Interface traps between a gate insulator and beta-gallium oxide (β-Ga₂O₃) channel are extensively studied because of the interface trap charge-induced instability and hysteresis. In this work, their effects on mobility degradation at low temperature and hysteresis at high temperature are investigated by characterizing electrical properties of the device in a temperature range of 20-300 K. As acceptor-like traps at the interface are frozen below 230 K, the hysteresis becomes negligible but simultaneously the channel mobility significantly degrades because the inactive neutral traps allow additional collisions of electrons at the interface. This is confirmed by the fact that a gate bias adversely affects the channel mobility. An activation energy of such traps is estimated as 170 meV. The activated trap charges' trapping and de-trapping processes in response to the gate pulse bias reveal that the time constants for the slow and fast processes decrease due to additionally activated traps as the temperature increases.

The Cahn-Hilliard equation was proposed as a phenomenological model for describing the process of phase separation of a binary alloy. The equation has been applied to many physical applications such as amorphological instability caused by elastic non-equilibrium, image inpainting, two- and three-phase fluid flow, phase separation, flow visualization and the formation of the quantum dots. To solve the Cahn-Hillard equation, many numerical methods have been proposed such as the explicit Euler's, the implicit Euler's, the Crank-Nicolson, the semi-implicit Euler's, the linearly stabilized splitting and the non-linearly stabilized splitting schemes. In this paper, we investigate each scheme in finite-difference schemes by comparing their performances, especially stability and efficiency. Except the explicit Euler's method, we use the fast solver which is called a multigrid method. Our numerical investigation shows that the linearly stabilized stabilized splitting scheme is not unconditionally gradient stable in time unlike the known result. And the Crank-Nicolson scheme is accurate but unstable in time, whereas the non-linearly stabilized splitting scheme has advantage over other schemes on the time step restriction.

The domination of the Internet by TCP-based services has spawned many efforts to provide high network utilization with low loss and delay in a simple and scalable manner. Active queue management (AQM) algorithms attempt to achieve these goals by regulating queues at bottleneck links to provide useful feedback to TCP sources. While many AQM algorithms have been proposed, most suffer from instability, require careful configuration of nonintuitive control parameters, or are not practical because of slow response to dynamic traffic changes. In this paper, we propose a new AQM algorithm, hybrid random early detection (HRED), that combines the more effective elements of recent algorithms with a random early detection (RED) core. HRED maps instantaneous queue length to a drop probability, automatically adjusting the slope and intercept of the mapping function to account for changes in traffic load and to keep queue length within the desired operating range. We demonstrate that straightforward selection of HRED parameters results in stable operation under steady load and rapid adaptation to changes in load. Simulation and implementation tests confirm this stability, and indicate that overall performances of HRED are substantially better than those of earlier AQM algorithms. Finally, HRED control parameters provide several intuitive approaches to trading between required memory, queue stability, and response time.

별도의 점화원 없이 스스로 점화가 가능한 접촉점화 추진제는 부식성과 독성으로 인하여 취급의 어려움이 있다. 따라서 독성이 적거나 없는 친환경 접촉점화 추진제의 개발이 필요하며, 본 연구에는 친환경 접촉점화 추진제의 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 산화제로 95%의 과산화수소, 연료로 CNU_HGFv1를 사용하였으며 액적 낙하 시험, 점화 시험 및 연소 시험을 통하여 추진제의 점화 및 연소 특성을 확인하였다. 액적 낙하 시험 결과 점화지연 시간은 9.7ms 이며, 점화시험에서는 약 27ms로 추진제로 사용하기에 충분히 빠른 것을 확인하였다. 연소시험 결과 약 11.7bar에서 연소 효율 95.4~98.1%를 달성하였으며, 하드스타트 및 연소 불안정 없이 빠르고 안정적인 연소가 가능함을 확인하였다.

The wind-driven doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is currently under pressure to be more grid-compatible. The main concern is the fault ride-through (FRT) requirement to keep the generator connected to the grid during faults. In response to this, the paper introduces a novel model and new control scheme for the DFIG. The model provides a means of direct stator power control and considers the stator transients. On the basis of the derived model, a robust linear quadratic (LQ) controller is synthesized. The control law has proportional and integral actions and takes account of one sample delay in the input owing to the microprocessor's execution time. Further, the influence of the grid voltage imperfection is mitigated using frequency shaped cost functional method. Compensation of the rotor current pulsations is proposed to improve the FRT capability as well as the generator performance under grid voltage unbalance. As a consequence, the control system can achieve i) fast direct power control without instability risk, ii) alleviation of the problems associated with the DFIG operation under unbalanced grid voltage, and iii) high probability of successful grid FRT. The effectiveness of the proposed solution is confirmed through simulation studies on 2MW DFIG.

Preventive control has to solve two important problems. The first is fast and accurate severity assessment of instability originated from the occurrence of a dangerous contingency. The second is to choose an action able to stabilize it. In this paper we assess contingencies in power systems using PASF(Power Angle Shape Filtering) and control power systems by a generation rescheduling. The control action stabilize the whole set of harmful contingencies simultaneously. Note that conventional time-domain transient stability methods can hardly tackle preventive control. So, we study the preventive control using off-line method. The proposed method is applied to prevent and to correct loss of synchronism of all the generators in a operating systems data.

The spray and acoustic characteristics of a gas/liquid swirl coaxial injector are studied experimentally. The self-pulsation is defined as a pressure and flow rate oscillations by a time-delayed feedback between liquid and gas phase. Self-pulsation has strong influences on atomization and mixing processes and accompanies painful screams. So. the spray and acoustic characteristics are investigated. Spray patterns are observed by shadow photography technique in order to determine the onset of self-pulsation. And self-pulsation boundary with Injection conditions and recess length is get. To measure the frequency of the spray oscillation. oscillation of the laser intensity which passes through spray is analyzed by Fast Fourier Transform. For acoustic tests, a PULSE System was used. Acoustic characteristics of a swirl coaxial injector are investigated according to the injection conditions. such as the pressure drop or the liquid and gas phase. and injector geometries. such as recess length and gap size between the inner and outer injector. Front the experimental results. the increase of recess length leads to the rapid increase of the sound pressure level. And as the pressure drop of the liquid phase increases. the frequency of the self?pulsation shifts to the higher frequency. The frequency of spray oscillations is the same as that of the acoustic fields by self-pulsation.

The saddle node bifurcation (SNB) and the distance voltage instability are valuable information in power system planning and operation. This paper presents a new efficient, robust and unified strategy to compute the SNB by the combined use of the continuation power flow (CPF), Point of Collapse (PoC) method, and the method of a pair of multiple load flow solutions (PMLFS) with Lagrange interpolation utilizing only their advantages: the approximate nose curves and critical loading are determined fast by Lagrange-interpolating two stable and two unstable solutions obtained by using the robust CPF and PMLFS; the exact SNB is computed by the quadratically converging PoC method. The proposed method has been tested on Klos-Kerner 11-bus, New England 30-bus, IEEE 118-bus and KEPCO 791-bus systems. The method is found to be so efficient that computation time for determining the SNB of the KEPCO 791-bus system is 17.82 sec by a notebook PC with 300 MHz Pentium processor.

Due to the inherent feedforward of load current, capacitor current (CC) control shows a fast transient response that makes it suitable for the power supplies used in various portable electronic devices. However, considering the effect of the outer voltage loop, the stable range of the duty-cycle is significantly diminished in CC controlled buck converters. To investigate the stability effect of the outer voltage loop on buck converters, a CC controlled buck converter with a proportion-integral (PI) compensator is taken as an example, and its second-order discrete-time model is established. Based on this model, the instability caused by the duty-cycle is discussed with consideration of the outer voltage loop. Then the dynamical effects of the feedback gain of the PI compensator and the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the output capacitor on the CC controlled buck converter with a PI compensator are studied. Furthermore, the design-oriented closed-loop stability criterion is derived. Finally, PSIM simulations and experimental results are supplied to verify the theoretical analyses.

본 연구는 질량-스프링 모델 기반의 직물 모델에서 질점의 움직임을 분석하여 실시간 직물 애니메이션이 가능한 퍼지 추론 기법을 제안한다. 지금까지 직물과 같은 탄성체를 표현하기 위한 많은 기법들은 질량-스프링 모델을 사용하였다. 직물은 다수의 질량과 스프링의 조합으로 구성되어 변형 가능한 면을 이루게되고, 면의 움직임은 운동법칙을 기반으로 수치적분을 통해 계산될 수 있다. 제안된 방법과 동일한 직물구조에서 Explicit 오일러 방법은 ${\Delta}t$ > 0.01 일 경우 불안정성 문제가 나타났으며, Implicit 오일러 방법은 ${\Delta}t$ = 0.03 에서도 애니메이션이 생성되지만 많은 양의 선형 시스템을 계산해야 하는 단점을 가지고 있어서 실시간 처리에 부적합하다. 본 연구는 질량-스프링 모델에서 질점의 움직임을 계산하기 위하여 ${\Delta}t$ = 0.03을 가지면서도 실시간 처리가 가능한 방법을 제안한다.
