Indium tin oxide films were deposited on unheated PET substrates by DC reactive magnetron sputtering of In-Sn (90-10 wt%) metallic alloy target. Electrical and optical properties of as-deposited films were systematically studied by control of the deposition parameters such as working pressure, DC power, and oxygen partial pressure. The figures of merit are important factors that summarize briefly the relationship between electrical and optical properties of transparent conducting films. The formulae of T/R$\sub$sh/ and T$\^$10//R$\sub$sh/ are expressed as a function of transmittance and sheet resistance. The best values of those figures of merit were approximately 38.6 and 8.95 (x10$\^$-3/Ω$\^$-1/), respectively.

This paper deals with the operation strategy of reactive power in a multi-infeed HVDC (MIHVDC) system, in which several converters are connected to the same or nearby separate AC buses. The potential problems concerning a MIHVDC system when feeding a weak AC network are as follows: the need for coordination of the recovery control, the possibility of voltage instability or low quality of the area connected to the MIHVDC system, and the risk of mutual commutation failures. These problems in MIHVDC systems are similar to those in single-infeed HVDC (SIHVDC) systems, but the differences with the phenomenon of the SIHVDC system are the interactions between converters. The main reason for the potential problems of HVDC systems (MIHVDC or SIHVDC) is voltage variation; therefore, to mitigate the voltage variations, the performances of the HVDC system should be enhanced. Consequently, to mitigate the potential problems of MIHVDC systems, several solutions are suggested in this study, including installing STATCOM and installing a line arrester on the tower. The study results will be applied to a multi-infeed HVDC system in Korea.

Pork patties were formulated with either steam-dried green tea power or freeze-dried raw tea leaf powder, and the quality characteristics of these products were monitored. Proximate analysis of tea powder contained 17.80~19.85%, 4.70~5.73%, and 5.60~5.77% (as is) crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash, respectively. There were no significance differences in pH among the samples. Chromaticity tended to decrease brightness ($L^*$) and redness ($a^*$), and there were significant differences in yellowness ($b^*$) as the added amount of tea power was increased. For texture, hardness increased as more green tea powder was added. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) values increased after storage for 12 days, whereas samples formulated with green tea powder showed lower TBARS and VBN values compared to control groups. Sensory panelists showed preference for samples with green tea powder added compared to the control group.

An uninterruptible power supply(UPS) with parallel operation is used to increase the power capacity of the system or to secure higher reliability at critical loads. In the parallel operating system composed of the multiple UPSs, load-sharing, i.e. current balance control between them is key technique. Because of its low impedance and quick response characteristics, inverter output current changes very rapidly and thereby easily researches an overload condition. The difference between total load current divided by number of operating inverters and its own current is detected as unbalanced current. Then frequency and voltage are controlled to minimize the active component and the reactive component. A good performance of the proposed load-sharing technique is verified by experiments in the parallel operating system with two 40kVA UPSs.

We propose a algorithm to calculate power factor of fundamental waveform in an environment where the voltage and current have been distorted by harmonics. In the proposed power factor computation algorithm, voltage and current are converted to rotating DQ reference frame, and power factor is calculated from active power and reactive power. We compare the proposed method with the conventional power factor measurement method as mathematically. In a condition that voltage and current are distorted by harmonics, the proposed method accurately measure the power factor of fundamental wave, and it is confirmed by simulation using MATLAB. If the proposed power factor measurement method is applied to an automatic power factor control system, a power factor compensation performance can be maximized in harmonic distortion environment. As a result, it is possible to reduce electricity prices, reduce line loss, increase load capacity, ensure the transmission margin capacity, and reduce the amount of power generation.

This paper presents a new control method of single-phase active power filter(APF) for the compensation of harmonic current components in nonlinear loads. Constructing a imaginary second-phase giving time delay to load currents, making single-phase system into the system that has two phases, complex calculation is possible. In the previous method, it made a imaginary-phase lagged to the load current T/4(here T is the fundamental cycle), but in proposed method, the new signal, which has the delayed phase through the filter, using the phase-delay property of low-pass filter, was used to the second phase. Instantaneous calculation of harmonic current is possible, because two phase have different phase. In this paper, it was done with instantaneous calculation using the rotating reference frames(RRF) that synchronizes with source-frequency, a reference of compensation currents, not applying to instantaneous reactive power theory which uses the existed fixed reference frames. The simulation and experiment about R-L loads using the current source were carried out, and the effect of the proposed method was preyed through the result of this experiment.

This paper proposes a droop control scheme to compensate the unbalanced line-to-line voltage of unbalanced 3-phase load which is coupled with two inverter-based distributed generations through unequal impedance lines. Unbalanced line-to-line load voltages occur due to using single-phase loads, which brings about bad effects on the coupled inverters and the distributed generations. In order to compensate the unbalanced line-to-line voltages, a positive sequence voltage control was used for sharing the active and reactive power and a negative sequence control was used for reducing the negative sequence voltage. The feasibility of the proposed scheme was first verified by computer simulations, and then experiments with a hardware set-up built in the lab. The experimental results were compared with the simulation results to confirm the feasibility of the proposed scheme.

The terminal voltage of a synchronous generator is maintained by the field current control of excitation system. Generally AC/DC converter which is component of AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator) system for excitation current control is connected to diode rectifier and DC/DC converter system. In the case of diode rectifier system of phase controlled converter as AC/DC converter have low power factor and harmonics of lower order in the line current. In this paper, two stage three phase PWM AC/DC converter is studied to solve these problems. The characteristics of a proposed converter reduces the harmonics and reactive power of the distribution line and has fast dynamic response in transient period using boost converter and current control mode buck converts. The proposed method is verified by the computer simulation and experimental results in prototype generation system.
