Contactless power system is base on power transmission by magnetic force. The transformer loss is large because it separated with the gap. Also the system has unstable factor, since the parameters in the secondary can vary with the system movement. This paper proposes light train power transmission system using contactless transformer with multiple primary winding. To increase the system efficiency and to obtain the stable power transmission to the dynamic load, a resonant inverter is adopted. The proposed system was verified by the simulation using Spice and Maxwell. The designed contactless power transmission system is implemented for 5[kW] class and experimental results are discussed.

Transmission Pricing is the factor of giving locational signal when Genco decides the generation expansion schedule. Therefore, TR-Pricing is influenced to generation expansion schedule. TR-Pricing is composed of three element, loss-cost and congestion-cost and equipment-cost. The main target of this paper is to analyze TR-Pricing's(especially loss-cost) inpact to generation expansion schedule. Then, this paper make a optimal counterproposal to decide the generation expansion schedule.

This paper provides a new approach for the load-focused transmission marginal loss factors(MLF). It can be widely applied to power system operations and pricing mechanism in a competitive electricity market. The load-focused MLF is the ratio of required additional generation at a reference bus to the demand increments at a arbitrary bus. The new approach to determine the load-focused MLF was developed under some practically endurable assumptions. Although the suggested method is very similar to the conventional penaty factors in its concept, the method is more efficient than the existing heuristic method for the load-focused MLF. To show its effectiveness and efficiency, numerical test have been performed in IEEE 14-bus system.

This paper presents a parameter design of an Electrorheological(ER) panel for noise reduction using Taguchi method. Taguchi method is a robust design method that determines control parameters in the presence of noise effect. Host structure thickness, spacer thickness, base oil viscosity and the weight ratio of ER particles are chosen for the control factors. A test setup in an SAE J1400 facility is used to analyze the sound transmission loss. The sensitivity of each factor with signal-to-noise(S/N) ratio and analysis of variance are investigated. The analysis results show that the weight ratio of ER particle and base oil viscosity of the ER fluid mostly affects the noise reduction in the presence of electric field. Based on the Taguchi method, an optimal configuration was designed and comparison is made with experimental result fer the verification.

In room acoustics, reverberation time (RT) is the most important and general factor that represents character of room or inner space. However, RT, especially in low frequency range, can have the different value according to the measuring points and methods. This study comprehends the cause of error occurring dominantly in low frequency range when RT is measured and examines that the each error of RT measured in the cabin and reverberation chamber having different properties, influences what extent on sound transmission loss (STL)

As the improvements of service quality is becoming an important issue the, interior noise level of a train is an important factor of comfortable ride. To reduce the interior noise level, noise sources of the train need to be removed. However, in case with a structure of large scale and multiple noise sources, an estimation of influences of major noise sources, with indentification of its traveling paths needs to be performed. In current state, to improve the interior noise reduction, consideration of sound transmission loss of the train body prior to manufacturing is usually performed. In this study, the sound transmission loss of the train body of new model train of seoul metro's line no.2 under test opeation is measured and modeling of the train body is performed. And train interior noise is predicted using the measured values.

Interest in Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) technology has been increasing worldwide recently. This trend is proved by commercialized products such as electric toothbrush, wireless razor, and wireless charger for mobile phone battery. Studies for enhancing the applicability of the technology have been continuously conducted. Currently the WPT technology is based on the technologies using microwave, inductively coupling, and magnetic resonance. In the meantime, development of the microwave-based WPT faces difficulty due to health hazards involved in the technology, and application of the WPT technology using inductively coupling is restricted by area due to the problem of transmission length. In comparison, the WPT technology using magnetic resonance draws attention in terms of efficiency and transmission length. In this study, the sending coil based on the WPT technology using magnetic resonance system was replaced with an HTS coil to enhance transmission efficiency. Since the HTS coil has a zero resistance, power transmission loss can be minimized. At the same time, size of the current density could be increased to 100 times or more than typical coils. In addition, through impedance matching of LC device, maximal resonance properties were induced and consequently, frequency selection quality characteristics or Q was enhanced. As a result, the WPT type using the HTS coil showed a longer transmission length and better transmission efficiency compared with the WPT type using typical coils.

In this paper, the power flow analysis(PFA) method was developed to predict the vibrational responses of coupled co-planar orthotropic plates in frequencies ranging from medium to high. To cover the power transmission and reflection at the joint of the orthotropic plates, the wave transmission approach is applied with the assumption that all the incident waves are normal to the joint. Through numerical analyses, the power flow energy density and intensity fields of coupled co-planar orthotropic plates were compared with those of classical modal solutions by changing the frequency and internal loss factor, and they show good agreement in terms of the global decay and the attenuation patterns of the energy density.

This paper analyzes the nodes deployment optimization problem in energy constrained wireless sensor networks, which multi-hop cooperative beamforming (CB) based cooperative-multi-input-single-output (CMISO) transmission is adopted to reduce the energy consumption. Firstly, we establish the energy consumption models for multi-hop SISO, multi-hop DSTBC based CMISO, multi-hop CB based CMISO transmissions under random nodes deployment. Then, we minimize the energy consumption by searching the optimal nodes deployment for the three transmissions. Furthermore, numerical results present the optimal nodes deployment parameters for the three transmissions. Energy consumption of the three transmissions are compared under optimal nodes deployment, which shows that CB based CMISO transmission consumes less energy than SISO and DSTBC based CMISO transmissions. Meanwhile, under optimal nodes deployment, the superiorities of CB based CMISO transmission over SISO and DSTBC based CMISO transmissions can be more obvious when path-loss-factor becomes low.

Background and Objectives: The integration of auditory-visual speech information improves speech perception; however, if the auditory system input is disrupted due to hearing loss, auditory and visual inputs cannot be fully integrated. Additionally, temporal coincidence of auditory and visual input is a significantly important factor in integrating the input of these two senses. Time delayed acoustic pathway caused by the signal passing through digital signal processing. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of hearing loss and hearing aid digital delay circuit on sound-induced flash illusion. Subjects and Methods: A total of 13 adults with normal hearing, 13 with mild to moderate hearing loss, and 13 with moderate to severe hearing loss were enrolled in this study. Subsequently, the sound-induced flash illusion test was conducted, and the results were analyzed. Results: The results showed that hearing aid digital delay and hearing loss had no detrimental effect on sound-induced flash illusion. Conclusions: Transmission velocity and neural transduction rate of the auditory inputs decreased in patients with hearing loss. Hence, the integrating auditory and visual sensory cannot be combined completely. Although the transmission rate of the auditory sense input was approximately normal when the hearing aid was prescribed. Thus, it can be concluded that the processing delay in the hearing aid circuit is insufficient to disrupt the integration of auditory and visual information.
