Various kinds of winding arrangements can be used to enable fault current limiters (FCL) to tolerate higher forces without resulting in a substantial increase in construction and fabrication costs. In this paper, a distributed winding arrangement is investigated in terms of its effects on the short-circuit forces in a three-phase FCL. The force magnitudes of the AC supplied windings are calculated by employing a finite element-based model in the time stepping procedure. The leakage flux and radial and axial force magnitudes obtained from the simulation are compared to those obtained from a conventional winding arrangement. The comparison shows that the distributed winding arrangement significantly reduces the radial and, especially, the axial force magnitudes.

This paper develops the advanced method for the calculation of the equivalent circuit parameters of induction motor. An Induction motor is magnetically coupled system. But the conventional motor (the permeance method) calculates the each component of parameters separately. And it highly depends on the experimental factors and experiences to compensate the errors due to the some assumptions. Rut the proposed method calculates the parameters fully from the results of 2 dimensional finite element analysis. So the complexity in geometry and the non linearity of induction motor can be considered. And the computational cost is reduced compared with the conventional field and circuit approach. The results are compared with parameters from the permeance method. And it is verified by the comparison with the experimental results.

Induction motor is the most widely used to obtain the driving force in the industrial site. Induction motor is generally applied to the constant speed operation. Induction motor generates a high current at startup. So analysis for both steady state operation and start-up transient is required. In most cases, an equivalent circuit is used for the characteristics analysis of the induction motor. In this study, the two programs are applied to analyze for the rated speed as well as entire speed range. We confirmed that calculation results of the two programs are similar to each other.

In this paper, a novel fault detection method is proposed when the neutral-point-clamped inverter has a open-circuit fault in the switching device. This proposed method is configured with simple circuit and is achieved by a simple algorithm using the inherent characteristic of the continuous Pulse Width Modulation. Also, this method has the fast fault detection ability and is much simpler to embody, in comparison with conventional fault detection methods. This ability to detect fault minimizes harmful effect which are such as DC-link voltage unbalance and overstress to other switching devices. Therefore, this proposed fault detection method can improve reliability of NPC inverter system. Experimental results are presented to verify the validity of proposed fault detection method.

As power systems grow more complex and power demands increase, the fault current tends to gradually increase. In the near future, the fault current will exceed a circuit breaker rating for some substations, which is an especially important issue in the Seoul metropolitan area because of its highly meshed configuration. Currently, the Korean power system is regulated by changing the 154kV system configuration from a loop connection to a radial system, by splitting the bus where load balance can be achieved, and by upgrading the circuit breaker rating. A development project applying 154kV Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) to 154kV transmission systems is proceeding with implementation slated for after 2010. In this paper, SFCL is applied to reduce the fault current in power systems according to two different application schemes and their technical impacts are evaluated. The results indicate that both application schemes can regulate the fault current under the rating of circuit breaker, however, applying SFCL to the bus-tie location is much more appropriate from an economic view point.

This paper describes dynamic characteristics test of distance relay and current differential relay using Real Time Digital Simulator on double circuit transmission line. First, The double circuit T/L modeling on RTDS was proposed and the results from the proposed model were compared with those of PSS/E. This comparison shows the possibility of dynamic test using the RTDS. The relay included about 20 test items which are apt to include maloperation of protective relays in critical situations.

In the paper, the permanent magnet synchronous generator of 1.5[MW] output power which is driven directly without gear system is designed by conventional magnetic equivalent circuit method and analyzed by finite element method. We analyzed the characteristics of generator like no load, rated load, short circuit condition and demagnetization of permanent magnet in order to verify the design results by magnetic circuit method. The last, the analysis results of two kinds of rotor types are compared with each other. Especially the THD(total harmonic distortion) of output voltage is examined for the comparison.

In this paper, a series compensator with a resonant LC circuit and a shunt compensator with the resonant circuit are compared based on the respective rating of its circuit elements. The rating are calculated over a range of compensation and over a range of bus angle. The components ratings are expressed in a per unit values. The results of this study can be easily converted to actual MVA by a simple change in scale. The methodology presented to rate the various components within the system will help to determine the feasibility of various FACTS devices in costs.

This paper describes expandable 4 bit ALU IC using adiabatic and dynamic CMOS circuit technique. It was designed so that the integrated circuit may have the function which is equivalent to HC181 which is CMOS standard logic IC for the comparison, and it was fabricated using a standard 1.2${\mu}$ CMOS process. As the result, the IC has shown that it operates perfectly on all function modes. The power dissipation is 2 order lower than that of HC 181.

In this paper an identification method is presented to obtain the equivalent electric model of a sandwitch type piezoelectric transducer. Unknown parameters related to the equivalent circuit are identified by solving a nonlinear optimization problem which can minimize an error between the experimental and analytical admittances in air. The proposed method is applied to an example transducer. The validity of equivalent circuit model is demonstrated by the comparison between the experimental measurements and analytical calculations of transmitting voltage response(TVR) and receiving voltage response(RVS).
