Emission gas regulations and constantly increasing fuel costs call for the worldwide use of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient machines in industry. To meet these requirements, a hybrid excavator prototype has been developed that incorporates an electric swing motor, engine assist motor, and ultra-capacitor module into a conventional hydraulic excavator of the 22-ton class. This paper mainly describes a few techniques to optimize its energy efficiency. These include 1) controlling the engine speed in proportion to the load torque, 2) controlling the pump displacement when driving the electric swing system, 3) managing the ultra-capacitor voltage to minimize the electrical energy loss, and 4) reducing the cooling fan speed to improve the energy efficiency of the system.

A Helmholtz resonator is applied to control high frequency combustion instability in liquid rocket engine. Damping characteristics of the Helmholtz resonator are investigated by the flow characteristic and its design. To simulate combustion instability, resonance in a test section(with fixed volume) is made by a pressure pulsator, and then damping characteristics are investigated. Its orifice length and diameter are selected as the design parameters and flow rates are varied to reveal the effect on damping characteristics. The experimental results show that a Helmholtz resonator is also working with flows. When length and diameter of an orifice are small, the tuning frequency increases as the flow velocity increases.

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) devices have received considerable attention in recent years as a means to either improve the propulsive characteristics of hypersonic cruise missiles or as a means to generate power at low cost in drag and weight aboard scramjet powered vehicles. Based on more complete physical models than previously used, it is here argued that the use of MHD is not valuable in improving the performance of hypersonic propulsion systems through prevention of boundary layer separation or power bypass. This is due to the inevitable high amount of Joule heating accompanying MHD flow control having considerable undesired adverse effects on the engine performance. On the other hand, preliminary estimates indicate that MHD is likely to succeed in generating high amounts of power with little additional drag to feed megawatt-class energy weapons on-board scramjet engines.

배기가스의 규제가 전 세계적으로 강화되고 있는 가운데, 경유사용 디젤기관은 가솔린기관 보다 열효율이 높고 온실가스인 $CO_2$ 배출량이 적은 장점이 있으나, PM(입자상 물질)과 NO$_{x}$가 다량 배출되는 단점이 있다. 이들의 저감책으로서, 엔진개량, 연료분사장치의 고압화와 전자제어화, 배기 후처리기술의 적용 등 디젤기관의 고효율성을 손상시키지 않으면서, 배기공해를 대폭 저감하려는 연구가 활발히 추진되고 있으며, 한편으로는 디젤기관의 대체연료에 대한 연구가 활발히 추진되고 있다.(중략)

Fuzzy theory has been used effectively to control the nonlinear system since Mamdani successively adopted fuzzy theory in the steam-engine control problem in 1973. Truckbacker-upper control problem originally proposed by Nguyen and Widrow become a standard highly nonlinear control problem. In this paper, we designed adaptive fuzzy membership functions for speed control as well as steering control. In other words, an adaptive fuzzy control system for truck backer-upper problem useful for practical adaptation is proposed. Experimental results by simulations prove the effectiveness of the proposed system.

The propulsion control device of an electric railway vehicle is a key main component corresponding to an engine of an automobile, and a device for controlling this is a device called a GDU (Gate Drive Unit). Also, when the frequency of failure of the propulsion control system was analyzed, the nonconformity ratio of GDU was the highest. GDU was not able to access core technologies due to the introduction of foreign products, and there were general problems with overall maintenance activities due to discontinuation of GDU of the manufacturer. The GDU has reached the end of its life with 23 to 14 years of long-term use.In order to solve these problems, this study was designed to identify the proper life span by analyzing compatible GDU's acquisition and failure, and to improve the existing system of maintenance focusing on health inspection. Maintenance of the components with a short life span compared to the entire service life is essential. Most foreign parts introduced at the beginning of the construction are not replaced due to technical problems or long-term operation. However, due to the characteristics of railway vehicles with a long life span of more than 25 years, it is necessary to maintain them for a long period of time. The study should be more concrete and empirical. The replacement type GDU of capacitors was able to easily measure the life of the capacitance by removing the capacitor modules, measure the life span of each unit test, and accurately perform preventive maintenance of the capacitor.

대형 상용차량을 위한 냉난방장치는 이동 또는 정차 중에도 일정 온도를 유지 시켜야한다. 종전의 상용차량의 냉동시스템은 엔진과 연계하여 압축기를 구동하거나 엔진과 연계된 발전기의 전력을 이용하여 온도를 유지하였다. 이러한 방식은 제어가 용이하지 않고 효율성이 낮은 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 개선하고자 대형 상용차량이 정차중인 무시동 기간에도 일정 온도를 유지 할 수 있도록 직렬 L-C 공진을 이용한 2.5kW급 DC-DC 컨버터를 제안 하였다.

본 논문에서는 수퍼캐패시터(Supercapacitor 이하 수퍼�L)를 이용하여 엔진 발전기를 전원으로 하는 권상부하 시스템의 부하전력 분배와 회생에너지의 저장 기법을 제안한다. 대표적인 권상부하 시스템인 크레인의 경우, 크게 두가지 운전모드로 동작한다. 첫번째 운전모드는 부하를 들어올리는 동작(Hoist-Up)으로서 가속 종료시점에서 최대전력을 소모한다. 두번째 운전모드는 부하를 내리는 동작(Hoist-Down)으로서 이때 희생되는 전력은 일반적으로 저항을 통하여 소모된다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 저장장치의 하나인 수퍼�L을 이용하여 Hoist-Down 운전에서 희생되는 에너지를 저장하고 Hoist-Up 운전에서 필요한 전력을 보조하도록 하였다. 수퍼�L의 충방전을 위하여 상용 3상 인버터와 동일한 구조를 가지는 DC-DC 컨버터를 제안하였다. 또한 발전기와 수퍼캐패시터의 Load Sharing을 최적화하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법을 이용하면 디젤엔진 발전기의 크기를 대폭 줄일 수 있고 따라서 연비의 개선, 소음 및 공해의 감소를 기대할 수 있다. 제안한 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 시뮬레이션과 실험을 수행하였다.

The range extender vehicle runs on a mechanism that allows the small power generation engine to start in the most efficient specific operating range to charge the battery and extend the mileage. In this study, we developed a step motor type intake air supply system that replaces existing throttle body system to develop a simple low cost control logic system. The system was applied to the existing base engine, and in order to improve the performance by increasing the amount of intake air, the effect of changing the length of the intake and exhaust manifold was experimentally examined. As a result, the Type B intake air control actuator operated by one step motor showed higher performance than the Type A in all the operation region, but the performance was lower than that of the base engine due to the increase of flow resistance. To improve this, it was confirmed that the engine performance was improved at both speeds of 2200rpm and 4300rpm when the 140mm adapter was installed in the intake manifold and when the newly designed 70mm exhaust manifold was applied. Through this process, high - precision operation control was realized by connecting the generator load to the optimized engine for the range extender electric vehicle. Experimental results showed that the speed change rate was within ${\pm}2.5%$ at 2200rpm in 1st stage and 4300rpm in 2nd stage and the speed follow-up result of 610 rpm/s was obtained when the speed was increased from 2200rpm to 4300rpm.
