Recently, electric power reliability of our country has been improved. However, there are still remaining problems which are short-duration variations like instantaneous and momentary interruption and voltage sag by nature calamity ; typhoon, lightning, snow, etc. Besides, power quality ; harmonics, caused by using power electronics equipments, become a hot issue Malfunction of controller and stop machinery, and losing the important data are caused by poor power quality at a couple of second. Due to those, UPS, which is made up battery, has being used, but there are several disadvantages ; long charge and discharge time, environmental problem by acid and heavy metal, and short life time. As generally know, micro-SMES is a method to settle those mentioned. However, there need huge system apparatuses in order to verify the effect of system efficiency and stability considering the size of micro-SMES, the sort of converter type, and various conditions ; inner temperature, magnetic field, quench characteristic of micro-SMES, and etc. In this paper, in order to bring the mentioned above to a settlement, a micro-SMES is modeled with characteristics of micro-SMES is interfaced to EMTOC program using Fortran program interface method. We obtained hopeful answers and made the simulation model of micro SMES.

The purpose of this study is to find the causes of malfunctions and defective operation of printed circuit boards(PCBs) built into home refrigerators to perform power saving functions. This study performed an electrostatic test of a PCB built-in using an Auto Triggering system; lightning and impulse tests using an LSS-15AX; and an impulse test using an INS-400AX. From the analysis of a secondarily developed product, it was found that electrostatic discharge(ESD) caused more malfunctions and defective operations than electric overstress(EOS) due to overvoltage. As a result of increasing the condenser capacity of the PCB circuit, withstanding voltage was increased to 7.4 kV. In addition, this study changed the power saving mode and connected a varistor to the #2 pin of an IC chip. As a result, the system consisting of all specimens of a finally developed product was operated stably with an applied voltage of less than 10 kV. This study found it necessary to perform quality control at the manufacturing stage in order to reduce the occurrence of electrostatic accidents to IC chips built into a PCB.

This paper describes a selection and application recommendations of ZnO arresters on DC electric traction vehicles. We measured and analyzed the system voltages applied to arresters and the surge currents flowing arresters on DC electric traction vehicles under operation to decide the Continuous Operating Voltage($U_C$), the Rated Voltage($U_R$), and the Nominal Discharge Current($I_n$). System voltages measured up to 1,800 V during anti-breaking in 1,500 V-system, and surge currents were recorded up to 3 times per running-service-route and their magnitudes were ranges of $150A{\sim}2kA$. From these results and the standard EN50163, we proposed the Continuous Operating Voltage($U_C$) the Rated Voltage($U_R$) for the $1,500V_{dc}$ electric traction vehicles.

As the large-scale renewable energy power plant increases, the high-capacity and compact Energy Storage System (ESS) is required. However, this trend could reduce the insulation reliability of ESS. In this study, the surface flashover characteristics for four types of solid insulators are investigated in the uniform electric field with AC and Lightning Impulse (LI) voltage waveforms under various contamination levels. In addtion, insulator surfaces are compared based on the contact angle before and after surface flashover. The experimental results show that AC flashover voltage is dependent on the materials and the contamination level, but LI flashover voltage is only associated with the contamination level. Especially, AC flashover voltage of PC (PolyCarbonate) is higher than that of other insulators, which is associated with the unique and sequential creepage discharge propagation pattern of PC. The localized discharges on the surface of PC form corresponding tracking points. Then, the interconnected trackings result in the complete flashover. This flashover patterns degrade the surface of PC much more than that of epoxy and Bulk Molding Compoud (BMC). Thus, the contact angle of PC is significantly reduced compared to that of other insulators. The increased hydrophilicity in the surface of PC enhances the insulator surface conductivity.

본 논문에서는 산화아연(이하 ZnO) 피뢰기 열화진행의 한 요인으로 예측되는 전극과 ZnO소자 사이에서 발생하는 방전광 현상에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 $8/20[{\mu}s]$, 최대 10[kA]의 뇌임펄스전류를 발생시키는 뇌임펄스전류 발생장치를 설계${\cdot} $제작하였다. 실험결과, 상${\cdot}$하부의 전극 부근에서 발생하는 방전광의 형상은 인가되는 뇌임펄스의 극성에 따라 다르게 나타났으며 상대적으로 (-)극의 전극부근에서 방전광이 더 강하고 활발하게 발생하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 전극의 면적에 따른 방전광의 세기는 전극의 면적이 증가할수록 감소하는 것으로 관측되었다. 동시에 전극과 소자의 접촉상태도 방전광의 발생과 매우 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 배전급 ZnO피뢰기의 기존 전극구조는 보완이 필요하며 ZnO피뢰기 제품의 성능향상 및 지속적인 성능유지를 위해서는 환형구조 대신 내부면적이 있는 원판구조로 교체하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.

[ $SF_6$ ]gas, which has an excellent dielectric strength and interruption performance, is used in various applications such as gas insulated switchgear (GIS) in substations. However, since $SF_6$ has a high global warming potential (GWP), it is necessary to find an eco-friendly alternative insulation gas. In order to examine the possibility of using alternative insulation gases for $SF_6$ in power distribution system equipment, the dielectric strength and physical phenomena of dry air in a quasi-uniform electric field are investigated experimentally in this paper. As a result, the breakdown voltages for positive polarity are higher than those for negative polarity under impulse voltage applications. The negative 50[%] flashover voltage, $V_{50}$ of dry air under conditions above 0.4[MPa] gas pressure, is higher than 150[kV], that is the basic impulse insulation level of distribution equipment. The $V_{50}$ increases linearly with increasing the gas pressure, regardless of the waveform and polarity of the applied impulse voltages. The voltage-time curves are dependent on the rise time of the impulse voltage and gas pressure. Furthermore, streamer discharge was observed through light emission images by an ICCD camera under impulse voltage applications.

This paper describes the experimental results obtained from various installation conditions of cascaded metal oxide varistor(MOV)-based SPDs with the objectives to analyze the coordination of the cascaded surge protective devices(SPDs) and to propose the proper selection and installation methods of the cascaded SPDs. The residual voltage, discharge current and energy sharing between the upstream and downstream SPDs in the $10/350{\mu}s$ direct lightning current wave were measured and discussed. The coordination of cascaded MOV-based SPDs is closely related to the varistor voltage and installation methods of SPDs. In cascaded SPDs without dedicated decoupling elements, the natural impedance of leads connecting two SPDs can act as a decoupler for the coordination of MOV-based SPDs. Even if the varistor voltage of the upstream SPD is higher than that of the downstream SPD at long distances between two SPDs, the energy coordination of cascaded SPDs could effectively be fulfilled in the conditions of large surge currents and the optimum voltage protection level can be achieved. Consequently, if the distance between voltage limiting type SPDs is long, the coordination of the cascaded SPDs should be determined by taking into account the decoupling effects due to the intrinsic inductance of leads connecting the upstream and downstream SPDs.

접지시스템은 고장전류를 대지로 방출시켜 대지전위상승을 억제하는 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 넓은 주파수 범위에서 접지임피던스를 분석하기 위하여 서지임피던스측정기를 설계 제작하였다. 본 측정기는 서지발생회로, 고속 샘플/홀드회로 및 주변 전자회로로 구성되어 있으며, 서지발생치고는 상승시간 $50ns\sim500ns$ 범위에서 최대 5kV까지 발생시킬 수 있다. 제작한 서지임피던스 측정기는 심타접지극으로 구성된 접지계에서 실질적 평가가 수행되었다. 실험 결과로부터 접지계의 서지임피던스는 인가전압의 상승시간에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내므로, 접지임피던스는 여러가지 고속의 서지파형으로 평가되어야함을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 준평등전계중에서 임펄스전압에 대한 $N_2$가스의 절연파괴특성에 관한 것으로 실험은 1.2/50[${\mu}s$] 표준뇌임펄스전압, 180/2500[${\mu}s$] 개폐임펄스전압과 500[ns]/1[MHz] 급준성 과도과전압이 인가된 전극계에서 이루어졌다. 구-평판 전극의 간격은 14[mm]이고, 전계이용률은 71.2[%]이었으며 가스압력은 0.2~0.6[MPa]범위로 하였다. 그 결과 절연파괴는 스트리머방전에 의하여 일어났으며, 절연파괴전압은 상승시간이 빠른 급준성 과도과전압에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 정극성 절연파괴전압이 부극성보다 높았으며, 정극성의 경우 절연파괴까지의 시간도 더 긴 것으로 나타났다.
