A power frequency magnetic field reduction method using passive loop is presented. This method can be used to reduce magnetic fields generated within the restricted area near transmission lines by alternating current overhead transmission lines. A reduction algorithm is described and related equations for magnetic field reduction are explained. The proposed power frequency magnetic field reduction method is applied to a scaled-down transmission line model. The lateral distribution of reduction ratio between magnetic fields before and after passive loop installation is calculated to evaluate magnetic field reduction effects. Calculated results show that the passive loop can be used to cost-effectively reduce power frequency magnetic fields in the vicinity of transmission lines generated by overhead transmission lines, compared with other reduction methods, such as active loop, increase in transmission line height, and power transmission using underground cables.

Increased fossil fuel consumption causes global warming, environmental pollution, and abnormal climate change. Wind-generated power installation is proposed to solve this problem. Recently, the wind power plant construction case encourages the installation of the energy storage system (ESS) to improve the intermittency of wind power. The maximized ESS operation profits connected to wind power are not generated in the simplest operation pattern of charging at night and discharging at day. The battery charging efficiency improvement should be considered to get more profits. Thus, there is a possibility of increasing ESS operation profits by analyzing the battery AC and DC charging/discharging efficiency and the yearly average sealed maintenance free (SMP) in hours. In this paper, the battery impedance characteristic, AC and DC charging/discharging efficiency, and the yearly average SMP are analyzed. The operation scenario to improve the ESS battery charging efficiency connected to wind power is proposed and verified via simulation.

Accurate forecasting of wind power is important for grid operation. Wind power has intermittent and nonlinear characteristics, which increases the uncertainty in wind power generation. In order to accurately predict wind power generation with high uncertainty, it is necessary to analyze the factors affecting wind power generation. In this paper, 6 factors out of 11 are selected for more accurate wind power generation forecast. These are wind speed, sine value of wind direction, cosine value of wind direction, local pressure, ground temperature, and history data of wind power generated.

본 논문에서는 quadrature hybrid coupler를 사용하여 위상 변조 신호를 발생 할 수 있는 간단한 회로를 해석한다. 90o 위상차를 갖는 coupler 출력 단자의 반사 계수를 이용하여 일정한 위상 출력 값을 갖는 위상 변조 신호를 발생시키며, quadrature hybrid coupler와 지연 소자 그리고 전력 결합기 등 제안 구조를 사용하여 고차 PSK 신호를 발생할 수 있다. 하나의 90o hybrid coupler와 반사 소자에 의해 180o 위상차를 갖는 간단한 BPSK 신호 발생회로와 부가적인 지연 소자 및 전력 결합기에 의해 90o 위상차를 갖는 QPSK 신호를 발생한다. 모의 성능 실험 결과 3o 이내의 위상차를 갖는 양호한 PSK 신호 특성을 나타내었다.

The increase of power capacity in the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is essential for application into the power grid. To achieve this, when superconducting units were connected in series and parallel, the unbalanced quenching characteristics between superconducting units generated by different critical current behavior should be improved. In the transformer-type SFCL, the superconducting units connected in series could be simultaneously quenched by the connection of neutral lines between secondary coils and superconducting units. From this the consumed power in superconducting units was equally distributed. In addition, the more the turn ratio of the transformer was reduced, the more consumed power in the superconducting units was reduced by the decrease of the induction voltage generated in the superconducting units. From those results, the transformer-type SFCL using neutral lines could increase the power capacity of the SFCL by the equal power division into the superconducting units.

A hybrid system that uses a parallel combination of wind turbine and fuel cell is modeled. Wind energy source is characterized by its intermittent and variable nature. The output power generated by the fuel cell is stable and can be properly controlled. Therefore, fuel cell system can be added to the wind turbine system for the purpose of ensuring continuous power flow. Fuel cell helps to compensate power and regulate the frequency in power system. Simulation results show the effect of the hybrid system on power regulation. The excess power generated by the wind turbine was directed to an electrolyzer to generate hydrogen and the power deficit was compensated by the fuel cell.

Base-isolated nuclear power plant (BI-NPP) structures are founded on expanded basemat as a flexible floating nuclear island, are still lacking the recommendation of the consideration of incoherent motion effect. The effect of incoherent earthquake motion on the seismic response of BI-NPP structure has been investigated herein. The incoherency of the ground motions is applied by using an isotropic frequency-dependent spatial correlation function to perform the conditional simulation of the reference design spectrum compatible ground motion in time domain. Time history analysis of two structural models with 486 and 5 equivalent lead plug rubber bearing (LRB) base-isolators have been done under uniform excitation and multiple point excitation. two different cases have been considered: 1) Incoherent motion generated for soft soil and 2) Incoherent motion generated for hard rock soil. The results show that the incoherent motions reduce acceleration and the lateral displacement responses and the reduction is noticeable at soft soil site and higher frequencies.

An application of wavelet analysis to power system transient generated signals is presented in this paper. With the time-frequency localisation characteristics embedded in wavelets, the time and frequency information of a waveform can be presented as a visualised scheme. This feature is very important for non-stationary signals analysis such as the ones generated from power system disturbances. Unlike the Fourier transform, the wavelet transform approach is more efficient in monitoring fault signals as time varies. For time intervals where the function changes rapidly, this method can zoom in on the area of interest for better visualisation of signal characteristics.

One of the main problems concerning the shallow seismic survey is how to generate high frequency signals with large amplitudes using small seismic sources. If one could focus the seismic energy in the direction of the survey line, it will be much helpful in identifying the first break. In this research, we have used hammer as an impulsive source and compared the signal powers generated by different shapes of the hammer plates: circular, square, and rectangular. The experiment was conducted by calculating the power spectral density function to compare the frequency spectrum and signal power. In the direction perpendicular to the long side of the rectangular plate, the largest seismic energy with the highest frequency was achieved even with the same weights of hammer plates. Our conclusion is that it is more efficient to use a rectangular plate than a circular (or square) one when conducting a 2-D shallow seismic survey.
