This paper analyzes the operation characteristics of a self excited induction generator with Steinmetz connection. For this analysis, the symmetrical components analysis is used to obtain the related expressions and the excitation capacitance and the magnetizing reactance are determined in turn by the condition of self excitation which includes the input impedance of the generator as viewed across load terminals. Two simultaneous equations of the condition of self excitation itself are solved by using the real and imaginary function in an application software. This method is applied to simulate the operation characteristics when the generator is driven at rated speed and the specified excitation capacitor is connected across the lagging phase. The results show that better operation characteristics except generated frequency are obtained by using relatively large excitation capacitance and resistive load.

This paper deals with the dead operation characteristics of the earth leakage circuit breaker(ELB) caused by impulse voltages. The surge protective devices for electronic circuit and AC power lines are becoming more widely used. It is possible to give rise to the malfunction of ELB due to the operation of surge protective devices, and the interruption of AC power lines brings about several disadvantages such as low reliability of electronic and informational systems, economical loss, and etc. The dead operation characteristics of the ELB from impulse voltages were measured under the conditions of KS C 4613 and the test circuit with a varistor. As a result, the peak current value of the zero-phase sequence circuit of the ELB is increased as the surge voltage and stray capacitance increase. All of the ELBs used in this work were satisfied with the lightning impulse dead operation test condition defined in KS C 4613. However one specimen only did not cause dead operation in the condition of the test circuit with a varistor. There is high possibility that a large portion of the ELBs connected with the AC power lines having the surge protective devices bring about the dead operation.

A soft switching converter with wide voltage range operation is investigated in this paper. A series resonant converter is implemented to achieve a high circuit efficiency with soft switching characteristics on power switches and rectifier diodes. To improve the weakness of the narrow voltage range in LLC converters, an alternating current (ac) power switch is used on the primary side to select a half-bridge or full-bridge resonant circuit to implement 4:1 voltage range operation. On the secondary-side, another ac power switch is adopted to select a full-wave rectifier or voltage-doubler rectifier to achiever an additional 2:1 output voltage range. Therefore, the proposed resonant converter has the capacity for 8:1 (320V~40V) wide output voltage operation. A single-stage hybrid resonant converter is employed in the study circuit instead of a two-stage dc converter to achiever wide voltage range operation. As a result, the study converter has better converter efficiency. The theoretical analysis and circuit characteristics are verified by experiments with a prototype circuit.

This study aims to consider the action plans to make the industry of Korean design consultancies accomplish qualitative growth by comparing the operation characteristics of design consulting firms between Korean design firms and American ones. For this, questionnaire survey and comparison analysis was performed for the operation characteristics of 109 Korean design firms and 97 American ones. The analysis results shows that operation characteristics of Korean design firms comparing to those of American ones keep low in all 7 areas of building long-term partnership relationship, building multi- disciplinary organization, utilizing result-based compensation system, developing design at the strategic business level of clients, executing active design business, making convergent networking with other industry and performing specialized design services. In order to accomplish stable industry infrastructure of design consulting industry with qualitative growth, it requires continuous effort to execute 7 operation characteristics of Korean design firms.

We proposed amorphous GeSe-based ReRAM device of metal-insulator-metal (M-I-M) structure. The operation characteristics of memory device occured unipolar switching characteristics. By introducing the concepts of valance-alternation-pairs (VAPs) and chalcogen vacancies, the unipolar resistive switching operation had been explained. In addition, the current transport behavior were analyzed with space charge effect of VAPs, Schottky emission in metal/GeSe interface and P-F emission by GeSe bulk trap in mind. The GeSe ReRAM device of M-I-M structure indicated the stable memory switching characteristics. Furthermore, excellent stability, endurance and retention characteristics were also verified.

The parallel operation system of multiple uninterruptible power supplies(UPSs) is used to increase power capacity of the system or to secure higher reliability at critical loads. In the parallel operation of the two UPSs, the load-sharing control to maintain the current balance between them is a key technique. Because a UPS has low output impedance and quick response characteristics, in case of an unbalanced load inverter output current changes very rapidly and thereby can instantaneously reach an overload condition. In this study, high precise load-sharing controller is proposed and implemented for the parallel operation system of two UPSs with low impedance characteristics and this controller controls the frequency and the voltage to minimize the active power component and the reactive power component which are gotten from the current difference between two UPSs. And then a good performance of the proposed method is verified by experiments in the parallel operation system with two 40KVA UPSs.

Operation of a microturbine was simulated on the basis of component characteristic parameters obtained from performance test. Characteristic parameters, such as compressor and turbine efficiencies, recuperator effectiveness as well as turbine inlet temperature, were obtained for a wide operation range. Component characteristics including performance maps and characteristic curves were generated using measured data. Based on the component characteristics, a simulation program was constructed and operation of the microturbine was simulated, and the simulated results were compared with the measured data to verify the program. Also, influence of variation in the power control scheme on the operating characteristic and performance of the engine was simulated. The simulation program can be used for predicting operation of both healthy and degraded engine conditions.

The transformer is expected to be an essential component of a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) for both the increase of its voltage ratings and the simultaneous quench due to different critical current between high-$T_C$ superconducting (HTSC) elements comprising the SFCL. However, in order to perform the effective current limiting operation of the SFCL, the design for the SFCL considering the hysteresis characteristics of the iron core is required. In this paper, the influence of the hysteresis characteristics of the iron core comprising the transformer type SFCL on its current limiting characteristics was investigated. Through the comparative analysis on the hysteresis curves due to the ratio of the turn number between the 1st and the 2nd windings of the transformer, the proper design condition for the ratio of the turn number to achieve the effective current limiting operation of the transformer type SFCL could be obtained.

The fault current has been increasing due to expansive substation facilities for meeting the increase of demand. To limit increasing fault current in a power system, among methods the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been considered to be adopted in the power grid. However, in case of adopting SFCL in the power system, most of SFCLs need to solve problems such as recovery, cost. With efforts to solve those problems, the novel fault current limiting device which is called hybrid SFCL is developed. To apply the hybrid SFCL, it has to be needed to analyze application possibility and itself operation characteristics. In this paper, the fault current limiting and operation characteristics of hybrid SFCL with first half cycle the limiting operation in case of various resistances of superconducting element were analyzed through experiment.
