In this paper, the skewness properties of partial discharge at interface layer in mica-epoxy composite material were investigated and studied on interface specimens which has internal electrodes. As a result, it has been confirmed that the interface exists as abnormal resin layer and the contact condition at the interface is depended upon the density of si lane aqueous solution. The Pulse frequency of discharge at abnormal interface has been shown a linear increasing with enlargement of discharge quantity according to rising of the applied voltage. Whereas, in case of normal interface, pulse frequency represented exponential increasing at the saturating point of discharge quantity. The aging model can be represented from the variable characteristics of skewness.

This paper presents an emergency control algorithms for viability crisis following abnormal condition as well as a sudden major supply outage and line outage. The algorithm considers the effect of voltage-reactive power control for determining the load shedding quantities and generation reallocation. The problem is decomposed into a P-problem and a Q-problem. The former minimizes system frequency deviation from nominal value and the latter minimizes voltages violation of load buses. The optimization problem is solved by a reduced gradient technique which can handle a great number of inequality constraints very efficiently. It has been found that the use of the proposed algorithm for 6-Bus system restore the abnormal system during the viability crisis to the normal state.

Commutation failure can be considered as the severest abnormal operation of thyristor HVDC converter. During the failure, power conversion from DC to AC is stopped until the AC voltage get recovered. The process of thyristor converter is subscribed at normal and abnormal state, respectively. The detection and the protection for Cheju HVDC are explained by computer simulation results.

This paper presents the operation strategy of KEPCO(Korea Electric Power COporation) ${\pm}80kV$ 60MW Bipole HVDC system that will be applied between Guemak C/S(converter station) and Hanlim C/S in Jeju island. Unlike intertie HVDC system, this system is located in AC power grid inside. Therefore, the enhancement of system security related with line flow and bus voltages can be major operation strategy. In this paper, in particular, the optimal operation algorithm in the abnormal(not steady state) power system is presented and simulated.

Diesel generator of nuclear power plant has a role for supply of emergency electric power to protect reactor core system in event of loss of off-site power supply. Therefore diesel generator should be tested periodically to verify the function that can supply specified frequency and voltage at design power level within limited time. For this purpose, appropriate maintenances in case that abnormal conditions were found are required in allowed time. In this paper, results of development of engine condition diagnosis technology and study on power plant of its technology for diesel generator are described.

CRUD specimens, scraped from twice-burned fuel cladding in the Korean Nuclear Power Plant, were analyzed using Shielded-EPMA. The principal elements of the CRUD were identified as Ni and Fe, at an approximate ratio of 1.3 Ni/Fe. To investigate the morphology and composition of the pure metallic materials in the CRUD, coolant impurities must be removed. This can be accomplished by increasing the EPMA current to an abnormally high intensity until the impurities are melted. Normally, EPMA applications are performed at conditions of 20 kV voltage and 20 nA current. But in our study, the applied current was increased up to 1200 nA, over time increments ranging from 5 to 30 seconds. This technique was performed by opening an adjustable aperture for the gun alignment. Results showed impurities contained in the CRUD material disappeared and pure metal materials, e.g., Ni and Fe, remained. This method presents an innovative way to analyze CRUD.

The hybrid cascaded multilevel inverter (HCMLI) is a popular converter topology that is being increasingly used in high power medium voltage drives. The intricacy of the control technique for a HCMLI increases with the number of levels and due to fluctuating dc voltages. This paper presents a novel offline quadrant search based space vector modulation technique to synthesize a sinusoidal output from a dispersed pattern of voltage vectors due to different voltages in the auxiliary unit. Such an investigation has never been reported in the literature and it is being attempted for the first time. The method suggested distributes the voltage vectors for a reduced total harmonic distortion at minimal computation. In addition, the proposed algorithm determines the maximum modulation index in the linear modulation range in order to synthesize a sinusoidal output for both normal and abnormal vector patterns. It is better suited for a wide range of practical applications. It is particularly well suited for renewable source fed inverters which utilize large capacitor banks to maintain the dc link, which are prone to such slow fluctuations. The proposed quadrant search space vector modulation technique is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK and implemented using a Nexys-2 Spartan-3E FPGA for a developed prototype.

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 this paper, this paper discusses how to improve the power control system of cold and hot water purifiers, in particular, system protecting device against abnormal voltage. The existing power supply control system came with a protecting device composed of varistor device only for impulse-type surges. Even though the existing system senses surge other than impulse-type, the system can not be protected. Accordingly, a new type of power control system was designed to protect the system from surge and ultimately prevent electricity accidents. The power control system suggested in this paper will be designed to protect the system by sensing input voltage and discontinuing power supply by means of SSR if voltage exceeding set value is sensed. To test the designed system, surge was imposed on the existing system and processes of system failure were experimented before safety of the designed power control system was simulated via P-spice program developed by Orcad in order to examine safety and reliability of the system.

Purpose: This study analyzes the operating characteristics of a lithium ion capacitor that can be used as a standby power supply in an emergency, and determines whether the standby power supply is abnormal even by measuring the voltage using a linear proportionality characteristic during charging and discharging. The aim is to provide an experimental basis that can be done. Method: As a method for this study, first, analyze the operation principle and characteristics of the existing backup power supply and lithium ion capacitor, and then measure the voltage of the lithium ion capacitor according to the configuration and system block diagram of the induction lamp used in the experiment. We proceed with the test of the measured value of discharge power for each voltage band to check the amount of power held by the battery and the operation test experiment using induction lamps. Results: Just by checking the charging voltage using the linear proportional characteristics of lithium ion capacitors, it provides a basis for accurately inferring the effective operating time of induction lamp lamps. Conclusion: In the event of a disaster, the lithium ion capacitor is used as a spare power supply for emergency induction lamps to prevent complete discharge of emergency induction lamps, to prevent the problem of performing normal operation of the standby power supply, and to use only a simple voltage measurement to reserve power. It was intended to suggest many uses for evacuation equipment application in the future by making it possible to check whether the device is abnormal.
