Superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been expected as one of more effective solutions for decreasing fault current instantaneously and various types of SFCLs have been developed to apply into real power system. Recently, the application of the SFCL in a power distribution system has been reported to be contributed to the suppression of the voltage sag as well as the limitation of the fault current. However, the suppressing effect of voltage sag by the SFCL depends on component of its impedance and its application location in a power distribution system considering the recloser-recloser coordination. This paper analyzed the voltage sag caused by recloser-recloser coordination in a power distribution system and the suppression of the voltage sag due to the application location of the SFCL in a power distribution system was discussed through the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation.

The superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) applied into the neural line of a power system, which can limit the unsymmetrical fault current from the single-line ground fault or the double-line ground fault, was reported to be the effective application location of the SFCL in a power system. However, the limiting operation for the symmetrical fault current like the triple line-ground fault is not effective because of properties of the balanced three-phase system. In this paper, the limiting method of the symmetrical fault current in a power system with a SFCL applied into neutral line was suggested. Through the short-circuit experiments of the three-phase fault types for the suggested method, the fault current limiting and recovery characteristics of the SFCL in the neutral line were analyzed and the effectiveness of the suggested method was described.

This paper proposes an indirect fault detection method for an onboard degaussing coil system, installed to reduce the underwater magnetic field from the ferromagnetic hull. The method utilizes underwater field signals measured at specific magnetic treatment facilities instead of using time-consuming numerical field solutions in a three-dimensional space. An equivalent magnetic charge model combined with a material sensitivity formula is adopted to predict fault coil locations. The purpose of the proposed method is to yield reliable data on the location and type of a coil breakdown even without information on individual degaussing coils, such as dimension, location and number of turns. Under several fault conditions, the method is tested with a model ship equipped with 20 degaussing coils.

MOBAS는 규칙적인 모듈로 구성되어 있어 확장이 용이하며, VLSI 구현 시 고집적화 할 수 있고, 각 모듈간에 동기를 맞추기 쉬울 뿐 아니라, 단일 종류의 칩으로 중앙 스위치 구조를 구성할 수 있다. Modified MOBAS(Multicast Output Buffered ATM Switch)는 MOBAS와 유사한 구조를 가지지만 스위치 모듈(SM : Switch Module)의 구조에서 차이를 보이며 적은 스위치소자(SWE : Switch Element)를 사용한다. 위성 통신에서 스위치의 크기뿐 아니라 고장감내 특성도 스위치를 디자인하는데 필요한 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 Modified MOBAS의 고장 특성을 분석하고 이에 적합한 Detection 기법 및 Location 기법을 제안하였다. 또한 스위치 모듈구조를 변형하여 Modified MOBAS에 비해 약간의 스위치 소자를 더 사용하지만 MOBAS에 비해서는 적은 스위치 소자를 사용할 뿐 아니라, MOBAS와 같이 단일 고장 하에서 성능의 저하가 거의 없다.

In this paper, we introduce a new method for detecting and estimating faults on a power line using the time-frequency domain reflectometry system. The system rests upon time-frequency signal analysis and uses a chirp signal which is multiplied by Gaussian envelope. The chirp signal is used as a reference signal, and we can get the reflected signal from a fault on a wire. To detect and estimate faults, we analyze the reflected signal by Wigner time-frequency distribution function and normalized time-frequency cross correlation function. In this paper we design an optimal reference signal for power line and implement a system for estimating fault distance on a power line with the TFDR implemented by PXI equipments. This approach is verified by some experiments with HIV 2.25mm power lines.

This paper proposes a new algorithm of underground cable fault location based on the analysis of distributed parameter circuit. The proposed method firstly makes voltage and current equations for each of cores and sheathes respectively, and then establishes an equation of the fault distance according to the analysis of the fault conditions. Finally the solution of this equation is calculated by Newton-Raphson iteration method. The effectiveness of this proposed algorithm has been proven through PSCAD/EMTDC simulations.

One of the main challenges in personal communication services(PCS ) Is to locate many mobile terminals that nay move from place to place frequently. This kind of system operation is called location management. This task entails sophisticated signaling traffic and database queries. Several strategies have been proposed to improve the efficiency of location management. These strategies use location register databases to store the current locations of mobile terminals, and are vulnerable to failure of the location register databases. In this paper, we propose a fault-tolerant pointer forwarding scheme with distributed home location register in order to tolerate the failure of location registers. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated analytically by simulation, and Is compared with Biaz's bypass forwarding strategy and two-path forwarding strategy.

This paper presents a new two-terminal numerical algorithm for fault location estimation and for faults recognition using the synchronized phasor in time-domain. The proposed algorithm is also based on the synchronized voltage and current phasor measured from the PMUs(Phasor Measurement Units) installed at both ends of the transmission lines. Also the arc voltage wave shape is modeled numerically on the basis of a great number of arc voltage records obtained by transient recorder. From the calculated arc voltage amplitude it can make a decision whether the fault is permanent or transient. In this paper the algorithm is given and estimated using DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) and the LES(Least Error Squares Method). The algorithm uses a very short data window and enables fast fault detection and classification for real-time transmission line protection. To test the validity of the proposed algorithm, the Electro-Magnetic Transient Program(EMTP/ATP) and MATLAB is used.
