This paper presents an application of layered Artificial Neural Network controller to study load frequency control problem in power system. The objective of control scheme guarantees that steady state error of frequencies and inadvertent interchange of tie-lines are maintained in a given tolerance limitation. The proposed controller has been designed for a two-area interconnected power system. Only one artificial neural network controller (ANN), which controls the inputs of each area in the power system together, is considered. In this study, back propagation-through time algorithm is used as neural network learning rule. The performance of the power system is simulated by using conventional integral controller and ANN controller, separately. For the first time comparative study has been carried out between SMES and CES unit, all of the areas are included with SMES and CES unit separately. By comparing the results for both cases, the performance of ANN controller with CES unit is found to be better than conventional controllers with SMES, CES and ANN with SMES.

The FM demodulation method for a bulk homodyne laser interferometer is presented. The Doppler frequency that represents the surface velocity of a vibrating object is obtained by using the bulk homodyne laser interferometer, and converted to the voltage signal by using the proposed analogue FM demodulation circuit. The DC offsets of the interferent signals that are obtained from the bulk homodyne interferometer are eliminated by using a simple subtraction. The new method for compensation of the asymmetry of each channels is presented. The light power variation of the interferometer is normalized by using the Auto Gain Controller(AGC). The proposed FM demodulation algorithm is proved by the theoretical method, and validated by the experimental results. In experiments, the proposed FM demodulation algorithm is compared with the conventional demodulation methods.

In this paper, a dual-channel feed-forward transimpedance(TIA) array is realized in a standard $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology which exploits automatic gain control function to provide 40-dB input dynamic range for either detecting targets nearby or sensing imminent danger situations. Compared to the previously reported conventional feed-forward TIA, the proposed automatic-gain-control feed-forward TIA(AFF-TIA) extends the input dynamic range 25 dB wider by employing a 4-level automatic gain control circuit. Measured results demonstrate the linearly varying transimpedance gain of 47 to $72dB{\Omega}$, input dynamic range of 1:100, the bandwidth of $${\geq_-}670MHz$$, the equivalent input referred noise current spectral density of 6.9 pA/${\surd}$HZ, the maximum sensitivity of -26.8 dBm for $10^{-12}BER$, and the power consumption of 27.6 mW from a single 1.8-V supply. The dual-channel chip occupies the area of $1.0{\times}0.73mm^2$ including I/O pads.

The Hot Strip Mill(HSM) process consists of reheating furnace, roughing mill, finishing mill and coiler. Reheating furnace heats slab and roughing mill, finishing mill produces strip from this slab. The quality of this production mainly depends on finishing mill, which consists of 6 or 7 stands. Between stands a looper is installed for the better material flow. Automatic gage control(AGC), speed control system and looper system, which are connected with each other, are the main control systems for HSM. The low strip tension can make a loop between stands, which can be caused cobble. On the other hand, high strip tension causes thickness and width reduction, which affects the product quality, and can lead to tear the strip, if it is too high. Because of it, a proper strip tension is needed for better material flow: e.g. A good looper control system is substantial for the better production quality. What is handled in this paper is, the looper controller, which is developed to minimize the fluctuation of width of strip by maintaining an appropriate strip tension between stands and to achieve the stability of the looper control system. And its performance compared with a conventional PID controller is also discussed. The difficulties associated with the maintenance of the constant tension are described.

최근 신재생에너지의 확대 보급과 더불어 전기저장장치(ESS, Energy Storage System)가 활발하게 도입되고 있다. 하지만 현재 전기저장장치에 대한 도입효과와 경제성 및 계통에 미치는 영향에 대한 구체적인 평가방법이 없어 효과적인 도입운용이 어려운 실정이다. 특히 주파수조정용 ESS에 대한 국제적인 기술표준 및 제도가 마련되지 않아, 이의 설치에 따른 전기품질, 계통영향, 기여도 등은 물론 편익 산정에 대한 종합적인 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 주파수조정용 ESS의 성능검증 방안을 마련하기 위하여, 기존발전기의 주파수조정 성능평가 방법인 미국 PJM의 AGC(Automatic Generation Control, 발전기 자동발전제어) 성능 평가방식을 분석하여, 주파수조정용 ESS의 성능평가 알고리즘을 제안하였고, 고가발전기의 정산금과 화력발전기의 정산금을 이용하여 500MW급의 주파수조정용 ESS의 도입에 따른 편익을 산정할 수 있는 경제성 평가 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 제안한 알고리즘의 유용성을 확인하기 위하여, 실 계통 데이터를 바탕으로 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 전기저장장치가 기존의 발전기에 비하여 아주 우수한 성능을 가지고 있음을 확인하였고, 500MW 도입시 연간 약 3,457~4,296억의 편익이 발생함을 확인하였다.

Purpose: Advancement of computed tomography (CT) hardware and software has allowed thin section scanning and reconstruction of fascinating 2-dimentional (2D) and 3- dimentional (3D) images. Especially, the reconstruction of 3D images of gastrointestinal tract has been used in the detection and diagnosis of pre-malignant and malignant diseases. To compare the efficacy of CT gastrography with conventional upper gastrointenstinal series (UGIs) in gastric cancer patients. Materials and Methods: During Nov. 2002 and Mar. 2003, twenty-seven patients who had gastric cancer received both double contrast upper GI series and CT gastrography prior to radical surgery. Among these patients, nineteen had early gastric cancer (EGC) and 8 had advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Fifteen patients were male and 12 were female. The mean age was 54 yrs (range, $27\∼75$ yrs). The patients were placed on NPO and Stomach was distended with gas in fasting state prior to CT scanning. Double contrast upper GI series were performed as routine manual. CT scan was conducted in all patients using 8 or 16-channel multidetector CT in this study. The collimation and reconstruction for CT scanning were set at 2.5 mm and 1.25 mm, respectively. CT scanning was performed in the supine position. For image processing, CT gastrography, in which raysum and surface rendering images were constructed, virtual and 2D image in coronal and sagittal images were performed. The detectability of gastric cancer was assessed between UGIs and CT gastrography. Results: In AGCs, the detection rate of cancer using CT gastrography and virtual gastroscopy was higher than EGC cases. However, CT gastrography and virtual gastroscopy showed less favorable results than UGIs. Even though only a small number of cases had been studied, we might conclude that CT gastrography and virtual gastroscopy could replace UGIs in the detection of AGC cases. Conclusion: The detection rate used with CT gastrography and Virtual gastroscopy is not better than that of UGIs in early gastric cancer, however, in advanced gastric cancer cases, it is nearly equal to that of UGIs.

This paper suggests a design method of an improved phase control loop for tracking resonant frequency of solid type precision resonant gyroscope. In general, a low cost MEMS gyroscope adapts the automatic gain control loops by taking a velocity feedback configuration. This control technique for controlling the resonance amplitude shows a stable performance. But in terms of resonant frequency tracking, this technique shows an unreliable performance due to phase errors because the AGC method cannot provide an active phase control capability. For the resonance control loop design of a solid type precision resonant gyroscope, this paper presents a phase domain control loop based on linear PLL (Phase Locked Loop). In particular, phase control loop is exploited using a higher order PLL loop filter by extending the first order active PI (Proportion-Integral) filter. For the verification of the proposed loop design, a hemispherical resonant gyroscope is considered. Numerical simulation result demonstrates that the control loop shows a robust performance against initial resonant frequency gap between resonator and voltage control oscillator. Also it is verified that the designed loop achieves a stable oscillation even under the initial frequency gap condition of about 25 Hz, which amounts to about 1% of the natural frequency of a conventional resonant gyroscope.

Objective: Three-dimensional rotational angiography (3D-RA) is increasingly used for the evaluation of intracranial aneurysms (IAs); however, radiation exposure to the lens is a concern. We investigated the effect of head off-centering by adjusting table height on the lens dose during 3D-RA and its feasibility in patient examination. Materials and Methods: The effect of head off-centering during 3D-RA on the lens radiation dose at various table heights was investigated using a RANDO head phantom (Alderson Research Labs). We prospectively enrolled 20 patients (58.0 ± 9.4 years) with IAs who were scheduled to undergo bilateral 3D-RA. In all patients' 3D-RA, the lens dose-reduction protocol involving elevation of the examination table was applied to one internal carotid artery, and the conventional protocol was applied to the other. The lens dose was measured using photoluminescent glass dosimeters (GD-352M, AGC Techno Glass Co., LTD), and radiation dose metrics were compared between the two protocols. Image quality was quantitatively analyzed using source images for image noise, signal-to-noise ratio, and contrast-to-noise ratio. Additionally, three reviewers qualitatively assessed the image quality using a five-point Likert scale. Results: The phantom study showed that the lens dose was reduced by an average of 38% per 1 cm increase in table height. In the patient study, the dose-reduction protocol (elevating the table height by an average of 2.3 cm) led to an 83% reduction in the median dose from 4.65 mGy to 0.79 mGy (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences between dose-reduction and conventional protocols in the kerma area product (7.34 vs. 7.40 Gy·cm², P = 0.892), air kerma (75.7 vs. 75.1 mGy, P = 0.872), and image quality. Conclusion: The lens radiation dose was significantly affected by table height adjustment during 3D-RA. Intentional head off-centering by elevation of the table is a simple and effective way to reduce the lens dose in clinical practice.
