The purpose of this paper is to analyze the streaming electrification mechanism (SEM) generated in UHV transformer. This experiment used Couette Charger and interpreted the mechanism hydromechanically and electromagnetically. This work estimated the turbulent core density ($\rho$o) by measuring the short circuit current (isc) and the open circuit voltage (νoc) generated in Couette Charger and also studied the changes of the short circuit (isc), the open circuit voltage (νoc), the turbulent core density ($\rho$o) and the conductivity ($\sigma$) with adding BTA to restrain streaming electrification. as a result adding BTA increased the conductivity of oil and decreased the turbulent core density($\rho$o).

To investigate whether VacA (vacuolating toxin) produced by Helicobacter pylori Korean stain 99 induces intestinal secretion, purified VacA was added to T84 cell monolayers mounted in Ussing chambers, and electrical parameters were monitored. Mucosal addition of low pH-pretreated VacA increased short circuit current (Isc). The effect was time- and dose-dependent and saturable. The time-to-peak Isc was concentration-dependent. Chloride channel inhibitors, niflumic acid or 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate (NPPB), inhibited VacA-stimulated Isc. Carbachol (CCh)-induced increase of Isc was prolonged by the addition of VacA to the mucosal side only. The effect was unaltered by the addition of niflumic acid. VacA did not show cytopathic effects. These studies indicate that VacA is a nonlethal toxin that acts in a polar manner on T84 monolayers to potentiate $Cl^-$ secretion and the response to CCh secretion without decrease in monolayer resistance. VacA may contribute to diarrhea diseases in human intestinal epithelial cells.

Photovoltaic module consists of serially connected solar cell which has low voltage characteristics. But, the other way, the whole current flow of PV module is restricted by lowest current of one solar cell. For the experiment, we make PV module composing the solar cells that have short circuit current difference of 0%, 1%, 3% and 5%. Using Light I-V and Dark I-V measurements, electrical characteristic parameters like Isc(short-circuit current), Voc(open-circuit voltage), Rs(series resistance), Rsh(shunt resistance) are analyzed. PV module of low current characteristics has electrical stress from other modules. And, such a module has a tendency of hot-spot suffering which leads degradation.

In this paper, we study The Effects of PV Cell's Electrical Characteristics for PV Module Application. Photovoltaic module consists of serially connected solar cell which has low open circuit voltage and high short circuit current characteristics. The whole current flow of PV module is restricted by lowest current of one solar cell. For the experiment, we make PV module composing the solar cells that have short circuit current difference of 0%, 1%, 3% and Random. The PV module exposed about 35days, its the maximum power drop ratio was 4.282% minimum and 6.657% maximum. And PV module of low current characteristics has electrical stress from other modules. The solar cell temperature of PV module was higher compared to PV cell. To prevent early degradation, it is need to have attention to PV cell selection.

In this paper, an energy management circuit for solar energy harvesting system is designed in $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The solar energy management system consists of an ISC(Integrated Solar Cell), a voltage booster, and an MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracker) control unit. The ISC generates an open circuit voltage of 0.5V and a short circuit current of $15{\mu}A$. The voltage booster provides the following circuit with a supply voltage about 1.5V. The MPPT control unit turns on the pMOS switch to provide the load with power while the ISC operates at MPP. The SEMU(Solar Energy Management Unit) area is $360{\mu}m{\times}490{\mu}m$ including pads. The ISC area is $500{\mu}m{\times}2000{\mu}m$. Experimental results show that the designed SEMU performs proper MPPT control for solar energy harvested from the ISC. The measured MPP voltage range is about 370mV∼420mV.

For the last two decades, waveform control techniques have been successively developed and applied for the inverter welding machines resulting in the substantial reduction of spatter generated in CO₂ welding. One of the constituents commonly involved in those techniques is to delay the instant of current increase to some extent after the initiation of short-circuiting. Although this technique has been known to be quite effective in reducing the spatter generation through the suppression of is instantaneous short circuiting, the delay time necessary for minimum spatter has not been clearly understood. In this study, the control system for varying the delay time was constructed so that the spatter generation rates could be measured over a wide range of delay time, 0.29-2.0 msec. As a result of this study, it was demonstrated that spatter generation rate(SGR) sharply decreased at delay time of 0.6 msec and longer accompanied with the change in characteristics of short circuit mode from the instantaneous short-circuiting(ISC) dominant to normal short-circuiting(NSC) dominant. Another feature that have been found in current waveform of over 0.6msec was the creation of current pulse right after the arc reignition stage. Because of this current pulses weld pool oscillated in wave-like fashion and it looks like to play an important role in developing short circuiting between electrode and weld pool.

In nearly all space environments, the solar cell degradation is dominated by protons[1]. Even through a GEO orbit lines in the electron radiation belts, the protons emitted from any solar event will still dominate the degradation[1]. Since COMS launch on June 26 2010, the proton events with the fluence of more than approximately 30 times the average level of perennial observations were observed between January 23 - 29 2012 and March 07 - 14 2012[16]. This paper studies the solar cell degradation by solar proton events in January and March 2012 for the open circuit voltage(Voc) of a witness cell and the short circuit current(Isc) of a section connected to a shunt switch. To evaluate the performance of solar cell, the flight data of voltage and current are corrected to the temperature, the Earth-Sun distance and the Sun angle and then compare with the solar cell characteristics at BOL. The Voc voltage dropped about 23.6mV compare after the March 2012 proton events to before the January 2012 proton events. The Voc voltage dropped less than 1% at BOL, which is 2575mV. The Isc current decreased negligible, as expected, in the March 2012 proton events.

In this paper, we study the electric characteristics of shading effects in photovoltaic module in case of outdoor operation. When fabricating PV module, solar cells are connected serially to obtain the high voltage because of its low open circuit voltage. And total current is determined by lowest current among solar cells. When the shading happens on PV module's surface, the current of shaded solar cell determine the total current flow. Because of this, generally by-pass diode is installed on junction box. The bypass diode operate when revered and shaded solar cell's voltage is over 0.6 voltage. The reverse-biased solar cell gives reduced maximum power of PV module and might give negative effect on durability. So, adequate by-pass installation and selection is needed.

For increasing the output voltage, six SMD(surface mount device) type AlGaAs/GaAs solar cells were connected in series. The electrical properties of the array were measured and compared with one sun (100 mW/$cm^2$) and indoor light (480 lux) conditions. Under one sun condition, output power was 21.57 mW and it was $14.67\;{\mu}W$ under indoor light condition. Under the indoor light condition, the intensity of the light is very low compared to one sun condition. Thus the Voc(open circuit voltage) and Isc (short circuit current) of the sample under indoor light condition decreased very much compared to that of under the one sun condition. This kind of solar cell power supply can be used as a power source for ubiquitous sensor network (USN).

결정질 실리콘 태양전지에서 전극 형성 공정은 Voc(Open-circuit voltage), Isc(Short-circuit current), Rser(Series resistance), Rshunt(Shunt resistance), FF(Fill factor) 특성에 영향을 주기 때문에 매우 중요하다. 하지만 paste와 선 공정에서의 조건에 따라 특성이 바뀌기 때문에 소성 공정을 최적화하기는 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 Gravure Off-set printing 방식을 이용하여 결정질 실리콘 기판 표면에 미세 전극 형성 공정을 하고 소성 조건 최적화를 위해 peak 온도와 ramp-up 속도를 변화시켜 각 조건별 특성을 비교하였다. Peak 온도가 커질수록, contact resistance의 감소에 따라 Rser가 줄어들었다. 본 연구를 통해 Voc는 619mV, FF는 77.9%로 측정되는 Gravure Off-set 태양전지에 최적화된 소성 공정 조건을 확보하였다.
