본 논문에서는 7개의 MMIC 전력증폭기 칩과 박막기판을 결합하여 MIC 모듈을 구성함으로써 Ka-대역 중심주파수 영역에서 10 W 이상의 출력전력을 가지는 펄스모드 전력증폭기 모듈을 설계하고 제작하였다. 전력증폭기 모듈의 제작에는 밀리미터파 대역에 적합한 수정된 형태의 윌킨슨 전력분배기/합성기와 모듈의 조림과정에서 공진을 억제하고 작은 삽입손실 특성을 보이는 CBFGCPW-Microstrip 천이구조를 활용하였다. 전력용 MMIC 바이어스 회로에 사용된 큰 값의 바이패스 캐패시터에 의해 발생되는 펄스모드 출력전력의 감소를 개선하고자 TTL 펄스 타이밍 제어 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법을 10 kHz, $5\;{\mu}sec$ 펄스모드로 동작하는 전력증폭기 모듈에 적용한 결과 펄스모드 동작시간을 200 nsec 이상 개선할 수 있었고 0.62 W의 출력전력을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 구현된 전력증폭기 모듈은 59.5 dB의 전력이득과 11.89 W의 출력전력을 보여주었다.

Solar hot water system produces hot water using solar energy. If it is not used effectively, overheating occurs during the summer. Therefore, a lot of research is being done to solve this. This study develops thermoelectric power module applicable to solar hot water system. A thermoelectric material can directly convert thermal energy into electrical energy without additional power generation devices. If there is a temperature difference between high and low temperature, it generate power by Seebeck effect. The thermoelectric module generates electricity using temperature differences through the heat exchange of hot and cold water. The water used for cooling is heated and stored as hot water as it passes through the module. It can prevent overheating of Solar hot water system while producing power. The thermoelectric module consists of one absorption and two radiation part. There path is designed in the form of a water jacket. As a result, a temperature of the absorption part was $134.2^{\circ}C$ and the radiation part was $48.6^{\circ}C$. The temperature difference between the absorption and radiation was $85.6^{\circ}C$. Also, The Thermoelectric module produced about 122 W of irradiation at $708W/m^2$. At this time, power generation efficiency was 2.62% and hot water conversion efficiency was 62.46%.

Recently, many nation have released standard such as IEC 61000-3-2 and IEEE 59, which impose a limit on the harmonic current drawn by equipment connected to AC line in order to prevent the distortion of an AC Line. Therefore, Plasma Display Panel (PDP) which is highlightened in digital display device also has the Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit to meet the harmonic requirements. In PDP power module, the conventional boost converter is usually used for the PFC circuit. However, it comes serious thermal problem on it's bridge diode due to heat of PDP, and therefore the system stability is not guaranteed. In this paper, the bridgeless boost converter, which is used for PFC circuit of the PDP power module, is designed and verified the possibility of the application in a practical product in a view of efficiency, component count, temperature and etc.

소형위성 전력분배 및 전송모듈의 설계와 개발과정에서 딥러닝 알고리즘으로 동적 전력자원의 안정성을 평가하였다. 안정성 평가에 따른 요구사항은 소형위성 탑재체인 SAR 레이더의 전력분배모듈과 수요모듈의 전력전송기능을 구성하였다. 전력모듈인 PDM을 구성하는 스위칭 전력부품의 성능확인을 위해 동적신경망을 활용하여 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 신뢰성 검증을 위한 딥러닝 적용대상은 소형위성 본체로부터 공급되는 전력에 대한 탑재체의 전력분배기능이다. 이 기능에 대한 성능확인을 위한 모델링 대상은 출력전압변화추이(Slew Rate Control), 전압오류(Voltage Error), 부하특성(Load Power)이다. 이를 위해 첫째, 모델링으로 Coefficient Structure 영역을 정의하고 PCB모듈을 제작하여 안정성과 신뢰성을 비교 평가하였다. 둘째, 딥러닝 알고리즘으로 Levenberg-Marquare기반의 Two-Way NARX신경망 Sigmoid Transfer를 사용하였다.

Practical building integrated photovoltaic system built by Kolon E&C has been monitored and evaluated with respect to power generation, which was installed in Deokpyeong Eco Service Area in Deokpyeong, Gyeonggi, Korea. The amorphous silicon transparent PV module in this BIPV system has 44Wp in power output per unit module and 10% of transmittance with the unit dimension with $980mm{\times}950mm$. The BIPV system was applied as the skylight in the main entrance of the building. This study provided the database for the practical application of the transparent thin-film PV module for BIPV system through 11 month monitoring as well as various statistical analyses such as monthly power output and insolation. Average monthly power output of the system was 52.9kWh/kWp/month which is a 60% of power output of the previously reported data obtained under $30^{\circ}$of an inclined PV module facing south(azimuth=0). This lower power output can be explained by the installation condition of the building facing east, west and south, which was resulted from the influence of azimuth.

A power-saving mechanism for smartphone devices is developed by analyzing the features of data that are received from Internet of Things (IoT) sensors devices to optimize the data processing policies. In the proposed GreenIoT architecture for power-saving in IoT, the power saving and feedback mechanism are implemented in the IoT middleware. When the GreenIoT application in the power-saving IoT architecture is launched, IoT devices collect the sensor data and send them to the middleware. After the scanning module in the IoT middleware has received the data, the data are analyzed by a feature evaluation module and a threshold analysis module. Based on the analytical results, the policy decision module processes the data in the device or in the cloud computing environment. The feedback mechanism then records the power consumed and, based on the history of these records, dynamically adjusts the threshold value to increase accuracy. Two smart living applications, a biomedical application and a smart building application, are proposed. Comparisons of data processed in the cloud computing environment show that the power-saving mechanism with IoT architecture reduces the power consumed by these applications by 24% and 9.2%.

Solar energy is one of the renewable energy sources. It can respond to expanding energy demand. A solar cell module is designed to have a durability that can be developed over a long period of 25 years to be installed outdoors and perform like a stable power supply. We need Standard Test Condition (STC)-based power output data before and after testing to measure the power output of existing modules. The modules are shown to reduce power output by comparing data before and after outdoor experiments regardless of whether they are indoor or outdoor. It is easy to compare the power output quantities through the module simulator in the indoor. However, it takes a lot of testing time and costs to compare the power output on outdoor in the case of a high number of modules and distance from the module simulator. It can save time and costs if we can check the power output using the data in outdoor. We have used the long-term outdoor test to find the elements out that corresponds to the reductions in power output quantities. We have conducted research that matched the actual and the tests.

In this paper, we analyze the electrical characteristics of PV depending on distance among solar cells before and after lamination process. From the result, the PV module's maximum power increases about 3.37% when solar cells's distance is 10mm. And the maximum power increases up to 8.42% when solar cells's maximum distance is 50mm. It is assumed that PV module's surface temperature decreases because of increasing distance between solar cells that would give high power generation. Also, short distance between solar cell and frame result in contamination on glass. When considering reduced maximum power caused by contaminant, from that, we can fabricated PV module of lower cost with high performance.

The loss in photovoltaic power due to hailstorms has been highlighted as a major issue in the sustained growth of the PV power plant industry. This study investigates the safety of a solar module by conducting a numerical analysis of a hail test according to the IEC 61215 standard. Our study aims to elucidate the detailed behavior between the ice and solar modules and the micro-cracks forming on solar modules during hailstorms. To analyze the impact of hail, we used the ANSYS AUTODYN software to evaluate the impact characteristics on a solar module with different front glass thicknesses. The simulations show that a solar module with a glass thickness of 4.0 mm results in excellent durability against hail. The results indicate the feasibility of using simulations to analyze and predict micro-cracks on solar modules tailored to various conditions, which can be used to develop new solar modules.
