This paper presents a modeling and simulation of a PI controller for maximum power extraction of a grid-connected wind energy conversion system with a link of a rectifier and an inverter. It discusses the maximum power control algorithm fnr a wind turbine and proposes, in a graphical form, the relationships of wind turbine output, rotor speed, power coefficient, tip-speed ratio with wind speed when the wind turbine is operated under the maximum power control. The control objective is to always extract maximum power from wind and transfer the power to the utility by controlling both the Pitch angle of the wind turbine blades and the inverter firing angle. Pitch control method is mechanically complicated, but the control performance is better than that of the stall regulation method. The simulation results performed on MATLAB will show the variation of generator's rotor angle and rotor speed, pitch angle, and generator output.

Performance of column type bioreactor packed with immobilized cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) on chitosan and Amberite IRA 900 was evaluated for cyclodextrin(CD) production. For CGTase immobilized on chitosan, the maximum CD conversion yield of 42% was achieved at the range of 88-168 units of immobilizied CGTase per gram of chitosan, retention time of 0.3 hr, and from 5.0% (w/v) of partially cyclized soluble starch. On the other hand, for CGTase immobilized on Amberite IRA 900, the maximum conversion yield of 40% was obtained at the range of 3.6-11.0 units of immobilized CGTase per gram of carrier and retention time of 1.2 hr from 5.0% of substrate. Above CD conversion yields are almost identical level with that can be obtained with soluble CGTase of 47%. The productivities of bioreactor packed with immobilized CGTase were 17.0g of CD/lㆍhr for amberite IRA 900 and 15.5g of CD/lㆍhr for chitosan. The partially cyclized starch with soluble CGTase were more suitable as substrate to achieve better CD conversion yield, and 5% (w/v) of partially cyclized soluble starch containing 10% (w/w) of CD was found to be most suitable to obtain maximum CD conversion yield.

In this paper a neural network controller for achieving maximum power tracking as well as output voltage regulation, for a wind energy conversion system (WECS) employing a permanent magnet synchronous generator is proposed. The permanent magnet generator (PMG) supplies a dc load via a bridge rectifier and two buck-boost converters. Adjusting the switching frequency of the first buck-boost converter achieves maximum power tracking. Adjusting the switching frequency of the second buck-boost converter allows output voltage regulation. The on-time of the switching devices of the two converters are supplied by the developed neural network (NN). The effect of sudden changes in wind speed and/ or in reference voltage on the performance of the NN controller are explored. Simulation results showed the possibility of achieving maximum power tracking and output voltage regulation simulation with the developed neural network controllers. The results proved also the fast response and robustness of the proposed control system.

The objective of this study was to understand the conversion characteristics of glucose and xylose using the major monosaccharide standards for lignocellulosic biomass. The acid-catalyzed organosolv pretreatment conducted using ethanol was significantly different from the acid-catalyzed process conducted in an aqueous medium. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), levulinic acid and furfural were produced from glucose conversion. The maximum yield of 5-HMF was 5.5%, at 200℃, when 0.5% sulfuric acid was used. The maximum yield of levulinic acid was 21.5%, at 220℃, when 1.0% sulfuric acid was used. Furfural was produced from xylose conversion and under 0.5% sulfuric acid, furfural reached the maximum yield 48.5% at 210℃. Ethyl levulinate and methyl levulinate were also formed from the glucose standard following the esterification reaction conducted under conditions of the combined conversion method, which proceeded under both ethanol-rich and water-rich conditions.

In this paper an optimal switching angle control of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive system is investigated for achieving maximum energy conversion ratio. A new magnetizing method is proposed with a low switching frequency. The proposed algorithm maximizes the positive energy conversion region, which is directly related to the mechanical output, and reduces the reactive power region with the same field energy region. As a consequence, a torque ripple is also sufficiently reduced compared with that of the conventional switching angle magnetizing method. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme provides a high efficiency and a low ripple drive.

합리적인 수공구조물의 설계를 위해서는 안정적인 확률강우량을 산정하는 것은 가장 중요한 과정 중의 하나이다. 확률강우량은 강우관측소에서 관측된 강우자료로부터 각 지속기간에 해당하는 연최대치 강우계열을 구성한 자료의 빈도해석을 통해 산정하게 된다. 연최대치 강우 계열은 대부분 시간강우량 또는 일강우량 자료를 통해 추출하므로, 적절한 고정시간-임의시간 환산계수를 연최대치 강우 계열에 반영할 필요성이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기상청에서 관측한 37개 지점의 분단위 강우자료와 시간 및 일 단위 강우자료를 활용하여 지속기간별로 고정시간-임의시간 환산계수를 추정하였다. 또한, 추정된 환산계수를 회귀분석하여 지속기간에 따른 고정시간-임의시간 환산계수의 회귀식을 유도하였다. 추정된 환산계수를 연최대치 강우 자료에 반영함으로써 보다 안정적인 확률강우량을 산정하는 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다.

Esterification of soybean oil with methanol was investigated. First of all, liquid-liquid equilibriums for systems of soybean oil and methanol were measured at temperatures ranging from 40 to 65$^{\circ}C$. Profiles of conversion of soybean oil with time were determined from the glycerine content in reaction mixtures for the different kinds of catalysts, such as NaOH, CaO, Ca(OH)$_2$, MgO, Mg(OH)$_2$, and Ba(OH)$_2$. The effects of dose of catalyst, cosolvent and reaction temperature on final conversion were examined. Esterification of waste vegetable oil with methanol was investigated and compared to the case of soybean oil. Solubility of methanol in soybean oil was substantially greater than that of soybean oil in methanol. When the esterification reaction of soybean oil was catalyzed by solid catalyst, final conversion was strongly dependent on the alkalinity of the solid catalyst, and increased with the alkalinity of the metal. Hydroxides from the alkali metals were more effective than oxides. When Ca(OH)$_2$ was used for the esterification catalyst, maximum value of final conversion was measured at dose of 4％. When CHCl$_3$ as a cosolvent, was added into the reaction mixture of soybean oil which catalyzed by Ba(OH)$_2$, maximum value of final conversion was appeared at dose of 3％. When waste vegetable oil was catalyzed by NaOH and solid catalysts, high final conversion, over 90％, and fast reaction rate were obtained.

In this paper, a simplified maximum power point tracking technique for the solar charger is presented. Main advantages of the proposed charger include low cost and optimized charge time. The maximum power point tracking method is used to deliver the maximum power from PV array to the battery thereby reducing the charge time. Moreover, the proposed technique which tracks the maximum power point by adjusting output current helps reduce the quantity of required number of sensors for the charger. The experimental protype was implemented by using an 80W PV array, a buck converter and a digital signal processor to verify the feasibility of the proposed method.

계약전력 산정 방법에서 적용되는 계약전력 환산율은 전력용변압기의 용량을 산정하는데 매우 중요한 기준이다. 본 연구에서는 AMR(자동검침시스템) 시스템에 의해 산업용전력사용고객을 대상으로 각 수용가 계약전력과 최근 5년 동안의 최대전력을 조사하였다. 조사된 자료의 전체 특징과 중심적인 경향을 알아보기 위해서 평균값 등의 특징파라메터를 분석하였고, 회귀분석을 통한 선형적인 방법과 비선형적인 방법으로 그 경향을 분석하였다. 따라서 산업용고객의 계약전력 결정에 필요한 계약전력환산율의 특성과 변압기최대이용률이 60[%] 이상인 고객을 중심으로 분석한 회귀분석 모형과의 특성을 비교하였다.
