This paper investigates the output powers of PV modules by predicting three unknown parameters: reverse saturation current, and series and shunt resistances. A theoretical model using the non-uniform physical parameters of solar cells, including the temperature coefficients, voltage, current, series and shunt resistances, is proposed to obtain the I-V characteristics of PV modules. The solar irradiation effect is included in the model to improve the accuracy of the output power. Analytical and Newton methods are implemented in MATLAB to calculate a module output. Experimental data of the non-uniform solar cells for both serial and parallel connections are used to extend the implementation of the model based on the I-V equation of the equivalent circuit of the cells and to extend the application of the model to m by n modules configuration. Moreover, the theoretical model incorporates, for the first time, the variations of series and shunt resistances, reverse saturation current and irradiation for easy implementation in real power generation. Finally, this model can be useful in predicting the degradation of a PV system because of evaluating the variations of series and shunt resistances, which are critical in the reliability analysis of PV power generation.

This article describes the characteristics of nondispersive infrared carbon dioxide gas sensor according to the temperatures and humidifies. In this researches, a thermopile sensor that included application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) was used and the White-cell structure was implemented as an optical waveguide. The developed sensor modules were installed in gas chamber and then the temperature of gas chamber has been increased from 283 K to 313 K with 10K temperature step. In order to analyze the effects of humidity levels, the relative humidity levels were changed from 30 to 80%R.H. with small humidifier. Then, the characteristics of sensor modules were acquired with the increment of carbon dioxide concentrations from 0 to 2,000 ppm. When the initial voltages of sensors were compared before and after humidifying the chamber at constant temperature, the decrements of the output voltages of sensors are like these: 9mV (reference infrared sensor), 41 mV (carbon dioxide sensor), 2 mV (temperature sensor). With the increment of ambient temperature, the averaged output voltage of carbon dioxide sensor was increased 19 mV, however, when the humidity level was increased, it was decreased 14mV. Based upon the experimental results, the humidity effect could be alleviated by the increment of temperature, so the effects of humidity and temperature could be only compensated by the ambient temperature itself. The estimated carbon dioxide concentrations showed 10% large errors below 200 ppm, however, the errors of the estimations of carbon dioxide concentrations were less than ${\pm}5%$ from 400 to 2,000 ppm.

This paper presents the dynamic analysis and control loop design of a zero voltage switching full bridge (ZVS-FB) PWM DC/DC converter. The small-signal model is derived incorporating the effects of phase shift control and the utilization of transformer leakage inductance and power FET junction capacitance to achieve zero voltage resonant switching. These effects are modeled by introducing additional feedforward and feedback terms for duty cycle modulation. Based on the results of the small-signal analysis, the control loop is designed using a simple two-pole one-zero compensation circuit. To show the validity of the design procedures, the small signal analysis of the closed loop system is carried out and the potential of the zero voltage switching and the superiority of the dynamic characteristics are verified through the experiment with a 2 kW prototype converter.

In the extra and ultra high voltage system, the coupling capacitor voltage transformer (CCVT) measures the primary voltage with a small scale of voltage transformer (VT). However, the CCVT generates errors caused by the hysteresis characteristics of iron core and by the ferroresonance, inevitably. This paper proposes a compensation algorithm for the secondary voltage of a CCVT considering the hysteresis characteristics of an iron core. The proposed algorithm calculates the seconda교 current of a VT by summing the current flowing the ferroresonance circuit and the burden current; it estimates the secondary voltage of a VT; then the core flux is calculated by integrating of the secondary voltage of a VT, then estimates the exciting current using ${\lambda}-i$ characteristic of the core. The method calculates a primary voltage of a VT considering the estimated primary current. Finally, the correct voltage is estimated by compensating the voltage across the inductor and capacitor. The performance of the proposed algorithm was tested in a 345kV transmission system. The test results show that the proposed method can improve the accuracy of the seconda교 voltage of a CCVT.

In satellite communication, modulated beacon signal is spreaded by gold sequence and the modulated beacon is transmitted via linear phase modulation. Due to the difference in characteristics of the satellite and the receiver on the ground, frequency offset (FO) occurs. An existing modulated beacon receiver is a method of synchronizing the frequency of a modulated beacon signal using FFT(Fast Fourier Transform), which not only increases the delay and complexity in terms of system implementation but also has a separate circuit for compensating the phase difference due to FO and phase offset from FFT points. In order to overcome this problem, this paper proposes and analyzes a scheme for compensating and demodulating the coarse FO and phase offset at one time using the 2-phase shaped characteristics of the modulated beacon signal. Also, through the simulation, the modulation index suitable for the proposed method is analyzed and the appropriate cumulative number is also analyzed.

In this paper, we propose a high frequency boosting circuits compensating for age-related hearing loss. The frequency response of this hearing loss is quite similar to that of a low-pass filter of which the critical frequency get lower with age. Therefore the voltage gain of this compensation circuits increase proportionally to the frequency of signals when the frequency is higher than the critical frequency and the voltage is constant irrespective of the frequency of signals when the frequency is lower than the critical frequency. The proposed circuits consist of a differential circuit and a unity gain amplifier. Because the critical frequency of the proposed circuits is controlled simply in the shape of a volume control lever, the aged people can adjust the high frequency boosting level easily according to one's hearing loss level. The critical frequency is continuously controllable in the whole audible frequency band and the gain of this high frequency boosting circuits is above 80dB at 10kHz.

This paper presents a novel multiple orthogonal subcarrier modulation based UHF band RFID communication system. In tag-to-reader communication, the demonstration system can deliver 1.6 Mbps through four subcarriers. To improve data rate while suppressing increase in circuit complexity, tag employs square-waves as the subcarriers and uses individual load modulators for each subcarrier. By using multiple orthogonal subcarrier based modulation, proposed communication system can be operated under existing UHF band RFID regulation. In reader, an OFDM demodulator is used. Since the tag backscatters the reader's CW carrier, carrier frequency offset compensation is not necessary in reader demodulator. Experimental results show that the demonstration system achieves a bit error rate of 10-5 at an Eb/N0 of 10.8 dB.

In this paper, the baseband filter is proposed in order to maintain a constant sensitivity regardless of distances for 77 GHz automotive radar system. Using existing DCOC loop circuit can remove DC offset and also cancel differences of received power depending on the distance. Measured results show that the maximum gain is 51 dB and high pass cutoff frequency can be tuned from 5 kHz to 15 kHz. The slope of high pass filter can be tuned from -10 to -40 dB/decade for the distance compensation. The measured NF and IIP3 are 26 dB and +4.5 dBm with 4.3 mA at 1.0 V supply voltage, respectively. The fabricated die size $500{\mu}m{\times}1,050{\mu}m$ excluding the in/out pads.

In this paper, We implement a power-saving and efficient measures in buildings using the smart-meter. In order to save electric power energy, We propose an improved automatic power-factor controller(APFC) and demand control measures. This is achieved by controlling directly circuit breakers and the capacitor bank feeders in real time via a two-way smart-meter's ICT skills. Improved APFC is minimizing installation costs by series-parallel connecting heterologous capacitors to form a more diverse capacitor banking and controlling using the smart-meter. In order to suppress the demand power, We have designed a smart-meter with communication functions using Atmel's AVR465 and tested an operated lodging building for 24-hours. As a result, We made sure to always retained more than 95% power factor and did not occur over compensation.
