In this study, we analyzed the maximum output power characteristics of crystalline silicon photovoltaic module by change of environmental effects. The electrical, optical and thermal property of PV modules were investigated during outdoor test period about 70 days. There was a fluctuation in maximum output power by change in transmittance caused by environment effects like rain, snow and dust. The effects of external environmental change were analyzed using climate data. Also local thermal temperature variation and transmittance imbalance on surface of PV module which might lead degradation of constituent material were detected using infrared camera. The further analysis is describe in the following paper.

In this paper, modified two-port time-domain passivity approach is proposed for stable bilateral control of teleoperators under time-varying communication delay. We separate input and output energy at each port of a bilateral controller, and propose a sufficient condition for satisfying the passivity of the bilateral controller including time-delay. Output energy at the master port should be less than the transmitted input energy from the slave port with time-delay, and output energy at the slave port should be less than the transmitted input energy from the master port with time-delay. For satisfying above two conditions, two passivity controllers are attached at each port of the bilateral controller. A packet reflector with wireless internet connection is used to introduce serious time-varying communication delay of teleoperators. Average amount of time-delay was about 190(msec) for round trip, and varying between 175(msec) and 275(msec). Moreover some data packet was lost during the communication due to UDP data communication. Even under the serious time-varying delay and packet loss communication condition, the proposed approach can achieve stable teleoperation in free motion and hard contact as well.

As moving away from fossil fuel makes rapid progress, new paradigm has arisen in the power industry area. Developing alternative energy source is progressing actively, the proportion of renewable energy in electricity production is expected to be increased. Because the output of wind farm depends on wind characteristic, minimizing the output fluctuation is a key to keep the power system controllable and stable. Various compensation scheme for stabilizing the output of wind farm has been developed. Considering some requirements such as reaction velocity, controllability, scalability and applicability, energy storage system is one of the effective methods for spreading of renewable energy. In this paper, method of compensating method with forecasting algorithm was simulated, and then the results was analyzed.

A wide-voltage-conversion range bidirectional DC-DC converter is proposed in this paper. The topology is comprised of one typical LC energy storage component and a special common grounded asymmetric H-bridge with four active power switches/anti-parallel diodes. The narrow output PWM voltage is generated from the voltage difference between two normal (wider) output PWM voltages from the asymmetric H-bridge with duty cycles close to 0.5. The equivalent switching frequency of the output PWM voltage is double the actual switching frequency, and a wide step-down/step-up ratio range is achieved. A 300W prototype has been constructed to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed bidirectional converter between the variable low voltage side (24V~48V) and the constant high voltage side (200V). The slave active power switches allow ZVS turn-on and turn-off without requiring any extra hardware. The maximum conversion efficiency is 94.7% in the step-down mode and 93.5% in the step-up mode. Therefore, the proposed bidirectional topology with a common ground is suitable for energy storage systems such as renewable power generation systems and electric vehicles with a hybrid energy source.

The output characteristics of intracavity frequency doubling of laser-diode end-pumped Nd:S-VAP laser were investigated. Nd:S-VAP is suitable for a microchip laser medium, which has a low threshold property because of a very high value of the stimulated emission cross-section and lifetime product. The threshold energy measured was 81 J.ll. The second harmonic output energy measured was $126\mu\textrm{J}$at a pump energy of $2\mu\textrm{J}$. We described for intracavity frequency doubling by using theoretical calculations. Q-switched second harmonic energy measured was $15\mu\textrm{J}$per pulse with a pulse-width of 26 ns. at a pump energy of 2 mJ and an $M^2$ of 1.47 represented a good beam quality. ality.

As a part of electro-mechanical totally implantable artificial heart, a transcutaneous energy transmission system has been developed. By mutual magnetic induction between the first coil on the skin and the subcutaneously implanted second coil, the system transfers electrical power through the skin. This research aimed a minimizing the size of the implanted part as well as maximizing the transfer efficiency. When an air gap is 1$\sim$2cm, voltage gain and current gain low and it is hard to transfer energy due to large leakage flux. That is, the required input voltage and input current must be large compared with the output voltage and output current, respectively, This paper research the inverter topology and the control method in order to increase the voltage gain and the current gain. For this purpose, this inverter employs double tune to compensate the large leakage inductance of primary and secondary of the transcutaneous transformer. And the output energy of transcutaneous energy transmission system supply for Lithium-ion battery charger.

A Ti:Sapphire laser pumped by the HCP has been designed and fabricated to study the optimal pumping conditions for lasing. The fluorescence energy converter LD-490 has been used. The result showed that the threshold energy of Ti:Sapphire laser is 1.39 KJ and the best efficiency is $7.13{\times}10^{-3}$% at the concentration $1.0{times}10^{-3}$ Mol/l of LD-490 dye. However, the efficiencies were decreased with the decrease of dye concentrations. The maximum output energy was obtained at 50 Torr Ar pressure, when the input voltage was 15 kV. As a convert dye, BBQ, was added to LD-490 with the rate of 1:1, the output energy was increased, whereas the thereshold energy was decreased as 1.17 kJ.

This paper presents the characteristics of power generation output at Haeng-won wind farm and how to determine the optimized ESS capacity for power stabilizing. Depend on the fluctuation rate of wind power output variation, wind farm capacity and site, power stabilization will be impacted. Therefore, we need to determine proper ESS capacity. Using the actual data of Haeng-won wind farm from 2009. 3 to 2010.2., capacity of ESS was determined by moving average value. To verify the proposed algorithm, simulations are carried out with PSCAD/EMTDC program. As a result, optimal ESS capacity of Haeng-won wind farm in Jeju is estimated about 1.63 MWh.

This study describes a proposed method of converting an input sound signal into a color image by emulating human synesthetic skills which make it possible to associate an sound source with a specific color image. As a first step of sound-to-image conversion, features such as fundamental frequency(F0) and energy are extracted from an input sound source. Then, a musical scale and an octave can be calculated from F0 signals, so that scale, energy and octave can be converted into three elements of HSI model such hue, saturation and intensity, respectively. Finally, a color image with the BMP file format is created as an output of the process of the HSI-to-RGB conversion. We built a basic system on the basis of the proposed method using a standard C-programming. The simulation results revealed that output color images with the BMP file format created from input sound sources have diverse hues corresponding to the change of the F0 signals, where the hue elements have different intensities depending on octaves with the minimum frequency of 20Hz. Furthermore, output images also have various levels of chroma(or saturation) which is directly converted from the energy.

A family of non-isolated DC-DC three-port converters (TPCs) that allows for a more flexible power flow among a renewable energy source, an energy storage device and a current-reversible DC bus is introduced. Most of the reported non-isolated topologies in this area consider only a power consuming load. However, for applications such as hybrid-electric vehicle braking systems and DC microgrids, the load power generating capability should also be considered. The proposed three-port family consists of one unidirectional port and two bi-directional ports. Hence, they are well-suited for photovoltaic (PV)-battery-DC bus systems from the power flow viewpoint. Three-port converters are derived by combining different commonly known power converters in an integrated manner while considering the voltage polarity, voltage levels among the ports and the overall voltage conversion ratio. The derived converter topologies are able to allow for seven different modes of operation among the sources and load. A three-port converter which integrates a boost converter with a buck converter is used as a design example. Extensions of these topologies by combining the soft-switching technique with the proposed design example are also presented. Experiment results are given to verify the proposed three-port converter family and its analysis.
