Objectives : The aim of this study was to examine the effects of electro-acupuncture(EA) at the SP6(Sameumgyo)-GB39(Hyeonjong) on normal human EEG using power spectral analysis. Methods : EEG power spectrum exhibit site-specific and state-related differences in specific frequency bands. In this study, power spectrum was used as a measure of complexity(LAXTHA Co., KOREA). 30 channel EEG study was carried out in 20 subjects $(20\;males;\;age=21.4{\pm}0.5\;years)$. Results : In $\alpha$(alpha) band, the power values at F4 channels(p<0.05) during the SP6-GB39 acupoints treatment was significantly increased. But, the power values at Fz channel during the non-acupoint treatment was significantly decreased . In $\beta$(beta) band, the power values at Fz, FTC1, T3 channels(p<0.05) was significantly increased during the SP6-GB39 acupoints treatment. In $\delta$(delta) band, the power values at F4, C3, Cz, CP1, Pz channels(p<0.05) during SP6-GB39 acupoints treatment were significantly decreased.

긴급보호제어시스템(SPS, Special Protection System)은 일반적인 보호동작 범위를 벗어난 외란에 대해서 계통 전지역의 보호를 목적으로 하는 광역시스템 보호기술이다. 따라서 SPS는 외란 시에 계통 장비의 보호보다는 계통을 보호함으로써 전력 공급능력 향상에 주안점을 두게 된다. SPS는 자주 동작하지 않고 평소에는 대기 상태로 있으며, 긴급한 동작이 요구되기 때문에 많은 경우에 그 동작이 미리 결정되어 있다. SPS는 입력변수나 전력계통에의 영향에 따라 분류할 수 있는데, 입력변수에 따라서는 계통 응답에 기초한 SPS와 사고에 기초한 SPS로 나눌 수 있다. 발전기 탈락, 부하 차단이 SPS의 주요 보호 동작이며 이 외에 가스터빈이나 양수발전기 기동, AGC 제어, HVDC 고속전력변환, 분로기기의 자동스위칭 등의 제어 동작이 있다. 우리나라의 경우에는 주로 동기탈조 방지를 위한 발전기 탈락의 동작을 하는 SPS가 설치, 운전되고 있다.

A sequential optimization algorithm (SOA) for resource allocation in a cyclic-prefixed single-carrier cognitive relay system is proposed in this study. Both subcarrier pairing (SP) and power allocation are performed subject to a primary user interference constraint to minimize the mean squared error of frequency-domain equalization at the secondary destination receiver. Under uniform power allocation at the secondary source and optimal power allocation at the secondary relay, the ordered SP is proven to be asymptotically optimal in maximizing the matched filter bound on the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. SOA implements the ordered SP before power allocation optimization by decoupling the ordered SP from the power allocation. Simulation results show that SOA can optimize resource allocation efficiently by significantly reducing complexity.

Due to the need of increasing thermal efficiency, supercritical pressure and temperature have been utilized in power plants. It is well known that 9Cr1Mo steel is suitable fer use in power plants operating at supercritical conditions. Therefore, to ensure the safety and the soundness of the power plant, creep characterization of the steel is important. In this study, the creep characterization of the gCr1Mo steel using small punch creep(SP-Creep) test has been described. The applied load and the central displacement of the specimen in SP-Creep test have been converted to bearing stress and strain of uc, respectively. The converted SP-Creep curves clearly showed the typical three-stage behavior of creep. The steady-state creep rate and the rupture time of the steel logarithmically changed with the bearing stress and satisfied the Power law relationship. Furthermore, the Larson-Miller parameter of the SP-Creep test agreed with that of the tensile creep test. From the comparison with low Cr-Mo steels, the creep characteristics of 9Cr1Mo steel proved to be superior. Thus, it can be confirmed that the 9Cr1Mo steel is suitable for supercritical power plant.

Inductive power transfer (IPT) systems have become increasingly popular in recharging electric vehicle (EV) batteries. This paper presents an investigation of a series parallel/series (SP/S) resonant compensation network based IPT system for EVs with further optimized circular pads (CPs). After the further optimization, the magnetic coupling coefficient and power transfer capacity of the CPs are significantly improved. In this system, based on a series compensation network on the secondary side, the constant output voltage, utilizing a simple yet effective control method (fixed-frequency control), is realized for the receiving terminal at a settled relative position under different load conditions. In addition, with a SP compensation network on the primary side, zero voltage switching (ZVS) of the inverter is universally achieved. Simulations and experiments have been implemented to validate the favorable applicability of the modified optimization of CPs and the proposed SP/S IPT system.

전력산업의 경쟁도입 환경으로 인한 송전서비스에 대한 증가된 수요를 보여주고 있다. NERC의 1997-2000 신뢰도 평가 보고서에 의하면 과거 10년동안 대부분의 송전시스템 추가는 지역적 보강을 위해 이루어졌다. 전 계통의 시스템 능력을 강화시키는 큰 송전시스템의 증설은 거의 이루어지지 않았다. SPS는 비정상적 계통 상황을 검출하고 미리 계획된 동작을 수행함으로써 비정상적 상황을 회피하여 정상적 계통을 유지하게 한다. SPS는 계통의 송전능력을 증가시키는데 자주 이용된다. 새로운 송전설비 증설의 대안으로 비용면에서 값싼 SPS가 활용되어지는 것이다. SPS가 정확하게 동작한다면 상정사고에 대한 시스템 능력을 매우 향상된다. 그러나 미리 정의된 상황을 검출하는데 실패하거나 미리 계획된 교정동작을 수행하는데 실패한다면 매우 심각한 결과를 초래한다. IEEE-CIGRE 설문조사에서 보여주듯이 SPS 동작 실패는 비용면에서 매우 높은편으로 응답되었다. 따라서 단순 비용 평가를 통해 SPS를 도입을 결정할 수 없다. 경제적 위험 평가를 통해 SPS가 있을때와 없을때의 위험을 평가하여 의사결정에 반영하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 SPS의 위험을 평가하는 절차를 보여주고 산업에서 SPS 경험들을 소개하도록 한다.

In this paper, we propose a scheme that minimizes the energy imbalance problem of solar-powered wireless sensor network (SP-WSN) using both a mobile sink capable of wireless power transfer and an efficient clustering scheme (including cluster head election). The proposed scheme charges the cluster head using wireless power transfer from a mobile sink and mitigates the energy hotspot of the nodes nearby the head. SP-WSNs can continuously harvest energy, alleviating the energy constraints of battery-based WSN. However, if a fixed sink is used, the energy imbalance problem, which is energy consumption rate of nodes located near the sink is relatively increased, cannot be solved. Thus, recent research approaches the energy imbalance problem by using a mobile sink in SP-WSN. Meanwhile, with the development of wireless power transmission technology, a mobile sink may play a role of energy charging through wireless power transmission as well as data gathering in a WSN. Simulation results demonstrate that increase the amount of collected data by the sink using the proposed scheme.

In this paper, a reconfigurable controller consisting of a normal controller and a standby controller is designed to control the thermoelectric (TE) power in the SP-100 space reactor. The normal controller uses a model predictive control (MPC) method where the future TE power is predicted by using support vector regression. A genetic algorithm that can effectively accomplish multiple objectives is used to optimize the normal controller. The performance of the normal controller depends on the capability of predicting the future TE power. Therefore, if the prediction performance is degraded, the proportional-integral (PI) controller of the standby controller begins to work instead of the normal controller. Performance deterioration is detected by a sequential probability ratio test (SPRT). A lumped parameter simulation model of the SP-100 nuclear space reactor is used to verify the proposed reconfigurable controller. The results of numerical simulations to assess the performance of the proposed controller show that the TE generator power level controlled by the proposed reconfigurable controller could track the target power level effectively, satisfying all control constraints. Furthermore, the normal controller is automatically switched to the standby controller when the performance of the normal controller degrades.

Effects of CH₄/H₂ flow rate ratio, chuck bias and microwave power on the structural properties and particle densities of diamond thin films deposited on Ti substrates in microwave plasma CVD were examined. High quality diamond thin films were deposited on Ti substrates in 2∼3 CH₄ Vol.% conditions due to the preferential formation of sp³-bonus ana selective removal of sp²-bonus in the CH₄/H₂ mixtures, and the mechanism for the formation of diamond particles on Ti was analysed. Diamond particle density increased with increasing negative chuck bias to Ti substrate due to bias-enhanced nucleation of diamond and the threshold voltage was found at ∼-50 V. With increasing microwave power the evolution from micro-crystalline graphite layer to diamond layer was observed.
