This paper presents an improved grid voltage control strategy for wind farms with doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) connected to distribution networks based on an analysis of the operation limits of DFIG systems. A modified reactive power limit calculation method in different operation states is proposed and a reactive power control strategy during grid voltage dips/rises is further discussed. A control strategy for compensating unbalanced grid voltage, based on DFIG systems, by injecting negative sequence current into the grid through the grid side converter (GSC) is proposed. In addition, the negative current limit of the GSC is discussed. The distribution principle of the negative sequence current among the different DFIG systems in a wind farm is also introduced. The validity of the proposed voltage control strategy is demonstrated by Matlab/Simulink simulations. It is shown that the stability of a wind farm and the power grid can be improved with the proposed strategy.

A microwave plasma torch at the atmospheric pressure by making use of magnetrons operated at the 2.45 GHz and used in a home microwave oven has been developed. This electrodeless torch can be used to various areas, including industrial, environmental and military applications. Although the microwave plasma torch has many applications, we in the present work focused on the microwave plasma torch operated in pure steam and several applications, which may be used in future and right now. For example, a high-temperature steam microwave plasma torch may have a potential application of the hydrocarbon fuel reforming at one atmospheric pressure. Moreover, the radicals including hydrogen, oxygen and hydroxide molecules are abundantly available in the steam torch, dramatically enhancing the reaction speed. Also, the microwave plasma torch can be used as a high-temperature, large-volume plasma burner by injecting hydrocarbon fuels in gas, liquid, and solid into the plasma flame. Finally, we briefly report treatment of soils contaminated with oils, volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, etc., which is an underway research in our group.

In conventional machining, the use of cutting fluid is essential to reduce cutting heat and to improve machining quality. However, to increase the performance of cutting fluids, various chemical components have been added. However, these chemical components during machining have a negative impact on the health of workers and cutting environment. In current machining, environment-friendly machining is conducted using MQL (minimum quantity lubrication) or cryogenic air spraying to minimize the harmful effects. In this study, the injection nozzle that can combined injecting minimum quantity lubrication(MQL) and cryogenic gas was designed and the shape optimization was performed by using computational fluid dynamics(CFD) and design of experiment(DOE). Performance verification was performed for the designed nozzle. The diameter of the sprayed fluid at a distance of 30 mm from the nozzle was analyzed to be 21 mm. It was also analyzed to lower the aerosol temperature to about 260~270K.

핵의학 체내검사 업무 단계 별 작업종사자의 피폭선량을 측정 및 분석하여 환자 검사 및 업무효율 저하를 발생시키지 않는 범위 내에서 종사자의 피폭선량을 최소로 감소할 수 있는 방법을 알아보고자 하였다. 방사성동위원소를 이용한 핵의학 체내검사 업무는 방사성 동위원소 분배, 방사성동위원소 주사($^{99m}Tc$, $^{18}F$-FDG), 환자 안내 및 검사로 이루어진다. RadEye-G10 측정기기(Thermo SCIENTIFIC)를 이용하여 각 업무 단계 별 피폭선량을 측정 및 분석 하였다. 방사성동위원소를 환자에게 주사하는 과정에서 많은 피폭이 발생하므로 작업종사자의 피폭선량을 최소로 줄일 수 있도록 외부피폭 방어에 대한 교육과 방사성동위원소 주사 시 보호구를 착용하도록 하였으며 주사 전 검사에 대한 설명 및 주의사항을 교육하여 주사 후 환자와의 대면시간을 단축하여 피폭선량을 줄이도록 하였다. 방사성동위원소 주사 시 보호구 착용 유무에 따른 피폭선량과 주사 전 검사에 대한 설명 및 주의사항 교육 유무에 따른 피폭선량을 측정하였다. 총 피폭선량은 icrosoft office Excel 2007을 이용하여 그래프로 나타내었으며 피폭선량의 차이는 SPSS program 12.0을 이용하여 wilcoxon signed ranks test로 분석 하였다. 이 때 p값이 0.01 이하인 경우 통계적으로 유의 하다고 판단하였다. $^{99m}Tc$-DPD 20 mCi를 보호구를 착용하고 주사 시 피폭되는 선량은 보호구를 착용하지 않고 주사 시 피폭되는 선량보다 88% 감소하였으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다 (p<0.01). $^{18}F$-FDG 10 mCi를 보호구를 착용하고 주사 시 피폭되는 선량은 보호구를 착용하지 않고 주사 시 피폭되는 선량보다 26% 감소하였으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.01). $^{99m}Tc$-DPD 20 mCi를 주사 전 검사에 대한 설명 및 주의사항 교육 시 피폭되는 선량은 주사 후 검사에 대한 설명 및 주의사항 교육 시 피폭되는 선량보다 63% 감소하였으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.01). $^{18}F$-FDG 10 mCi를 주사 전 검사에 대한 설명 및 주의사항 교육 시 피폭 되는 선량은 주사 후 검사에 대한 설명 및 주의사항 교육 시 피폭되는 선량보다 52% 감소하였으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.01). 방사성동위원소 $^{99m}Tc$을 이용하는 검사에서는 보호구 착용이 피폭선량을 줄이는데 더 효과적이고 $^{18}F$-FDG를 이용하는 검사에서는 주사 후 환자와의 대면시간을 단축하는 것이 피폭선량을 줄이는데 더 효과적이다. 그러므로 이러한 방사성동위원소의 특성에 따라 차폐 방안을 모색한다면 더욱 더 효과적이고 적극적인 방사선 차폐가 될 것으로 사료된다.

Particle-reinforced metal matrix composites via the Osprey spray casting process were fabricated by injecting second phase particles of $Al_2O_3$(＜$40{\mu}m$) and W($6{\mu}m$) into the spray of Cu droplets, and the thermal behaviors of the composite droplets during flight were considered theoretically on the basis of mixing modes between the Cu droplets and the reinforced particulates injected. It was found that the W-injected spray is comprised of particle-embedded droplets, and the $Al_2O_3-injected$ spray comprises particle-attached droplets. From the predicted results of the thermal behaviors of the composite droplets and preforms produced, it is concluded that the thermal behaviors of the composite droplets during flight, and during the subsequent deposition are strongly influenced by its mixing modes between the reinforced particulates and Cu droplets during flight.

Manipulation of the nano/micro scale object has been a key technology in biology as the sizes of DNA, chromosome, nucleus, cell and embryo are within such order. For instance, for embryo cell manipulation, the cell injection is performed manually. The operator often spends over a year to carry out a cell manipulation project. Since the typical success rate of such operation is extremely low, automation of such biological cell manipulation has been asked. As the operator spends most of his time in finding the position of cell in the Petri dish and in injecting bio-material to the cell from the best orientation. In this paper, we propose a new strategy and a vision system, by which one can find, recognize and track nucleus, polar body, and zona pellucida of the embryo cell for automatic biomanipulation. The deformable template matching algorithm has been used in recognizing the nucleus and polar body of each cell. Result suggests that it outperforms the conventional methods.

본 연구에서는 비소로 오염된 지역의 토양 및 지하수에 동전기적 기술을 사용하고 배양된 토양 미생물과 배양액을 주입하여 토양 내의 토착 미생물을 활성화하여 비소의 이동도를 상승시키는 것이 주요목표이다. 생물학적 동전기법은 미생물의 전기적 이동을 이용하여 기존의 생물학적 복원에서 문제시 되어온 늦은 분해속도와 낮은 제거효율의 단점을 극복할 수 있었다. 이는 전극의 전해액 대신 토양 미생물과 배양액을 혼합 주입하여 유기물질을 전자 공여체로 이용하는 다양한 토양 미생물이 Fe, Mn 등을 환원하게 된다. 이에 따라 주변의 금속 산화 미생물이 As(III)를 As(V)로 변환시킴으로써 As(III)의 이동도가 증가하게 되고, 이로 인해 As의 이동도가 기존 동전기법의 약 30%에 비해 60 ~ 70%정도로 상승함을 확인하였다.

Rotor initial position is an important factor affecting the control performance of electrically excited synchronous motors. This study presents a novel method for estimating rotor initial position based on sliding discrete Fourier transform (sDFT). By injecting an ac excitation into the rotor winding, an induced voltage is generated in stator windings. Through this voltage, the stator flux can be obtained using a pure integral voltage model. Considering the influence from a dc bias and an integral initial value, we adopt the sDFT to extract the fundamental flux component. A quadrant identification model is designed to realize the accurate estimation of the rotor initial position. The sDFT and high-pass filter, DFT, are compared in detail, and the contrast between dc excitation and ac injection is determined. Simulation and experimental results verify that this type of novel method can eliminate the influence of dc bias and other adverse factors, as well as provide a basis for the control of motor drives.

An Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) is a converter based controller which compensates and balance the power flow among multi-lines within the same corridor of the multi-line subsystem. The Interline Power Flow Controller consists of a voltage source converter based Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controller for series compensation. The reactive voltage injected by individual Voltage Source Converter (VSC) can be controlled to regulate active power flow in the respective line in which one VSC regulates the DC voltage, the other one controls the reactive power flows in the lines by injecting series active voltage. In this paper, a circuit model for IPFC is developed and simulation of interline power flow controller is done using the proposed circuit model. Simulation is done using MATLAB Simulink and PSPICE. The results obtained by MATLAB are compared with the results obtained by PSPICE and compared with theoretical values.

When most patients are diagnosed with the quiet progressed hepatoma which often would make the operation impossible, the Interventional Radiology hepatic artery embolization is an extremely useful method for such patients. An existence of the malfunction is evaluated by gaining a portal vein image as a delayed phase image after injecting a contrast media into the superior mesenteric artery. However, it is difficult to make a definite judgement due to the extended exposure time with the peristalsis and the intestine gas obstructing the sharpness of the image when the Patient exposure time increases and due to the increased usage of contrast media and its side effect. The portal vein can be evaluated by obtaining the MIP image after reconstructing a 3-dimensional personal computer setting using the 2-dimensional from an enhancement abdomen CT image that is almost a requisite in operation to a hepatoma patient. Such method nay prevent a decrease in the quality of image based upon the time delay and intestine gas; also, because the patient exposure dose and contrast media usage may be reduced, it is a new, valuable way to decide the operational matter of hepatic artery embolization on a pre-angiography.
