In the transformer that is used for the contactless power transmission system, the primary and secondary sides are separated structurally unlike general transformers. When the contactless transformer is built, it forms relatively bigger air gap than the general transformer. Thus it is difficult to transfer energy from the primary side input to the secondary side output with high power efficiently because of low coupling coefficient. This paper proposes a contactless transformer using the rectangular type core that maintains high coupling coefficient even when it has relatively large air gap. The performance characteristics of the proposed transformer are compared with the transformer using general EE core to the air gap variation. The proposed contactless system using rectangular type core and dc-dc full bridge converter, and the system using EE core type and dc-dc full bridge converter are respectively implemented and their performance characteristics are verified by the simulation and experiment.

This paper establishes a compact and practical model for a water-wall system comprising supercritical once-through boilers, which can be used for automatic control or simple analysis of the entire boiler-turbine system. Input and output variables of the water-wall system are defined, and balance equations are applied using a lumped parameter method. For practical purposes, the dynamic equations are developed with respect to pressure and temperature instead of density and internal energy. A comparison with results obtained using APESS, a practical thermal power plant simulator developed by Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction, is presented with respect to steady state and transient responses.

This paper proposes a criterion to select the modes for modal truncated model of flexible rotor only supported by active magnetic bearings. The proposed approach relies on the concepts of minimum control input and output energy assuming that the system is subjected to transient disturbances. Accurate large order model for the levitated rotor is taken by finite element analysis and transformed to the modal equation. By proposed methodology, which modal states should be retained in the truncated model are investigated over the whole operational speed range by the calculation. Finally, the effectiveness is verified by checking the model error between original model and reduced model.

The voltage variation problem at the point of common coupling (PCC) in a grid-connected wind turbine is investigated. The voltage variation problem is one of the most frequent power quality issues for the grid connection of large amounts of input power in a weak grid. Through the simplified modeling of the wind turbine and power network, the magnitude of PCC voltage variation is calculated by using the equivalent circuit parameters and output power of the wind turbine. The required amount of reactive power that can compensate the voltage variation is also presented analytically by using the vector diagram method. The proposed calculation and compensation method of the PCC voltage variation is verified by computer simulations and experiments.

In this study, the characteristic of a vane pump of an automative power steering system is numerically analyzed. The vane pump changes the energy level of operation fluid by converting mechanical input power to hydraulic output. To simulate this mechanism, moving mesh technique is adopted. As a result, the flow rate and pressure are obtained by numerical analysis. The flow rate agrees well with the experimental data. Moreover, the variation and oscillation of the pressure around the rotating vane are confirmed. The difference of pressure appears in the vane tip as a result of the flow characteristics. Furthermore, the back flow into the rotor was observed.

An optimal design technique for minimum power loss in Kopp Ball Variator Continuously Variable Transmission is developed. Kinematic analysis of traction drive contact is performed to find spin for Kopp Ball Variator, and traction force and torque are calculated from mathem atical model of traction drive contact. The objective function for optimal design is total power loss including contact loss and bearing losses. The design contraints are derived from energy balance for input and output power. The formulated optimal design problem is implemented to a non-linear programming algorithm to find minimum power loss. The performance of optimal ly designed Kopp Ball Variator shows that efficiency is increased about 5-10% compare to a commercial unit.

This study aimed at analyzing the trend of carbon dioxide emission for direct and indirect areas by using inter industry relations table between 2000, 2003 and 2005 in the key building materials and components. Results of this study are as follows; First, the material and components for this study was selected in 20 industries of products such as sand, gravel, cement, concrete articles, rebar, and steel bar. Second, among the 20 selected key building materials, the group with the highest carbon-dioxide emission was shown in ready-mixed concrete, concrete articles, and primary aluminum goods. Third, as a result of analyzing the changes to the units of carbon dioxide emission according to passage of time, the number of items which is changed in such as sustained increase or decrease over time was insignificant in carbon-emission change trend.

This paper aims at designing an intelligent controller, based on control Lyapunov Function strategy integrated with fabricating discrete model of Buck and Boost converters and analyzing energy changes during the DC/DC progress to realize tracing reference current on Buck and Boost converters. In addition, practical stability phenomenon research and transient performance analysis has been proposed to give an insight to the influence of controller parameters in achieving an enhanced output performance and how the time of sample period affect the error of practical stability will be illustrated. The novelty of this controller in comparison to other schemes lies in the improved performance of practical stability.
