In this paper, multi-string power balancing system for streetlight was developed. Accordingly, the components of the system was developed, unit converters, MPPT control unit, a bank of Li-ion battery and controls the charging and discharging. Loss by improving the efficiency of the system through the parallel operation of the unit converter output will be reduced. And by improving the efficiency of the system through the unit converter parallel operation, output losses will be reduced. Charging and discharging efficiency of the device used in a typical solar streetlight is calculated based on the maximum power input. Because of the variation of the input power has a weakness. In this paper, flexible to changes in the input, and a system was developed to minimize the cost per watt. Measure the performance of the unit module from the system, the result was more than 91%. And the charging capacity 12 V/105 Ah, module power 180 W, respectively. Should expect to be able to improve performance through continuous monitoring in the future.

본 논문에서는 배터리 교대 방전 기법에서 배터리 셀의 방전 시간을 밸런싱함으로서 배터리 사용 시간을 크게 높이는 방법을 제안한다. 기존 기법에서는 다수의 배터리 셀을 교대로 방전시킴으로서 배터리에 회복 효과를 발생시키고, 이를 통해 배터리 사용 시간을 연장한다. 이때, 시스템에 공급되는 전원이 차단되지 않도록 배터리 셀이 동시에 켜지는 시간 구간이 있는데, 배터리 셀의 전압 차이로 인해 여러 가지 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 배터리 셀이 가능한 한 균등한 전압을 가지도록 배터리의 방전 시간을 제어한다. 실험 결과, 제안하는 방법에서 배터리 사용 시간이 19.2% 연장되었다.

Objectives: Neurological examination on balance function is widely applied in clinical practice. Balance function may be clinically relevant to an assessment of yinyang balance in such therapies as temporomandibular joint balancing medicine. Fukuda stepping test is a relatively not-well-known method of balance function test. This study reviewed the procedures and criteria of Fukuda stepping test. Method: Recent articles on Fukuda stepping test were searched in public database (Pubmed, Proquest) and reviewed for its procedures and clinical implications. Results: Fukuda stepping test adopts 50 steps or 100 steps with subsequent assessment of the deviation or displacement of the subject. It may not be reliable during acute phase. Conclusion: Fukuda stepping test may be utilized and be further developed to assess balance function in the neurological management of functions.

유선 네트워크에 비해 상대적으로 제한된 대역폭을 가지는 셀룰러 네트워크의 특성으로 인해 효율적인 대역폭 관리에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 또한, 최근 들어 수요가 증가하고 있는 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스들의 QoS를 보장하고, 사용자의 이동성으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 네트워크 과부하 현상을 해결하기 위한 실시간 대역폭 관리에 대한 중요성이 더욱 강조되고 있다 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 셀룰러 네트워크상에서 대역폭의 이동을 통한 온라인 부하분산 알고리즘을 제안하였다 이 방법은 각 셀들간 트래픽 부하의 균형을 통해 지역적으로 발생하는 과부하 현상을 극복하고 높은 대역폭 효율성을 보장한다. 또한, 제안된 알고리즘은 현재 네트워크 상황에 대한 적응성과 유연성을 제공하는 온라인 기법을 기반으로 셀 단위로 수행되기 때문에 실제 네트워크 상황에 적용하기가 용이하다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 방법이 기존의 타 기법들에 비해 네트워크의 다양한 트래픽 상황에서 우수한 성능을 가지는 것을 확인하였다.

In this study, the simultaneous use of a multi-level converter (MLC) as a DC-motor drive and as an active battery cell balancer is investigated. MLCs allow each battery cell in a battery pack to be independently switched on and off, thereby enabling the potential non-uniform use of battery cells. By exploiting this property and the brake regeneration phases in the drive cycle, MLCs can balance both the state of charge (SoC) and temperature differences between cells, which are two known causes of battery wear, even without reciprocating the coolant flow inside the pack. The optimal control policy (OP) that considers both battery pack temperature and SoC dynamics is studied in detail based on the assumption that information on the state of each cell, the schedule of reciprocating air flow and the future driving profile are perfectly known. Results show that OP provides significant reductions in temperature and in SoC deviations compared with the uniform use of all cells even with uni-directional coolant flow. Thus, reciprocating coolant flow is a redundant function for a MLC-based cell balancer. A specific contribution of this paper is the derivation of a state-space electro-thermal model of a battery submodule for both uni-directional and reciprocating coolant flows under the switching action of MLC, resulting in OP being derived by the solution of a convex optimization problem.

A novel Virtual Space Vector (VSV) modulation strategy for complete control of potential neutral point (NP) issues is proposed in this paper. The neutral point potential balancing problems of multi-level converters, which include elimination of low frequency oscillations and self-balancing for NP dc unbalance, are investigated first. Then a set of improved virtual space vectors with dynamic adjustment factors are introduced and a multi-objective optimization algorithm which aims to optimize these adjustment factors is presented in this paper. The improved virtual space vectors and the multi-objective optimization algorithm constitute the novel Virtual Space Vector modulation. The proposed novel Virtual Space Vector modulation can simultaneously recover NP dc unbalance and eliminate low frequency oscillations of the neutral point. Experiment results show that the proposed strategy has excellent performance, and that both of the neutral point potential issues can be solved.

The static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) of cascaded H-bridge configuration accompanying multiple separate DC sides is inherently subject to the problem of uneven DC voltages. These DC voltages in one leg can be controlled by adjusting the AC-side output voltage of each cell inverter, which is proportional to the active power. However, when the phase current is extremely small, large AC-side voltage is required to generate the active power to balance the cell voltages. In this study, an alternative zero-sequence current injection method is proposed, which facilitates effective cell balancing controllers at no load, and has no effect on the power grid because the injected zero sequence current only flows within the STATCOM delta circuit. The performance of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experiments.

최근 로봇 기술의 발전에 따라 모바일 로봇에 대한 연구가 주목을 받고 있다. 현재 모바일 로봇의 대부분은 2륜 및 4륜 기반으로 개발되어 직선 주행에는 강하지만 방향전환 및 제자리 회전에 제한이 있으며, 이러한 문제점을 극복하고자 구 형태의 바퀴를 사용하는 볼 로봇에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 볼 로봇은 협소한 공간에서 큰 제약 없이 이동이 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있지만, 구조적으로 불안정하여 안정적인 자세 및 주행 제어가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 무선통신으로 자세 및 주행 제어가 가능한 스마트폰 어플리케이션을 제안하고, 이를 적용하여 제작된 볼 로봇을 이용하여 자세 및 주행 제어 실험을 수행하였다. 실험을 통해 Roll 각도 오차 ±0.8도, Pitch 각도 오차 ±0.7도 이내에서 제어됨을 확인하였으며, 1m 주행제어에 대해 x축 방향 위치오차 ±0.1m, y축 방향 위치오차 ±0.08m 이내에서 제어됨을 확인하였다.

PURPOSE: This study was performed to investigate the effects of the whole-body vibration exercise combined with ankle joint mobilization on the gait and balancing ability in patients with hemiplegic stroke. METHODS: A total of 19 patients at a rehabilitation hospital who had suffered a hemiplegic stroke were randomly assigned to the experimental group (whole-body vibration exercise combined with ankle joint mobilization, n=10) or control group (whole-body vibration exercise, n=9). All participants underwent 30 min of comprehensive rehabilitation therapy (5 × /week for 6 weeks). Additionally, the experimental group performed the whole body vibration exercise and ankle joint mobilization (15 minutes each, 30 minutes total, 3 × / week for 6 weeks). In the control group, only the whole- body vibration exercise was performed in the same manner and not the ankle joint mobilization. The gait and balancing abilities were measured before and after the 6-week training. RESULTS: Significant improvements were observed in the 10-m walk test, timed up-and-go (TUG) test, center of pressure (COP) path length, and COP path velocity in the experimental group (p < .05). The experimental group showed a larger decrease in the COP path length and velocity than the control group (COP path length, -10.27 mm vs. -3.67 mm, p < .05; COP path velocity, -.33 cm/sec vs. -.13 cm/sec, p < .05, respectively). CONCLUSION: The whole-body vibration exercise combined with ankle joint mobilization could be effective in improving the gait and balancing ability of stroke patients and could also be more effective for improving the static balance ability than the general whole-body vibration exercise alone.
