In this paper, phase current ripples and torque ripples of six-phase PM synchronous motor controlled by interleaved PWM are analyzed. The cause of the increase of phase current ripple in the interleaved PWM was mathematically analyzed based on the mutual inductance of stator windings and effective voltage vector. Simulation and experiment verified that the DQ current ripple and torque ripple can be reduced by interleaved PWM control. The FFT analysis of torque waveform confirmed that the magnitude of harmonic torque corresponding to double the PWM frequency was reduced.

High speed info-communications equipment are required with development of highly information-oriented society, the intelligent industrial facilities and social systems such as administrative, financial and traffic systems, are gradually becoming to automation, which are composed of the integrated circuits and micro-semiconductors, remote control and operation. Thus modern micro-electronic circuits can frequently be damaged by lightning surge. The protection of electronic circuits from lightning overvoltages is concentrated very interesting. In this paper, for the purpose of providing the effective protection method of electronic devices such micro-computers from lightning surges in a residential building, the protection effect of surge protective devices according to types of system groundings were experimentally analyzed. Also the effective installation method of surge protective devices was examined and proposed. The installation of SPDs in retrofits was a high remnant voltage across the protected device owing to the inductance in the long wires to the SPDs. Finally the method of installing the SPD by twisted pain wires is remarkably effective for fast rising transient overvoltages.

The transient ground impedance depending on configuration, size, and material of grounding electrodes as well as the shapes of impulse currents, has a significant affect on the performance of the grounding system. This paper presents experimental results in regard to the analysis method of transient ground impedance using the lightning impulse and variable frequency currents. Also a new estimation method to replace the effective surge impedance for transient ground impedance was proposed. The ground electrodes used in this experiment are virtual ground electrodes including both resistance and inductance components, carbon ground electrode with 1[m] length, copper electrode with 9[m] length and counterpoise with 40[m] length. Ground impedances using the proposed method were measured respectively. Comparing with the ground impedance using variable frequency current the conventional ground impedance($Z_1$) calculated from the peak values of impulse voltage and impulse current is observed more correct method for evaluating the performance of ground electrode than the effective surge impedance.

This paper presents the transient impedance behaviors according to the length of down conductors of grounding systems to lightning impulse currents. The potential rise and effective impulse ground impedance of the deeply-driven ground rod and grounding grid subjected to the impulse currents were measured and analyzed as a function of the rise time of impulse currents and lengths of down conductor. The transient ground impedances strongly depend on the configuration and size of grounding electrodes, the waveform of impulse currents and the length of down conductors, and the installation methods reducing the inductance of down conductors are an important factor to decrease the transient ground impedances.

This paper presents a new analytical model to suppress RLC resonance effects which inevitably occur in power/ground lines due to on-chip decoupling capacitor and other interconnect circuit parasitics (i.e., package inductance, on-chip decoupling capacitor, and output drivers, etc.). To characterize the resonance effects, the resonance frequency of the circuit is accurately estimated in an analytical manner. Thereby, a decoupling capacitor size to suppress the resonance for a suitable circuit operation is accurately determined by using the estimated resonance frequency. The developed novel design methodology is verified by using $0.18{\mu}m$ process-based-HSPICE simulation.

The concept of the Micro-Grid comprising Micro-Sources supplying both heat and power ranging from several [KW] to 1[MW] to local customers is proposed by CERTS(Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions). Micro-Sources adopt environmentally friendly and reliable power sources such as Fuel-Cell and Micro-Turbines. Micro-Sources adopt voltage source inverter with AC grid system in order to provide independent real and reactive power control for premium power quality. Thus Micro-Source needs series inductance for interfacing with AC grid system. With this reason, we propose a technique that can decide the optimal size of the inductor for effective transfer of the power into the grid.

Two-phase simultaneous excitation mode of the switched reluctance motor (SRM) has been shown to effectively improve the average torque output compared with traditional single-phase excitation mode. But the torque ripple of the two-phase excitation SRM with traditional winding distribution increases because of the inconsistent electromagnetic field. To reduce the torque ripple, a two-phase excitation 8/6 SRM with novel winding distribution is proposed in this paper. The static torques generated by various magnetic circuits are analyzed and obtained to verify the torque increase. Then the electromagnetic characteristics of the proposed SRM are investigated by the numerical calculation method in detail, including flux linkage, inductance, and torque. Finally, an experiment for measuring the SRM static electromagnetic characteristics and dynamic performance is designed and performed based on the novel mode, and the comparing results show that the proposed two-phase SRM is effective.

Online identification of load parameters is the premise of establishing a stable and highly-efficient ICPT (Inductive Coupled Power Transfer) system. However, compared with pure resistive load, precise identification of composite load, such as resistor-inductance load and resistance-capacitance load, is more difficult. This paper proposes a method for detecting the composite load parameters of ICPT system utilizing harmonics. In this system, the fundamental and harmonic wave channel are connected to the high frequency inverter jointly. The load parameter values can be obtained by setting the load equation based on the induced voltage of secondary-side network, the fundamental wave current, as well as the third harmonic current effective value received by the secondary-side current via Fourier decomposition. This method can achieve precise identification of all kinds of load types without interfering the normal energy transmission and it can not only increase the output power, but also obtain higher efficiency compared with the fundamental wave channel alone. The experimental results with the full-bridge LCCL-S type voltage-fed ICPT system have shown that this method is accurate and reliable.

To verify the feasibility of bifilar winding type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using BSCCO tape, two types of magnets were fabricated and tested by short-circuit in this research. Even if the FCL using high Tc superconducting (HTS) tape has zero resistance in normal state, it needs to be wound as a bifilar winding for zero inductance. Solenoid type and pancake type bifilar winding magnets are designed and fabricated with the same length of BSCCO tape. The test system consists of AC power supply, transformer, fault switch, load and bifilar winding magnet. The applied AC voltages during fault duration, 0.1s, were from 0.5V to 20V. The test results without bifilar winding magnet were compared with those with each type magnets. The test results include voltage against magnet, transport current and generated resistance curve. Thermal stability, the recovery time, was studied from the results of two type magnets. The pancake type was the most effective to limit fault current but the solenoid type was thermally the most stable. From this research, short-circuit characteristics of the two types were obtained.

When a circuit breaker is opened, a large capacitance around the buses, the circuit breaker and the potential transformer (PT) might cause PT ferroresonance. During PT ferroresonance, the iron core repeats saturation and unsaturation even though the supplied voltage is a rated voltage. This paper describes an analytical analysis of PT ferroresonance in the transient-state. To analyze ferroresonance analytically, the iron core is modelled by a simplified two-segment core model in this paper. Thus, a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) for the flux linkage is changed into a linear ODE with constant coefficients, which enables an analytical analysis. In this simplified model, each state, which is either saturated or unsaturated state, corresponds to one of the three modes, i.e. overdamping, critical damping and underdamping. The flux linkage and the voltage in each state are obtained analytically by solving the linear ODE with constant coefficients. The proposed transient analysis is effective in the more understanding of ferroresonance and thus can be used to design a ferroresonance prevention or suppression circuit of a PT.
