The increase of power capacity in the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is essential for application into the power grid. To achieve this, when superconducting units were connected in series and parallel, the unbalanced quenching characteristics between superconducting units generated by different critical current behavior should be improved. In the transformer-type SFCL, the superconducting units connected in series could be simultaneously quenched by the connection of neutral lines between secondary coils and superconducting units. From this the consumed power in superconducting units was equally distributed. In addition, the more the turn ratio of the transformer was reduced, the more consumed power in the superconducting units was reduced by the decrease of the induction voltage generated in the superconducting units. From those results, the transformer-type SFCL using neutral lines could increase the power capacity of the SFCL by the equal power division into the superconducting units.

The traditional demand prediction was based on the technique wherein electric power corporations made monthly or seasonal estimation of electric power consumption for each area and subscription type for the next one or two years to consider both seasonally generated and local consumed amounts. Note, however, that techniques such as pricing, power generation plan, or sales strategy establishment were used by corporations without considering the production, comparison, and analysis techniques of the predicted consumption to enable efficient power consumption on the actual demand side. In this paper, to calculate the predicted value of electric power consumption on a short-term basis (15 minutes) according to the amount of electric power actually consumed for 15 minutes on the demand side, we performed comparison and analysis by applying a 15-minute interval prediction technique to the average and that to the time series analysis to show how they were made and what we obtained from the simulations.

This work describes the development of a D-band (110-170 GHz) signal source based on a SiGe BiCMOS technology. This D-band signal source consists of a V-band (50-75 GHz) oscillator, a V-band amplifier, and a D-band frequency doubler. The V-band signal from the oscillator is amplified for power boost, and then the frequency is doubled for D-band signal generation. The V-band oscillator showed an output power of 2.7 dBm at 67.3 GHz. Including a buffer stage, it had a DC power consumption of 145 mW. The peak gain of the V-band amplifier was 10.9 dB, which was achieved at 64.0 GHz and consumed 110 mW of DC power. The active frequency doubler consumed 60 mW for D-band signal generation. The integrated D-band source exhibited a measured output oscillation frequency of 133.2 GHz with an output power of 3.1 dBm and a phase noise of -107.2 dBc/Hz at 10 MHz offset. The chip size is $900{\times}1,890{\mu}m^2$, including RF and DC pads.

In this study, we developed friendly-environment device through various applications of pulse power system and studied research about pulse energy transfer characteristics. We have studied the mutual relation between characteristics of the load impedance and consumed power of the pulse power system. The consumed power means electrical power from the wall plug. For changing the load impedance, we could change elecrode length. As results, we can get electrical characteristics between pulse generator and load. When the pulse energy was triggered the microbes, caused waste water, they were almost removed in the waste water.

It is necessary to charge electric vehicles in order to drive them. Thus, it is essential to have electric vehicle charging facilities in place. In the case of a household battery charger, the power similar to that consumed by a household with a basic contract power of 3kW is consumed. In addition, many consumers who own an electric vehicle will charge their vehicles at the same time. The simultaneous charging of electric vehicles will cause the load to increase, which then will lead to the imbalance of supply and demand in the distribution system. Thus, a smart charging scheme for electric vehicles is an essential element. In this paper, simulated conditions were set up using real data relating to Korea in order to design a smart charging technique suitable for the actual situation. The simulated conditions were used to present a smart charging technique for electric vehicles that disperses electric vehicles being charged simultaneously. The EVs and Smart Charging Technique are modeled using the Electro Magnetic Transients Program (EMTP).

This study measured the amount of electricity consumed by the vending machines installed on campus and aim to come up with measures to address excessive consumption of electricity. We chose 10 universities located in the city of Seoul and Gyeonggi province and measured electricity consumption of 10 vending machines installed in each university. We then calculated annual electricity consumption of the machines based on previously calculated electricity consumption of 100 samples. According to the result of the calculation, it is estimated that the machines studied on consume 700 KWh a year. This amount could translate into approximately 3,000 tons of annual carbon emissions and 640 million KRW in annual electricity bills. It was also found that there is a significant difference between ordinary vending machines and machines certified for being eco-friendly and energy efficient, in terms of electric power consumption. It is expected that, if the ordinary machines are replaced with the eco-friendly and high-efficient machines, 640 KWh of electricity, 300 kg of carbon, and 61,640 KRW in electricity bills would be saved, which means 28% saving in energy, emissions and bills. In conclusion, we determined that, as one of the ways to reduce electric power consumption and carbon emissions, old vending machines on campus could be replaced with eco-friendly and high-efficient machines.

Various applications of exoskeleton system are reported in the area of military, healthcare, and industries. More the user gets help from exoskeleton system, more power is consumed. To resolve this design conflict, we suggest an energy efficient exoskeleton system which compensates muscle fatigue in isotonic and isometric contraction conditions. Fatigue compensated exoskeleton significantly reduced muscle fatigue while consumed less operation power. In addition, the level of fatigue compensation can be managed by motor control using various input profile. It can make user customized exoskeleton system.

The drain current of the MOSFET in the off state(i.e., Id when Vgs=0V) is undesired but nevertheless important leakage current device parameter in many digital CMOS IC applications (including DRAMs, SRAMs, dynamic logic circuits, and portable systems). The standby power consumed by devices in the off state have added to the total power consumed by the IC, increasing heat dissipation problems in the chip. In this paper, hot-carrier-induced degra- dation and gate-induced-drain-leakage curr- ent under worse case in P-MOSFET\`s have been studied. First of all, the degradation of gate-induced- drain-leakage current due to electron/hole trapping and surface electric field in off state MOSFET\`s which has appeared as an additional constraint in scaling down p-MOSFET\`s. The GIDL current in p-MOSFET\`s was decreased by hot-electron stressing, because the trapped charge were decreased surface-electric-field. But the GIDL current in n-MOS77T\`s under worse case was increased.

This paper presents a methodology that accelerates estimating the system-level power consumption for on-chip bus of SoC platforms. The proposed power modeling can estimate the power consumption according to the change of a target SoC system. The proposed model comprises two parts: the one is power estimation of bus logics reflecting the architecture of the bus such as the number of bus layers, the other is to estimate the power consumed by the bus lines during data transmission. We designed the target multimedia SoC system, MPEG encoder as an example and evaluated power consumption using this model. The simulation result shows that the accuracy of the proposed model is over 92%. Thus, the proposed power model can be used to design of a high-performance/low-power multimedia SoC.

Quick-Response Liquid Powder Display ($QR-LPD^{(R)}$) is a promising device for ultra-low-power applications. Several driving methods for this display were investigated in terms of image quality and power consumption. The power consumed both in a panel and in the output circuits of driver LSIs was evaluated by analog circuit simulation and discussed.
