This article reviews the recent activities of field testing and application of superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) based on high-temperature superconductors (HTS). The review particularly focuses on the trends in the field tests in terms of the technical aspects and commercial activities of the SFCLs. Stimulated by the discovery of HTS, numerous research and development activities have been conducted worldwide for SFCLs operating from distribution voltages to transmission voltages. Different types of SFCLs have been developed and field-tested. Consequently, more than 20 field tests and applications have been performed on real grids worldwide while supplying electric power to the customers. These field tests have not only provided the track records of the operation experiences including the problems and maintenance during operation, but also proved their current limiting capabilities against real faults, rendering this new technology highly viable. Through these activities, the following trends in the status of field testing and application are observed. Resistive-type SFCLs with HTS-coated conductors were dominantly used in the most recent field tests. This implies that the resistive type is technically more mature than the other types. Bus-bar coupling and transformer feeders were the major application locations. It is of importance that most of the field applications were conducted as R&D projects. A relevant change from the R&D stage to the application stage is shown as recently deployed SFCLs are expected to be under long-term operation and commercial service. Here, we review the installation of these SFCLs by substation. This review also discusses the recent activities for their commercial applications.

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers the highest security per bit among the known public key cryptosystems. The operation of ECC is based on the arithmetic of the finite field. This paper presents the design of a 193-bit finite field multiplier and an inversion unit based on a normal basis representation in which the inversion and the square operation units are easy to implement. This scalable multiplier can be constructed in a variable structure depending on the performance area trade-off. We implement it using Verilog HDL and a 0.35 ${\mu}m$ CMOS cell library and verify the operation by simulation.

The purpose of this paper is to find the magnetic field distribution inside the motor in order to find out if the high-Tc superconducting tapes operate stably in actual motor operation. With this gola, magnetic field distribution in a detailed model of the actual motor was analyzed through F.E.M. (Finite Element Method). As a result, it has been proved that the high-Tc superconducting tapes can withstand 4 A of current with stability. 4 A was the amount of current needed to achieve 600 A ·turns which is required by the previous simulation aimed at developing this motor. Also, it has been observed that the flux damper reduces armature reactance during the motor operation and during load changes, helping the stable motor operation. But, it was observed that the flux damper generates loss by means of leakage flux and this decreases the output of the motor by about 5%.

In this paper, dynamic path planning of two mobile robots using a modified Hopfield neural network is studied. An area which excludes obstacles and allows gradually changing of activation level of neurons is derived in each step. Next moving step can be determined by searching the next highest activated neuron. By learning repeatedly, the steps will be generated from starting to goal points. A path will be constructed from these steps. Simulation showed the constructed paths of two mobile robots, which are moving across each other to their goals.

This paper discusses the control of generator field using dual IGBT PWM regeneration method to target brushless synchronous generator. If one of PWM bridges happens to fault, it transfers automatically and can be in charge of full load. Also it has an advantage of the operation which UPS connected in parallel with PWM bridge can supply power to excitation system in condition of main power loss. This PWM system supplies field current to generator in one quadrature operation, regenerates field coil energy to main power supplier in four quadrature operation. We designed, manufactured and applied the first trial product at J-power plant.

For the conventional DC machine, the armature MMF is negligible compared with field MMF except when the machine is under heavy load or transient conditions. During the motor starting or reversal, the transient armature current and corresponding MMF effect the flux density of each pole in the machine magnetic circuit. However, the circuit flux density is restored to normal values by the field winding MMF after the transient armature current dies in an electromagnetic DC motor. Permanent magnet servomotor have no field windings about the circuit poles to restore circuit flux density through the demagnetized part of each pole after the transient armature MMF dies, and portions of the magnetic circuit stay permanently demagnetized. Thus the problem of stabilizing a magnet pole piece under the influence of the transient armature current need attentions. This work present the recoil operation of the servomotor with PM poles in conjunctions with the influence of the armature reaction effect. The development of an analytical and quantatative study is presented for predicting the regime of the recoil operation under this condition.

This paper describes the general considerations and operational applications of aircraft night vision goggle(NVG). The operators should recognize the NVG characteristics, natural night light sources and interoperability between them. And they have to keep attention to the method to take steps to avoid misperceptions, illusions during flight, and the negative impact on the effectiveness and safety of the mission. The considerations based on the interoperability between NVG and night operation suggest the evaluation items of NVG field test and flight test.

In this paper, a new approach for the SynRM(Synchronous Reluctance Motor) control which ensures producing MTPA(Maximum Torque per Ampere) over the entire field weakening region is presented. In addition, this paper presents a speed sensorless control scheme of SynRM using flux observer. Also, by adjusting the base speed for the field weakening operation according to the flux level, the current and voltage limit, the smooth and precise transition into the field weakening operation can be achieved. The validity of the proposed scheme is verified through simulation.

In this paper we numerically approximated the field-effect mobility of a-Si:H TFT. Field-effect mobility, based on the charge-trapping model and new effective capacitance model in our study, used Chebyshev approximation was approximated as the function of gate potential(gate-to-channel voltage). Even though various external factors are changed, this formula can be applied by choosing the characteristic coefficients without any change of the approximation formula corresponding to each operation region. Using new approximated field-effect mobility formula, the dependences of field-effect mobility on materials and thickness of gate insulator, thickness of a-Si bulk, and operation temperature in inverted staggered-electrode a-Si:H TFT were estimated. By this was the usefulness of new approximated mobility formula proved.

A cellular array multiplier for performing the multiplication of two elements in the finite field GF($2^m$) is presented in this paper. This multiplier is consisted of three operation part ; the multiplicative operation part, the modular operation part, and the primitive irreducible polynomial operation part. The multiplicative operation part and the modular operation part are composed by the basic cellular arrays designed AND gate and XOR gate. The primitive iirreducible operation part is constructed by XOR gates, D flip-flop circuits and a inverter. The multiplier presented here, is simple and regular for the wire routing and possesses the properties of concurrency and modularity. Also, it is expansible for the multiplication of two elements in the finite field increasing the degree m and suitable for VLSI implementation.
