A pin-type load-cell which uses shear-type strain gauges was developed to measure the tension of a wire in a winch. A finite element analysis was performed to determine the locations of the strain gauges. All of the shear-type strain gauges were attached onto parts that undergo regularly shear stress distributions. A Wheatstone bridge circuit was used to connect each of the gauges and to measure the strains. Linearity within the 5% error range was noted when testing the pin-type load-cell.

The restraint force is required for the accurate measurement and analysis to protect weldment from residual stress. Also, this residual stress caused by cracks in weldments is often observed in the weldments of large size nozzles or radial tanks after welding. This paper is preformed to evaluate the welding restraint forces using load cell with STS304 thin plate which is used as the pressure vessel steel in the industry field. As a result, as the welding currents are higher and the welding speeds are more slowly, the magnitude of restraint force in process of the flat plate welding shows to be more large.

Fuel cell systems(FCS) have a financial and environmental advantage by providing electricity at a high efficiency and useful heat. For use in a residence, a polymer electrolyte fuel cell system(PEFCS) with a battery pack and a hot water storage tank has been modelled and simulated. The system is operated without connection to grid line. Its electric conversion efficiency and heat recovery performance are highly dependent on operation strategies and also on the seasonal thermal and electric load pattern. The output of the fuel cell is controlled stepwise as a function of the state of the battery and/or the storage water tank. In this study various operation strategies for cogeneration fuel cell systems are investigated. Average fuel saving rates at different seasons are calculated to find proper load management strategy. The scheme can be used to determine the optimal operating strategies of PEFCS for residential and building applications.

In this paper, operation algorithms are evaluated for a fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle (FCHEV). Power assist, load leveling and equivalent fuel algorithm are proposed and implemented in the FCHEV performance simulator. It is found from the simulation results that the load leveling algorithm shows poor fuel economy due to the system charge and discharge efficiency. In the power assist and equivalent fuel algorithm, the fuel cell stack is operated in a relatively better efficiency region owing to the battery power assist, which provides the improved fuel economy.

The transient response of PEMFC (proton exchange membrane fuel cell) is important criteria in the application of PEM fuel cell to real automotive system. In this work, using a transparent unit PEM fuel cell, the transient response and cathode flooding during load change are investigated. The cell voltage is acquired according to the current density change($0.3Acm^2$ to $0.6A/cm^2$) under various stoichiometry conditions and different flooding intensities, Also the cathode gas channel images are obtained by CCD imaging system simultaneously. The different level of undershoots appeared at the moment of load changes under different cathode stoichiometries and flooding intensities. The correlation of the dynamic behavior with stoichiometry and cathode flooding is induced from the results of these experiments.

In this paper, we developed the dynamic model of a fuel cell system suitable for controller design and system operation. The transient phenomena captured in the model include the flow characteristics and inertia dynamics of the compressor, the intake manifold filling dynamics, oxygen partial pressures and membrane humidity on the fuel cell voltage. In the simulations, we paid attention to the transient behavior of stack voltage and compressor pressure, stoichiometric ratio. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the model capability. For load current following, stack voltage dynamic characteristics are plotted to understand the Electro-chemistry involved with the fuel cell system. Compressor pressure and stoichiometric ratio are strongly coupled, and independent parameters may interfere with each other, dynamic response, undershoot and overshoot.

Recently, a fuel cell is remarkable for new generation system. The fuel cell generation system converts the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electrical energy. The fuel cell generation is characterized by low voltage and high current. For connecting to general load, it needs both a step up converter and an inverter. The step up converter makes DC to DC and the inverter changes DC to AC. In this paper, full bridge converter and the single phase inverter are designed and installed for fuel cell. Simulation and experimental results are displayed under several load conditions.

Model fer the dynamic simulation of dynamic behaviors of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is provided. This model is based upon (1) coupled mass and heat transfer characteristics and (2) important chemical reactions such as electrochemical and reforming reactions in high temperature fuel cells such as SOFC. It is found that the thermal inertia of solid materials in SOFC plays an important role to the dynamic behavior of cell temperature. Dynamic characteristics of cell voltage, power, and chemical compositions with different levels of load change are investigated.

본 논문에서는 간단한 Maximum Power Point Tracking이 적용된 micro-scale의 빛에너지 하베스팅 회로를 제안한다. 에너지 변환기로는 온칩 PV cell 대신 이와 비슷한 출력을 하는 초소형 PV cell을 사용하였다. 적용된 MPPT는 PV cell의 개방전압($V_{OC}$)와 MPP전압($V_{MPP}$)과의 관계를 이용하였고 이는 pilot PV cell을 이용함으로써 가능하였다. 설계결과 MPPT control을 적용했을 때 부하가 큰 경우에도 대략 $V_{MPP}$ 전압을 부하에 공급함으로써 부하에 연결된 회로가 정상적으로 동작하는 것을 확인하였다. 제안된 회로는 TSMC 0.18um CMOS 공정으로 설계되었다.

본 논문에서는 OS-COMA 셀룰라 시스템에서 추정된 SIR (signal-to-interference ratio) 값을 기반으로 하는 개선된 호 수락 제어(call admission control) 알고리즘을 제안하고 성능을 분석하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 기지국에서 추정된 역방향 SIR 값에 따라 알고리즘에 의해 계산된 여유용량(residual capacity)을 호 수락 제어의 기준으로 하며, 여유용량은 시스탬의 통화품질 저하 확률(outage probability)을 일정 수준 이하로 유지하면서 추가로 허용 가능한 호의 수로 계산한다. 여유용량 계산 시 자기 셀 뿐만 아니라 인접 셀의 SIR 값을 참조하며 이때 인접 셀 간섭 결합계수 $\beta$를 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 자기 셀의 통화 부하량에 따라 $\beta$값을 가변한 개선된 알고리즘을 제안하고, 시스템의 통화 부하량에 따른 호차단확률(call blocking probability) 및 통화품질저하확률 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하였다, 성능 평가를 위해 동일 부하(homogeneous load) 빛 밀집 부하(hot spot load) 조건을 고려했으며 개선된 알고리즘이 모든 부하량에서 기존의 알고리즘에 비해 성능이 우수함을 알았다. 특히 과부하 상황에서 통화품질저하확률이 일정한 값 이하로 유지되어 QoS(quality of service)를 확보할 수 있는 효과를 얻었다.
