The pump-turbine impeller is the key component of pumped storage power plant. Current design methods of pump-turbine impeller are private and protected from public viewing. Generally, the design proceeds in two steps: the initial hydraulic design and optimization design to achieve a balanced performance between pump mode and turbine mode. In this study, the 3D inverse design method is used for the initial hydraulic impeller design. However, due to the special demand of high performance in both pump and reverse mode, the design method is insufficient. This study is carried out by modifying the geometrical parameters of the blade which have great influence and need special consideration in obtaining the high performance on the both modes, such as blade shape type at low pressure side (inlet of pump mode, outlet of turbine mode) and the blade lean at blade high pressure side (outlet of pump mode, inlet of turbine mode). The influence of the geometrical parameters on the performance characteristic is evaluated by CFD analysis which presents the efficiency and internal flow results. After these investigations of the geometrical parameters, the criteria of designing pump-turbine impeller blade low and high sides shape is achieved.

AMOLED는 흐르는 전류에 의해 밝기가 결정되므로 AMOLED의 각 픽셀은 전류 구동 방식으로 동작하므로 AMOLED 구동을 위해서는 사용자의 요구에 의해 전류의 양을 조절할 수 있는 전원이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 사용자에 의해 설정된 전원을 공급하는 AMOLED 디스플레이용 IP의 driver 블록을 설계하고 이에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 설계된 IP의 driver는 전압에 대해 다이오드 전류 곡선을 가지는 AMOLED의 특성 때문에 출력 전압 레귤레이션에 중점을 두었고, low load시에는 PSM(Pulse-skipping mode)로 동작하고 medium/high load시에는 1.5MHz PWM(Pulse-width modulation) mode로 동작한다. 설계된 IP의 driver는 step-up converter의 DCM(Dis-Continue Mode)에서 발생하는 ringing 현상을 제거하도록 설계하였다. Ringing 현상은 IC내의 power switch를 파괴하거나 주위의 소자들에 EMI를 증가시키는 역할을 하게 된다. 설계된 IP의 driver에서는 ringing killer 회로를 통해 이를 최소화하였다. Mobile applications를 고려하여 disable시에는 standby current를 $1{\mu}A$이하로 설계하여 true shut-down이 가능하도록 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 드라이버는 AMOLED의 디스플레이용 듀얼 파워 매니지먼트회로와 같은 시스템에 효율적으로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

ZigBee는 저전력 저속 근거리 무선 통신 프로토콜로서 센서 네트워크에 많은 적용이 되는 프로토콜이다. ZigBee가 PAN을 구성하는 방법은 Beacon Enabled PAN과 Non Beacon Enabled PAN의 두 가지가 존재 한다. Non Beacon Enabled PAN에서 데이터 전송방식은 End-Device가 원하는 시점에 Active 상태에 진입하여 데이터를 보내는 방법으로 저전력을 지원한다. 그러므로 Router는 End-Device가 데이터를 보내는 시간을 정확히 알 수 없게된다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해서 Router는 항상 Active 상태로 존재해야 한다. 이로 인해 Non Beacon Enabled PAN을 사용하는 센서 네트워크에서 Router는 별도의 상시 전원을 공급 받아야한다. 그러나 Non Beacon Enabled PAN의 ZigBee Router가 건전지와 같은 한정적인 전력 공급원을 가지게 되는 상황에서는 안정적인 네트워크 구축이 불가능하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해서 PAN Time을 통한 네트워크 동기화를 사용한 저전력 알고리즘을 제안한다. End-Device는 PAN Time을 사용하여 PAN의 동기화를 수행하며, PAN Time을 통해 Router의 저전력 진입을 지원한다.

Continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost converters are commonly used in home appliances and various industries because of their simple topology and low input current ripples. However, these converters suffer from several disadvantages, such as hard switching of the active switch and reverse recovery problems of the output diode. These disadvantages increase voltage stresses across the switch and output diode and thus contribute to switching losses and electromagnetic interference. A new topology is presented in this work to improve the switching characteristics of CCM boost converters. Zero-current turn-on and zero-voltage turn-off are achieved for the active switches. The reverse-recovery current is reduced by soft turning-off the output diode. In addition, an input current sensorless control is applied to the proposed topology by pre-calculating the duty cycles of the active switches. Power factor correction is thus achieved with less effort than that required in the traditional method. Simulation and experimental results verify the soft-switching characteristics of the proposed topology and the effectiveness of the proposed input current sensorless control.

Individual DC voltage balance problem is an inherent issue for cascaded H-bridge (CHB) based converter. When the CHB-based static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is operating at zero current mode, the software-based individual DC voltage balancing control techniques may not work because of the infinitesimal output current. However, the different power losses of each cell would lead to the individual DC voltages unbalance. The uneven power losses on the local supplied cell-controllers (including the control circuit and drive circuit) would especially cause the divergence of individual DC voltages, due to their characteristic as constant power loads. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an adaptive voltage balancing module which is designed in the cell-controller board with small size and low cost circuits. It is controlled to make the power loss of the cell a constant resistance load, thus the DC voltages are balanced in zero current mode. Field test in a 10kV STATCOM confirms the performance of the proposed method.

In this paper, a novel type auxiliary active edge resonant snubber assisted zero current soft switching pulse modulation Single-Ended Push Pull (SEPP) series load resonant inverter using IGBT power modules is proposed for cost effective consumer high-frequency induction heating (IH) appliances. Its operating principle in steady state is described by using each switching mode's equivalent operating circuits. The new multi resonant high-frequency inverter with series load resonance and edge resonance can regulate its high frequency output power under a condition of a constant frequency zero current soft switching (ZCS) commutation principle on the basis of the asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) control scheme. Brand-new consumer IH products using the proposed ZCS-PWM series load resonant SEPP high-frequency inverter using IGBTs is evaluated and discussed as compared with conventional high-frequency inverters on the basis of experimental results. In order to extend ZCS operation ranges under a low power setting PWM as well as to improve efficiency, the high frequency pulse density modulation (PDM) strategy is demonstrated for high frequency multi-resonant inverters. Its practical effectiveness is substantially proved from an application point of view.

In the 4th industrial revolution, changes in the technological paradigm have had a direct impact on the maintenance system of ships. The 2-stroke low speed engine system integrates with the core equipment required for propulsive power. The Condition Based Management (CBM) is defined as a technology that predictive maintenance methods in existing calender-based or running time based maintenance systems by monitoring the condition of machinery and diagnosis/prognosis failures. In this study, we have established a framework for CBM technology development on our own, and are engaged in engineering-based failure analysis, data development and management, data feature analysis and pre-processing, and verified the reliability of failure mode DB using LSTM algorithms. We developed various simulated failure mode scenarios for 2-stroke low speed engine and researched to produce data on onshore basis test_beds. The analysis and pre-processing of normal and abnormal status data acquired through failure mode simulation experiment used various Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) techniques to feature extract not only data on the performance and efficiency of 2-stroke low speed engine but also key feature data using multivariate statistical analysis. In addition, by developing an LSTM classification algorithm, we tried to verify the reliability of various failure mode data with time-series characteristics.

The LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) I/O cells, fully compatible with ANSI TIA/ EIA-644 LVDS standard, are designed using a 0.35${\mu}m$ standard CMOS technology. With a single 3V supply, the core cells operate at 1.34Gbps and power consumption of the output driver and the input receiver is 10. 5mW and 4.2mW, respectively. In the output driver, we employ the DCMFB (Dynamic Common-Mode FeedBack) circuit which can control the DC offset voltage of differential output signals. The SPICE simulation result of the proposed output driver shows that the variation of the DC offset voltage is 15.6% within a permissible range. In the input receiver, the proposed dual input stage with a positive feedback latch covers rail-to-rail input common-mode range and enables a high-speed, low-power operation. 5-channels of the proposed LVDS I/O pair can handle display data up to 8-bit gray scale and UXGA resolution.

Recently, many small and medium size diesel vehicles have been equipped with turbocharger and EGR system to get high performance and reduce $NO_x$ emissions but its application to heavy-duty diesel engine is not common yet. In this work, the simulation model for EURO-3 engine was developed using WAVE and then its performance and emission level were verified by comparing with experimental results. The possibility of current EURO-3 engine equipped with LPL EGR system which would be satisfied the EURO-5 regulation are examined. ESC 13 mode was chosen as the primary engine test mode, and the injection timing and fuel quantity were changed to compensate the lost engine performance caused by EGR. The system developed in this study shows that the current EURO-3 engine could satisfy EURO-5 $NO_x$ regulation by applying LPL EGR.

It is very important to evaluate on/off-line stability to operate the power system stably and economically. Until now, we have continuously secured the operation reliability of the power system through the evaluation of transient, voltage and small signal stability. This paper proposes that it is possible to operate in KWAMS by applying the multi-section analysis and subspace methods and verifying the reliability of the algorithms to directly estimate the dominant oscillation mode of the power system from the signal waveform acquired from the phasor measurement units. In addition, this paper shows that the dominant oscillation mode can be detected from real-time measurement data in power systems. Therefore, if we can monitor the state of the power system in real time, it is possible to avoid a large-scale power outage by knowing the possibility of the power system accident in advance.
