In an insulating dielectric liquid such as transformer oil, space charge injection and propagation were analyzed under the Fowler-Nordheim and Richardson-Dushman's thermal emission charge injection conditions for blade-plane electrodes stressed by a step voltage. The governing equations were composed of all five equations such as the Poisson's equation for electric fields, three continuity equations for electrons, negative, and positive ions, and energy balanced equation for temperature distributions. The governing equations for each carrier, the continuity equations, belong to the hyperbolic-type PDE of which the solution has a step change at the space charge front resulting in numerical instabilities. To decrease these instabilities, the governing equations were solved simultaneously by the Finite Element Method (FEM) employing the artificial diffusion scheme as a stabilization technique. Additionally, the terminal current was calculated by using the generalized energy method which is based on the Poynting's theorem, and represents more reliable and stable approach for evaluating discharge current. To verify the proposed method, the discharge phenomena were successfully applied to the blade~plane electrodes, where the radius of blade cap was $50{\mu}m$.

In power transformers, vibration signals can occur at winding and core due to the change of current, voltage, and temperature and the deformation of winding and core. The deformation of winding and core occurs electromagnetic force induced by fault current in power systems. There firem the changes of vibration signals can be very different in normal or fault states of power transformers. We edtect and analyze the changes of vibration signals and use them as a tool for fault diagnosis of power transformers. This paper presents fault discriminating polliblility using the changes of fundamental waves and higher harmonics in power transformers. We showed the fault discriminating functions that are made at each case ; normal state and fault state. These functions are tested by the detected vibration signals, and we showed that the proposed method can discriminate the state of power transformers.

Thin paper proposes a new three-phase rectifier that actively shapes the input current sinusoidal by means of two rectifier bridges, each followed by a dc-dc boost converter. The proposed approach draws sinusoidal input current at unity power factor and has output voltage regulation capability The size and weight of magnetic material Is reduced by Incorporating a low KVA three-phase autotransformer and by directly connecting the dc outputs each other without using low frequency interphase transformer(IPT). The operation principle is described along with simple control method, and experimental results on a 1.5KW prototype are provided.

In a voltage source inverter, the dead time is necessary to prevent short circuits in the dc link. The dead time effect appears as a distortion of output voltages and currents. In recent years, the dead time compensation methods have been investigated in many literatures. This paper presents not the dead time compensation by sensing and calculation but the dead time elimination. The proposed inverter system doesn't need to sense load current and to calculate dead time. Adding some transformers to each leg, dead times in the inverter system are eliminated automatically. The proposed method is analyzed on each mode and verified through simulation results.

The winding loss analysis of a flyback transformer is difficult and ambiguous because the primary side current and the secondary side current differs both in shape and phase, especially for DCM (Discontinuous Conduction Mode) operation. Meanwhile, the fringing field caused by the air gaps further makes the traditional 1-D loss analysis model not directly applicable. The paper gives a thorough investigation into the phase shift of winding currents, which indicates that the phase shift of the high order harmonics is still close to $180^{\circ}$ out-of-phase. Based on the analysis, a simplified 2-D winding loss analytical model for flyback transformers considering the effects of low order harmonics is proposed. By neglecting the y components of the fringing field, the proposed model has an acceptable accuracy and a simple form that is similar to the conventional 1-D model. The power loss calculated with the proposed analysis model is verified by FEA (Finite Element Analysis) simulations and experimental results.

하이브리드 차량 및 전기차량 구동 모터의 권선저항에 의한 손실 및 모터의 크기를 줄이기 위해 고효율, 고승압형 DC-DC 컨버터 사용이 요구된다. 기존의 부스트 컨버터는 기생저항 성분에 의해 고승압이 불가능하여 변압기를 사용하여 승압비를 향상시킨 current-fed push-pull, current-fed full bridge, dual inductor-fed 부스트 컨버터 등으로 변형되어 사용되어 왔다. dual inductor-fed 부스트 컨버터의 경우 동일조건하에서 앞서 기술된 2가지 컨버터보다 2배의 승압비를 얻을 수 있으며 1차측 전류 스트레스가 낮은 장점을 가지고 있어 대전력, 고승압 응용에 적합하다. 하지만 변압기의 누설인덕턴스에 의한 써지성 전류/전압을 제한하기 위한 부가적인 snubber회로의 사용으로 효율을 떨어뜨리게 되는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 보완할 수 있는 새로운 2개의 인덕터와 1개의 변압기를 갖는 DC-DC 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터의 동작원리와 모드해석을 실시하고 최종적으로 400W, 42Vdc (Battery)/400Vdc (Electric Motor) 실험결과를 통해 이를 검증한다.

In the paper, reactorless high efficiency boost DC/DC converter for EV is proposed. In proposed converter, improves efficiency because decrease power loss when the switches are turned on/off using zero current switching (ZCS) at all switch of primary full bridge. By replacing reactance ingredients of L-C resonance circuit for ZCS with leakage inductance ingredients of high frequency transformer, it reduces system size and expense because of not add special reactor. For validity verification of proposed converter, in the paper implements simulation using PSIM and perform experiment by making 5KW DC/DC converter. In experimental results, efficiency of proposed converter conformed superiority.

In this papers, we proposed the new method in order to diagnosis partial discharge type of transformers. For wavelet transform, Daubechie's filter is used,, we can obtain wavelet coefficients which is used to extract featrue of statistical parameters(maximum value, average value, dispersion, skewness, kurtosis) about high frequency current signal per 3-electrode type(needle-plane electrode, IEC electrode and Void electrode). Also, these coefficients are used to identify signal of internal partial discharge in transformer. As a result, from compare of high frequency current signal amplitude and average value, we are obtained results of IEC electrode> Void electrode> Needle-Plane electrode. Otherwise, in case of skewness and kurtosis, we are obtained results of Void electrode> IEC electrode> Needle-Plane electrode. As improved method in order to diagnosis partial discharge type of transformers, we use neural network.

In this paper, we represent both occurrence reason of Surge-voltage and Leakage-current of AC drive system which is operated by Voltage-type PWM Inverter. It generates a compensating voltage which has the same amplitude as, but the opposite phase to, the common-mode voltage produced by the PWM inverter. The compensating voltage is superimposed on the inverter output by a common-mode transformer. As a result, the common-mode voltage applied to the load is canceled completely. The design method of the active common-mode noise canceler is also presented in detail. Therefore, we try to describe the method controling both of them and all of the proprieties are proved by our experiment.
