Power loss reduction and total harmonic distortion(THD) minimization are two important goals of improving three-level inverters. In this paper, an optimized pulse width modulation (PWM) strategy that can reduce switching losses and balance the neutral point with an optional THD of three-level neutral-point-clamped inverters is proposed. An analysis of the two-level discontinuous PWM (DPWM) strategy indicates that the optimal goal of the proposed PWM strategy is to reduce switching losses to a minimum without increasing the THD compared to that of traditional SVPWMs. Thus, the analysis of the two-level DPWM strategy is introduced. Through the rational allocation of the zero vector, only two-phase switching devices are active in each sector, and their switching losses can be reduced by one-third compared with those of traditional PWM strategies. A detailed analysis of the impact of small vectors, which correspond to different zero vectors, on the neutral-point potential is conducted, and a hysteresis control method is proposed to balance the neutral point. This method is simple, does not judge the direction of midpoint currents, and can adjust the switching times of devices and the fluctuation of the neutral-point potential by changing the hysteresis loop width. Simulation and experimental results prove the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed strategy.

최근 무분별한 액세스 포인트 설치로 인해 무선랜 간섭이 많이 발생하고 있으며, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 많은 기법이 제안되었다. 액세스 포인트 집단화 기법은 특정 액세스 포인트로 스테이션의 연결을 이동시켜 전송을 수행하는 액세스 포인트를 줄이는 방식이다. 이 방식은 스테이션의 연결을 강제로 이동시키므로 특정 스테이션의 전송 성능 저하가 발생할 수 있다. 액세스 포인트 전송 파워 조절 기법의 경우 연결이 끊어지는 스테이션이 발생하거나 특정 값 이하로 파워를 조절할 경우 전체적인 전송 성능 감소가 일어날 수 있다. 두 기법을 결합하면 집단화를 통해 전송을 수행하는 액세스 포인트가 줄어 간섭이 줄어들고 세부적인 전송 파워 조절을 통해 간섭 범위를 더 줄일 수 있다. 그러나 두 기법을 단순 결합하면 집단화 수행 후에 파워 조절이 가능한 경우의 수가 적어지거나 파워 조절 시 연결이 끊어지는 스테이션이 늘어나 성능 향상이 단일 기법보다 미미한 상황이 발생할 수 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 OpenFlow 기반 무선랜 환경에서 액세스 포인트 집단화 기법, 파워 조절 기법을 결합하여 각 기법의 단점을 보완하고 집단화를 수행할 때 다음 단계 전송 파워 조절 수행 시 파워 조절 가능한 경우의 수가 많아지도록 고려하여 간섭을 효율적으로 완화하는 기법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 각 기법을 비교한 결과 제안 기법의 평균 전송 지연 시간은 집단화 기법에 비해 최대 12.8%, 파워 조절 기법에 비해 최대 18.1% 감소하고, 간섭에 의한 패킷 손실률은 제안 기법이 집단화 기법에 비해 최대 24.9%, 파워 조절 기법에 비해 최대 46.7% 감소하였다. 또한 집단화 기법과 파워 조절 기법은 특정 스테이션의 데이터 처리율이 감소하는 부작용이 발생하는 반면 제안 기법은 특정 스테이션의 처리율 감소 없이 전체 데이터 처리율을 증가시킴을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study has been performed to investigate into some effects of the power density and traverse speed of laser beam on the optical microstructure, hardness and wear characteristics of medium carbon low alloy steel treated by laser surface hardening technique. The results obtained from the experiment are summarized as follows : (1) Optical micrograph has shown that finer lath martensite is formed and the amount of undissolved complex carbides increases as the traverse speed increases under the condition of a given power density, whereas the coarsening of lath martensite and the reduction of undissolved complex carbides occur with increasing the power density at a given traverse speed. (2) Hardness measurements have revealed that as the traverse speed increases, hardness values of outermost surface layer more of less decrease under low power densities, but are uniformly distributed under high power densities, also showing that they are uniformly distributed at low traverse speeds and more or less decrease at high traverse speeds with increasing the power density. (3) The effective case depth has been found to decrease from 0.26 mm to 0.17 mm with increasing the traverse speed from 1.5 m/min to 3.0 m/min at a given power density of $25.48{\times}10^3w/cm^2$ and to increase from 0.20 mm to 0.36 mm with increasing the power density from $19.11{\times}10^3w/cm^2$ to $38.22{\times}10^3w/cm^2$ at a given traverse speed of 2.0 m/min. (4) Wear test has exhibited that the amount of weight loss of laser surface hardened specimen with respect to sliding distance at a given load increases with increasing traverse speed at a given power density and decreses with increasing power density at a given traverse speed.

본 연구에서는 정격출력 870MW, 대향류 석탄보일러의 최상부층 버너운전에 따른 보일러 연소상태 변화와 보일러 효율을 측정하였다. 시험방법은 하부와 중간층 버너가 운전중인 상태에서 최상부층 전방버너, 전,후방 버너 동시 운전, 후방 버너 운전으로 구분하여 최상부층 버너 운전에 따른 보일러 효율을 측정하였으며 시험 결과 최상부층 전 후방 버너 동시운전 > 최상부층 전방 버너 > 최상부층 후방 버너 운전의 순으로 보일러 효율이 높게 나타났다. 최상부층 전방과 후방 버너를 동시에 운전할 경우 보일러 노 내 열흡수율 증가 및 대류전열면 좌우 증기온도 편차가 감소되었다. 보일러 열흡수율 개선에 따라 보일러 배기가스손실 감소 및 석탄공급량이 후방버너 운전 대비 8t/h 감소하였으며, 이는 연료비 절감은 물론 온실가스 배출량 감축에도 크게 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

Half-rail stacked drivers are used to reduce power consumption of the drivers for synchronous buck converters. In this paper, the stacked driver is optimized by matching the average charging and discharging currents used by high-side and low-side drivers. By matching the two currents, the average intermediate bias voltage can remain constant without the aid of the voltage regulator as long as the voltage ripple stays within the window defined by the hysteresis of the regulator. Thus the optimized driver in this paper can minimize the power consumption in the regulator. The current matching requirement yields the value for the intermediate bias voltage, which deviates from the half-rail voltage. Furthermore the required capacitance is also reduced in this design due to decreased charging current, which results in significantly reduced die area. The detailed analysis and design of the stacked driver is verified through simulations done using 5V MOSFET parameters of a typical 0.35-${\mu}m$ CMOS process. The difference in power loss between the conventional half-rail driver and the proposed driver is less than 1%. But the conventional half-rail driver has excess charge stored in the capacitor, which will be dissipated in the regulator unless reused by an external circuit. Due to the reduction in the required capacitance, the estimated saving in chip area is approximately 18.5% compared to the half-rail driver.

Operating performance of industrial gas turbines in combined cycle power plants depends upon atmospheric conditions. Compressor fouling caused by airborne particles in the atmosphere and their adhesions on compressor blades is one of critical phenomena related to the performance degradation of industrial gas turbines. Compressor fouling provokes increase of pressure loss in inlet duct, decrease of mass flow rate of intake air and decrease of compressor stage efficiency. In this study, impacts of compressor fouling on the performance of an industrial gas turbine operating at design point condition are investigated analytically. As results, it is found that the reduction of produced power with decreased mass flow rate of intake air caused by narrowed flow area by the adhesion of airborne particles on compressor blades is the most dominant impact on the gas turbine performance by the compressor fouling phenomena.

Based on the application of an integrated dynamic brake (IDB) system that uses a PWM inverter fed-AC motor drive to operate the piston, a new active zero state PWM (AZSPWM) is proposed to improve the stability and reliability of the IDB system by suppressing the conducted electro-magnetic interference (EMI) noise under a wide range of load torque. The new AZSPWM reduces common-mode voltage (CMV) by one-third when compared to that of the conventional space vector PWM (CSVPWM). Although this method slightly increases the output current ripple by reducing the CMV, like the CSVPWM, it can be used within the full range of the load torque. Further, unlike other reduced common-mode voltage (RCMV) PWMs, it does not increase the switching power loss. A theoretical analysis is presented and experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.

This paper presents optimized design, fabrication and thermal characteristics of micro-heaters for thermal MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) applications using SOI and trench structures. The micro-heaters are based on a thermal measurement principle and contains thermal isolation regions of 10 ${\mu}m$-thick Si membranes consisting of oxide-filled trenches in the SOI membrane rim. The micro-heaters were fabricated with Pt-RTD on the same substrate via MgO buff layer between Pt thin-film and $SiO_2$ layer. The thermal characteristics of micro-heater with trench-free SOI membrane structure was $280^{\circ}C$ at input power 0.9 W; in the presence of 10 trenches, it was $580^{\circ}C$ due to reduction of the external thermal loss. Therefore, a micro-heater with trenches in SOI membrane rim structure provides a powerful and versatile alternative technology for enhancing the performance of micro-thermal sensors and actuators.

With current real economic growth of more than 10% per year, the Chinese energy consumption is rapidly increasing. Coal supply consists of the vast majority of China's total energy consumption requirements in 2008. China, the largest energy consumer, is expected to be heavily dependent on coal for future power generation, too (IEA,2009). A growing concern on global warming, on the other hand, drives Chinese government to declare her commitment to the reduction of CO2 emission by 2020. In this paper, China's energy market is examined for the current and future primary energy mix. Coal is found to be the biggest part accounting for 68.7% of total primary energy consumption while coal-fired power accounts for over 80% of the total power generation. The importance of Clean Coal Technology is being discussed based on the findings of the importance of coal in China's economy and its sustainable development. Among the technologies involved, a brief investigation of IGCC(Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) technology with a review on current IGCC projects in China are provided from the perspective of environmental benefits. Studies on regional Chinese power market is also conducted. It is found that the regulated power tariff in electricity system makes the power suppliers suffer from financial loss and changes in the electricity price system is under serious consideration by Chinese government. Even though Chinese power market system causes difficulties of commercialization for IGCC technology, the potential benefits will be high due to China's huge requirements of power generating capacity and its heavy reliance on coal if the electricity price system can be changed smoothly.
