A Control Approach Integrating Electric Vehicle Charger and Dynamic Response of Demand‑Side Resource Aggregators

Fu‑Sheng Pai,Po‑Sheng Tseng 대한전기학회 2020 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.15 No.3

Regardless of whether level 1, level 2, or dc fast charging, several methods are under development or available as an aftermarket option for Plug-in electric vehicles (EVs). While confning the charging behavior of EVs to low-load periods is diffcult, it leads to signifcant and uncertain load peaks and valleys in the utility power network. Therefore, this paper proposes a new method for an electric vehicle charger. The proposed charging method involves power supervisory characteristics on the basis of the paradigm of a constant-current and a constant-voltage (CC–CV) charger so that the external commands from the demand-side resource aggregator in the smart grid can be executed. In the method, frst, a feedback loop is included in the controller to formulate the relationship between battery voltage and charging power as a quadratic concave downward polynomial. The controlled output power at the beginning of constant voltage charging is then set to the maximum value of the quadratic polynomial because the charging power requirement near this point is closed to the highest. Hence, if the charging power is lower than the allowable maximum power, the proposed charger is determined to have followed the traditional CC–CV charging steps. On contrast, the proposed circuit launches the power control loop when the actual charging power is beyond the maximum power limitation of aggregator. The proposed charger can keep the power consumption inside an allowable range of aggregator. That is the power consumption at the EV charging sites becomes directly programmable by their aggregators. The proposed method is examined by conducting an interactive test of a remote energy management system and the proposed controller. The results revealed that the proposed method provide an easy method to dynamically control consumption pattern of the EV charging for demand-side power management.

Fu You Fu,Lie Zhao Liu,You Rong Chai,Li Chen,Tao Yang,Ai Fen Ma,Cun Ming Qu,Lin Jiang,Zheng Sheng Zhang,Jia Na Li 한국유전학회 2007 Genes & Genomics Vol.29 No.3

Husk proportion (HP) and lignin content (LC) are two important traits of seed quality of B. napus. Efficient selection of these two traits is an important way to improve the seed quality in meal improvement. A set of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of B. napus (GH06 × Zhongyou 821) was used for mapping QTLs of HP and LC in a two-year study in different environments. 509 markers (78 SSR markers, 66 RAPD markers and 365 SRAP markers) were mapped on 26 linkage groups with an average length of 73.96 cM. The map covered a total of 1923 cM, and the average distance between two adjacent markers was 3.78 cM. Analysis of variance of LC and HP indicated that. LC might not be significantly affected by environment (F = 2.96 < 3.02) and HP might be affected by genotype × environment interactions. A total of 15 significant QTLs were detected in eight linkage groups with a LOD threshold value of 2.5 (LR ≥ 11.5) by CIM, explaining 4.99-16.14% of phenotype variation. Some QTLs of LC and HP were detected in near regions of the same linkage groups, such as qLCBB05-6-1 and qLCWZ06-6-1, qLCBB05-10-2 and qLCBB06-10-1 and qLCWZ06-10-2, qHPBB05-9-3 and qHPBB06-9-1, qHPBB05-10-4 and qHPBB06-10-2 and qHPBB06-10-3 and qHPWZ06-10-1. This study indicates that the repeatedly detected QTLs of LC and HP might be major-effect QTLs of LC and HP.

Fu, Z.,Wang, X.,Sheng, T.,Fu, X.,Jeong, J.H. American Scientific Publishers 2014 Journal of nanoscience and nanotechnology Vol.14 No.5

In this paper, a facile synthetic route for the preparation of NaLn(MoO4)(2):Eu3+ (Ln = Gd, Y) nanocrystals by a hydrothermal method is reported. The NaLn(MoO4)(2):Eu3+ (Ln = Gd, Y) micro-powders were synthesized by a high temperature solid-state reaction. The optical properties of Eu3+ as a local structural probe are analyzed when being incorporated into NaLn(MoO4)(2) (Ln = Gd, Y) micro- powders and nanocrystals. In NaLn(MoO4)(2):Eu3+ (Ln = Gd, Y), the substitution of Ln(3+) by Eu3+ is confirmed and the point symmetry of the site and crystal structure are analyzed. The luminescence mechanism and the size dependence of their fluorescence properties in NaLn(MoO4)(2):Eu3+ (Ln = Gd, Y) micro-powders and nanocrystals are also discussed in detail.

Effect of six sugars on the longevity, oviposition performance and nutrition accumulation in an endoparasitoid, Meteorus pulchricornis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Sheng Sheng,Xiaorui Zhang,Yu Zheng,Jiao Wang,Yu Zhou,Chengwu Liao,Jun Wang,Fu-an Wu 한국응용곤충학회 2019 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.22 No.1

The effects of six sugar resources (fructose, glucose, sucrose, trehalose, raffinose and honey) on the longevity, oviposition performance and nutrition levels of Meteorus pulchricornis, a thelytokous larval endoparasitoid of the common cutworm Spodoptera litura were examined under laboratory conditions. Female adults of M. pulchricornis fed 1 M fructose, glucose, trehalose or sucrose solutions survived longer than those fed on other sugar solutions or water. When provided with honey or sucrose solutions, the female parasitoids laid more offspring than those fed other sugar diets or the control. The body size of offspring driven from honey-, fructose-, sucrose-, and glucose-fed females, along with water-fed group, were larger than the trehalose- and raffinose-fed females. However, the emergence rates of all offspring generated from different sugars- and water-fed females were similar. When separately given honey, sucrose or fructose, M. pulchricornis females accumulated fructose at a higher level than the other groups. Parasitoid wasps fed trehalose solution accumulated the highest level of total sugar. Glycogen levels and lipid content were highest at emergence and then decreased across all diets. In addition, females fed on trehalose had the highest level of glycogen compared to other sugar diets and water control regardless of emergency level. Females fed trehalsoe, fructose, and glucose solutions had a higher level of lipid than those fed other sugar solutions and water at life end. The outcome of this study can benefit both laboratory rearing and management interventions that improve sugar sources for the parasitoid in the field.

OPEN SERVICE INNOVATION: PROPOSED ANTECEDENTS AND MODERATORS FROM KNOWLEDGE-BASED VIEW

Fu-Sheng Tsai,Julia L. Lin,Yu-Chia Chen 글로벌지식마케팅경영학회 2016 Global Marketing Conference Vol.2016 No.7

The present paper discusses the interrelationship among knowledge creation, heterogeneity, and open service innovation – an important theme of marketing research. Drawing on the literature of knowledge based innovation, we argue that both researchers and practitioners should extend the functionality of created knowledge into open and service-oriented innovation context. Our conceptual framework represent the following major points. First, the four classic knowledge creation mode each has different influences on open service innovation, given employee and customer knowledge is a cornerstone of service innovation. Specifically, socialization positively, externalization positively, combination positively, and internalization negatively predicts open service innovation. Second, knowledge heterogeneity moderates in the above mentioned relationships. Implication are discussed

Urothelial Dysfunction and Chronic Inflammation are Associated With Increased Bladder Sensation in Patients With Chronic Renal Insufficiency

Sheng-Fu Cheng,Yuan-Hong Jiang,Hann-Chorng Kuo 대한배뇨장애요실금학회 2018 International Neurourology Journal Vol.22 No.S2

Purpose: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients usually have lower urinary tract symptoms, such as frequency and urgency. Additionally, they frequently suffer from urinary tract infections. This study investigated dysfunction and chronic inflammation of the bladder urothelium in ESRD/CKD patients. Methods: This study enrolled 27 patients with CKD (n=13) or ESRD (n=14) for urodynamic studies and bladder biopsies. Patients presented with detrusor underactivity (DU; n=8) or bladder oversensitivity (BO; n=19). Bladder biopsies were performed in these patients and in 20 controls. The bladder mucosa was examined for E-cadherin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) expression, activated mast cell count (through tryptase staining), and urothelial apoptosis (through terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling [TUNEL]). The urodynamic parameters were also compared with variables regarding urothelial dysfunction. Results: The bladder mucosa samples of ESRD and CKD patients revealed significantly higher mast cell counts, more urothelial apoptosis, and lower levels of ZO-1 expression than the control samples. E-cadherin expression was significantly reduced in ESRD/CKD patients with DU, but not in ESRD/CKD patients with BO. Increased mast cell and apoptotic cell counts were also associated with ESRD/CKD with BO. Less expression of ZO-1 and E-cadherin was significantly associated with increased bladder sensation and a small bladder capacity. Conclusions: Bladder urothelial dysfunction and chronic inflammation were present to a noteworthy extent in patients with ESRD or CKD. Increased inflammation and defective barrier function were more notable in ESRD/CKD bladders with BO than in those with DU. The clinical characteristics of these patients may involve urothelial pathophysiology.

중(中),한(韓) 유교식 조상제사의 비교 연구

고복승 ( Fu Sheng Gao ) 경희대학교 민속학연구소 2010 한국의 민속과 문화 Vol.15 No.-

본 논문은 중국 산동성과 한국의 조상제사를 비교하였다. 제Ⅱ장에서는 먼저 중국과 한국의 유교식 조상제사의 양상을 분석했다. 중국은 설날, 한식, 7월 15일, 10월 1일, 부모님의 忌日에 기제를 크게 지낸다. 한국은 설날, 한식, 단오, 추석, 기제를 크게 지내고 있다. 제Ⅲ장에서는 중국과 한국 조상제사의 지속과 변화의 모습에 주목하였다. 근대에 들어와 중국과 한국은 봉건시대에서 벗어나 민주화 시대에 접어들면서 조상제사의 의미가 퇴색되었다. 지금은 비록 유교식 조상제사가 정치적 역할을 하지는 않지만 孝사상을 선양하는 사회적 통념 속에서 큰 가치를 갖고 있다. 따라서 유교식 조상제사는 보존되고 지속되어야 한다. 그러나 유교식 조상제사는 날이 갈수록 사라지고 있다. 중국의 경우는 공산주사상의 영향으로, 한국의 경우는 기독교와 천주교를 비롯한 외래 종교의 영향으로 약화되는 추세이다. Ancestral rites are ceremonies dedicating the ancestors as a sacrificial ritual. China and Korea have the same confucian culture, and also they have lots of things in common and differences. Nevertheless, there aren`t many comparative studies in confucian ancestral rites so far. This thesis says the sameness and the differences of two countries` confucian ancestral rites based on the research on the critical apparatus and on-site inspections of the confucian ancestral tires. In the first chapter, examining Chinese confucian ancestral rites developments and Korean confucian ancestral rites acceptance and developments, the thesis studies the ancestral rites done in two countries. In the second chapter, the thesis compares the concept, time, place, kinds and offerings of Shandong Sheng in China and Korea`s ancestral rites. Through this comparison, it not only defines the sameness and differences of the two countries` confucian ancestral rites but also it analyzes the causes of differences. In the third chapter, the thesis compares the continuation and the changes of the confucian ancestral rites. Although though the confucian ancestral rites continue in two countries, they have been changed a lot. So, this thesis analyzes a political, cultural, economical and religious cause changing the confucian ancestral rites. The following is the sameness of the confucian ancestral rites in China and Korea. First, the confucian ancestral rites are a composite of the head family system and the confucian ideas formed in the Thou Dynasty. It means only the first son has the right to perform ancestral rites. Even now, on a big traditional holiday like lunar new year`s day, the family gets together in the first son`s house and performs ancestral rites. Second, successive rulers spreaded the confucian ancestral rites to the public to strengthen royal authority. Third, the confucian ancestral rites are decreasing these days. The following is the differences. First, the two countries have the different generation ancestral rites. China performs the three generation ancestral rites, while Korea performs the four generation ancestral rites. Second, the time of the ancestral rites are different. China performs the ancestral rites on lunar new year`s day, Hansik (the 105th day after the winter solstice), 15th July, 1st October and the day of parents` death. Korea performs the ancestral rites on lunar new year`s day, Hansik (the 105th day after the winter solstice), Dano (the fifth day of the fifth month of the year), Chuseok (August 15th in the lunar calendar) and the anniversaries of the four generation`s death. Third, the places are different. China performs the ancestral rites at a main floored room and a graveyard. Korea performs the ancestral rites at a shrine and a graveyard. Fourth, offerings are different. In China fried foods are offered while in Korea, seafoods are offered as a offering. Fifth, types are different. China has a house rite, a graveyard rite and a shrine rite, but Korea has rites held four times a year, a graveyard rite and a rite held on an anniversary of a person`s death. Sixth, the changes of confucian ancestral rites are different. China has outside simplified the process of confucian ancestral rites, but inside China still has the confucian ideas. Korea has been influenced the Christianity so, many Koreans have performed the ancestral rites as the Christian religion.

Virtual Reality-based Intelligent Table Lamp

Yingjie Fu,Dongjie Li,Jian Song,Yujia Sheng 보안공학연구지원센터 2014 International Journal of Control and Automation Vol.7 No.10

With the development of modern technology, the intelligent household appliances are more and more popular among people. However, now the lamps on the market are mostly ordinary lamps, and they can not meet the requirements of users. Because of that situation, in this paper, an intelligent lamp based on virtual reality and face/book and voice recognition is designed. Firstly, the master control circuit and peripheral functional circuit of the intelligent lamp are designed with the key of ATMEGA2560 micro dips, and the body of the lamp is designed. At the same time, the virtual environment carrying virtual three-dimensional model is developed using Java (based on cell phone) and C++ (based on personal computer). The Open CV algorithms are used to identify images of objects that the intelligent lamp uploads. Users can interact with intelligent lamp between peripheral functional circuit and virtual environment. There are many characteristics of this intelligent lamp, such as, variety of control mode, high intelligent, stable performance, simple operation, high degree of user experience and so on. Users can modify the PC code and add related module at the reserved ports of the lamp to achieve more functions.
