This paper proposes an integration of the ED-H scheduling algorithm, known for optimal real-time scheduling, with the LoRaEnergySim simulator. This integration facilitates the simulation of interactions between real-time scheduling algorithms for tasks with time constraints in Class-A LoRaWAN Class-A devices using a super-capacitor-based energy harvesting system. The time and energy characteristics of LoRaWAN status and state transitions are extracted in a log format, and the task model is structured to suit the time-slot-based ED-H scheduling algorithm. The algorithm is extended to perform tasks while satisfying time constraints based on CPU executions. To evaluate the proposed approach, the ED-H scheduling algorithm is executed on a set of tasks with varying time and energy characteristics and CPU occupancy rates ranging from 10% to 90%, under the same conditions as the LoRaEnergySim simulation results for packet transmission and reception. The experimental results confirmed the applicability of co-simulation by demonstrating that tasks are prioritized based on urgency without depleting the supercapacitor's energy to satisfy time constraints, depending on the scheduling algorithm.

A New ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) and ZVZCS(Zero Voltage and Zero Current Switching) Three-Level Converter is proposed. The proposed converter presented in this paper used a phase shift control with a flying capacitor in the primary side to achieve ZVS for the all switch. A primary auxiliary circuit, which consists of one coupled inductor, is added in the primary to provide ZVZCS conditions to primary switches. Many advantages including simple circuit topology high efficiency, and low cost make this converter attractive for high power applications. The principle of operation, feature and design considerations are illustrated and verified through the experiment with a 2kW(27V, 74A) 40 kHz IGBT based experimental circuit.

This paper analyses the power flow of a three-feeder/multi-bus distribution system by a custom Generalized Power Quality Conditioner (GUPQC). The GUPQC has been realized by three voltage source converters (VSCs) coupled back-to-back through a common DC-link capacitor on the DC-side. One feeder was controlled by the shunt compensator, whereas each of the other two feeders was controlled by the proposed novel series compensator. The GUPQC has the capability to simultaneously compensate voltage and current quality problems of a multi-bus/three-feeder distribution system. Besides that, the power can be transferred from one feeder to other feeders to compensate for poor power quality problems. Extensive simulation studies were carried out by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software to establish the ability of the GUPQC to improve power quality of the distribution systems under distorted supply voltage conditions.

High impedance fault(HIF) is defined as fault the general overcurrent relay can not detect or interrupt. Especially when HIF occur in residential areas, energized high voltage conductor results in fire hazard, equipment damage or personal threat. This paper proposes the model of the high impedance fault in transmission line using the ZnO arrester and resistance to be implemented within EMTP. The performance of the proposed model is tested on a typical 154[kV] korean transmission line system under various fault conditions. Wavelet transform is efficient and useful for the detection of high impedance fault in power system, because it uses variable windows according to frequency. In this paper, HIF detection method using wavelet transform can distinguish HIF form similar fault like arcfurance load, capacitor bank switching and line switching.

A new primary-side-assisted zero-voltage and zero-current switching (ZVZCS) three-level DC-DC converter with flying capacitor is proposed. The three-level converters are promising in high voltage applications, and ZVZCS is a very effective means for reducing switching losses. The proposed DC-DC converter uses only one auxiliary transformer and two diodes to obtain ZCS for the inner leg. It has a simple and robust structure, and offers soft-switching capability even in short-switching conditions. The proposed converter was verified by experiments in a 6KW prototype designed for communication applications and operating at 100kHz.

In general, it is known that the wear rate of the abrasive and the removal rate of the metal bond of the grinding wheel should be balanced to maintain the depth of the insulating surface layer to an appropriate level. In order to accomplish, the high quality ELID grinding, therefore, it is necessary to measure the depth of the insulating layer in real-time and then to control the electrolytic conditions to keep the depth to a certain level. In this study, an in-process measurement system of the insulated layer using two gap sensors - a capacitor type and an eddy current type - developed and the change of the status of the insulated layer during ELID grinding is detected. And from the experimental data, we have chosen the best mathematical model to predict the depth of the insulating layer.

The rapid and correct isolation of faulty submodules (SMs) is of great importance for improving the reliability of modular multilevel converters (MMCs). Therefore, a fast diagnosis method containing fault detection and fault location determination was presented in this paper. An improved incremental predictive model of arm current was proposed to detect failures, and the multi-step prediction method was used to eliminate the negative impact of disturbances. Moreover, a control method was proposed to strengthen the fault characteristics to rapidly locate faulty arms and faulty SMs by detecting the variation rate of the SM capacitor voltage. The proposed method can rapidly and easily locate faulty SMs under different load conditions without the need for additional sensors. The experimental results have validated the effectiveness of the proposed method by using a single-phase MMC with four SMs per arm.

The SBN thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode(Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si) using RF sputtering method at various deposition conditions. The capacitance of SBN thin films were increased with the increase of Ar/$O_2$ ratio and RF power, respectively. Also, The capacitance of SBN thin films were increased with the increase of deposition temperature.

A DC power system has many loads with various functions. In particular, these sizable loads take the form of power electronic converters. When they are tightly regulated, the loads appear as constant power loads and result in negative incremental input impedance. Under certain conditions the effect of such loads on the power system is causes instability. In this paper, converter with a large storage capacitor and a lag compensator is proposed as a DC bus conditioner to mitigate the voltage transients on the bus. In addition, the proposed control approach has the advantage of performing both the functions of mitigating the voltage bus transients and maintaining the level of energy stored. Simulation and experimental results showed that the proposed control method was operated well in a small-scale DC power system that contained subsystems with constant power characteristics, such as DC/DC converters and electrical drives.

A braking algorithm for a PM synchronous motor is presented. The resistance of the stator windings operates as a braking resistors and dissipates the regenerated power from the rotor without any braking components including the electronic power components and control circuits. The proposed braking algorithm maximizes the power dissipation in the stator windings and also generates the maximum braking torque under the limit conditions of DC link capacitor voltage and inverter currents so that it can minimize the braking time.
