Recently, the domestic and foreign power trends are the supply of high quality power and environment conservation technology based on the new energies development. So, the dispersed generation systems, such as photovoltaic, fuel cell, and battery are to be introduced in distribution systems. According to the situation change, power of high Quality and reliability are required in distribution systems with dispersed generation. Up to now, the voltage in distribution systems are regulated by ULTC of substation and pole transformer of primary feeders. These days, Step Voltage Regulator(SVR) is getting established at distribution feeders to regulate effectively voltage of primary ffeders that voltage drop exceeds $5\%$. But, because SVR is operated independently with ULTC of substation, SVR can not take play to its full effectivity. Under these circumstances, in order to deliver suitable voltages to as many customers as possible, new optimal voltage regulation algorithms are required in distribution system. So, this paper presents optimal voltage regulation algorithm to regulate voltage effectively for ULTC and SVR in distribution systems with dispersed generation systems.

가정용 연료전지의 상용화를 위해서는 시스템의 신뢰성과 경제성 향상이 중요한 문제이며, 경제성 향상은 시스템의 가격 절감과 컨버터의 효율 향상을 통해서 달성될 수 있다. 본 논문은 1kW급 가정용 연료전지 시스템을 위한 새로운 고효율 푸쉬풀 컨버터의 토폴로지를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 2차측을 낮은 정격 전압을 가진 정류 다이오드를 사용한 2단 정류구조로 구성하여 다이오드의 손실을 저감시키고, 다이오드의 접합 커패시턴스와 변압기의 누설 인덕턴스의 상호작용에 의해 발생하는 공진 전압의 크기를 저감시킴으로써 스너버에서 소모되는 전력을 줄여 효율을 향상시켰다. 실험에서는 일반적인 형태의 푸쉬풀 컨버터 1차측 회로와 고주파 변압기는 공유하고, 2차측회로만 변경하는 방법으로 효율을 측정하여 비교함으로써 제안된 방식의 우수함을 증명하였다. 제안된 방식의 푸쉬풀 컨버터는 기존방식에 비해 특히 경부하에서 높은 효율을 나타내었으며, 전 부하 구간에서 효율의 변화가 크지 않아 부하가변 방식의 운전에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In the present study, catalytic combustion of hydrogen-air premixture in a millimeter scale monolith coated with Pt catalyst was investigated. As the combustor size decreases, the heat loss increases in proportion with the inverse of the scale of combustion chamber and combustion efficiency decreases in a conventional type of combustor. Combustion reaction assisted by catalyst can reduce the heat loss by decreasing the reaction temperature at which catalytic conversion takes place. Another advantage of catalytic combustion is that ignition is not required. Platinum was coated by incipient wetness method on a millimeter scale monolith with cell size of $1{\times}1mm$. Using this monolith as the core of the reaction chamber, temperatures were recorded at various locations along the flow direction. Burnt gas was passed to a gas chromatography system to measure the hydrogen content after the reaction. The measurements were made at various volume flow rate of the fuel-air premixture. The gas chromatography results showed the reaction was complete at all the test conditions and the reacting species penetrated the laminar boundary layer at the honeycomb and made contact with the catalyst coated surface. At all the measuring locations, the record showed monotonous increase of temperature during the measurement duration. And the temperature profile showed that the peak temperature is reached at the point nearest to the gas inlet and decreasing temperature along the flow direction.

Personal identification is essential for the automatic measurement of biosignal information in home healthcare systems. Personal identification is usually achieved with passive radio frequency identification (RFID), which does little more than store a unique identification number. However, passive RFID is not ideal for automatic identification. We present a user identification system based on radio signal strength indication (RSSI) using ZigBee for active RFID tags. Personal identification is achieved by finding the largest RSSI value from aggregated beacon messages that are periodically transmitted by active RFID tags carried by users. Obtaining reliable person!'.! identification without restricting the orientation requires a certain distance between the closest active RFID tag from the ZED and the second closest tag. The results show that the closest active RFID tag from the ZED and the second closest tag must be at least 70 cm apart to achieve reliable personal identification.

This paper presents the procedure of drag prediction for EAV-1, based on a numerical analysis correlated to an in-flight test. EAV-1, developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute, is a small-sized UAV to test a hydrogen-fuel cell power system. The long-endurance test flight of 4.5 hours provides numerous in-flight data. The thrust and drag of EAV-1 during the flight test are estimated based on the wind-tunnel test results for EAV-1's propeller performance. In addition, the CFD analysis using a commercial Navier-Stokes code is carried out for the full-scale EAV-1. The computational result suggests that the initial CFD analysis substantially under-predicts the in-flight drag in that the discrepancy is up to 27.6%. Therefore, additional investigation for more accurate drag prediction is performed; the effect of propeller slipstream is included in the CFD analysis through "fan disk" modelling. Also, the additional drag from airplane trim and load factor that actually exists during the flight test in a circular path is considered. These supplemental analyses for drag prediction turn out to be effective since the drag discrepancy reduces to 2.3%.

이 연구는 광화학적 물분해 수소제소 기술의 일환으로 수행 중인 광촉매와 바이오촉매를 복합한 시스템 활용 기술에서 광촉매가 갖는 물리적 특성의 영향을 파악하고자 진행되었다. 다양한 물리적 특성을 갖는 광촉매 얻기 위하여 상용광촉매, 수열화법(HT-TiON), 리고 저온합성법(LT-TiON) 등을 이용하여 샘플을 준비하였다. 가시광 감응을 위하여 암모니아나 triethylamine 처리를 하여 질소를 도핑도 시도하였다. 시도된 복합시스템은 인위적인 전자주개 없이 수소를 발생시키는 결과를 보여주었으나, 광촉매로부터 엔자임으로의 전자전달 부분이 율속단계로 확인되었다. 사용된 광촉매 샘플에 따라 수소발생량에 차이가 나타난 결과로 광촉매의 미세구조 (결정상, 결정도, 기공 크기 및 비표면적 등)이 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 판단되었다. 얻어진 결과들을 활용하여 재료들이 고정화된 새로운 시스템 구성을 제안하였다.

In a direct coal fuel cell (DCFC) system, it is essential to identify volume fraction of coal suspended in electrolyte melt in order to control its dispersion and fluidity. This requirement is compelling especially at anode channel where hot slurry is likely to flow at low velocity. In this study, light scattering techniques were employed to measure the volume fraction for a pulverized coal suspension with relatively high absorption coefficient. The particle size, scattering angle, and volume fraction were varied to evaluate their effects on the scattering behavior as well as scattering regime. The larger coal size and smaller forward scattering angle could provide a shift to more favorable scattering regime, i.e., independent scattering, where interferences of light scattering from one particle with others are suppressed.

Microfluidics deals with the behavior, precise control and manipulation of fluids at a micro scale. It has become increasingly prevalent in various applications such as biomedical applications (diagnostics, therapeutics, and cell/tissue engineering), inkjet head, and fuel cells etc. The issue of inspection and characterization of microfluidics has emerged as a major consideration in design, fabrication, and detection of microfluidic devices. In this paper, we characterize a diffusion based mixing in Y-microchannel using a fluorescent optical scanner based on a DVD pick-up module, which is widely used in optical storages. Using fluorescent dye, we measure the fluorescent intensity that represents the mixing patterns in Y-microchannel. We also compare these experimental results with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation ones. It is shown that the proposed optical scanner can be used as an alternative measurement system with high performance and cost-effectiveness, compared to conventional optical tools such as epifluorescent microscopes using high resolution CCD camera and confocal microscopes with photomultiplier (PMT) detectors.

황산수소 세슘(CsHSO$_4$) 결정은 14$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 상온보다 $10^3$-$10^4$배 높은 양성자 전도성을 나타내는 초양성자 전도성 물질로서, 최근 연료 전지 분리막으로의 응용성이 크게 부각되고 있다. 그러나 연성과 흡습성 때문에 그 응용성에 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 기계적 물성이 우수한 얇은 전해질 막을 얻기 위하여 황산수소 세슘과 폴리아크릴로나이트릴 고분자와의 복합체를 제조하고 복합체의 이온 전도성과 상전이 현상을 조사하였다. 황산수소 세슘의 함량이 80 vol% 정도 되면 분리막으로 응용가능 한 전도도인 1${\times}$$10^{-3}$S$cm^{-1}$ /에 이르고 기계적 물성이 우수한 얇은 막으로 합성할 수 있었다.
