An electric fan for cooling high density electronic devices is limited and operated in very low efficiency. The corona discharge is utilized as the driving mechanism for an ionic gas pump, which allows for air flow control and generation with low noise and no moving parts. These ideal characteristics of ionic pump give rise to variety applications. However, all of these applications would benefit from maximizing the flow velocities and yields of the ionic pump. In this study, a needle-mesh type ionic pump has been investigated by focusing on the radius of curvature of corona needle points elevating the ionic wind velocity and efficiency. It is found that the radius of curvature of the corona discharge needle point influences significantly to produce the ionic wind and efficiency. As a result, an elevated ionic wind velocity and increased ionic wind generation yield can be obtained by optimized the radius of curvature of the corona needle electrode.

The occurrence of a corona is that electrical discharge due to the heterogeneity that occurs when an electrical field is concentrated in an electrode due to a cusp formed on said electrode. Wire treatment at the end of a 154kV dead end clamp for end users accelerates the occurrence of corona, which in turn leads to power loss and noise. In this study, the characteristics of the corona which occurs between porcelain insulators and support clamps of overhead lines used in l54kV power receiving facilities for end users were investigated. The corona, which cannot be identified by one common method, was measured utilizing a UV image camera. A risk assessment for fire damage and its status was suggested. The stress distribution of the electrical field by length of bare wire was suggested by means of the finite element method (FEMLAB). As a result, it was found to affect a porcelain insulators. These results can be utilized for the enhancement of clamp installation and safety in power facilities.

To develop the EHV transmission technology, the electrical environment problems such as Audible Noise etc. have been studied by the use of Corona Cage with artifical water spray equipment. However, this study has difficulties in simulating the amount of natural conditions. Therefore, We will plan to install full scale EHV test line to prove the measuring values of Corona Noise, and to selection of Conductors, Insulators, and to economical design, construction data.

The electric power can be converted into the mechanical power by a corona discharge system. This way has not stronger force than a electric motor. But it has been applied in various industrial fields because of many advantages, no moving parts, smaller noise, simpler structure, minimizing et al. In this paper, corona discharge system with multiple corona electrode installed in form of the ring, has been studied by focusing on the electrical and mechanical characteristics. Intensity of the corona discharge depends on applied electric field, and electric field is related to the applied voltage, discharge gap spacing(s), distance between each corona electrodes(d). As a result, in the case d/s=0.9, most intensive discharge occurred in this experiments. In the region of d/s<0.9, ionic wind velocity has saturation value in spite of decreasing corona current, because each ion velocities increase by the increasing electric field.

An episode of corona is a heterogeneity-caused electric discharge that occurs when electric fields are formed layer on layer and concentrated on an electrode. Electric wires built at the tip of 154kV private facilities use dead end clamp spawns corona from homogeneity caused by field concentration. Corona induces power loss, noise, insulator failure and more. In this research, we've studied the characteristics of coronas that take place in porcelain insulators and terminal electric wires of supporting hard wares (dead end clamp) that are set up as spares in the 154kV private facilities use hydroelectricity installations to support electric wires. Corona, which cannot be identified by regular methods, was measured utilizing UV image camera. As the result of measuring corona via UV image camera, we've confirmed that the depletion of insulators was accelerated following the wire end treatment method and validated the stress intensity of insulators at various lengths of bare wires caused by electric fields via FEMLAB. We have also proposed a new model for relieving homogeneity-caused field concentration, and after analyzing the proposed model via FEMLAB, we've confirmed that the concentration of field distribution was indeed reduced. Such results are exploited in installation of private facilities use equipments, maintenance of insulators and hard wares as well as safety enhancement, and are anticipated to be effectively utilized in corona prevention measures.

When a strong electric field is applied between a sharply curved electrode and a blunt surface, the corona may result in a gas movement in the electrode gap which is directed toward the blunt surface. That is called the corona wind. It enhances heat and mass transfer between the surface and the surrounding gas. Moreover such enhancement causes no noise or vibration, which can be applied in complex, isolated geometries, and allows simple control of surface temperatures. This paper examines the relationship between the corona wind and the relative humidity. The facility consists of high voltage power supply thin tungsten wire, plate electrode, multimeter, microammeter and flow meter. Gas velocity is a linear function of voltage, relative humidity and is proportional to the square root of the current. The maximum velocities for the positive and negative corona discharge are 1.9 m/s (2.74 CMM/m), 1.5 m/s(2.15 CMM/m), respectively.

This paper specified the measurement results conducted by the Korea Electric Power Research Institute (KEPRI) 765kV double circuit transmission test line that measured the audible noise, hum noise, radio interference, electric field and aeolian measurement. This test line consists of 6-480mm$^{2}$ conductors per phase. The analysis of the test results shows that this 6-Rail conductor bundle satisfies the audible noise criterion under the stable rainy weather condition and the radio interference level under the fair weather. And the other items are also agreed with the design level criterion. (author). 9 refs., 7 figs., 2 tabs.

This paper describes an application of the on line partial discharge measurement method in operating transformer. In the operating transformer, the partial discharge signal may be superimposed by radio intereference voltage(RIV) and pulse shaped noise signals generated by external corona. The partial discharge quantity showed about 3,800pC due to very high sinusoidal interferences at the measuring impedance terminal of the transformer bushing tap. In order to reject these noises, this paper applied RIV filter, band-pass filters and noise gating method. The resulting measuring sensitivity was improved from 3,800pC to 160pC.
