  • The Korean distribution line currently consists of overhead ground wires (OHGW), overhead distribution lines, neutral wires (NW), and messenger wires (MW). The MW is installed under the NW. The lightning protection system in Korea is focused on OHGW and lightning arrester and the MW are not considered. Therefore, this paper proposes the applicability of MW for purpose of lightning protection. For this, we analyzed the effects of lightning overvoltage according to the existence of OHGW and MW and the grounding conditions of the MW in the Korean distribution system. The grounding conditions of the MW that we took into consideration were the common or separate grounding of the MW and NW. The analysis based on the equivalent circuit of the distribution pole at each condition was performed. The distribution lines and lightning were modeled using the Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP). For each of the installation conditions of the OHGW and MW, the various lightning conditions were simulated and analyzed for both direct and indirect lightning. The simulation results showed that, if the OHGW was not installed in the Korean distribution system, the lightning overvoltage could be reduced by the common grounding of the MW and NW.

  • Protection against lightning surge is an essential part of almost any electrical and electronic equipment today. Metal Oxide Varistor(MOV) is the single most important component in the overwhelming majority of the Surge Protective Devices(SPD) designated to provide such protection. In this paperr various types of MOV based SPD are inspected and experiments are carried out on the side effects of the low Measured Limiting Voltage(MLV) characteristics. Experiment results show that a lower MLV could cause a higher Temporary Overvoltage(TOV)-induced SPD failure rate in the field, and SPD are more likely to be victims rather than protectors in a TOV scenario. This means that from a safety perspective, the SPD should be specified with higher TOV withstand capability(UT) and faster SPD disconnector.

  • 연료전지의 상용화 시점에 이르러 내구성에 대한 기술 확보가 점점 더 부각되고 있다. 현재 연료전지의 내구성을 감소시키는 1차적인 요인은 핵심부품인 촉매, 전해질막, MEA(Membrane & Electrode Assembly) 등에 의한 것이며 2차적인 요인은 운전 시스템 및 환경 등에 의해 결정되어진다. 특히, 연료전지자동차는 이동용, 가정용, 발전용에 비하여 부하변동이 극심한 조건에서 운전되기 때문에 연료전지 시스템의 내구성 확보에 많은 제어기술이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 연료전지자동차 운전조건(Driving mode)을 부하변동 기준에 의한 고전류, 중전류, 저전류의 3가지 모드로 분류하였다. 각각의 운전조건에서 일정 cycle마다 성능곡선을 측정하여 10만 cycle 이상의 반복운전을 수행하였으며 측정된 성능곡선을 empirical equation에 적용하여 시간에 따른 overvoltage 인자에 대한 분석을 하였다. 운전시간이 증가함에 따라 고전류 모드의 경우 activation overvoltage 인자 중 current density loss가 증가하여 OCV가 급격히 감소하였으나 내구성은 저전류 모드에 비하여 높게 나타났다. 저전류 모드의 경우 고전류 모드와 상반된 결과를 보였으며 성능감소요인은 activation 및 ohmic overvoltage의 점차적인 증가에 의한 것으로 분석되었다.

  • In the analysis of lightning surges, transmission towers are usually simulated by ATPDraw. The modeling of transmission towers is an essential part of the traveling wave analysis of lightning surges in transmission lines. The tower model is applied to the 154kV transmission tower of which surge performance characteristics are measured Tower surge response is computed using nonuniform, single-phase line models for both transmission tower and ground wire. The overvoltage will effect to the underground transmission line. The underground cable is combined by duct and trefoil type, and the each arrester is placed on the leading-in tube and outgoing tube. This paper analyzed the effect of lightning overvoltage on the underground cable system.

  • Addition of various acids or organic compounds to the electrolyte solution during the electrodeposition of $PbO_2$ on titanium madras substrate strongly affected performance of the deposited $PbO_2$ layer. Results of X-ray diffractometry ascertained that ${\beta}-PbO_2$ was deposited in acidic electrolyte. Among additives used in this experiment, $PbO_2$ with a high oxygen overvoltage was electrodeposited when sodium lauryl sulfate was added, and $PbO_2$ with a lower chlorine overvoltage was electrodeposited when polyethylene glycol was added to the electrolyte solution. The oxygen and chlorine overvoltage of $PbO_2$ was strongly dependent on the stirring provided during the electrodeposition experiment. It was observed by the SEM results that the $PbO_2$ grains deposited when stirring was not provided during the electrodeposition have larger than $PbO_2$ grains deposited by stirring. In the $PbO_2$ deposition under acidic electrolyte, the oxygen overvoltage increased with larger $PbO_2$ grains and the chlorine overvoltage decreased with smaller $PbO_2$ grains. The optimal current efficiency of $PbO_2$ in the presence of perchloric acid was observed at $Pb(NO_3)_2$ 560g/l, $65{\sim}70^{\circ}C$, and pH>1.

  • Power system restoration following a massive blackout starts with re-energizing primary transmission lines at first. Some factors such as Ferranti effect, and line charging reactive power should be considered in this stage. Severe overvoltage may be induced by the Ferranti effect at the lines since it would be usually no load condition. And lack of capacitive reactive power will cause the self-excitation. This paper presents a new precise algorithm to analyze the primary restorative transmission system focused on the two major static overvoltage problems during the early restoration process.
