Replacing a manual switch installed in a feeder for a distribution system with an automatic one increases the reliability of the electric power system. This is because the automatic switch can shorten the duration of a fault the customer experiences by splitting the faulty section faster than the manual one does. However, improving the reliability of the distribution system may increase investment costs. Here, the investment costs include automatic switch cost, replacement work cost and labor cost. For this reason, importance should be attached to the proper balance between the increase of the investment costs and the improvement of the reliability of the distribution system. This article analyzed reliability index and economics when manual switches installed in a feeder (RBTS Bus2 model) was replaced by automatic ones. In addition, it attempted to draw the optimum rate of automation of manual switches by automatic ones using the GRG optimization method, considering the current economic requirements.

본 논문에서는 교류전류 집중현상이 고려된 바이폴라 등가모델에서 내부 베이스-컬렉터 캐패시턴스(C/sub μ/)와 외부 베이스-컬렉터 캐패시턴스(C/sub μx/)를 분리해서 추출하는 개선된 방법을 연구하였다. 먼저, 기존 추출방법들의 문제점들을 파악하고, 교류전류 집중 캐패시턴스가 포함된 차단모드 등가회로로부터 개선된 추출방정식들을 유도하였다. 이렇게 추출된 C/sub μx/와 C/sub μx/를 사용하여 모델 된 전류 및 전력이득 주파수 응답곡선들은 기존 추출방법으로 얻어진 곡선보다 측정 데이터와 훨씬 잘 일치되었으며, 이는 개선된 추출방법의 정확도를 증명한다.

We studied the flux-flow current-voltage characteristics of microwave-generated fluxons formed in serially stacked intrinsic Josephson junctions fabricated on$ HgI_2$-intercalated $Bi_2$$Sr_2$$CaCu_2$O/8+x/(Bi2212) single crystals. With increasing the irradiation power of 73$\square$76 GHz microwave, the supercurrent branch became resistive and split into multiple sub -branches. Each sub-branch represented a specific mode of collective motion of Josephson fluxons. We also observed similar branch splitting In a mesa prepared on an underdoped Bi2212 single crystal in a static magnetic field.

수평 전기로에서 AgInS2 다결정을 합성하여 HWE 방법으로 AgInS2 단결정 박막을 반절연성 GaAs(100) 위에 성장하였다. AgInS2 단결정 박막은 증발원과 기판의 온도를 각각 680℃, 410℃로 성장하였다. 이때 단결정 박막의 결정성이 10 K에서 측정한 광발광 스펙트럼은 597.8 nm(2.0741 eV) 근처에서 엑시톤 방출 스펙트럼이 가장 강하게 나타났으며, 또한 이중결정 X-선 요동곡선(DCRC)의 반폭치(FWHM)도 121 arcsec로 가장 작게 측정되어 최적 성장 조건임을 알 수 있었다. Hall 효과는 van der Pauw 방법에 의해 측정되었으며, 온도에 의존하는 운반자 농도와 이동도는 293 K에서 각각 9.35×1023개/㎥, 2.94×10-2㎡/V·s였다. AgInS2 단결정 박막의 광전류 단파장대 봉우리들로부터 10 K에서 측정된 ΔCr(crystal field splitting)은 0.15eV, ΔSo(spin orbit coupling)는 0.0089 eV였다. 광전도 셀로서 응용성을 알아보기 위해 감도(γ), pc/dc(photocurrent/darkcurrent), 최대허용소비전력(maximum allowable power dissipation: MAPD), 응답시간(response time)등을 측정한 결과, S 증기 분위기에 열처리한 광전도 셀의 경우 γ=0.98, pc/dc=1.02×106, MAPD=312 mW, 오름시간(rise time)=10.4 ms, 내림시간(decay time)=10.8 ms로 가장 좋은 특성을 얻었다.

This paper aims at developing the knowledge on the seismic behavior of dowel beam-to-column connections, typically employed in precast buildings in Europe. Despite the large diffusion of the industrial buildings, a high seismic vulnerability was exhibited by these structures, mostly due to the connection systems deficiencies, during some recent earthquakes (Emilia 2012, Turkey 2011). An experimental campaign was conducted on a typical dowel connection between an external column and a roof beam. In this paper, the performed cyclic shear test is described. According to the experimental results, the seismic response of the system is evaluated in terms of strength, stiffness and failure mechanism. Moreover, the complete damage pattern of the test is described by means of the instrumentations records. The connection failure occurred due to the concrete cover failure in the column (splitting failure). Such a mechanism corresponds to a negligible energy dissipation capacity of the connection, compared to the overall seismic response of the structure. The experimental results are also compared with the results of a similar monotonic shear test, as well as with some literature relationships for predicting the strength of dowel connections under horizontal (seismic) loads.

In this study, an artificial solar simulator composed of a 2.5 kW Xe-Arc lamp and mirror reflector was used to carry out the solar thermal two step thermochemical water decomposition cycle which can produce high efficiency continuous hydrogen production. Through various operating conditions, the change of hydrogen production due to the possibility of a dual-zone reactor and heat recovery were experimentally analyzed. Based on the reaction temperature of Thermal-Reduction step and Water-Decomposition step at $1,400^{\circ}C$ and $1,000^{\circ}C$ respectively, the hydrogen production decreased by 23.2% under the power off condition, and as a result of experiments using heat recovery technology, the hydrogen production increased by 33.8%. Therefore, when a thermochemical two-step water decomposition cycle is conducted using a dual-zone reactor with heat recovery, it is expected that the cycle can be operated twice over a certain period of time and the hydrogen production amount is increased by at least 53.5% compared to a single reactor.

$AgInS_2$ single crystal thin filmsl was deposited on throughly etched semi-insulator GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were $680^{\circ}C$ and $410^{\circ}C$ respectively, and the thickness of the single crystal thin films is $6{\mu}m$. From the photocurrent spectrum by illumination of perpendicular light on the c-axis of the $AgInS_2$ single crystal thin film, we have found that the values of spin orbit coupling ${\Delta}So$ and the crystal field splitting ${\Delta}Cr$ were 0.0098 eV and 0.15 eV at 10 K, respectively. In order to explore the applicability as a photoconductive cell, we measured the sensitivity ($\gamma$), the ratio of photocurrent to darkcurrent (pc/dc), maximum allowable power dissipation (MAPD), spectral response and response time. The result indicated that the samples annealed in S vapour the photoconductive characteristics are best. Therefore we obtained the sensitivity of 0.98, the value of pc/dc of $1.02{\times}10^6$, the MAPD of 312 mW, and the rise and decay time of 10.4ms and 10.8ms respectively.

Preparing various types of thin films of oxide semiconductors is a promising approach to fabricate efficient photoanodes and photocathodes for hydrogen production via photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. In this work, we investigate the feasibility of an efficient photocathode for PEC water reduction of a p-type oxide semiconductor cupric oxide (CuO) thin film prepared via a facile method combined with sputtering Cu metallic film on fluorine-doped thin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrate and subsequent thermal oxidation of the sputtered Cu metallic film in dry air. Characterization of the structural, optical, and PEC properties of the CuO thin film prepared at various Cu sputtering powers reveals that we can obtain an optimum CuO thin film as an efficient PEC photocathode at a Cu sputtering power of 60 W. The photocurrent density and the optimal photocurrent conversion efficiency for the optimum CuO thin film photocathode are found to be -0.3 mA/cm² and 0.09% at 0.35 V vs. RHE, respectively. These results provide a promising route to fabricating earth-abundant copper-oxide-based photoelectrode for sunlight-driven hydrogen generation using a facile method.

An all-reflective, simple noncollinear second harmonic (SH) autocorrelator is described for monitoring the shot-to-shot behavior of ultrashort high-power laser pulses. Two mirrors are used for the dispersion-free splitting of a pulse into two halves. One of the mirrors is able to adjust the delay time and angle between two halves of the laser pulse in a nonlinear crystal. We present the possibility of real-time measurement of the pulse duration, peak intensity (or energy), and the pointing jitters of a laser pulse, by analyzing the spatial profile of the SH autocorrelation signal measured by a CCD camera. The measurement of the shot-to-shot variation of those parameters will be important for the detailed characterization of laser accelerated electrons or protons.
