The application of large power transformer into a power distribution system was inevitable due to the increase of power demand and distributed generation. However, the decrease of the power transformer's impedance caused the short-circuit current of the power distribution system to be increase thus, the higher short-circuit current exceeded the cut-off ratings of the protective devices such as circuit breaker. To solve these problems, several countermeasures have been proposed to protect the power system effectively from higher fault current and the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been expected to be the promising countermeasure. In spite of excellent current limiting performances of the SFCL, on the other hand, the efforts to apply the SFCL into power system has been delayed due to both the limited spaces for the SFCL's installation and its long recovery time after the fault removal. In order to solve these problems, a hybrid SFCL, which can perform either first half cycle limiting of first half cycle non-limiting operation, has been developed by corporation of LSIS (LS Industrial System) and KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation). In this paper, we tried to requirements hybrid SFCL by PSCAD/EMTDC. Simulation results of our analysis of the hybrid SFCL is that its accompanied the characteristics both the limit the fault current and quick recovery caused by the less impact from superconductor.

사용후핵연료 건식저장용기는 낙하사고조건에서 캐니스터의 건전성이 입증되어야 한다. 낙하사고조건은 캐니스터를 건식저장용기에 장입하기 위하여 저장용기의 상부에서 크레인으로 취급하는 도중에 캐니스터가 저장용기 내부의 받침대로 자유 낙하하는 조건이다. 저장용기 내부의 받침대는 이러한 조건에서 캐니스터의 구조적 건전성을 유지하도록 완충효과가 좋아야 한다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 저장용기 내부 받침대 에 대한 3차원 유한요소해석을 통하여 낙하사고조건에서 캐니스터의 구조적 건전성을 향상시킬 수 있는 구조를 결정하였다. 저장용기 내부 받침대는 탄소강으로 만들어진 원통 쉘의 내부에 콘크리트를 장입한 구조와 받침대 높이의 변화 없이 콘크리트 높이의 1/4정도에 탄소강과 폴리우레탄폼을 이용한 구조물을 사용하여 완충효과를 보완하고자 수정된 구조를 고려하였다. 완충체의 형상 및 구조를 결정하기 위하여 십자형상이나 원형의 탄소강 구조물을 받침대 상부에 위치하여 그 영향을 알아보았다. 이때 탄소강 구조물의 두께를 24 mm, 12 mm, 6mm로 변화를 주었다. 또한, 탄소강 구조물 사이에 충진하는 폴리우레탄폼의 밀도에 대한 영향을 알아보았다.

This paper deals with improvements to the special protection schemes (SPS) which have been applied to the low probability and high impact contingencies in the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) system since 2004. Among them, the SPS for voltage instability in the Seoul metropolitan area is considered in this paper, and is a form of event-based undervoltage load shedding with a single-step scheme. Simulation results based upon a recent event that occurred on 765kV lines show that the current setting values of the SPS have to be revised and enhanced. In addition, by applying response-based multi-step undervoltage load shedding (UVLS) schemes to severe contingencies in the system, more effective results than those of the existing single-step SPS can be obtained. Centralized and distributed UVLS schemes are considered in the simulation. ULTC-based load recovery models and over excitation limiters (OXL) for the KEPCO system are also included in the long-term voltage instability studies.

Most hard disk drives that apply the ramp load/unload technology unload the heads at the outer edge of the disk while the disk is rotating. The load/unload includes the benefits as like an increased areal density, a reduced power consumption and an improved shock resistance. A lot of papers investigating the effects of the various load/unload parameters such as a suspension tab, a limiter, a ramp and air-bearing surface designs have been published. However, in previous researches, an effect of the suspension is not considered at each load/unload step. In this paper, we focus that a variation of the state matrix affects the load/unload performance on based on a state matrix that is a stiffness matrix of the suspension. Because the state matrix is related to the suspension at each load/unload step, to change the state matrix means the structural change of the suspension. Therefore, we investigated a range of a pitch static attitude(PSA) and a roll static attitude(RSA) for load/unload performance. We also analyzed an effect of the variation of the state matrix a range of load/unload velocity occurred a slider-disk contact. We determined the variation of the state matrix to improve the load/unload performance through comparison of each factor of state matrix.
