For over 25 years, the stray currents from DC electric railroads have caused serious interference problems with underground metallic infrastructures in Korea. The most serious interference is reported at the pipelines near the depot areas. Our field survey proves that this phenomena is mainly due to the missing of dedicated rectifiers for mainline, depot and/or workshop areas. Because it takes so much time and costs too much to replace the traction power system, we consider a stray current confinement method which collects the stray currents and drains them to the negative terminal of the rectifier. This can be realized by installing a stray current collecting wire along the depot boundary. Moreover, we found the stray current collecting reinforcement bar located beneath the rails of concrete slab tracks. Using this bar, we arc going to draing the stray currents from mainline rails. In this paper we show the result of field survey on railroad facilities and present the stray current confinement method under field test.

Pb(Zr$_{0.8}$Ti$_{0.2}$)O$_3$강유전체 음극의 상부 전극 크기를 변화시키며(500$mu extrm{m}$~900$\mu\textrm{m}$)비대칭 전극 구조에서의 전자 방출에 대하여 연구하였다. 펄스 전기장을 가했을 때 나타나는 분극 반전에 의한 전류 밀도는 상부 전극 크기를 감소시킴에 따라 증가하였다. 이것은 비대팅 전극 구조에 의해 강유전체 표면에서 stray-field가 발생하고, stray field가 전극의 모서리 부근의 강유전체 표면 하부에도 분극 반전을 발생시켰기 때문이다. 전기장 전산모사를 통하여 이러한 stay-field의 존재 가능성을 예측할 수 있었고, 분극 반전에 의한 전류 밀도 측정 결과 stray-field가 미치는 거리는 약 11-l4$\mu\textrm{m}$이었다. 전자방출의 문턱전계는 항전계 의 약 3배인 61-68kV/cm이었으며, 문턱전계가 단순히 강유전체의 항전계에 의해 결정되는 것이 아니라, 강유전 음극의 구조에 의해 결정되는 stray-field의 세기와 stray-field가 미치는 거리에 영향을 받음을 전산모사를 통해 예측할 수 있었다.

With the wide spread of direct current (DC) electric railroads in Korea, the stray currents or leakage currents from negative return rails become a pending problem to the safety of nearby underground infrastructures. The most widely used mitigation method for this interference is the stray current drainage method, which connects the underground metallic structures to the rails with diodes (polarized drainage) or thyristor (forced drainage). Although this method inherently possesses some drawbacks, its cost effectiveness and efficiency to protect the interfered structures has been the main reason for the wide adoption. In this paper, we show the field test results for the application of stray current drainage system to a city gas pipeline paralleling a depot area of a metropolitan rapid transit system. The process for optimal positioning is briefly illustrated. The effectiveness of constant voltage, constant current, and constant potential drainage schemes was also described.

With the wide spread of direct current(DC) electric railroads in Korea, the stray current or leakage currents from negative return rails become a pending problem to the safety of nearby underground Infrastructures. The most widely used mitigation method for this interference is the stray current drainage method, which connects the underground metallic structures to the rails with diodes (polarized drainage) or thyristor (forced drainage). This method, however, inherently possesses some drawbacks such as an increase of total leakage torrents from rails, expansion of interference zone, etc. In order to resolve these drawbacks, we developed a rapid potential-controled rectifier and applied to a depot area where stray current inference is very severe. The effect of this method was analyzed from the field tell data and we suggest this method can be an excellent alternative to the drainage-bond-based mitigation methods.

In this paper, a new energy harvesting technology using stray electric field of an electric power line is presented. It is found that energy can be harvested and stored in the storage capacitor that is connected to a cylindrical aluminum foil wrapped around a commercial insulated 220 V power line. The average current flowing into 47 ${\mu}F$ storage capacitor is about 4.53 ${\mu}A$ with 60 cm long cylindrical aluminum foil, and it is possible to operate wireless sensor node to transmit RF data every 42 seconds. The harvested average power is about 47 ${\mu}W$ in this case. Since the energy can be harvested without removing insulating sheath, it is believed that the proposed harvesting technology can be applied to power the sensor nodes in wireless ubiquitous sensor network and smart grid system.

The internet of things (IoT) technology is a key component for the advent of 4^th industrial revolution, which is the network of home appliances, infrastructures, and vehicles to remotely investigate these systems. For the operation of compact IoT devices, batteries are widely used as electric power, and the limited lifetime of batteries inevitably leads to periodic replacement. Magneto-mechano-electric (MME) generators may be alternatives to batteries inside the IoT devices by converting stray magnetic field into electric energy, since we are always surrounded by ambient alternating current (AC) magnetic fields induced from electric power transmission lines everywhere. This article reviews the recent domestic research progress in high-performance MME generators and their application field for IoT and electronic devices.

가스배관, 상수관, 송유관 등의 지중 매설배관이 직류 전기철도와 인접해 있는 경우, 전기철도 시스템의 귀선 회로로 사용되는 레일에서 누설되는 표유전류에 의해 이들 금속배관에는 전기적 부식, 즉 전식이 발생할 수 있다. 전식에 의한 집중 부식은 전기방식으로 보호되는 배관에 있어서도 지속적인 재료의 열화와 이에 따른 파손을 일으킬 수 있어 대형사고로 발전할 소지를 가지고 있다. 국내에서는 이러한 표유전류에 대한 대책으로 배관과 레일을 전기적으로 접속하는 배류법이 적용되고 있는데 특히 가스배관을 중심으로 한 강제배류법의 급속한 증가에 의해 간섭문제가 매우 복잡해지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 직류전기철도시스템과 매설배관 사이의 전기적 간섭 문제를 서울과 부산 지역에서 수행한 현장 실태조사의 결과를 통해 살펴본다.

Recently metropolitan local governments is actively introducing urban railway's expand and light rail transit as a means of new transport system. DC electricity feeder system operating in the domestic urban railway is typically a feedback circuit consisted of the contact wire and electric railway vehicle via rail. But stray current is to be defined as a current flowing on a structure that is not part of the intended electrical circuit with respect to a given structure. Stray current is generally results from the leakage of return currents from large DC traction systems that are grounded or have a bad earth-insulated return path. At the place where the current leaves the rail and metallic structures, electrolytic corrosion may take place. This paper presents comparison analysis of field test methods based on criteria of electrolytic corrosion protection of buried metallic structures adjacent to DC traction systems.

DC electricity feeder system operating in the urban railway is typically a feedback circuit consisted of the contact wire and electric railway vehicle via rail. But stray current is flowed on a structure that is not part of the intended electrical circuit with respect to a given structure. This paper presents comparison analysis of field test cases based on criteria of electrolytic corrosion protection of buried metallic structures adjacent to DC traction systems. As a result of it, we confirmed that measurement methods are different from each other about the same tests. Therefore measurement methods to prevent electrolytic corrosion need to establish electrical facilities standards to be applied domestic.

산업화, 도시화에 따라 관리 주체가 다른 지중 금속시설물들이 크게 늘고 있으며 이러한 시설물의 보호를 위한 전기방식법, 특히 외부전원법의 적용이 전기방식에 대한 인식의 확산과 더불어 크게 증가하고 있다. 그러나 시스템의 설치를 위한 공간 확보의 어려움과 더불어 시설물 상호간의 표류전류 간섭 문제가 개별 관리주체로서는 해결할 수 없는 현안이 되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 개별적으로 적용되던 전기방식 시스템 상호간의 간섭 사례를 현장 진단을 통하여 예시하고 이에 대한 대책으로 공용양극 외부전원 시스템을 설계, 현장 실증을 통하여 하나의 대안으로 제시하였다.
