  • 현재 철도는 물류의 운송과 대중교통수단으로 다양하게 활용되고 있다. 또한 친환경적인 면에서 매우 중요한 교통수단으로 각광을 받고 있다. 이에 따라 철도의 안전은 고려해야 할 가장 중요한 부분 중에 하나이다. 특히 철도의 건널목과 역사 내의 플랫폼과 같은 개방된 공간에 대한 안전관리는 매우 중요하다. 개방된 공간에서는 사고발생의 위험요소들이 다수 존재하기 때문에 이러한 위험요소들을 줄이기 위해 열차의 1차적인 통제를 담당하는 기관사와의 상황인식 정보의 공유가 필요하다. 상황인식 정보는 특정 공간에 따라 다양하게 존재할 수 있다. 따라서 OSGi 플랫폼을 사용하여 다양한 상황인식 정보들을 공유하고 활용할 수 있도록 하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다.

  • Recently transmission and distribution power facilities have been often damaged severely by fire which broke out around the facilities in forest. It causes a power failure and thus gives an economic losses to both the public and the power utilities. Sometimes the fire can happen by an electrical accident such as the electrical short circuit or the ground short circuit. In this paper, trend of breaking out the fire has been investigated and an countermeasure against the economic losses due to the fire has been studied.

  • The nuclear power Plant onsite AC electrical power sources are required to supply power to the engineering safety facility buses if the offsite power source is lost. Typically, Diesel Generators are used as the onsite power source. The 125 VAC buses are part of the onsite Class 1E AC and DC electrical power distribution system. The DC power distribution system ensure the availability of DC electrical power for system required to shutdown the reactor and maintain it in a safety condition after an anticipated operational occurrence or a postulated Design Base Accident. Recently, onsite DC power supply system trip occurs the loss of system function. To obtain the performance such as reliability and availability, we analyzed the cause of battery charger trip and described the improvement of DC power supply system reliability. Finally, we provide reliability performance criteria of charger in order to ensure the probabilistic goals for the safety of the nuclear power plants.

  • This paper proposes a simple compensation method for switches of the unclamped voltage in the three-level NPC inverter. Voltages of inner-switches can be unclamped in the three-level NPC (neutral point clamped) inverter. It can cause the problem of the switch fault accident. By adding a capacitor, switches of the unclamped voltage can be clamped. Through the analysis of the circuit, the reason behind switches being unclamped was verified which leads to the solution method that designs a compensation capacitor. The proposed method was validated through the simulation and experimental results.

  • Islanded operation of a microgrid can ensure the reliable operation of the system when a large accident occurs in the main grid. However, because the generation capability of a microgrid is typically limited, a microgrid operator should take islanded operation risk into account in scheduling its generation resources. To address this problem, in this paper we have proposed two unit commitment formulations based on the islanding scenario that reflect the expected and worst-case values of the islanded operation risk. An optimal resource scheduling strategy is obtained for the microgrid operator by solving these optimization problem, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is investigated by numerical simulations.

  • The primary objective of this paper is to examine the capacity of electrical transmission in electric railway according to the type of feeding system. Although supply capacity of railway substation are sufficient and there is no accident, due to the electrical transmission limit of feeding line the voltage breakdown may occur when large capacity of electric load at feeding line exist. So, using multi-port analysis model, we draw P-V curve due to feeding method, load, location and power factor of electric locomotive.

  • Ground connection began by experimenting lightning with the use of a kite and it means electric appliances, communication equipments, measuring instruments and so on connecting the Earth in order to flow away overcharged electricity. There are two kinds of earth connection: Power Ground and Signal Ground. Power Ground is for preventing an electric shock and in general there's no current in the connector. However in an accident, there's a quick flow of electricity out to the Earth. Signal Ground is not only for the safety of appliances but also for the safety of equipment operation. This paper is about connection for noise and interference reduce in order to prevent wrong operation and distortion of signal in the electrical appliances which can take place in cable TV.

  • A detailed study on aged sleeves for old transmission lines was carried out to clarify the deterioration of sleeves and the condition of installation. A lot of removed aged sleeves from transmission lines were investigated. Many biased installed cases and corrosion of steel sleeve part were found. These defects can cause a serious accident such as blackout during operating. The temperature distribution within sleeve of ACSR conductor was precisely measured and examined, conducted as part of series of studies on large currents in transmission lines. According to measurements of the conductor temperature near a joint(sleeve and clamp), the electrical resistance of joint is lower than that of the same length conductor. The detailed results were presented in the text.
