외부 긴장재를 이용한 보강공법은 효과적인 보강기술의 하나로써 연구되고 있으며 그 적용사례가 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 강합성 교량의 내하력 향상을 위해 외부 긴장재의 초기 긴장력 결정 방법을 제안하였다. 긴장재의 배치 형상과 재하되는 활하중의 종류에 따른 증가 프리스트레스력 계산식을 구하여 강합성보의 보강효과를 수치적으로 분석하였다. 증가 프리스트레스력을 고려한 내하율 산정 방법을 제안하여 긴장재 개수와 초기 긴장력의 계산 방법을 제시하였다. 제안된 방법을 실교량에 적용하여 합리성을 보였다.

The design and performance analysis of a reduced rating autotransformer based thirty-pulse AC-DC converter is carried out for feeding a vector controlled induction motor drive (VCIMD). The configuration of the proposed autotransformer consists of only two single phase transformers, with their windings connected in a T-shape, resulting in simplicity in design, manufacturing and in a reduction in magnetics rating. The design procedure of the autotransformer along with the newly designed interphase transformer is presented. The proposed configuration has flexibility in varying the transformer output voltage ratios as required. The design of the autotransformer can be modified for retrofit applications, where presently a 6-pulse diode bridge rectifier is used. The proposed thirty-pulse AC-DC converter is capable of suppressing less than $29^{th}$ harmonics in the supply current. The power factor is also improved to near unity in the wide operating range of the drive. A comparison of different power quality indices at AC mains and DC bus is demonstrated in a conventional 6-pulse AC-DC converter and the proposed AC-DC converter feeding a VCIMD. A laboratory prototype of the proposed autotransformer based 30-pulse AC-DC converter was developed with test results validating the proposed design and system.

대부분의 선진국에서 교량의 유지보수 및 보강(Maintenance Repair & Rehabilitation-MR&R)으로 인한 비용은 해마다 증가하고 있다. 전산화된 교량유지관리 및 의사결정시스템(Bridge Management System-BMS)은 가능한 최저의 생애주기비용(Life Cycle Cost - LCC)에 최적의 안정성를 확보하기 위해 개발되었다. 본 논문에서는 제한된 현존하는 교량진단기록을 이용하여 현존하지 않는 과거의 교량상태등급 데이타를 생성하기 위해 Backward Prediction Model(BPM)이라 불리는 인공신경망(Artificial Neural Network-ANN)에 기초한 예측모델을 제시한다. 제안된 BPM은 한정된 교량 정기점검기록으로부터 현존하는 교량진단기록과 연관성을 확립하기 위해 교통량과 인구, 그리고 기후 등과 같은 비구조적 요소를 이용하며, 제한된 교량진단기록과 비구조적 요소 사이에 맺어진 연관성을 통해 현존하지 않는 과거의 교량상태등급 데이타를 생성할 수 있다. BPM의 신뢰도를 측정하기 위하여 Maryland DOT로 부터 얻어진 National Bridge Inventory(NBI)와 BMS 교량진단자료를 이용하였다. 이중 NBI자료를 이용한 Backward comparison 에 있어서 실제 NBI기록과 BPM으로 생성된 교량상태등급과의 차이(상판: 6.68%, 상부구조부: 6.61%, 하부구조부: 7.52%)는 BPM으로 생성된 결과의 높은 신뢰도를 보여준다. 이 연구의 결과는 제한된 정기점검 기록으로 야기되는 BMS의 장기 교량손상 예측에 관련된 사용상의 문제를 최소화하고 전반적인 BMS 결과의 신뢰도를 높이는데 기여 할 수 있다.

A new welding machine which adopts zero voltage and zero current switching(ZVZCS) full bridge(FB) DC-DC converter is proposed. The proposed ZVZCS FB DC-DC converter uses auxiliary transformer to obtain ZCS for leading leg. It has capability of controlling load current even in short circuit condition and is suitable for arc welding machines. The power rating of the auxiliary transformer is about one 5th to one 10th of the main transformer. Experimental results for 10KW prototype are shown to verify the principle of operation.

The condition assessment of bridges is one of the important procedures in the safety evaluation of the structures. The current inspection guideline is rather ambiguous and vague so that the inspection results based on the existing guidelines are highly subjective and varing from person to person and even day to day for a given person. It is therefore, necessary to improve the current inspection criteria in order to provide consistent results in safety assessment. To circumvent possible inconsistencies in inspection and rating of bridge components, the revised criteria have been proposed in this study. The proposed guideline and criteria may be efficiently used for the realistic and consistent assessment of bridge structures.

The SIT, a Static Induction Transistor, is a semiconductor switch that is also called the power junction field-effect transistor (power JFET). Its characteristics are similar to a MOSFET except that its power level is higher and its maximum frequency of operation is lower. The normal method to protect against internal circuit transients of the form of di/dt or dv/dt is the use of snubber circuits. However, the limits of di/dt and dv/dt are high enough for the SIT that it is possible to operate without snubber circuits. SITs can be connected in parallel in order to cope with higher load currents that the value of an individual device rating. The purpose of this study is to investigate the parallel operation of SITs. In this experiment, we used a half-bridge inverter, the output of inverter is up to almost 1MHz and 2kW. Experimental results show that the operation of parallel connected SITs are facilitated individually good current sharing. The reason is the positive temperature coefficient of resistance of the SIT.

Multilevel power conversion technology has received increasing attention recently for high power applications. The converters with the technology are suitable for high voltage and high power applications due to their ability to synthesize waveforms with better harmonic spectrum and apply for the high voltage equipment with a limited voltage rating of device. In the family of multilevel inverters, the topologies based on cascaded H-bridges are particularly attractive because of their modularity and simplicity of control. This paper presents multilevel inverter with cascaded H-bridge for large-power motor drives. The main features of this drive 1) reduce harmonic injection 2) can generate near-sinusoidal voltages, 3) have almost no common-mode voltage; 4) are low dv/dt at output voltage; 5)do not generate significant over-voltage on motor terminal; The topology of the developed product is presented and the feasibility study of the inverter on 3300v 1MVA 7-level H-bridge type was tarried out with experiments.

본 논문에서는 새로운 비대칭 PWM 제어 방식의 양방향 하프브리지 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안한 컨버터는 구조가 간단하고 넓은 듀티 범위를 가지므로 연료전지와 같은 넓은 전압변동을 가지는 응용에 적합하다. 제안한 비대칭 PWM 방식은 기존의 위상각제어 방식에 비해 스위치 및 변압기의 동작전류를 큰 폭으로 낮추었고 ZVZCS와 동기 정류 방식을 적용하여 높은 효율과 전력밀도를 가질 수 있다. 기존 컨버터와의 비교 분석을 수행하였으며 실험을 통해 본 방식의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Input-series-output-parallel (ISOP) connected DC-DC converters enable low voltage rating switches to be used in high voltage input applications. In this paper, a DSP is adopted to generate digital phase-shifted PWM signals and to fulfill the closed-loop control function for ISOP connected two full-bridge DC-DC converters. Moreover, a stable output current sharing control strategy is proposed for the system, with which equal sharing of the input voltage and the load current can be achieved without any input voltage control loops. Based on small signal analysis with the state space average method, a loop gain design with the proposed scheme is made. Compared with the conventional IVS scheme, the proposed strategy leads to simplification of the output voltage regulator design and better static and dynamic responses. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by the simulation and experimental results of an ISOP system made up of two full-bridge DC-DC converters.

Conventionally, in order to reduce the ac components of the dc-link capacitors of the two-level Half-Bridge Voltage Source Inverter (HB-VSI), high dc-link capacitances are required. This necessitates the employment of short-lifetime and bulky electrolytic capacitors. In this paper, an analysis for the performance of low dc-link capacitances-based HB-VSI is presented to elucidate its ability to generate an enhanced fundamental output voltage magnitude without increasing the voltage rating of the involved switches. This feature is constrained by the load displacement factor. The introduced enhancement is due to the ac components of the capacitors' voltages. The presented approach can be employed for multi-phase systems through using multi single-phase HB-VSI(s). Mathematical analysis of the proposed approach is presented in this paper. To ensure a successful operation of the proposed approach, a closed loop current controller is examined. An expression for the critical dc-link capacitance, which is the lowest dc-link capacitance that can be employed for unipolar capacitors' voltages, is derived. Finally, simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the proposed claims.
