At the end of the 19th century, Edison's DC power system and Tesla's AC power system was debated in power market. Finally, AC system became the primary system of the power market because both step-up and step-down of voltage by using transformer and long-distance power transmission are easily possible. However, nowadays the power market takes some action for introducing DC system. Both domestic and foreign researchers are conducting the study on the DC system as well. Some researchers have conducted the studies on power quality and economic evaluation of the DC distribution system but DC distribution system is still controversial in terms of the effectiveness and reliability. In this paper, we calculate the reliability indices of the Low Voltage Direct Current(LVDC) distribution system considering arrangement of power electronics, layout of the distribution system, and distance between load points.

Titanium nitride (TiN) thin films are widely used for hard coatings due to their superior hardness. In this paper, we wanted see how the films properties are changed according to DC power. TiN thin films were deposited by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering method using TiN compound target on silicon substrates. The films structural properties are examined by X-ray Diffractions (XRD) and tribological properties are measured by nano-indentation, nano-scratch tester, nano-stress tester. Especially in DC power of 150 W, the maximum hardness and the minimum residual stress of TiN film exhibited about 25 GPa and 1 GPa, respectively. And also, the critical load of TiN film prepared by magnetron sputtering method were measured over 30 N.

Tungsten disulfide($WS_2$) thin films were directly deposited by direct-current(DC) sputtering and annealed by rapid thermal processing(RTP) to materialize two-dimensional p-type transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) thin films on soda-lime glass substrates without any complicated exfoliation/transfer process. $WS_2$ thin films deposited at various DC sputtering powers from 80 W to 160W were annealed at different temperatures from $400^{\circ}C$ to $550^{\circ}C$ considering the melting temperature of soda-lime glass. The optical microscope results showed the stable surface morphologies of the $WS_2$ thin films without any defects. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results and the Hall measurement results showed stable binding energies of W and S and high carrier mobilities of $WS_2$ thin films.

손쉬운 제어성, 운용성 등 다양한 이유로 디지털 부하가 급증하고 있고 이와 함께 부하의 소비 패턴은 직류화 되고 있다. 그러나 공급되는 전력은 교류 전원이므로 실질적으로 필요로 하는 부하의 공급 전원인 직류 전원을 만족하기 위하여 교류 전원을 다시 직류로 변환하여 사용하고 있다. 태양광, 풍력, 연료전지 등 신재생 에너지원의 경우 직류 발전을 하는 발전원으로 교류로 변환을 통해 계통에 유입되고 다시 직류로 변환되어 부하에 공급하게 되는 다단 변환을 하게 되어 손실은 지속적으로 증가하게 된다. 에너지원의 효율적인 사용을 위한 직류 기반의 배전 시스템이 필요로 하나, 부하뿐만 아니라 보호 기능을 구현하기 위한 직류 배선용 차단기의 개발이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 영구 자석을 이용한 아크 소호 기술과 하이브리드 아크 소호 기술을 이용한 직류 아크 소호 기술에 대한 연구를 통하여 안정적인 직류 배전 시스템 운용을 위한 계통 및 기기 보호가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

High voltage direct current transmission based on modular multilevel converter (MMC-HVDC) is one of the most promising power transmission technologies. In this study, the mathematical characteristics of MMC-HVDC are analyzed in a synchronous rotational reference frame. A hybrid current vector controller based on proportional integer plus resonant is used to uniformly control the DC and double-base frequency AC currents under unbalanced grid voltage conditions. A corresponding voltage dependent current order limiter is then designed to solve the overcurrent problems that may occur. Moreover, the circulating current sequence components are thoroughly examined and controlled using a developed circulating current suppressor. Simulation results verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed control schemes.

Distributed resources such as renewable energy sources and ESS are connected to the low voltage direct current(LVDC) distribution network through the power conversion system(PCS). Control power is required for the operation of the PCS. In general, controller power is supplied from AC power or DC power through switch mode power supply(SMPS). However, the conventional SMPS has a low input voltage, so development and research on high input voltage self-power suitable for LVDC is insufficient. In this paper, to develop Self-Power that can be used for LVDC, the characteristics of the conventional topology are analyzed, and a series-input single-output flyback converter using a flux-sharing transformer for high voltage is designed. The high input voltage Self-Power was designed in the DCM(discontinuous current mode) to reduce the switching loss and solve the problem of current dissipation. In addition, since it operates even at low input voltage, it can be applied to many applications as well as LVDC. The validity of the proposed high input voltage self-power is verified through experiments.

알츠하이머병은 치매를 일으키는 원인 중 가장 높은 빈도를 차지하는 신경퇴행성 질환으로서, 아직은 증상을 개선시키는 정도의 약물적 치료가 주를 이룬다. 이러한 경구약제의 치료적 한계성 및 신약개발의 어려움에 직면하여 임상에서는 비약물적 치료에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 경두개 직류전기자극(transcranial direct current stimulation, tDCS)는 낮은 강도의 직류전류를 이용한 비침습적 뇌조절술의 한 종류로서, 그 안전성에 대해서는 이미 널리 입증받은 바 있다. 본 종설에서는 알츠하이머병 쥐 모델에게 tDCS를 적용함으로써 얻을 수 있는 행동학적, 신경생리학적, 뇌조직학적 회복에 대한 객관적 근거들을 살펴봄으로써, 인간 대상 tDCS연구의 배경근거를 제시하고자 한다.

Direct torque control based on space vector modulation (SVM-DTC) protects the DTC transient merits. Furthermore, it creates better quality steady-state performance in a wide speed range. The modified method of DTC using SVM improves the electrical magnitudes of asynchronous machines, such as minimizing the stator current distortions, the stator flux with electromagnetic torque without ripple, the fast response of the rotor speed, and the constant switching frequency. In this paper, the proposed method is based on two new control strategies for direct torque control with space vector modulation. First, fuzzy logic control is used instead of the PI torque and a PI flux controller to minimizing the torque error and to achieve a constant switching frequency. The voltages in the direct and quadratic reference frame ($V_d$, $V_q$) are achieved by fuzzy logic control. In this scheme, the switching capability of the inverter is fully utilized, which improves the system performance. Second, the close loop of stator flux estimation based on the voltage model and a low pass filter is used to counteract the drawbacks in the open loop of the stator flux such as the problems saturation and dc drift. The response of this new control strategy is compared with DTC-SVM. The experimental and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control topology outperforms the conventional DTC-SVM in terms of system robustness and eliminating the bad outcome of dc-offset.

$Ni-Si_3N_4$ nano-composite coatings were prepared by pulse current (PC) electrodeposition and direct current (DC) electrodeposition techniques. The micro-structure of the coatings was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vickers microhardness, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and wear-friction tests. The results showed that the micro-structure and wear performance of the coatings were affected by the electrodeposition techniques. Pulse current electrodeposited $Ni-Si_3N_4$ composite coatings exhibited higher microhardness, smooth surface, and better wear resistance properties as compared to coatings prepared under DC condition. The $Ni-Si_3N_4$ composite coatings prepared at 50 Hz pulse frequency with 10% duty cycles has shown higher codeposition of nano-particles. Consequently, increased microhardness and less plastic deformations occurred in coatings during sliding wear test. The XRD patterns revealed that the increased pulse frequencies changed the preferred (100) nickel crystallite orientations into mixed (111) and (100) orientations.

Air-cooling method is adopted on the basis of the requirements for the thermal stability and convenient field use of an electrical source transmitter. The power losses of the transmitter are determined after calculating the losses of the alternating current (AC)-direct current (DC) power supply, the constant-current circuit, and the output circuit. According to the analysis of the characteristics of a heat sink with striped fins and a fan, the engineering calculation expression of the Nusselt number and the design process for air-cooled dissipation are proposed. Experimental results verify that the error between calculated and measured values of the transmitter losses is 12.2%, which meets the error design requirements of less than 25%. Steady-state average temperature rise of the heat sink of the AC-DC power supply is $22^{\circ}C$, which meets the design requirements of a temperature rise between $20^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$. The transmitter has favorable thermal stability with 40 kW output power.
