This paper discussed a transformer-less shunt static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) with consideration of the following aspects: fast compensation of the reactive power, harmonic cancelation and reducing the unbalancing of the 3-phase source side currents. The STATCOM control algorithm is based on the theory of instantaneous reactive power (P-Q theory). A self charging technique is proposed to regulate the dc capacitor voltage at a desired level with the use of a PI controller. In order to regulate the DC link voltage, an off-line Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to tune the coefficients of the PI controller. This algorithm arranged these coefficients while considering the importance of three factors in the DC link voltage response: overshoot, settling time and rising time. For this investigation, the entire system including the STATCOM, network, harmonics and unbalancing load are simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK. After that, a 35KVA STATCOM laboratory setup test including two parallel converter modules is designed and the control algorithm is executed on a TMS320F2812 controller platform.

A study of two phase chopper system with four separate groups of DC motors in powering. A novel two phase chopper system with four separate groups of DC motors which applies the principles of two phase chopper with two separate groups of DC motors is dealt with this article. The main circuit consists of eight sets of chopping parts, four diodes and four separate groups of DC motors. Four groups of DC motors are driven through the series and parallel connections to each other in accordance with the operating conditions of the choppers. Although the proposed chopper circuit requires more circuit elements than the conventional two phase chopper system with combined output or two phase chopper system with two separate groups of DC motors, it has the following advantages` (1). It is possible to drive twice as much motors as conventional system does, using esisting receiving-and equipments and motors. (2). It is possible to control load voltage continuously from 0 to source voltage by changing time-ratio from 0 to 1. (3). Load current division becomes equalized. Therefore it is possible to drive not only series motors but also shunt and separately exited motors. (4). When smoothing reactor L is small, harmonic components of the proposed circuit is not so large. Therefore, the value of L can be determined from viewpoints of allowable value of ripple-ratio and current unbalance factor.

In this paper, a 1.5 V high-gain high-frequency CMOS complementary operational amplifier is presented. The input stage of op-amp is designed for supporting the constant transconductance on the Input stage by consisting of the parallel-connected rail-to-rail complementary differential pairs. And consisting of the class-AB rail-to-rail output stage using the concept of elementary shunt stage and the grounded-gate cascode compensation technique for improving the low PSRR which was a disadvantage in the general CMOS complementary input stage, the load dependence of open loop gain and the stability of op- amp on the output load are improved, and the high-gain high-frequency operation can be achieved. The designed op-amp operates perfectly on the complementary mode with the 180° phase conversion for a 1.5 V supply voltage, and shows the DC open loop gain of 84 dB, the phase margin of 65°, and the unity gain frequency of 20 MHz. In addition, the amplifier shows the 0.1 % settling time of .179 ㎲ for the positive step and 0.154 ㎲ for the negative step on the 100 mV small-signal step, respectively, and shows the total power dissipation of 8.93 mW.

방향성 결합기는 RF 및 마이크로파 대역에서 신호를 분배하거나 감시하는 데 이용된다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로스트립 선로로 구현한 결합선로를 이용한 새로운 구조의 브랜치 선로 방향성 결합기를 제안하였다. 브랜치 선로 방향성 결합기는 결합도가 낮아지면 병렬로 연결된 선로의 특성 임피던스가 높아서 마이크로스트립 선로로 구현하기 어려워진다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 단락된 평형 결합 선로를 이용하여 높은 특성 임피던스를 구현하였다. 제안한 브랜치 선로 방향성 결합기의 시뮬레이션 결과 및 제작하여 측정한 결과를 보였다. 제작한 10 dB 브랜치 선로 방향성 결합기는 10% 대역폭에서 반사 손실이 30 dB 이상, 8% 대역폭에서 고립도 35 dB 이상인 결과를 보였다.

This paper proposes a low power-loss current measurement using a resistor and bypass switch. Conventional current sensing method using a resistor has a disadvantage of power loss which degrades the efficiency of the entire systems. On the other hand, proposed measurement technique operating with bypass-switch connected in parallel with sensing resistor can reduce power loss significantly the current sensor. The propose measurement works for discrete-time sampling of current sensing. Even while the analog-digital conversion does not occur at the controller, the sensing voltage across the sensor still causes ohmic conduction loss without information delivery. Hence, the bypass switch bypasses the sensing current with a small amount of power loss. In this paper, a 90[W] prototype hardware has been implemented for photovoltaic MPPT experimental verification of the proposed low power-loss current measurement technique. From the results, it can be seen that PV power observation is successfully done with the proposed method.

We fabricated and tested a resistive type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) of three-phase 6.6 $kV_{rms}/200 A_{rms}$ rating based on YBCO thin films grown on sapphire substrates with a diameter of 4 inches, Short circuit tests were carried out at a accredited test facility for single line-to- ground faults, phase-to-phase faults and three-phase faults, Each phase of the SFCL was composed of 8${\times}$6 elements connected in series and parallel respectively. Each element was designed to have the rated voltage of 600 $V_{rms}$. A NiCr shunt resistor of 23 Ω was connected to each element for simultaneous quenches. Firstly, single phase-to-ground fault tests were carried out. The SFCL successfully developed the impedance in the circuit within 0.12 msec after fault and controlled the fault current of 10 $kA_{rms} below 816 A_{peak}$ at the first half cycle. In addition, in case of phase-to-phase fault and three- phase fault test. simultaneous quenches among the SFCLs of the phases successfully accomplished. In conclusion. the SFCL showed excellent performance of current limitation upon fault and stable operation regardless of the amplitude of fault currents.

본 논문에서는 마이크로스트립 안테나의 대역폭을 넓히기 위해 많이 사용되는 적층형 구조를 연구하였다. 두 패치간 거리에 따른 특성을 분석하고 주 패치 급전 선로에 병렬 개방 스터브를 연결하여 임피던스 정합을 최적화하였다. 병렬 스터브는 기생 패치와 접지면 사이로 이루어지는 영역 내부에 삽입되므로 정합회로를 위한 별도의 공간이 필요하지 않아서 소형화에 유리한 구조이다. 여러 가지 파라미터들이 안테나 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 제안된 구조의 안테나를 2.3~2.7GHz 대역에 적합하도록 최적화하였다. 실험 결과, 제안한 안테나의 주파수대역은 2.27~2.75GHz로써 대역폭은 약 480MHz이며, 스터브가 없는 스택 구조 안테나에 비해 약 160MHz의 광대역 특성을 얻었다. 안테나 이득은 대역폭 내에서 2.3GHz에서 최소 5.8dBi, 최대 2.6GHz에서 7.8dBi를 얻었다.

This study presents the characteristics of short circuits (SCs) caused by excessive currents in high-voltage cables used in electric vehicles and emphasizes the need to calculate the cross-sectional areas of these cables according to the SC current. Three direct current power supplies were connected in parallel to test the SC characteristics caused by excessive currents, and a timer and a magnetic contactor were used to deliver the conduction time and SC current. A circular infrared-radiation heater was used to test the temperature-dependent SC characteristics, a thermocouple was used to measure the temperature, and a shunt resistor was used to measure the current. As the SC current increased, the fusing time of the cable decreased. Additionally, a high-voltage cable (with an area of 16 mm² ) used in electric vehicles fused when a current (approximately equal to 55 times the allowable current) flowed for 0.2 s (operating time of the protective device). When the SC current is 10 kA, the cable may fuse during the operating time of the protective device, thus creating a fire hazard. In electric vehicles, the size of the SC current increases in proportion to the capacity of the battery. Thus, the cross-sectional areas of the cables used should be calculated accordingly, and cable operations should be properly coordinated with the surrounding protective devices.

종래 발표된 D-CRLH 전송 선로의 설계상의 어려움과 주파수가 불가변성 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문은 주파수 가변성이 있는 D-CRLH 전송 선로 구조 두 가지를 제안한다. 첫째 구조(type 1)는 DGS와 DGS 내의 아일랜드 패턴(island pattern)에 버랙터 다이오드를 연결하여 병렬 공진 회로 내의 $C_L$을 조절할 수 있고, 둘째 구조(type 2)는 스터브에 다이오드를 연결하여 직렬 공진 회로 내의 $C_R$을 조절한다. 바이어스 조절에 따라 RH/LH 대역에서 각각 +/-90도의 유의미한 전기적 길이를 갖는 이중 대역 주파수가 가변된다. $1{\sim}12\;V$의 바이어스 전압에 대하여 측정한 결과, LH 영역에서 -90도인 전기적 길이를 갖는 주파수가 type 1과 type 2에서 각각 $4.22{\sim}5.39\;GHz$와 $4.21{\sim}5.05\;GHz$이다. 또한, type 2의 경우에 RH에서 LH 영역으로 전환하는 주파수(${\omega}_{\infty}$)가 $3.26{\sim}4.22\;GHz$의 가변 영역을 갖는다.
