This paper presents the study of 3-Phase bi-directional DC to AC inverter with unity power factor. 3-Phase bi-directional DC to AC inverter is important for the bi-modal PV PCS with an energy storage system. Both Inverting and converting are needed to connect between the grid side and boost converting side to charge and discharge the energy storage system. The paper proposes the appropriate circuit topology and proper control system for the bi-directional inverter. It also proposes the method of selecting the optimum control method considering system stability. PSIM simulation is used to validate the proposed algorithm.

When the suction pressure of compressor decreases under its limit, the compression ratio is increased causing the malfunctions of compressor. As the method to decrease the compression ratio, hot gas bypass system is usually adopted in heat pump system. In the hot gas bypass system, the discharged gas from the compressor is bypassed into the compressor suction, which causes the increase of suction pressure and the decrease of compression ratio. In this study, the characteristics and performances of the hot gas bypass system in heat pump was investigated experimentally with a variation of the bypass flow rate ratio. With the increase of the bypass rate ratio, the compressor suction pressure was increased, even though the total capacity and COP was decreased. From the analysis of the experimental results, the optimum pressure control algorithm was suggested in this study.

It is shown that the multiscale prewhitening matched filter for detecting Gaussian objects in Markov noise can be implemented by the undecimated wavelet transform with a biorthogonal spline wavelet. If the object to be detected is Gaussian shaped and its scale coincides with one of those computed by the wavelet transform, and if the background noise is truly Markov, then optimum detection is realized by thresholding the appropriate details image. Our detection algorithm is applied to the digitized mammograms for detecting microcalcifications. However, microcalcifications are not exactly Gaussian shaped and its background noise may not be Markov. In order to campensate for these discrepancy, Hotelling observer is employed, which is applied to feature vectors comprised of 3-octave wavelet coefficients.

In many applications of power electronics, high frequency resonant inverters are used, and the PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation), PFM(Pulse Frequency Modulation) or PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) techniques are used to control the output power of resonant inverters. And the resonant inverters have to control the output frequency for the reliable operation under the variable load conditions. In this paper, a new switching scheme is proposed as a PWM control of resonant inverters. With the proposed method, it can be obtained that optimum resonant frequency and unity output displacement factor under the variable resonant frequency adaptively. The detail algorithm or the proposed PWM switching scheme and its output characteristics are discussed. And the veridity of the proposed method is confirmed with the experimental results.

In this paper, a new method for first order plus dead time(FOPDT) model identification is proposed, which can identity multiple points on a process step response in terms of classification of time response. The process input and output to the test are decomposed into the transient part and the steady-state part. The steady-state part express one FOPDT model and the transient part express variously FOPDT model using least square estimation method. The optimum parameter tuning algorithm for PID controller of the Smith Predictor is proposed through ITAE as performance index. The Simulation results show the validity and improvement of performance for various processes.

In this paper, we propose a new channel identification technique for long code DS/CDMA DMB down link system which estimate the channel response based on the signal space vector only, unlike the most conventional subspace method relying on the orthogonal property of noise space vectors to the signal space vector. Because of this property of the proposed method, it is optimum and practical in manipulation of the covariance matrix to be analyzed. In the paper, we derive the mathematical expression necessary to clarify the proposed method and show the relevant simulation and numerical results to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm.

This paper presents an efficient Quantized Equal Gain Transmission(QEGT) codebook index searching technique for MISO beamforming system in a Rayleigh flat fading channel. The searching time for the optimum weight vector among the codebook vectors increases exponentially when the codebook size increases linearly, although the bit error rate decreases. So, newly defined simple metric is proposed for fast searching, which determines a few candidates. Then the conventional method combined with accurate search algorithm selects the optimal index. This strategy significantly reduces the overall search time, while maintaining almost the same bit error rate performance. Furthermore, as the codebook size increases, the search time is considerably decreased compared to that of the conventional approach.

In this paper, for minimizing the real-time operating load losses of the power transformer, a SCADA optimum operating system was developed, and the economic analyses on the test operation were performed. Transformer loss DB which reflects the economic integration operation criteria was constructed by referring the transformer manufacturer's loss data(iron loss, copper loss). Based on the loss DB, each substation transformer real-time loss was calculated according to the size of the transformer loads, and if integration or separation transformer operating conditions minimizing the loss are met, then a window pops-up and the dispatcher performs the substation equipments operation according to the procedure provided by this system. With the existing SCADA main program, the relation database of the substation facilities and integration/separation operation algorithm were developed and applied to Auto MTR Processor and pconn Processor Task module. Seven stations test data for seven months were analyzed for the economic analyses, and the results showed that Cost-Benefit ratio was 2.64, and IRR(Internal Rate of Return), 36%, which asserted the economic justification of the proposed system.

In this paper, a novel and robust Power System Stabilizer (PSS) is proposed as an effective approach to improve stability in electric power systems. The dynamic performance of proposed PSS has been thoroughly compared with Conventional PSS (CPSS). Both the Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) techniques are applied to optimum tune the parameter of both the proposed PSS and CPSS in order to damp-out power system oscillations. Due to the high sufficiency of both the RCGA and PSO techniques to solve the very non-linear objective, they have been employed for solution of the optimization problem. In order to verify the dynamic performance of these devices, different conditions of disturbance are taken into account in Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) power system. Moreover, to ensure the robustness of proposed PSS in damping the power system multi-mode oscillations, a Multi Machine (MM) power system under various disturbances are considered as a test system. The results of nonlinear simulation strongly suggest that the proposed PSS significantly enhances the power system dynamic stability in both of the SMIB and MM power system as compared to CPSS.

The use of optimum content of supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) such as limestone filler (LF) to blend with Portland cement has been resulted in many environmental and technical advantages, such as increase in physical properties, enhancement of sustainability in concrete industry and reducing $CO_2$ emission are well known. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been already applied in civil engineering to solve a wide variety of problems such as the prediction of concrete compressive strength. The feed forward back propagation (FFBP) algorithm and Tan-sigmoid transfer function were used for the ANNs training in this study. The training, testing and validation of data during the backpropagation training process yielded good correlations exceeding 97%. A parametric study was conducted to study the sensitivity of the developed model to certain essential parameters affecting the compressive strength of concrete. The effects and benefits of limestone filler on hardened properties of the concrete such as compressive strength were well established endorsing previous results in the literature. The results of this study revealed that the proposed ANNs model showed a high performance as a feasible and highly efficient tool for simulating the LF concrete compressive strength prediction.
