A wind power plant is one of the competitive and effective energy among the regulated 13 renewable energies, especially for the seashore and island. This study is focused on the possibility of wind power plant as a on-site electric power supply system for the common residential building in Youngdo, Busan. The following show the results of this study. 26 apartments' monthly electric power consumptions are surveyed and monthly variations are stable comparing to the metropolitan. With the wind speed measured in Youngdo island and wind power plant efficiency data, the simulation is conducted and the result shows that 35 wind power units are satisfied with full electric power load for all the common residential buildings in Youngdo island.

The modular line-connected photovoltaic PCS (power conditioning system) is proposed. The proposed system consists of a step-up DC-DC converter and a full-bridge inverter. A step-up DC-DC converter using a dual series-resonant rectifier circuit and a active-clamp circuit is proposed to achieve a high efficiency and a high input-output voltage ratio efficiently. An IncCond (incremental conductance) MPPT (maximum power point tracking) algorithm that improves MPPT characteristic is used. By control a inverter using a linearized output current controller, a unity power factor is achieved. All algorithms and controllers are implemented on a single-chip microcontroller and the superiority of the proposed algorithms and controllers is proved by experiments.

In this study, we investigated operating characteristics of natural gas fuel processor for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The fuel processor consists of a natural gas reformer, a water-gas shift reactor, a heat-exchanger and a burner, in which the overall integrated volume is exactly(exceptionally) small, namely, about 10L except outer insulation. The producted hydrogen is $1Nm^3/hr$ and the maximum thermal efficiency is ${\sim}76%$(low heating value) at full operating load. A compact and highly efficient $1Nm^3/hr$ class natural gas fuel processor was developed at UNISON is an advantage for application in residential PEMFCs co-generation systems.

The instantaneous friction in main bearings of a single cylinder diesel engine was determined by measuring the instantaneous angular velocity, calculating the resulting forces acting on the bearings, and solving the unsteady Reynolds equation in combination with the mobility method. The considered system consists of only the crankshaft with flywheel and oil pump. The thermal effects were not considered because of the short testing time. The tests were conducted using an electric start motor. The results indicated that when the bearing is not near equilibrium for very small speeds, simple film lubrication theories are not accurate. The details of grooves and unsteady terms in the Reynolds equation cannot be ignored for increasing efficiency of instantaneous friction calculation of the engine bearings. The effects of speed on instantaneous friction and energy lost in friction were determined.

This Paper presents a 6 pulse shift operation control mode of current-source-inverter to make improvement of efficiency and to reduce the frequency of inverter switching for photovoltaic generation system using PWM current-source-inverter. This system is connected solar cell energy directly without using a storage cell. The proposed circuit can maintain maximum voltage of photovoltaic generation of take advantage of six Buck-Boost converter and a full-bridge inverter determines the polarity of AC output. That is controlled by using digital signal processor TMS320F2812 for operation about a 6 pulse shift operation control of current-source-inverter, and it is verified through the experimental results.

In Japan, a long-waited civil aero engine development project has been recently started by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, NEDO. “High efficiency,” “environmentally friendliness” and “low-cost” are the key words of the target engine. The target engine is of l0000-lb thrust with project consists of three phases: Feasibility studies and market research in the first phase, FY 2003, engine component development in the second phase, FY 2004-2006, and core and full engine demonstrators in the third phase, FY 2007-2009. In league with this government/industry joint funded project, Institute of Space Technology and Aeronautics, JAXA, has initiated “Clean Engine Technology” project.

This paper proposes two SRM driving systems using a variable dc-link voltage controlled by a single-phase inverter. Two SRM converter topologies of a half bridge type and a full bridge type are proposed according to the power circuits of an inverter. The phase current can be controlled by means of a PWM controller at the inverter, and the turn-on/off angle at the phase switches can be controlled by a position sensor at the converter in the drive system. The inverter acts as a peak-current limiter if the transient current exceeds its maximum value. SRMs using the proposed topologies maintain high efficiency due to energy regeneration after the turn-off of power switches. The operational modes of the proposed topologies are verified by simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents a potential for application of Inductive Power Transfer(IPT) to the light railway vehicle system. IPT system allows for a vehicle fitted with existing or new generation batteries to park over a small charging unit and commence charging immediately. Regular charging will allow for smaller batteries to be used in vehicles. In this paper, IPT system uses a full-bridge LLC resonant converter and is possible for the regenerative braking which is an energy recovery mechanism.
