Solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) makes electric power using hydrogen or reformed from methane and emits high temperature products that contain flammable species like hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane which varies with operation condition. SOFC/gas turbine integrated system which uses thermal and chemical energy of the discharges is more efficient than SOFC itself. Burning character of the SOFC products will affect the efficiency and stability of the system. Experiments were conducted to know the characteristics of the flame for two typical composition of SOFC products, i.e. start-up and steady state composition. When coflowing air temperature was higher than $600^{\circ}C$, auto-ignitin occurred for both fuels. Though start-up fuel has higher contents of hydrogen, it makes longer flame than steady state composition. It was inferred that the amount of oxidizer necessary to burn makes this phenomenon. Steady state composition fuel was unstable since it contains lots of water. Nozzle that had 6 holes, distance between each hole was 16.7 times of hole diameter, improved the stability of the flame.

본 논문에서는 비대칭 컨버터에 비하여 전력소자의 수를 감소하면서도, 고속 운전에 적합한 새로운 멀티레벨 인버터를 제안한다. 제안된 인버터는 기존의 비대칭 컨버터에 비하여 전력소자의 수를 감소시킬 수 있는 특징이 있으며, SRM의 감자구간에서 휠링되는 에너지와 전원에서 공급되는 에너지를 교차적으로 활용하는 방식을 적용함으로써, C-dump 인버터에 비해 커패시터의 정격전압을 낮출 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한, 제안된 멀티레벨 인버터의 동작 모드는 비대칭 컨버터에 비하여, 충전 레벨의 전원을 정역으로 활용하여 빠른 여자(Excitation)와 감자(Demagnetization) 모드를 가지게 되므로, 제어의 활용성이 매우 높다. 따라서, SRM의 고속 운전에 필요한 여자전류의 빠른 확립을 통하여 응답시간을 개선시키며, 토크 발생구간을 확장시킬 수 있다. 제안된 멀티레벨 인버터 구동형 SRM의 운전특성은 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

Current low head and small scale hydroturbines have limitations in the minimum required head and flow rate for efficient operation. This study attempts to develop a new concept hydroturbine which is expected to run efficiently even in very low head and small flow rate, so that the limitations on the conventional small scale hydropower could be alleviated and competition with other alternative energy sources in the economic respect could be attained. A small scale catapillar track- hydroturbine was fabricated and the performance test was carried out in a water tunnel over the head range of H = 0.8 m ~ 1.26 m. The peak turbine efficiency was 41.3% at the speed ratio of 0.6, and the turbine loss was mostly due to the friction at the chain drive used for power transmission from the runner to the shafts. This type of turbine is expected to become competitive when some improvement in the power transmission mechanism is made.

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) under the partial shading condition is a challenging research topic for photovoltaic systems. Shaded photo-voltaic module result in complex peak patterns on the power versus voltage curve which can misguide classical MPPT algorithms. Thus, various kinds of global MPPT algorithms have been studied. These have typically consisted of partial shading detection, global peak search and MPPT. The conventional partial shading detection algorithm aims to detect all of the occurrences of partial shading. This results in excessive execution of global peak searches and discontinuous operation of the MPPT. This in turn, reduces the achievable power for the PV module. Based on a theoretical investigation of power verse voltage curve patterns under various partial shading conditions, it is realized that not all the occurrences of partial shadings require a global peak search. Thus, an intelligent partial shading detection algorithm that provides exact identification of global peak search necessity is essential for the efficient utilization of solar energy resources. This paper presents a new partial shading determinant algorithm utilizing adaptive threshold levels. Conventional methods tend to be too sensitive to sharp shading patterns but insensitive to smooth patterns. However, the proposed algorithm always shows superb performance, regardless of the partial shading patterns.

Regenerative evaporative cooling is known as an environment-friendly and energy efficient cooling method. A regenerative evaporative cooler (REC) consisting of dry and wet channels is able to cool down the air stream below the inlet wet-bulb temperature. In the regenerative evaporative cooler, the cooling effect is achieved by redirecting a portion of the air flown out of the dry channel into the wet channel and spraying water onto the redirected air. In this study, a horizontal regenerative cooler is considered. In the horizontal regenerative cooler, the flow direction of evaporating water has a right angle to the flow direction of supply air. This difference was investigated with visualization technique and simplified 2-module performance test was done in a thermo-environment chamber. Optimum design configuration is changed due to the wet channel which are easily fully covered with evaporating water and block the air flow inside the channel. Applying the optimized fin configuration design with the highly wetting surface treatment, a regenerative evaporative cooler was fabricated and tested to Identify the cooling performance improvement and operation characteristics. From the experimental results at the intake condition of $32^{\circ}C$ and 50% RH, the supply temperature was measured to be around $23.4^{\circ}C$. The cooling effectiveness based on the inlet dewpoint temperature was evaluated 73% which is almost close to the design expectation.

The U-statistic method is one of the most important structural methods to separate the anomaly from background. It considers the location of samples and carries out the statistical analysis of the data without judging from a geochemical point of view and tries to separate subpopulations and determine anomalous areas. In the present study, 3D U-statistic method has been applied for the first time through the three-dimensional (3D) modeling of an ore deposit. In order to achieve this purpose, 3D U-statistic is applied on the data (Fe grade) resulted from the drilling network in Baghak mine, central part of the Sangan iron mines (in Khorassan Razavi Province, Iran). Afterward, results from applying 3D U-statistic method are used for 3D modeling of the iron mineralization. Results show that the anomalous values are well separated from background so that the determined samples as anomalous are not dispersed and according to their positioning, denser areas of anomalous samples could be considered as anomaly areas. And also, final results (3D model of iron mineralization) show that output model using this method is compatible with designed model for mining operation. Moreover, seen that U-statistic method in addition for separating anomaly from background, could be very efficient for the 3D modeling of different ore type.

무선 센서 네트워크는 다양한 분야에 응용하여 사용하고 있다. 배터리를 사용하는 센서노드는 전원이 제한적이기 때문에 다양한 기능과 전송의 신뢰성보다 저전력을 사용하는 동작에 더 최적화 되어있다. 하지만 더욱 다양한 목적으로 정확한 데이터를 사용하기 위해서는 전송의 신뢰성이 보장되어야 한다. 멀티홉 환경으로 구성되어 있는 센서 네트워크에서 종단간 전송 신뢰성을 보장하기 위해서는 링크(홉)간의 전송 신뢰성이 바탕이 되어야 하지만, IEEE 802.15.4 표준은 링크계층의 전송 신뢰성을 고려하지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하면서 링크(홉)간 전송 신뢰성을 제공하기 위한 링크계층 프로토콜을 제안한다.
