This paper focuses on the control of bidirectional power flow in the electric shipboard power systems, especially in the Medium-Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) shipboard power system. Bidirectional power control between the main MVDC bus and the local zones can improve the energy efficiency and control flexibility of electric ship systems. However, since the MVDC system contains various nonlinear loads such as pulsed power load and radar in various subsystems, the voltage of the MVDC and the local zones varies significantly. This voltage variation affects the control performance of the bidirectional DC-DC converters as exogenous disturbances. To improve the control performance regardless of uncertainties and disturbances, this paper proposes a novel controller design method of the bidirectional DC-DC converters using $L_1$ control theory and intelligent optimization algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is verified via large-scale real-time digital simulation of a notional shipboard MVDC power system.

The bidirectional dc-dc converter, being the interface between Energy Storage Element (ESE) and DC bus, is an essential component of the power management system for vehicle applications including electric vehicle (EV), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), and fuel cell vehicle (FCV). In this paper, a novel multiphase bidirectional dc-dc converter interfacing with battery to supply and absorb the electric energy in the FCV system was studied with the help of real time digital simulator (RTDS). The mathematical models of fuel cell, battery and dc-dc converter were derived. A power management strategy was developed and first simulated in RTDS. A Power Hardware-In-the-Loop (PHIL) simulation using RTDS is then presented. The main challenge of this PHIL is the requirement for a highly dynamic bidirectional Simulation-Stimulation (Sim-Stim) interface. This paper describes three different interface algorithms. The closed-loop stability of the resulting PHIL system is analyzed in terms of time delay and sampling rate. A prototype bidirectional Sim-Stim interface is designed to implement the PHIL simulation.

Digital broadcasting technology has developed focusing on multi-channel/multi-media, high-definition quality, and mobility-support. Recently, there has been a clear trend toward bidirectional service with the convergence between broadcasting and communication. The broadcasting viewer is no longer simply a passive receptor but has also become an information generator. Currently, the digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) specifications are the major standard for portable digital broadcasting and have been establishing the overall guidelines for bidirectional service using the MPEG-4 system. While detailed specifications for DMB systems are not well-established for bidirectional service yet, they share the basic concepts underlying the European Eureka-147 Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) system. This paper develops key scenarios for bidirectional service in DMB, describes the signal transaction of broadcasting and return channels, and demonstrates typical scenarios using binary format for scenes (BIFS) in the MPEG-4 system.

정지궤도위성은 태양 궤도위성과는 달리 넓은 지역의 매시간 측정이 가능하다. 정지 위성은 관측영역은 항상 고정되어 있으나 태양의 위치가 항상 변하므로 한 주어진 지점의 해수 신호의 크기는 기간에 따라 변하게 된다. 반면에 태양 궤도 위성은 하루 통일한 시간대에서 동일한 영역을 촬영하기 때문에 신호의 크기의 변화가 없다. 즉, 정지해양 위성에서 관측된 신호의 크기는 태양과 위성이 항상 수직 방향에 위치한다고 가정할 때 얻어지는 신호의 크기로 변경되어야한다. 이와 같은 신호의 보정은 지속적으로 변화하는 태양, 위성과 관측점의 기하학적인 위치변화에 따라 나타나게 되는데 이를 양방향 계수 (Bidirectional Factor) 라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 태양의 위치와 기하학적인 요인을 계산, 대기권 밖의 총 방사휘도와 반사율을 계산하였다. 그리고 양방향계수, 즉 관측점과 관측지점 사이의 규격화된 해면방사휘도$([L_W]_N)$의 비를 모의실험을 통해 확인하였다. 1년간의 값을 영상화 하였고 보다 정확한 양방향 계수 (Bidirectional Factor)를 얻기 위해 다양한 조건의 모의실험의 필요성을 제시하였다.

본 논문에서는 기존 CMOS 수동 스위치를 사용한 switched - line 타입 위상변화기의 수동 스위치를 공통게이트 증폭기(양방향 증폭기)로 대체한 60 GHz CMOS 양방향 능동 위상변화기를 제안한다. 양방향 능동 위상변화기는 양방향 증폭기 블록과 수동 delay line 네트워크 블록으로 구성된다. 양방향 증폭기 블록은 순방향과 역방향의 특성이 같도록 설계하기 위해 공통 게이트 증폭기(CGA) 구조가 적합하며, 입력단과 출력단의 매칭은 대칭으로 이루어진다. 또한, 통합 바이어스 회로를 이용하여 1개의 바이어스 전압($V_{DS}$)만으로도 증폭의 방향(순방향, 역방향)과 크기를 조절할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 수동 delay line 네트워크 블록은 마이크로스트립 라인으로 구성하였다. 동부 하이텍 1P8M 130-nm CMOS 공정을 이용하여 90도, 180도 1-bit 양방향 능동 위상변화기를 각각 설계하였고, 시뮬레이션 결과 60 GHz에서 평균 -3 dB의 삽입 손실을 얻었으며, 각각 90도 180도의 위상차를 얻었다.

Many equalization circuits have been proposed to improve pack performance and reduce imbalance. Although bidirectional equalization topologies are promising in these methods, pre-equalization global equalization strategy is lacking. This study proposes a novel state-of-charge (SoC) equalization algorithm for bidirectional equalizer based on particle swarm optimization (PSO), which is employed to find optimal equalization time and steps. The working principle of bidirectional equalization topologies is analyzed, and the reason behind the application of SoC as a balancing criterion is explained. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, a pack with 12 LiFePO4 batteries is applied in the experiment. Results show that the maximum SoC gap is within 2% after equalization, and the available pack capacity is enhanced by 13.2%. Furthermore, a comparison between previously used methods and the proposed PSO equalization algorithm is presented. Experimental tests are performed, and results show that the proposed PSO equalization algorithm requires fewer steps and is superior to traditional methods in terms of equalization time, energy loss, and balancing performance.

This paper propose a bidirectional dc-to-dc converter employing dual inductor for current ripple reduction. Conventional bidirectional dc-to-dc converter uses a single inductor for two different modes; boost and buck; therefore it is difficult to satisfy the optimized inductance value for each mode. To improve this problem, the proposed converter adds two switches, a diode, and one inductor. By proper switching of the additional switch, the proposed converter operates with a inductor in boost mode, but it works with dual inductor in buck mode. Hence in both modes the proposed bidirectional converter can be operated with optimized inductance values. Most of all the optimized inductance in buck mode can reduce the current ripple and its effective value(rms), which are directly related to the temperature increase resulted in short lifetime of battery. To verify the validity of the proposed approach, we first analyzes the operation of the proposed converter theoretically, and implement computer-aided simulations and experiments using a prototype.

This paper proposes a new method for the current ripple reduction of a three-phase interleaved bidirectional DC-DC converter. Usually, the three-phase interleaved bidirectional DC-DC converter is used for battery charging and discharging to reduce battery current ripple. In V2G application, a PWM AC-DC converter is used to connect the AC power grid and three-phase interleaved bidirectional DC-DC converter for battery charging and discharging. The magnitude of DC link voltage affects the battery current ripple magnitude. Therefore, the magnitude of the battery ripple current is analyzed with variations of battery and DC link voltages. The ripple current magnitude is found to be minimized by controlling the DC link voltage. Simulation and experimental results show the usefulness of the proposed method.

의미역 결정 연구에 있어 구문 분석 정보는 술어-논항 사이의 의존 관계를 포함하고 있기 때문에 의미역 결정 성능 향상에 큰 도움이 된다. 그러나 의미역 결정 이전에 구문 분석을 수행해야 하는 비용(overhead)이 발생하게 되고, 구문 분석 단계에서 발생하는 오류를 그대로 답습하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 구문 분석 정보를 제외한 형태소 분석 정보만을 사용하는 End-to-end SRL 방식의 한국어 의미역 결정 시스템을 제안하고, 순차 데이터 모델링에 적합한 LSTM RNN을 확장한 Stacked Bidirectional LSTM-CRFs 모델을 적용해 구문 분석 정보 없이 기존 연구보다 더 높은 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 보인다.

When conducting seismic assessment of an asymmetric building, it is essential to carry out three-dimensional analysis considering all the possible directions of seismic input. For this purpose, the author proposed a simplified procedure is to predict the largest peak seismic response of an asymmetric building subjected to horizontal bidirectional ground motion acting in an arbitrary angle of incidence in previous study. This simplified procedure has been applied to torsionally stiff (TS) asymmetric buildings with regular elevation. However, the suitability of this procedure to estimate the peak response of an asymmetric building with vertical irregularity, such as an asymmetric building with setback, has not been assessed. In this article, the pushover-based simplified procedure is applied to estimate the peak response of asymmetric buildings with bidirectional setback. Nonlinear dynamic (time-history) analysis of two six-storey asymmetric buildings with bidirectional setback and designed according to strong-column weak beam concept is carried out considering various directions of seismic input, and the results compared with those estimated by the proposed method. The largest peak displacement estimated by the simplified method agrees well with the envelope of the dynamic analysis response. The suitability assessment of the simplified procedure to analysed building models is made as well based on pushover analysis results.
