플라즈마를 제어하기 위해서는 플라즈마의 온도, 밀도, 에너지 분포등과 같은 플라즈마의 특성을 정확히 측정할 수 있어야한다. 핵융합발전에서는 플라즈마를 발생하기 위하여 플라즈마의 온도, 밀도 등 각종 변수들을 시공간적으로 계측, 분석할 수 있는 진달설비를 사용하고 있으며, 정확한 플라즈마 제어와 측정을 위한 새로운 진단기술을 개발하고 있다. 그리고 중요한 변수중에 하나인 플라즈마 이온온도를 측정하기 위해 중성입자 검출법이 잘 알려져 있다. 이 실험은 수소 중성입자가 토카막 내부의 플라즈마 이온과 충돌하면서 생성된 고속 중성입자의 에너지를 분석하는 실험이다. 본 연구의 실험방법은 수소 중성입자를 이온빔 장치에서 이온화 시킨 후 자체 제작한 가속기를 통하여 가속시켜 에너지 특성을 분석을 하는 것이다. 본 연구의 실험장치로 에너지 교정용 100 keV 이온빔 소스를 제작 하였고 이온빔 장치 내부에 수소기체를 주입하고 기체방전을 일으켜 플라즈마를 발생시켰다. 이온빔 외부에는 팬을 설치하고 전도성이 강한 물 대신 전도성이 약한 오일을 사용하여 냉각 하였다. 이온빔 장치와 결합될 이온 가속장치는 지름 300 mm, 두께 2 mm의 원형 구리판을 여러층으로 쌓아 전극으로 제작하였고 전극과 전극 사이에서 코로나 방전과 스파크를 방지하기 위해 전극 둘레에 코로나링을 설치 하였다. 또한 전극 사이마다 1G${\Omega}$의 저항을 설치한 후 고전압을 생성하여 이온 가속 효율을 증대시켰다. 진공시스템으로는 Alcatel사의 CFF100 터보분자 펌프와 우성진공사의 MVP24 진공로타리펌프를 결합하여 사용하였으며, 진공도측정은 Alcatel사의 ACS1000 장치를 사용하였다. 고진공후 고속 중성입자의 이온화와 에너지 측정을 위한 전하교환기를 설치하였다. 전하교환기로는 진공시스템을 별도로 설치하고 비용이 비교적 많이 드는 기체형 전하교환기 대신 소형화가 가능하고 유지보수가 좋은 고체형 전하교환기 제작하여 실험 하였다. 전하교환기에서 이온화된 고속 중성입자가 전기장이나 자장에 영향을 받았을때 에너지분포를 디텍터를 통해 측정하였다. 즉, 이온화된 중성입자의 에너지가 실리콘 다이오드를 통해 전압 펄스 신호로 변환되고 이차 증폭기를 통해 전압 펄스 신호들이 증폭한다. 에너지 측정을 위한 디텍터는 소형화가 가능하고 비용이 비교적 적게 드는 실리콘 다이오드를 설치하였다. 본 연구결과 중성입자 에너지 분석 장치가 실제 핵융합 장치의 플라즈마 이온온도와 특성 측정에 적용할 수 있으며, 앞으로 개발될 여러 형태의 응용 플라즈마 발생장치의 플라즈마 진단에 이용될 것으로 기대한다.

Due to the increase in capacity of auxiliary machinery in power plant, the importance of energy saving has been greatly emphasized. If the speed of fans or pumps is controlled in accordance with the variation of load, large electric energy can be saved. Large capacity inverter, 2MVA GTO inverter, has been developed by operating two of 1MVA unit inverters in parallel. The parallel operation of the unit inverter is accomplished through two output transformers of which the secondary windings are connected in series. The system is composed of one control cubicle, one rectifier cubicle and 2 unit inverter cubicles. This inverter system was applied to the sea water lift pump(SLP) driven by a 6.6KV 1500KW induction motor in Seo-Inchon power plant to save the electric energy. The parallel operation of inverters by 180 degrees apart in switching frequency helps to reduce the harmonic components.

The pumps of electro-hydrostatic actuators operate most frequently in boundary lubrication speed range, as they compensate for the position control errors as a control element. When conventional swash plate type piston pumps are applied to electro-hydrostatic actuators, the frictional power losses as well as the wear rate of sliding components, such as piston shoes can increase drastically under the boundary friction condition. In this paper, the power losses of the piston shoes were investigated which were engendered by a frictional solid-to-solid contact and leakage flow rate of their hydrostatic bearing. In order to reduce them, DLC-coating was applied to the swash plate and the ball joint of pistons along with its effects were demonstrated. In addition, it was also shown that the wear rate of the piston shoes could be markedly reduced using the DLC-coated swash plate.

In this study, in order to improve the disadvantages of the environmental error of the infusion set that performs infusion therapy in the existing clinical practice and to maximize the user's convenience by miniaturizing the existing infusion pump system, the structure of the muscle pump of the human vein was imitated. As a double check valve method, a method for preventing the backflow of fluid and discharging a constant fluid in one direction by external pressure was proposed. The proposed bio-mimic muscle pump uses a check valve that controls the flow of fluid in one direction and a silicone tube with elasticity, and a chamber is constructed. A peristaltic pump for applying intermittent pressure to the tube chamber was constructed using a multi-cam structure roller. In order to verify the performance of the proposed pump, optimization was performed while changing the number of multi-cam rollers and adjusting the speed of the roller driving motor, and the reproducibility of the instantaneous discharge amount and the continuous discharge amount of the pump was compared and tested. The performance of the muscle pump proposed in this study was verified through experiments that it can inject up to 1L of fluid within 12 hours, and that it is possible to inject the fluid with an accuracy of ±0.1ml. Real-time monitoring of the fluid injection volume through the bio-mimic muscle pump proposed in this study not only increases the convenience of the administrator, but also provides a precise fluid administration environment to more patients at a low cost, and additionally applies bubble detection and occlusion detection technology If so, it is believed that a safer medical environment can be provided to patients.

In the present study, a BLDC motor for a pump in which a neodymium PM is replaced with a Ferrite PM has been developed in preparation for the cost increase and to ensure the stability of the resource supply. One of the currently used motors for pumps is a BLDC motor having an interior PM wherein a rare-earth PM is adopted. However, a BLDC motor for a pump is designed to have large airgap because of the use of a waterproof insulator according to its structural characteristics, and therefore, a SPM structure is suitable. Hence, an SPM BLDC motor in which a Ferrite PM is used is designed. Nevertheless, the use of Ferrite instead of rare-earth materials causes a deterioration in the performance of the electric motor, such as a decrease in the BEMF and the maximum power of the motor and the irreversible demagnetization of the PM. In order to mitigate such disadvantages, an optimized design of the BLDC motor is developed by changing each design parameter and by improving the electromagnetism structure.

Power interruption is a phenomenon that no voltage is displayed over a short time or long time. Most devices will not operate normally when the supply voltage is low or does not exist. However, the device can also be operated with a different power which is ensured by a separate power generation. Recently, power interruption has been reduced gradually by the improvement of electricity quality, its duration also has been very short. Induction motors are widely used for the pumping in the water and sewage facilities and power plant applications. The pump is used as a machine for moving the fluid in the high place from a low location. So pump equipment always have a potential energy. If a momentary interruption occurs, the potential energy of the pump is reversed as that of water turbine and motor is operated as generator. This study is an analysis for the voltage variation, current, torque and power flow by the generating operation of the induction motor before and after the change of momentary interruption.

Micropump is very useful component in micro/nano fluidics and bioMEMS applications. Using the flexural vibration mode of PZT bar, a piezopump is successfully made. The PZT bar is polarized with thickness direction. The proposed structure for the piezo-pump consists of an input and an output port, piezoelectric ceramic actuator, actuator support, diaphragm. The traveling flexural wave along the bar is obtained by dividing two standing waves which are temporally and spatially phase shifted by 90 degrees from each other. Fluid is drawn into a forming chamber, eventually the forming chamber closes trapping the fluid therein. The finite elements analysis on the proposed pump model is carried out to verify its operation principle and design by the commercial FEM software. Components of piezopump were made, assembled, and tested to validate the concepts of the proposed pump and confirm the simulation results. The performance of the proposed piezopump the highest pressure level of 83.4kHz.

Existence of physical moving parts (ex. check valve) produces several problems (mechanical abrasion, deterioration of reliability, limited temperature performances etc.) in driving pumps. To overcome such problems, we proposed a valveless piezoelectric micro-pump which has new type volume transferring mechanism. The proposed micro-pump has a double faced disk type vibrator that can generate peristaltic motion formed by traveling wave in each surface of a disk. This type of micro-pump is able to apply to a fluid supply system that provides two different kinds of fluid simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a simple and novel design of piezoelectric micro-pump that is peristaltically by piezoelectric actuators and allows the removal of the need for valves of other physically moving parts. The finite elements analysis on the proposed pump model was carried out to verify its operation principle using the commercial analysis software.

Using superconducting magnetic flux pump, thick power leads for a superconducting magnet could be replaced with thin string leads for the excitation magnet to the superconducting flux pump. We have developed a new type flux pump with high voltage output to shorten the charge and discharge time of the load magnet. The test of four stacked disks as the excither for the load magnet has been carried out. This disk type flux pump yielded 70 mV of voltage across its terminal and 10 A of current through 85 mH load magnet which was the field winding of 20 kVA class fully superconducting generator within 12 seconds. This output voltage of the new superconducting flux pump is about 10 times larger than that of the previous work Moreover since it is easy to stack the disks for the superconduction flux pump, the high voltage exciter for the 1H class superconducting magnet would be expected to be made easily.
