This paper is a study on inductive superconducting fault current limiter design.. We have created simulation for an imaginery power system with inductive superconducting fault current limiter. Then input variables for characteristic analysis and actual manufacturing, and output variables for design results was assigned. Using the results from these variables, the design criterion was determined which was fed into concept design arising from characteristic analysis to determine the inductance of limiting coil and normal state resistance value of triggering coil. These result was put back into design details to finally give out the design result for inductive superconducting fault current limiter.

Inductive superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) with DC reator rated on 6.6k $V_{rms}$/200 $A_{rms}$ has been developed in Yonsei University. The development of the DC reactor is the key technology in this type SFCL. This paper deals with the fabrication and characteristic test of the DC reactor. For the development of this magnet, the winding machine for high-Tc superconducting solenoid was manufactured. Using this machine, a large-scale HTS solenoid using Bi-2223 tape was fabricated successfully. This coil has 5 layers which are connected in series each other. The inductance of the DC reactor coil is 84mB. The cooling system was the sub-cooled nitrogen whose temperature is about 65K. The characteristic test of the coil was performed. The full quench current of this coil is about 490A.90A.

Implanted telemetry systems provide the ability to monitor different species of animals while they move within their cages. Species monitored include mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, pigs, primates, sheep, horses, cattle, and others. A miniature transmitter implanted in each animal measures one or more parameters. Parameters measured include arterial pressure, intra-pleural pressure, left ventricular pressure, intra-ocular pressure, bladder pressure, ECG, EMG, EEG, EOG, temperature, activity, and other parameters and transmits the data via radio frequency signals to a nearby receiver. Every conventional dedicated transmitter contains one or more sensors, cpu and battery. Due to the expected life of the battery, the measuring time is limited. To overcome these problems, electromagnetic inductive coupling based wireless power transmission technology using multiple transmit coils were proposed, with each coil having a different active area driven by the coil driver. In this research, a parallel resonance based coil driver and serial resonance based coil driver are proposed. From the experiments we see that the parallel coil driver shows better performance under a low impedance and multiple coils configuration. However, the serial coil driver is more efficient for high impedance transmit coils.

토카막(Tokamak)에서는 플라즈마(plasma)로 불순불(impurity)의 유입을 방지하기 위해 고진공을 유지해야 하며 이를 위해 가열탈리(backing), 방전세정(discharge codanning) 등 wall conditioning이 기본적으로 요구된다. KT-1 토카막은 실험실 이전에 따른 해체로 인해 진공용기(vacuum vessel) 가 대기압 하에 수개월 동안 노출되어 있었기 때문에 재조립 후 가열 탈 리가 필수적이나 진공용기의 외부에 saddle loop coil을 비롯해 Rogowski, diamagnetic coil, poloidal field coil 등 많은 magnetic pick up coil 들이 설치되어 있어 열선 등 일반적인 방법으로 가열 탈 리가 어려운 상황이다. 따라서 KT-1 토카막에서는 전자석 코일에 상전원을 부가하였을 때 진공용기에 발생하는 유도가열 (inductive heatin)을 이용해 가열 탈리를 시도하였다. 유도 가열 탈리(inductive backing)는 토로이달 자장 코일(toroidal field coil)과 가열 저장 모일(ohmic heating coil)을 각각 이용하여 코일의 온도가 6$0^{\circ}C$ 이하가 유지되는 코일 전류 범위내에서 수행하였으며 먼저 이 둥 경우에 있어서 진공용기의 온도분포를 비교하엿다. 그리고 가열 탈리 기간 및 그 전, 후의 진공압력과 잔류기체 분압을 측정, 분석하였다. 유도가열에 의한 방법으로 KT-1 토카막에서 얻은 탈리온도는 12$0^{\circ}C$정도로 비교적 낮았으나 탈리 시간을 연장하여 탈리효과를 어느 정도 보상할 수 있으며 일반적인 가열 탈리가 여려운 경우 유도 가열 탈 리가 채택될 수 있는 또 하나의 방법이라 볼 수 있다.

In this paper, performance of rectangular shaped magnetic power pads for inductive power transfer (IPT) system according to ferrite structure is analyzed. In order to evaluate the influences of ferrite structure, six cases of magnetic power pads are proposed. Self-inductance, coupling coefficient, quality factor, and coil to coil efficiency are compared as the displacement increases in the direction of x or y axis. For accurate estimation, finite element method (FEM) simulation is used and loss components of the power pads are numerically calculated and considered. Through the simulation and measured results, effectiveness of protrusive and enveloping ferrite structure is identified.

In this paper, a new structure to improve the resolution of an inductive torque sensor is proposed. The new coupling structure and the change of number of turns for the receiving coil increase the resolution of the torque sensor. Because this torque sensor has non-contact points, it has no abrasion at the contact point, and is very durable. Also, the torque sensor has less variation due to vibration or strain, and it has a good EMC(Electromagnetic Compatibility) and thermal characteristics.

Smart fault current controller (SFCC) proposed in our previous work consists of a power converter, a high temperature superconducting (HTS) DC reactor, thyristors, and a control unit [1]. SFCC can limit and control the current by adjusting firing angles of thyristors when a fault occurs. SFCC has complex structure because the HTS DC reactor generates the loss under AC. To use the DC reactor under AC, rectifier that consists of four thyristors is needed and it increases internal resistance of SFCC. For this reason, authors propose a hybrid type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL). The hybrid type SFCL proposed in this paper consists of a non-inductive superconducting coil and two thyristors. To verify the feasibility of the proposed hybrid type SFCL, simulations about the interaction of the superconducting coil and thyristors are conducted when fault current flows in the superconducting coil. Authors expect that the hybrid type SFCL can control the magnitude of the fault current by adjusting the firing angles of thyristors after the superconducting coil limits the fault current at first peak.

We investigated the structure of inductive coupler and its magnetic coupling to increase the transmission coefficient for power line communication. A Rogowski coil, which is an air-cored inductive coupler, and a magnetic cored coupler were fabricated to analyze the transmission coefficient for different coupler parameters. This paper proposes the impedance matching method using lumped elements and an impedance transformer to increase the transmission coefficient. In the experiment, the transmission coefficient of the proposed system was increased in both narrowband and broadband cases, and a trade-off between the transmission coefficient and the bandwidth was shown. This method will be useful for the further study of impedance matching with the load variation.
