In this paper, we analyzed the fault current performance in a $high-T_{c}$ superconductor(HTS) which was installed on flux-lock reactor with an external magnetic field coil covering the HTS. In this HTS fault current limiter using flux-lock concepts, the initial limiting current level can be controlled by adjusting the inductance of the coils. Furthermore, the current limiting characteristics of $high-T_{c}$ superconducting FCL can be improved by applying the external magnetic field into the $high-T_{c}$ superconductor. This paper discusses current limiting performance according to the inductance of the coil 1 in two cases with ac magnetic field coil or not and suggests the methods to improve the current limiting factor $P_{limit}$, which is defined as the ratio of the limited current $I_{FCL}$ at the current limiting phase to the prospective short -circuit current $I_{PSC}$.TEX> PSC/.

In this paper, we analyzed the short circuit current of a low voltage direct current distribution system. For the analysis, we performed the modeling of the low voltage direct current distribution system with a 6-pulse three-phase thyristor rectifier using the PSCAD/EMTDC, surveyed impedance of sources, transformers and distribution lines to run a simulation. A result of the simulation is that short circuit currents of the direct current distribution system with the rectifier decreased due to a thyristor-ON-resistance(Ron). But in case of the low thyristor-ON resistance, output fault current of the rectifier increased over three-phase short circuit current of an AC power system without a rectifier by regular ratio of the rectifier. Because the output fault current of the rectifier can increase over interrupting the capacity of circuit breakers, studying short circuit currents of a low voltage direct current distribution system with a rectifier is necessary for introducing the direct current distribution systems.

자속구속형 초전도 한류기는 1차 권선과 초전도 소자가 직렬로 연결된 2차 권선을 갖는 변압기로 구성되어 있다. 이 초전도 한류기는 결선방향에 따라 감.가극 결선으로 나누어진다. 1차 권선과 2차 권선의 인덕턴스 비에 따라 자속구속형 초전도 한류기는 사고전류의 제한특성을 제어할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 인가전압에 따른 자속구속형 초전도 한류기의 전압 전류 특성을 분석하였다. 감 가극 결선된 자속구속형 초전도 한류기의 인가전압을 증가시켰을 때, 초기에 제한되는 전류 및 초전도 소자의 ??치 시간은 증가하였다. 초전도 소자의 회복시간은 인가전압이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 그러므로 자속구속형 초전도 한류기의 회복특성은 초전도 소자의 소비전력이 증가하기 때문에 초전도 소자에서 소비되는 에너지에 크게 의존한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The large AC generator fault may lead to large impacts or perturbations in power system. The generator protection control systems in Korea have been imported and operated through a turn-key from overseas entirely. Therefore a study of the generator protection field has in urgent need for a stable operation of the imported goods. In present, the algorithm using the current ratio differential relaying based DFT for stator winding protection or a fault detection had been applied that of internal fault protection of a generator. the DFT used for the analysis of transient state signal conventionally had defects losing a time information in the course of transforming a target signal to frequency domain. In this paper, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was applied a fault detection of the generator being superior to a transient state signal analysis and being easy to real time realization. The fault signals after executing a terminal fault modeling collect using a MATLAB package, and calculate the wavelet coefficients through the process of a muiti-level decomposition (MLD). The proposed algorithm for a fault detection using the Daubechies WT (wavelet transform) was executed with a C language and the commend line function for the real time realization after analyzing MATLAB's graphical interface. The advanced technique had improved faster a speed of fault discrimination than a conventional DFR based on DFT.

In the steel industry, a steel melting electric arc furnace is used to produce both carbon and alloy steels. Steel scrap which is charged into the furnace is heated by means of electric arc between graphite electrodes and the scrap. In this melting process, current is supplied to the furnace through HCC(high current cable) which connect the furnace and transformer. Four HCCs are assigned to each phase in our system to divide the current. Since a sudden cable breaking result in the shutdown of melting process, an aging detection of HCC is very important for both an improvement of productivity and cost reduction. In this paper, the aging of the HCC is estimated by using the current ratio between four HCCs.

The flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has the attractive characteristics that can adjust the current limiting level by the turns ratio between two coils. Since the recovery characteristics of a superconducting element m the flux-lock type SFCL were dependent on the turns ratio between two coils, the analysis for the recovery characteristics of this type SFCL together with the current limiting characteristic is necessary to apply it to power system. When the applied voltage and load impedance were same, the recovery time of the superconducting element was 0.32sec in case that the turn's ratio between the primary and secondary windings was 63:21. In the meantime, when the turn's ratio of secondary winding increased to 3 times, the recovery time became longer to 0.58sec.

Inrush current and fault current in a transformer need to be distinguished from one another. In order to do this, KEPCO uses a 2nd harmonic restraint/block method. We use two setting values for 2nd harmonic restraint; 15% and 10%. We also apply per-phase blocking method among various harmonic restraint methods. If the transformer is located at the radial system, we adjust 10% in the 2nd harmonic restraint, but this method is not enough to prevent mal-operations of the current differential relay and let us spend more time to change setting value again as the power system changes. In this paper, a more reasonable setting value for a 2nd harmonic blocking scheme in KEPCO is proposed. To present a proposed method, the fault data of the current differential relays which have occurred since 2009 are analyzed. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the results of the RTDS test for the current differential relay of the transformer by KEPCO are analyzed.

The detail simulation modeling of fully-fed induction generator is investigated through PC based MATLAB/Simulink environment. Generator's stator currents are controlled by indirect vector control method. In this method, generator side converter controls the maximum excitation (air gap flux) by stator d-axis current and controls generator torque by stator q-axis current. Induction generator speed is controlled by tip speed ratio (TSR) upon the wind speed variations in order to generate the maximum output power. The generator torque model is specified as a 3-blade wind turbine with rating, then, the model is simulated under normal operating condition and three different fault conditions. The matlab model designed for fully-fed induction generator based wind farm provides good performance under normal and grid fault conditions. It provides good results for different pwm techniques and fault conditions except the single-phase line to ground fault, which should be verified with real time data from wind farms.

Reliability is an essential factor in a navigation system. Therefore, an integrity monitoring system is considered one of the most important parts in an avionic navigation system. A fault due to systematic malfunctioning definitely requires integrity reinforcement through systematic analysis. In this paper, we propose a method to detect faults of the GPS signal by using a distributed nonlinear filter based probability test. In order to detect faults, consistency is examined through a likelihood ratio between the main and auxiliary particle filters (PFs). Specifically, the main PF which includes all the measurements and the auxiliary PFs which only do partial measurements are used in the process of consistency testing. Through GPS measurement and the application of the autonomous integrity monitoring system, the current study illustrates the performance of the proposed fault detection algorithm.
