This study investigates an economic and highly efficient power-converter topology and its modulation scheme for 60 kW rapid EV charger system. The target system is a three-phase three-switch buck-type rectifier topology. A new carrier-based PWM scheme, which is characterized by simple implementation using logic gates, is introduced in this paper. This PWM scheme replaces the diode rectifier equivalent switching state with an active switching state to produce the same effective current flowing path. As a result, the distortion of input current during the polarity reversal of capacitor line voltage can be mitigated. The proposed modulation technique is confirmed through simulation verification. The proposed modulation technique and its implementation scheme can expand the operation range of the three-phase three-switch buck-type rectifier with high-quality AC input and capacitor ripple current.

This paper presents a simple and cost-effective stand-alone rapid battery charging system of 30kW for electric vehicles. The proposed system mainly consists of active front-end rectifier of neutral point clamped 3-level type and non-isolated bi-directional dc-dc converter of multi-phase interleaved half-bridge topology. The charging system is designed to operate for both lithium-polymer and lithium-ion batteries. The complete charging sequence is made up of three sub-interval operating modes; pre-charge mode, constant-current mode, and constant-voltage mode. The pre-charge mode employs the stair-case shaped current profile to accomplish shorter charging time while maintaining the reliable operation of the battery. The proposed system is specified to reach the full-charge state within less than 16min for the battery capacity of 8kWh by supplying the charging current of 78A. Owing to the simple and compact power conversion scheme, the proposed solution has superior module-friendly mechanical structure which is absolutely required to realize flexible power expansion capability in a very high-current rapid charging system.

Digital printing has been used in various industrial areas, including semiconductor manufacturing and textile printing. However, implications on ceramic textile have not been well established so far. Printing high-viscosity materials requires an understanding of their behavior. An inorganic high viscous material with a viscosity range of 20-30 cps is analyzed using a viscometer and through X-ray diffraction. In this study, a digital printer is designed and assembled using a high-viscosity material with software for PC control, resulting in reduced processing at a fast area velocity of $20m^2/hr$. The present study demonstrated that the printer is capable of controlling the shape of the drop mass to smear ink smoothly onto the ceramic surface under an economic budget. In addition, to avoid any difficulty in color management, the ceramic printer is equipped with an independent color management system designed to cope with images on a highly viscous material.

A motor model and off-line diagnosis method of the induction motor having an interturn fault(ITF) is studied. The proposed method is based on the magnitude comparison of the six impedance in the d-q plane. To prove the impedance unbalance, the induction motor model is presented with an ITF circuit loop with a fault resistance. Then, six impedance components in the stationary d-q plane are defined depending on the connected phase windings. Finding the maximum and minimum magnitude of the six impedance, the ITF and the faulty phase can be founded. To verify the proposed method, the experimental results with an induction motor having an ITF are shown.

This paper investigates the design of coupled inductor for minimum inductor current ripple in rapid traction battery charger systems. Based on the general circuit model of coupled inductor together with the operating principles of dc-dc converter, the relationship between the ripple size of inductor current and the coupling factor is derived under the different duty ratio. The optimal coupling factor which corresponds to a minimum inductor ripple current becomes -1, i.e. a complete inverse coupling without leakage inductance, as the steady-state duty ratio operating point approaches 0.5. In an opposite manner, the optimal coupling factor value of zero, i.e. zero mutual inductance, is required when the steady-state duty ratio operating point approaches either zero or one. Coupled inductors having optimal coupling factor can minimize the ripple current of inductor and battery current resulting in a reliable and efficient operation of battery chargers.

본 논문에서는 새로운 방식의 무손실 스너버를 적용한 역률 개선회로를 제안한다. 기존 역률 개선회로의 경우 구동 주파수에 비례하여 스위칭 손실이 증가하고, 연속전류모드 구동 시 출력 다이오드의 역회복 특성 문제가 존재하였다. 하지만 제안된 방식 경우 소프트 스위칭이 가능하기 때문에 고주파수 구동에 유리하며, 출력 다이오드의 역회복 특성 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 이러한 장점으로 인하여 스위칭 주파수 상향에 유리하며 스위칭 주파수 증가 시 리액티브 소자의 부피를 대폭 저감할 수 있기 때문에 고밀도 전원회로 구현 시 유리한 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방식을 250W급 시제품 제작을 통해 실험적 결과를 제시하여 이론적 타당성을 검증한다.

The proposed system mainly consists of active front-end rectifier of neutral point clamped 3-level type and non-isolated bi-directional dc-dc converter of multi-phase interleaved half-bridge topology. The charging system is designed to operate for both lithium-polymer and lithium-ion batteries. The complete charging sequence is made up of three sub-interval operating modes; pre-charging mode, constant-current mode, and constant-voltage mode. Each mode is operated according to battery states: voltage, current and State of Charging (SOC). The proposed system is able to reach the full-charge state within less than 16min for the battery capacity of 8kWh by supplying the charging current of 67A. The optimal discharging algorithm for Vehicle to the Grid (V2G) operation has been adopted to maintain the discharging current of 1C. Owing to the simple and compact power conversion scheme, the proposed solution has superior module-friendly mechanical structure which is absolutely required to realize flexible power expansion capability in a very high-current rapid charging system. Experiment waveforms confirm the proposed functionality of the charging system.

In this paper, in order to achieve slim and light liquid crystal display, we examine the optical conditions that can obtain uniform light with higher optical efficiency over whole light guide plate (LGP) through simulation. Furthermore, to overcome the issues of hot spot in front of red, green, and blue light emitting diodes (RGB LEDs) source and non-uniform color mixing, we propose four shaped color mixing bars tied up with the LGP and check the optical characteristics of the LGP with them by simulation. Consequently, we could know the optical conditions of improving optical efficiency and optical uniformity in the LGP through the optical design. Also we confirmed that the issues of the hot spot and non-uniform color mixing in edge type LED could be solved by using the ${\bigwedge}$-shaped window color mixing bar.

Large-scale High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) wind power generators suffer from high electromagnetic force and high torque due to their high current density and low rotational speed. Therefore, the torque and Lorentz force of HTS wind power generators should be carefully investigated. In this paper, we proposed a Performance Evaluation System (PES) to physically test the structural stability of HTS coils with high torque before fabricating the generator. The PES is composed of the part of a pole-pair of the HTS generator for estimating the characteristic of the HTS coil. The 10 MW HTS generator and PES were analyzed using a 3D finite element method software. The performance of the HTS coil was evaluated by comparing the magnetic field distributions, the output power, and torque values of the 10 MW HTS generator and the PES. The magnetic flux densities, output power, and torque values of the HTS coils in the PES were the same as a pole-pair of the 10 MW HTS generator. Therefore, the PES-based evaluation method proposed in this paper can be used to estimate the critical characteristics of the HTS generator under high magnetic field and high torque before manufacturing the HTS wind turbines. These results will be used effectively to research and manufacture large-scale HTS wind turbine generators.

차세대 무선랜 표준인 IEEE 802.11n에서는 MAC 계층에서의 처리율을 향상시키기 위해서 프레임 집약 (Frame Aggregation) 기법을 제안하고 있다. IEEE 802.11n의 프레임 집약 기법은 MSDU(MAC Service Data Unit) 단위의 집약 기법 (Aggregate MSDU: A-MSDU)과 MPDU (MAC Protocol Data Unit) 단위의 집약 기법 (Aggregate MPDU: A-MPDU)의 두 가지 기법을 제안하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 A-MSDU와 A-MPDU를 결합한 2단계 프레임 집약 (Two-Level Frame Aggregation) 기법의 성능을 분석한다. 성능 분석을 위해 마르코브 체인에 기반하여 2단계 프레임 집약 기법의 처리율을 모델링한 뒤 이를 이용하여 노드의 수와 채널 상태 등에 따른 프레임 집약 기법의 처리율 변화 추이를 분석한다. 그리고 분석 결과에 기반하여 최적의 프레임 집약 기법을 설계하기 위한 방법을 제시한다.
