Sine 보간법을 이용한 PSAM은 Cavers의 최적 Wiener 필터를 사용한 알고리즘보다 구현은 간단하면서 채널추정 성능은 거의 동일하다. 그러나 이 알고리즘은 window 함수와 같이 사용해야만 우수한 채널추정 성능을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존의 sine 보간법 (conventional sine interpolation : CSI) 의 단점을 보완한 수정된 sine 보간법 (modified sine interpolation : MSI) 을 제안한다. MSI 알고리즘의 성능평가를 위해 다중반송파 QAM 시스템과 주파수 선택성 페이딩을 고려한 최적 프레엄구조를 사용하였다. 성능평가에서 window 함수를 사용하지 않은 MSI 알고리즘은 더 적은 수의 파일럿 심볼을 사용하면서도, window 함수를 사용한 CSI 알고리즘과 거의 동일한 BER 성능을 보였다. 아울러, window 함수를 사용한 MSI 알고리즘의 성능은 PSAM을 적용한 이론적인 16QAM의 성능과 거의 일치하였다.

With the advent of electric power systems moving from a vertically integrated structure to a deregulated environment, calculating reactive power service charges has become a new and challenging theme for market operators. This paper examines various methods for reactive power management adopted throughout various deregulated foreign and domestic markets and then proposes an innovative method to calculate reactive power service charges using a reactive power market in a wholesale electricity market. The reactive power market is operated based on bids from the generating sources and it settles on uniform prices by running the reactive OPF programs of the day-ahead electricity market. The proposed method takes into account recovering not only the costs of installed capacity but also the lost opportunity costs incurred by reducing active power output to increase reactive power production. Based on the result of the reactive OPF program, the generators that produce reactive power within the obligatory range do not make payments whereas the generators producing reactive power beyond the obligatory range receive compensation by the price determined in the market. A numerical sample study is carried out to illustrate the processes and appropriateness of the proposed method.

Using impedance matching techniques as a way to increase system power transferability in capacitive wireless power transmission has been widely investigated in conventional studies. However, these techniques tend to increase the circuit volume and thus counterbalance the advantage of the simplicity in the energy link structure. In this paper, a compact circuit topology with one leakage-enhanced transformer is proposed in order to minimize the circuit volume for the capacitive power transfer system. This topology achieves a reactive compensation, and the system quality factor value can be reduced by the turn ratio. As a result, this topology not only reduces the overall system volume but also minimizes the voltage stress of the link capacitor. An optimal design guideline for the leakage-enhanced transformer is also presented. The advantages of the proposed scheme over the conventional method in terms of power efficiency and circuit volume are revealed through an analytic comparison. The feasibility of applying the new topology is also verified by conducting 50 W hardware tests.

연료전지 시스템은 가스양 등 연료전지의 입력조건 변동 시, 또는 부하 변동 시와 같은 외부적인 영향에 의해서 과도상태 전압 왜란이 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 연료전지 출력전압의 왜란 보상을 위해 Z-소스 인버터와 울트라커패시터를 포함한 다양한 연료전지 시스템 회로방식을 제안하였다. Z-소스 인버터의 구조는 매우 간단하며 DC/DC 컨버터의 사용 없이 스위칭 패턴만을 제어하여 전압을 승/강압 할 수 있는 특징을 갖고 있다. 2-소스 인버터와 울트라커패시터를 포함하여 제안된 여러 가지 회로방식을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 특성을 분석하고 실험을 통하여 확인하였으며, 제안된 시스템이 전압 왜란에 대해 안정된 응답을 갖는 것을 확인하였다.

A modified direct torque control (DTC) method based on torque angle is proposed for interior permanent-magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drivers used in electric vehicles (EVs). Given the close relationship between torque and torque angle, proper voltage vectors are selected by the proposed DTC method to change the torque angle rapidly and regulate the torque quickly. The amplitude and angle of the voltage vectors are determined by the torque loop and stator flux-linkage loop, respectively, with the help of the position of the stator flux linkage. Furthermore, to satisfy the torque performance request of EVs, the nonlinear dead-time of the invertor caused by parasitic capacitances is considered and compensated to improve steady torque performance. The stable operation region of the IPMSM DTC driver for voltage and current limits is investigated for reliability. The experimental results prove that the proposed DTC has good torque performance with a brief control structure.

The purpose of this work is to develop the FES controller that can cope with the muscle fatigue which is one of the most important problems of current FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation). The feasibility of the proposed FES controller was evaluated by simulation. We used a fitness function to describe the effect of muscle fatigue and recovery process. The FES control system was developed based on the biological neuronal system. Specifically, we used PD (Proportional and Derivative) and GC (Gravity Compensation) control, which was described by the neuronal feedback structure. It was possible to control of multiple joints and muscles by using the phase-based PD and GC control method and the static optimization. As a result, the proposed FES control system could maintain the cycling motion in spite of the muscle fatigue. It is expected that the proposed FES controller will play an important role in the rehabilitation of SCI patient.

Most of hard disk drives currently employ fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) for their rotor support. Stiffness of the FDB is affected by many design factors such as bearing clearance, fluid viscosity, and rotational speed. For the high rotating speed HDDs stiffness of the rotor is normally high enough to accomodate load disturbances. However small form factor HDDs that are to be operated in low power consumption are often designed with low stiffness rotors. Although the low stiffness rotor clearly benefits low power operation, it could damage the entire motor structure or head disk interface even by a light mechanical load disturbance such as shock or vibration. In addition, since a single channel HDD does not provide gram load equilibrium in axial direction the rotor could be tilted and make a hard contact to stator. A non-symmetric groove pattern could successfully compensate the tilted rotor angle during operation.

Exposing plant organs to high doses of ionizing irradiation, penetrating into the plant tis-sues and cells, along the track structure of particles, lesions, and sublesions are formed on the molecules and organelles. As a result, disorders in the growth and development as well as chlorophyll-deficiency symptoms occur. The time scale of their reparation, recovery and over compensation during ontogenesis, constitutes a question of high theoretical and practical importanced, with special regard to nuclear fallout. With an aim to model the “ut supra”stated phenomena, the seeds of bean, Echo elit licensed variety, were irradiated by 300 Gy dose of X-ray-irradiation (120 kV:4.5 mA). According to the data obtained, the biosynthesis of photosynthetic pigments, will have been completed by the beginning of flowering. In consequence of the overcompensation of the repairing processes, the organs of plants developed from irradiated seeds, showed a partly differing correlative growth, compared to those of control plants. In order to characterize the vivo response of radiation-injured plants, a new method and approach were used. The changes of the electric capacitance of the plants during their ontogenesis, were continously monitored and recorede via a computer-aided and controlled measurement. In view of the data collected in such a way, the repairing plants may respond more quickly and intensively to the changes of environmental factors.

This study proposes a laser based impedance measurement system and impedance based pipe corrosion and bolt-loosening monitoring techniques under temperature variations. For impedance measurement, the laser based impedance measurement system is optimized and adopted in this paper. First, a modulated laser beam is radiated to a photodiode, converting the laser beam into an electric signal. Then, the electric signal is applied to a MFC transducer attached on a target structure for ultrasonic excitation. The corresponding impedance signals are measured, re-converted into a laser beam, and radiated back to the other photodiode located in a data interrogator. The transmitted impedance signals are treated with an outlier analysis using generalized extreme value (GEV) statistics to reliably signal off structural damage. Validation of the proposed technique is carried out to detect corrosion and bolt-loosening in lab-scale carbon steel elbow pipes under varying temperatures. It has been demonstrated that the proposed technique has a potential to be used for structural health monitoring (SHM) of pipe structures.

Interior permanent-magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) produce both magnetic and reluctance torques. The reluctance torque is due to the difference between the d- and q-axis inductances based on the geometric rotor structure. The steady-state performance analysis and precise control of the IPMSMs greatly depend on the accurate determination of the parameters. The three essential parameters of the IPMSMs are the armature flux linkage of the permanent magnet, the d-axis inductance, and the q-axis inductance. In the basic design step of an IPMSM, the inductance parameters are very important for determining the motor characteristics, such as the input voltage, torque, and efficiency. Thus, it is very important to accurately estimate the values of the motor inductances. The inductance parameters of IPMSMs have nonlinear characteristics along the magnet size because the iron core is saturated by the magnet and armature reaction fluxes. In this study, the inductance parameters were calculated using both the magnetic-equivalent-circuit method and the finite-element method (FEM). Then the calculated parameters were compensated by the saturation coefficient function, which was also calculated via the magnetic-equivalent-circuit method and FEM.
