위성의 전력 시스템은 전력의 생산, 변환 및 분배를 담당하는 주요한 시스템으로, 임무 수명뿐 아니라 임무 횟수, 시기 등의 설계에 사용된다. 이중 전력의 변환을 담당하는 변압기의 부하와 입력 조건에 따라 안정화 설계가 이루어 져야 하지만, 실지 궤도상에서 Test 및 check-out을 진행할 수 없는 특성으로 다양한 입출 조건 변화에 대한 성능 및 안전성을 확인하기위한 방법이 요구된다. 일반적으로 위성 컨버터는 다양한 부하 조건에 따라 설계되므로, 부피 및 설계의 효율성을 위해 다중 출력 및 여러 개의 stage를 거쳐서 전력 변환이 이루어지게 된다. 하지만, 이로 인해 분석에 많은 어려움을 지니게 되어 직관적인 회로의 파악은 쉽지 않게 된다. 또한 일반적인 분석으로는 모든 상태 방적식의 해를 구하기 쉽지 않아서 실제 운용 시에 가해질 수 있는 소자에 대한 영향성에 대한 분석이 힘들 수 있게 된다. EDF model은 fundamental 주파수 분석을 통해 모든 소자에 대한 분석이 가능한 방법이며 multi-stage의 경우에도 입력 모델링으로 한꺼번에 1st stage와 2nd stage의 분석이 가능한 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 EDF 방법을 통한 modeling과 시뮬레이션 modeling을 비교하여 적용의 타당성을 분석하고, 이를 통해 제어기를 설계하여 multi-stage 컨버터의 직관적인 회로 분석이 가능함을 확인 하였다.

The photovoltaic (PV) power conditioning system for small-scale applications has gained significant interest in the past few decades. However, the standalone mode of operation has been rarely approached. This paper presents a two-stage multi-level micro-inverter topology that considers the different operation modes. A multi-output flyback converter provides both the DC-Link voltage balancing for the multi-level inverter side and maximum power point tracking control in grid connection mode in the PV stage. A modified H-bridge multi-level inverter topology is included for the AC output stage. The multi-level inverter lowers the total harmonic distortion and overall ratings of the power semiconductor switches. The proposed micro-inverter topology can help to decrease the size and cost of the PV system. Transient analysis and controller design of this micro-inverter have been proposed for stand-alone and grid-connected modes. Finally, the system performance was verified using a 120 W hardware prototype.

This study deals with a series of experimental investigations on multi-stage cold forging of an outer race used for a constant velocity (CV) joint with six inner ball grooves. The multi-stage cold forging, which consists of forward extrusion, upsetting, backward extrusion, and combined sizing-necking including ironing, was used to produce a prototype of the outer race. The cold forging tools such as forging punches and dies required in this multi-stage cold forging were also designed and fabricated. For the combined sizing-necking, especially, the longitudinally six-segmentallized punches were developed to easily eject from the necked inner groove of the outer race with consideration of the operating mechanism. Spheroidized SCr420H billet was used in the experimental study. To verify the suitability of the proposed process, the obtained parts were obtained from each forging operation, and the geometries were compared with the target dimensions. It was confirmed that the outer race with six inner ball grooves was well forged by adopting the proposed multi-stage cold forging, and the dimensional accuracy of the forged outer race matched well with the requirements.

The outer race of a constant velocity (CV) joint having six inner ball grooves has traditionally been manufactured by multi-stage warm forging, which includes forward extrusion, upsetting, backward extrusions, necking, ironing and sizing, and machining. In the current study, a multi-stage cold forging process is examined and an assessment for replacing and modifying the conventional multi-stage warm forging is made. The proposed procedure is simplified to the backward extrusion of the conventional process, and the sizing and necking are combined into a single sizing-necking step. Thus, the forging surface of the six ball grooves can be obtained without additional machining. To verify the suitability of the proposed process, a 3-dimensional numerical simulation on each operation was performed. The forging loads were also predicted. In addition, a structural integrity evaluation for the tools was carried out. Based on the results, it is shown that the dimensional requirements of the outer race can be well met.

Magnetic separation technology for small paramagnetic particles has been desired for the volume reduction of contaminated soil from the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident and for the separation of scale and crud from nuclear power plants. However, the magnetic separation for paramagnetic particles requires a superconducting high gradient magnetic separation system applied, hence expanding the bore diameter of the magnets is necessary for mass processing and the initial and running costs would be enormous. The use of high magnetic fields makes safe onsite operation difficult, and there is an industrial need to increase the magnetic separation efficiency for paramagnetic particles in as low a magnetic field as possible. Therefore, we have been developing a magnetic separation system combined with a selection tube, which can separate small paramagnetic particles in a low magnetic field. In the previous technique we developed, a certain range of particle size was classified, and the classified particles were captured by magnetic separation. In this new approach, the fluid control method has been improved in order to the selectively classify particles of various diameters by using a multi-stage selection tube. The soil classification using a multi-stage selection tube was studied by calculation and experiment, and good results were obtained. In this paper, we report the effectiveness of the multi-stage selection tube was examined.

We suggest a systematic method for obtaining the optimal compression ratio in the multi-stage closed-loop compression process of carbon dioxide. Instead of adopting the compression ratio of 3 to 4 by convention, we propose a novel approach based on mathematical analysis and simulation. The mathematical analysis prescribes that the geometric mean is a better initial value than the existing empirical value in identifying the optimal compression ratio. In addition, the optimization problem considers the initial installation cost as well as the energy required for the operation. We find that it is best to use the fifth stage in the general closed-loop type carbon dioxide multi-stage compression process.

국내 4대강에 설치된 다기능보는 하천을 횡단하는 수공구조물로써 고정보와 가동보로 구분되어 설치되었으며, 각 다기능보의 수문운영 방식에 따라 유량이 변화하여 하상변동 및 유사이동 형태의 변화 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 다기능보의 수문운영에 따른 장기 하상변동을 금강유역을 중심으로 연구하였다. 연구결과, 금강에서는 다기능보의 설치 및 수문운영 시나리오에 따라서 최심하상고의 변화가 연평균하상고의 변화에 비해서 상대적으로 큰 것으로 나타났다. 최심하상고의 하상저하는 최대 2.79 m, 하상상승은 최대 1.90 m까지 발생하는 것으로 나타났으며, 연평균하상고의 하상저하는 최대 2.16 m, 하상상승은 최대 1.24 m까지 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 하상변동에 따른 홍수위 분석 결과, 다기능보 설치 후에 홍수위가 대부분 상승하는 것으로 나타났으며, 최대 2.23 m까지 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 인해서 제방의 여유고를 상회하는 홍수위가 발생할 가능성이 있기 때문에, 하천의 유사관리 및 하천계획수립을 함에 있어서 다기능보의 수문운영을 고려해야 한다고 판단된다. 또한 본 연구결과는 향후 하천계획을 수립함에 있어서 종단적 하도관리 및 안정하상 채택 등을 위해서 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 본다.

미래의 기후조건과 생활패턴의 불확실성으로 인해 미래용수수요 또한 불확실성을 가지며, 이는 충분한 용수공급을 목적으로 하는 댐 운영에 어려움을 초래한다. 따라서 가용 수자원을 최대한 활용하여 충분한 용수분배를 하는 동시에, 홍수와 가뭄에 대한 대비까지 가능한 댐의 운영은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 미래의 불확실한 용수수요량을 정확히 알지 못하는 상태에서 저수지의 운영을 통한 저류량을 1단계에서 결정하고, 2단계에서 용수수요에 따른 용수공급량과 하천유지유량을 결정하기 위한 최적화 모형을 2단계 추계학적 선형계획법을 이용하여 구축하고, 목표저류량과 실제 저류량의 차이, 용수공급과 하천유지유량의 부족량을 최소화하기 위한 저수지 운영 규칙을 최적화하였다. 또한 가뭄시 보다 현실적이고 효율적인 저수지 운영을 위해 댐저류량에 따라 댐 계획방류량을 일정비율 줄여주는 Hedging Rule을 사용하여 모형의 적절성과 적용성을 향상시켰다. 제안된 모형은 한강수계의 댐들 중 다목적댐인 충주, 횡성, 소양강 댐과 용수전용댐인 광동 댐, 그리고 발전용 댐이지만 비교적 큰 저류용량을 가진 화천 댐을 연계 운영 대상으로 하여, 미래 용수수요량 시나리오를 고려한 최적화를 실시하였다. 그 결과 모든 시나리오에서 생공용수, 농업용수, 하천유지용수 공급량을 대부분 만족시킬 수 있었고, 댐의 저류량 역시 갈수기 용수공급에 대비하여 홍수기인 6월 말에서 9월 중순에 저류량을 확보하면서도 홍수피해저감까지 고려하는 운영이 가능하였다. 이는 다목적 댐들의 연계운영을 위한 저수지 운영규칙결정에 매우 중요한 지표가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A single-stage current-balancing multi-channel light-emitting diode (LED) driver is proposed in this study. The conventional LED driver system consists of two cascaded power conversion stages, i.e., an isolation DC/DC converter and LED driver. LED driver is usually implemented with the same number of expensive boost converters as those of LED channels to tightly control the current through each LED channel. Therefore, its overall system size is not only bulky, but the cost is rather high. By contrast, the proposed LED driver system is composed of a single power stage with the DC/DC converter and LED driver merged. Although the current balancing circuit of the proposed LED driver requires only passive devices instead of expensive boost converters, all currents through multi-channel LEDs can be well balanced. Therefore, the proposed LED driver features a small system size, improved efficiency, and low cost. To confirm the validity of the proposed driver, its operation and performance are verified on a prototype for a 46" LED TV.

A new current-balancing multi-channel LED driver is proposed in this paper. The conventional LED driver system consists of three cascaded power conversion stages and its driver stage has the same number of expensive boost converters as those of the LED channels. On the other hand, the proposed LED driver system consists of two cascaded power stages and its driver stage requires only passive devices instead of expensive boost converters. Nevertheless, all of the currents through multi-channel LEDs can be well balanced. Therefore, it features a smaller system size, improved efficiency, and lower cost. To confirm the validity of the proposed driver, its operation and performance are verified on a prototype for a 46" LCD TV.
