Demand response is usually operated through using the power rates and incentives. Demand management based on power charges is the most rational and efficient demand management method, and such methods include rolling base charges with peak time, sliding scaling charges depending on time, sliding scaling charges depending on seasons, and nighttime power charges. Search for other methods to stimulate resources on demand by actively deriving the demand reaction of loads to increase the energy efficiency of loads. In this paper, ESS algorithm for saving energy based on predicting the amount of solar power generation that can be used for buildings with small loads not under electrical grid.

Quench behavior of resistive superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLS) with various pattern shapes was investigated. The pattern shapes employed were meander, bi-spiral, and spital shapes of identical line width, gap and margin. SFCLS were fabricated from YBCO thin films grown on two-inch diameter Al$_2$O$_3$ substrates under the same conditions. The total length of current limiting paths was the shortest at the spital shape due to its larger useless space. Inductance component of SFCLs with the spiral shape was around two times as high as those of other two shapes. This is not desirable since impedance characteristics of existing power systems can be changed. Resistance rise of current limiting elements was low at a spiral shape before the whole quench completion, which may act as a disadvantage for simultaneous quench in serial connection between current limiting elements, but the temperature tended to have similar values at higher voltages. On the other hand, hi-spital shape was severe at insulation level between current limiting lines. When these aspects were considered, we concluded that a meander shape was appropriate to design for a resistive SFCL based on thin films except the concentration of electric field at edge areas of strip lines.

In this study, a dynamic simulation model of a heavy-duty truck, equipped with a fuel cell power-train, has been developed and the dynamic behavior of the fuel cell stack has bee investigated using. Output change simulations were performed according to several drive cycle load change of a fuel cell truck. Mathworks' Simulink and Simscape program were used to develop the model. The model is comprised of fuel cell power train, power converter system and truck vehicle part. The vehicle runs at targeted speed of the truck, which is set as the load of the system. The dynamic behavior of the fuel cell stack according to the weight difference were analyzed, and based on this, the dynamic characteristics of the fuel cell output power and battery state with simple load was analyzed.

When LIM is drived by the general purpose inverter, there is no food-back of speed and thrust, etc. Therefore, through analysis of LIM by the simulation, the prediction of operating characteristics and patterns of LIM is necessary. But, the open-loop control system is used widely, because it can consist of simple and cheap. In this paper, we foaled with the dynamic characteristics of LIM drived by V/f constant during acceleration, cruising speed deceleration. And, we compared the simulation value with actual measurement value.

비동기 순차 회로에 대한 시험 벡터를 생성하는 문제는 매우 어려운 문제로 남아 있다. 현재까지 이 문제에 대한 알고리즘은 거의 없었다. 그리고, 기존의 접근 방식은 시험 벡터를 생성하는 동안에는 피이드백 루프를 절단하여 그 곳에 플립플롭이 있는 것처럼 가정하고 시험 벡터를 생성하는 방식이었다. 그래서, 기존의 알고리즘은 동기 순차 회로용 시험 벡터 생성 알고리즘과 매우 유사하였다. 이것은 시험 벡터를 생성할 때에는 비동기 순차회로를 동기 순차 회로로 가정하고 시험 벡터를 생성한다는 것을 의미한다. 그러므로, 생성된 시험 벡터가 비동기 순차 회로에 적용되었을 때, 대상 결함을 검출하지 못할 수도 있다는 것을 나타낸다. 본 논문에서는 비동기 순차 회로에 대한 시험 벡터를 생성할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘을 적용하여 생성된 시험 벡터는 임계레이스(critical race) 문제와 순환(oscillation) 문제의 발생을 최소로 하면서 비동기 순차 회로의 결함을 검출할 수 있다. 그리고, 본 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘을 적용하여 생성된 시험 벡터는 비동기 순차 회로에 대해서 대상 결함을 검출하는 것이 보장된다.

Generating test patterns for asynchronous sequential circuits remains to be a very difficult problem. There are few algorithms for this problem, and previous works cut feedback loops, and insert synchronous flip-flops in the feedback loops during ATPG. The conventional algorithms are similar to the algorithms for synchronous sequential circuits. This means that the conventional algorithms generate test patterns by modeling asynchronous sequential circuits as synchronous sequential circuits. So, test patterns generated by those algorithms nay not detect target faults when the test patterns are applied to the asynchronous sequential circuit under test. In this paper an algorithm is presented to generate test patterns for asynchronous sequential circuits. Test patterns generated by the algorithm can detect target faults for asynchronous sequential circuits with the minimal possibility of critical race problem and oscillation. And it is guaranteed that the test patterns generated by the algorithm will detect target faults.
