This paper presents a study of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic arrays with only one current sensor. Initially, a review of MPPT methods with only a current sensor is performed with extension for a variety of dc/dc converters. Furthermore, the same topology is developed to achieve better performance in the presence of sensor offset and environmental noise. The proposed method is robust, cost effective, and behaves well dynamically and in the steady state. After a theoretical analysis of presented approach, its validity and effectiveness are verified by simulation and experimental results.

본 논문에서는 IEEE와 ZigBee Alliance에서 제정한 국제 표준안과 호환성을 가지고, 저전력 저비용을 강점으로 하는 지그비를 이용하여 상대적으로 열악한 전송 환경을 갖지만 적용이 용이한 무선망과, 기존 무선 기반 센서 네트워크 단점을 극복하기 위해 이미 구축되어 있는 동축케이블을 이용한 유선망을 연동함에 있어서 RSSI 모니터링을 통한 출력파워 조절 알고리즘을 이용하여 저전력 소모를 특징으로 하는 지그비 장치의 새로운 저전력 소모 방안을 제시하였다. 보다 최적화된 저전력 소모를 가능하도록 실험을 통해 RSSI 모니터링을 통한 출력 파워 조절 알고리즘의 유효성을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 사용하지 않는 전기제품에서 불필요하게 소비되는 대기전력을 절감하기 위한 장치를 개발하였다. 도플러 센서를 사용하여 사람이 콘센트 주변에 존재 유무에 따라 콘센트의 전원공급과 차단을 자동으로 수행하는 장치이다. 도플러 센서는 동축 케이블 트랩을 사용하여 송신 안테나를 설계하였으며 10GHz 대역의 RF신호를 방사하여 대상 물체로부터 반사된 파장이 변화된 반사파 신호를 수신부로 수신하여 물체를 감지하여 사람의 접근을 인지하도록 하였다. 대기전력을 자동으로 차단 및 복구하여 불필요한 전력소모를 방지하여 에너지를 절약하고 누설전류에 의한 대형 화재의 위험성을 방지할 수 있는 대기전력 자동 차단 및 복구 장치를 개발하였다.

In this paper, the parameter identification for localization scheme for the optics-based micro sensor node is conducted. We analyzed short measurement range problem which can be occurred in optical based micro sensor node localization method using a time of flight. And we set up the theory for distance and maximum reflected laser power to overcome the problem by identifying hardware parameters like laser power, effective area of MEMS CCR, sensitivity of photodetector, and so on. Experimental results of measurement of maximum reflected laser power were compared with results of the theory. By using the theory, we can identify hardware parameters of localization scheme to measure particular position of the optics-based micro sensor node.

To operate electric power systems economically and stably, and to supply the electric power of good quality, it is necessary that the measured information (current, voltage, and so on) be detected and transmutted with high reliability and high effieincy. For the reason, the optical magnetic field sensor is possible to rapidly detect to over current and recover when electric power line have fault. In addition, the optical sensor have no electro magnetic distortion and no electric insulation. In this study, we designed OCR(Over Current Relay) using optical sensor. The designed OCR using optical sensor was measured characteristic and compared contentional OCR. This system have highest optical advantages and reliability.

Useful continuous sensing applications are increasingly emerging as a new class of mobile applications. Meanwhile, open, multi-use sensor devices are newly adopted beyond smartphones, and provide huge opportunities to expand potential application categories. In this upcoming environment, uncoordinated use of sensor devices would cause severe imbalance in power consumption of devices, and thus result in early shutdown of some sensing applications depending on power-hungry devices. In this paper, we propose EnergyCordy, a novel inter-device energy use coordination system; with a system-wide holistic view, it coordinates the energy use of concurrent sensing applications over multiple sensor devices. As its key approach, we propose a relaxed sensor association; it decouples the energy use of an application from specific sensor devices leveraging multiple context inference alternatives, allowing flexible energy coordination at runtime. We demonstrated the effectiveness of EnergyCordy by developing multiple example applications over custom-designed wearable senor devices. We show that EnergyCordy effectively coordinates the power usage of concurrent sensing applications over multiple devices and prevent undesired early shutdown of applications.

Electric Power Steering (EPS) system is superior to conventional Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS) system in aspect of fuel economy and environmental concerns. The EPS system consists of torque sensor, electric motor, ECU (Electric Control Unit), gears and etc. Among the elements, the torque sensor is one of the core technologies of which output signal is used for main input of EPS controller. Usually, the torque sensor has used torsion bar to transform torsion angle into torque and needs linear characteristic in terms of flux variation with respect to rotation angle of permanent magnet. The torsion angle of both ends of a torsion bar is measured by a contact variable resistor. In this paper, the sensor is accurately analyzed using 3D finite element method and its characteristics with respect to four different shapes of the stator teeth are compared. The four shapes are rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal and circular type.

This paper presents a compact and low-power on-chip touch sensor and readout circuit using shunt proximity touch sensor and its design scheme. In the proposed touch sensor readout circuit, the touch panel condition depending on the proximity of the finger is directly converted into the corresponding voltage level without additional signal conditioning procedures. Furthermore, the additional circuitry including the comparator and the flip-flop does not consume any static current, which leads to a low-power design scheme. A new prototype touch sensor readout integrated circuit was fabricated using complementally metal oxide silicon (CMOS) $0.18{\mu}m$ technology with core area of $0.032mm^2$ and total current of $125{\mu}A$. Our measurement result shows that an actual 10.4 inches capacitive type touch screen panel (TSP) can detect the finger size from 0 to 1.52 mm, sharply.

This paper describes investigations of the UHF(Ultra High Frequency) PD(Partial Discharge) measuring technology designed for monitoring of PD in high power apparatus. Based on the spiral antenna theory, the hole type sensor for GIS with metal flange spacer and injection type sensor for oil filled transformer are developed. The experimental results show measurement characteristics of the PD sensor for several artificial defects in gas-insulated system(GIS) and oil transformer. Moreover, we proposed the new $\phi$-f-q method for the purpose of condition assessment of high power apparatus.

센서네트워크에서 주요자원문제는 에너지효율이다. 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하기 위한 방법에는 두 가지가 있다. 첫번째는 동적파워매니지먼트(DPM)이고, 두번째는 에너지효율프로토콜을 사용하는 것이다. DPM에서 파워메니저 OS는 이벤트에 관한 CPU와 각 I/O의 올바른 파워상태를 조절하는데 있다. 그러나, OS는 각 네트웤프로토콜의 내적동작에 대해서는 크게 관계가 없다. 또한, 에너지효율 프로토콜은 전파 PHY의 파워세이빙에 주요하게 맞춰져있다. 더불어, 무선 센서네트워크에서 대부분작업은 통신에 관계되어져있다. 본논문에서, 센싱부와 에드훅 무선센스노드 사이에 관계된 통신작업에서 상호협력 매니지먼트(CPM)을 통해 원치않는 파워소비을 줄일 수 있는 효율 파워메니져를 만들었다.
