The AC/DC converter, which connects the AC grid to the DC grid in the microgrid, is a critical component in power sharing and stable operation. Sometimes the AC/DC converters are connected in parallel to increase the transmission and reception capacity. When connected in parallel, circulating current is generated due to line impedance difference or sensor error. As a result of circulating current, there is deterioration and loss in particular PCS(Power Conversion System). In this paper, we propose droop control with novel adaptive virtual impedance for reducing circulating current. Feasibility of proposed algorithm is verified by PowerSIM simulation.

Background: Standard open acromioclavicular (AC) stabilization is associated with increased postoperative complications including deltoid injury, infection, tunnel complications, loss of reduction, and wound/cosmetic concerns. Arthroscopy may offer superior visualization and advantages that limit these risks. The aim of this prospective non-randomized study is to evaluate advantages and long-term reliability of arthroscopic AC stabilization. Methods: Thirty-two patients with acute grade III, IV and V AC dislocations underwent arthroscopic AC reconstruction with long-term assessment by clinical AC examination, Simple Shoulder Test, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores, visual analog scale, Specific AC Score and Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scores. Radiographs verified conservation of initial reduction and presence of coracoclavicular (CC) ossifications. Complications, revision rate, and satisfaction were assessed and compared to the literature. Results: Mean follow-up time was 67.6 months. All clinical outcome scores improved and differences were statistically significant (P<0.001). Initial postoperative radiographs consistently showed complete reduction. Two patients experienced relapse to grade II AC dislocation without clinical implications. In total, 71.8% showed CC ossifications without functional impairment, and in 31.3% concomitant injuries were observed. Reintervention rate was 9.4%, and 96.9% of patients were satisfied with procedure outcomes. Conclusions: Arthroscopic stabilization for acute AC joint dislocations offers satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes, and our results show that the arthroscopic technique is reliable in the long run. We report better reduction in maintenance, fewer complications, and similar reoperation rates compared to other techniques.

In this paper, we described the procedures of AC transport current loss in HTS tape. To carry out the calculation, A-$\Phi$ formulation was introduced and two dimensional FEM was used for computation. The results were showed that ellipse shape was higher loss compared to rectangle one and these were almost same behavior of analytical results predicted by Norris. A comparative analysis of loss for various n-value variation was also presented.

Recently, the use of DC power increased due to the increased use of digital load. Power factor of input current decrease and input current harmonics increase, and conversion loss which is occurred in the AC / DC converter is a problem to provide the proper DC voltage to the device equipped with an internal AC / DC converter. Hybrid system supplies the AC power and DC power to AC load (motor load and the transformer load) and DC loads (computers, TV, LED fluorescent light) at the same time it supplies the renewable energy and utility energy taken power from Utility to user for improving the efficiency and renewable energy improvements in ease of use. This paper studies DC characteristics of traditional AC load for Hybrid distributions.

본 논문에서는 802.l1e MAC의 EDCA 모드를 기반으로 한 무선랜 환경에서 realtime data인 voice traffic의 QoS를 향상하기 위한 방안을 연구하였다. 동적으로 채널의 상태를 보고, 네트워크 상태를 예측하여 채널 경쟁에 참여할지를 결정하는 방안으로, 경쟁이 치열할 때 voice traffic에 차별화된 가중치를 더 줄 수 있어 전반적인 voice traffic의 성능 향상에 기여한다. 본 연구에서 SU(slot utilization)을 계산하여 PT(Probability of Transmission)을 구할 때, 기존의 DCC 알고리즘을 그대로 802.11e에 적용하게 되면 4개의 AC에 똑같은 알고리즘이 적용되어 802.11e의 핵심인 차별화된 QoS를 지원하는데 무리가 있다. 기존 DCC 알고리즘에서 재시도 회수만 고려해 구하는 것을 802.11e 구조에 맞추어 4개의 AC별로 차별화하여 전송확률(PT)를 구할 수 있게 하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 재시도 회수를 고려하여 재시도 회수가 않은 packet에는 PT값이 높게 나을 수 있게 하고, 최대 가능한 재시도 회수에 도달할 때에는 상위 AC 영역의 값이 나오게 하여 AC의 upgrade가 되는 효과를 가져오게 하였다. 이 때 각 AC의 lower bound와 upper bound를 정하고, 이 때 802.11e의 최대 재시도 회수 parameter와의 상관관계를 정의하여 하위 AC가 상위 AC의 영역을 침범하지 못하도록 정의하고 있다. 추가적으로 SU의 값을 구할 때에도 현재의 SU값 대신 누적된 평균 SU값을 사용해 PT값을 구하여, utilization, latency, Packet loss등 전반적인 부분의 성능개선을 확인할 수 있다.

In this study we investigated ac transport current losses in the face to face stack for the anti-parallel current flow, and compared the electromagnetic properties with those of the single SC tape as well as those of the same stack for the parallel current path. The gap between the SC tapes in the stack varied in order to verify the electromagnetic influence of the neighbors when current flows in opposite direction, and the model was implemented in the finite element method program by the commercial software, COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2a. Conclusively speaking, the loss was remarkably decreased for the anti-parallel current case, which is attributed the magnetic flux compensation between the SC layers due to the opposite direction of the current flows. As the gap between SC tapes was increased, the loss mitigation became less effective. Besides, the current density distribution is very flat cross the sample width for the narrower gap case, which is believed to be benefit for the power electric system. These results are all in good agreement with those predicted theoretically for an infinite bifilar stack.

Background and Objectives: Bilateral microphones with contralateral routing of signal (BiCROS) hearing aid is an option for hearing rehabilitation in individuals with asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL). The clinical factors influencing the trial and purchase of BiCROS were investigated. Subjects and Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 78 patients with ASNHL who were recommended to use BiCROS and analyzed the demographic and audiological factors influencing the trial and purchase of BiCROS. Results: Among the 78 patients, 52 (66.7%) availed of the free BiCROS trial and 21 (26.9%) purchased BiCROS. The mean pure tone audiometry (PTA) air conduction (AC) threshold of the better- and worse-hearing ears were 44.2±12.8 dB and 90.7±22.5 dB HL, respectively. The decision for trial or purchase of BiCROS was not influenced by age, sex, duration of hearing loss of the worse-hearing ear, or PTA AC threshold or speech discrimination score of both ears. The first and third quartiles of the PTA AC thresholds for the better-hearing ear of BiCROS buyers were 38.75 dB and 53.75 dB HL, respectively. The counterpart values for the worse-hearing ear were 72.50 dB and 118.75 dB HL, respectively. Conclusions: The clinical factors analyzed in this study were found to be irrelevant to the trial and purchase of BiCROS in patients with ASNHL. Nevertheless, the distribution range of the auditory thresholds of the subjects using BiCROS can be a useful basis for the counseling of patients with ASNHL and selection of candidates for BiCROS use.

YBCO wire has a metal substrate to improve the texture structure and highly conductive layers to increase the cryogenic stability. When AC current flows in the YBCO wire, magnetic field which is generated by the AC current magnetizes the metal substrate and induces the eddy current in the stabilizing layer. To examine the effect of the metal substrate and the conducting layer on the transport current loss of YBCO wire, this paper presents the transport current loss of YBCO wire which has metal substrate and conductive layer. YBCO wire with Ni-W substrate and copper layer were chosen as the model HTS wire for numerical calculation. Finite element method has been used to calculate the transport loss and the results of numerical calculation was compared with analytic calculation suggested by Norris.
