In the photovoltaic applications, MPPT(maximum power point tracking) method is essential due to the non-lineality of photovoltaic output characteristics. To ensure stable tracking response, two sensors are required in conventional popular MPPTs. In modularized PV system as an AC module system, the cost of a sensor can have an effect on entire system cost because a power conditioning device is connected in a PV module. Because only a current sensor is required for proposed MPPT, it is helpful in the cost reduction point of view. In this paper, a novel MPPT using current sensor is proposed In the proposed MPPT, the voltage is derived from sensed current value. The proposed method is verified by simulation results.

In general, for a large power system like DC distribution system for buildings, several power converters are modularized for parallel operation. However, in parallel operation, inconsistency of parameters in each module causes circulating current in the whole system. Circulating current is directly related to loss, and, therefore, it is most important for the safety of the power system to supply the suitable current to each module. This paper proposes a control method to reduce circulating current caused during parallel operation. Accordingly, the validity of parallel operation system including response characteristics and normal state was verified by simulation and experiment result.

Mechanisms of the robot system should be developed according to the task. In this study, we propose improving adaptability of the robot mechanism with the modularized joint mechanism. Adaptability is the measure of the system ability to cope with change or uncertainty. Modular type joint has been widely used in development of various robots including reconfigurable robots. To build robotic systems more flexibly and quickly with low costs of manufacturing and maintenance, we have designed a modular type joint with one degree of freedom for general purpose. This module is designed to be compact, light-weight and self-controlled. In this design, we consider the kinematics and dynamics properties of the modular type joint.

The docking and recharging system for a mobile robot must guarantee the ability of the mobile robot to perform its tasks continuously without human intervention. In this paper, two docking mechanisms are proposed with localization error-compensation capability for the auto recharging system. Friction forces or magnetic forces are used between the docking parts of the docking module and those of the docking station. In addition, an auto recharging system is developed to control the power. Since the system is modularized, it can easily be adapted to other robots.

In this paper, a three-port bidirectional modular circuit applied in charging and discharging equalization for lithium-ion battery strings is proposed. This circuit consists of four MOSFETs and one transformer which provide a simple structure to be easily modularized. Compared to conventional individual cell equalization schemes, it utilizes the transformer as the energy transfer element, allowing direct transfer of energy between arbitrary two cells of three-cell battery module, thus improving the equalization efficiency significantly by using much less number of equalizers for long battery strings. Simulation results are presented to validate the circuit operation and confirm its capability to equalize the three-cell battery module.

In this paper, we introduce a domain-independent classification framework based on both k-nearest neighbor and Naive Bayesian classification algorithms. The architecture of our system is simple and modularized in that each sub-module of the system could be changed or improved efficiently. Moreover, it provides various feature selection mechanisms to be applied to optimize the general-purpose classifiers for a specific domain. As for the enhanced classification performance, our system provides conditional probability boosting (CPB) mechanism which could be used in various domains. In the mood classification domain, our optimized framework using the CPB algorithm showed 1% of improvement in precision and 2% in recall compared with the baseline.

In this paper, the framework for accelerating the development of personal robots is presented, which includes the technology such as modularization with its own processing and standardization open to the other developers. Its basic elements are Module-D(Module of DRP I) characterized functionally and VM-D(Virtual Machine of DRP I) arbitrating Module-Ds. They can suggest the effective ways for integrating various robotic components and interfacing among them. Based on this framework, we developed a fully modularized personal robot called DRP I(Dynamically Reconfigurable Personal robot). Its hardware components are easily attached to and detached from the whole system. In addition, each software of the components is functionally distributed. For the materialization of the proposed idea, we mainly focus on the dynamically reconfigurable feature of DRP I.

The recycling process for reuse of uranium in the spent fuels consists various unit processes and the decladding process to extract the spent fuel pellet from the zirconium-based cladding is the beginning process of the recycling. There are two methods - mechanical and chemical - in the decladding process. In this paper, the mechanical decladding device by using a motor as a driving part and a press pin to separate the pellets from tube has been developed. This device was automated and modularized to make the remote operation and maintenance easy.

A modular house is a house that is assembled on-site from modularized units. As such units are manufactured in a factory, the construction period is reduced, resources are recycled, and quality is improved. However, the construction technique applied to conventional modular houses has not overcome certain structural restrictions, as it is currently used to build houses less than 4 stories in height, which means that it lacks economic feasibility. For this reason, this research aims to develop a scenario of a construction method for Korean modular housing that can be applied to urban-type housing higher than 12 stories. This research is expected to provide fundamental data necessary for the future development of a construction method for Korean modular housing.
