A single-stage flyback LED AC-DC converter based on primary-side control under constant current mode is proposed in this study. The proposed converter features low total harmonic distortion (THD) and high power factor (PF). It also consists of a zero-crossing distortion compensation circuit and a variable duty ratio control compensation circuit to deal with the line current distortions caused by fixed duty ratio control. The system model and layout are built in Simplis and Cadence, respectively. The feasibility and performance of the proposed circuit is verified by designing and fabricating an IC controller in the HHNEC $0.35{\mu}m$ 5 V/40 V HVCMOS process. Experimental results show that the PF can reach a level in the range of 0.985-0.9965. Moreover, the average THD of the entire system is approximately 10%, with the minimum being 6.305%, as the input line voltage changes from 85 VAC to 265 VAC.

Peltier cells have low efficiency, but they are becoming attractive alternatives for affordable and environmentally clean cooling. In this line, the current article develops closed-form and semianalytical solutions to improve the temperature distribution of Bi₂Te₃ thermoelements. From the distribution, the main objective of the current work-the optimal electric intensity to maximize cooling-is inferred. The general one-dimensional differential coupled equation is integrated for linear and quadratic geometry of thermoelements, under temperature constant properties. For a general shape, a piece-wise solution based on heat flux continuity among virtual layers gives accurate analytical solutions. For variable properties, another piece-wise solution is developed but solved iteratively. Taking advantage of the formulae, the optimal intensity is directly derived with a minimal computational cost; its value will be of utility for more advanced designs. Finally, a parametric study including straight, two linear, barrel, hourglass and vase geometries is presented, drawing conclusions on how the shape of the thermoelement affects the coupled phenomena. A specially developed coupled and non-linear finite element research code is run taking into account all the materials of the cell and using symmetries and repetitions. These accurate results are used to validate the analytical ones.

인체의 각 조직은 서로 다른 저항률(resistivity)을 가지고 있고. 심장의 박동이나 호흡과 같은 생리현상은 해당 생체조직의 임피던스를 변화시킨다. 본 논문에서는 인체 내부에 존재하는 비정상 조직의 크기와 위치를 검출하기 위한 32-채널 생체 임피던스 측정 시스템에 대하여 기술한다. 이러한 기술은 유방암 조직의 경우와 같이 배경 조직과는 저항률이 다른 비정상 조직을 검출하는 경우에 응용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 32-채널 생체 임피던스 측정 시스템을 위하여 32개의 복합형 전극과 32 채널의 정전류원을 사용하였다. 임피던스의 측정을 위해 50kHz의 정현파 전류를 주입하고. 유기되는 전압을 가변 이득 협대역 계측용 증폭기로 측정하고, 그 크기를 위상감응복조기로 검출하였다. 검출된 임피던스 신호는 A/D 변환하여 PC에 입력하였다. 전해질 팬텀을 이용한 실험에서 전체 시스템의 정확도는 2.42%이며, 직경 270mm인 팬텀 내부에 존재하는 직경 8mm 이상인 물체의 크기와 위치를 검출할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 기초로 다채널 생체 임피던스 측정 시스템의 정확도를 개선하여. 직경 lmm 이내의 물체를 검출하는 것이 향후의 연구 목표이다 이러한 정확도를 가지는 생체 임피던스 계측 시스템을 개발하면. 인체 내부의 임피던스 분포를 측정하는 EIT(electrical impedance tomography) 시스템과, 최근에 연구되고 있는 자기공명 임피던스 단층촬영(MREIT, magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography)에도 응용이 가능할 것이다.

The purpose of this study for photovoltaic (PV) generation system is to keep the output power of photovoltaic cells maximized under any weather conditions. In a conventional MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) control method, both voltage and current coming out from PV array have to be fedback. Thus, the system has a complex structure, and may fail to track MPP of PV array when unexpected weather conditions happen. This paper proposes a novel PV Output Senseless (POS) control method to solve the mentioned problem. The main advantage of this method is that the current flowing into load is the only one considerable factor. In case of a huge PV generation system, it can be operated much more safely than the conventional system. To verify this theory, results that compare and analyze the simulated data with experimental data under real weather condition of the manufactured PV generation system are shown in this paper. Authors vividly states that this theory uses constant resistors and variable resistors of DC-DC converter in PV system. Authors emphasize that it is a very useful method to maximize power from PV cells to load with only the feedback of load current. Authors also emphasize that this theory is applicable in case of the PCS in PV power generation system.

An electro hydraulic poppet valve (EHPV) and a variable orifice poppet are assembled in a single block, which is referred to as a RHINO but is also generally called a pilot-operated flow control valve. In this study, we analyzed the structure and the operating principle for a RHINO applied in a 21-ton electric excavator system. The RHINO was experimentally tested to measure the dynamic responses and the pressure energy loss. In this test, we investigated the variation in the conductance coefficient according to the increase in the supply pressure under a constant current and a variation in the flow rate according to the increase in the current. Then, the geometrical shapes and the spring stiffness of the RHINO were considered to develop an analysis model. The characteristics (current-force and hysteresis) for the solenoid based on the experimental data were reflected in the analysis model that was developed, and the reliability of the analysis model was also verified by comparing the experimental and analytical results. The developed model is thus considered to be reliable for use in a wide range of applications, including optimum design, sensitivity analysis, parameter tuning, etc.

전기추진선박의 추진시스템에서 중요하게 고려해야 할 사항이 전력변환장치에 의해 전동기에 공급되는 전압 및 전류에 포함되는 고조파 성분을 억제하는 것이다. 근래에 특수선박의 전기추진시스템에서 속도 및 토크제어기법으로 많이 사용하고 있는 벡터제어방식이 많은 제어기와 복잡한 연산을 요구하고 토크의 동적 특성이 전동기의 정수변화에 영향이 큰 단점을 가지고 있어서 대안으로 제시되고 있는 제어기법 중에 하나가 직접토크제어방식이다. 하지만 직접토크제어방식은 영벡터를 인가하지 않으므로 토크리플이 심하여 공급 전류파형에 고조파 성분이 포함되는 단점을 가지고 있으므로 이를 해결해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 유도전동기를 추진기로 채용하고 있는 LNG 선박의 전기추진시스템에서 직접토크제어방식을 사용하는 경우에 고조파 발생을 저감하기 위한 제어방식을 제시한다. 새로운 직접토크제어방식은 샘플링 주파수의 변화없이 복잡한 제어기를 사용하지 않고 인버터 스위칭 주파수를 일정하게 유지한 채 개선된 공간벡터 변조법에 의해 인버터를 제어하는 방식이다. 제안된 방식의 유효성은 추진기에 공급되는 전류파형에 포함된 고조파 성분의 분석과 속도제어 특성을 통해 입증한다.

본 연구의 목적은 변동하중을 받는 구조부재의 피로거동을 해석하는 것이다. 이 연구의 해석과정은 다음과 같다. (1) 도로교의 실동응력파측정 및 통계적해석 (2) 등가의 일정진폭하중과, 통계적해석에 의해 모형화된 변동하중하(下)의 피로시험 (3) 등가응력개념의 RMC 모델에 의한 변동하중하(下)의 피로해석 등가응력개념에 의한 변동하중하(下)의 피로해석은 대부분의 구조용강재의 균열성장속도회귀지수가 $m{\fallingdotseq}3$이므로 이론적으로 RMC 모델이 합당하다. 변동하중하(下)의 피로시험해석결과 RMC 모델이 기존의 RMC 모델보다 변동하중에 의한 피로거동치(da/dN-${\Delta}K$, $N_f$)에 더 가까웠다. 또 변동하중하(下)에서 응력범위의 변화로 인한 interaction효과나 응력범위적용순서(sequence)효과 등은 피로수명에 거의 영향을 미치지 않으며, 응력범위변화속도가 클수록 피로균열성장속도가 빨라짐을 알 수 있었다.

This paper shows the design and control methods of the bidirectional DC-DC converter to generate the proper DC-link voltage of a PMSM drive. Conventionally, because the controllable power of the PWM based voltage source inverter is limited by its DC-link voltage, the DC-DC converter is used for boosted DC-link voltage if the inverter source cannot generate enough operating voltage for the PMSM drive. In this paper, to obtain more utilization of this DC-DC converter, optimal DC-link voltage control for PMSM drive will be explained. First, the process and current path of the DC-DC converter will be illustrated, and a control method of this converter for variable DC-link voltage will then be explained. Finally, an improvement analysis of the optimal DC-link voltage control method, especially on the deadtime effect, will be explained. The DC-DC converter of the proposed control method is verified by the experiments by comparing with the conventional constant voltage control method.
