  • Ohmic heating is an internal heating method based on the principle that when an electrical current passes through food, electric resistance heat is uniformly generated internally by food resistance. Previous studies indicate that the thermal properties, external structure, internal structure, and swelling power of ohmic heat treated starch of various starches, such as potato, wheat, corn, and sweet potato, differed from those of conventional heating at the same temperature. In this study, the pasting property of starch, treated with ohmic and conventional heating, were measured by RVA (Rapid Visco-Analyzer). Our results show that as the ohmic heating temperature increased, the PV (Paste Viscosity) of the starch decreased significantly, and the PT (Pasting Temperature) increased. Changes in PV and PT indicate that the swelling of starch remains unchanged by ohm heating. The HPV (Hot Paste Viscosity), CPV (Cold Paste Viscosity) and SV (Setback Viscosity) of ohmic heated starch also differed from the conventional heated starch. The pasting property is similar to the viscosity curve of common cross-linked modified starch. In this experiment, we further confirm the similarity with modified starch and its usability.

  • Under partial shading conditions (PSCs), multiple maximums may be exhibited on the P-U curve of string inverter photovoltaic (PV) systems. Under such conditions, heuristic methods are invalid for extracting a global maximum power point (GMPP); intelligent algorithms are time-consuming; and model-based methods are complex and costly. To overcome these shortcomings, a novel hybrid MPPT (MPF-IP&O) based on a model-based peak forecasting (MPF) method and an improved perturbation and observation (IP&O) method is proposed. The MPF considers the influence of temperature and does not require solar radiation measurements. In addition, it can forecast all of the peak values of the PV string without complex computation under PSCs, and it can determine the candidate GMPP after a comparison. Hence, the MPF narrows the searching range tremendously and accelerates the convergence to the GMPP. Additionally, the IP&O with a successive approximation strategy searches for the real GMPP in the neighborhood of the candidate one, which can significantly enhance the tracking efficiency. Finally, simulation and experiment results show that the proposed method has a higher tracking speed and accuracy than the perturbation and observation (P&O) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) methods under PSCs.

  • In order to ensure the structural integrity of nuclear welded structures during design life, the fatigue life has to be evaluated by fatigue analysis procedures presented in technical codes such as ASME B&PV Code Section III. However, existing fatigue analysis procedures do not explicitly consider the presence of welded joints. A new fatigue analysis procedure based on a structural stress/fracture mechanics approach has been recently developed in order to reduce conservatism by erasing uncertainty in the analysis procedure. A recent review of fatigue crack growth data under various mean loading conditions using the structural stress/fracture mechanics approach, does not consider the mean loading effect, revealed some significant discrepancies in fatigue crack growth curves according to the mean loading conditions. In this paper, we propose the use of the stress intensity factor range ${\Delta}K$ characterized with loading ratio R effects in terms of the structural stress. We demonstrate the effectiveness in characterizing fatigue crack growth and S-N behavior using the well-known data. It was identified that the S-N data under high mean loading could be consolidated in a master S-N curve for welded joints.

  • Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) under the partial shading condition is a challenging research topic for photovoltaic systems. Shaded photo-voltaic module result in complex peak patterns on the power versus voltage curve which can misguide classical MPPT algorithms. Thus, various kinds of global MPPT algorithms have been studied. These have typically consisted of partial shading detection, global peak search and MPPT. The conventional partial shading detection algorithm aims to detect all of the occurrences of partial shading. This results in excessive execution of global peak searches and discontinuous operation of the MPPT. This in turn, reduces the achievable power for the PV module. Based on a theoretical investigation of power verse voltage curve patterns under various partial shading conditions, it is realized that not all the occurrences of partial shadings require a global peak search. Thus, an intelligent partial shading detection algorithm that provides exact identification of global peak search necessity is essential for the efficient utilization of solar energy resources. This paper presents a new partial shading determinant algorithm utilizing adaptive threshold levels. Conventional methods tend to be too sensitive to sharp shading patterns but insensitive to smooth patterns. However, the proposed algorithm always shows superb performance, regardless of the partial shading patterns.

  • Since South Korea started to apply Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) in 2012, there have been huge investment for deploying renewable technologies. Recently, the government determined to incentivize battery energy storage system(BESS) with renewable generations in order to induce the improvement of dispatching capability. In this paper, the annual pattern of PV generation based on actual generation data in South Korea is analyzed and the duration curve of capacity factor is proposed in order to provide the simplified analyzing methodology of present support policy for additional BESS installation for decision maker who is responsible for supply and demand planning. With suggested methodology, the range of appropriate BESS size with respect to the variation of system marginal price(SMP) and renewable energy certificate(REC) price can be derived briefly, and decision makers easily evaluate the effect of support scheme. Current policy for BESS installation support present additional BESS-related installation policy may give incentives to developers partially, however, the dependence between BESS size and benefit components (SMP and REC) can limit the deployment of the various portfolios of the BESS. Therefore, when improving the current policy in future, addressing the dependence between the technical aspects of battery size and the benefit components separately by the technical and economical parts is needed to set the suitable compensation rules for the renewable generation and BESS.

  • Due to uncontrollability and non-repeatability of natural irradiation and temperature, the solar array simulator (SAS) is required to conduct the MPPT power processing experiments precisely. However, the nonlinearity of PV curve characteristic is a crucial task for the control of SAS. In the literature, this issue is addressed by many authors and various methods are proposed. However, stability analysis of SAS is not enough to evaluate the control performance. In this paper, the limitations of conventional SAS are studied according to the small signal model. By using the proposed approach, the performance of two different control method for SAS system are analyzed and compared.
