A complex single flux quantum(SFQ) circuit could be made up of various elementary cells such as JTL(Josephson transmission line), Splitter, XOR, DC/SFQ, SFQ/DC, T flip-flop, ‥‥, etc. In this work, we have designed and simulated a SFQ circuit, which consists of DC/SFQ, JTL and SFQ/DC, based on Nb/AlO$_{x}$Nb Josephson junction technology From the simulation, we could obtain the margins for various circuit parameters. And also we have successfully operated the circuit, which was fabricated with the same design, up to the input signal frequency of about 20 GHz.z.

Natural ester is a suitable substitute for mineral oil and has been widely used in AC transformer in many countries. In order to further application of natural ester in direct current (DC) equipment, it is needed to investigate its long term insulation property under DC condition. In this paper, a thermal ageing experiment was conducted for both mineral oil-paper and natural ester-paper insulation. The DC breakdown and space charge characteristics of insulation paper impregnated with natural ester and mineral oil was compared. Results show that the resistivity of the paper immersed in natural ester and mineral oil both increase as the ageing goes on. While insulation paper impregnated with natural ester has higher resistivity and DC breakdown voltage than the paper impregnated with mineral oil. The DC breakdown voltage for the oil impregnated insulation paper being DC pre-stressing is higher than that without pre-stressing. The average DC breakdown field strength difference between the test with pre-stressing and without pre-stressing clearly shows that there is an apparent enhancement effect for the homo-charge injection on the DC breakdown.

Distance relay is widely used for the protection of long transmission line. Most of distance relay used to calculate line impedance by measuring voltage and current using DFT. So if there is a computation error due to the influence of phasor by DC offset component, due to excessive vibration by measuring line impedance, overreach or underreach can be occurs, and then abnormal and non-operation of distance relay can be issue. It is very important to implement the robust distance relaying that is not affected by DC offset component. This paper describes an enhanced distance relaying based on the DC offset elimination filter to minimize the effects of DC offset on a long transmission line. The proposed DC offset elimination filter has not need any prior information. The phase angle delay of the proposed DC offset filter did not occurred and the gain error was not found. The enhanced distance relay uses fault current as well as residual current. The behavior of the proposed distance relaying using off-line simulation has been verified using data about several fault conditions generated by the ATP simulation software.

This paper proposes an advanced distance relaying based on the DC offset removal filter to minimize the effects of DC offset on a double circuit transmission line. The proposed DC offset removal filter uses only one cycle of data for phasor extraction computation, which does not need to preset the time constant of the DC offset component. This proposed distance relaying uses not only the residual current of the faulted circuit but also mutual current of the healthy adjacent circuit. A series of off-line test results using ATP simulation data show the effectiveness of the an advanced distance relaying.

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated a RF-DC voltage multiplier for 5.8GHz microwave wireless power transmission. In order to obtain higher voltage, the RF-DC voltage multiplier with 10 diodes (D-10) and the receiver module with an antenna and BPF (Band Pass Filter) was manufactured. The measured and compared results show that the voltages of the proposed one are lower than those of the previous tripler module up to 40cm. However, the voltage of the proposed one with the voltage multiplier is higher than that of the tripler module at the distances of 45cm and 50cm due to the voltage multiplier with 10 diodes.

This paper deals with the blocking of DC-fault current during DC cable short-circuit conditions in HVDC (High-Voltage DC) transmission systems utilizing Modular Multilevel Converters (MMCs), where a new SubModule (SM) topology circuit for the MMC is proposed. In this SM circuit, an additional Insulated-Gate Bipolar Translator (IGBT) is required to be connected at the output terminal of a conventional SM with a half-bridge structure, hereafter referred to as HBSM, where the anti-parallel diodes of additional IGBTs are used to block current from the grid to the DC-link side. Compared with the existing MMCs based on full-bridge (FB) SMs, the hybrid topologies of HBSM and FBSM, and the clamp-double SMs, the proposed topology offers a lower cost and lower power loss while the fault current blocking capability in the DC short-circuit conditions is still provided. The effectiveness of the proposed topology has been validated by simulation results obtained from a 300-kV 300-MW HVDC transmission system and experimental results from a down-scaled HVDC system in the laboratory.

In this paper, the rectenna converting 2.45[GHz] microwave into DC power is designed and fabricated for wireless power transmission using microwave and the methode for impedance matching and tuning are proposed in order to maximize RF-DC conversion efficiency. The fabricated rectenna can be easily tuned by using a broad open stub and has the RF-DC conversion efficiency up to 59[%] when the 5[dBm] input power is applied. The 2.2[V], 1.5[mW] DC level, in the 1[m] distance between the transmitter and the receiver can be obtained and this value is avaliable in the small power digital system.

In this paper, we implemented a wireless power transmission system at 2.45 GHz. The transmission power is limited within 20 dBm according to the ISM frequency regulations. We used two zero-bias Schottky diode and optimized the RF-DC converter for working a clock at 80 cm distance using a receiver with a single antenna and an Rf-DC converter to reduce parts and cost compared to previously reported literatures.

The DC side voltage and current of a HVDC transmission system are directly affected by non-linear switching devices such as the thyristor valve which causes real power losses, even under the superconducting conditions of a high temperature superconducting (HTS) power cable. This paper deals with the development of miniaturized superconducting DC cable system. The authors designed and fabricated two thyristor converters for DC transmission system. One is operated as a rectifier and the other is an inverter. The HTS model cable was connected between the DC side of the rectifier and inverter. Real DC transport current and voltage were applied to the miniaturized HTS DC cable. Experimental results are discussed in detail.

The design feasibility of a micro unidirectional DC transmission system based on an input-parallel output-parallel (IPOP) converter is analyzed in this paper. The system consists of two subsystems: an input-parallel output-series (IPOS) subsystem to step up the DC link voltage, and an input-series output-parallel (ISOP) subsystem to step down the output voltage. The two systems are connected through a transmission line. The challenge of the delay caused by the communication in the control system is addressed by introducing a ring communication structure, and its influence on the control system is analyzed to ensure the feasibility and required performance of the converter system under practical circumstances. Simulation and experiment results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design.
