In this study, we applied edge-pulse modulation to prevent the flicker of light-emitting diode (LED) light in a visible light identification system. In the visible light transmitter, positive pulses were transmitted at the edges of the low-to-high transition points, and negative pulses were transmitted at the edges of the high-to-low transition points of the non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data waveforms. In the visible light receiver, the NRZ waveforms were regenerated by making low-to-high and high-to-low transitions at the point of the positive and negative pulses, respectively. This method has two advantages. First, it ensures that the LED light is flicker-free because the average optical power of the LED was kept constant during data transmission in the transmitter. Second, the 120 Hz optical noise from the adjacent lighting lamps was easily cut off using a simple RC-high pass filter in the receiver.

Now the IEC flicker measuring algorithms and its flicker index of $P_{st}$ and $P_{lt}$ are accepted internationally as standards. But it is recently found that IEC flickermeter has a main drawback that it cannot afford to detect the fluctuating patterns of voltage envelope caused by interharmonics higher than 102Hz in the 60Hz power system. This is brought about by two components of IEC flicker measuring steps, squaring and low-pass filtering. This paper presents the innate defect of IEC flickermeter and proposes a modified measuring method considering the voltage flickers by subharmonics and interharmonics.

본 논문은 마이크로프로세서 및 전력용반도체인 사이리스터로 제어되는L-C 고조파 필터에 관한 것이다. 개발된 고조파 필터는 3상 220[V]이며 25[㎸A]5고조파 제거용이다. 또한 고조파 필터는 콘덴서에 의해 역률을 개선하는 역할을 한다. 고조파 전류 발생시 3사이클 이내에 고조파 필터가 동작하며, 제로 크로싱 제어로 개폐시 과도서지가 발생하지 않는다. 전류변동에 따른 응답속도가 빨라 부수적으로 전압변동에 의한 플리커 현상을 해소시키는 역할도 한다. 개발된 제품에 대하여 안전성능 및 일반성능 실험결과 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다.

This paper studies flicker evaluation considering power quality disturbance. A flicker problem with light device irritates human's eyes. Also, the flicker problem has an influence on adverse effect such as rolling device and rotating device. However, a study of flicker evaluation is not complete. A flicker is measured and evaluated at monitoring point. But we consider power qualify disturbances such as voltage sag and transient that cause fault and inverter/breaker switching. Power quality disturbances affects flicker evaluation. A flicker evaluation index increases. Therefore, we consider power quality disturbances. We detect voltage sag and transient using wavelet and evaluate flicker without flicker index including power quality disturbances.

본 논문에서는 RF 플라즈마를 사용하는 공정장비의 임피던스 정합 특성 개선을 위해 RF Match 제어단의 제어 알고리즘과 하드웨어의 디지털화 방안에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 개발된 제어단은 최적의 동작성능을 위하여 멀티 프리셋, 이득제어 기능 등 부가기능을 갖도록 설계/제작하였고, 또한 LCD 모듈의 설치를 통하여 RF Match의 실시간 상태 파악이 가능하도록 하였다. 개발된 제어단에 대한 실험결과로부터 RF 전력의 over/under shoot, 플라즈마 플리커 등의 현상이 제거되었고, 정합시간이 크게 단축되었음을 알 수 있었다.

최근 LED의 빠른 성장과 새로운 개발이 이루어지면서 이를 이용한 응용제품의 개발과 기존 조명을 대체하려는 연구가 활발히 진행 되고 있다. 기존의 LED PCB Ass'y와 구동드라이브는 분리형으로 Size및 소자의 개수가 많아 cost및 신뢰성 부분에 제약이 따른다. 이에 대한 보완점을 찾기 위하여 본 연구에서는 새로운 LED 구동 드라이브를 제안하였다. 회로의 부하를 LED Module로 구성하여 피크 전류를 완화하여 LED 동작 및 전류제어가 가능 하고, 부하에 저항만 있을 때의 전압, 전류의 출력파형이 플리커 현상을 보이는 부분이 사인파로 조정된 모습을 확인 할 수 있다. 본 연구 에서는 기존 LED 드라이브의 많은 제약적인 부분을 보완하기 위해 출력되는 전압, 전류의 파형이 부하에 따라 변화하는 모습을 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

Nowadays there are many kinds of large scale loads and they make the power quality deteriorated. As the uses of nonlinear loads increase, there are the influences on the other kinds of loads (mainly light loads) in the same distribution system. Especially the voltage variation by the loads which draw the large and instantaneous currents can cause the appreciable light flicker. This is called the voltage flicker or, briefly, the flicker. This paper deals with the digital and time domain algorithm of measuring flicker based on IEC 61000-4-15 and the real time measurement of flicker through the proposed power quality monitoring system.

Flicker, also known as voltage fluctuation, is a newest problem of power quality issues, because it is caused by nonlinear loads such as electrical arc furnace and large-scale induction motor, which are country-widely used as the heavy industries of a country develop. An international standard, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61000-4-15, was published in 1997 and revised in 2003. With increasing concerns about flicker, its mitigation methods have been also studied. General countermeasures for flicker are divided into three categories: a) enhancing the capacity of supplying system, b) Series elements including series reactor and series capacitor and c) power electronic devices including static VAR compensator (SVC) and static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). This paper introduces how to mitigate the voltage flicker at the point of common coupling (PCC) and presents how to simulate and compare the flicker alleviating effects by each mitigation method, using IEC flickermeter based on the Matlab/Simulink program.

최근의 전자계산기, 각종 제어장치 또는 컬러TV등 전자기기의 보급에 따라 공급전압의 고도의 안전성, 즉 전력의 질적 향상에 대한 요구는 더욱 높아지고 있다. 한편 전압변동 발생원인 아크로, 암정기 및 용접기 등은 합리화, 생산성의 향상을 위해 대형화됨에 따라 공장내 뿐만 아니라 일반 전력계통에 전압변동장해를 야기하는 경우가 많아지고 있다. 이같은 전압변동은 조명에 플리커가 발생하여 인간의 눈에 불쾌감을 주거나 각종 전기기기의 오동작이나 정지 등을 야기하여 생산, 연구, 의료관계에 악영향을 미친다. 여기서 전압변동이 전기기기에 미치는 영향과 대책에 대하여 해설하기로 한다.

Marine Spatial Planning is an emerging strategy that promoting sustainable development at coastal and marine areas based on the concept of ecosystem services. Regarding its methodology, usage rate of resources and its impact should be considered in the process of spatial planning. Particularly, considering the rapid increase of coastal tourism, visitation pattern is required to be identified across coastal areas. However, actions to quantify visitation pattern have been limited due to its required high cost and labor for conducting extensive field-study. In this regard, this study aimed to pose the usage of social big data in Marine Spatial Planning to identify spatial visitation density and critical management zone throughout coastal areas. We suggested the usage of GPS information from Flickr and Twitter, and evaluated the critical management zone by applying spatial statistics and density analysis. This study's results clearly showed the coastal areas having relatively high visitors in the southern sea of South Korea. Applied Flickr and Twitter information showed high correlation with field data, when proxy excluding over-estimation was applied and appropriate grid-scale was identified in assessment approach. Overall, this study offers insights to use social big data in Marine Spatial Planning for reflecting size and usage rate of coastal tourism, which can be used to designate conservation area and critical zones forintensive management to promote constant supply of cultural services.
