Inrush current and fault current in a transformer need to be distinguished from one another. In order to do this, KEPCO uses a 2nd harmonic restraint/block method. We use two setting values for 2nd harmonic restraint; 15% and 10%. We also apply per-phase blocking method among various harmonic restraint methods. If the transformer is located at the radial system, we adjust 10% in the 2nd harmonic restraint, but this method is not enough to prevent mal-operations of the current differential relay and let us spend more time to change setting value again as the power system changes. In this paper, a more reasonable setting value for a 2nd harmonic blocking scheme in KEPCO is proposed. To present a proposed method, the fault data of the current differential relays which have occurred since 2009 are analyzed. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the results of the RTDS test for the current differential relay of the transformer by KEPCO are analyzed.

This paper proposes a new islanding detection method for inverter-based distributed generators by continuously injecting a negligible amount of 2nd order harmonic current. The proposed method adopts a proportional resonant (PR) controller for the output current control of the inverter, and a PR filter to extract the 2nd order harmonic voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC). The islanding state can be detected by measuring the magnitude ratio of the 2nd order harmonic voltage to the fundamental voltage at the PCC by injecting a 2nd order harmonic current with a 0.8% magnitude. The proposed method provides accurate and fast detection under grid voltage unbalance and load unbalance. The operation of the proposed method has been verified through simulations and experiments with a 5kW hardware set-up, considering the islanding test circuit suggested in UL1741.

Percentage differential characteristic relaying(PDR) has been recognized as the principal basis for power transformer protection. Second harmonic restraint PDR has been widely used for magnetizing inrush in practice. Nowadays, relaying signals can contain 2nd harmonic component to a large extent even in a normal state, and 2nd harmonic ratio indicates a tendency of relative reduction because of the advancement of material. Further, as the power system voltage becomes higher and more underground cables are used, larger 2nd harmonic component in the differential current under internal fault is observed. And then, conventional 2nd harmonic restraint PDR exposes some doubt in reliability. It is, therefore, necessary to develop a new algorithm for performance improvement of conventional protective relaying. This paper proposes an advanced protective relaying algorithm by using voltage-current trend and flux-differential current slope characteristic. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we have made comparative studies of PDR, fuzzy relaying and DWT relaying. The paper is constructed power system model including power transformer, utilizing the WatATP, and data collection is made through simulation of various internal faults and inrush. As the results of test, the new proposed algorithm was proven to be faster and more reliable.

A popular method used by primary protection for power transformer is current ratio differential relaying (RDR) with 2nd harmonic restraints. In modern power transformer due to the use of low-loss amorphous material, the 2nd harmonic component during inrush is significantly reduced. The higher the capacitance of the high voltage status and underground distribution, the more the differential current includes the 2nd harmonic component during internal fault. Thus the conventional method may not operate properly. This paper proposes an advanced relaying algorithm and the prototype IED hardware design and it's real-time experimental results. To evaluate performance of the proposed algorithm, the study is well constructed power system model including power transformer utilizing the EMTP software and the testing is made through simulation of various cases. The proposed relaying that is well constructed using DSP chip and microprocessor etc. has been developed and the prototype IED has been verified through on-line testing. The results show that an advanced relaying based prototype IED never mis-operated and correctly identified all the faults and that inrushes that are applied.

본 논문에서는 펄스 압축 방식을 사용하여 기본주파수 성분을 효과적으로 제거하는 새로운 고조파 영상 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법에 의한 시스템은 가중 쳐프 신호를 송신하고 각 어레이 소자에 수신된 RF 샘플은 송신신호의 고조파 성분에 정합된 상관기를 통과함으로써 고조파 성분만을 선택적으로 펄스 압축한다. 이 때. 기본주파수 성분과 고조파 성분의 상호상관 값은 -50㏈ 이하로 억제하였다. 제안된 기법은 한번의 송수시 과정으로 기본주파수 성분을 효과적으로 제거하여 프레임 율이 기존의 펄스 반전 방식보다 우수한 방식과 우수한 해상도와 신호 대 잡음비 (SNR : Signal to Noise Ratio)를 갖는 고조파 영상을 구현하기 위해 펄스 반전을 적용한 후 펄스 압축을 수행하는 방식으로 구성된다 일반적인 펄스 송신 방식에서는 고조파 성분은 송신음압의 크기가 어느 임계값 이상이 되면 더 이상 증가하지 않고 포화되기 때문에 SNR이 제한되는 단점이 있다. 그러나 제안된 기법은 송신 가중 쳐프 신호의 길이를 늘림으로써 고조파 영상의 SNR을 임의로 증가시킬 수 있다 새로운 시스템의 성능을 컴퓨터를 이용한 모의실험과 실제실험을 통하여 검증하였다

본 연구의 목적은 탄성 표면파에서의 비선형 거동의 이론적 배경을 소개하고 실험적으로 검증하는 것으로서, 이론상의 표면파의 비선형 파라미터는 벌크파에서와 같이 전파된 표면파의 2차 고조파 성분과 기본파 성분 크기의 비에 의존한다. 이를 검증하기 위해 접촉식 탐촉자를 이용한 측정 시스템을 구축하였고, 표면파 전파거리와 인가전압 크기를 변화시키며 알루미늄 6061 합금의 비선형 파라미터를 측정하였다. 또한, 비선형 파라미터를 측정함에 있어서 주파수 의존적 감쇠의 영향을 고려하였다. 이러한 과정을 통한 결과는 탄성 표면파의 비선형 파라미터가 인가전압의 크기에 독립적이며, 2차 고조파 성분의 크기는 전파거리에 선형적으로 의존할 것이라는 이론적 예측과 일치한다.

The laser induced forward transfer(LIFT) technique employs a pulsed laser to transfer parts of a thin metal film from an optically transparent target onto an arbitrary substrate in close proximity to the metal film on the target. In this work, a two-step method, the combination of LIFT process, in which a Au film deposited on the $Al_2$O$_3$ substrate by Nd:YAG laser and subsequent Au electroless metal plating on the by LIFT process generated Au seed, was presented. The influence of laser parameters, wavelength, laser power, film thickness and overlap ratio of pulse tracks, on the shapes of deposit and conductor line after electroless plating is experimentally studied. As a results, the threshold power densities for ablation, deposition and metallization were determined and comparison of threshold value between the wave length 1064nm and the second harmonic generated 532nm. In odor to determine a possible application in the electronic industry, a smallest conduct spot size, line width and isolated line space were generated.

This study focused on modeling the behavior of the compressive stress using the average strain and ultrasonic test results in concrete. Feed-forward backpropagation artificial neural network (ANN) models were used to compare four types of concrete mixtures with varying water cement ratio (WC), ordinary concrete (ORC) and concrete with short steel fiber-reinforcement (FRC). Sixteen (16) $150mm{\times}150mm{\times}150mm$ concrete cubes were used; each contained eighteen (18) data sets. Ultrasonic test with pitch-catch configuration was conducted at each loading state to record linear and nonlinear test response with multiple step loads. Statistical Spearman's rank correlation was used to reduce the input parameters. Different types of concrete produced similar top five input parameters that had high correlation to compressive stress: average strain (${\varepsilon}$), fundamental harmonic amplitude (A1), $2^{nd}$ harmonic amplitude (A2), $3^{rd}$ harmonic amplitude (A3), and peak to peak amplitude (PPA). Twenty-eight ANN models were trained, validated and tested. A model was chosen for each WC with the highest Pearson correlation coefficient (R) in testing, and the soundness of the behavior for the input parameters in relation to the compressive stress. The ANN model showed increasing WC produced delayed response to stress at initial stages, abruptly responding after 40%. This was due to the presence of more voids for high water cement ratio that activated Contact Acoustic Nonlinearity (CAN) at the latter stage of the loading path. FRC showed slow response to stress than ORC, indicating the resistance of short steel fiber that delayed stress increase against the loading path.

본 논문에서는 고조파 정합 기법을 이용하여 고효율 GaN HEMT 전력 증폭기를 설계 및 제작하고, 그 특성을 측정하였다. 고효율 특성을 얻기 위해 고조파 로드풀 시뮬레이션을 활용하였다. 즉, 기본 주파수뿐만 아니라 2차, 3차 등의 고조파에서 최적의 부하 임피던스를 찾아내었다. 이러한 고조파 로드풀 시뮬레이션 결과를 바탕으로 출력 정합 회로를 설계하였다. 제작한 전력 증폭기는 중심 주파수 1.85 GHz에서 선형 전력 이득 20 dB 및 33.7 dBm의 $P_{1dB}$(1 dB gain compression point) 특성을 보였다. 그리고, 출력 전력 38.6 dBm에서 80.9 %의 최대 전력 부가 효율(Power Added Efficiency: PAE)을 나타냈으며, 이는 기존에 설계된 고효율 전력 증폭기와 비교했을 때 아주 우수한 효율 특성이다. 또한, W-CDMA 신호입력에 대한 측정 결과, 28.4 dBm의 평균 출력 전력에서 27.8 %의 PAE와 5 MHz offset 주파수에서 -38.8 dBc의 ACLR (Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio)을 보였다. 그리고, 다항식 맞춤 방식의 디지털 전치 왜곡(Digital Predistortion: DPD) 선형화 알고리듬을 구현하여 제작된 전력 증폭기의 ACLR을 6.2 dB 정도 향상시킬 수 있었다.
