Since DC has no zero point, an arc occurs when the DC circuit breaker performs a shutdown operation. In this case, a fatal accident may occur in the circuit breaker or in the grid, depending on the magnitude of the arc. Therefore, the shutdown performance and the reliability of the circuit breaker are important in the commercialization of HVDC. In this study, a superconducting LC circuit breaker was proposed to improve the performance and the reliability of the DC circuit breaker. The superconducting LC circuit breaker applied a superconducting coil to the inductor of the existing LC circuit breaker. Other than limiting the initial fault current, it also creates a stable zero point in the event of a fault current. To verify this, simulation was performed through EMTDC/PSCAD. Furthermore, the superconducting LC circuit breaker was compared with the LC circuit breaker with a normal coil. As a result, it was found that the LC circuit breaker with the superconducting coil limited the initial fault current further by approximately 12 kA compared to the LC circuit breaker with a normal coil. This reduced the arc extinguish time by approximately 0.16 sec, thereby decreasing the elctrical power burden on the circuit breaker.

In this paper, we suggest an improved Convex Hull algorithm considering sort in plane point set. This algorithm has low computational complexity since processing data are reduced by characteristic of extreme points. Also it obtains a complete convex set with just one processing using an convex vertex discrimination criterion. Initially it requires sorting of point set. However we can't quickly sort because of its heavy operations. This problem was solved by replacing value and index. We measure the execution time of algorithms by generating a random set of points. The results of the experiment show that it is about 2 times faster than the existing algorithm.

화재감지 및 경보시스템의 설계 목표는 화재발생 초기 단계에서 화재징후를 발견, 피난의 개시를 신속하게 통수하는 것이다. 화재감지기는 다양한 건물 및 환경에 설치되기 때문에 주위 온도 및 가연물의 종류 등 환경적 측면을 심층적으로 고려하지 않으면 적절하게 감지하지 못하는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 즉, 가연물 종류 등을 고려한 설계에 따라 설치된 화재감지기는 화재시 설계치 대로 조기에 화재를 감지하여 화재 예방 및 화재로 인한 피해를 최소화할 수 있는 것이다. 본 논문은 화재시 조기에 화재를 감지기하여 건축물내 인명피난을 목적으로 설치되는 화재감지기의 응답특성을 분석한 연구이다. 화재감지기의 응답특성을 분석하기 위하여 다양한 가연물을 발생시키고 화재감지기 종류별로 설치한 다음 각 화재감지기의 응답특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 정온식 열감지기는 열방출률이 적은 화재를 조기에 감지하는 것에 적합하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 광전식 연기감지기는 회색 계통의 목재류 화재성상에서 응답특성이 떨어졌고, 동일한 공간에서 화원의 수평거리와 동작시간이 비례한다고 볼 수 없었다.

It is very important for power stability to suppress the excessive fault current happened frequently in the real power grid The superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is one of the most effective ways to reduce the fault current among the facilities developed so far. In this paper, we have investigated the operating characteristics of the power grid with the SFCL according to three types such as the single, double and triple line-to-ground faults. In addition, we analyzed the consumption power of the superconducting units based on the working data of the SFCL. We confirmed that the fault current could be limited lower than its peak value to 85 percentage in initial fault condition and to 85 percentage after one cycle in the matrix-type SFCL. The consumption powers of the superconducting units were almost equal by reduction of the difference of the critical current between superconducting units element.

In the case of the flash memory, various kinds of transistors and the wide range of operation voltage are necessary to achieve the read/write operations. Therefore, the characteristics of transistors are measured in the silicon for the circuit design, and the test vehicle run must be processed. In this study, an efficient design flow is suggested using TCAD tools. The test vehicle is replaced with well-calibrated TCAD simulation. First, the calibration methodology is introduced and tested for flash memory device. The calibration errors are less than 5% of a full chip operation, which is accepted by the designers. The results of the calibration were used to predict I-V curves and model parameter of the various transistors for the design of flash device.

The Present study analyzed the pressure-flow characteristics of a Korean shunt valve. Changes in the characteristic currie depending on the design parameters were also investigated. The Korean shunt valve used in the present study was constant pressure type and our analyses were validated through experiments. We applied fluid-structure interaction to solve the flow dynamic Problem because the small diaphragm in the valve was made from flexible silicone elastomers. Considering the material nonlinearity of the hyper-elastic material. the Mooney-Rivlin approximation was employed. The results of the numerical analyses were close to the experimental results The major Pressure drop was observed to happen in the small diaphragm. The slope of the pressure-flow characteristic curve was computed to be 0.37mm$H_2O$.hr/cc, which was similar to the average value of commercial shunt valves. 0.40mm$H_2O$.hr/cc. Therefore. our valves analyzed in the Present study showed a Proper Pressure control characteristics of the constant pressure type shunt valves. The opening pressure could be controlled by adjusting the amount of predeflection of the valve diaphragm. In order to obtain opening pressures of 25mm$H_2O$ and 80mm$H_2O$, respectively, and the required predeflection was found to be 10.2$\mu$m and 35.3$\mu$m. The flow orifice size was found to be within 10$\mu$m during valve operation Therefore, Precision design and manufacturing techniques are necessary for successful operations of the shunt valve. The study indicated the amount of predeflection as well as the magnitude of corner rounding of the diaphragm edge are important design parameters to influence the slope of the pressure-flow characteristic curve.

Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs) are widely used as surge protectors for communication applications due to their small internal capacitance. In these days, however, they are mostly used in combined configurations, because the sparkover voltage required to initiate the discharge process in the GDTs and the time taken for arc formation process can be large enough to damage to sensitive circuits. For GDTs with a considerably high initial residual voltage, we should limit the peak voltage using a TVS or filter. We made a hybrid SPD circuits of common-mode type and differential-mode type with the filter using common-mode choke. Also, we applied lightning impulse voltage and ring wave voltage which frequency bandwidth are different each other and verified the characteristics of hybrid SPD circuits according to waveshapes. We describe how the applied SPDs operate in protection process steps with the actual data obtained from the residual voltage measurement at each step. The experiment results show that the surge voltage reduction with the choke coil is more effective in differential-mode circuit than in common-mode circuit.

Sprinkler installations shall be operated at normal operating temperature of the atmosphere as a fire sprinkler head in any facility to control and extinguish the fire when the fire initially. Recently, however, some flush type quick response automatic sprinkler heads in slow fire place is a problem that can not be normal operation are raised. In this paper, by using the experimental model of the Apartment house of Commons and Cabinet burner size bedrooms fire conditions to form a slow growth rate and can supply more than 0.2 MPa pressure is the minimum pressure that can be applied inside the pipe in the field experiment was conducted. In the majority of experiments lush type quick response automatic sprinkler heads which is used in the country it was confirmed to be incompletely opened as the Cold Soldering occur. This phenomenon is likely to fail early fire suppression and control because they can cause the spread of fire and casualties needed to complement domestic product testing and type approval standards through additional research.
