Characteristics of off-grid hybrid renewable energy sources for high mountain villages are discussed. Considering reliability of electric power generation, Photovoltaic (PV)-wind hybrid and PV-hydro hybrid system are suggested. Connecting two or more villages with these hybrid systems, an extended hybrid off-grid can be formed. Sustainability of entire system is important in design of off-grid system, and income generation of the village people using the electricity should be considered.

The present study presents the Phasor Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (PDPSO) algorithm, an effective optimization technique, the multi-dimensional vectors of which consist of magnitudes and phase angles. PDPSO is employed in the configuration of micro-grids. Micro-grids are concepts of distribution system that directly unifies customers and distributed generations (DGs). Micro-grids could supply electric power to customers and conduct power transaction via a power market by operating economic dispatch of diverse cost functions through several DGs. If a large number of micro-grids exist in one distribution system, the algorithm needs to adjust the configuration of numerous micro-grids in order to supply electric power with minimum generation cost for all customers under the distribution system.

This paper studies the method to predict voltage variation that can be presented in the case of operating a small-sized wind turbine in grid connection to the isolated small-sized power system. In order to do this, it makes up the simplified simulation model of the existing power plant connected to the isolated system, load, transformer, and wind turbine on the basis of PSCAD/EMTDC and compares them with the operating characteristics of the actual established wind turbine. In particular, it suggests a simplified model formed with equivalent impedance of the power system network including the load to analytically predict voltage variation at the connected point. It also confirms that the voltage variation amount calculated by the suggested method accords well with both simulation and actually measured data. The results can be utilized as a tool to ensure security and reliability in the stage of system design and preliminary investigation of a small-sized grid connected wind turbine.

As the distributed generation becomes more reliable and economically feasible, it is expected that a higher application of the distributed generation units would be interconnected to the existing grids. This new generation technology is linked to a large number of factors like economics and performance, safety and reliability, market regulations, environmental issues, or grid connection constrains. KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) is performing the project to develope the Distributed Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) technolgies by using Swine BIO-ENERGY. This paper describes the plans and strategies for the renewable energy of MGT on actual grid-connection under Korean situations. KEPCO also, has a research plan on bio-gas pretreatment system applicable to our domestic swine renewable resources and is performing concept design of pilot plant to test grid operation. In addition, this testing will be conducted in order to respond to a wide variety of needs for application and economic evaluation in the field of On-site generation.

As Decentralized Generation(DG) becomes more reliable and economically feasible, it is expected that a higher application of DG units would be interconnected to the existing grids. This new market penetration of DG technologies is linked to a large number of factors like technologies costs and performances, interconnection issues, safety, market regulations, environmental issues or grid connection constrains. This paper describes the procedures and results for the mechanical, electrical, and environmental tests of MGT on actual grid-connection under Korean regulations. As one of the achievements, the simulation model of MGT was developed, so that it will be able to analyze or propose new distributed generation system using MGT. The field test was conducted in order to respond to a wide variety of needs for noise reduction and utilization and its performance was evaluated in consideration of its operational problems. The MGT is successfully supplying electricity to Korean grids with satisfying various regulations. The suggested strategy and experience for the evaluation of the distributed generation will be used for the introduction of other distributed generation technologies into the grid in the future.

세계적으로 그린빌딩, 스마트빌딩 등과 같은 마이크로 워터 그리드 단위의 초고층 빌딩이 증가되는 추세로 수자원과 에너지의 수요증대 등과 같은 문제를 해소하기 위해 그린빌딩 인증 제도가 시행되고 있다. 그러나 마이크로 워터 그리드 단위의 그린빌딩 인증제도 내에서 전력과 에너지 분야는 활발한 연구개발사업이 진행되고 있는 반면 수자원의 연계·연속 활용을 통해서 물의 재이용, 물 절약 등과 같은 지속가능한 수자원의 활용에 대한 연구는 다소 미흡한 상태에 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 그린빌딩 인증제도에서 다중수원의 연계연속 활용을 위해 수자원 부문에 대한 특성과 한계점을 분석하고, 마이크로 워터 그리드 단위의 그린빌딩이나 스마트빌딩 및 복합단지 내외에서 상수, 자연 및 대체수자원 등과 같은 각종 수자원이 연계연속 활용할 수 있는 평가방법과 성능평가기준을 제시하고자 한다.

A two-facet approach was used to investigate the parametric performance of functional high-speed DDR3 (Double Data Rate) DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) die placed in different types of BGA (Ball Grid Array) packages: wire-bonded BGA (FBGA, Fine Ball Grid Array), flip-chip (FCBGA) and lead-bonded $microBGA^{(R)}$. In the first section, packaged live DDR3 die were tested using automatic test equipment using high-resolution shmoo plots. It was found that the best timing and voltage margin was obtained using the lead-bonded microBGA, followed by the wire-bonded FBGA with the FCBGA exhibiting the worst performance of the three types tested. In particular the flip-chip packaged devices exhibited reduced operating voltage margin. In the second part of this work a test system was designed and constructed to mimic the electrical environment of the data bus in a PC's CPU-Memory subsystem that used a single DIMM (Dual In Line Memory Module) socket in point-to-point and point-to-two-point configurations. The emulation system was used to examine signal integrity for system-level operation at speeds in excess of 6 Gb/pin/sec in order to assess the frequency extensibility of the signal-carrying path of the microBGA considered for future high-speed DRAM packaging. The analyzed signal path was driven from either end of the data bus by a GaAs laser driver capable of operation beyond 10 GHz. Eye diagrams were measured using a high speed sampling oscilloscope with a pulse generator providing a pseudo-random bit sequence stimulus for the laser drivers. The memory controller was emulated using a circuit implemented on a BGA interposer employing the laser driver while the active DRAM was modeled using the same type of laser driver mounted to the DIMM module. A custom silicon loading die was designed and fabricated and placed into the microBGA packages that were attached to an instrumented DIMM module. It was found that 6.6 Gb/sec/pin operation appears feasible in both point to point and point to two point configurations when the input capacitance is limited to 2pF.

최근, 국·내외적으로 CO₂배출의 저감을 위한 기술적인 방안 중 하나로 도서지역의 마이크로그리드에 기 설치된 디젤발전기의 가동률을 줄이고 신재생에너지전원의 비중을 높여 운용하고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 국내에서는 가파도, 가사도, 울릉도 등의 도서지역에 디젤발전기와 신재생에너지, 전기저장장치로 구성된 독립형 마이크로그리드의 실증 및 보급 사업이 활발하게 진행되고 있으며, 기존의 디젤발전기 대신 정전압, 정주파수(constant voltage constant frequency, CVCF) 기능을 가진 CVCF 인버터 및 CVCF 인버터용 배터리를 도입하여 마이크로그리드를 안정적으로 운용하는 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 그러나, CVCF 인버터 기반 마이크로그리드의 정상상태 운용특성에 있어서, 출력이 불안정한 태양광전원과 풍력발전과 같은 신재생에너지전원이 계통에 연계되면서 전력품질에 많은 문제가 발생하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 신재생에너지전원과 전기저장장치 연계에 따른 마이크로그리드의 운용특성을 분석하기 위하여, PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 30kW급 마이크로그리드 시스템을 모델링하고, 이를 바탕으로 마이크로그리드 시험장치를 구현한다. 30kW급 마이크로그리드 시스템을 바탕으로 시뮬레이션 및 시험을 수행한 결과, 제안한 방법이 CVCF 인버터 기반의 마이크로그리드 시스템에서 저전압, 과전압 및 불평형 문제를 개선하는 데 유용함을 확인하였다.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is widely used to aid the navigation of aerial vehicles. However, the GPS cannot be used indoors, so alternative navigation methods are needed to be developed for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) flying in GPS-denied environments. In this paper, a real-time three-dimensional (3-D) indoor navigation system and closed-loop control of a quad-rotor aerial vehicle equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a low-cost light detection and ranging (LIDAR) is presented. In order to estimate the pose of the vehicle equipped with the two-dimensional LIDAR, an octree-based grid map and Monte-Carlo Localization (MCL) are adopted. The navigation results using the MCL are then evaluated by making a comparison with a motion capture system. Finally, the results are used for closed-loop control in order to validate its positioning accuracy during procedures for stable hovering and waypoint-following.
