본 논문은 리튬이온 (Li-ion) 셀을 채용한 인공위성용 전력계의 개념 설계에 대하여 기술한다. 기존의 니켈카드뮴 (NiCd) 셀과 비교할 때, 리튬이온 (Li-ion) 셀은 에너지 밀도, 무게 그리고 부피에서 큰 잇점을 갖고 있다. 니켈카드뮴 (NiCd) 셀의 평균 출력전압은 +1.2V이며, 리튬이온 (Li-ion) 셀의 출력전압은 +3.6V이다. 그러나, 리튬이온 (Li-ion) 셀의 충전과 방전에 있어서의 절차는 기존의 니켈카드뮴 (NiCd) 셀 보다는 어렵다. 따라서, 리튬이온 (Li-ion) 셀의 충전과 방전 시에는 각각의 셀에 대하여 충전 전압과 방전 전압을 검침하고 제어를 해주어야 하므로 별도의 제어 회로가 요구된다. 따라서, 본 논문을 통하여 리튬이온 (Li-ion) 셀을 채용한 전력계의 설계 시 고려하여야 할 사항 및 리튬이온 (Li-ion) 셀의 충방전 특성에 대한 연구 결과를 제시하고자 한다.

Many equalization circuits have been proposed to improve pack performance and reduce imbalance. Although bidirectional equalization topologies are promising in these methods, pre-equalization global equalization strategy is lacking. This study proposes a novel state-of-charge (SoC) equalization algorithm for bidirectional equalizer based on particle swarm optimization (PSO), which is employed to find optimal equalization time and steps. The working principle of bidirectional equalization topologies is analyzed, and the reason behind the application of SoC as a balancing criterion is explained. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, a pack with 12 LiFePO4 batteries is applied in the experiment. Results show that the maximum SoC gap is within 2% after equalization, and the available pack capacity is enhanced by 13.2%. Furthermore, a comparison between previously used methods and the proposed PSO equalization algorithm is presented. Experimental tests are performed, and results show that the proposed PSO equalization algorithm requires fewer steps and is superior to traditional methods in terms of equalization time, energy loss, and balancing performance.

Welding machines are high-capacity systems used in a low-frequency range using IGBT. As their system is similar to a large transformer, most welding machines suffer a great loss because of hard switching and vast leakage inductance. A voltage-balancing circuit is designed to overcome these shortcomings. This circuit can reduce the transformer size by making it into a high frequency and reducing the input voltage by half and by adopting a serial structure that connects two full-bridges in a series to use a MOSFET with a good property at high frequency. In addition, a Schottky diode is used in the primary rectifier to overcome the low efficiency of most welding machines. To use the Schottky diode with a reliably relatively low withstanding voltage, an active snubber is adopted to effectively limit the ringing voltage of the diode cut-off voltage.

And it proposes an method of the functions implementation and control algorithm of the BMS for flow battery. Functions of BMS include temperature control, the charge and discharge control, flow control, level control, state of charge(SOC) estimation and a battery protection through the sensor signal of BOP. Functions of BMS is implemented by the sensor signal, so it is recognized as a very important factor measurement accuracy of the data. Therefore, measuring a mechanical signal(flow rate, temperature, level) through the BOP test model, and the measuring an electrical signal(cell voltage, stack voltage and stack current) through the VRFB charge-discharge system and analyzes the precision of data in this paper. Also it shows a good charge-discharge test results by the SOC estimation algorithm of VRFB. Proposed BOP configuration and BMS functions implementation can be used as a reference indicator for VRFB system design.

A cascaded H-bridge multi-level STATCOM(STATic synchronous COMpensator), which is composed of many cell inverters with independent dc-sources, generates inevitably dc-side voltage unbalance among phases when it compensates unbalanced load. It comes from the difference of flowing active power in each phase when this compensator makes negative-sequence current to eliminate the unbalance of source-side current. However, this unbalance can be controlled by injecting zero-sequence current which is decoupled with grid currents, so the compensator can work well during this balancing process. Both a feedback control algorithm, which produces zero-sequence current proportional to dc-side voltage unbalance within each phase, and a feedforward control algorithm, which makes zero-sequence current directly from the compensator's negative-sequence current, were proposed. The dc-side voltage of each phase can be controlled stably by these proposed algorithms in both steady-state and transient, so the compensator can have fast response to satisfy control performance under rapid changing load. These balancing controllers were implemented and verified via simulation and experiment.

본 논문은 다중 권선 결합 인덕터를 이용한 능동 셀 밸런싱 회로의 밸런싱 속도를 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 동작 모드를 제안한다. 다중 권선 결합 인덕터를 사용한 능동 셀 밸런싱 회로는 두 셀이 하나의 결합 인덕터 권선을 공유하며, 셀과 결합 인덕터 사이의 연결을 제어하기 위해 셀당 하나의 스위치가 사용된다. 이 회로는 비교적 높은 전압을 갖는 소스 셀에 저장된 에너지를 결합 인덕터에 저장한 뒤, 그 에너지를 목표 셀로 전달하는 방식으로 셀 밸런싱을 수행한다. 하지만, 회로 구조상서로 다른 권선을 공유하고, 동일한 위치에 연결된 셀 간 밸런싱을 수행할 경우, 두 번의 에너지 전달 과정을 통해 목표 셀로 에너지가 전달 되게 된다. 이는 에너지 전달 경로를 증가시키므로 회로의 효율과 셀 밸런싱 속도를 크게 저하시킨다. 본 논문은 위의 셀 조건에서 에너지 전달 경로를 단축시켜 셀 밸런싱 속도를 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 동작 모드를 제안한다. 새로운 동작 모드 성능은 15W급 시작품을 이용하여 검증되었다.

In this paper, the cell balance of secondary battery using a large number of MOSFETs is discussed. We can balance the cells by controlling battery charging current with help of MOSFETs. If the cells are not balanced, we can not use the whole energy of the battery while charging and discharging, therefore, the energy efficiency is decreased. To increase the energy efficiency, we propose the MOSFET control algorithm which will perform cell balancing by controlling the charging current.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has greatly advanced our understanding of cellular heterogeneity by profiling individual cell transcriptomes. However, cell dissociation from the tissue structure causes a loss of spatial information, which hinders the identification of intercellular communication networks and global transcriptional patterns present in the tissue architecture. To overcome this limitation, novel transcriptomic platforms that preserve spatial information have been actively developed. Significant achievements in imaging technologies have enabled in situ targeted transcriptomic profiling in single cells at single-molecule resolution. In addition, technologies based on mRNA capture followed by sequencing have made possible profiling of the genome-wide transcriptome at the 55-100 ㎛ resolution. Unfortunately, neither imaging-based technology nor capture-based method elucidates a complete picture of the spatial transcriptome in a tissue. Therefore, addressing specific biological questions requires balancing experimental throughput and spatial resolution, mandating the efforts to develop computational algorithms that are pivotal to circumvent technology-specific limitations. In this review, we focus on the current state-of-the-art spatially resolved transcriptomic technologies, describe their applications in a variety of biological domains, and explore recent discoveries demonstrating their enormous potential in biomedical research. We further highlight novel integrative computational methodologies with other data modalities that provide a framework to derive biological insight into heterogeneous and complex tissue organization.

Genomic instability and altered metabolism are key features of most cancers. Recent studies suggest that metabolic reprogramming is part of a systematic response to cellular DNA damage. Thus, defining the molecules that fine-tune metabolism in response to DNA damage will enhance our understanding of molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis and have profound implications for the development of strategies for cancer therapy. Sirtuins have been established as critical regulators in cellular homeostasis and physiology. Here, we review the emerging data revealing a pivotal function of sirtuins in genome maintenance and cell metabolism, and highlight current advances about the phenotypic consequences of defects in these critical regulators in tumorigenesis. While many questions should be addressed about the regulation and context-dependent functions of sirtuins, it appears clear that sirtuins may provide a promising, exciting new avenue for cancer therapy.
