In this paper, multi-string power balancing system for streetlight was developed. Accordingly, the components of the system was developed, unit converters, MPPT control unit, a bank of Li-ion battery and controls the charging and discharging. Loss by improving the efficiency of the system through the parallel operation of the unit converter output will be reduced. And by improving the efficiency of the system through the unit converter parallel operation, output losses will be reduced. Charging and discharging efficiency of the device used in a typical solar streetlight is calculated based on the maximum power input. Because of the variation of the input power has a weakness. In this paper, flexible to changes in the input, and a system was developed to minimize the cost per watt. Measure the performance of the unit module from the system, the result was more than 91%. And the charging capacity 12 V/105 Ah, module power 180 W, respectively. Should expect to be able to improve performance through continuous monitoring in the future.

In the power system with an electric storage system that can increase utilization rate of the source of such new renewable energy, this paper introduces the approach on the daily unit commitment scheduling that determines simultaneously optimum operational condition and output of thermal generators and electric storage device. The unit commitment is one of the most important issues in economic operation and security of short-term operational plan of the power system. It is to determine on/off status of generator to minimize operational cost during the given period. The committed generator should satisfy various operational limitation such as estimated demand by system, spinning reserve condition within minimum operational cost. In order to determine on/off or charge/discharge/idle condition and output level of units and electric storage system, the MILP(Mixed Integer Linear Programming) is suggested. The proposed approach is the mixed method between LP(Linear Programming) and IP(integer programming) which seeks the value of real number and integer that maximize or minimize function objective within given condition. The daily unit commitment problem with the electric storage system is applied to MILP algorithm through linearization and formulation process. The proposed approach is applied to the test system.

This paper presents a fuzzy logical control method to implement an on-line optimum efficiency control for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. This method real-timely adjusts the output voltage of the inverter system to achieve the optimum running efficiency of the whole system. At first, the input power is calculated during the steady state in the process of efficiency optimizing. To exactly estimate the steady state of the system, this section needs check up the speed setting on timely. The second section is to calculate input power of dc-bus. The exact measurement of the voltage and current is the vital point to acquire the input power. The third section is the fuzzy logic control unit, which is the key of the whole drive system. Based on the change of input power of dc-bus and output voltage, the variable of output voltage is gained by the fuzzy logical unit. With the on-line optimizing. the whole system call fulfill the minimum input power of dc-bus on the running state. The experimental result proves that the system applied the adjustable V/f control method and the efficiency-optimizing unit possesses optimum efficiency, and it is a better choice for simple variable speed applications such as fans and pump.

This paper proposes a DEA-AR model for the efficiency evaluation of the iron ore brands in an integrated steel mill. The input factor is defined as unit cost of each brand based on CIF and two output factors are chosen as Fe and Al which are the important ingredients of iron ore. The relative importance between two output factors is determined by several experts using AHP model. The efficiency of each brand is determined using DEA and DEA-AR models. The negative correlation between the DEA-AR efficiency and the unit cost (CIF) is shown as significant whereas no significant correlation exist between the efficiency and the output factors. Also, the Kruskal Wallis rank sum test shows that there exist efficiency differences among the iron ore types whereas no difference is shown among the countries. The result could be utilized in selecting good brands of iron ores based on the DEA-AR efficiency in an integrated steel mill.

This paper compares the performances of permanent-magnet synchronous (PMS) and permanent-magnet vernier (PMV) machines for low-speed and high-torque applications. For comparison with the PMS machines, we consider two types of the PMV machine. The first one has surface-mounted permanent magnets (PMs) on the rotor and the other has PMs inserted on both sides of the stator and rotor. The PMS and PMV machines are designed to meet the condition of equal output power per unit volume. We analyze the magnetic fields of the machines using a two-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). We then compare their performances in terms of the generated torque characteristics, power factor, loss, and efficiency.

The transmission system of high speed train serve in the severe condition compared with those of other trains, namely, they have to transmit high power to run with high speed and they have to make maximum use of the limited space. To clarify the strength of gear for Korea High-speed train, a bending fatigue test is performed for the output gear of axle gear reduction unit. This paper reports the reviews of bending fatigue strength test method and the test results of output gear of axle gear reduction unit for high speed train.

An underwater speaker was made of a moving coil driver unite of usual speaker, acryl-boards, polyester resin, rubber and castor oil and it's frequency characteristics was measured in range of 250~600Hz in air water tank and sea. The results of measurements are follows: 1. Transmitting and receiving frequency of measurement frequency were similar in air, water tank and sea. 2. The input and output wave forms of a manufactured speaker which is not water-proof in air were similar to each other in 300~450Hz, but other frequencies showed distorted wave forms. 3. The input and output wave forms of an underwater speaker in water thank and sea were similar to each other in 250~600Hz. But output wave forms showed combination waves with very low frequency. 4. Transmitting and receiving frequency wave forms and resisting pressure of an underwater speaker at 80m in the depth of water were in good condition. Therefore it can be possible to use it as an underwater speaker.

Optimal engine control is needed to cope with the global environmental regulations that are globally enforced. For optimum engine control, the electronic throttle control system (ETCS) is a prerequisite. Automotive makers are having an effect on reducing emissions and improving fuel economy by applying ETCS which is designed to secure stability. The ETCS controls the output of the throttle valve by passing the output value of the accelerator position sensor (APS) to the engine control unit (ECU). In this study, the authors investigated the safety standards of domestic and overseas accelerator control system and tried to understand how the air flow control affects the engine output by replacing the throttle. The authors suggest an improvement proposal of safety standard based on the result of driving evaluation by various modes.

This paper describes a design and implementation of the practical SMPS(Switched Mode Power Supply) with multi-output independent regulation scheme. The designed SMPS is applied to the PSU(Power Supply Unit) of high power GTO drivers for a inverter system. In order to accomplish precise voltage regulations for both turn-on and turn-off bias voltages of the GTO driver, the conventional forward type PWM converter scheme is adopted with the Post Regulator using a Saturable Reactor. Analytic design criteria and control schemes are described for practical applications. Finally, the precise regulation of multi-output voltages is proved by experimental results.
