This paper proposes a new FDI(Fault Detection and Isolation) method, which is called EPSA(Extended Parity Space Approach). This method is particularly suitable for fault detection and isolation of the system with one faulty sensor or two faulty sensors. In the system with two faulty sensors, the fault detection and isolation probability may be decreased when two faults are occurred between the sensors related to the large fault direction angle. Nonetheless, the previously suggested FDI methods to treat the two-faults problem do not consider the effect of the large fault direction angle. In order to solve this problem, this paper analyzes the effect of the large fault direction angle and proposes how to increase the fault detection and isolation probability. For the increase the detection probability, this paper additionally considers the fault type that is not detected because of the cancellation of the fault biases by the large fault direction angle. Also for the increase the isolation probability, this paper suggests the additional isolation procedure in case of two-faults. EPSA helps that the user can know the exact fault situation. The proposed FDI method is verified through Monte Carlo simulation.

In this paper, we consider a decentralized observer design problem for fault detection in large-scaled linear time-invariant systems. Since the fault detection residual is desired to be sensitive on the fault, we use the H_ index performance criterion. Sufficient conditions for the existence of such an observer is presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The introduction of the large transformer due to the large power demand has increased the fault current in power distribution system. The increased fault current can exceed the cut-off ratings of the circuit breaker. As the methods to solve this problem, the superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) has been notified. However, the limited fault current by SFCL affects the operational characteristics of the protective device such as overcurrent relay. Therefore, the selection of the proper impedance for the SFCL is required to keep overcurrent relay's protective coordination with the SFCL when a large transformer is introduced into the distribution system. In this paper, the SFCL's impedance for protective coordination was investigates in that a large transformer is introduced.

The increase of fault current due to large demand has caused the capacity of power machines in power grid to increase. To protect the power system effectively from the large fault current, several superconducting fault current limiters have been proposed. however, in order to apply superconducting fault current limiters into power system, there are many problems such as cost, recovery, AC loss, and cryogenic. In order to solve these problems, hybrid superconducting fault current limiter(HSFCL) was proposed. In this paper, we modeled hybrid superconducting fault current limiter using PSCAD/EMTDC and analyed fault current limiting characteristic and total resistance of hybrid superconducting fault current limiter.

This paper proposes a protection algorithm for a wind turbine generator (WTG) in a large wind farm. To minimize the outage section, a protection relay for a WTG should operate instantaneously for an internal fault or a connected feeder fault, whereas the relay should not operate for an internal fault of another WTG connected to the same feeder or an adjacent feeder fault. In addition, the relay should operate with a delay for an inter-tie fault or a grid fault. An internal fault of another WTG connected to the same feeder or an adjacent feeder fault, where the relay should not operate, is determined based on the magnitude of the positive sequence current. To differentiate an internal fault or a connected feeder fault from an inter-tie fault or a grid fault, the phase angle of the negative sequence current is used to distinguish a fault type. The magnitude of the positive sequence current is then used to decide either instantaneous operation or delayed operation. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified under various fault conditions with EMTP-RV generated data. The results indicate that the algorithm can successfully distinguish instantaneous operation, delayed operation, or non-operation depending on fault positions and types.

This study utilizes large-scale shake table test to investigate the seismic performance of an isolated bridge with lead rubber bearings crossing an active fault. Two transverse restraining systems with and without shear keys are tested by applying spatially varying ground motions. It is shown that the near-fault span exhibits larger bearing displacement than the crossing-fault span. Bridge piers away from the fault rupture are more vulnerable than those adjacent to the fault rupture by attracting more seismic demand. It is also verified that the shear keys are effective in restraining the bearing displacement on the near-fault span, particularly under the large permanent ground displacement.

Large generator of power plant is very important. In order to protect large generator from faults, digital protective relay or IED is required. However, all protective relays for generators of the domestic power plant are operated by foreign products. And now, for technological independence from foreign and improvement of import substitution effect, IEDs using domestic technology are being developed. To evaluate performance of developing next-generation power devices, the study of the dynamic characteristics of the power plant, generator system modeling, fault simulation and analysis, should be considered. Specially, To obtain IEEE Standards COMTRADE format for relay operation test, generator system modeling and fault simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC tools must be preceded. Until now, a complete modeling of generator internal windings and fault simulation techniques dose not exist. In this paper, for evaluation performance of relay elements of developing IED, the generator system modeling and various faults simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC tools were performed. And then, the various transient phenomena through obtained relaying signal of developed modeling were analyzed.

Large earthquakes with (M_W > ~ 6) result in ground shaking, surface ruptures, and permanent deformation with displacement. The earthquakes would damage important facilities and infrastructure such as large industrial establishments, nuclear power plants, and waste disposal sites. In particular, earthquake ruptures associated with large earthquakes can affect geological and engineered barriers such as deep geological repositories that are used for storing hazardous radioactive wastes. Earthquake-driven faults and surface ruptures exhibit various fault zone structural characteristics such as direction of earthquake propagation and rupture and asymmetric displacement patterns. Therefore, estimating the respect distances and hazardous areas has been challenging. We propose that considering multiple parameters, such as fault types, distribution, scale, activity, linkage patterns, damage zones, and respect distances, enable accurate identification of the sites for deep geological repositories and important facilities. This information would enable earthquake hazard assessment and lower earthquake-resulted hazards in potential earthquake-prone areas.

울산광역시 매곡동 일대에서 새롭게 발견된 단층대의 기하학적, 운동학적 특성 및 제4기 단층운동에 대해 알아보고자 야외조사를 통한 지질구조분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 퇴적암이 분포하는 첫 번째 조사지점에서는 100 m 내외의 절취사면을 따라 반복층서, 소규모 단층, 단열대, 변형띠대 등이 연속적으로 관찰되고 있어, 이 지점은 대규모 단층의 손상대에 속하는 것으로 해석된다. 한편 주로 화강암 암편으로 구성된 쇄설성 퇴적층이 분포하는 두 번째 조사지점에서는 저각의 경사를 보이는 여러 조의 단층이 서로 분지 또는 결합하는 형태로 발달하고 있어 대규모 역단층이 발달하는 것으로 판단된다. 이 단층의 단층비지 내에 포함된 유기물의 방사성탄소연대에 기초해 추론된 단층의 최후기 운동시기는 33,275 ± 355년 전 이후로 제한된다. 이번 조사에서 확인된 단층대의 손상대 규모, 운동감각, 운동시기 등은 이 단층대가 연구지역 인근의 대규모 신기단층으로 알려진 울산단층 또는 연일구조선과 밀접한 관련이 있음을 시사한다. 따라서 연구지역 일대에 조성 중인 산업단지와 아파트를 비롯한 여러 시설물에 대한 지진 및 지질학적 안정성을 확보하고 이 지역에서의 지질재해에 대비하기 위해서는 보다 정밀한 구조지질학 및 고지진학 관점에서 이 단층에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

암반내 존재하는 단층은 암반의 거동에 미치는 영향이 매우 크기 때문에 암반사면, 터널과 같은 암반구조물의 설계 및 시공에 있어서 단층특성에 대한 조사는 무엇보다 중요하다 할 수 있다. 그러나 설계단계에서 이러한 특성을 파악하기에 한계가 있기 때문에 시공중 막장관찰과 추가지반조사를 통하여 터널주변에 존재하는 단층의 분포 및 공학적 특성에 대하여 조사하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 운모편암지역에서의 대단면 터널 공사중 설계시 파악되지 않은 대규모 스러스트 단층대가 확인됨에 따라, 단층대의 특성을 규명하기 위하여 다양한 지질조사 및 현장시험을 실시하였다. 이러한 지반조사결과를 바탕으로 단층의 성인, 구조지질적 분포특성 및 단층암의 공학적 특성을 파악하였으며, 단층대 통과구간에서 안전하게 터널을 굴착할 수 있도록 합리적인 지보 및 보강대책을 수립하였다.
