In this study, a bidirectional DC-DC converter for idle stop and go (ISG) is developed to reduce fuel consumption. A three-phase non-isolated half-bridge converter is selected through a design method by considering efficiency and volume. According to the state of charge of the batteries at both the low-voltage and high-voltage sides, buck mode, which charges a low-voltage battery from the generated motor energy, and boost mode, which provides power to the motor from the low- and high-voltage battery sides, are required in the ISG system. Hence, an autonomous and seamless bidirectional control method using a variable current limiter is proposed for mode change. A 1.8 kW engineering sample of the proposed converter has been built and tested to verify the validity of the proposed concept. The maximum efficiencies, including gate driver and control circuit losses, are 96.4% in charging mode and 96.1% in discharging mode.

In this paper, a motor control algorithm for performing a mode change without an integrated starter generator (ISG) is suggested for the automatic transmission-based hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). Dynamic models of the HEV powertrains such as engine, motor, and mode clutch are derived for the transient state during the mode change, and the HEV performance simulator is developed. Using the HEV performance bench tester, the characteristics of the mode clutch torque are measured and the motor torque required for the mode clutch synchronization is determined. Based on the dynamic models and the mode clutch torque, a motor torque control algorithm is presented for mode changes, and motor control without the ISG is investigated and compared with the existing ISG control.

We evaluated the transcriptional response of interferon (IFN)-related genes in rock bream iridovirus (RBIV)-infected rock bream under high-, low-, or no-mortality conditions induced by different stocking water temperatures. Under the high susceptibility condition (group A, water temperature 26℃, 100% mortality), only the Mx gene was expressed early, with prolonged expression, and with heavy viral loads of approximately 10⁶~10⁷ major capsid protein gene copies/μL from 4 to 10 days post infection (dpi). However, IRF1, IRF3, IRF8, STAT1, ISG15, PKR, Viperin, GVIN1, IFI44, and ISG56 were activated at later time points (8 dpi) and then quickly decreased (10 dpi). For the low susceptibility condition, the water temperature was set at 23℃ for 7 days (group B) and then reduced to 17℃. Group B exhibited a 28% mortality rate, in which persistent and effective antiviral responses were observed for long periods of time. In particular, at 20 and 22 dpi, when virus replication was peaked at approximately 10⁷/μL, the expressions of most of the IFN-related genes (IRF1, IRF3, IRF8, Mx, STAT1, ISG15, PKR, Viperin, GVIN1, IFI44, and ISG56) were significantly higher in group B than in the control group. Moreover, prolonged and higher levels of IRF3 (at least 30 dpi), IRF8 (at least 30 dpi), ISG15 (at least 30 dpi), PKR (at least 28 dpi), Viperin (at least 30 dpi), and IFI44 (at least 30 dpi) were also observed in the recovery stage of infection. Under the no-susceptibility condition at 17℃ (0% mortality), significantly elevated levels of IRF3, Mx, ISG15, and PKR were observed mostly until 20 dpi. The findings indicate that RBIV infection can induce an efficient IFN-mediated antiviral immune response in low- and no-susceptibility conditions. The findings could be valuable for effective control of viral pathogens in fish.

Error-free replication and repair of DNA are pivotal to organisms for faithful transmission of their genetic information. Cells orchestrate complex signaling networks that sense and resolve DNA damage. Post-translational protein modifications by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins, including SUMO and NEDD8, are critically involved in DNA damage response (DDR) and DNA damage tolerance (DDT). The expression of interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), the first identified ubiquitin-like protein, has recently been shown to be induced under various DNA damage conditions, such as exposure to UV, camptothecin, and doxorubicin. Here we overview the recent findings on the role of ISG15 and its conjugation to target proteins (e.g., p53,$ {\Delta}Np63{\alpha}$, and PCNA) in the control of cellular responses to genotoxic stress, such as the inhibition of cell growth and tumorigenesis.

In this paper, design of Wound Rotor Synchronous Motor(WRSM) for Integrated Starter and Generator(ISG) is performed based on Finite Element Analysis(FEA). WRSM can control not only magnitude and phase of armature current, but also field current. Thus, various control methods can be considered. Since driving characteristic of WRSM depends greatly on the control method, characteristic analysis accoding to possible driving current combination is reguired. Especially in high speed region, the control method that reduces unnecessary d-axis current by reducing field current is possible, which is similar to field weakening control. By the current combination reducing field and d-axis current, the design minimizing copper loss to increase efficiency on identical driving point is possible. In this paper, high efficient WRSM is designed applying the current combination which can minimize copper loss on each driving point.

This paper presents the experimental study of cabin thermal comfort using a cold storage heat exchanger in a vehicle air-conditioning system. Recent vehicle-applied ISG functions for fuel economy and emission, but when vehicles stop, compressors in the air-conditioning system stop, and the cabin temperature sharply increases, making passengers feel thermal discomfort. This study conducts thermal comfort evaluation in the vehicle, which is applied to a cold storage system for the climate control wind tunnel test and the vehicle fleet road test with various airflow volume rates and ambient temperatures blowing to the cold storage heat exchanger. The experimental results, in the cold storage system, air discharge temperature is $3.1-4.2^{\circ}C$ lower than current air-conditioning system when the compressor stops and provides cold air for at least 38 extra seconds. In addition, the blowing airflow volume to the cold storage heat exchanger with various ambient temperature was examined for the control logic of the cold storage system, and in the results, the airflow volume rate is dominant over the outside temperature. For this study, a cold storage system is economically useful to keep the cabin at a thermally comfortable level during the short period when the engine stops in ISG vehicles.

ISG (Idle Stop & Go) 시스템이 적용되는 자동차에 적합한 납축전지를 개발하기 위해 전극재료인 3BS ($3PbO{\cdot}PbSO_4{\cdot}H_2O$)와 4BS ($4PbO{\cdot}PbSO_4$)의 생성조건과 활물질의 화성 방법에 따른 납축전지 초기 성능과 심방전에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구 하였다. 양극과 음극 활물질을 숙성반응 중 온도 제어로 최종 생성 활물질의 상이 변하며, 납축전지의 수명에 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 초기 성능에는 3BS 활물질을 적용한 AGM 납축전지와 Flooded 납축전지가 우수한 성능을 나타내는 반면 4BS 활물질을 적용한 AGM 납축전지는 상대적으로 낮은 성능을 나타내었다. 또한, 활물질 화성 효율을 비교분석하기 위해 화성을 3 step과 9 step으로 구분하여 시험한 결과, 3BS로 제작된 AGM 납축전지에 비해 4BS 활물질을 적용한 AGM 납축전지의 초기 성능이 우수 하였다. DOD17.5% 수명시험으로 수명성능을 비교한 결과, 잦은 심방전이 요구되는 ISG 시스템에서 Flooded 납축전지는 적합하지 않았으나, AGM 납축전지는 적합한 결과를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 AGM 납축전지가 ISG 시스템 적용 자동차에 적합하였고, AGM 납축전지의 숙성, 화성 방법에 따라 수명 성능이 80% 차이를 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다.

To cope with automobile exhaust gas regulations, ISG (Idling Stop & Go) and charging control systems are applied to HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) for the purpose of improving fuel economy. These systems require quick charge/discharge performance at high current. To satisfy this characteristic, improvement of the positive electrode plate is studied to improve the charge/discharge process and performance of AGM(Absorbent Glass Mat) lead-acid batteries applied to ISG automotive systems. The bonding between grid and A.M (Active Material) can be improved by applying the Sand-Blasting method to provide roughness to the surface of the positive grid. When the Sand-Blasting method is applied with conditions of ball speed 1,000 rpm and conveyor speed 5 M/min, ideal bonding is achieved between grid and A.M. The positive plate of each condition is applied to the AGM LAB (Absorbent Glass Mat Lead Acid Battery); then, the performance and ISG life characteristics are tested by the vehicle battery test method. In CCA, which evaluates the starting performance at -18 ℃ and 30 ℃ with high current, the advanced AGM LAB improves about 25 %. At 0 ℃ CA (Charge Acceptance), the initial charging current of the advanced AGM LAB increases about 25 %. Improving the bonding between the grid and A.M. by roughening the grid surface improves the flow of current and lowers the resistance, which is considered to have a significant effect on the high current charging/discharging area. In a Standard of Battery Association of Japan (SBA) S0101 test, after 300 A discharge, the voltage of the advanced AGM LAB with the Sand-Blasting method grid was 0.059 V higher than that of untreated grid. As the cycle progresses, the gap widens to 0.13 V at the point of 10,800 cycles. As the bonding between grid and A.M. increases through the Sand Blasting method, the slope of the discharge voltage declines gradually as the cycle progresses, showing excellent battery life characteristics. It is believed that system will exhibit excellent characteristics in the vehicle environment of the ISG system, in which charge/discharge occurs over a short time.

CO2 가스 발생 감소와 연비향상을 위해서 HEV 차량은 ISG 시스템을 채용하고 있다. 이 ISG 시스템은 배터리가 감당해야 하는 전기 부하를 증대시켰고, 시동 횟수도 급격히 늘어나게 하였다. 이를 위해 AGM 연축전지가 개발되어 사용되고 있으나, 종래의 연축전지에 비해서 formation 중 전해액량 조절이 더 높은 수준으로 유지해야 됨에 따라 충전시간이 약 3배 가량 길어지게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 formation pattern의 최적화를 통해서 충전효율을 증대시켜 충전시간을 단축하고자 하였다. formation pattern의 최적화를 위해서, 16개 multi step에 10개 충전 step과 6개의 방전 step을 적용하고, step별 충전 전류를 조절한 4가지 조건(21 hr, 24hr, 27 hr, 30 hr)으로 시험을 진행하였다. 그 결과 24 hr 시험 조건이 PbO2 변환율이 가장 높게 분석되었고, 용량 103.3 %, 저온시동성능 38 sec, 충전수입성 37.36 A로 나타났다. Multi-step과 방전 step을 적용한 충전 프로그램의 결과, 충전 중에 국부적으로 급격히 발생된 분극화를 제거하고 전류의 손실을 최소함으로써 충전효율을 증가시킬 수 있음을 검증하였다. 이렇게 충전효율을 증가시킴으로써 본 연구에서는 충전시간을 기존에 비해서 약 30 % 감소시키는 탁월한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This Research focuses on how to maximize fuel economy improvement of I.S.G. while keeping 12V system. With 12V system the maximum gain of fuel economy with I.S.G. is known to be about 3~5% in FTP-75 mode because engine stop is only conducted in standstill idle. But in this study deceleration engine stop (engine speed is zero) has been tried additionally and the optimum condition for deceleration engine stop was found to maximize fuel economy improvement in practical point of view, the result of which is about 8.8% in FTP-75.
