젯의 플라즈마 발생부의 물질성분(SUS, Aluminum, Cupper)에 따른 플라즈마의 기체온도 및 전자여기 온도의 변화를 광방출분광법(OES)를 이용한 Synthetic spectrum method와 Boltzmann plot method을 통해 살펴보았다. 전압-전류 특성곡선, 시간분해 이미지 촬영법, 기체온도 측정법 등을 이용하여 발생된 플라즈마의 물리적인 특성을 분석하였다. 특히 물질의 성분에 따라 발생되는 플라즈마의 기체 및 전자여기 온도가 이차 전자 방출계수 및 물질의 전도도와의 상관관계가 있는지 연구가 진행 중이다.

Optoelectronic arc discharge sensor was used to detect arc discharge inside power distribution panel. Arc discharge is fatal to power system once it begins, thus preventive detection is necessary before power failure occurs. Optoelectronic detection method was used to avoid direct electrical contact to power apparatus inside power distribution panel. 180 degree detection angle and detection range far exceeding 6m, which was sufficient for monitoring purpose, was achieved using the photodiode having $7.5mm^2$ of active surface area and flash source with $0.4cal/cm^2$ energy density, which is equivalent to 1.9J with $2.16cm^2$ emitting area. The response speed of arc discharge sensor was measured to be below 1 msec. The above optoelectronic arc discharge sensor was measured to be sensitive enough to detect 0.94 pC charge.

The degree of conversion of cross-linked polymer has great importance in determining the physical and mechanical properties, and biocompatibility. Therefore, this study examined the comparison of light-cured composite resin polymerization of various light-curing systems composed of plasma arc, halogen, LED curing units and pluse-delay curing with FTIR. From this experiment, The following results were obtained : 1. From FTIR, the degree of conversion(DC) of composite resin was 34.52-49.31%, DC of composite resin used in Flipo was $39.36{\pm}1.22%$, CrediII $45.64{\pm}1.34%$, XL3000 $43.48{\pm}1.34%$, VIP(mode 4) $44.31{\pm}0.72%$, LUXOMAX $49.31{\pm}2.37%$, Elipar Freelight $44.51{\pm}0.62%$ and $34.52{\pm}0.85%$ in pulse-delay curing. 2. The degree of conversion of composite resin in each light-curing unit was highest DC of the LUXOMAX system, lowest DC of the pulse-delay curing. 3. Compared with other curing system, Flipo, LUXOMAX, and pulse-delay curing were significant difference(p<0.05). 4. In same curing method group, the differences of each light-curing unit were no significace in halogen(conventional) curing method(p>0.05), but significance in plasma arc curing and LED curing method(p<0.05).

최근 들어 디지털 제품의 급증으로 인해 직류를 사용하는 부하가 증가하고, 태양광, 풍력발전 등의 직류를 생산하는 신재생에너지원의 발달로 인하여 부하에 직류를 직접 공급 할 수 있게 되었다. 직류배전은 가전기기 내부의 전력 변환단계를 줄임으로써 교류배전에 비해 에너지 변환 효율을 높일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 하지만 직류는 교류와 다르게 고장 전류의 차단이 어렵다. 본 논문은 유도성 부하에서 효과적인 직류차단을 위한 자기소호회로와 아크전압 억제회로를 제안하고 실험을 통하여 그 효과를 검증하였다.
