A novel piezoelectric micropump using active check valves in place of conventional passive check valves in inlet and outlet has been proposed and investigated. It actively controls open/close motion of check valves using piezoelectric actuator for expansion/contraction of pump chamber. In this paper, bi-directional flow characteristics and load characteristics are experimentally investigated using an adequate timing control for valve closing motion with a prototype micropump fabricated with the effective size of $17{\times}8{\times}11mm^{3}$. From the experimental results, it is ascertained that optimal values of phase shift against voltage to drive pump chamber for realization of a miniaturized but powerful micropump, are $15^{\circ}$ in inlet check valve and $195^{\circ}$ in outlet. Based on the obtained results, a sheet-type active shuttle valve that has a unified valve-body for inlet and outlet check valves is proposed. A micropump with the effective size of $10{\times}10{\times}10mm^{3}$ is fabricated and basic characteristics are experimentally investigated.

최근 배전계통은 정부의 녹색성장 정책으로 태양광, 풍력발전 등과 같은 분산전원의 보급률이 지속적으로 증가되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 분산전원의 연계로 기존 배전계통의 조류흐름은 단방향(One-direction)에서 양방향(Bi-direction)으로 변화되고, 고장전류의 증 감이 발생하는 등, 다양한 변화가 생겨 배전계통의 운용상에 여러 가지 문제점들이 발생할 가능성이 커지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 분산전원의 배전계통 연계에 따른 보호기기의 정정 및 양방향 보호협조 검토가 가능한 보호협조 평가알고리즘과 실제의 사고전류 값을 이용한 개선된 T-C곡선 알고리즘을 제안하고, 이 알고리즘을 바탕으로 양방향 보호협조 평가시스템을 개선하였다. 또한 평가시스템을 이용하여 배전계통을 모델링하고, 분산전원 연계 시 보호기기들 간의 보호협조를 검토하여, 분산전원이 연계된 경우 배전계통에 발생할 수 있는 기술적인 문제점들을 분석하여 그 방안을 제시하였다.

The typical hydraulic hoisting system of the rack-bar type sluice gate is composed of a hydraulic supply unit using an uni-directional pump, a direction control valve, a hydraulic motor, a counter balance valve, and flow control valves. Here, the hydrostatic transmission is applied to the hoisting system of rack-bar type sluice gate to simplify the operation of gate such that the upward and downward direction of gate is simply controlled by the direction of pump rotation. The new hydraulic hoisting system is composed of a bi-directional pump, a hydraulic motor, two counter balance valves, two check valves, two pilot-operated check valves, two relief valves and a shuttle valve. The characteristics of a suggested system are analyzed by computer simulations.

Battery heat management is essential for high power and high energy battery system because it affects its performance, longevity, and safety. In this paper, we investigated the temperature of the 18650 Lithium Ion Battery Module used in a Energy Storage System (ESS) and the cooling method to minimize cell-to-cell temperature variation of battery module. For uniform temperature distribution within a battery module, the flow direction of the coolant in a battery module has been changed according to the time interval, and studied the effect of the cooling method on the temperature uniformity in a battery module which includes a number of battery cells. The experimental results show that bi-directional battery cooling method can effectively reduce the cell-to-cell temperature variation compared with the one-directional battery cooling. Furthermore, it is also found that bi-directional battery cooling can reduce the maximum temperature in a battery module.

While the matrix converter has many advantages that include bi-directional power flow, a size reduction, a long lifetime, and sinusoidal input currents, it is vulnerable to the input voltage disturbances, because it directly exchanges the input voltage to the output voltage. So, in this paper, a critical evaluation of the effect of various abnormal voltage conditions like unbalanced power supply, balanced non-sinusoidal power supply, input voltage sags and short time blackout of power supply on matrix converter fed induction motor drives is presented. The operation under various abnormal conditions has been analyzed. For this, a 230V, 250VA three phase to three phase matrix converter (MC) fed induction motor drive prototype is implemented using DSP based controller and tests have been carried out to evaluate and improve the stability of system under typical abnormal conditions. Digital storage oscilloscope & power quality analyzer are used for experimental observations.

Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power are free and can be easily harvested everywhere. However, one of the biggest problems when using this kind of energy source is how to increase the efficiency of power conversion system. This paper introduces a modified 3-phase inverter in order to increase the power conversion efficiency. By adding 3 bi-directional switches at output of the inverter, the current flow back DC source during zero state is prevented to minimize leakage current, so that the efficiency of whole system is increased. The proposed topology also improves the power quality to satisfy the total harmonics distortion (THD) requirement. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed topology, simulation results are carried out using Simulink in MATLAB.

This paper describes numerical analysis of the impulse turbine with fixed guide vanes, a high performance bi-directional air turbine having simple structure for wave energy conversion. The numerical analysis of the 2-dimensional incompressible viscous flow based on the full Reynold-averaged Navier-Stokes equations which was made to investigate the internal flow behavior. Numerical results are compared with experimental data obtained by T.Setoguchi laboratory. As a result, as suitable choice of design factor has been clarified with the understanding of the internal flow from the numerical analysis.
