Wireless power transfer systems require an algorithm to determine the presence of the target object for mitigating standby power and safety issues. Although many schemes that sense various external objects have been actively proposed for inductive power transfer systems, not many studies on capacitive power transfer systems have been conducted compared with those on inductive power transfer systems. This study proposes a target object detection algorithm by monitoring the capacitance in transmitter-side electrodes without additional pressure sensors or distance sensors. The proposed algorithm determines the presence of a target object by monitoring the change in capacitance in transmitter-side electrodes using the step pulse of the microcontroller unit. The algorithm is verified by two step processes. First, the performance in capacitance measurement is compared with that of an LCR meter. Then, the verification is conducted in a 5-W capacitive power transfer hardware. Experimental result shows that the interelectrode capacitance increases by 6 times when the target object is fully aligned. Thus, the proposed scheme can successfully detect the presence of the target object.

High precision voltages. currents. power factor and electrical power measurements wide range of frequency can be achieved by using the thermo-elements (thermal converters). This paper describes the development wattmeter. based on a thermal principle. The instrument has been performed measurement in the range of currents from 0 to 50 A, voltages up to 600 V, power factor 0.5. 1 and frequencies from 45 Hz to 3 kHz. The thermal converters with two heater are used in the functional element of the wattmeter.

In this paper, we identify the memory effect of high power(125W) laterally diffused metal oxide-semiconductor(LDMOS) RF Power Amplifier(PA) by two tone IMD measurement. We measure two tone IMD by changing the tone spacing and the power level. Different asymmetric IMD is founded at different center frequency measurements. We propose the Tapped Delay Line-Neural Network(TDNN) technique as the modeling method of LDMOS PA based on two tone IMD data. TDNN's modeling accuracy is highly reasonable compared to the memoryless adaptive modeling method.

Need of power stability, reliability is increased, as using of sensitive: nonlinear load are increasing. Therefore, Power Quality Problems become the center of public interest. Many kinds of algorithms have been studied for monitoring of Power Quality Problems. Monitoring algorithms of using RMS, FT and the others are easy to applicate to system. But, it is not enough to monitor all of Foyer. Quality problems. Wavelet Transform is more proper to applicate. so, This paper presents measurement system using discrete wavelet transform.

Frequency domain measurement of propagation loss for ultra high frequency (UHF) partial discharge in the winding of power transformer using a spectrum analyzer and pulse generator is presented. We compared the performance of the method using a network analyzer with and without a winding. Using a network analyzer simplifies the measurement and offers better dynamic range and frequency range. It also provides precise propagation loss within the winding in frequency domain at UHF range. We applied this method to measure UHF propagation loss of transformer mock-up, modeled 154 kV 20 MVA power in KEPCO substation.

Safety is emphasized in nuclear power plant system for its characteristic. One of the most important systems to guarantee the safety of nuclear power plant is the PPS(Power protection system). The measurement control system includes PPS, which is similar to the human nervous system, is very important factor not only for the safety but also for the operation. Therefore, developing a technology to level up the performance of measurement system and reliability of the plant will bring cost-effective and safe generation of nuclear power. In this study, I researched composition of digitized PPS and algorithm for cyclic inspection.

In this study, we investigated the effects of hot water on the aging of URD power cables due to the hot water ingress to power distribution lines. Hot water contacted and non-contacted cables extracted from 2 distribution lines were characterized by the measurement of oxidation induction time(OIT) and chemical structure. In OIT measurement, hot water contacted cables showed the shorter OIT than non-contacted ones. Especially, hot water contacted insulation layer near insulation shield showed the shortest OIT. In chemical structure analysis, the antioxidant content was decreased and the acid concentration was increased by hot water ingress. From this results, it can be concluded that the hot water ingress to power cable may be accelerate the aging by means of antioxidant consumption.

We report the characteristics and differences of two types of attenuation measurement methods for electromagnetic partial discharge signal in GIS. The pulse method is to measure the attenuated waveforms in time domain and coverts them into frequency domain to get the attenuation spectra of given GIS section. This method simulates the real partial discharge signal. The frequency swept continuous wave method can obtain attenuation spectra directly so that it gives attenuation with low noise floor and simplicity. We show that both methods are effective and exchangeable because the attenuation results measured by two methods have similar trends

The precise measurement of consumed power for a given time is very important in the energy management aspect. Up to days, most power meter has been used and designed for use on circuits in which the voltage and current are essentially sinusoidal. Recently the increase of switching element in power system causes the current and voltage with harmonics. Therefore, power energy involving harmonics is supplied to the system and the error of power measurement of watthour meter is existed. In this paper, we present a characteristic analysis by input frequency variation and analytical basis of induction watthour meter considering harmonics.
