This paper presents a method for evaluating interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) performance over the entire operation region. Using a d-q axis equivalent circuit model consisting of motor parameters such as the permanent magnetic flux, copper resistance, core loss resistance, and d-q axis inductance, a conventional mathematical model of an IPMSM has been developed. It is well understood that in IPMSMs, magnetic operating conditions cause cross saturation and that the iron loss resistance - upon which core losses depend - changes according to the motor speed; for the sake of convenience, however, d-q axis machine models usually neglect the influence of magnetic cross saturation and assume that the iron loss resistance is constant. This paper proposes an analysis method based on considering a magnetic cross saturation and estimating a core loss resistance that changes with the operating conditions and speed. The proposed method is then verified by means of a comparison between the computed and the experimental results.

The iron core, which comprises the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using magnetic coupling of coils, can be operated in the saturation region, especially at the initial fault period. This operation of the iron core in the saturation region deteriorates the fault current limiting operation of the SFCL. To solve the saturation problem of the SFCL using magnetic coupling of coils, the iron core with two magnetic paths, which has an air-gap in one of them, was adopted. In this paper, the hysteresis characteristics of SFCL using magnetic coupling of coils, which were wound in the iron core with two magnetic paths, were analyzed. Through comparative analysis on the hysteresis characteristics of the iron core comprising SFCL, the hysteresis characteristics of the iron core with two magnetic paths were confirmed to be kept in the non-saturation region during the fault period and thus, the effective fault current limiting operation of the SFCL using the magnetic coupling of coils could be performed.

This paper presents a study on the design parameters that consider the magnetic saturation effect in a rotor core of a synchronous reluctance motor. Two important design parameters in a rotor are selected to analyze the saturation effect of a synchronous reluctance motor, particularly in a rotor core. The thickness of the main segment, which is the main path of the d-axis flux, and the end rip, which affects the q-axis flux, are analyzed using the d-axis and q-axis inductances. Moreover, the characteristics of torque and torque ripple when magnetic saturation takes place are analyzed. The saturation effect is verified by comparing the reluctance torque between the experiment and FEM simulation.

We investigated the characteristics of a flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) considering magnetization characteristic of iron core. The flux-lock type SFCL, like other types of SFCLs using the iron core, undergoes the saturation of the iron core during the initial fault time. Therefore, if the design to prevent the saturation of the iron core is considered, the effective fault current limiting operation can be achieved. Through the analysis for its equivalent circuit including the magnetization characteristic of the iron core, the limiting impedance of the flux-lock type SFCL was drawn. The magnetization currents and the limited currents of SFCL, which were dependent on the winding direction and the turns' ratio between two coils, were investigated from the short circuit experiment. It was confirmed that their experimental results agreed with the analysis ones.

이 논문은 퇴적물내 포함되어 있는 가스하이드레이트의 포화도를 계산하는 여러 방법에 대하여 토론하고자 한다. 가스하이드레이트의 포화도를 계산하는 방법은 물리검층 자료를 이용하는 방법과 코어자료(압력코어 포함)를 이용하는 방법, 그리고 탄성파 탐사자료로부터 얻을 수 있는 속도 자료를 이용하는 방법 등 크게 세가지 방법으로 나눌 수 있다. 물리검층 자료중 전기비저항 자료를 이용하는 방법의 경우 Archie 식을 주로 이용하는데 이 경우 각각의 변수 값을 정확하게 정의하는 게 중요하다. 또한 가스하이드레이트의 산출형태도 포화도 계산에 큰 영향을 주기 때문에 주의해야 한다. 코어자료를 이용하는 경우 공극수의 염소량을 측정하는 방법과 압력코어를 취득할 경우 이를 이용하는 방법이 있다. 지금까지 발표된 정량적이고 가장 정확한 가스하이드레이트 포화도값을 구할 수 있는 방법이 압력코어를 이용하는 것이다. 그러나 이는 비용과 시간이 많이 소요되기 때문에 연속적인 자료를 얻기가 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 지금까지 발표된 가스하이드레이트 포화도 값을 비교해 보면 전기비저항 값을 이용한 경우가 가장 높은 값을 압력코어를 이용하여 측정한 경우가 가장 낮은 값을 보여주는 경향이 있다. 그러나 이러한 값이 모든 경우에 있어서 절대적인 경향을 보여준다고 볼 수는 없다. 그러므로 가스하이드레이트의 포화도를 정확하게 계산하기 위해서는 여러 가지 방법을 이용하여 계산해야 하며 이를 비교하여 가장 적절한 값을 사용해야 할 것이다.

For the design to prevent the saturation of the iron core and the effective fault current limitation, the analysis for the operation of the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) with consideration for the hysteresis characteristics of the iron core is required. In this paper, the hysteresis characteristics of the flux-lock reactor, which is an essential component of the flux-lock type SFCL, were investigated. Under normal condition, the hysteresis loss of the iron core in the flux-lock type SFCL does not happen due to its winding structure. From the equivalent circuit for the flux-lock type SFCL and the fault current limiting experiments, the hysteresis curves could be drawn. From the analysis for both the hysteresis curves and the fault current limiting characteristics due to the number of turns for the 1st and 2nd windings, the increase of the number of turns in the 2nd winding of the flux-lock type SFCL had a role to prevent the iron core from saturation.

The current sensor is used in industrial devices and power utilities. Core materials of these current sensors are divided into mainly two groups as silicon steel and fermalloy. Silicon steel has a wide saturation bandwidth but low sensitivity during low-current, whereas permalloy has a short saturation bandwidth but high sensitivity during low-current. In this paper, laminated silicon steel and permalloy by equal ratio is proposed to improve the linearity and saturation of current sensor. It is proved that the proposed core material has larger bandwidth than fermalloy as well as higher sensitivity than silicon steel. When comparing simulation results by FLUX 3D, the proposed method has also better performance than the previous core materials.

This paper describes a busbar current differential relay in conjunction with a current transformer(CT) compensating algorithm irrespective of the level of the remanent flux. The compensating algorithm detects the start of first saturation if the third-difference function of the current exceeds the threshold; it estimates the core flux at the first saturation start by inserting the negative value of the third-difference function of the current into the magnetization curve; thereafter, it calculates the core flux during the fault and compensates the distorted current using the magnetization curve. The algorithm estimates the correct secondary current irrespective of the level of the remanent flux and needs no saturation point of the magnetization curve. The proposed relay can improve not only security of the relay on an external fault with CT saturation but sensitivity of the relay on an internal fault; the relay can improve the operating speed on n internal fault with CT saturation. This paper concludes by implementing the relay into a digital signal processor based prototype relay.

In designing the autotransformer type superconducting fault-current limiter (SFCL), one must consider that the iron core can be saturated for the SFCL to have effective fault-current limiting operation. In this paper, to examine the saturation of the iron core comprising SFCL during the fault period, the linkage flux and the magnetizing current of the SFCL were derived from the electrical equivalent circuit with the nonlinear exciting branch. By analysis on the linkage flux versus the magnetizing current of the autotransformer type SFCL, calculated from the short-circuit tests, the design condition for the suppression of the iron core's saturation was discussed.
