In the case of the large power transformer, the grain-oriented material is usually used. So, to obtain more accurate results, anisotropy and non-linearity of the material must be considered. The Newton-Raphson(NR) method is generally used for analyzing these non-linear properties, but it consumes so much time, especially when the number of nodes is large or the shape of the model is complex. The transmission line modeling (TLM) method is successfully adopted to the analysis of non-linear properties with FEM, but it has not been adopted to the analysis of the anisotropic material. In this paper, the formulation of the TLM method considering anisotropy is developed and the adoption to the 3-phase transformer is presented.

This paper investigates effects of segmented poles on exciting forces such as cogging torque, BEMF, phase current, torque ripple and local forces. Cogging torque, BEMF and local force are determined by FEM analysis and phase current is calculated using voltage equations after determining BEMF and phase inductance. Effective dead zones at pole separations result in wider than the physical dead zones due to leakage field during magnetization. Due to the existence of dead zones, there exist additional exciting harmonics of the cogging torque which play adverse effect on vibration and noise performance. The magnitude of BEMF is decreased and the waveforms are also distorted depending on dead zone positions. Segmented poles inevitably cause uneven magnetic field distribution at pole separations which introduces additional harmonics of exciting forces which are detrimental to structural to structural resonances. They also decrease motor efficiency by reducing effective phase BEMF.

We fabricated a resistive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) of a meander type based on a YBCO film with the meander cross section of 5 $\times$ $10^{-6}$$cm^2$, and performed current limitation experiments. The film was coated quench current was 9.6 Apeak at 60 Hz, and the fast quench time was 0.63 msec. The resistance of the limiter continuously increased for three cycles dut to the temperature rise in the gold layer. The temperature of the current limiting element reached the room temperature in 11 msec, $150^{\circ}C$ in 54 msec after quench, and was saturated afterwards. For $45^{\circ}$and $90^{\circ}$faults the fast quench times were 0.56 msec and 0.26 msec, respectively. The quench time is believed to be reduced because the fault occurred when the current was either increasing or at the peak value. This limiter effectively limited the fault current to about 1/5 of the potential current with no SFCL right after the fault and to about 1/8.5 in three cycles. We confirmed that the gold layer effectively carried out the role of heat dissipation as the SFCL was quenched.

Multi-level inverters are now receiving widespread interest form the industrial drives for high power variable speed applications. Especially, for the high power variable speed applications, a diode clamped multi-level inverter has been widely used. However, it has the inherent problem that the voltage of the link capacitors fluctuates. This paper describes a voltage control scheme effectively to suppress the DC-link potential fluctuation for a diode clamped four-level inverter. The current to flow from/into the each link capacitor is analyzed and the operation limit is obtained when a conventional SVPWM is used. To overcome the operation limit, a modified carrier-based SVPWM is proposed. Various simulation and experiment results are presented to verify the proposed voltage control scheme for DC-link voltage balancing.

This paper proposes a new compensation algorithm for stator resistance that is crucial for improving the direct vector control performance of an induction motor. This algorithm is based on the flux estimator that is derived from the stator voltage equation. Since a flux estimator is dependent on the stator resistance, a flux error originates from the variation of the stator resistance. This parameter mismatch in the estimator thereafter affects the flux and torque response. Accordingly, a new compensator has been designed to offset this degradation in the responses. The proposed compensator is very simple to implement and does not require any modifications to the motor model or any special interruptions of the controller. The value of the stator resistance is attained in real time through measuring the terminal voltage and current. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme has been confirmed through both simulation and experimentation.

In the industrial motor drive system which is composed of a motor and load connected with a flexible shaft, a torsional vibration is often generated because of the elastic elements in torque transmission. This vibration, which is generated in a two-mass mechanical system. To solve this problem, recently there has been a lot of researches for the robust control relevant to the $H_{\infty}$ control suppressing the torsional vibration and rejecting the torque disturbance. In the case of the $H_{\infty}$controller, however, the command tracking property becomes worse because of overshoot during transient response. For this reason the $H_{\infty}$ controller, which includes the two-degrees-of-freedom(TDOF) controller, is designed in order to improve command tracking property. However, it also includes complexity realizing this controller. In this paper, a new $H_{\infty}$ controller with partial state feedback is proposed. Proposed $H_{\infty}$controller has simple structure but satisfies with the fast command tracking property and the attenuation of disturbances and vibrations simultaneously, just like the complicated TDOF $H_{\infty}$ controller.

Both models would be very effective for analyzing the dynamic performance of the Unified Power Flow Controller.
