The mechanical deformation of a battery separator causes internal short-circuiting of the cathode - anode, which directly affects the explosion/ignition of batteries. To increase the mechanical properties of the separator fabricated by electro-spinning, use of a thermal pressing method is inevitable. Therefore, this research aims to maximize the mechanical strength of a porous separator by finding the proper thermal press temperatures given to Electro-spun Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers. The different thermal press temperatures $25^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, $75^{\circ}C$, and $100^{\circ}C$ were applied to the electro-spun fiber at 30 MPa pressure for one hour. The higher the temperature, the higher the resultant tensile strength; however, a higher temperature also lowered the strain and porosity. Thus, the membrane thermal pressed at $50^{\circ}C$ showed the best mechanical properties and the second highest porosity. Using the data, $50^{\circ}C$ was judged as the best thermal pressing temperature in terms of performance.

Localized heat can be generated using electrically conductive word-lines built into a 3D NAND flash memory string. The heat anneals the gate dielectric layer and improves the endurance and retention characteristics of memory cells. However, even though the electro-thermal annealing can improve the memory operation, studies to investigate material failures resulting from electro-thermal stress have not been reported yet. In this context, this paper investigated how applying electro-thermal annealing of 3D NAND affected mechanical stability. Hot-spots, which are expected to be mechanically damaged during the electro-thermal annealing, can be determined based on understanding material characteristics such as thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity. Finally, several guidelines for improving mechanical stability are provided in terms of bias configuration as well as alternative materials.

Cellulose based electro-active paper(EAPap) is considered as a new smart material which has a potential to be used for biomimetic actuators and sensors. Beside of the natural abundance, cellulose EAPap is fascinating with its biodegradability, lightweight, high mechanical strength and low actuation voltage. When the external stress is applied to EAPap, it can generate the electrical output due to its piezoelectric property. Using piezoelectric behavior of EAPap, we studied the feasibility of EAPap as mechanical strain sensor applications and compared to commercial strain sensor. By measuring the induced output voltage from the thin piezoelectric cellulose EAPap under static and dynamic force, we propose cellulose EAPap film as a potential strain sensor material.

The parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack for 1.5MVA medium power inverter system's design is applied. The results of the parallel operation are described in this paper. The designed stack capacity for parallel operation is 800kVA class. For 1.5MVA inverter system, the 800kVA stack is applied with 2 parallel configurations. The 800kVA stack is designed with 3 parallel configurations of the IGBT Module. In this paper, the feasibility for easy capacity enlargement series in the medium power inverter by applying the parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack is verified.

This paper proposes a practical design for a Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel (CHBM) inverter based on Power Electronics Building Blocks (PEBB) and high performance control to improve current control and increase fault tolerance. It is shown that the expansion and modularization characteristics of the CHBM inverter are improved since the individual inverter modules operate more independently, when using the PEBB concept. It is also shown that the performance of current control can be improved with voltage delay compensation and the fault tolerance can be increased by using unbalance three-phase control. The proposed design and control methods are described in detail and the validity of the proposed system is verified experimentally in various industrial fields.

본 연구에서는 변압기의 권선간 전계 및 절연안전율 예측알고리즘을 개발하였으며, 이를 활용하여 극초고압 변압기의 절연구조개선 연구를 수행하였다. 개발된 알고리즘을 사용하면 한 번의 기본모델의 수치해석 결과만을 이용하여 다양한 권선간 거리 및 고체절연물의 개수 변화에 따른 전계 및 절연안전율의 예측이 가능하다. 본 알고리즘을 극초고압 변압기 주권선부 개선에 적용시킨 결과, 권선간 고체 절연물 개수를 조절하면 절연신뢰성 저하없이 주권선부 거리를 단축시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 본 예측 알고리즘의 활용가능성을 검증하고자 개선 모델의 절연안전율을 수치해석적 방법으로 계산하여 이를 예측 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 본 예측 알고리즘으로 계산된 결과는 수치해석적 방법에 의한 결과에 비해 약 $1{\sim}2%$ 정도의 작은 차이가 발생하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 전계분포 및 절연안전율 예측기법을 실제 설계에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Multilevel power conversion technology has received increasing attention recently for high power applications. The converters with the technology are suitable for high voltage and high power applications due to their ability to synthesize waveforms with better harmonic spectrum and apply for the high voltage equipment with a limited voltage rating of device.

본 논문에서는 지중전력설비의 안전한 운용을 위하여 무선네트워크기술을 적용한 감시시스템을 개발하기 위하여 WiMAX 기술을 적용하기로 하였다. 지중전력설비는 환경친화적 도시설비의 추구로 전체 전력설비중에서 비중이 꾸준히 늘어나는 추세이다. 노후화되어가는 전력설비는 사고의 위험성이 증대되고 있다. 하지만 노후화된 전력설비를 교체하는 비용은 천문학적이므로, 교체보다는 안전하게 유지보수하는 방법이 훨씬 경제적일 것이다. 지중전력설비는 지상설비만큼이나 광범위한 거리에 걸쳐서 시설되어 있다. 그러므로 노후한 설비를 유지보수하기 위하여 유선네트워크를 사용하는 방법보다는 경제적으로 무선네트워크를 사용하는 방법이 유리하다. 무선네트워크 기술은 종류에 따라서 여러가지 장단점을 가지고 있으며, 지중설비 감시에 최적인 기술을 채택하는 것이 중요하다. WiMAX 기술를 적용하여 지중전력설비 감시에 사용하여 기존에 설치한 유선네트워크에 영향을 주지않으면서, 신규로 추가되는 센서네트워크 시스템을 쉽게 통합 관리할 수 있는 시스템을 설계하기로 한다.
