This paper deals with pulse multiplication in zigzag connected autotransformer based 12-pulse AC-DC converters feeding vector controlled induction motor drives (VCIMD) for improving the power quality at the point of common coupling (PCC) without using a Zero-Sequence-Blocking-Transformer (ZSBT). The proposed 24-pulse AC-DC converter is based on the principle of DC ripple re-injection technique for pulse multiplication and harmonic mitigation. The design of the autotransformer is carried out for the proposed AC-DC converter and the effect of load variation on VCIMD is also studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed AC-DC converter. Test results from a laboratory developed prototype, along with simulated results, are presented to validate the design and model of the proposed 24-pulse AC-DC converter.

The digital substations are being built based on the IEC 61850 network. The cooperation and protection of power system are becoming more intelligent and reliable in the environment of digital substation. This paper proposes a novel method to prevent the malfunction caused by the Transformer Magnetizing Inrush Current(TMIC) using the IEC 61850 based data sharing between the IEDs. To protect a main transformer, the current differential protection(87T) and over-current protection(50/51) are used generally. The 87T IED applies to the second harmonic blocking method to prevent the malfunction caused by the TMIC. However, the 50/51 IED may malfunction caused by the TMIC. To solve that problem, the proposed method uses a GOOSE inter-lock signal between two IEDs. The 87T IED transmits a blocking GOOSE signal to the 50/51 IED, when the TMIC is detected. The proposed method can make a cooperation of digital substation protection system more intelligent. To verify the performance of proposed method, this paper performs the real time test using the RTDS (Real Time Digital Simulator) test-bed. Using the RTDS, the power system transients are simulated, and the TMIC is generated. The performance of proposed method is verified in real-time using that actual current signals. The reaction of simulated power system responding to the operation of IEDs can be also confirmed.

This paper proposes a 12­pulse diode rectifier system with low kVA components suitable for powering switch mode power supplies or ac/dc converter applications. The proposed 12-pulse system employs a polyphase transformer, a zero sequence blocking transformer (ZSBT) in the dc link, and an interphase transformer. Results produce near equal leakage inductance in series with each diode rectifier bridge ensuring equal current sharing and performance improvements, The utility input currents and the voltage across the ZSBT are analyzed the kVA rating of each component in the proposed system is computed. The 5th , 7th , 17th and 19th harmonics are eliminated in the input line currents resulting in clean input power. The dc link voltage magnitude generated by the proposed rectifier system is nearly identical to a conventional to a conventional 6-pulse system. The proposed system is suitable to retrofit applications as well as in new PWM drive systems. Simulation and experimental results from a 208V , 10kVA system are shown.

An improved bridgeless interleaved boost power factor correction (PFC) rectifier to improve power efficiency and component utilization is proposed in this study. With combined conventional bridgeless PFC circuit and interleaved technology, the proposed rectifier consists of two interleaved and magnetic inter-coupling boost bridgeless converter cells. Each cell operates alternatively in the critical conduction mode, which can achieve the soft-switching characteristics of the switches and increase power capacity. Auxiliary blocking diodes are employed to eliminate undesired circulating loops and reduce current-sensing noise, which are among the serious drawbacks of a dual-boost PFC rectifier. Magnetic component utilization is improved by symmetrically coupling two inductors on a unique core, which can achieve independence from each other based on the auxiliary diodes. Through the interleaved approach, each switch can operate in the whole line cycle. A simple control scheme is employed in the circuit by using a conventional interleaved controller. The operation principle and theoretical analysis of the converter are presented. A 600 W experimental prototype is built to verify the theoretical analysis and feasibility of the proposed rectifier. System efficiency reaches 97.3% with low total harmonic distortion at full load.

화옹(남양만) 방조제 건설에 따른 아산만내 조석의 평균적 변화를 알아보기 위하여 평택 및 안흥의 1993년$\sim$2006년 조석자료중 분석가능한 자료를 조화분석을 통하여 각 분조의 진폭및 지각을 구하여 분석한 결과, 아산만 외해에 위치한 안흥의 반일주조의 진폭은 감소 경향을 보이나, 아산만내 평택의 반일주조의 진폭은 증가하는 현상을 보였으며, 특히 화옹방조제 완공 전후 2002년$\sim$2003년 평택 반일주조의 급격한 증가현상을 보였다. 이는 아산만내의 조석변화가 외해와 무관하게 존재함을 의미하며, 화옹방조제 건설과 관련이 있음을 시사한다. 아산만의 조석변화는 조석 진행방향을 체절한 금강하구언의 경우 또는 'choking effect'를 없앤 영산강 하구언의 반일주조 진폭증가와 달리 만내 방조제 건설로 조석진폭 증가현상이 발생할 수 있음을 시사한다. 완공전에 비하여 완공 후 조석변형 척도 $M_4/M_2$ 비율은 증가하고, $M_2$, $M_4$분조의 지각차는 감소하였다. 따라서, 아산만 조석은 화옹방조제 건설이후 조차의 증가와 창조시간 감소로 인한 창조류 강화로 더 많은 퇴적물의 만내 유입을 유도할 수 있다고 생각된다.

실리카 유리는 매우 우수한 광도파 소재이지만 비선형 광특성이 거의 없다. 그러나 이런 실리카 유리에 금속 전극과 같은 차단전극을 이용하여 강한 전기장을 장시간 가하게 되면 공간 전하 분극이 발생하게 되고 이에 의해 비선형 광특성이 나타나게 된다는 것은 실험적으로 알려져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 전기분극 시 실리카 유리에서 나타나는 비선형 광특성의 경시적인 변화를 공간적인 위치와 시간에 따라 정확히 예측할 수 있는 수치해석적인 모델을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 지금가지 실험들에서 실리카 유리의 비선형 광특성 발생의 원인으로 밝혀진 공간전하분극을 전기분극 기구의 전산모사를 통하여 규명하였다. 비정질 실리카를 전해질 용액과 같은 특성을 지니는 매질로 가정하고 전하운반체가 단지 $Na^{+}$ 밖에 없다는 가정 하에 유한 차분법 (finite difference method)을 이용하였다. 원래의 복잡한 함수들을 표준화 변수들을 이용하여 간단한 식으로 변환하여 $Na^{+}$의 농도와 전기장의 분포를 표준화된 시편의 길이와 인가된 전압의 세기만으로 구할 수 있도록 하였다.
