Phase to ground faults are possibly one of the maximum number of faults in power distribution system. During a ground fault the maximum fault current and neutral to ground voltage will appear at the pole nearest to the fault. Distribution lines are consisted of three phase conductors, an overhead ground wire and a multigrounded neutral line. In this paper phase to neutral faults were staged at the specified concrete pole along the distribution line and measured the ground fault current distribution in the ground fault current, three poles nearest to the fault point, overhead ground wire and neutral line. A simplified equivalent circuit model for the distribution system under case study calculated by using MATLAB gives results very close to the ground fault current distribution yielded by field tests.

3산 전력 시스템에서 불평형 전원의 전압은 대칭좌표법에 의하여 정상, 역상, 영상성분으로 각각 분해 될 수 있고 또한 전력 시스템에 중성선이 없는 경우 영상성분은 부하측에 나타나지 않게 된다. 따라서 중성선이 없는 불평형 시스템에서는 전원측의 역상성분만을 검출하여 보상함으로써 부하측에 평형된 전압을 공급할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 정상성분의 크기를 제어함으로써 부하에 인가되는 전압의 크기를 조정하는 것이 가능하다. 아울러 이러한 불평형 전압에 의한 각 대칭분은 3상 2상 변환을 통한 동기좌표축상에서의 효율적인 검출이 가능한데, 본 논문에서는 전원의 불평형 성분을 동기좌표축 상에서 순시적으로 검출하여 이를 보상하고 부하의 전압조정 기능 역시 수행하는 순간전압보상기의 보상 알고리즘 및 이때 좌표변환시 필요한 전원의 위상각 정보를 전원의 정상성분에 일치시키는 새로운 위상각 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 보상 시스템의 성능 및 특성을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 해석하고 실험으로써 검증하였다.

A prototype long pulse ion source was developed, and the beam extraction experiments of the ion source were carried out at the Neutral Beam Test Stand (NBTS) of the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR). The ion source consists of a magnetic bucket plasma generator, with multi-pole cusp fields, and a set of tetrode accelerators with circular apertures. Design requirements for the ion source were a 120kV/65A deuterium beam and a 300 s pulse length. Arc discharges of the plasma generator were controlled by using the emission-limited mode, in turn controlled by the applied heating voltage of the cathode filaments. Stable and efficient arc plasmas with a maximum arc power of 100 kW were produced using the constant power mode operation of an arc power supply. A maximum ion density of $8.3{\times}10^{11}\;cm^{-3}$ was obtained by using electrostatic probes, and an optimum arc efficiency of 0.46 A/kW was estimated. The accelerating and decelerating voltages were applied repeatedly, using the re-triggering mode operation of the high voltage switches during a beam pulse, when beam disruptions occurred. The decelerating voltage was always applied prior to the accelerating voltage, to suppress effectively the back-streaming electrons produced at the time of an initial beam formation, by the pre-programmed fast-switch control system. A maximum beam power of 0.9 MW (i.e. $70\;kV{\times}12.5\;A$) with hydrogen was measured for a pulse duration of 0.8 s. Optimum beam perveance, deduced from the ratio of the gradient grid current to the total beam current, was $0.7\;{\mu}perv$. Stable beams for a long pulse duration of $5{\sim}10\;s$ were tested at low accelerating voltages.

본 논문은 NPC 인버터(Neutral-point-clamped ye티or) 시스템을 구성하는 스위칭 소자의 개방성 고장이 발생하였을 경우 인버터 시스템의 고장 제어를 위한 새로운 고장 검출 방법을 제안하였다. 고장 스위치의 검출은 NPC 인버터 각상의 폴-전압을 이용하여 수행되며, 고장 검출 이후 연속적인 평형 3상 전력을 출력하기위해 NPC 인버터는 2상 운전 시스템으로 재구성된다. 인버터 시스템의 신뢰성 향상을 위하여 고장 검출과 시스템 재구성을 통한 고장 허용 제어를 구현하였다. 제안된 고장 검출 방법은 기존 방법보다 빠른 검출 시간을 가지며 간단한 알고리즘으로서 구현이 용이하다는 장점을 갖는다. 빠른 고장 검출 능력은 고장 검출 시간의 지연에서 올 수 있는 직류-링크 커패시터의 전압 불평형 문제, 다른 스위치의 전압 스트레스 증가로 인한 소자 파괴와 같은 악영향을 개선시킬 수 있다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 입증하기 위하여 시뮬레이션과 실험을 수행하였다.

This paper proposes a fault-tolerant control strategy with finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) based on hierarchical optimization for five-level H-bridge neutral-point-clamped (5L-HNPC) inverter-fed induction motor drives. Fault-tolerant operation is analyzed, and the fault-tolerant control algorithm is improved. Adopting FCS-MPC based on hierarchical optimization, where the voltage is used as the controlled objective, called model predictive voltage control (MPVC), the postfault controller is simplified as a two layer control. The first layer is the voltage jump limit, and the second layer is the voltage following control, which adopts the optimal control strategy to ensure the current following performance and uniqueness of the optimal solution. Finally, simulation and experimental results verify that 5L-HNPC inverter-fed induction motor drives have strong fault tolerant capability and that the FCS-MPVC based on hierarchical optimization is feasible.

This paper presents a pulse-width modulation strategy to eliminate the common mode voltage (CMV) with reduced CMV spikes in multilevel inverters since a high CMV magnitude and its fast variations dv/dt result in bearing failure of motors, overvoltage at motor terminals, and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The proposed method only utilizes the zero CMV states in a space vector diagram and it is implemented by a carrier-based pulse-width modulation (CBPWM) method. This method is generalized for odd number levels of inverters including neutral-point-clamped (NPC) and cascaded H-bridge inverters. Then it is extended to the over-modulation mode. The over-modulation mode is implemented by using the two-limit trajectory principle to maintain linear control and to avoid look-up tables. Even though the CMV is eliminated, CMV spikes that can cause EMI and bearing current problems still exist due to the deadtime effect. As a result, the deadtime effect is analyzed. By taking the deadtime effect into consideration, the proposed method is capable of reducing CMV spikes. Simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

The one step type pole and two step type pole are used in KEPCO's distribution system. The neutral current increases in three-phase four-wire distribution system due to unbalanced load. Usually, power line and communication line are installed at contiguity by effect of topography in Korea. To this end, the damages such as electrostatic induction, electromagnetic induction and harmonic induction generated by induced voltage and current are occured in power line and communication line. This paper calculates the neutral current in KEPCO's distribution system using EMTP by composing various simulated conditions. Also, these results are verified by vector analysis.

The effects of argon neutral beam (NB) energy on the amorphous carbon (a-C) films were investigated, while the a-C films were deposited by neutral particle beam assisted sputtering (NBAS) system. The deposition characteristics of these films were studied as a function of NB energy (or reflector bias voltage). The film structures were investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The hardness was measured by nano-indentation tests and the optical band gap was measured by UV-visible spectroscopy.

If the three phases are not balanced, the current in neutral wire is not zero. Then, the induced voltage can be generated in communication line. The KEPCO's rule about unbalanced current for one step type in distribution pole is a twenty percent of phase current. But the unbalanced current for two step type in distribution pole can't decide the rule because there are many different views. This paper presents the calculation and analysis technique of neutral current in distribution poles using equivalent circuit analysis and EMTP simulation.

The neutral section was installed in order to prevent conflict with different phase angle source in electric railway catenary system. The speed of electric train reduced due to coasting operation by notch off when it passed the neutral section. And, the catenary wire was damaged and the accident might be happened because of the arc generation when the electric train passed the neutral section with notch off condition. The inrush current of main transformer installed tiling train is analyzed during the operation of MCB(main circuit break) passing through the neutral section. The instantaneous waveform of load current were analyzed in case of powering and regenerative braking. Inrush current waveform with run of AC railway train showed that inrush current waveform and harmonics, the inrush current generated from main transformer in train has bad effects on power quality problem. In order to reduce these inrush currents, the MCB is connected when the phase angle of voltage is 90 degree. This paper is to measure inrush current and harmonics in main transformer of high speed train in neutral section of electric railway. This measurement report is used to control minimum inrush current in algorithm and power phase angle.
