This paper is a study on the computer simulation of the characteristics of the superconducting fault current limiter. Input variable parameters are apparent power, load resistance value, line resistance value and so on. Initial fault current 2 times larger than the trigger current is required to reduce the switching time of SFCL. The propagation velocity increases abruptly, the transport current is several times larger than the ciritical current. In this paper, the switching time is calculated to be 323$\mu$ sec, and the initial fault current is 19 times larger than the critical current. Because the trigger coils are bifilar winding, they have little impedance in superconducting state. After fault occurred, the limiting coil acts as a superconducting reactor and the trigger coils quench at a critical current. Without the SFCL in the circuit, fault current after the load impedence is shorted might be increased to 1100A. The fault current is, therefore, successfully limited by the superconducting limiting coil to 100A determined by the coil inductance.

A DC railway system has low feeder voltage, The remote fault current can be smaller than the current of load starting. So it is important to discriminate between the small fault current and the train starting current. The train starting current increases step by step but the fault current increases all at once. So the type of $\bigtriangleup I\;relay(50F)$ was developed using the different characteristics between the load starting current and the fault current. As for the train starting current, the time constant of train current at each step is much smaller than that of the fault current. To detect faults in U railway systems, an algorithm that is independent of train starting current. This algorithm use the time constant calculated by the method of least squares is presented in this paper.

본 논문에서는 온도 및 공정 보상 전류 미러(temperature and process compensation current mirror: TPC-CM)를 이용한 정밀 전류 레퍼런스를 제안하였다. 온도 변화에 영향을 받지 않는 기준 전류는 절대 온도에 비례하여 증가하는 PTAT (proportional to absolute temperature) 전류와 온도에 반비례하여 감소하는 CTAT(complementary to absolute temperature) 전류의 합으로 생성된다. 그러나 온도 계수(temperature coefficient)와 기준 전류의 크기는 공정 변화에 크게 영향을 받는다. 이런 공정 변화를 보정하기 위하여, 제안된 TPC-CM에서는 온도 계수와 기준 전류의 크기를 조절하는 두 개의 이진 가중치 전류 미러(binary weighted current mirror)를 이용하였다. 제작된 각 칩마다 PTAT 전류와 CTAT 전류를 측정한 후, 기준 전류의 크기가 온도에 상관없이 일정하도록, TPC-CM의 스위치 코드를 결정하고 그 값을 비휘발성 메모리에 저장한다. 시뮬레이션에서 TPC-CM는 공정변화 영향을 19.7%에 서 0.52%로 줄였다. 제안된 전류 레퍼런스는 3.3V 0.35um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 제작되었으며, 측정된 칩의 기준 전류 변화율은 $20^{\circ}$C${\sim}$100$^{\circ}$C에서 0.42%였다.

다양한 무선통신 방식이 출현함에 따라 배터리 수명과, 저전력 동작이 중요시되면서 무선 통신용 LSI는 SI circuit을 이용하는 analog current-mode signal processing을 주목하고 있다. 그러나 SI (Switched-Current) circuit을 구성하는 current memory는 clock-feedthrough의 문제점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 current memory의 문제점인 clock-feedthrough의 일반적인 해결방안으로 CMOS switch의 연결을 검토하고, current memory 성능 개선의 설계방안을 제안하기 위하여 CMOS switch 간의 width의 관계를 도출하고자 한다. Simulation 결과, memory MOS의 width가 20um, input current와 bias current의 ratio가 0.3, CMOS switch nMOS의 width가 2~6um일 경우에 CMOS switch 간의 width는 $W_{Mp}=5.62W_{Mn}+1.6$의 관계로 정의되고, CMOS switch nMOS의 width가 6~10um일 경우에 CMOS switch 간의 width는 $W_{Mp}=2.05W_{Mn}+23$의 관계로 정의되는 것을 확인하였다. 이 때 정의된 MOS transistor의 관계는 memory MOS의 성능향상을 위한 설계에 유용한 지침이 될 것으로 기대된다.

This paper proposes a modified current differential relay for transformer protection unaffected by the remanent flux. The relay uses the same restraining current as a conventional relay, but the differential current is modified to compensate for the effects of the exciting current. To cope with the remanent flux, before saturation, the relay calculates the core-loss current and uses it to modify the measured differential current. When the core then enters saturation, the initial value of the flux is obtained by inserting the modified differential current at the start of saturation into the magnetization cure. Thereafter, the actual core flux is then derived and used in conjunction with the magnetization curve to calculate the magnetizing current. A modified differential current is then derived that compensates for the core-loss and magnetizing currents. The performance of the proposed differential relay was compared against a conventional differential relay. Results indicate that the modified relay remained stable during severe magnetic inrush and over-excitation because the exciting current was successfully compensated. This paper concludes by implementing the relay on a hardware platform based on a digital signal processor. The relay discriminates magnetic inrush and over-excitation from an internal fault and is not affected by the level of remanent flux.

The whole-cell mode of the patch clamp technique was used to study $Ca^{2+}-activated\;Cl^-\;current$ $(I_{Cl_{Ca}})$ in gastric antral myocytes. Extracellular application of caffeine evoked $Ca^{2+}-activated\;current$. In order to isolate the chloride current from background current, all known systems were blocked with specific blockers. The current-voltage relationship of caffeine-induced current showed outward rectification and it reversed at around $E_{Cl^-}$. The shift of reversal potential upon the alteration of external and internal chloride concentrations was well fitted with results which were calculated by the Nernst equation. Extracellular addition of N-phenylanthranilic acid and niflumic acid which are known anion channel blockers abolished the caffeine induced current. Intracellular application of a high concentration of EGTA also abolished this current. Application of c-AMP, c-GMP, heparin, or $AIF^-_4$ made no remarkable changes to this current. Sodium replacement with the impermeable cation N-methylglucamine or with $Cd^{2+}$ rarely affected this current. From the above results it is suggested that the caffeine induced current was a $Cl^-$ current and it was activated by intracellular $Ca^{2+}$.

A nearshore current or a wave-induced current is an important phenomenon in a nearshore zone, which is composed of longshore, cross-shore, and rip currents. The nearshore current is closely related to the occurrence of coastal accidents by beachgoers. A considerable number of coastal accidents by beachgoers involving the rip current have been reported at Jungmun Beach. However, in studies and observations of the nearshore current of Jungmun Beach, understanding of the rip current pattern remains unclear. In this study, a scientific approach is taken to understand the nearshore current and the rip current patterns at Jungmun Beach by numerical computation for year of 2015. From results of numerical computation, the occurrence and spatial characteristics of the rip current, and the similarities between the rip current and incident wave conditions are analyzed. The primary results of this study reveal that the rip currents are frequently generated at Jungmun Beach, especially in the western parts of the beach, and that the rip currents often occur with a wave breaking height of around 0.5 ~ 0.7 m, a wave period of around 6 ~ 8 seconds, and a breaking angle of around 0 ~ 15 degrees.

The resistive superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) are very attractive devices for the electric power network. But they have some serious problems when the YBCO thin films were used for the current limiting materials due to the in homogeneities caused by manufacturing process. When the YBCO films have some inhomogeneities, simultaneous quenches are difficult to achieve when the fault current limiting units are connected in series for increasing operating voltage ratings. Magnetic field application is one of the prospective way of inducing simultaneous quenches far the series-connected resistive FCL components. Magnetic field was typically generated by the fault current thorough a coil, which is connected to components of the fault current limiter in series, leaving the problem, which provides significant inductance to the power line and suppresses critical current density of the superconducting components. In this article we investigated the possible application of the protective current transformer (p-CT), which is available current source to the magnetic coil. This system inductively coupled to the circuit, therefore, remarkably reducing impedance to the circuit. The current by the protective current transformer was directly fed to the coil, generating magnetic field large enough to reduce critical current density of the components. This successfully induced simultaneous quenches of the series-connected resistive FCL components.

The stability of PWM rectifiers with a deadbeat current controller is seriously influenced by computation time delays and low-pass filters inserted into the current-sampling circuit. Predictive current control is often adopted to solve this problem. However, grid current predictive precision is affected by many factors such as grid voltage estimated errors, plant model mismatches, dead time and so on. In addition, the predictive current error aggravates the grid current distortion. To improve the grid current predictive precision, an improved deadbeat current controller with a repetitive-control-based observer to predict the grid current is proposed in this paper. The design principle of the proposed observer is given and its stability is discussed. The predictive performance of the observer is also analyzed in the frequency domain. It is shown that the grid predictive error can be decreased with the proposed method in the related bode diagrams. Experimental results show that the proposed method can minimize the current predictive error, improve the current loop robustness and reduce the grid current THD of PWM rectifiers.
