기존의 진동에너지 하베스터는 한 주파수에서의 공진현상을 이용하여 에너지를 얻기 때문에 고정된 단일 주파수를 갖는 진동에너지로부터 전기에너지를 변환하는데 최적이지만 다양한 주파수를 포함하고 있는 파도와 같은 상하진동 에너지원으로부터 전기에너지를 얻는 데에는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 해결하기위해 파도가 갖는 무한한 상하진동 에너지로부터 전기에너지를 얻는 광대역 진동에너지 하베스터를 연구하였다. 광대역 진동에너지 하베스터는 부양체와 진동에너지 하베스터가 각각 파도에너지가 갖는 중심주파수에서 공진이 발생되도록 구성되어있다. 그 결과 기존 공진을 이용한 진동에너지 하베스터는 한 주파수에서만 진동에너지를 전기에너지로 변환할 때 효율을 극대화할 수 있는 반면, 제안한 방법은 다양한 주파수를 포함하고 있는 파도에너지로부터 전기에너지로 변환할 때도 효율을 극대화 할 수 있는 장점을 가진다.

Wave energy dissipation and energy transfer between wave components, during the directional wave breakings, are investigated. Directional incipient and plunging breakers were generated by focusing the multi-frequency and multi-directional wave components at a designed location, based on a constant wave amplitude and a constant wave steepness frequency spectrum. The time series of surface wave elevation was measured at 9 different locations around the wave focusing point, using a wave gauge array. In order to examine the variation of the directional spreading function, the horizontal velocity of fluid motion was also measured. By comparing energy spectrums, before and after the breaking, the characteristics of energy dissipation and energy transfer, caused by wave breaking, are investigated. Their dependencies on directionality, as well as frequency, are analyzed. The breakings significantly dissipate wave energy, through energy transfer, in the upper region of the peak-frequency band, while enhancing wave energy in the low-frequency band.

Recently, the use of LLCL filters for grid inverters has been suggested to give better harmonic attenuation than the commonly used L and LCL filters, particularly around the switching frequency. Nevertheless, this filter is mainly designed for constant switching frequency pulse width modulation (CSF PWM) methods. In variable switching frequency PWM (VSF PWM), the harmonic components are distributed across a wide frequency band which complicates the use of a high order filter, including LCL and LLCL filters. Recently, a confined band variable switching frequency (CB-VSF) PWM method has been proposed and demonstrated to be superior to the conventional constant switching frequency (CSF) PWM in terms of switching losses. However, the applicability of LLCL filters for this type of CB-VSF PWM has not been discussed. In this paper, the authors study the suitability of an LLCL filter for CB-VSF PWM and propose design guidelines for the filter parameters. Using simulation and experimental results, it is demonstrated that the effectiveness of an LLCL filter with CB-VSF PWM depends on the parameters of the filters as well as the designed variable frequency band of the PWM. Simulation results confirm the performance of the suggested LLCL design, which is further validated using a lab scale prototype.

This paper deals with the design of decentralized controller for load-frequency control of interconnected power systems with superconducting magnetic energy storage units and Governor Dead Band Nonlinearity using Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm. The superconducting magnetic energy storage unit exhibits favourable damping effects by suppressing the frequency oscillations as well as stabilizing the inter-area oscillations effectively. The proposed control strategy is mainly based on a compromise between Integral Squared Error and Maximum Stability Margin criteria. Analysis on a two-area interconnected thermal power system reveals that the proposed controller improves the dynamic performance of the system and guarantees good closed-loop stability even in the presence of nonlinearities and with parameter changes.

In this paper, we propose a technique to determine the normal and arc of an alternating current using a mixed filter composed of an average filter and a band-pass filter and a frequency analysis. The proposed method uses the moving average filter of the FIR filter structure for noise removal and the band-pass filter of the IIR filter structure for detecting only specific frequency components after normalizing the measured current signal based on the maximum value. After performing Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) using the band-pass filtered signal, the total energy is calculated using the magnitude component of the frequency, and the arc is detected using the magnitude of the calculated energy. In order to show the validity of the proposed method, we experimented with various data and found that arc and steady state can be easily discriminated by calculating spectral energy. Therefore, it is considered that the proposed method can be applied to arc diagnosis of low voltage electric wire.

The resonant mechanism of reradiation interference (RRI) over 1.7MHz from power transmission lines cannot be obtained from IEEE standards, which are based on researches of field intensity. Hence, the resonance is ignored in National Standards of protecting distance between UHV power lines and radio stations in China, which would result in an excessive redundancy of protecting distance. Therefore, based on the generalized resonance theory, we proposed the idea of applying model-based parameter estimation (MBPE) to estimate the generalized resonance frequency of electrically large scattering objects. We also deduced equation expressions of the generalized resonance frequency and its quality factor Q in a lossy open electromagnetic system, i.e. an antenna-transmission line system in this paper. Taking the frequency band studied by IEEE and the frequency band over 1.7 MHz as object, we established three models of the RRI from transmission lines, namely the simplified line model, the tower line model considering cross arms and the line-surface mixed model. With the models, we calculated the scattering field of sampling points with equal intervals using method of moments, and then inferred expressions of Padé rational function. After calculating the zero-pole points of the Padé rational function, we eventually got the estimation of the RRI’s generalized resonant frequency. Our case studies indicate that the proposed estimation method is effective for predicting the generalized resonant frequency of RRI in medium frequency (MF, 0.3~3 MHz) band over 1.7 MHz, which expands the frequency band studied by IEEE.

Power Flow Analysis (PFA) is developed for the effective predictions of frequency-averaged vibrational response in medium-to-high frequency ranges. In PFA, the power coefficients of semi-infinite structure and for-field energy density are used to predict the vibrational responses of structures. Generally, at high frequencies, PFA can predict narrow-band frequency-averaged vibrational responses of built-up structures. However, in low- to medium frequency ranges, the dynamic responses obtained by PFA represent broad-band frequency-averaged vibrational energy densities. For the prediction of vibrational response variance in Power Flow Finite Element Method (PFFEM), the variances of input power and joint element matrix describing structural coupling relationship are derived. Finally, for the validity of developed formulation, numerical examples for two co-planer plates are performed and the vibrational response variance of the structure are compared with the results of classical and PFFEM solutions.

A new algorithm using 1-dimensional wavelet transform for autofocusing of optical instrument has been developed. Previous studies based on the conventional frequency analysis have shown that as the lens-object distance approaches the optimum value, the high frequency energy in the corresponding image shows a consistent increase. However, as conventional frequency analysis techniques hide spatial distribution of each band energy, shape information in the original signal cannot be easily utilized. In this paper, a newly devised wavelet based focus measuring scheme is presented. Unlike other frequency domain analysis techniques that simply produce "frequency-only" spectra, wavelet analysis provides a "time-frequency" localized view of a given signal. As a result, both frequency band filtering and spatial distribution filtering can easily be realized. Depending on the proposed focus quality measuring algorithm, a fast and reliable automatic focus adjustment of optical devices could be implemented.

Recently, image and voice processing part is using wavelet transform. We propose thining algorithm using wavelet tranform. Wavelet transform consists of low frequency and high frequency in the spatial and frequency domain. After the wavelet decomposition, more than 90 percents of energy are contained in lowest frequency band. Therefor, for images with large difference of gray value between foreground and background like character images, we can more accurately in the lowest frequency band. Lowest frequency band has wavelet transform significant coefficient(WTS) that is required for the thinning algorithm we proposed Paper [3][5][7][8] can not separate consonants and vowels of korean characters. Becuase korean characters have structural feature. This paper can separate consonants and vowels. Simulation executed low frequency image and data compression can reduce 1/4$^{n}$ with level n. we can redcue time complexity 3/8.

The cause for the variation of the initial permeability according to the Co substitution of Ni-Zn ferrite used in the LC resonance filter for the power line communication is studied. The initial permeability decreases as the quantity of Co diminishes, and the saturation magnetization increases as the quantity increases. Because the sintering density and the microstructure of ferrite show little change, the variation of the initial permeability can't be explained by the density, microstructure nor the saturation magnetization factor. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy increases, similar with the saturation magnetization, as the quantity of Co increases. The increase of magnetocrystalline anisotropy value makes the domain wall energy grow, which leads to the decrease of the initial permeability, because there's linear law between the magnetocrystalline anisotropy and the domain wall energy. The resonance frequency to Co substitution moved to high frequency band, due to the close relationship with domain wall energy, Initial permeability decreaed a little with an increase of Co contents, but resonace frequency moved to high frequency band. as a result of that, when Co was added 0.05 mol, initial permeability and resonace frequency was 75 and 25 MHz respectively.
