In order to measure bio-signals, it is desirable to build a fully implantable system which connects directly to neural pathways or body tissue. A design scheme for fully implementable measurement system is proposed in this paper. Consisting of an implanted module and an external system, the proposed scheme delivers power and data between the two modules. The external module sends power via inductive link using a simple H-bridge type oscillator. Also, the implanted module sends measured data to the external system utilizing R/F communication technique at a frequency of ISM band. A stable communication and operation is achieved as the two types of channels are separated. Implemented in a compact size enough to be implanted in human body, the system exhibits good performance in experimental studies.

Recently, due to the increase of power conversion devices and nonlinear loads with the development of information, communication and control technologies, the instantaneous minute interruption factors such as voltage & current harmonics, surge occurring frequency, instantaneous voltage variation, voltage unbalance, flicker etc. have greatly threatened the power quality, and the deterioration of electric power facilities and the functional error of controllers are increasing. As such an instantaneous minute interruption appears to be small and local, accurate evaluation with measurement is difficult and total analysis system is required through a wide range of power quality effect analysis such as the simultaneous measurement on various power supply phenomena and the analysis on the interrelation with system loads. Most of conventional power quality diagnosis equipments have beer developed and applied, which were able to measure the stability rate of frequency, the stability rate of voltage, the electricity-failure duration etc, However, they were insufficient to analyze the system present situation, understand the cause of the failure occurred by the problem of power quality and analyze out the phenomena. Accordingly, this study will address the development of the system for a wide range of power quality diagnosis over the present level, the system for supporting the determination such as the analysis on risk factors, failure mode and impact, the system for harmonic evaluation based on international standards(IEC 61000 Series) and the total power quality diagnosis network & system with the extension and openness as a local and national-scale broadband power quality diagnosis system.

Grounding systems are responsible rot the safe operation of a power system whetehr power system fault occures or not, their performance guarantees equipmet protection and personnel safety by limited the ground potential rise and touch voltages as well as step voltages under ground fault condition. therefore, it is necessary to measure the ground resistance frequently for checing the performance of grounding system. In order to verigy the designed grounding measurement system feasibility, two comparison verifications, which are the ground resistnace measurements using the designed system on power service and off power service, are carried out for the same substation.

The equipment using the Power electronic device is recently increased in the distribution system, so power utility and customers increase in concerning about harmonics level. Accordingly, The power utility which prepares a measure for the harmonic public standard and manege process must analysis of the harmonics level and the effect on equipment interconnecting distribution system. In the past, the measurement equipment and technique is imperfect, so very difficult to investigate the harmonics and trend. But the improvement of the measurement equipment recently is possible to obtain the data realtime for harmonic analysis. In this paper, we research the measuring domestic harmonic and constructing of DB based on the IEC standard.

Due to the high penetration ratio of dispersed generations, overvoltage problem of the feeder has become more an important issue in distribution system operation. This paper proposes a new method for the smart inverter to control reactive power to mitigate voltage rise by the reverse power flow from the DGs. The proposed method controls reactive power based on current measurement while conventional methods use voltage measurement which include unacceptably large errors. Various case studies using MATLAB simulation have been performed to verify effectiveness of proposed method.

This paper presents an approach to estimate the power transmission line parameter by phasor measurement units(PMUs), which are synchronized to 1 pps signal of GPS. Existing approaches to estimate power transmission line parameter, are mainly off-line ones, based on faults or switching events on other neighboring lines. In this paper, to obtain static and dynamic properties of power transmission line parameter in service, the prototype of pmu-based Transmission Line Parameter Monitoring System (TLPMS) is proposed. Also, an technique to estimate parameters of transmission line described as 2-port network model and the soundness of estimated parameters are addressed.

The laser interferometer has been used for measurement of the micro displacement error. Although the laser interferometer is widely accepted as a tool for measurement of motion accuracy, the set-up procedure is time-consuming because of the strict requirement on alignment between a laser head and optic units. This paper addresses the development of a laser interferometer to measure the micro displacement for a micro machine. The portable laser interferometer which integrates a laser probe and optics, is developed for the convenient measurement. For the experiment, moving mirror set up on the micro stage. The velocity decoding board is also added to calculate doppler shift frequency directly. The output signal is obtained and analyzed by LabView. Finally experiments are found out the relation between micro displacement and output signal.

Total 12 units of high power klystron-modulator systems as microwave source is under operation for 2.5-GeV electron linear accelerator in Pohang Light Source(PLS) linac. RF power and beam power of klystron are precisely measured for the effective control of electron beam. A precise measurement and measurement equipment with good response characteristics are required for this. Input power of klystron is calculated from the applied voltage and the current on its cathode. Tiny measurement error severely effects RF output power value of klystron. Therefore, special care is needed to measure precise beam voltage. Capacitive voltage divider(CVD) unit is intended for the measurement of beam voltage of 400 kV generated from the pulsed klystron-modulator system. Main parameter to determine the standard capacitance in the high arm of CVD is dielectric constant of insulation oil. Therefore CVD should be designed to have a minimum capacitance variation due to voltage, frequency and temperature in the measurement range. This paper will discuss the analysis of capacitive voltage divider for a pulsed high-voltage measurement, and the empirical relations between capacitance and oil temperature variation.
