Currently, batteries use commonly as energy sources for mobile electric devices. Due to the high density of energy, the energy storage state of a battery is very important information. To know the battery's energy storage state, it is necessary to find out the open state voltage of the battery. The open state voltage calculates with a mathematical model, but the computation of the real time state is complicated and requires many calculations. Therefore, the state observer designs to estimate in real time the battery open-circuit voltage as disturbance including model error. Using the estimated open voltage and applying it to the state estimation algorithm, we can estimate the charge. In this study, we first estimate the open-circuit voltage and design an estimation algorithm for estimating the state of battery charge. This includes errors in the system model and has a robust characteristic to noise. It is possible to increase the precision of the charge state estimation.

태양전지의 효율을 증가시키는 방법에는 표면 패시베이션, 접촉면적의 가변, back contact의 두께 가변 등이 있다. 특히, back contact 두께의 가변을 통하여 open circuit voltage의 감소를 최소화 할 수 있을 것이라고 전망 되고 있다. open circuit voltage 은 회로가 개방된 상태로, 무한대의 임피던스가 걸린 상태에서 빛을 받았을 때 태양전지의 양단에 전위차가 형성된다. 본 연구에서는 back contact 두께 가변에 따른, open circuit voltage의 변화를 확인하고 분석하는 것에 그 일차적인 초점을 두었다. 또한, open circuit voltage 뿐만 아니라, short circuit current density, fill factor, series resistance 등의 분석을 하였으며, efficiency를 계산하여 back contact 두께의 가변에 따른 소자 특성의 변화 분석을 통하여 최적화된 back contact위 두께를 연구하였다. 접촉면적에 따른 소자의 성능 변화는 후면 $SiN_X$ 70nm가 open circuit voltage를 15mV ~ 20mV 감소시키는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그 이유는 $SiN_X$가 너무 두꺼우면 BSF 덜 형성되기 때문이다. 최종적으로 $SiN_X$ 두께를 얇게하면 open circuit voltage 의 감소를 최소화 할 수 있을 것이라는 판단을 할 수 있다. 이에, back contact인 $SiN_X$ 두께 가변에 따른 open circuit voltage의 변화를 확인하였다. $SiN_X$ 두께가 증가함에 따라, Positive charges 와 Hydrogen 함유량이 증가하며, 이에 BSF 두께 감소하였다. 또한, $SiN_X$ 두께가 감소함에 따라 Doping barrier로서 역할을 못하게 되어 후면에 n+층 형성되어 open circuit voltage가 급격히 하락하였다. 본 연구에서는 back contact인 $SiN_X$ 두께를 10nm, 30nm, 50nm, 80nm 로 가변하며 실험을 진행하였다.

This paper reports an investigation conducted on two diagnostic methods based on the switching voltage pattern of IGBT open-circuit faults in voltage-source inverters (VSIs). One method was based on the bridge arm pole voltage, and the other was based on bridge arm line voltage. With an additional simple circuit, these two diagnostic methods detected and effectively identified single and multiple open-circuit faults of inverter IGBTs. A comparison of the times for the diagnosis and anti-interference features between these two methods is presented. The diagnostic time of both methods was less than 280ns in the best case. The diagnostic time for the method based on the bridge arm pole voltage was less than that of the method based on the bridge arm line voltage and was 1/2 of the fundamental period in the worst case. An experimental study was carried out to show the effectiveness of and the differences between these two methods.

It has been considered to apply GDC ($Gd_{0.1}Ce_{0.9}O_{1-X}$) for low-temperature SOFC electrolytes because it has higher ionic conductivity than YSZ at low temperature. However, open circuit voltage with using GDC ($Gd_{0.1}Ce_{0.9}O_{1-X}$) electrolyte in SOFCs, becomes lower than using YSZ (8 mol% Yttria stabilized Zirconia) electrolyte because GDC has electronic conductivity. In this work, the effect of changing GDC electrolyte thickness on the open circuit voltage has been investigated. Ni-GDC anode-supported unit cells were fabricated as follows. Mixed NiO-GDC powders were pressed and pre-sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$. And then, GDC electrolyte material was dip-coated on the anode and sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$. Finally the LSCF-GDC cathode material was screen-printed on the electrolyte and sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$. Electrolyte thickness was controlled by the number of dip-coating times. Open circuit voltage was measured depending on electrolyte thickness at $650^{\circ}C$ and found that the thicker GDC electrolyte was, the better OCV was.

Due to the excessive zero-sequence voltage in dual three-level inverter fed open-end winding induction motor systems, zero-sequence circumfluence which is harmful to switching devices and insulation is then formed when operating in a single DC voltage source supplying mode. Traditionally, it is the mean value instead of instantaneous value of the zero-sequence voltage that is eliminated, through adjusting the durations of the operating vectors. A new strategy is proposed for zero-sequence voltage elimination, which utilizes unified voltage modulation and a decoupled SVPWM strategy to achieve two same-sized equivalent vectors for an angle of $120^{\circ}$, generated by two inverters independently. Both simulation and experimental results have verified its efficiency in the instantaneous value elimination of zero-sequence voltage.

This paper proposed a real-time, low-cost, fast transistor open-circuit fault diagnosis method for voltage-source inverter fed induction motors. A transistor open-circuit changes the symmetry of the inverter topology, leading to different similarities among three phase load currents. In this paper, dynamic time warping is proposed to describe the similarities among load currents. The proposed diagnosis is independent of the system model and needs no extra sensors or electrical circuits. Both simulation and experimental results show the high efficiency of the proposed fault diagnosis method.

The address discharge characteristics of a open dielectric structure compared with the conventional panel structure are investigated by measuring the discharge firing voltage. The open dielectric structure could easily produce the discharge between the scan and the sustain electrodes by erasing the dielectric layer between two electrodes. Due to the changes in the discharge firing characteristics of the open dielectric structure between the two sustain electrodes, the conventional reset waveform including the address waveform needs to be modified. The modified driving waveform suitable for the open dielectric structure is proposed and examined in AC PDP.

We report the performance of an open-frame type low-voltage high-current DC-DC converter module developed using an active clamp forward converter circuit and current doubler rectifier. The converter module is designed with the specifications of an 1.8V output voltage, 25A output current, and 36-75V input voltage. The synchronous rectifier is used to reduce the conduction fuss at high current level and current-mode control is adapted to enhance the flexibility in the system configuration. A prototype converter module is successfully implemented within 10mm height and half brick size (58${\times}$61mm), and recorded an 84% efficiency and 4% voltage regulation for the entire input voltage range, thereby demonstrating its application potentials to future telecommunication electronics.

An optimized space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) method with common mode voltage elimination and neutral point potential balancing is proposed for an open-end winding induction motor. The motor is fed from both of the ends with two neutral point clamped (NPC) three-level inverters. In order to eliminate the common mode voltage of the motor ends and balance the neutral point potential of the DC link, only zero common mode voltage vectors are used and a balancing control factor is gained from calculation in the strategy. In order to improve the harmonic characteristics of the output voltages and currents, the balancing control factor is regulated properly and the theoretical analysis is provided. Simulation and experimental results show that by adopting the proposed method, the common mode voltage can be completely eliminated, the neutral point potential can be accurately balanced and the harmonic performance for the output voltages and currents can be effectively improved.
