This paper presents about design efforts of a human-sized quadruped robot leg for high energy efficiency, and verifications. One of the representative index of the energy efficiency is the Cost of Transport (COT), but increased in the energy or work done is not calculated in COT. In this reason, the input to the output energy efficiency should be also considered as a very important term. By designing the robot with customized motor housing, small rotational inertia, and low gear ratio to reduce friction, high energy efficiency was achieved. Squatting motion of one leg was performed and simulation results were compared to the experimental results for validation. The developed 50 kg robot can lift the weight up to 200 kg, and during squatting, it showed high energy efficiency. The robot showed 71% input to output energy efficiency in positive work. Peak current during squatting only appears to be 0.3 A.

In this paper, a high-efficiency DC-AC converter is used for wireless energy transmission. The DC-AC convertter is implemented by combining the oscillator and power amplifier. Given that the conversion efficiency of a DC-AC converter is strongly affected by the efficiency of the power amplifier, a high-efficiency power amplifier is implemented using a class-E amplifier structure. Also, because of the low output power of the oscillator connected to the input stage of the power amplifier, a high-gain two-stage power amplifier using a drive amplifier is used to realize a high-output power DC-AC converter. The high-efficiency DC-AC converter is realized by connecting the oscillator to the input stage of the high-gain high-efficiency two-stage class-E power amplifier. The output power and the conversion efficiency of the DC-AC converter are 40.83 dBm and 87.32 %, respectively, at an operation frequency of 13.56 MHz.

Boiler efficiency has a direct impact on energy consumptions, which results in lower cost of operations and services. Usually high efficiency boilers are regarded as boilers with an efficiency of greater than 90%. However, it is likely that normal boilers are running at significantly lower efficiencies than this. This paper presents a process of developing a highly efficient energy consumption boiler. We adopt direct heat method while normal boilers are designed as indirect heat method. The submerged combustion method is considered to design for very high efficient boiler.

Although the accuracy of handwritten character recognition based on deep networks has been shown to be superior to that of the traditional method, the use of an overly deep network significantly increases time consumption during parameter training. For this reason, this paper took the training time and recognition accuracy into consideration and proposed a novel handwritten character recognition algorithm with newly designed network structure, which is based on an extended nonlinear kernel residual network. This network is a non-extremely deep network, and its main design is as follows:(1) Design of an unsupervised apriori algorithm for intra-class clustering, making the subsequent network training more pertinent; (2) presentation of an intermediate convolution model with a pre-processed width level of 2;(3) presentation of a composite residual structure that designs a multi-level quick link; and (4) addition of a Dropout layer after the parameter optimization. The algorithm shows superior results on MNIST and SVHN dataset, which are two character benchmark recognition datasets, and achieves better recognition accuracy and higher recognition efficiency than other deep structures with the same number of layers.

Currently the country's foreign energy dependence reaches approximately 97% and the total energy consumption percentage of buildings(commercial and domestic parts) reaches approximately 24%. Building energy saving by enhanced insulation will be very important issue. Therefore, the solution is required to reduce energy loss and increasing displeasure caused by excessive influx of solar energy through windows, to solve the problems like decoloration on indoor furniture an clothes by harmful ultraviolet rays, air conditioning and increased cost. This research used for commercialization and ills semination by basic information through a evaluation on insulation performance of the window of high efficiency energy equipment which can improve the insulation performance.

본 연구의 목적은 생산 프론티어 접근을 통하여 OECD 국가의 에너지효율과 경제성장이 에너지수요에 미치는 영향을 비교하는 것이다. 본 연구는 OECD 국가를 대상으로 전통적 에너지 원단위와 생산 프론티어 접근에 의한 에너지효율, 생산 프론티어 상의 효율점에서 에너지 과다 여유분의 존재, 생산의 기술구조 하에서 GDP 증가에 따른 에너지수요 탄력성을 살펴보았다. 첫째, 전통적 에너지 원단위는 방사선 에너지효율과는 상관성이 낮고 여유분 에너지효율, 비방사선 에너지효율과 에너지 최소화 방향의 수평선 에너지효율 등과는 일정한 상관성을 보인다. 에너지 원단위만으로 에너지효율 여부를 판단하는 것은 오류가 있을 수 있다. 특히 방사선 효율에 의한 에너지효율은 대부분의 국가의 에너지효율을 과대평가하는 경향이 있다. 둘째, OECD 국가들이 프론티어 상의 효율적인 생산점에서도 불필요하게 에너지를 소비하는 것이 연평균 17.3%이므로 에너지의 추가 저감이 필요하다. 셋째, OECD 국가의 경제성장에 대한 에너지 탄력성의 평균은 1.1로서 거의 단위 탄력성에 가깝다. 탄력성의 국가별 차이는 존재하고 탄력성이 높은 국가의 에너지수요는 높다.

This paper proposes a fault tolerant and high efficiency operation algorithm for a 4 LEG DC/DC converter for a battery energy storage system(BESS) forming a main power source in a standalone DC micro grid. The BESS for the main power supply in the stand-alone DC micro-grid is required to operate at high speed according to fault tolerant control and load by operating at all times. Fault-tolerance control changes the short-circuit fault to an open-circuit fault by using a fuse in case of leg fault in 4 legs, and operates stably through phase shift control. In addition, considering the loss of the power semiconductor, the number of LEG operation is adjusted to operate at high efficiency in the full load region. In this paper, fault tolerant control and high efficiency operation algorithm of DC/DC converter for BESS in standalone DC micro grid is presented and it is proved through simulation and experiment.

제조업에서 생산설비에 사용되는 중요한 에너지원 중 하나는 전력에너지이며, 에너지 다소비 업종의 생산설비 즉, 플랜트에서는 사용하는 에너지의 절감과 효율 운전은 매우 중요한 관심사항이다. 본 논문에서는 생산 플랜트의 한 공정에서 가장 빈번히 사용되는 유도전동기를 모델로 하여 실제 진단, 계측을 통하여 측정값을 얻고, 기존의 운전 중인 설비들을 고효율 기기로 교체하였을 경우의 경제성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해서 현재 운전 중인 설비와 고효율설비로 교체하였을 경우에 대하여 각각 설비들의 연간 운전비용과 자본회수계수에 의한 연간 투자비용을 계산하였고, 이를 합산한 연간 총 운용비용을 비교하여 고효율설비의 경제적 타당성을 입증하였다.
