In the case of synchronous machines, certain power system disturbances cause the induced rotor current to assume negative values when no static converter is present. A converter, however, prevents negative current from flowing, so that overvoltages occur. The overvoltages can be effectively limited as crowbar circuit using GTO. This newly proposed crowbar circuit with current limiting resistor absorbs energy when overvoltage comes from power system repeatedly and verified through experiment

This paper shows the characteristic of wave tail according to inductance values in 10/$350{\mu}s$ impulse circuit with crowbar switch. The PSpice was used to simulate the 10/$350{\mu}s$ current waveform and lightning current impulse generator was used to generate real current waveform. As a capacitor of condenser bank increases, a virtual front time increases and a time to half-value decreases. To get a perfect 10/$350{\mu}s$ current waveform, we should consider the combination of circuit values of the inductance, capacitance, time difference between trigger pulses and charged voltage of capacitor bank.

A new parameter W/R for the class I test have been introduced in the IEC 61643-1 published in 2005. One of the possible test impulses which meets the parameters for class I test is the 10/350 [${\mu}s$] waveshape proposed in IEC61312-1. 10/350 [${\mu}s$] waveshape meets parameters for class I test in the IEC 61643-1. The impulse generator for making the 10/350 [${\mu}s$] waveshape is consist of IVG, ICG, crowbar coil and crowbar switch. The electric change Q and the specific energy W/R were measured and calculated using the exclusive use measuring software according to the formula of IEC 611643-1. We verified the correspondence between measured results using impulse generator and recommended parameters by IEC 61643-1.

This paper presents the parameters optimization technology for generating the first short stroke lightning current waveform($10/350{\mu}s$) which is necessary for the performance tests of components of lightning protection systems, as required under IEC 62305 and the newly amended IEC 62561. The circuit using the crowbar device specified in IEC 62305 was applied to generate the lightning current waveform. To find the proper parameters of the circuit is not easy because the circuit consists of two parts; circuit I, which relates to the front of current waveform, and circuit II, which relates to the tail. A simulation in PSpise was carried out to find main factors related to the front and tail of $10/350{\mu}s$. The lightning current generator was developed by utilizing the circuit parameters found in the simulation. In the result of experiments, new parameters of the circuits need to be changed because of the difference between the simulation and the experiment results. Using the iterative method, the optimized parameters of the circuits was determined. Also a multistage-type external coil and a damping resistor were proposed to make the efficiency of generation to enhance. According to the result in this paper, an optimized first short stroke lightning current waveform was obtained.

Fixed speed wind turbine generators system that uses induction generator as a wind generator has the stability problem similar to a synchronous generator. On the other hand, doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) has the flexibility to control its real and reactive powers independently while being operated in variable speed mode. This paper focuses on a scheme where IG is stabilized by using DFIG during grid fault. In that case, DFIG will be heavily stressed and a remedy should be found out to protect the frequency converter as well as to allow the independent control of real and reactive powers without loosing the synchronism. For that purpose, a crowbar protection switch or DC-link protecting device can be considered. This paper presents a comparative study between two protective schemes, a crowbar circuit connected across the rotor of the DFIG and a protective device connected in the DC-link circuit of the frequency converter. Simulation analysis by using PSCAD/EMTDC shows that both schemes could effectively protect the DFIG, but the latter scheme is superior to the former, because of less circuitry involved.

As a drive for an ETC (Electro-thermal Chemical) launcher, a large pulse power system of a 2.4MJ energy storage was designed, constructed and tested. The overall power system consists of eight capacitive 300kJ energy storage banks. In this paper we describe the design features, setup and operation test result of the 300kJ pulsed power module. Each capacitor bank of the 300kJ module consists of six 22kV 50kJ capacitors. A triggered vacuum switch (TVS-43) was adopted as the main pulse switch. Crowbar diode circuits, variable multi-tap inductors and energy dumping systems are connected to each high power capacitor bank via bus-bars and coaxial cables. A parallel crowbar diode stack is fabricated in coaxial structure with two series 13.5kV, 60kA avalanche diodes. The main design parameters of the 300kJ module are a maximum current of 180kA and a pulse width of 0.5 - 3ms. The electrical performances of each component and current output variations into resistive loads have been investigated.

현재 세계적으로 풍력터빈의 설치 용량이 점차 증가함에 따라 계통에 연계되는 에너지양 또한 급격하게 증가하였다. 풍력터빈의 크기 및 수가 적었던 예전에는 전형적인 분산형 전원으로서 계통에 소규모 외란이 발생하였을 경우, 풍력터빈은 운전이 정지되었으며 그로 인해 계통에 미치는 영향은 거의 무시될 수 있었다. 하지만 최근에는 계통에 영향을 줄 만큼 풍력발전단지가 증가함에 따라 계통 외란에 대해서 운전을 정지하지 않고 계통에 협조하는 특별한 형태로 그 역할이 변경되고 있다. 그래서 이미 많은 나라에서는 그 나라에 맞는 계통연계규정(Grid Code)을 만들어 풍력터빈들이 계통에 미치는 영향에 대해 재평가가 이루어지고 있으며 이제는 짧은 순간의 계통 외란에서도 풍력터빈은 지속적인 운전을 해야 하는 LVRT 기능을 법제화하고 있는 추세이다.

본 논문은 트리거 시간을 조절하여 펄스 성형이 가능한 150 MW 펄스 파워 시스템의 설계와 동작특성을 알아보았다. 이 시스템은 2개의 커패시터 뱅크 모듈로 구성되어 있고, 각 커패시터 뱅크 모듈은 병렬로 연결되어 있다. 그리고 커패시터 뱅크 모듈은 메인스위치, 커패시터, 에너지 덤프회로, 크로바 회로, 펄스 성형 인덕터로 구성되어 있다. 또한 이 시스템의 모듈 선택과 트리거 시간은 트리거 제어부에서 조정된다. Pspice 시뮬레이션은 실험회로의 결과를 예측하고, 시스템의 구성품의 파라미터를 결정하기 위한 것으로 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 시뮬레이션은 실험결과와 잘 일치하였다. 출력 전류의 펄스폭은 커패시터 뱅크 모듈에서의 순간적 점화 시간 제어로 300~650 us의 펄스폭이 형성되었다. 그리고 최대 전류값은 2개의 커패시터 뱅크 모듈이 동시에 트리거 되었을 때 약 40 kA 정도이다. 이 150 MW 펄스 파워 시스템은 파암 전원, Rail Gun, Coil Gun, 나노분말 제조, HPM 등과 같은 대전류 펄스 파워 시스템에 적용할 수 있다.
