We investigate some operation characteristics and energy efficiency of the BLDC motor system driven by different two types power conversion method depends on same battery source for applying to electrical motor propulsion system of a small ship. Also, we suggest an estimation manner of operating performances such as total running distance and operating speed of ships from basic discharge voltage characteristics of batteries. Through some experiments, direct power conversion was better than indirect method on the view point of energy efficiency and the voltage discharge characteristics could be used as important design factor for estimating operating performances of small ships driven by electrical motors.

In this Paper, the channel characteristics of the medium voltage(22.9kV) power line to analysis the broadband power line communication in the frequency range up to 30MHz was measured. With the sideband electrical coupler in the operating frequency range from DC to 30MHz, we measured characteristic impedance, noise and attenuation of the medium voltage power line, and then characteristic impedance was measured at the state of unloaded medium voltage power line by Scattering parameter method of Vector Network Analyzer. As a measurement result, Channel impedance shows 100~380$\Omega$ at the less than 15MHz and 70~230$\Omega$ at the more than 15 MHz. Noise characteristics of power line shows -75dBm at 20MHz and Narrowband interference noise was from 3 MHz to 7MHz.

The 765kV transmission line will be maintained by live-line works for efficient operation. In order to maintain the 765kV transmission lines safely by live-line works, lineman has to know switching impulse flashover characteristics of the jumper V-strings with damaged insulators in advance. In order to know the flashover characteristics this paper carried out experimental flashover mockup tests for jumper V-string with damaged insulators in the outdoors. And it suggests flashover characteristics of the 765kV jumper V-strings also. The results will be used in estimating the safety of live working for 765kV transmission lines.

The performance and dynamic characteristics of three-phase active power filter with PCC voltage compensation is presented and analyzed in this paper. The characteristics of parallel active filter are discussed when they are applied to nonlinear loads with current source and voltage source type, the characteristics of voltage compensator and comparison of two functions are discussed. The proposed scheme in this paper employs a PWM voltage-source inverter and has two operation modes. First, it operates as a conventional active filter with reactive power compensation while PCC voltage is in a certain range. Second, is operates as a voltage compensator while PCC voltage is out of range. Finally, the validity of this scheme is investigated through analysis of simulation and experimental results for a prototype active power filter system rated at 10KVA.

To cope with increasing power demand in metropolitan area, the power system in Korea has equipped with unit generator of large capacity, high density and uneven distribution, and transmission line of long distance, large capacity and high voltage. As the power system growing up enormous, it has become difficult to maintain the standard voltage in case of radical fluctuation of load or severe change of voltage by power system fault for its weakness of responsive characteristics although the power condenser has been installed to solve the unstability by lack of reactive power. Consequently, we review harmonic wave production and control characteristics to solve unstability problem of voltage in northern metropolitan, to reduce transmission restriction cost and to minimize load shedding by relocation of SVC (Static Var Compensator), which is highly effective for improvement of responsive characteristics for radical voltage fluctuation.

In this paper, we compared power generation characteristics of two MPPT algorithms, P & O and InC, applied to grid-connected solar inverters. The MPPT detects the voltage and current of the solar module string and transfers the power to the DC link. Since the grid is connected by the power conversion circuit, the grid connection control and the MPPT control influence each other. The power generation characteristics were analyzed by Psim simulation according to the MPPT cycle in the weak grid conditions.

Reactor fuel's power distribution plays a vital role in designing the new generation thermionic Space Reactor Power Systems (SRPS). In this paper, the 1/12th SPACE-R's full reactor core was numerically analyzed with two kinds of different axial power distribution, to identify their impacts on thermal-hydraulic and thermoelectric characteristics. In the benchmark study, the maximum error between numerical results and existing data or design values ranged from 0.2 to 2.2%. Four main conclusions were obtained in the numerical analysis: a) The axial power distribution has less impact on coolant temperature. b) Axial power distribution influenced the emitter temperature distribution a lot, when the core power was cosine distributed, the maximum temperature of the emitter was 194 K higher than that of the uniform power distribution. c) Comparing to the cosine axial power distribution, the uniform axial power distribution would make the maximum temperature in each component of the reactor core much lower, reducing the requirements for core fuel material. d) Voltage and current distribution were similar to the axial electrode temperature distribution, and the axial power distribution has little effect on the output power.

Experiences in wind farm operation are very limited in Korea, and the foundation for setting standards in power system connection is weak. Therefore, connection and operation standards for wind farms in other countries must be reviewed and power system operation criteria need to be established in order to set up connection standards and optimal operation plans according to the Jeju power system. In this study, reactive power control characteristics of a wind farm were analyzed using a wind farm model of the Jeju power system to propose power system connection operation standards for wind generation within the Jeju power system. Also, change in characteristics of the power system for the application of each reactive power control standard was confirmed, and the results were verified through trial tests arm was analyzed.

This paper reviews the characteristics and technical trends in Power MOSFET technology that are leading to improvements in power loss for power electronic system. The silicon bipolar power transistor has been displaced by silicon power MOSFET's in low and high voltage system. The power electronic technology requires the marriage of power device technology with MOS-gated device and bipolar analog circuits. The technology challenges involved in combining power handling capability with finger gate, trench array, super junction structure, and SiC transistor are described, together with examples of solutions for telecommunications, motor control, and switch mode power supplies.

This paper presents a method for assessing the voltage sag performance of power system involving wind power generation. Wind power generation is considered as one of the most desirable renewable energy sources. However, wind power generation have uncertain energy output and it is difficult to control the output. The existing methods of voltage sag assessment are not reflected the characteristics of wind power generation. Therefore, in order to more accurately assess the voltage sag performance, the probability of wind power operation is evaluated. In this paper, the probability is determined by combining the wind speed model with the output curve of wind turbine. The probability of wind power operation is reflected as a parameter in voltage sag assessment. The proposed method can provide more accurate results of voltage sag assessment for the case involving the wind power generation.
