In this paper, the regenerative inverter system with voltage drop compensation mode is proposed. When the main rectifier is broken, the DC traction can not be supplied the power from the utility. Actually, the reserve rectifier is mounted in the substation to prevent this accident. In this paper, the voltage drop compensation mode is added to the regenerative inverter system in order to substitute the reserve rectifier. The proposed regenerative inverter system returns the regenerative energy from the DC line voltage to the utility. In addition, the inverter can be compensate the harmonics caused by the power conversion devices used in the DC traction system. We demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm by using computer simulation.

In this work, we conducted a study of fuel consumption characteristics and regenerative braking recovery rate by conducting an experiment using a TMED type parallel hybrid electric vehicle. As regenerative braking technology is considered essential to improve the energy efficiency of the hybrid vehicle, it is necessary to conduct research on the regenerative braking system. Therefore, the electrical characteristics, current balance, and fuel consumption were investigated using an EC type chassis dynamometer with experimental conditions as per IM240 mode. From the results, it was observed that when the initial SOC condition was lower, the engine operating time of the hybrid vehicle increased, and the energy efficiency decreased. While operating in the driving mode characteristics condition and the driving characteristics condition, the difference in the average fuel consumption was not significant. However, after completion of the experiment, there was a difference in the engine operation.

This paper proposes a novel control scheme for the harmonic reduction of DC power regenerating systems, which can regenerate the excessive DC power from DC bus line to AC supply in subway systems. In the developed regenerating systems controlled by MAC(Modified a-Conduction) method, the order of remaining harmonics are 12k$\pm$1. In SHE(Selected Harmonic Elimination) method proposed in this paper, however, the l1th and 13th harmonics are additionally eliminated. And moreover 23rd harmonics, lowest order harmonics among the remaining harmonics, is eliminated by 23rd AC filter furnished at the output terminals of regenerating systems. To verify the validity of the proposed SHE-based harmonic reduction technique, computer simulations are carried out. Simulation results show that the THDs of output voltages are lower than that of the MAC method and the THDs in the control range are in the range of 0.53-0.68 percents.

This study used 236 users of individual rehabilitation system in the regions of Daejeon, Sejong, Chungnam and Chungbuk to review the effects that stressors have on the depression. During this process, the moderating effect of the factor, 'perception of hope', was verified. The data were analyzed using PASW Statistics 18.0. Major findings are as follows; First, the depression found in study subjects was higher than average. Second, there was a significant difference in the depression across groups in accordance with age, residential area, education level, social participation. Third, factors affecting the depression were identified to be residential area, social participation, health, economy and family of stressors, hope. Fourth, hope appeared to have a moderating effect in the relation between health, economy, family of stressors and depression. Based on these findings, the study presents practical and integrated measures to deter depression users of individual rehabilitation system.

This paper explores the empirical performances of the workout companies with special interests in the effectiveness of corporate reorganizing tools on their revitalization. In the empirical analysis it considers the criteria of success or failure in restructuring from both creditors' and debtors' perspectives. The key results are summarized as follows. First, the initial conditions on the debt structure of the workout companies are significantly related to the revitalization from both creditors' and debtors' point of view. Second, the debt restructuring instruments are insignificant in the success of corporate turnarounds while the debt-to-equity conversion has been a relatively effective tool. Third, the self-restructuring efforts, employment downsizing and governance reshuffling do not affect the performances significantly. The higher importance of initial conditions than corporate restructuring efforts may imply that Korean corporate workouts serve better to the needs of creditor financial institutions which are to maximize debt recovery and of the government which is to overcome financial crisis.

This paper proposes a new control scheme for the power factor improvement of DC power regenerating systems, which can regenerate the excessive DC power from DC bus line to AC supply in substations for traction systems. From the viewpoint of both power capacity and switching losses, the system is designed on the basis of three-phase square-wave inverters and composed of two inverters, zig-zag connected output transformers, and an AC filter. The output voltages of the regenerating system are not sinusoidal. However, regenerated complex power is analyzed on the basis of fundamental components and thus the reactive power produced by harmonics is not considered. Therefore, it is needed a new control scheme capable of controlling the reactive power nearly to zero even for nonsinusoidal cases. To verify the validity of the proposed control scheme, computer simulations are carried out. And the results show that the power factor is theoretically higher than 0.99.

This experiment explains about electrical braking equipment which will be used for 1.2kW PEMFC HEV. The equipment is made of BLDC motor and super capacitor(EDLC). The circuit is designed for regeneration braking that can save the energy from low voltage of generation with BLDC motor. Increasing a regeneration energy from braking system is effected with regeneration current and SoC of super capacitor(EDLC). Electrical braking in electrical vehicle is suitable for regeneration braking with dynamic braking together.

본 논문에서는 전압강하 보상 기능을 갖는 직류 지하철 회생 인버터 시스템을 제안하였다. 직류 지하철 시스템의 정류기 사고 및 급전선의 단선사고로 인해 계통으로부터 원활한 전력을 공급받지 못하는 경우 전동차가 운행할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 직류 지하철 시스템과 병렬로 연결되어진 회생인버터에 전압강하 보상 기능을 추가 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 전력변환기는 양방향으로 전력 제어가 가능하여 하나의 전력변환기기로 3가지의 기능을 수행한다. 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해서 제안된 시스템의 타당성을 확인한다.
