최근에 WPT(Wireless Power Transmission)기술을 이용하여 모바일기기에 무선으로 전력을 공급하는 무선충전기술의 관심이 급증하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 한정된 주파수 자원을 효율적으로 운용하기 위한 무선기기 간 간섭 영향 분석이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 간섭 영향을 분석하기 위해 최소결합손실(Minimum Coupling Loss)방법과 몬테카를로(Monte Carlo)방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법으로 휴대폰 무선충전기의 3차 하모닉스를 고려한 인접대역의 무선 모뎀과의 간섭 영향을 분석하여 휴대폰 무선충전기로부터 무선 모뎀을 보호하기 위한 보호이격거리와 무선 모뎀의 반경에 따른 허용 간섭원 수를 도출하였다.

최근 리튬이온전지를 채용한 노트북 PC의 수요는 계속 증가하고 있으며, 노트북 PC용 전지로는 잔존용량과 사용가능 시간을 정확하게 예측하며, 스스로 최적조건으로 충방전을 제어할 수 있는 SBP(smart battery pack)를 많이 채용하고 있다. SBP는 과충전, 과방전 및 과전류로부터 리튬이온전지의 안전성을 확보하기 위한 보호회로부 (protection IC)와 잔존용량 및 사용가능시간 등의 계산을 위한 지능회로부 (smart IC)로 구성되어있다. 보호회로는 충전 및 방전 FET를 이용하여 이상전류를 차단하며, SBS(smart battery system)는 system host, smart battery 및 smart battery charger로 구성되어 있다. 향후, SBP에 사용되는 IC는 저가이면서, 소비전류가 낮고, 소형화가 요구된다. 또한, microcomputer control type의 IC를 사용하고, 최적의 알고리즘을 개발하여 잔존용량 및 사용가능시간을 정확하게 예측할 필요가 있다. 이러한 SBS 기술은 노트북 PC 이외에도 전기자전거, 전기자동차, 전력저장용, 군사분야 등 광범위한 분야에서 사용될 것으로 예상된다.

Adopting mobile chargers (MC) in rechargeable wireless sensors network (R-WSN) to recharge sensors can increase network efficiency (e.g., reduce MC travel distance per tour, reduce MC effort, and prolong WSN lifetime). In this study, we propose a mechanism to split the sensing field into partitions that may be equally spaced but differ in distance to the base station. Moreover, we focus on minimizing the MC effort by providing a new charging mechanism called the sector-based charging schedule (SBCS), which works to dispatch the MC in charging trips to the sector that sends many charging requests and suggesting an efficient sensor-charging algorithm. Specifically, we first utilize the high ability of the BS to divide the R-WSN field into sectors then it select the cluster head for each sector to reduce the intra-node communication. Second, we formulate the charging productivity as NP-hard problem and then conduct experimental simulations to evaluate the performance of the proposed mechanism. An extensive comparison is performed with other mechanisms. Experimental results demonstrate that the SBCS mechanism can prolong the lifetime of R-WSNs by increasing the charging productivity about 20% and reducing the MC effort by about 30%.

Interest in Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) technology has been increasing worldwide recently. This trend is proved by commercialized products such as electric toothbrush, wireless razor, and wireless charger for mobile phone battery. Studies for enhancing the applicability of the technology have been continuously conducted. Currently the WPT technology is based on the technologies using microwave, inductively coupling, and magnetic resonance. In the meantime, development of the microwave-based WPT faces difficulty due to health hazards involved in the technology, and application of the WPT technology using inductively coupling is restricted by area due to the problem of transmission length. In comparison, the WPT technology using magnetic resonance draws attention in terms of efficiency and transmission length. In this study, the sending coil based on the WPT technology using magnetic resonance system was replaced with an HTS coil to enhance transmission efficiency. Since the HTS coil has a zero resistance, power transmission loss can be minimized. At the same time, size of the current density could be increased to 100 times or more than typical coils. In addition, through impedance matching of LC device, maximal resonance properties were induced and consequently, frequency selection quality characteristics or Q was enhanced. As a result, the WPT type using the HTS coil showed a longer transmission length and better transmission efficiency compared with the WPT type using typical coils.

Lithium-ion batteries have a small volume, light weight and high energy density, maximizing the utilization of mobile devices. It is widely used for various purposes such as electric bicycles and scooters (e-Mobility), mass energy storage (ESS), and electric and hybrid vehicles. To date, lithium-ion batteries have grown to focus on increasing energy density and reducing production costs in line with the required capacity. However, the research and development level of lithium-ion batteries seems to have reached the limit in terms of energy density. In addition, the charging time is an important factor for using lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, it was urgent to develop a high-speed charger to shorten the charging time. In this thesis, a discharger was fabricated to evaluate the capacity and characteristics of Li-ion battery pack which can be used for e-mobility. To achieve this, a smart discharger is designed with a combination of active load, current sensor, and temperature sensor. To carry out this thesis, an active load switching using sensor control circuit, signal processing circuit, and FET was designed and manufactured as hardware with the characteristics of active discharger. And as software for controlling the hardware of the active discharger, a Raspberry Pi control device and a touch screen program were designed. The developed discharger is designed to change the 600W capacity battery in the form of active load.

Battery has major drawbacks including its size and life expectancy, and environmental problem. As an alternative, energy harvesting is emerging as a potential solution to replace battery along with more energy-efficient IT devices. The idea of harnessing energy from our living environment is sustainable, semi-permanent, and eco-friendly. Also, unlike battery, energy harvester does not require much space to store energy. Therefore, energy harvesting can provide a better source of power for small, portable, and wireless devices. Among various ways of harvesting energy from our surroundings, triboelectricity is chosen due to its potential to be miniaturized, and efficient. Triboelectric effect occurs as two different materials with different polarity of charge separation come into contact through friction, and then become separated so that electric potential difference is achieved. In this research, such characteristic of triboelectricity is used as a way to convert ambient mechanical energy into electric energy.Series of recent researches have shown promising results that the triboelectric energy harvester can be simple and cost effective. However, sufficient electricity level required to operate mobile devices has not yet been achieved.In this research, our group focuses on the design and optimization of triboelectric energy harvesting device to enhance its output. By using maskless lithography to pattern Kapton film and silicon substrate, which is used as a mold for PDMS thin layer, and sputtering metal electrodes on each side, we fabricate and demonstrate different designs of triboelectric energy harvester that utilizes the contact electrification between a polymer thin film and a metal thin foil. In order to achieve optimized result, the output voltage and current are measured under diverse conditions, which include different surface structure and pattern, material, and the gap between layers.
