This paper proposes a control strategy based on the frequency detection method, comprising a current control and a feed-forward voltage control loop, is proposed for grid-interactive power conditioning systems (PCS). For continuous provision of power to critical loads, PCS should be able to check grid outages instantaneously. Hence, proposed in the present paper are a frequency detection method for detecting abnormal grid conditions and a controller, which consists of a current controller and a feedforward voltage controller, for different operation modes. The frequency detection method can detect abnormal grid conditions accurately and quickly. The controller which has current and voltage control loops rapidly helps in load voltage regulation when grid fault occurs by changing reference and control modes. The proposed seamless transfer control strategy is confirmed by experimental results.

This paper describes the investigation on current state of cold storage facilities, and analysis on the demand prediction in the near future. And based on the analysis results, we prospect the scale of cold storage facilities in the near future. The main analysis results are summarized by the followings ; The present circumstances of cold storage facility are determined by investigating actual loading capacity, average stock amounts, and return number of cold storage facility. From the results, the present situation for cold storage facility is about 3% over. It is found that the average stock amounts increase gradually, and accordingly that the demand of cold storage facility is predicted to be increased, resulting that the capacity of cold storage facilities in 2013 expects to reach up to 5,250,000 ton. It is considered that the results of demand prediction has significant implications on the management of cold storage facility in the near future.

The summer climate is very hot and humid in Korea. The humidity is an important factor in determining thermal comfort. Recently, the research for dehumidification device development has been attempted to save energy that is required for the operation of the current dehumidifiers on the market. Existing dehumidification systems have disadvantages such as wasting energy to drive a compressor. Meanwhile, dehumidification systems with membranes can dehumidify humid air without increasing the dry bulb temperature so it doesn't have to consume cooling energy. In this paper, the cooling energy savings was studied when a dehumidification system was applied in a model building instead of a chiller. The sensible heat load was almost the same result, but the latent heat load was decreased by 38.9% and the total heat load was decreased by 8.5%. As a result, electric energy used to drive the compressor in a chiller was saved by applying a membrane air-conditioning system instead.

The outdoor and indoor air quality surrounding highway have been measured, and the study on the design of the booth shape and the air-conditioning system also has been carried out. For the first step of the work, the air quality at the Seoul tollgate on the Kyeong-bu highway was monitored over a year. The measured indoor air quality shows seasonal average concentration 85.6-92.1ppb of >;$NO_2$and the $SO_2$and CO lower than the EAQS(Environmental Air Quality Standards). The measured TSP concentration was much higher than the EAQS. In conclusion, there is necessity to improve the working environment of the tollbooths on highways, and the current air-conditions need to be modify for the purpose. In the process of modifying the air-conditioning system, particulate pollutants needs to be considered processing and the priority needs to be put on the booths for big vehicles.

The effects of baffles in PEM fuel cell with parallel flow channel has been simulated by using conmmercial program. The simulation has been conducted through the channel and there are four different heights of baffles, No Baffle($H_b$=0), Partially Blocked Baffle(0.25, 0.5, 0.75), Fully Blocked Baffle(1) conditions. The result shows that current density changes while placing a baffle at the various positions along the channel. Current density with a single baffle is higher than that without baffle and current density using Fully Blocked Baffle(FBB) is much higher than current density using Partially Blocked Baffle(PBB). When the baffle is closer to outlet of the channel, current density increases. It is found that pressure is related to current density. If the pressure is higher, the better performance will be expected.

In this study, a reduction method of leakage current in a three-level photovoltaic power-conditioning system (PCS) is proposed and verified by simulation and experiment. Leakage current generation is analyzed through an equivalent model of the common mode voltage considering a significant parasitic capacitance existing between the photovoltaic array and ground. A leakage current reduction method using pulse-width modulation (PWM) method is also proposed, and a 10-kW three-level photovoltaic PCS simulation and experiment is performed with a $1{\mu}F$ parasitic capacitor based on 100 nF/kW. The proposed method using the PWM method is verified to reduce the leakage current by 73% compared with the conventional PWM method.

As a result of the advantages such as high efficiency, continuous current and high stability margin, push-pull converter with continuous current (PPCWCC) is competitive for battery discharge regulator (BDR) which plays an important role in power conditioning unit (PCU). Leakage inductance yields current spike in low-ripple current of PPCWCCs. The operating modes are added due to leakage inductance. Therefore the steady state performance is affected, which is embodied in the spike of low-ripple current. PPCWCCs which are suitable for BDR can be separated into three types by current spike characteristics. Three representative topologies IIs1, IIcb2 and Is3 are analyzed in order to investigate the factors on the magnitude and duration of spike. Equivalent current sampling method (ECSM) which eliminates the sampling time delay and achieves excellent dynamic performance is adopted to prevent the spike disturbance on current sampling. However, ECSM reduces the sampling accuracy and telemetry accuracy due to neglecting the spike. In this paper, ECSM used in PPCWCCs is summarized. The current sampling error is analyzed in quality and quantity, which provides the foundation for offsetting and enhancing the telemetry accuracy. Finally, current sampling error rate of three topologies is compared by experiment results, which verify the theoretical analysis.

This paper deals with anti-pinch system based on current information which prevents some risks for trapping, squeezing or injury to people in smart window on vehicles. Automatic configuration of current threshold is suggested to recognize pinch states in the current based anti-pinch system. Also, some factors affecting to the squeezing force were analyzed by some experimental results and simulations. The validity of the suggested system was verified to satisfy the strengthened American safety regulation, FMVSS 118-S5, through some experimental results.

Maximum power point tracking(MPPT) algorithm is needed in PV AC module power conditioning system because of the nonlinear current-voltage characteristics. Conventional MPPT algorithm is required to know PV-module output current and voltage. Thus, PV-AC module must have voltage and current sensor. In this paper, a current-sensorless MPPT algorithm, which uses only the voltage sensor, is presented for Flyback inverter.
