This paper proposes an input-series-output-parallel connected ZVS full bridge converter with interleaved control for photovoltaic power conditioning systems (PV PCS). The input-series connection enables a fully modular power-system architecture, where low voltage and standard power modules can be connected in any combination at the input and/or at the output, to realize any given specifications. Further, the input-series connection enables the use of low-voltage MOSFETs that are optimized for a very low RDSON, thus, resulting in lower conduction losses. The system costs decrease due to the reduced current, and the volumes of the output filters due to the interleaving technique. A topology for a photovoltaic (PV) dc/dc converter that can dramatically reduce the power rating and increase the efficiency of a PV system by analyzing the PV module characteristics is proposed. The control scheme, consisting of an output voltage loop, a current loop and input voltage balancing loops, is proposed to achieve input voltage sharing and output current sharing. The total PV system is implemented for a 10-kW PV power conditioning system (PCS). This system has a dc/dc converter with a 3.6-kW power rating. It is only one-third of the total PV PCS power. A 3.6-kW prototype PV dc/dc converter is introduced to experimentally verify the proposed topology. In addition, experimental results show that the proposed topology exhibits good performance.

본 연구에서는 이중게이트 MOSFET의 채널크기 변화에 따른 항복전압의 변화를 분석하였다. 차세대 나노소자인 DGMOSFET에 대한 단채널효과 중 매우 작은 값을 갖는 항복전압은 정확한 분석이 요구되고 있다. 항복전압분석을 위하여 포아송방정식의 분석학적 전위분포를 이용하였으며 이때 전하분포함수에 대하여 가우시안 함수를 사용함으로써 보다 실험값에 가깝게 해석하였다. 가우시안 함수의 변수인 이온주입범위 및 분포편차 그리고 소자 파라미터인 채널의 두께, 도핑농도 등에 대하여 항복전압 특성의 변화를 관찰하였다. 본 연구의 모델에 대한 타당성은 이미 기존에 발표된 논문에서 입증하였으며 본 연구에서는 이 모델을 이용하여 항복전압특성을 분석할 것이다. 분석결과 항복전압은 소자파라미터 및 가우시안분포함수의 모양에 크게 영향을 받는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

DC urban railway power system consists of DC power network and AC power network. The DC power network supplies electric power to railway vehicles and the AC power network supplies electric power to station electric equipment. Recently, because of power consumption reduction and peak load shaving, intelligent measurement of regenerative energy and renewable energy adapted on DC urban railway is required. For this reason, DC smart metering system for DC power network shall be developed. Therefore, in this paper, DC voltage sensor, current sensor, and DC smart meter were developed and evaluated by performance test.

The authors have studied on the application of IEC 60364-4-44 to Korean electrical installations of buildings from 2004 sponsored by Korean ministry of commerce, industry and energy and the test field is established in K.E.R.I. (Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute). This paper presents the summary results of establishment of test field and analysis for the application of IEC 60364 in Korea. IEC 60364-4-44 provides rules for the protection against the effects of conducted and radiated disturbances on electrical installations. Especially this standard deals with the protection of low voltage facility against the ground fault in the high voltage side of power distribution system. Many countries define the regulations on the use and production of electrical facilities based on their own power system and technical references which are considered to be suitable for them. The background of circuit of IEC 60364-4-44 is based on the ungrounded system as most of European countries. However, since Korean electric power distribution system is based on multi-grounding system different from European system, it is necessary to evaluate or prove the effect of the IEC 60364-4-44 for introducing and applying it to the domestic grounding system as a Korean standard. This paper presents the establishment of test field to get background data to introduce the IEC 60364-4-44 and to evaluate the standard is applicable to domestic rule for the protection against ground fault through the related test

본 논문에서는 기존의 전구방식 신호등과 비교하여 LED신호등의 교통신호기 간 신호 안전성 측면의 연계 호환성을 실험 검토하고 보완 방안을 설계하여 제안하였다. 실험 분석 결과 신호의 안전성을 향상하기 위하여, 교통신호기의 출력 누설전류에 따른 LED신호등의 OFF 상태 누설전압의 과다로 인한 문제와, 누전상황 대응에 대한 문제에 대하여 보완이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 보완을 위한 교통신호기 규격의 개선 방안은 220V 전원을 기준으로 출력 누설전류 허용 값을 기존의 8mA사양에서 3mA로 변경하고, 출력전압 평가의 기준을 기존의 25-45V에서 65-75V로 변경하는 것이며, LED신호등 규격의 개선 방안은 기존과 동일하게 95V이하에서 OFF상태를 유지하도록 함에 더하여 OFF상태에서 10Kohm이내의 임피던스를 유지하도록 하는 내용을 추가하는 것이다.

The microwave probe for measuring plasma density is widely used for its advantages: First, it is not affected by the reactive gas. Second, it can measure local plasma parameters such as plasma density, plasma potential and plasma temperature. Third, it is simple and robust. A cut-off probe is the one of the most promising microwave probe. Recently, Kim et al. reveals the physics of the cut-off probe but the effect of the sheath on the determination of the plasma density is not explained. In this presentation, for taking account of sheath effects on determination of plasma density from the cut-off peak, a simplified circuit modeling and an E/M simulation are conducted. The results show that occupation ratio of sheath volume between two tips of the cut-off probe and subsequence pressure condition mainly change position of the cut-off peak with respect to plasma frequency. Magnitude of relative voltage taken on the impedance of sheath and the impedance of bulk plasma can explain this effect. Furthermore, effects of gap size, tip radius, and tip length ware revealed based on above analysis.

In this paper, variable gain amplifier(VGA) with a gain slope controller has been proposed and verified by circuit simulations and measurements. The proposed VGA has a gain control, gain slope switch and variable gain range. The input source coupled pair with diode connected load is used for VGA gain stage. The gain slope controller with switch can control VGA gain slope. The proposed VGA is fabricated in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process for multi -standard wireless receiver. The proposed two stage VGA consumes min. 2.0 mW to max. 2.6 mW in gain control range and gives input IP3 of -3.77 dBm and NF of 28.7 dB at 1.8 V power supply under -25 dBm, 1 MHz input. The proposed VGA has 37 dB(-16 dB $\sim$ 21 dB) variable gain range, and 8 dB gain range control per 0.3 V control voltage, and can provide variable gain, positive and negative gain slope control, and gain range control. This VGA characteristics provide design flexibility in multi-standard wireless receiver.
