Back-to-back STATCOM configuration is an extension of STATCOM in which the reactive power at two-sides and the real power flow through the DC link can be controlled concurrently and independently. This flexible operation brings many advantages to the micro-grids, distributed generation based systems, and deregulated power systems. In this paper, the dynamic control characteristics of the back-to-back STATCOM is investigated by simulating the detailed converter-level model of the converters in PSCAD. Various case studies in a single-machine test system are studied to present that the real power control feature of the BtB-STATCOM, even with a simple controller design, can enhance the transient stability of the machine under different fault scenarios.

The NDT(nondestructive test) using pulse echo method with piezoelectric transducers and the system for NDT including image processing were studoed. The system consisted of pulse generator and receiver, two step motors for X-Y scanner, PC-Scope for data aquisition and PC-Lab for trigger and motor driving. We tested and estimated at one point under the following conditions : 1) just water, 2) Aluminum without any crack and 3) Aluminum with hole. The estimated NDT result of whole area (point : $35{\times}20$) is compared with real samples.

We describe the characteristic of LVI(Low-voltage Impulse) test system and methods to detect the deformation of windings in the power transformers. Any winding deformation will result in a change of capacitance between winding parts and possibly some change in the winding inductance. These changes will then result in a change in the responce to the applied pulse in both the magnitude and period of the resulting oscillations. A results of measured differential method in stead of typical method, the sensitivity is greatly improved by the use of differential methods where the pulse is applied to two identical windings and the response measured with a differential amplifier.

At present, the variable sensors are applied to detect PD pulse signals, UHF sensor, AE sensor and etc. In this paper we used the Rogowski sensor to detect PD pulse signals in air. We did performed test simulation and niddle to plane electrode structure for PD source. We compared Rogowski sensor with conventional type PD detector to detect discharge signals in air.

In order to drive the high-density plasma displays, a high-speed driving technology must be researched. In this experiment, the relationship between the width of the address electrode and high-speed driving is analyzed using the Vt close curve and the panel structure for high-speed driving is proposed. In addition we show that the wider the width of the address electrode is, the narrower the width of the scan pulse becomes. Therefore, we could achieve the minimum data voltage of 50.1V at a scan pulse width of $1.0/{\mu}s$ and a ramp voltage of 210V at an address electrode width of $180/{\mu}m$ for the high-speed driving 4-inch test PDP.

This study is focused on the design and performance test of shaking table using stepping motor. Stepping motor can control the motion accurately with generated pulses and is applied to the shaking table. Earthquakes like El Centro and Taft are used as inputs to the shaking table. First, the number of pulses are calculated and sent to pulse generator. Then, the generator controls the table according to the pulse signs. It is shown that the measured signals from the table are in very good agreement with input signals of scale-downed earthquakes of El Centro and Taft. This table will be used for the experimental study of small-scaled building structures with tuned mass dampers under earthquakes.

In most EW ES equipment, S/W is developed before H/W development. The important thing is the validity of S/W algorithm should be tested before the integration between H/W and S/W. For S/W-alone test, the digital threat signal generation for the signal analysis system is needed. This paper is proposing the simulated IF signal generation which is similar with the real signal.

This paper presents a data based low-order controller design algorithm for a linear time-invariant process with a time delay. The algorithm is composed by combining an identification step based on open loop pulse test with a low-order controller design step to obtain the entire set of controllers achieving multiple performance specifications. The initial information necessary for this algorithm are merely the width and amplitude of a rectangular pulse, a controller of four types (PI, PD, PID, first-order), and design objectives. Various parametric approaches that have been developed are merged in the controller design algorithm. The resulting controller set satisfying the design objectives are displayed on the 2D and 3D graphics and thus it is very easy for us to pick a controller inside the admissible set because we can check the corresponding closed-loop performances visually.

Ultrasonic velocity method is applied to measure and correlate the strength of concrete to the velocity of the ultrasonic wave. With voids inside, mortar specimens may show the lower strength and it is intended to detect such change using the ultrasonic velocity method in this study. The amount of voids was varied and the measured data represented the condition of the mortar with voids. The test results can be used to predict the strength of concrete with voids using ultrasonic velocity method.
