The performance characteristics of the polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCS) were investigated under various humidification conditions at steady-state and transient conditions. The PEFC studied in this study was characterized by I-V curves in the potentiostatic mode and EIS (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy). The I-V curves representing steady-state performance were obtained from OCV to 0.25 V, and the dynamic performance responses were obtained at some voltages. The effects of anodic external humidification were measured by varying relative humidity of hydrogen from 20% to 100% while dry air was supplied in the cathode. At the high voltage region, the performance became higher with the increase of the temperature, while at the low voltage region, the performance decreased with the increase of temperature. The EIS showed that ohmic losses were larger at the dry condition of membrane and the effects of mass transport losses increased remarkably when the external and self-humidification were high. The dynamic responses were also monitored by changing the voltage of the PEFC instantly. As the temperature increased, the current reached steady-state earlier. The self-humidification with the generated water delayed the stabilization of the current except for low voltage conditions.

본 논문에서는 전력품질 향상용 전력전자기기의 제어에 중요한 정보인 전원의 위상각을 검출하는 기존의 방법들에 대해서 먼저 알아보고, 그 중 불평형한 전원단 전압조건에서도 정확한 위상각을 검출할 수 있는 전차원 상태관측기를 이용한 정상분 전압 추출 PLL(Phase Locked Loop) 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 PLL 방법은 기존의 전역 통과 필터(APF, All Pass Filter)를 이용한 정상분 전압추출기 대신 전차원 상태관측기를 사용함으로써 불평형사고 발생 시 과도상태 응답특성을 개선하였다. 기존의 정상분 전압 추출 PLL 방법과 본 논문에서 제안된 PLL 방법의 성능을 비교하기 위해, 전원단 전압에 불평형 사고 발생시 위상각을 검출하는 모의실험과 실험을 하였고, 이를 통해 기존의 전역 통과 필터를 이용한 정상분 전압 추출 PLL 방법보다 제안된 전차원 상태관측기를 이용한 정상분 전압 추출 PLL 방법의 과도상태 응답특성이 개선됨을 입증하였다.

This paper presents a precision voltage control technique of a single phase PWM inverter for a constant voltage and constant frequency(CVCF) applications. The proposed control scheme employs an additional phase-locked loop(PLL) compensator which is constructed using the output capacitor voltage and current. The computer simulation and experiment are carried out for the actual single-phase PWM inverter and it is well demonstrated from these results that the steady-state performance and total harmonic distortion(THD) are remarkably improved by employing the proposed technique.

A performance evaluation is made in terms of thrust, impulse bit. and specific impulses for a set of mono-propellant hydrazine thrusters producing 0.95 lbf of nominal thrust at an inlet pressure of 350 psia. With a brief description on the hot-firing test configuration and procedures. a typical data obtained from steady-state firing mode is given directly showing the variational behavior of propellant supply pressure, mass flow rate, vacuum condition, and thrust. The performance features are successfully compared to the reference criteria of 1-lbf standard mono-propellant rocket engine. Additionally. a statistical inter-thruster treatment is concisely depicted for the justification of selected thrusters as a grouped member of flight model for spacecraft propulsion system.

RAID는 고병렬성과 고가용성을 목표로 제안된 대용량 저장 수단이다. 패리티 디클러스터링을 이용한 RAID는 특히 고장이 발생한 경우에도 성능의 저하를 최소화하여 고가용성을 갖는 저장장치를 구축할 수 있는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 패리티 디클러스터링을 사용한 RAID에 스페어 유닛을 분산시킨 구성을 제안하고, 특히 이러한 분산 스페어링이 고장이 없는 정상 상태에서도 성능 개선에 유용함을 보인다. 본 논문의 실험 결과는 시뮬레이션 방식으로 입증하였으며, 전반적으로 정상상태의 성능을 5-15% 정도 높일 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

In this study, a performance model of the smart UAV propulsion system with ducts, tip jets and variable main nozzle, which has flight capability of the rotary wing mode for the take-off/landing and low speed forward flight as well as the fixed wing mode for high speed forward flight, has been newly developed With the proposed model, steady-state performance analysis was performed at various flight modes such as rotary wing mode, fixed wing mode, compound ing mode and altitude as well as at flight speed conditions. In investigation of performance analysis. it was noted that the operational capability of the propulsion system was limited due to the duct losses depending on each flight mode, and the limitation with the altitude variation case had much greater than that with the flight speed variation case.

The alternate adaptation algorithm (AAA) is proposed to improve the convergence characteristics and steady-state performance of the constant modulus algorithm (CMA). The alternate adaptation algorithm is a new equalization method which adapts an equalizer alternately by the algorithm with excellent blind convergence characteristics or the algorithm with better steady-state error performance. In this paper, it is introduced that the alternate adaptation equalization of the vsCMA (variable step-size CMA) and the decision-directed (DD) algorithm. We, first, designed the vsCMA with variable step-size to improve the steady-state error performance of the CMA, and combined it with the DD by alternate adaptation. As a result, it was mitigated that the sensitivity of performance fluctuation due to switching timing in CMA-DD switching method, and it was improved that the convergence speed and steady-state error performance of the CMA. Through computer simulations, under multipath channel condition, the usefulness of the proposed method was confirmed for 16-QAM.

A comprehensive understanding is given for the hot-firing test results, which were obtained throughout the verification program of mono-propellant hydrazine rocket engines (thrusters) producing 0.95 lbf (4.2 N) of nominal steady-state thrust at an inlet pressure of 350 psia (2.41 Mpa). A scrutiny for the engine performance is made in terms of thrust and temperature behavior of steady state firing mode at the given propellant injection pressures: Pinj = 400, 250, 100, and 50 psi. The thrust and specific impulse are compared with a reference performance of 1-lbf standard rocket engines and their normalization procedure is introduced. A practical engineering approach to the data measurement and reduction is addressed, too.

In this paper, a new method for first order plus dead time(FOPDT) model identification is proposed, which can identity multiple points on a process step response in terms of classification of time response. The process input and output to the test are decomposed into the transient part and the steady-state part. The steady-state part express one FOPDT model and the transient part express variously FOPDT model using least square estimation method. The optimum parameter tuning algorithm for PID controller of the Smith Predictor is proposed through ITAE as performance index. The Simulation results show the validity and improvement of performance for various processes.

본 논문에서는, multiple-buffered crossbar 스위치를 이용한 다층 연결 망의 성능 분석 모형을 제안하고, 스위치에 장착된 buffer의 개수 증가에 따른 성능 향상 추이를 분석하였다. Buffered 스위치 기법은 다층 연결 망 (Multistage Interconnection Network, MIN)의 내부의 데이터 충돌 문제를 효과적으로 해결할 수 있는 방법으로 알려져 있다. 제안된 성능 분석 모형은 먼저 네트웍 내부 임의 스위치 입력 단에 유입되는 데이터 패킷이 buffered 스위치 내부에서 전송되는 패턴을 확률적으로 분석하여 수립하였다. 분석 모형의 수학적 복잡도 절감을 위하여 확률식 유도 과정에 정상상태 확률 rosa(steady state probability)을 도입하였다. 제안한 모형은 스위치의 크기 및 스위치에 장착된 buffer의 수와 무관하게 확대 적용이 가능하다. 제안한 수학적 성능 분석 연구의 실효성 검증을 위하여 병행된 시뮬레이션 처리 결과는 상호 미세한 오차 범위 내에서 모형의 예측 데이터와 일치하는 결과를 보여 분석 모형의 타당성을 입증하였다. 2$\times$2 스위치로 구성된 8$\times$8 MIN을 대상으로 분석을 시행한 결과 스위치에 2~4개의 buffer를 장착했을 경우 unbuffer 스위치 경우와 비교하여 네트웍 정상상태 Throughout의 증가율이 높고 네트웍 Delay 또한 낮아져 효율적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 2~2 crossbar 스위치로 구성된 MIN의 경우 스위치에 장착된 buffer의 개수가 네 개 정도일 경우가 가격 대 성능비 면에서 가장 유리한 것으로 연구되었다.
