Redundancy-reliability allocation problems in multi-stage series-parallel systems are addressed in this study. Fuzzy programming techniques are proposed for finding satisfactory solutions. First, a multi-objective programming model is formulated for simultaneously maximizing system reliability and minimizing system total cost. Due to the nature of uncertainty in the problem, the fuzzy set theory and technique are used to convert the deterministic multi-objective programming model into a fuzzy nonlinear programming problem. A heuristic method is developed to get satisfactory solutions for the fuzzy nonlinear programming problem. A Pareto optimal solution is found with maximal degree of satisfaction from the interception area of fuzzy sets. A case study that is related to the electronic control unit installed on aircraft engine over-speed protection system is used to implement the developed approach. Results suggest that the developed fuzzy multi-objective programming model can effectively resolve the fuzzy and uncertain problem when design goals and constraints are not clearly confirmed at the initial conceptual design phase.

In this paper, we implemented and analyzed a wireless power transfer (WPT) system with a CSPR topology. CSPR refers to constant current source, series resonance circuit topology of a transmitting coil, parallel resonance circuit topology of a receiving coil, and pure resistive loading. The transmitting coil is coupled by a magnetic field to the receiving coil without wire. Although the electromotive force (emf) is small (about 4.5V), the voltage on load resistor is 148V, because a parallel resonance scheme was adopted for the receiving coil. The implemented WPT system is designed to be able to transfer up to 1 kW power and can operate a LED TV. Before the implementation, the EMF reduction mechanism based on the use of ferrite and a metal shield box was confirmed by an EM simulation and we found that the EMF can be suppressed dramatically by using this shield. The operating frequency of the implemented WPT system is 30.7kHz and the air gap between two coils is 150mm. The power transferred to the load resistor is 147W and the real power transfer efficiency is 66.4 %.

The aim of this work is to generalize reliability equivalence techniques to apply them to a system consists of two independent and non-identical components connected in series(parallel) system, that have constant failure rates. We shall improve the system by using one component only. We start by establishing two different types of reliability equivalence factors, the survival reliability equivalence (SRE) and mean reliability equivalence (MRE) factors. Our second studies, introducing some applications for our studies in airports and our life. Also, we introduced some numerical results.

Identifying the load and mutual inductance is essential for improving the power transfer capability and power transfer efficiency of Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) systems. In this paper, a steady-state load and mutual inductance identification method focusing on series-parallel compensated IPT systems is proposed. The identification model is established according to the steady-state characteristics of the system. Furthermore, two sets of identification results are obtained, and then they are analyzed in detail to eliminate the untrue one. In addition, the identification method can be achieved without extra circuits so that it does not increase the complexity of the system or the control difficulty. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method has been verified by simulation and experimental results.

In this research, we implement Realtime Air Diffusion Prediction System which is a parallel Fortran model running on distributed-memory parallel computers. The system is designed for air diffusion simulations with four-dimensional data assimilation. For regional air quality forecasting a series of dynamic downscaling technique is adopted using the NCAR/Penn. State MM5 model which is an atmospheric model. The realtime initial data have been provided daily from the KMA (Korean Meteorological Administration) global spectral model output. It takes huge resources of computation to get 24 hour air quality forecast with this four step dynamic downscaling (27km, 9km, 3km, and lkm). Parallel implementation of the realtime system is imperative to achieve increased throughput since the realtime system have to be performed which correct timing behavior and the sequential code requires a large amount of CPU time for typical simulations. The parallel system uses MPI (Message Passing Interface), a standard library to support high-level routines for message passing. We validate the parallel model by comparing it with the sequential model. For realtime running, we implement a cluster computer which is a distributed-memory parallel computer that links high-performance PCs with high-speed interconnection networks. We use 32 2-CPU nodes and a Myrinet network for the cluster. Since cluster computers more cost effective than conventional distributed parallel computers, we can build a dedicated realtime computer. The system also includes web based Gill (Graphic User Interface) for convenient system management and performance monitoring so that end-users can restart the system easily when the system faults. Performance of the parallel model is analyzed by comparing its execution time with the sequential model, and by calculating communication overhead and load imbalance, which are common problems in parallel processing. Performance analysis is carried out on our cluster which has 32 2-CPU nodes.

차량의 연비를 향상시키고 배기가스를 저감하기 위하여 하이브리드 자동차에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 이런 연구들은 병렬형이나 동력분기식 하이브리드 자동차에 집중되어 있다. 상대적으로 직렬형 하이브리드 자동차에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 직렬형 하이브리드 자동차의 경우 엔진이 차축과 분리되어 있으므로 엔진을 최적의 효율 지점에서 작동 시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이런 장점을 최대한으로 이용하기 위하여 발전 시스템을 최적화 하는 연구가 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 엔진을 Optimal Operating Line 상에서 작동시키면서 발전기 또한 최적 효율 지점에서 사용할 수 있는 최적화 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 기존의 발전시스템을 갖는 직렬형 하이브리드 버스와 최적화 된 발전 시스템을 갖는 직렬형 하이브리드 버스의 연비를 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 비교, 연비 향상도를 평가하였다.

In this paper, phase controlled series resonant converter(PCSRC) system for control power supply in base station is suggested. PCSRC system is robust to load variations because it is POSR(parallel output series resonant) type. And it provides stable output voltage by changing phase angle of MOSFET switches to input voltage variations. Firstly, operation analysis about suggested series resonant converter system was carried. Then Computer simulations using PSIM were carried to prove characteristics of suggested system.
