In this study, autogenous crack healing and artificial crack healing using electrochemical electro deposition method were conducted to compare in the aspects of corrosion monitoring. Furthermore, the analysis of impressed voltage characteristics, galvanic current and linear polarization resistance comparison, and photo image processing technique were performed for quantitative comparisons of healing ratio. As a result, it was found that, in view of impressed voltage of artificial crack healing, the measured voltage was increased as time goes by. From the galvanic test results of artificial crack healing, the current vs. potential distribution value were formed widely in comparison with autogenous crack healing. In this point, it was shown that artificial crack healing has more eleatic resistance capacity than autogenous crack healing technique. Finally, it was found that artificial crack healing was 1.63 times higher than autogenous healing in view of crack healing ratio.

Stability of a cathode material was determined by Tafel plot in 1 M LiOH solution. The stabilized $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$ (x=0.05~0.1) electrode resulted in overpotential of 0.13~0.15 mV at 100 mA. This overpotential was 0.05 mV lower than that of the spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$ electrode. Conductivity test at various potentials showed that the conductivity of $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$ was higher than that of the spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$ and the bulk resistance of $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$ due to the dissolution of $Mn^{2+}$ was lowered.

In this study, the output 380V direct current DC-DC converter for low-voltage direct current(LVDC) distribution was designed in three types, and the voltage and current characteristics of the three types of DC-DC converter were compared and analyzed through simulation. When the converter was configured using a parallel structure with the power metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor and two current suppression insulated-gate bipolar transistors(IGBTs), the time when the output voltage was stabilized at DC 380V was relatively short with 9ms and the range of output current changes was also between 44.8A and 50.2A, indicating that the width of change was much smaller and the effect of current suppression was greater compared to when IGBT was not applied(68~83A). These results suggest that the proposed DC-DC converter for LVDC distribution is likely to be applied to smart grid construction.

Formation process through charge/discharge operation is needed in manufacturing Li-ion battery. In the process battery is discharged by a load resistor of discharger. Here, energy losses happen. Therefore, in this paper, the efficient energy operation of battery is studied in the charge/discharge system based on DC ${\mu}-Grid$. A result of computer simulation shows that if in the charge/discharge system based on DC ${\mu}-Grid$, the number of discharge batteries in comparison with three charge battery sets exceeds 133%, voltage fluctuation that occurs while the grid voltage stabilizes, which makes the system fatal. Therefore, it was demonstrated that a remarkable energy saving effect could be achieved when the number of discharge battery set is maintained to be 133% in comparison with three charge battery sets.

We propose a novel bistable nematic liquid crystal cell, which has a dual-frequency liquid crystal material and pixel-isolating polymer wall formed by an anisotropic phase separation of a mixture of liquid crystals and UV-curable pre-polymers. The proposed cell has two stable states of left- and right-handed ${\pi}$-twist. The switching between the two states is achieved by using a sequential waveform of low and high frequencies. A transmissive bistable liquid crystal display is designed, which achieves high contrast ratio by using the proposed cell and optical films.

This paper resents a control approach for designing a fuzzy-PI controller for a synchronous generator excitation and SVC system A combination of thyristor-controlled reactors and fixed capacitors (TCR-FC) type SVC is recognized as having the must fiexible control and high speed response, which has been widely utilized in power systems, is considered and designed to improve the response of a synchronous generator, as well as controlling the system voltage A Fuzzy-PI controller for SVC system was proposed in this paper. The PI gain parameters of the proposed Fuzzy-PI controller which is a special type of PI ones are self-tuned by fuzzy inference technique. It is natural that the fuzzy inference technique should be barred on humans intuitions and empirical knowledge. Nonetheless, the conventional ones were not so. Therefore, In this paper, the fuzzy inference technique of PI gains using MMGM(Min Max Gravity Method) which is very similar to humans inference procedures, was presented and allied to the SVC system. The system dynamic responses are examined after applying all small disturbance condition.

In order to maintain customer voltages within allowable limit($220{\pm}13V$) as much as possible, tap operation strategy of SVR(Step Voltage Regulator) installed in distribution system is very important, considering the scheduled delay time(30 sec) of SVR. However, the compensation of BESS(Battery Energy Storage System) during the delay time of SVR is being required because the customer voltages in distribution system interconnected with PV(Photovoltaic) system have a difficultly to be kept within allowable limit. Therefore, this paper presents the optimal voltage stabilization method in distribution system by using coordination operation algorithm between BESS and SVR. It is confirmed that customer voltage in distribution system can be maintained within allowable limit($220{\pm}13V$).

본 연구에서는 a-IGZO 활성층에 다른 dose량의 수소 이온을 조사하여 박막 트랜지스터 소자의 효과를 알아보고, 수소 이온 조사 후, 이온 조사에 따른 불안정한 소자 특성을 안정화시킬 목적으로 후 열처리에 따른 소자 특성을 알아보았다. a-IGZO 활성층에 수소이온을 110keV의 에너지로 가속하여, 수소 이온 조사량을 $1{\times}10^{14}\;ion/cm^2$, $1{\times}10^{15}\;ion/cm^2$, $1{\times}10^{16}\;ion/cm^2$로 조절하였고, 후 열처리 공정은 a-IGZO 활성층에 $1{\times}10^{16}\;ion/cm^2$ 이온조사 후, 대기 분위기로 $150^{\circ}C$, $250^{\circ}C$, $350^{\circ}C$ 각각 1시간 동안 열처리를 진행하였다. Spectroscopy Ellipsometry (SE)로 측정된 3eV이상의 광학적 밴드 갭은 기존에 보고 되었던 비정질 산화물 반도체와도 유사한 밴드 갭을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. IGZO 박막을 활성층으로 사용하여 수소 이온 조사 공정 후 제작한 박막 트랜지스터는 3.89 $cm^2/Vs$의 전계효과이동도와 0.59V/decade의 문턱전압 이하 기울기를 보았다. 수소 이온 조사 공정을 통한 IGZO 박막 트랜지스터의 output curve가 다소 불안정함을 보였으나, $1{\times}10^{16}\;ion/cm^2$ 이온조사 후, 대기 분위기로 $150^{\circ}C$, $250^{\circ}C$, $350^{\circ}C$ 각각 1시간동안 열처리를 진행한 박막 트랜지스터의 특성은 소자의 불안정성을 보완해줄뿐만 아니라 $350^{\circ}C$ 열처리에서는 16.9 $cm^2/Vs$의 전계효과이동도와 0.33V/decade의 문턱전압 이하 기울기와 같이 더 향상된 박막 트랜지스터의 전기적 특성 결과를 관측하였다. 기존의 연구 되어진 a-IGZO 활성층에 수소이온조사와 후 열처리 공정에 따라 광학적 밴드 갭 에너지 준위의 변화와 박막 및 박막 트랜지스터 특성을 변화시킨다는 결과를 도출하였다.

An yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) thin film on a porous NiO-YSZ substrate for an anode support type solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) was prepared by an electrophoretic deposition(EPD). Deposition condition and film properties in order to obtain the homogeneous YSZ thin film from the EPD solution with different polarity were studied. In different case of alcohol solution, hydrogen gas was produced in aqueous solution from the electrolyte reaction under constant current above 0.138 mA /$\textrm{cm}^2$.Its reaction generated the bubble-formed defect in the deposited film and decreased weight of the film. The homogeneous YSZ thin film was formed in alcohol solution at a constant current, 0.035 mA /$\textrm{cm}^2$ for 10 s.

In order to improve capacitance of activated carbon for electric double layer capacitors, peptide bond was induced on the surface of the activated carbon by urea. Urea induced activated carbon has been stabilized through carbonization. Electrochemical characteristics was observed by cyclic voltammetry for specific capacitance, electrochemical impedance spectroscope for measuring resistance and charge-discharge for testing the cyclic ability. In the result, specific capacitance is increased about 22.9% than the activated carbon. And it shows excellent cycle performance and decreasing resistance with the introduction of nitrogen functional groups.
