In recent years, there is an increasing demand for DC microgrid because the digital load due to DC increases and the efficiency of the distribution system increases due to loss of conversion losses and conversion stages due to reactive power compared to AC distribution. Currently, with the support of the KEPRI, the development of an electronic large-capacity circuit breaker for DC distribution protection, which has been underway since 2016, is proceeding. In this paper, as a part of this project, we modeled the DC microgrid connected with PV using PSCAD. The converter station, AC/DC converter control, PV and MPPT controller are designed. In order to evaluate the performance of the modeled DC microgrid, it is examined whether the voltage is adjusted according to the load variation.

While passing through the AC/DC section insulators installed at electric railroad catenary, some electric trains undergo mis-operation of main circuit breaker after AC/DC change-over operation. This paper provides insulation resistance measurements of AC/DC section insulators, which confirm the insulation levels of section insulators are below the standard of insulators. The insulation deterioration and pantograph arrangement on the electric train can produce voltage impression on section insulator which induces mis-operation of main circuit breaker To mitigate the insulation deterioration of the section insulator installed at underground railroads, the section insulators have been cleaned periodically, but section insulator structure should be modified to make the section insulator performance perfect. Based on the above analysis, effective modification method of AC/DC section insulator is provided.

High speed DC circuit breakers (HSCB) are indispensable for protection of DC electric subway substations from fault current. However, the HSCB has mechanical contact to wear, which requires rather frequent maintenance, we have succeeded in developing and manufacturing a GTO DC circuit breaker using GTOs and ZnO varistors. In this paper, we describes the outline of the system itself, its characteristics and test data.

In order to newly define and specify the performance and the testing method of the high-voltage circuit breaker, IEC 62271-100 was published in May, 2001 and took place of IEC 60056 which had been used since 1987. This new standard intensifies the requirement and the test method of the circuit breaker and also domestic manufacturer makes progress the new product development. And, KERI also goes on the build-up project of short-circuit testing facilities for fulfilling the testing method requirements in new IEC 62271-100. This paper introduce the limiting method of short-circuit making current by controlling the time constant of dc component.

A SCR static breaker was studied on the Resistive and inductive load, then on the overload break circuit using operational Amplifier. In this paper, the principal circuit required for forced commutation was voltage commutation by the introduction of a parallel Capacitor. The results obtained are follows; 1. In thecondition that the tima constant of R-C circuit is larger than the turn off time of SCR, the breaker has low transient phenomena and no recovery vol age. 2. By using OP Amplifier on the load circuit, overcurrent trip point will be able to adjust to the wide range of over current. 3. In the over current qrcuit, the power loss was reduced remarkably.

This paper analyzed the fault current limiting characteristics of the previously proposed transformer superconducting fault current limiter (TSFCL) interruption system according to its transformer type. The TSFCL interruption system is an interruption technology that combines a TSFCL, which uses a transformer and a superconductor, and a mechanical DC circuit breaker. This technology first limits the fault current using the inductance of the transformer winding and the quench characteristics of the superconductor. The limited fault current is then interrupted by a mechanical DC circuit breaker. The magnitude of the limited fault current can be controlled by the quench resistance of the superconductor in the TSFCL and the turns ratio of the transformer. When the fault current is controlled using a superconductor, additional costs are incurred due to the cooling vessel and the length of the superconductor. When the fault current is controlled using step-up and step-down transformers, however, it is possible to control the fault current more economically than using the superconductor. The TSFCL interruption system was designed using PSCAD/EMTDC-based analysis software, and the fault current limiting characteristics according to the type of the transformer were analyzed. The turns ratios of the step-up and step-down transformers were set to 1:2 and 2:1. The results were compared with those of a transformer with a 1:1 turns ratio.

This work investigates the commutation characteristics of the current flowing through an electrical-contact-type switch to the semiconductor switch branch during the breaking operation of hybrid DC switchgear. A simple, reliable, low-cost natural commutation method is proposed, and the current commutation characteristics are analyzed in accordance with the conduction voltage drop of the semiconductor switch branch through experiments. A prototype 400 V/10 A class natural commutation type hybrid DC switchgear is set up. Its performance is verified, and its characteristics are analyzed.

There are many equipments for the Short Circuit Test, for example Short Circuit Generator, Induction Motor, Sequence Timer, CLR, Back Up Breaker, Making Switch and Excitation Equipment etc. Gradually an allowable tolerance of the short circuit test voltage is become smaller by the standards for short circuit test. The excitation equipment of short circuit generator is very important for test voltage is adjusted by the excitation equipment. Especially the excitation equipment must be possessed character of exactitude, durability and inalterability because some times around 10,000 times opening and closing short circuit test is requested by clint, which must be done within one minute. The purpose of this study for function and operation of the excitation equipment which rated DC voltage is 1,000V, rated DC current is 300A, rated out put is 30kW and type is YNEX 97S-441/609, is to help operation of short circuit generator.

This paper deals with a 300kV dc charging system to be used ?s a voltage source in a circuit breaker synthetic short-circuit-test facility. Cockcroft-walton circuit is used to step up the rectified voltage from a single phase transformer of which primary winding is hooked up to an ac220 wall plug. Two systems with the same ratings have been designed and manufactured. The two system have been made of different supporting structure with different insulating materials. The paper describes a couple of charging schemes, system configurations and the synthetic test circuit in which the developed system is to be used.
