This paper describes the fusing time characteristics of Light PVC Sheathed Circular Cord(VCTF) and Tray Frame Retardant(TFR) cables according to increased temperature under over current condition. The experimental equation will be used to determine the validity and reliability of the test results. The over current flowed 3, 5 and 10 times higher than the amount of allowable current using DC power supply with DAQ(Data Acquisition) measurement system. An infrared radiation heater, which was controlled by a variable AC auto transformer, was used to increase the temperature from room temperature to 50, 100 and 150 degrees Celsius. First, two type of cables were analyzed those with different cross-sectional areas with in the same structure and those with different structures with in the same cross-sectional areas. Then, it was determined how fusing time had been influenced according to the cross-sectional areas and different structures, respectively. The cable resistance was increased by joule heating according to increasing temperature. Therefore, the allowable current of cable is decreased. Finally, the fusing time of the cable was decreased due to increased temperatures at current flow, which were 3 times the amount of allowable current. The instantaneous breakdown was observed when current flow was 5 and 10 times over the amount of allowable current. The fusing time is directly affected by the structure of cable insulation.

Current transformer (CT) saturation may cause a variety of protective relays to malfunction. The conventional CT is designed that it can carry up to 20 times the rated current without exceeding 10% ratio error. However, the possibility of CT saturation still remains if the fault current contains substantial amounts of ac and/or dc components. This paper presents a design method of iron-cored CTs for use with protective relays to prevent CT saturation. The proposed design method determines the core cross section of the CT; it employs the transient dimensioning factor to consider relay's operating time (duty cycle) and dc component as well as ac components contained in the fault current, and symmetrical short-circuit current factor to consider as well as ac components contained in the fault current, and symmetrical short-circuit current factor to consider the biggest fault current. The method designs the cross section of CTs in cases of reclosure and no reclosure.

Three-level PWM rectifiers applied in medium voltage applications usually operate at low switching frequency to keep the dynamic losses under permitted level. However, low switching frequency brings a heavy cross-coupling between the current components $i_d$ and $i_q$ with a poor dynamic system performance and a harmonic distortion in the grid-connecting current. To overcome these problems, a mathematical model based on complex variables of the three-level voltage source PWM rectifier is firstly established, and the reasons of above issues resulted from low switching frequency have been analyzed using modern control theory. Then, a novel control strategy suitable for the current decoupling control based on the complex variables for $i_d$ and $i_q$ is designed here. The comparisons between this kind of control strategy and the normal PI method have been carried out. MATLAB and experimental results are given in detail.

The optimum cross-sectional area profile of gas-cooled high-temperature superconductor(HTS) current lead is analyzed to have minimum helium boil-off rate. The conventional constant area HTS lead has much higher helium consumption than the optimum HTS lead considered in this study. The optimum HTS lead has variable cross-sectional area to have constant satiety factor. An analytical formula of optimum shape of lead and temperature profile are obtained. For multi-stacking HTS current leads, the optimum tape lengths and minimum heat dissipation rate are also formulated. The developed formulations are applied to the Bi-2223 material, and the differences between constant area, constant safety-factor, and multi-stacking current leads are discussed.

Electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid EVs (HEV) are designed and manufactured by GM, Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai motors. The propulsion system design process for EV requires integrating subsystem designs into an overall system model to maximize the performance of a given propulsion architecture. Therefore, high-power density and high-torque density are important attributes required for EV applications. To improve torque and power density, propulsion motors are designed for saturation during high-torque operation. The nonlinearity associated with core saturation is modeled by incorporating the cross-coupling inductances, which also behave nonlinearly. Furthermore, in EV environments, the battery is directly connected to the DC link, and the battery changes depending on the state of charge. It will be onerous if as many optimal current commands as different $V_{dc}$ were made. This paper presents the optimal current commands in the various operating condition and the current control technique in EV environments.

This paper describes the development of a novel islanding detection method, which uses the signal cross-corelation scheme between the injected reactive current and the power frequency deviation. The existing method, which injects the reactive current of 2.5-5% to the rated current and detects the frequency deviation directly, brings about lowing the power quality due to the harmonic pollution. The proposed method eliminates the weak point of the existing method, because it injects the reactive current less than 1% to the rated current. The operational feasibility was verified through computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software, and experimental works with a 10kVA hardware prototype. The proposed method can detect the islanding status effectively without lowing the power quality of interconnected distributed generation system.

Distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon of different characteristics were formed to determine their optical constants in the visible wavelength range using a periodic square wave current between low and high current densities. The surface and cross-sectional SEM images of distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon were obtained using a cold field emission scanning electron microscope. The surface image of distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon indicates that the distributions of pores are even. The cross-sectional image illustrates that the multilayer of distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon exhibits a depth of few microns and applying of square current density during the etching process results two distinct refractive indices in the contrast. Distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon exhibited a porosity depth profile that related directly to the current-time profile used in etch. Its free-standing film was obtained by applying an electro-polishing current.

The non-linear characteristics of ON states are important for the application to the high density cross-point memory industry because the sneak current in neighbor cells occurred during reading, erasing, and writing process. Kw of above 20 in ON states, which is the writing current @ Vwrite/the current @ 1/2Vwrite, was required in cross-point ReRAM memory industry. The high current density non-linear IV curve of ZnSe selector was shown and the ALD HfO2 switching device has the linear properties of ON states and the compliance current of 100 uA. To evaluate the performance of the selection device, we connected itto HfO2 switching device in series. The bottom electrode of the selection device was connected to the top electrode of the RRAM. All of the bias was applied with respect to the top electrode of the selection device, whereas the bottom electrode of the RRAM was grounded. In the cross-point application, 1/2Vwrite and -1/2Vwrite were applied to the word-line and bit-line, respectively, which were connected to the selected cell, and a zero bias was applied to the unselected word-lines and bit-lines. The current @ 1/2Vwrite of the unselected cells was blocked by the selection device, thus eliminating the sneak path and obtaining a writing voltage margin. Using this method, the writing voltage margin was analyzed on the basis of the memory size.

해양현상을 이해하기 위한 관측분야의 노력 중에서 해류 정보의 생산은 가장 어려운 작업 중의 하나이다. 이를 극복하기 위한 대안으로서 연속 화상 자료로부터 해류벡터를 추정하려는 많은 연구들이 진행 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한반도 주변의 SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor) chlorophyll-a 해색 자료와 AVHRR/SST 를 이용하여 연속 화상 사이의 유사한 형태를 추적하는 최대상 관계수법을 사용한 표층 유속 벡터의 추정을 시도하였다. 한국의 남해역에서 적용한 유속 벡터 결과는 해면 고도계를 이용한 지형류, ADCP 관측 결과와 비교하여 유속은 약 15% 정도 작고, 유향은 약 $36^{\circ}$의 차이로 근접하여 기존 연구 결과에 비해 양호하게 나타났다. 이는 향후 GOCI 자료의 응용적 측면에서 매우 고무적이다.

다중 만곡부에서의 주흐름과 이차류의 흐름 특성을 분석하기 위하여 중심각 120$^{\circ}$인 두 개의 만곡부로 이루어진 사행수로에서 실험을 수행하였다. 실험수로의 횡단면은 직사각형과 곡선형 두 가지 형태로 제작하였으며, 곡선형 단면 형상 결정에는 베타함수를 이용하였다. 3차원 유속장의 측정은 micro-ADV를 이용하였다. 실험결과, 직사각형 수로에서 주흐름은 수로의 가장 짧은 경로를 따라 발생하였으며, 이는 기존 연구자들의 결과와 일치한다. 곡선형 수로에서도 주흐름이 직사각형 수로에서의 주흐름의 거동과 비슷한 양상을 보이는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 곡선형 수로에서의 실험결과가 실제 자연하천의 만곡부에서의 주흐름 거동(최심선을 따라 발생)과 상이하게 나타나는 이유는 실험수로의 바닥 조도와 사행도에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. 이차류의 정량적인 분석을 위하여 흐름함수를 도입한 결과, 만곡부에서 주 셀 뿐만 아니라 바깥제방 셀의 위치 및 형태를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 이차류 강도를 계산한 결과, 직사각형 및 곡선형 수로에서 최대값은 두 번째 만곡부의 정점 부근에서 가장 크게 나타나며 곡선형 수로의 이차류의 강도가 직사각형 수로의 값보다 크게 나타나고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 직사각형 수로의 경우, 하폭 대 수심비가 커질수록 이차류의 강도가 증가하고 있음을 확인하였다.
