변압기의 고체 절연이 열화 되거나 불순물 및 수분이 혼입되어 임계치 이상의 고전계가 인가되면 결합부분에서 부분방전이 발생한다. 현재 변압기에서 부분방전을 검출하기 위해서는 부싱탭을 이용하거나 전류센서, 초음파센서 등을 이용하여 부분방전을 검출하고 있지만 전기적인 부싱탭이나 전류센서를 이용한 검출 방법은 주변 잡음의 영향을 많이 받고 초음파법은 감도가 낮다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이에, UHF 방식을 이용한 부분방전 검출 기술이 전력기기의 초기 고장진단을 발견하는 효과적인 방법으로 인식되고 있다. 최근에는 이러한 UHF 진단방식의 높은 감도, 외부노이즈에 대한 적은 영향, 온라인 측정의 가능성의 장점으로 전력용 변압기에도 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전력 변압기에서 PD 진단에 적합한 UHF 센서의 개발에 대해서 소개한다. 제안된 UHF 센서는 광대역(500 ~ 1,500MHz)에서 측정이 가능하며 감도가 우수하며 특정 대역에서 공진점을 가지는 다중 공진 모노폴 안테나 타입이다. 안테나 시뮬레이션 및 해석을 통해 유중 부분방전을 모의하여 감도 측정을 실시한 결과 제안된 UHF 센서가 전력용 변압기의 부분방전 측정에서 높은 감도를 나타냈으며, 기존 측정 방식의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 방안으로서 전자파를 이용한 부분방전 측정에 대한 기초연구를 실시하여 변압기 운전중에 전자파 측정에 의한 부분방전 감시가 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

부분방전시험은 고전압 고정자 권선의 절연상태를 검사, 평가 할 수 있는 중요한 수단이다. 전동기와 발전기에서 일어나는 절연 악화의 징후로써 부분방전이 발생되며 이러한 부분방전 신호를 검출하기 위한 센서로 SSC(Stator Slot Couple)를 사용한다. 하지만 현재 사용되고 있는 대부분의 SSC의 경우 설계에 있어 특성 임피던스가 실제구조에서 정확히 고려되지 않는 경향이 있다. 실제로 고정자 슬롯에 부착된 마이크로스트립 센서의 특성 임피던스는 정확히 50옴으로 정합 되지 않으며 이것은 센서의 성능에 중요한 영향을 미치게 된다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 부분방전 센서의 성능을 개선시키기 위해 결합 전송선로(Coupled transmission line)를 이용한 임피던스 정합회로를 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 센서의 성능을 입증하기 위하여 고정자 슬롯에 설치된 기존의 SSC와 임피던스 정합회로를 부착한 센서를 시뮬레이션 한 후 비교 분석하였다. 결과적으로 제안된 정합 회로는 광대역 임피던스 정합 특성을 가지며 임피던스 부정합때문에 일어나는 기존 SSC의 성능 악화를 개선할 수 있었다.

We suggested a microwave sensor structure and fabricated experimentally to detect particular particles in the air which are difficult to detect using conventional UWB sensors because their reaction frequencies to electromagnetic waves are too high. In the experiment to detect water particles in the air with up-conversion frequency of 10GHz, we verified detect signal amplitude variation of 75% depending on presence or absence of water particles. The suggested structure can be useful to detect particular materials at the high frequencies more than a few 10th GHz, because the same method can be applied to detect other materials.

In this paper, we have proposed and experimentally demonstrated an intensity-based self-referencing fiber optic sensor. The proposed fiber optic sensor consists of a broadband light source (BLS), fiber Bragg grating (FBG), tunable Fabry-Perot (F-P) filter, and LabVIEW program. We define the measurement parameter (X) and the calibration parameter (${\beta}$) to determine the transfer function(H) of the self-referencing fiber optic sensor, and the validity of the theoretical analysis is confirmed by experiments. The self-referencing characteristic for the proposed system has been validated by showing that the measurement parameter (X) is invariant for BLS optical power attenuations of 0 dB, 3 dB, and 6 dB. Also, the measured result is irrelevant to the FBGs with different characteristics. This means that the proposed fiber optic sensor offers the flexibility for determining the FBGs needed for implementation. Experimental results for the proposed fiber optic sensor are in good agreement with a theoretical analysis for BLS optical power attenuations and for three FBG pairs with different characteristics. So, the proposed fiber optic sensor has several benefits, including the self-referencing characteristic and the flexibility to determine the FBGs.

In the case of designing an acoustic transducer for high power application, we usually aim to transfer the source electric energy to the output acoustic energy as large as possible. For this purpose, we should match the impedance of the power amplifier to the impedance combined with the acoustic transducer impedance and the radiation impedance. Especially if we have electrical source with almost zero impedance, we need improve the power factor of the acoustic transducer in the load. In this paper, we propose a broad band impedance matching method by the improvement of power factor, which applies ABCD matrix.

Due to explosive increase of internet usage, broadband data transmission using optical fibers is broadly used. In order to decrease distortion during long distance transmission, the optical signal need to be restored, typically, by converting the optical signal into the electrical signal. The optical signal is converted into the electrical signal using a photo-diode, and then a clock-and-recovery (CDR) circuit is used to recover the clock and retime the data. In this study, a clock-and-data recovery circuit has been designed using a standard 1.8 V $0.18\;{\mu}m$ CMOS process. With this CDR circuit, the improved phase detector and charge pump have been utilized. Also, by using a ring oscillator, the CDR circuit can recover clock and data from broadband multi-rate data ranging between 750 Mb/s and 2.85 Gb/s.

In this paper, a fire prevention system based on a broadband powerline communication (PLC) system is implemented and a demonstration experiment is carried out to prevent from or promptly dealing with possible fires within the nacelle of a wind turbine generator system (WTGS). For this purpose, an inductive coupler having satisfactory attenuation characteristic in the frequency region for high-speed PLC is also manufactured. It is confirmed that the implemented system can monitor the environmental change inside the nacelle in real time by transmitting various information obtained by the sensors such as temperature, flame, and smoke sensor installed in the nacelle and thermal image recorded by a thermal camera to the ground control center through the PLC system. Therefore, it is, considered that the implemented system will significantly improve the reliability of the fire monitoring and prevention system of the WTGS in conjunction with the existing safety system.

This paper deals with the planar-type sensor which can measure the time-varying electric fields. To make an electric field measurement system having a wide bandwidth, a planar-type sensor is proposed. The theoretical principle and design rule of the measuring device are introduced, and also the calibration and application investigations are carried out. From the calibration experiments, the frequency bandwidth of the electric field measurement device ranges from 160 [Hz] to 25 [MHz] and the sensitivity of the sensor is 1.2 [mV/V/m]. As the application experiments, the electric fields caused by the impulse and oscillating transient voltage in high voltage laboratory are measured by the proposed device, and the results are excellent.

In this paper, measurement of hydrogen gas using three kinds of gas sensors were studied for improving selectivity and quantification on hydrogen gas. Output characteristics for each sensors were analyzed to some concentrations of hydrogen gas. It was illustrated that the wide range of hydrogen gas concentrations upto 10,000[ppm] can be reliably measured from investigation of concentration ranges with high amplitudes and good resolutions. Also, the combinations of outputs from three kinds sensors were able to improve the selectivity of hydrogen gas.
