The superconducting fault current limiters(SFCLs) provide the effect such as enhancement in power system reliability due to limiting the fault current within a few miliseconds. Among various SFCLs we have developed a flux-lock type SFCL and exploited a special design to effectively reduce the fault current according to properly adjustable magnetic field after the short-circuit test. This SFCL consists of two copper coils wound in parallel on the same iron core and a component using the YBCO thin film connected in series to the secondary copper coil. Meanwhile, operating characteristics can be controlled by adjusting the inductances and the winding directions of the coils. To analyze the operational characteristics, we compared closed-loop with open-loop iron core. When the applied voltage was 200[Vrms] in the additive polarity winding, the peak values of the line current the increased up to 30.71[A] in the closed-loop and 32.01[A] in the open-loop iron core, respectively. On the other hand, in the voltages generated at current limiting elements were 220.14[V] in the closed-loop and 142.73[V] in the opal-loop iron core during first-half cycle after fault instant under the same conditions. We confirmed that the open-loop iron core had lower power burden than in the closed-loop iron core. Consequently, we found that the structure of iron core enabled the flux-lock type SFCL at power system to have the flexibility.

Probabilistic Risk Assessment considering statistically random variables is performed for the preliminary design of a Cable Stayed Bridge, which is Prestressed Concrete Bridge consisted of cable and plate girders, based on the method of Working Stress Design and Strength Design. Component reliabilities of cables and girders have been evaluated using the response surface of the design variables at the selected critical sections based on the maximum shear, positive and negative moment locations. Response Surface Method (RSM) is successfully applied for reliability analyses for this relatively small probability of failure of the complex structure, which is hard to obtain through Monte-Carlo Simulations. or through First Order Second Moment Method that can not easily calculate the derivative terms of implicit limit state functions. For the analysis of system reliability, parallel resistance system consisting of cables and plate girder is changed into series connection system and the result of system reliability of total structure is presented. As a system reliability, the upper and lower probabilities of failure for the structural system have been evaluated and compared with the suggested prediction method for the combination of failure modes. The suggested prediction method for the combination of failure modes reveals the unexpected combinations of element failures in significantly reduced time and efforts compared with the previous permutation method or system reliability analysis method, which calculates upper and lower bound failure probabilities.

태양광 발전산업에서 현재 주류인 결정 실리콘 태양전지의 변환효율은 꾸준히 향상되고 있으나, 태양전지의 가격이 매년 서서히 하강되고 있는 실정에서 결정질 실리콘 가격의 상승 등으로 부가가치창출에 어려움이 있으며, 생산 원가를 낮출 수 있는 태양전지 제조기술로는 2세대 태양전지로 불리는 박막형이 현재의 대안이며, 특히 에너지 변환 효율과 생산 원가에서 장점이 있는 것이 CIGS 박막태양전지로 판단된다. 화합물반도체 베이스인 CIGS 박막태양전지는 연구실에서는 세계적으로 20.3% 높은 효율을 보고하고 있으며, 모듈급에서도 13% 효율로 생산이 시작되고 있다. 국내에서도 연구실 규모뿐만 아니라 대면적(모듈급) CIGS 박막 태양전지 증착용 장비, 제조공정 등의 기술개발이 진행되고 있다. CIGSe2를 광흡수층으로 하는 CIGSe2 박막 태양전지의 구조는 여러 층의 단위박막(하부전극, 광흡수층, 버퍼층, 상부투명전극)을 순차적으로 형성시켜 만든다. 본 연구에서 광흡수층은 스퍼터링 방법으로 CIG precusor를 먼저 만들고, 그 위에 증발법으로 Se를 증착한 다음, 열처리 조건으로 CIGSe2 박막태양전지를 제작하였다. 제작된 CIGSe2 박막태양전지는 열처리 조건에 따라서 에너지 변환효율이 3.3에서 9.5%까지 다양하게 측정되었으며, 본 연구의 최고효율이 측정된 디바이스에서 개방전압은 0.48 V, 전류밀도는 33 mA/cm였으며, 그리드 전극을 제외한 디바이스의 면적은 0.57 cm2였다. 본 연구에서는 셀렌화 열처리 조건에 따른 CIGSe2 박막태양전지의 효율 측면을 고려하였지만, 더 높은 에너지 변환효율을 갖기 위해서 좀 더 높은 에너지 밴드갭과 개방전압, 낮은 직렬저항과 높은 shunt 저항 값 등의 상호 의존성에 대해서 연구결과들을 논하고자 한다.

A new high power density and low cost Photovoltaic Power Conditioning System (PV PCS) with energy storage system is proposed. Its high power density and cost effectiveness can be achieved through the unification of the maximum power point tracker and battery charger/discharger. Despite of the reduced power stage, the proposed system can achieve the same performances of maximum power point tracking and battery charging/discharging as the conventional system. Moreover, the high voltage stress across the link-capacitor can be relieved through the series-connected link-capacitor with the battery. Therefore, a large number of series/parallel-connected link-capacitors can be reduced by 4-times. Especially, when the utility power failure happens, both photovoltaic and battery energies can be supplied to the load with only one power stage. Therefore, it features a simpler structure, less mass, lower cost, and fewer devices. Finally, to confirm the operation, validity, and features of the proposed system, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a single phase AC 220Vrms/1.5kW prototype are presented.

In this paper, we propose a vocal and nonvocal separation method which uses a combination of kernel model and LSTM (Long-Short Term Memory) networks. Conventional vocal and nonvocal separation methods estimate the vocal component even in sections where only non-vocal components exist. This causes a problem of the source estimation error. Therefore we combine the existing kernel based separation method with the vocal/nonvocal classification based on LSTM networks in order to overcome the limitation of the existing separation methods. We propose a parallel combined separation algorithm and series combined separation algorithm as combination structures. The experimental results verify that the proposed method achieves better separation performance than the conventional approaches.

This paper presents a balun consisting of a T-junction, a Right/Left Handed Transmission line(RLH-TL), and a conventional Right Handed(RH) line. It is assumed that the RLH-TL consists of N unit-cells. We provide closed-form solutions and design a very compact wideband(80 %) balun using CPW lines based on the obtained solutions. Then, we propose a capacitively loaded loop antenna designed for a uniform current distribution. The antenna resistance of the proposed antenna at resonance is about 204 ohms. The length of the unit cell is about $\lambda/12$(total length: $1\;\lambda$). The magnetic field generated from the proposed antenna is stronger than that of the conventional one by as much as 20 dB. We used a coplanar strip line(CPS) to combine the loop antenna and balun. The proposed antenna may be used as a near field UHF RFID reader antenna.

We investigate the effects of high input power on the performance of optical bistable symmetric self-electooptic effect devices (S-SEEDs) using extremely shallow quantum wells (ESQWs). In this study, we consider the four ESQWs SEEDs; anti-reflection (AR)-coated ESQWs S-SEED, back-to-back AR coated ESQWs S-SEED, asymmetric F뮤교-Perot (AFP) ESQWs S-SEED, and back-to-back AFP-ESQWs S-SEED. As the input power increases, device performances such as on/off contrast ratio, on/off reflectivity difference are seriously degraded because of ohmic heating and exciton saturation. On the other hand, switching speed of the device increases up to certain value and then begins to decrease. With reasonable optimization of the input power for the best switching speed operation of the devices in a cascading optical interconnection system, we simulate and analyze the system bit-rate of the various ESQWs S-SEEDs, for a mesa of $5{\times}5{\mu}m^2$ size, changing the namber of quantum wells for the external bias of 0 V and -5V.

인터넷의 성장과 더불어 수많은 응용시스템들이 인터넷 기반 시스템으로 바뀌고 있다. 특히, 인터넷 기반 전문가시스템은 다양한 구조와 방법으로 설계될 수 있고 이미 제작되었던 수많은 인터넷 기반 전문가시스템들은 그 나름대로의 장단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 특정 전문가시스템의 개발이 아니라 WWW(World Wide Web)을 사용자 인터페이스로 이용할 수 있는 전문가시스템 쉘에 관한 연구이다. 본 시스템은 WWW 하부구조에 대한 의존성을 제거, 클라이언트와 네크워크에 부담 격감, HTML과 부합하는 텍스트에 기초한 통신과 같은 장점 외에 중앙 집중적 다중 사용자 접근 관리 기능을 제공한다. 본 시스템은 다중사용자를 위한 서버/클라이언트 환경 구축을 위해 소켓을 이용하여 큐잉(queueing)과 직렬화(serialization)를 해결하고 비연결 지향적인 WWW의 특성으로 인한 사용자 관리의 어려움은 사용자의 IP 주소와 Timer를 이용한 휴무기간 검사를 이용하여 해결한다.Abstract The growth of internet drives many applications into internet-based systems. Internet-based expert systems can be designed with various concepts and methodologies, and they have their own merits and demerits. This papers is a study on a development of not expert system itself but expert system shell which is able to use WWW(World Wide Web) as user interface. The suggested system supports functions on multiuser management controlled by a server system as well as independence on development environments, minimization of the load for clients and network, and text-based communications such as HTML. The system uses socket, which solves problems of queuing and serialization, in order to construct multiuser server/client environmen and also the system solves the non-connective property of WWW which makes it difficult to control users and processes by using IP address and idle time which is supported by the timer.

The recent fingerprint recognition system has unstable factors, such as copy of fingerprint patterns and hacking of fingerprint feature point, which mali cause significant system error. Thus, in this research, we used the fingerprint as the main recognition device and then implemented the multi-biometric recognition system in serial using the speech recognition which has been widely used recently. As a multi-biometric recognition system, once the speech is successfully recognized, the fingerprint recognition process is run. In addition, speaker-dependent DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) algorithm is used among existing speech recognition algorithms (VQ, DTW, HMM, NN) for effective real-time process while KSOM (Kohonen Self-Organizing feature Map) algorithm, which is the artificial intelligence method, is applied for the fingerprint recognition system because of its calculation amount. The experiment of multi-biometric recognition system implemented in this research showed 2 to $7\%$ lower FRR (False Rejection Ratio) than single recognition systems using each fingerprints or voice, but zero FAR (False Acceptance Ratio), which is the most important factor in the recognition system. Moreover, there is almost no difference in the recognition time(average 1.5 seconds) comparing with other existing single biometric recognition systems; therefore, it is proved that the multi-biometric recognition system implemented is more efficient security system than single recognition systems based on various experiments.
