The control of electrical appliances residing in the home network can be accomplished via Internet with the UPnP expansion without modifying an existing UPnP. In this paper, we propose the Internet Gateway that consists of an UPnP IGD(Internet Gateway Device) DCP(Device Control Protocol) and an UPnP Bridge as a system to control electrical appliances of home network. UPnP IGD DCP is to enable the configurable initiation and sharing of Internet connections as well as assuring advanced connection-management features and management of host configuration service. It also supports transparent Internet access by non-UPnP-certified devices. UPnP Bridge searches for local home network devices by sending control messages, while control point of UPnP Bridge looks up devices of interest on the Internet, subsequently furnishing the inter-networking controlling among devices which belong to different home network systems. With our approach, devices on one home network can control home electrical appliances on the other home network via Internet through IGD DCP with control commands of UPnP.

Shrink fitting which is assembling process to fix stator core on the motor frame is widely used at the mass production line of motors because of cost and productivity. This process produces compressive stress on a stator core, which causes negative effect for example, core and copper losses on motor performance. Magnetic properties of electrical steel are effected by both compressive and tensile and thermal stresses. Electromagnetic field analysis is considered one of the effective process since one can predict motor performance including core loss precisely. This method can consider non linear magnetic property with magnetic saturation which is typical electrical steel behavior. However this method is strongly depended on non linear magnetic data, one may have different calculation result whether considering mechanical stress or not. This study describes magnetic field analysis of a motor considering mechanical stress from shrink fitting. Analysis results are compared with each stress-free and stressed condition.

This paper presents the analyzed result of the series arc fault current by using the discrete wavelet transform. The series arcing is caused by a loose connection in series with the load circuit. The series arc current is limited to a moderate value by the resistance of the device connected to the circuit, such as an appliance or a lighting system. The amount of energy in the sparks from the series arcing is less than in the case of parallel arcing but only a few amps are enough to be a fire hazard. Therefore, it is hard to detect the distinctive difference between a normal current and a intermittent arc current. This paper, presents the variation of the ratio of peak values and RMS values of the series arc fault current, and proposes the novel series arc fault detecting method by using the discrete wavelet transform. Loads such as a CFL lamp, a vacuum cleaner, a personal computer, and a television, which has the very similar normal current with the arc current, were selected to confirm the novel method.

This paper presents an electrical power monitoring system for home energy management and an automatic appliance-identification algorithm based on the electricity-usage patterns collected during the monitoring tests. This paper also discusses the results of the field tests of which the proposed system was voluntarily deployed at 13 homes. The proposed monitoring system periodically measures the amount of power consumption of each appliance with a pre-specified time interval and effectively displays the essential information provided by the monitored data which is required users to know in order to save power consumption. Regarding the field tests of the monitoring system, the households responded that the system was useful in saving electricity and especially the electricity-usage patterns per appliances. They also considered that the predicted amount of the monthly power consumption was effective. The proposed appliance-identification algorithm uses 4 patterns: Zero-Crossing Rate(ZC), Variation of On State(VO), Slope of On State(SO) and Duty Cycle(DC), which are applied over the 2 hour interval with 25% of it on state, and it yielded 82.1% of success rate in identifying 5 kinds of appliances: refrigerator, TV, electric rice-cooker, kimchi-refrigerator and washing machine.

The home network system of ubiquitous computing concept is changing present our home life as more comfortable and safe. Also, it permits that we can connect the home network system and control the appliance which is linked to the home network system without limitation in time and place. But, as other systems that use the public network like the Internet, remote control/monitoring of the home network system that use the Internet includes problems such as user's access which is not admitted and information changing. This paper presents the efficient solution about the security problem that is recognized to important problem of the home network system. Also this paper implements the security of the home network system based on the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), adding VPN (Virtual Private Network) router that uses the IPsec to the home network system which is consisted of the ARM9 and the Embedded Linux.

This paper describes a development of smart power outlet and controller installation which is equipped for discrete power load environment such as office and home appliance. This system will sense a real-time power consumption and analyze the status, then, will keep optimal power use condition. The proposed method is applied to the real design, and that experimental results showed good performances on the wall-outlet, also, is expected to be used in the smart home automation installations.

In this study, it has been attempted to build up a smart, stable, and integrated Next-generation Home Network (NHN) system capable of supporting more comfortable and convenient life in the future human housing domains, and to find out which institutional tasks are required to activate the related industries. Additionally, this study aims to review a variety of technologies suggested so far in several fields including information and communications, appliance, and building maintenance. This paper analyzes the advantages and disadvantages, acceptance structure and problems of standard technologies and it suggests the political methods and policies to embody them most effectively and integrally in the future. The said certification system is called 'Standardized Certification System for Korean-style Next-generation Home Network Buildings'(abbreviated to K-NHN) as a new system created for the purpose of developing, more effectively, NHN to be introduced in the future.

The implementation of home network systems In ubiquitous computing environments requires middleware that provides a method to control and operate home appliance devices. The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), which is based on the IPv4 protocol and running on a PC, consists of UPnP devices that provide relevant services and control points that control the devices. However, It is inappropriate to Implement UPnP devices on a PC, since the implementation on a PC requires much space and electrical power. In this paper, a small embedded home network device equipped with UPnP middleware is implemented on an embedded GNU/Linux system running on an ARM9 platform, in order to deal with such problems.

본 연구에서는 백색가전 제품의 특성에 맞는 임베디드 시스템 플랫폼 디자인을 제안한다. 프로세서는 최근 더욱 각광을 받고 있는 ARM 계열의 디바이스를 사용하였으며 운영체제는 임베디드 시장에서 급부상하고 있는 리눅스를 대상으로 한다. 본 연구는 백색가전 제품군 전체를 대상으로 하고 전자레인지를 이용하여 시제품을 구현하였다. 특히 백색가전은 제품의 특성상 제조원가에 민감한 제품이므로 메모리 등 시스템의 자원 사용을 최소화하여 제조원가를 낮추는 방향으로 디자인의 방향을 정해야 한다. 하드웨어 비용은 현실적으로 거의 시장에서 정해진 비용의 범주를 크게 벋어나지 못하겠으나 소프트웨어의 크기는 접근하는 방법에 따라 차이가 날 수 있다. 이에 본 논문은 가능한 탑재될 리눅스의 커널 크기를 줄이며 파일시스템 및 기타 라이브러리의 크기를 최소화하여 백색가전에 적합한 플랫폼을 제시하는데 주목적이 있다.

This paper proposes a maximum efficiency operation strategy for three-level T-type inverter in entire operation areas. The three-level T-type inverter has higher and lower efficiency areas compared with two-level inverter. The proposed strategy aims to operate in the maximum efficiency point for the low-voltage and low-power home appliances. The three-level T-type inverter is analyzed in detail, and the two operation mode selection strategy is developed. The proposed algorithm is verified by theoretical analysis and experimental results.
