A total of 1,239 patients had cardiac valve replacement using 1,514 substitute valves at Seoul National University Hospital from 1968 to 1986. Of the total substitute vales, 84.9% were the glutaraldehyde-treated xenograft valves. Six hundred ninety-four patients who had 820 bioprosthetic tissue valves were studied for their clinical characteristics. They were a total and consecutive cases to the end of the study. Four hundred sixty-four patients had the lonescu-Shiley pericardial valves: MVR 291, AVR 66 and MVR+AVR 107; 163 had the Hancock porcine valves; 46 had the Angell-Shiley porcine valves; and 21 had the Carpentier-Edwards porcine valves. Five hundred forty patients underwent single valve replacement: MVR 460, AVR 76 and TVR 4; 154 had multiple valve replacement: MVR+AVR 141, MVR+TVR 12 and one triple valve replacement. Additional surgery was necessary in 22.3% of the cases. Operative mortality rate within 30 days of surgery was 6.77% for the total patients: 5.2% and 4.2% with MVR, 13.6% and 12.5% with AVR, and 7.5% and 7.4% with MVR+AVR using the lonescu and the Hancock valves respectively. A linealized annual late mortality rate was 2.56%/patient-year. Six hundred forty-three operative survivors were followed up for a total of 1482.7 patient-years [a mean 27.7 months], and the follow-up rate was 67.7%. The Idealized complication rates were: 2.02% emboli/patient-year, 0.94% bleeding/patient-year, 1.21% endocarditis/patient-year, and 3.84% overall valve failure/patient-year. A linealized rate of primary tissue failure was 0.87%/patient-year. Actuarial survival rates including the operative mortality were: 87.8*2.6%, 82.3*4.9% and 82.2*4.7% with MVR, AVR and MVR+AVR using the lonescu valves at 4 years after surgery respectively; and they were 88.0*4.1% with MVR at 8 years, 82.3*4.9% with AVR at 4 years and 84.9*7.0% with MVR+AVR at 6 years after surgery using the Hancock valves respectively. Probabilities of freedom from thromboembolism were 89.8*6.3% with MVR using the lonescu valves at postoperative 5 years and 89.2*3.8% with MVR using the Hancock valves at postoperative 7 years, and 93.3*3.9% with AVR using the lonescu valves at postoperative 5 years. None had embolic complication after AVR using the Hancock valves. Probabilities of freedom from valve failure [according to the Stanford criteria] were 81.0*7.1% with MVR using the lonescu valves at postoperative 4 years and 57.4*12.5% with MVR using the Hancock valves at postoperative 9 years. These clinical results prove the excellent antithrombogenicity of the glutaraldehyde-treated xenograft substitute valves and confirm the previously speculated rate of tissue failure. At the present situation, it may be concluded that there is a room for the further development of more durable bioprosthetic valves.

본 논문에서는 Atmel사의 AVR 칩인 ATmega128을 이용한 AC 파워서플라이의 제어를 제안한다. 제안한 AC 파워서플라이는 풀브리지 구조를 이용하며, 그 부하로는 냉음극형 형광램프(램프)를 적용하였다. 특별히 램프는 부성저항 특성을 가진 부하이기 때문에 제안한 파워서플라이는 안정기 기능을 포함하며, AVR 칩을 이용하여 구조가 간단한 장점을 가진다. 제안한 파워서플라이의 동작특성은 실험결과로 보인다.

In this paper, the synchronous generator model which is derived from the swing equation and the Park's equation is transformed to an adequate form for feedback linearization. And the single controller is designed in order to play the role of both PSS and AVR. The result of the simulations shows that the stability of the system is guaranteed in the wide range of operating points.

Method for regulating voltage using a generator voltage regulating device (AVR) is divided in an existing analog system and a digital replacement. Typically, to adjust the voltage by using a brushless excitation system of the type to be reduced for a voltage change under all. The control method of the AVR as a PID (proportional-integral-differential) control method is widely used. However, the control scheme is to reduce the transient response of the control parameters of the controller to the control object. Therefore, if the control target should change, there is a problem, reset the parameters of the controller again. In this study, without having to reset the parameters of the controller for the parameter variations to be controlled iPID (intelligent PID) using a controller designed to obtain a generator AVR system voltage variation is small in response to full load is applied to and through simulations and experiments improved transient response.

Background: The optimal choice of valve substitute for aortic valve replacement (AVR) in pediatric patients remains a matter of debate. This study investigated the outcomes following AVR using mechanical prostheses in children. Methods: Forty-four patients younger than 15 years who underwent mechanical AVR from March 1990 through March 2023 were included. The outcomes of interest were death or transplantation, hemorrhagic or thromboembolic events, and reoperation after mechanical AVR. Adverse events included any death, transplant, aortic valve reoperation, and major thromboembolic or hemorrhagic event. Results: The median age and weight at AVR were 139 months and 32 kg, respectively. The median follow-up duration was 56 months. The most commonly used valve size was 21 mm (14 [31.8%]). There were 2 in-hospital deaths, 1 in-hospital transplant, and 1 late death. The overall survival rates at 1 and 10 years post-AVR were 92.9% and 90.0%, respectively. Aortic valve reoperation was required in 4 patients at a median of 70 months post-AVR. No major hemorrhagic or thromboembolic events occurred. The 5- and 10-year adverse event-free survival rates were 81.8% and 72.2%, respectively. In univariable analysis, younger age, longer cardiopulmonary bypass time, and smaller valve size were associated with adverse events. The cut-off values for age and prosthetic valve size to minimize the risk of adverse events were 71 months and 20 mm, respectively. Conclusion: Mechanical AVR could be performed safely in children. Younger age, longer cardiopulmonary bypass time and smaller valve size were associated with adverse events. Thromboembolic or hemorrhagic complications might rarely occur.

본 논문에서는 직렬전압보상을 기반으로 한 직렬 전압 보상을 기반으로 한 자동 전압 조절기(AVR)가 제안된다. 제안된 AVR은 펄스 폭 변조 방식(PWM)의 교류 쵸퍼와 직렬 전압 보상을 위한 변압기로 구성된다. 제안된 AVR에 사용된 교류 쵸퍼는 commutation 문제가 해결되고 직접적인 교류전력변환이 이루어지기 때문에 따로 에너지를 저장할 소자가 필요없다. 따라서 크기와 가격이 줄어드는 장점이 있다. 직렬보상을 위한 변압기 때문에 교류 쵸퍼는 단지 보상을 위해 필요한 전압만 보상하면 되며, 따라서 스위치의 정격이 줄어든다. 제안된 AVR은 보상전압을 입력전압의 동상 또는 역상으로 만들어 줄 수 있기 때문에 입력전압의 증가 시 또는 감소시를 모두 보상할 수 있다. 실험을 통해 제안된 AVR이 입력전압의 증가 혹은 감소 조건에 대해 빠르게 보상해줌을 검증하였다.

The Analysis on AVR-MVR conversion trouble for Excitation System AVR-MVR conversion is a very important function to transfer AVR to MVR when the grid has abrupt changes or the control system has some problems. Therefore through studying on AVR-MVR transfer scheme, and problems which might happen when transferring, we would like to enhance the stability of generator and control system.

AVR parameter tuning for voltage control of power system generators has generally been performed with the analytic methods and the simulation methods, which mostly depend on off-line linear mathematical models of excitation control system. However, due to the nonlinear nature of excitation control system, excitation control system performance of the tuned Parameters using the above conventional tuning methods may not be appropriate for some operating conditions. This paper presents an AVR parameter tuning method using actual on-line data of the excitation control system with the parameter optimization technique. As this method utilizes on-line operating data of the target excitation control system not the mathematical model of the system, it can overcome the limitation of model uncertainty Problems in conventional method, and it can tune the AVR parameter set which gives desired performance at the operating conditions. For the verification of proposed tuning method, two case studies with scaled excitation systems and the real-time power system simulator are presented.

AVR은 동기발전기의 출력전압을 부하변동에 관계없이 일정하게 제어하며 발전기 및 시스템 보호를 위한 각 종 제어 알고리즘을 구비하고 있다. 종래의 아나로그타입 AVR은 제어설정이 불편하고 제어신뢰성이 떨어지기 때문에 점차 디지털 타입으로 교체되고 있다. 본 연구는 선박발전기에 적용하기 위한 디지털 AVR 개발에 관한 것이다. TI사의 TMS320LF2407 CPU를 사용하여 제어 H/W를 개발했으며, 과여자/저여자제어, Droop제어, 무부하/역률제어 등 다양한 제어기능을 S/W로 구비하여 부하에 따른 적용의 유연성을 높였다. 그리고 전력회로는 IGBT를 사용하여 고속 스위칭 제어함으로써 SCR 방식에 비해 제어 속응성을 개선하였다. 개발 된 제품은 AVR, 직류전원공급장치 및 부하나 계통의 사고시 보호를 위한 전류부스트(CBS)기능을 포함하고 있다.
