During the SI engine starting up, starting conditions directly contribute to the harmful emissions in spark ignition engines. The effects of catalyst temperatures and fuel injection skip methods on HC emissions were investigated. The test was conducted on a 1.5L, 4-cylinder, 16 valve, multipoint-port-fuel-injection gasoline engine. To understand the formation of HC emissions, HC concentration was measured in an exhaust port using a Fast Response Flame Ionization Detector(FRFID). The result showed that HC emissions, which were generated during initial stage of the starting, could be reduced by coolant temperature and fuel injection skips. And through the vehicle test of ECE15+EUDC, it is convinced that the optimized fuel injection skip method according to coolant temperatures have favourable effects on the reduction of harmful exhaust emissions including HC during the SI engine start.

Tone injection scheme has been known as one of peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction methods deployable to multi-carrier system like orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The basic idea in tone injection scheme is to enforce the constellation size larger so that each of original constellation points is mapped into the preassigned distinct locations. According to the tone injection scheme, it increases symbol power highly induced inherently by expanding constellation to get optimal PAPR reduction. In the other hand, to get optimal power increase, the PAPR would be reduced insufficiently with limited tone injection signal. To withstand these problems, this paper consider the reduction of the PAPR and power increase problem simultaneously, Toward this, the tone injection scheme accomplished by employing the weighted sum genetic algorithm which has been utilized to solve multi-objective optimization problem (MOOP). The simulation results verifies that the proposed scheme can control the effective PAPR performance and alleviation of power increase flexibly by the weight value at the expense of relatively low complexity.

The studies on the electronic control fuel injection system for a DI diesel engine have done for reducing the exhaust emission and improving fuel consumption. The electronic control fuel injection system is classified into a common rail system, a unit injector system and a high pressure injection system. The characteristics of these systems are largely depends on the operating characteristics of its solenoid that have high speed on-off operation. In order to improve these characteristics of fuel injection system, it is necessary to design the optimal shape of solenoid and select the input method of its power source. It was proposed HELENOID, COLENOID, DISOLE, and Multipole Solenoid in the studies of design for the optimal shape of solenoid. The studies on the energizing method, input method for power of solenoid were dealt with the conventional energizing method, the chopping method and the pre-energizing method. In order to find out the high response characteristics of solenoid, it is necessary to test the performance of optimally designed solenoid with a new energizing method. In this paper, the solenoid of multi-pole type with plat armature and its power control unit to control input current by the chopping method designed, and its response tests were performed according to its energizing conditions. As a result, the maximum input current for solenoid was controlled by the period of first stage exciting current and chopping duty ratio of control stage exciting current, and the fastest "on" time was able to get 0.46ms. The conditions of fastest "on" time was 0.3ms for first stage exciting current, 0.16ms for control exciting current and 75% for chopping duty ratio.

The active filter of current injection type is the device which eliminates the harmonics in ac line by injecting the harmonic compensating current into the ac side. And its harmonic reduction performance is entirely dependent on the control scheme of the current-fed inverter and the harmonic compensating current becomes the PWM wave by the inverter. This PWM compensating current can be determined by selecting the switching function properly which eliminates the harmonics up to any order with using no independent sources. The new injection current model is derived by the proposed method which is called the optimized injection method. The overall characteristics of the proposed method are investigated through digital computation and the feasibility is proved with experimental results obtained from the Z-80 microcomputer control of the active filter.

High-speed and high-torque performance is required in the ultra-high speed electric injection molding machine field. To implement this performance, the big-size inverter is needed and the corresponding converter should be used. In this case, the whole cost for configuring the system will be increased. In this paper, we introduce a method which is able to reduce the energy and the cost for configuring the system using the energy regeneration. The energy regeneration method is based on reusing the regeneration power generated at the electric motor during decelerating the injection motion. In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the method by using the ultra-high speed injection motion.

In this paper, the new Islanding detection method is studied for utility interactive photovoltaic system(UIPVS). It describes the brief of UIPV system and the features of islanding phenomenon. The new islanding detection method for improving the detection characteristics, HCIM(Harmonic Current Injection Method), is proposed and analyzed. The impedance curve of AC load is derived from the complex power equation for testing Islanding detection features. The proposed detection method and the derivation of islanding condition we verified by the simulation with ACSL and the laboratorial experiments.

As the emission limits for NOx in power generation facilities were strengthened, HRSGs installed in the 1990s became necessary to install additional DeNOx system. However, since there is no space in the HRSG for installing the entire the catalyst and ammonia injection grid, as an alternative, the catalyst was installed inside of the HRSG and the ammonia injection device was installed in the exhaust duct of the gas turbine. Experiments were conducted in horizontal HRSG of Incheon combined cycle power plant. Experimental results show that the ammonia injection method in the gas turbine exhaust duct is 1.2 times higher than the HRSG internal ammonia injection method. However when operating a HRSG for 30 years as its life span, ammonia injection method in the gas turbine exhaust duct is more economical than the cost of new HRSG construction.

VSC-HVDC system is vulnerable to a DC fault because the fault current can be injected from AC system to DC system during the fault. Therefore, DC circuit breaker is required to isolate faults in VSC-HVDC system. The inverse current injection method of circuit breaker has been considered as DC circuit breaker. However, the topology has drawback that the breaking time is longer than hybrid circuit breaker using semiconductor devices. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an improved topology of circuit breaker based on inverse current injection method. In addition, the proposed topology will be compared with the existing topology. And we will verify its effects by using the simulation results.

Currently, due to the serious world-wide air pollution by substances emitted from vehicles, emission control is enforced more firmly and it is expected that the regulation requirements for emission will become more severe. A new concept combustion technology that can reduce the NOx and PM in relation to combustion is urgently required. Due to such social requirement, technologically advanced countries are making efforts to develop an environment-friendly vehicle engine at the nation-wide level in order to respond to the reinforced emission control. As a core combustion technology among new combustion technologies for the next generation engine, the homogenous charge compression ignition(HCCI) is expanding its application range by adopting multiple combustion mode, catalyst, direct fuel injection and partially premixed combustion. This study used a 2-staged injection method in order to apply the HCCI combustion method without significantly altering engine specifications in the aspect of multiple combustion mode and practicality by referring to the results of studies on the HCCI engine. In addition, this study confirmed the possibility of securing optimum fuel economy emission reduction in the IMEP 8bar range(which could not be achieved with existing partially premixed combustion) through forced charging, exhaust gas recirculation(EGR), compression ratio change and application of DOC catalyst.
