Diesel engines have the advantages of good fuel efficiency and low emissions. Therefore, car makers have been developed various kinds of diesel engine management system to clean up emissions while improving fuel efficiency. One of them is the common rail system. In the common rail system, diesel fuel is injected into the combustion chamber at ultra high pressures up to 1,800 bar to ensure more complete combustion for cleaner exhaust gas, and highly precise multiple injection reduces NOx emission, combustion noise and vibration. Generally speaking, common rail system consists of booster pump, high pressure pump, common rail, injectors, control valves, and sensors. The high pressure pump receives low pressure fuel from the booster pump and supply high pressure fuel to injectors through the high pressure common injection rail. Therefore, high pressure pump has an important role in common rail system. In this paper, we have investigated the performance of high pressure pump of common rail system.

An algorithm and a computer software are developed for the analysis of rail potential rise. The algorithm is intended to be integrated with the traction power system simulation program. In the algorithm, rail potentials are obtained by two step process. First the injection currents to the negative rail are obtained from load-flow study. In the next step, a network consisting of negative rail and the injection currents are constructed. Leakage resistance to ground are added to the network. And the network is analyzed for rail potentials. A software is developed to verify the validity of the algorithm. The result of the software is compared with the Simulink/SymPower circuit analysis result. The differences between the two results are with the acceptable range. The advantage of this algorithm is that it can be integrated with the existing traction power supply simulation program easily, which usually ignores negative rail's leakage resistance.

This paper presents a low-power 0.6-V 10-bit 200-kS/s double rail-to-rail successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The proposed scheme allows input signal with 4 times power which is compared with conventional one by applying proposed rail-to-rail scheme, and that improves signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) of NTV SAR ADCs. The prototype was designed using 65-nm CMOS technology. At a 0.6-V supply and $2.4-V_{pp}$ (differential) and 200-kS/s, the ADC achieves an SNDR of 59.87 dB and consumes 364.5-nW. The ADC core occupies an active area of only $84{\times}100{\mu}m^2$.

In this paper, low power and high slew rate CMOS rail to rail input/output opamp applicable for ouput buffer amp, in LCD source driver IC, is proposed. Proposed op-amp, is realized the characteristics of low power consumption and high slew rate adding the newly designed control stage of class-B to the conventional output stage of class-AB. From the simulation results, we know that the proposed opamp buffer can drive a 1000pF capacitive load with a 6.5V/us slew-rate, while drawing only the the power consumption of 1.19mW from 3.3V power supply.

Power facilities of urban rail transit substation is deterioration, and endurance limitation is coming, so urban rail transit facilities should take any necessary measure for maintenance and repair. In this paper proposes online monitoring system using the wireless communications for the urban rail transit. This system is constructed various departments; such as sensor, measurement, data communication, host computer, and power departments. It is designed to collect and save AI (Analog Input) information of the power facilities, and to analyze and display them. As a result, it is possible to prevent from any unexpected power cuts and monitor my abnormalities in real time, and to collect accumulated data for creating a better management system.

The power flow analysis of electrified railway is required complicated calculation, because of variable load. Train runs trough rail supplied by electric power therefore, the load value in electrified railway system fluctuates along time. The power flow algorithm in electrified railway system is different from general power system, and the power flow simulation is peformed by the particular simulation software. Powerail is simulation software for analysis of traction power supply system developed by KRRI, in 2008. This consists of load forecasting module, including TPS and time scheduling, and power flow module. This software was verified by measured current under normal feeding condition, however, has not been verified by voltage on the condition of extended feeding. This paper presents the verification of PowerRail based on voltage drop under extended feeding condition. This is performed by comparing simulation result with field test. Field test and simulation is done in commercial railway line.

An important source of noise from railways is rolling noise caused by wheel and rail vibrations induced by acoustic roughness at the wheel-rail contact. In the present paper, characteristics of rail vibration and radiated sound power from concrete slab tracks for domestic high speed train(KTX) is investigated by means of a numerical method. The waveguide finite element and boundary element are combined and applied for this analysis. The concrete slab track is modelled simply with a rail and rail pad regarding the concrete slab as a rigid ground. The wave types which contribute significantly to the rail vibration and radiated noise are identified in terms of the mobility and decay rates. In addition, the effect of the rail pad stiffness on the radiated power is examined for two different rail pad stiffnesses.

High pressure common rail injection technology has revolutionized the diesel industry. Over the last decade it has allowed engine builders to run higher injection pressures as much as above 1,300bar in order to increase engine efficiency, while reducing emissions. This common rail system has low pressure circuit which is consist of low pressure pump, cascade overflow valve and flow metering unit. The low pressure pump's purpose is to feed fuel oil to the high pressure pump. The cascade overflow valve keeps pressure in front of the metering unit constant and provides lubrication for the high pressure pump. The metering unit, known as the MPROP or fuel pressure regulator, regulates the maximum flow rate delivers to the rail. In this paper, we have investigated the performance characteristics of each components and total low pressure circuit of common rail system.

In this paper, we propose a RZ/HRZ mixture data transmission method for the asynchronous circuit design to reduce Power consumption. The dual-rail data with Rf decoding scheme is used to design asynchronous circuit, and it is easy to get a completion signal of the data validity from the native data as contrasted with sin91e-rail. However, the dual-rail scheme suffers from large chip area and increasing of Power consumption from all signals by the switching of the return-to-zero. We need to diminish number of circuit switching. The proposed RZ/HRZ data transmission reduces a switching activity to about 50% and it shows 23% lower power consumption than the conventional dual-rail coding with RZ's.
