Recently, the failures of electrical equipment have been reduced due to the improvement of its quality and the advance of operation techniques but the failure rates caused by natural disasters such as wind and lightning have been increased. To reduce the failures due to lightning, it is necessary for insulation design of transmission lines to be done, effectively. Also the analysis on the lightning characteristics is essential to the effective insulation design. In this paper, we describe lightning distribution, multiplicity, IKL(Iso-Keraunic Level) and amplitude distribution of lightning current base on the lightning data by KLDNet.

The aim of the present study is to find out the effect of cooling rate on the electrical behavior of ZnO varistors. The microstructure, 1-V characteristics and complex impedance spectra were investigated under the change of cooling rates. It is found that at cooling rate $200^{\circ}$/h, nonlinearity and breakdown voltage reached a maximum value which may show that good intergranular layer is formed as a results of proper cooling rate. Complex Impedance spectras were measured as a function of frequency range 100Hz to 13MHz to determine grain and grainboundary resistance. The semicircles were attributed to the dependence of grain and grainboundary resistance on cooling rates.

In this paper, a high voltage current sensing circuit for boost converter is designed and verified by Cadence SPECTRE simulations. The current mirror pair, power and sensing metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) with size ratio of K, is used in our on-chip current sensing circuit. Very low drain voltages of the current mirror pair should be matched to give accurate current sensing, so a folded-cascode opamp with a PMOS input pair is used in our design. A high voltage high side lateral-diffused MOS transistor (LDMOST) switch is used between the current sensing circuit and power MOSFET to protect the current sensing circuit from the high output voltage. Simulation results using 0.35 ${\mu}m$ BCD process show that current sensing is accurate and the pulse frequency modulation (PFM) boost converter using the proposed current sensing circuit satisfies with the specifications.

한국전력은 765kV 송전선(2,000A/single phase)에 ball sensor를 설치할 계획이다. 우리의 이전연구에서는 다중 Mu-metal 케이스를 설치한 후 여러 조건하에서 센서의 정상동작여부와 차폐효율을 연구하였다. 이번연구에서는 Mu-metal 케이스의 겹 수와 형상에 따른 차폐효율을 연구할 것이다. 차폐효율은 전류가 커짐에 따라 감소하는 것을 보이며, Mu-metal 케이스의 자속경로가 길어짐에 따라 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. Ball sensor의 형상에 따른 차이를 고찰하기 위하여 실제 실험 전에 실제 실험과 동일한 조건으로 시뮬레이션툴을 사용하여 모의 하였으며 그에 따른 실험을 수행하였다. 이런 방식으로 실제 실험 전에 관련 실험의 결과를 예측 가능하였다. 이러한 일련의 과정을 통해 이상적인 Mu-metal 케이스의 형상과 겹 수를 찾을 수 있었다.

배전계통 상태추정이란 배전계통을 운영하고 제어하기 위하여 모선전압, 선로조류, 모선부하와 같은 상태변수들의 측정된 값을 이용하여 여러가지 운영에 필요한 정보를 활용하고 배전계통으로부터 측정치에 기초하여 미지의 상태변수들을 추정하는 것이다. 변전소 제어센터에 있는 SCADA 시스템은 실시간으로 배전계통을 모니터링하고 제어하기 위하여 전력계통을 주기적으로 스캔하고 엄청난 양의 데이터를 획득하여 처리한다. 이들 측정값들은 유효전력, 무효전력, 전압, 전류, 스위치나 차단기의 상태들이다. 이들 데이터들은 중앙전력계통 제어센터나 지역제어센터로부터 산발되어 있는 정보를 대부분 RTU를 통하여 획득하게 된다. 이러한 이유로 배전계통의 상태추정은 송전계통과는 달리 배전계통 자체가 토폴로지상으로 산발되어 있을 뿐만 아니라 대규모이기 때문에 분산형으로 구성하여 처리하는 알고리즘을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 배전계통에 대한 분산형 상태추정기의 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다.

REcent research about current testing($\textrm{I}_{DDQ}$ testing) has been emphasizing that $\textrm{I}_{DDQ}$ testing in addition to the logical voltage testing is necessary to increase the fault coverage. The $\textrm{I}_{DDQ}$. testing can detect physical faults other than the classical stuck-at type fault, which affect reliability. One of the most critical issues in the $\textrm{I}_{DDQ}$ testing is to insert a built-in current sensor (BICS) that can detect abnormal static currents from the power supply or to the ground. This paper presents a new BICS for internal current testing for large CMOS logic circuits. The proposed BICS uses a single phase clock to minimize the hardware overhead. It detects faulty current flowing and converts it into a corresponding logic voltage level to make converts it into a corresponding logic voltage level to make it possible to use the conventional voltage testing techniqeus. By using current mirroring technique, the proposed BICS can work at very high speed. Because the proposed BICS almost does not affects normal operation of CUT(circuit under test), it can be used to a very large circuit without circuit partitioning. By altenating the operational modes, a circuit can be $\textrm{I}_{DDQ}$-tested as a kind of self-testing fashion by using the proposed BICS.

In the embedded system, EPROM is difficult to replace a mask ROM for the applications using battery, because the low voltage characteristic of an EPROM is inferior to that of a mask ROM. In this paper, the new circuits such as a word line voltage hoosier scheme and a sense amplifier without reference input for an embedded EPROM in MCU are proposed. The circuits can detect bit line voltage a predetermined level, which is caused by the degradation of the battery. We fabricated a MCU embedded 32Kbytes EPROM. The proposed circuits well operated at 1.5V supply voltage and thus the low voltage performance was improved by about 30%.

This paper presents the development of an electrical fire detection system using digital temperature and current detectors in order to sound for electrical fire in advance. As the demand for electricity is increasing and industrial facilities are getting more complex and larger in size, the losses of human life and property are on the increase by electrical fires. In order to prevent electrical fires, it is required to find out fire signatures, or electric signal of the overcurrent and overheating. Therefore, in this paper, developed is an electrical fire detection system based on the detection of signal for overcurrent and overheating to prevent electrical accidents in advance that happen in electrical wires. The developed system gives an alarm by computer monitor, speaker system and mobile phone before electrical fires occur and give severe damages to human beings and properties, and the system can be implemented and supplied for business and residental buildings at a low price. The usefulness and validity of the system, also, verified in this paper by case study and experiments.
