This paper analyzes the improvement of the power quality by the reduction of the inrush current. We analyze the existing methods and simulate the segragated point-on-wave closing method selected as the proper method. And we attempts to use the resistive type Superconducting Fault Current Limiter(SFCL) to reduce the transformer inrush current. We simulate the various insertion resistances and analyze the voltage drop. All simulation are performed by EMTP. The simulation results show the validity and effectiveness of a SFCL application and the segragated point-on-wave closing method to reduce the inrush current and improve the power quality.

To generate the plasma required in dry cleaning processes, the plasma chamber must be supplied with a high-quality AC voltage with a voltage of more than 1 kV and a frequency of 400 kHz. In the existing research, many methods to supply high power have been studied, but how to improve the quality of the power for high-quality plasma has been relatively little studied. In this paper, we propose a study to improve the quality of RF power circuit for high-quality plasma generation in dry cleaning method. Existing methods in the environment of full-bridge-based RF power circuits must perform PWM duty control in the light load region. This causes distortions in the waveform, resulting in poor power quality, which directly leads to poor plasma quality. To solve these problems, a half-bridge switching method is proposed and the improvement in waveform quality is verified. To verify the feasibility of the design and control algorithm proposed in this paper, an RF power circuit prototype is fabricated and the proposed design and control method is verified through simulation and actual experiments under dummy load.

A power quality improvement scheme for grid connected inverters, even in the presence of the disturbances in grid voltages due to harmonic distortions and three-phase imbalance, is presented for distributed generation (DG) power systems. The control objective is to force the inverter currents to follow their references with robustness even under external disturbances in grid voltages. The proposed scheme is realized by a disturbance observer (DOB) based current control scheme. Since the uncertainty in a system can be effectively canceled out using an estimated disturbance by the DOB, the resultant system behaves like a closed-loop system consisting of a disturbance-free nominal model. For experimental verification, a 2 kVA laboratory prototype of a grid connected inverter has been built using a digital signal processor (DSP) TMS320F28335. Through comparative simulations and experimental results under grid disturbances such as harmonic distortion and imbalance, the effectiveness of the proposed DOB based current control scheme is demonstrated.

Power quality monitoring is the cornerstone for power quality analysis, diagnosis and improvement. The measurement of power quality (PQ) evolves from instantaneous metering to continuous monitoring. Furthermore, recent technologies enable us to construct more flexible, reliable, rapid and economical power quality monitoring system (PQMS). Therefore, this paper presents an improved PQMS with a new distributed monitoring structure. The proposed PQMS consists of a PQ meter, PQ analyzer and GUI. The PQ meter only collects raw data and the PQ analyzer performs power quality analysis. It has several advantages compared to conventional structures in economic efficiency, modularity, speed, etc. PQ monitoring algorithms to catch steady-state trends and to detect PQ events are also adapted to the proposed structure. Using the proposed structure and monitoring algorithm, a prototype PQMS is constructed and real-time testing is performed.

Digital signal processors(DSP) are widely used in modern power conversion devices, ac motor drives. However, generating pulse-width modulation(PWM) gating signals requires so high sampling rates that most computation resources of the DSP must be devoted to generating them. This paper presents an ASIC realization of 2 channel space-vector PWM(SVPWM). The developed DSP(ECLDSP) board can transmit gating signals to 2 converter/inverter and control them. ECLDSP board is used for control the various kinds of power-quality improvement systems.

In this paper, a new control algorithm for the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is proposed to regulate the load terminal voltage during various power quality problems that include sag, swell, harmonics and unbalance in the voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC). The proposed control strategy is an Adaline (Adaptive linear element) Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and is used to control a capacitor supported DVR for power quality improvement. A capacitor supported DVR does not need any active power during steady state because the voltage injected is in quadrature with the feeder current. The control of the DVR is implemented through derived reference load terminal voltages. The proposed control strategy is validated through extensive simulation studies using the MATLAB software with its Simulink and SimPower System (SPS) toolboxes. The DVR is found suitable to support its dc bus voltage through the control under various disturbances.

This research paper introduces the application and implementation of medical decision metrics that classifies medical decision-making into four different metrics using statistical diagnostic tools, such as confusion matrix, normal distribution, Bayesian prediction and Receiver Operating Curve(ROC). In this study, the metrics are developed based on cross-section study, cohort study and case-control study done by systematic literature review and reformulated the structure of type I error, type II error, confidence level and power of detection. The study proposed implementation strategies for 10 quality improvement activities via 14 medical decision metrics which consider specificity and sensitivity in terms of ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$. Examples of ROC implication are depicted in this paper with a useful guidelines to implement a continuous quality improvement, not only in a variable acceptance sampling in Quality Control(QC) but also in a supplier grading score chart in Supplier Chain Management(SCM) quality. This research paper is the first to apply and implement medical decision-making tools as quality improvement activities. These proposed models will help quality practitioners to enhance the process and product quality level.

In this paper, a simplified control algorithm for a three-phase, four-wire unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is presented to compensate for supply voltage distortions/unbalance, supply current harmonics, the supply neutral current, the reactive power and the load unbalance as well as to maintain zero voltage regulation (ZVR) at the point of common coupling (PCC). The UPQC is realized by the integration of series and shunt active filters (AFs) sharing a common dc bus capacitor. The shunt AF is realized using a three-phase, four leg voltage source inverter (VSI) and the series AF is realized using a three-phase, three leg VSI. A dynamic model of the UPQC is developed in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and the simulation results demonstrating the power quality improvement in the system are presented for different supply and load conditions.

본 논문은 레이더 장비에 적용되는 통신 IC 소비 전력 개선을 통한 회로카드조립체 품질 향상에 관한 연구이다. 본 논문에서 언급하는 레이더는 현재 양산이 진행중이며, 군에서 사용중인 장비이다. 군에서 레이더 운용중 DC 28V를 입력으로 받아 DC 5V로 변환시키는 회로카드조립체에서 유독 반복적 고장이 지속적으로 발생했다. 따라서 해당 회로카드조립체 고장에 대한 원인분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 특정 통신 IC에서 소비되는 전력이 매우 높음을 발견하였으며, 그에 따라 발생된 열에 의해 주위 부품이 소손됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 레이더 체계 규격을 모두 만족하는 개선된 부품으로 변경하였다. 변경된 부품에 대하여 체계 영향성 확인을 위한 체계 부착시험을 수행하여 검증하였으며, 환경시험(고온저장 및 운용시험, 저온저장 및 운용시험, 습도시험, 진동시험, EMI 시험)을 통해 레이더 체계에서 요구하는 성능요구조건을 모두 만족함을 확인하였다. 이번 개선을 통해 현재까지 절연 회로카드조립체에서 발생한 고장은 없으므로 해당 회로카드조립체의 품질이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

The effect of change in DFIG (doubly-fed wind power generator) rotating speed and active power on the grid was analyzed to understand the characteristics of wind power using the wind power simulator connected to the grid at Gochang Power Quality Test Center. Electric power quality improvement devices (DVR, STATCOM, SSTS) and electric power quality disturbance application devices for 22.9 kV grid are equipped at Gochang Power Quality Test Center. Induction motor and VVVF inverter were used to emulate the blade of a wind power generator, and a simulator for Cage wound induction generator and DFIG was developed. The trial line were assumed to be 20 km and 40 km in length, and variable wind speed pattern was set using wind speed data from Ducjeokdo to verify the power characteristics of the wind power generator according to rotating speed.
