In this paper, we studied the dielectric breakdown voltage characteristics by the AC withstand voltage test on using green insulation dry air instead of $SF_6$ insulation gas used in the GIB (gas insulated bus) of 362 kV GIS (gas insulated switchgear). The AC withstand voltage test applied to the standard KEPCO's 362 kV GIB with dry air insulation, and the equivalence of dielectric breakdown voltage for dry air and $SF_6$ gas were examined, and the empirical formulas of dielectric breakdown voltage for dry air were calculated, and the criterion of AC withstand voltage test for dry air insulation was derived. Using the criterion, dry air can be used instead of $SF_6$ gas for 362 kV GIB in the factory acceptance test was confirmed.

This paper analyzes voltage control method in order to supply high-quality power for stand-alone microgrid. Stand-alone microgrid is composed of battery bank, stand-alone PCS and controllable loads. The main role of stand-alone PCS is to supply high-quality power to loads as main source by using stable voltage method regardless of load conditions. In particularly, output voltage of stand-alone PCS gets severely unbalanced voltage under unbalanced loads. Fundamental positive and negative sequences are transformed by two coordinates transformation which are rotated in each opposite direction, respectively. Each fundamental d-q voltage is regulated by each fundamental PI control. In addition, low-order harmonics are compensated through resonant controllers. Performance of stand-alone microgrid is tested for feasibility, and it is verified that output voltage of THD is improved to 1% from 2.2% under 50 kW balanced load, and is improved to 1.1% from 2.6% under 50 kW unbalanced load.

In the station of the railway and the subway various illumination equipment and a general power equipment for a passenger convenience, the signal equipment and the communication equipment which is necessary to the train operation provided. At the all of like this equipment from the electric room which is established in each station by changing from high voltage to low voltage and it supplies from the illumination transformer, the power transformer and the signal transformer. If it supplies to the equipment from the high voltage to the low voltage, it must be established to contact protection device in between the high voltage coil and the low voltage coil. Also it must do the grounding faulting device at the low voltage lines, the earthing devices at apparatus for the protection of an electric shock and an electric fire by the electric relation law. Compared the related regulations between the facilities which require protective functions such as grounding fault or earthing in public utilities like subway stations, and the facilities which do not require line earthing or protective functions such as electricity supplied for signalling the train. Also, will describe a countermeasure for the accident from a grounding fault.

Significant penetration of induction motor loads into residential neighborhood and commercial regions of local transmission systems at least partially determine a vulnerability to a fault induced delayed voltage recovery (FIDVR) event. Highly concentrated induction motor loads with constant torque could stall in response to low voltages associated with system faults. FIDVR is caused by wide spread stalling of small HVAC units (residential air conditioner) during transmission level faults. An under voltage load shedding scheme (UVLS) can be an effective component in a strategy to manage FIDVR risk and limit the any potential disturbance. Under Voltage Load Shedding take advantage of the plan to recovery the voltage of the system by shedding the load ways to alleviation FIDVR.

Electric drive vehicles (EDV) have received much attention recently because of their environmental and energy benefits. In an EDV, the motor drive system directly influences the performance of the propulsion system. However, the available DC voltage is limited, which limits the maximum speed of the motors. At high speeds, the inverter voltage increases if the square wave (SW) voltage (six-step operation) is used. Although conventional direct torque control (DTC) has several advantages, it cannot work in the six-step mode required in high-speed applications. In this paper, a single-mode seamless DTC for AC motors is proposed. In this scheme, the trajectory of the reference flux changes continuously between circular and hexagonal paths. Therefore, the armature voltage changes smoothly from a high-frequency switching pattern to a square wave pattern without torque discontinuity. In addition, because multi-mode controllers are not used, implementation is more straightforward. Simulation results show the voltage pattern changes smoothly when the motor speed changes, and consequently, torque control without torque discontinuity is possible in the field weakening area even with a six-step voltage pattern.

This paper presents a graphical method for hazard assessment of electric shock by safety criteria. For the human body to be safety actual body current should not exceed safety criteria, i.e. allowable body current. The assessment method presented in this paper is based m the safety criteria of the IEEE Standard 80 as well as the IEC 479-1. The hazard can be assessed in terms of alterable touch voltages instead of alterable body current. Thus, the hazard assessment of given electric shock condition is referred to a procedure by which the actual touch voltages are compared with the allowable (safe) touch voltages. Since the IEC 479-1 safety criteria are nonlinear, the graphical method is presented for the hazard assessment. Body current and body voltage are calculated with the allowable touch voltage. A comparison of the safety criteria of two widely accepted standards, i.e. the IEEE Std 80 End the IEC 479-1 is proposed. Also Thevenin equivalent resistance is obtained from electric shock model expressed by two-port earth-grid-foot system. On the basis of calculated results, the allowable touch voltage, the body current and the body voltage we can conduct the hazard or safety assessment and estimate the severity of electric shock.

최근 송전전압 격상으로 인해 차단기 또한 정격이 높아지고 있다. 이에 차단부의 전압 정격을 높이기 위한 방법으로 차단부 2개 이상을 직렬로 구성하는 다점절 차단기가 설치되어 운용되고 있다. 다점절 차단기에서 차단부 극간에 설치되는 균압용 콘덴서는 점절간 균등한 전압분배와 초기 과도회복전압을 저감하는 기능을 수행한다. 하지만, 세계적으로 실계통 사용에서 균압용 콘덴서는 기계적인 손상, 절연파괴에 의한 폭발 등 다수의 고장이 발생하고 있어, 이에 대한 원인 규명과 새로운 성능 검증방법에 대한 연구 필요성이 제기 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 한전 계통에서 주로 발생한 균압용 콘덴서의 절연파괴 원인을 규명하고 이에 대한 제품 성능검증 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

We investigated the voltage applicable to $Au/YBa_2Cu3O_7$ (YBCO) meander lines. The meander line was fabricated by patterning Au/YBCO thin films grown on sapphire substrates by photolithography. It was subjected to simulated AC fault currents, and the resistance was measured and analyzed. The samples were immersed in liquid nitrogen during the experiment for effective cooling. The voltage applicable to the meander lines depended on the fault duration. Dependence was strong at short fault durations, and weak at long durations. When the voltage was plotted as a function of the fault duration on a log-log scale, data fell more or less on straight lines for all meander lines. In other words, the voltage applicable to Au/YBCO meander lines on sapphire substrates was inversely proportional to $t^b$, where t is the fault duration and b ranges from 0.4 to 0.5. The results were analyzed quantitatively with the concept of heat balance. Under adiabatic condition, the voltage is to be inversely proportional to $t^{0.5}$ for all samples. Less value of b for some samples is thought to be due to cooling of the samples by liquid nitrogen.

This paper presents a novel prototype of active voltage-clamping capacitor-assisted edge resonant soft switching PWM inverter operating at a constant frequency variable power (VPCF) regulation scheme, which is suitable for consumer high-power induction-heating cooking appliances. New generation IGBT with a trench gate is particularly improved in order to reduce conduction loss due to its lowered saturation voltage characteristics. The soft switching load resonant and quasi-resonant inverter designed distinctively using the latest IGBTs is evaluated from an experimental point of view.

In this paper, a positioning method of distributed power system is proposed to minimize the average voltage variation of a DC microgrid through voltage sensitivity analysis. The voltage sensitivity under a droop control depends on the position of the distributed power system. In order to acquire a precise voltage sensitivity under a droop control, we analyzed the power flow by introducing a droop bus with the considerations of the droop characteristics. The results of the positioning method are verified through PSCAD/EMTDC simulation.
