국내의 전력계통은 급격한 산업화와 급속적인 경제발전으로 산업시설 및 대도시 인구 밀집지역의 전력수요가 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 전력 사용량의 증가는 각종 전력설비들의 증설을 필요로 하고 있지만 도심지의 경우는 제한된 공간에 설비 증설의 공간확보에도 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 또한, 국내 154[kV]나 345[kV]의 송전계통의 구조는 송전거리가 짧고, 전력공급 신뢰성과 안정도 향상을 위해 서로 네트워크화 되어있다. 이러한 구조는 전력계통 사고발생시 임피던스 감소를 야기시키고 단락사고에 의한 사고 전류의 크기를 점점 증가시키고 있다. 이와 같은 기존방식의 문제들을 효과적으로 해결하기 위한 방안으로 고안된 것이 초전도 한류기이다. 초전도 한류기는 사고 전류에 대한 빠른 동작 및 회복시간과 별도의 사고 감지장치를 불필요하며 신개념의 보호기기이며 환경 친화적인 장점 때문에 국 내외적으로 많은 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다 본 논문에서는 결선방법에 따라 초기사고전류특성, 전류제한특성, 사고각, 인덕턴스 변화에 따른 전류제한 특성을 다각적인 방법으로 분석하였다.

이 논문에서는 안정대륙권역(Stable Continental Regions, SCRs)에서의 중규모 지진에 의한 근단층지반운동(Near Fault Ground Motion, NFGM) 모델을 처음으로 제시한다. 근단층지반운동은 큰 진폭의 장주기 속도 펄스를 갖는 특징을 가지고 있다. 이 속도 펄스를 모델링하기 위해서는 그 주기와 진폭을 지진의 규모와 단층거리의 함수로 표현할 수 있어야 한다. 그런데 안정대륙권역에서는 관측 자료가 빈약하여 지진데이터로부터 이 관계식을 직접 유도하는 것은 어렵기 때문에 이 연구에서는 간접적인 접근법을 채택하였다. 속도 펄스의 주기와 진폭은 단층파열의 상승시간과 파열속도의 함수임이 알려져 있고 활성구조권역(Active Tectonic Regions, ATRs)에 속하는 미국 서부지역에서는 실험적 공식이 확립되어 있다. 안정대륙권역에서의 상승시간과 단층파열속도의 지진규모에 대한 함수관계는 WUS와 CEUS에서의 자료를 비교하여 도출하였다. 이 관계식들로부터 안정대륙권역에서의 NFGM의 속도 펄스의 주기와 진폭을 지진규모 및 단층 거리에 대한 관계식으로 유도하였다. 안정대륙권역에서의 NFGM의 가속도 시간이력은 추계학적으로 생성된 원역지진지반가속도에 새로운 관계식에 의한 속도 펄스를 중첩하여 얻어진다. 적용 예제로서 탄소성 단자유도 시스템의 근단층지반운동에 대한 응답을 분석하였다.

Cognitive Radio (CR) has been recently proposed as a promising technology to remedy the problems of spectrum scarcity and spectrum underutilization by enabling unlicensed users to opportunistically utilize temporally unused licensed spectrums in a cautious manner. In Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks (CRAHNs), data routing is one of the most challenging tasks since the channel availability and node mobility are unpredictable. Moreover, the network performance is severely degraded due to large numbers of path failures. In this paper, we propose the Fault-Tolerant Cognitive Ad-hoc Routing Protocol (FTCARP) to provide fast and efficient route recovery in presence of path failures during data delivery in CRAHNs. The protocol exploits the joint path and spectrum diversity to offer reliable communication and efficient spectrum usage over the networks. In the proposed protocol, a backup path is utilized in case a failure occurs over a primary transmission route. Different cause of a path failure will be handled by different route recovery mechanism. The protocol performance is compared with that of the Dual Diversity Cognitive Ad-hoc Routing Protocol (D2CARP). The simulation results obviously prove that FTCARP outperforms D2CARP in terms of throughput, packet loss, end-to-end delay and jitter in the high path-failure rate CRAHNs.

In recent times, multilevel inverters are given high priority in many large industrial drive applications. However, the reliability of multilevel inverters are mainly affected by the failure of power electronic switches. In this paper, open-switch and short-switch failure of multilevel inverters and its identification using a high performance diagnostic system is discussed. Experimental and simulation studies were carried out on five level cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverter and its output voltage waveforms were analyzed at different switch fault cases and at different modulation index values. Salient frequency domain features of the output voltage signal were extracted using the discrete wavelet transform multi resolution signal decomposition technique. Real time application of the proposed fault diagnostic system was implemented through the LabVIEW software. Artificial neural network was trained offline using the Matlab software and the resultant network parameters were transferred to LabVIEW real time system. In the proposed system, it is possible to precisely identify the individual faulty switch (may be due to open-switch (or) short-switch failure) of multilevel inverters.

Recently, DC systems are considered as efficient electric power systems for renewable energy based clean power generators. This discloses several critical issues that are required to be considered before the installation of the DC systems. First of all, voltage/current switching stress, which is aggravated by large fault current, might damage DC circuit breakers. This problem can be simply solved by applying a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) as proposed in this study. It allows a simple use of insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) as a DC circuit breaker. To evaluate the proposed resistive type SFCL application to the DC circuit breaker, a DC distribution system is composed of the practical line impedances from the real distribution system in Do-gok area, Korea. Also, to reflect the distributed generation (DG) effects, several DC-to-DC converters are applied. The locations and sizes of the DGs are optimally selected according to the results of previous studies on DG optimization. The performance of the resistive type SFCL applied DC circuit breaker is verified by a time-domain simulation based case study using the power systems computer aided design/electromagnetic transients including DC (PSCAD/ EMTDC(R)).

Buckling-restrained braces are passive control devices with high level of energy dissipation ability. However, they suffer from low post-yield stiffness which makes them vulnerable to severe ground motions, especially near-field earthquakes. Among the several methods proposed to improve resistance of BRB frames, mega-brace configuration can be a solution to increase frame lateral strength and stiffness and improve distribution of forces to prevent large displacement in braces. Due to the limited number of research regarding the performance of such systems, the current paper aims to assess seismic performance of BRB frames with mega-bracing arrangement under near-field earthquakes via a detailed probabilistic framework. For this purpose, a group of multi-story mega-BRB frames were modelled by OpenSEES software platform. In the first part of the paper, simplified procedures including nonlinear pushover and Incremental Dynamic Analysis were conducted for performance evaluation. Two groups of near-fault seismic ground motions (Non-pulse and Pulse-like records) were considered for analyses to take into account the effects of record-to-record uncertainties, as well as forward directivity on the results. In the second part, seismic reliability analyses are conducted in the context of performance based earthquake engineering. Two widely-known EDP-based and IM-based probabilistic frameworks are employed to estimate collapse potential of the structures. Results show that all the structures can successfully tolerate near-field earthquakes with a high level of confidence level. Therefore, mega-bracing configuration can be an effective alternative to conventional BRB bracing to withstand near-field earthquakes.

Superstructures and isolation systems of seismically isolated buildings located close to active faults may observe increased seismic demands resulting from long-period and high-amplitude velocity and displacement pulses existent in near-fault ground motions as their fundamental periods may be close to or coincident with these near-fault pulse periods. In order to take these effects into account, the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC97) has specified near-source factors that scale up the design spectrum depending on the closest distance to the fault, the soil type at the site, and the properties of the seismic source. Although UBC97 has been superseded by the 2015 International Building Code in the U.S.A., UBC97 near-source factors are still frequently referred in the design of seismically isolated buildings around the world. Therefore it is deemed necessary and thus set as the aim of this study to assess the necessity and the adequacy of near-source factors for seismically isolated buildings. Benchmark buildings of different heights with isolation systems of different properties are used in comparing seismic responses obtained via time history analyses using a large number of historical earthquakes with those obtained from spectral analyses using the amplified spectrums established through UBC97 near-source factors. Results show that near-source factors are necessary but inadequate for superstructure responses and somewhat unconservative for base displacement response.

Digital technology has advanced significantly over the years both in terms of software tools and hardware availability. It is now applied extensively throughout many area of electrical engineering including protective relaying in power systems. Digital relays have numerous advantages over traditional analog relays, such as the ability to accomplish what is difficult or impossible using analog relays. Although non real-time simulators like PSCAD/EMTDC are employed to test the algorithms, such simulations are disadvantaged in that they cannot test the relay dynamically. Hence, real-time simulators like RTDS are used. However, the latter requires large space and is very expensive. This paper uses EMTP MODELS to simulate the power system and the distance relay. The distance relay algorithm is implemented and the distance relay is interfaced with a test power system. The distance relay's performance is then assessed interactively under various fault types, fault distances and fault inception angles. The test results show that we can simulate the distance relay effectively and we can examine the operation of the distance relay very closely including its drawbacks/limitations by using EMTP MODELS. Equally important, this approach facilitates any changes that need to be carried out in order to enhance the Distance Relay under test/examination.
