Recently, micro-grids based on a CVCF inverter have been replacing diesel generators to reduce CO2 emissions in island areas with the increase of renewable energy sources. Stable operation methods are also being researched. These micro-grids may cause energy sinking if the total output of renewable energy sources is larger than the total customer loads. In the case of energy sinking, the voltage of a CVCF battery could rapidly increase according to the condition of SOC, and blackout could occur in the micro-grid due to the operation of a protection device in a CVCF inverter. Therefore, this paper analyzes the operation characteristics of a CVCF-inverter-based micro-grid when energy sinking occurs and proposes a transient operation strategy to prevent shut-down of the CVCF inverter. A test device of a 30-kW CVCF-inverter-based micro-grid was implemented, and the transient operation characteristics for the energy sinking phenomenon are presented. The simulation results confirm that blackout can be properly prevented according to the conditions of SOC and voltage in a CVCF battery.

This paper presents a numerical simulation method for the flow around advancing ships in regular waves by using a rectilinear grid system. Because the grid lines do not consist with body surface in the rectilinear grid system, the body geometries are defined by the interaction points of those grid lines and the body surface. For the satisfaction of body boundary conditions, no-slip and divergence free conditions are imposed on the body surface and body boundary cells, respectively. Meanwhile, free surface is defined with the modified marker density method. The pressure on the free surface is determined to make the pressure gradient terms of the governing equations continuous, and the velocity around the free surface is calculated with the pressure on the free surface. To validate the present numerical method, a vortex induced vibration (VIV) phenomenon and flows around an advancing Wigley III ship model in various regular waves are simulated, and the results are compared with existing and corresponding research data. Also, to check the applicability to practical ship model, flows around KRISO Container Ship (KCS) model advancing in calm water are numerically simulated. On the simulations, the trim and the sinkage are set free to compare the running attitude with some other experimental data. Moreover, flows around the KCS model in regular waves are also simulated.

Using a multi-array needle module developed for coating of high-density cylindrical microlens array (C-MLA), we have fabricated an anti-Moiré filter for LED screens. The Moiré phenomenon appears due to the interference between the array pattern of image sensors in a camera and the non-emission area (grid pattern) of a LED screen. To suppress it, we have employed poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and coated it on a glass substrate in the form of a grid and non-grid (parallel lines). We have rotated the needle module in order to increase the number of C-MLAs. With this scheme, we have fabricated the 150 mm × 150 mm anti-Moiré filters where 836 microlens lines are formed. They show the average width of 255.4 ㎛, the average distance between CMLs of 94.6 ㎛, and C-MLA width non-uniformity of 4.7%. We have shown that the Moiré patterns still appear in the presence of the parallel (non-grid)-type filter, whereas they disappeared completely by the grid-type filter. It is due to the fact that the Moiré patterns are diffused more effectively by the grid-type C-MLA.

Recently, in order to reduce the $CO_2$ emission in the island area, countermeasures to operate power system in a stable manner are being researched due to decrease of the operation rate in diesel generators and the increase of renewable energy sources. The phenomenon of energy sinking can be occurred if the output of renewable energy sources is larger than customer loads. Voltage of CVCF(constant voltage & constant frequency) battery could be increased rapidly according to the condition of SOC(state of charge) and blackout could be occurred due to shut-down of CVCF inverter, at carbon free island micro-grid based on the CVCF inverter. In order to overcome these problems, this paper proposes a transient operation algorithm in CVCF based micro-grid which in advance prevents shut-down of CVCF inverter during the energy sinking. And also this paper proposes the modeling of micro-grid including CVCF inverter, PV system, customer load using PSCAD/EMTDC S/W. From the results of micro-grid modeling based on the proposed algorithm, it is confirmed that CVCF based micro-grid can properly prevent shut-down of CVCF inverter according to SOC and battery voltage of CVCF inverter when energy sinking is occurred.

A novel simulation scheme of transient phenomenon for the photovoltaic (PV) generation system under the real weather conditions has been proposed in this paper. A grid connected PV array is simulated using PSCAD/EMTDC. The transient changes of the output current of PV array under the real weather conditions is described and the output current of DC/AC converter flowing through the utility power network is also analyzed with the PWM switching width. Moreover, the MPPT control of PV generation system is combined to the system during the simulation for the comparison purposes of the control schemes. The outcome of the simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed simulation scheme. The result shows that the cost effective verifying for the efficiency or availability and stability of PV generation systems and the comparison research of various control schemes like MPPT under the same real whether conditions are eventually possible.

The present study is aimed to reveal macroscopic aerodynamic characteristics of two-dimensional rectangular prisms with three aspect ratios(D/H=1, 2 and 3) and six angles of attack($0^{circ}, 10^{circ}, 13.5^{circ}, 20^{circ}, 30^{circ} and 45^{\circ}$). The Reynolds number is fixed as $1\times10^4$. The SOLA-based revised finite difference method for the conservation form on irregular grid was adopted as a new numerical method. Instantaneous flow patterns at $45^{\circ}$ in case of D/H=2 and D/H=3 show larger asymmetric wake development which is closely related to the sharp decrease of drag coefficients at higher angles of attack range. Vorticity propagation into enlarged wake region is conjectured to be responsible for this phenomenon. The Strouhal number is found to be sensitive to the angle of attack at higher aspect ratios(D/H=2 and 3).

In this study, fluid-induced vibration (FIV) analyses have been conducted for tall building structure. In order to investigate the aeroelastic responses of tall building due to wind load, advanced computational analysis system based n computational fluid dynamics(CFD) and computational structural dynamics (CSD) has been developed. Fluid domains are modeled using the computational grid system with local grid deforming technique. A fully implicit time marching scheme based on the Newmark direct integration method is used for computing the coupled aeroelastic governing equations of tall structure for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. Detailed aeroelastic responses and results are presented to show the physical phenomenon of the tall building.

Islanding phenomenon of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power conditioning system (PCS) is said to occur if the PCS continues to power a section of the utility system after that section has been disconnected from the utility source. Since islanding creates hazards for personnel and equipment, PCSs are required to detect and prevent Et. In this paper, several islanding detection methods (IDMs) and reactive power variation method are described. Islanding test results for 9kW PCS are presented for verification.

Typhoon simulation based on dynamical forecasting results is demonstrated by utilizing geodesic model GME (operational global numerical weather prediction model of German Weather Service). It is based on uniform icosahedral-hexagonal grid. The GME gridpoint approach avoids the disadvantages of spectral technique as well as the pole problem in latitude-longitude grids and provides a data structure extremely well suited to high efficiency on distributed memory parallel computers. In this study we made an attempt to simulate typhoon 'NARI' that passed over the Korean Peninsula in 2007. GME has attributes of numerical weather prediction model and its high resolution can provide details on fine scale. High resolution of GME can play key role in the study of severe weather phenomenon such as typhoons. Simulation of future typhoon that is assumed to occur under the global warming situation shows that the life time of that typhoon will last for a longer time and the intensity will be extremely stronger.

Recently, the study of islanding phenomenon, maintains its operation even when the utility grid is removed has lead to the trend of utility interactive inverters in photovoltaic generation systems. In this paper, a novel Anti-islanding method is presented. the proposed method can keep the real average power component constant by MPPT control and cause the load current frequency with only change of reactive power component under the islanding condition. its periodical change of Reactive power component can decrease the NDZ(Non-Detective zone) so that the detection of various loads will be possible. the insufficient effect if additional reactive power component to the grid is proved theoretically and the islanding detection is also confirmed from a experimental result with a inverter for 3kW photovoltaic generation system applied the proposed Anti-islanding method.
