Dealing with the DC link fault poses a technical problem for an HVDC based on a modular multilevel converter. The fault suppressing mechanisms of several sub-module topologies with DC fault current blocking capacity are examined in this paper. An improved half-bridge sub-module topology with double direction control switch is also designed to address the additional power consumption problem, and a sub-module topology called hybrid double direction blocking sub module (HDDBSM) is proposed. The DC fault suppression characteristics and sub-module capacitor voltage balance problem is also analyzed, and a self-startup method is designed according to the number of capacitors. The simulation model in PSCAD/EMTDC is built to verify the self-startup process and the DC link fault suppression features.

An le-module M over a commutative ring R is a complete lattice ordered additive monoid (M, ⩽, +) having the greatest element e together with a module like action of R. This article characterizes the le-modules _RM such that the pseudo-prime spectrum X_M endowed with the Zariski topology is a Noetherian topological space. If the ring R is Noetherian and the pseudo-prime radical of every submodule elements of _RM coincides with its Zariski radical, then X_M is a Noetherian topological space. Also we prove that if R is Noetherian and for every submodule element n of M there is an ideal I of R such that V (n) = V (Ie), then the topological space X_M is spectral.

Some discrimination of modules whose endomorhism rings are prime is introduced, by means of structures of submodules inducing prime ideals of the endomorphism ring End(sub)R (M) of a left R-module (sub)RM over a ring R. Modules with non-prime endomorphism rings are contrapositively studied as well.

Let M be a lattice module over a C-lattice L. Let Spec^s(M) be the collection of all second elements of M. In this paper, we consider a topology on Spec^s(M), called the second classical Zariski topology as a generalization of concepts in modules and investigate the interplay between the algebraic properties of a lattice module M and the topological properties of Spec^s(M). We investigate this topological space from the point of view of spectral spaces. We show that Spec^s(M) is always T₀-space and each finite irreducible closed subset of Spec^s(M) has a generic point.

Let R be a commutative ring and let M be an R-module. Let X = $Spec_R(M)$ be the prime spectrum of M with Zariski topology. In this paper, by using the topological properties of X, we will obtain some conditions under which $Max_R(M)=Spec_R(M)$.

The SNOMED CT browser is a system for searching and browsing of a huge volume of medical terminologies included in SNOMED CT. Previous browsers provide a simple list-up of search results while they are similar from each other. It leads to a serious confusion in selecting an appropriate term among them. This paper presents a novel browser system which provides a comparative search of search results. To do this, the proposed system includes a terminology search module, a topology search module, and a sub-graph generation module for the results.

본 논문에서는 최근 직류송전용 컨버터로 많은 관심이 집중되고 있는 MMC(Modular Multi-level Converter)에 대해서 소개하고 있다. 대용량 전압원 컨버터로 MMC가 적합한 이유에 대해서 설명하고, MMC의 동작원리, SM(Sub-Module) dc capacitor voltage balancing 기술, 전체 제어 시스템에 대해 자세하게 설명하고 있다. 제안하는 MMC는 Staircase Modulation 방식으로 사인파형에 가까운 출력전압을 형성하고, Sorting 알고리즘을 구현하여 개별 SM의 커패시터 전압이 균등하게 일정 값을 유지하도록 하였다. 제안하는 MMC의 성능평가를 위하여 PSCAD/EMTDC 프로그램을 이용하여 3상 11-level MMC를 모의하였다.

This paper deals with the blocking of DC-fault current during DC cable short-circuit conditions in HVDC (High-Voltage DC) transmission systems utilizing Modular Multilevel Converters (MMCs), where a new SubModule (SM) topology circuit for the MMC is proposed. In this SM circuit, an additional Insulated-Gate Bipolar Translator (IGBT) is required to be connected at the output terminal of a conventional SM with a half-bridge structure, hereafter referred to as HBSM, where the anti-parallel diodes of additional IGBTs are used to block current from the grid to the DC-link side. Compared with the existing MMCs based on full-bridge (FB) SMs, the hybrid topologies of HBSM and FBSM, and the clamp-double SMs, the proposed topology offers a lower cost and lower power loss while the fault current blocking capability in the DC short-circuit conditions is still provided. The effectiveness of the proposed topology has been validated by simulation results obtained from a 300-kV 300-MW HVDC transmission system and experimental results from a down-scaled HVDC system in the laboratory.

In this study, the lightweight modular design of hybrid railway carbody structures made of sandwich composites and aluminum extrusions was investigated by using topology and size optimization techniques. The topology optimum design was used to select the best material for parts of the carbody structure at the initial design stage, and then, the size optimum design was used to find the optimal design parameters of hybrid carbody structures using first-order and sub-problem methods. Through the topology optimization analysis, it was found that aluminum extrusions were suitable for primary members such as the underframe and lower side panel module to improve the stiffness and manufacturability of the carbody structures, and sandwich composites were appropriate for secondary members such as the roof and middle side panel module to minimize its weight. Furthermore, the results obtained by size optimization analysis showed that the weight of hybrid carbody structures composed of aluminum extrusions and sandwich composites could be reduced by a maximum of approximately 17.7% in comparison with carbody structures made of only sandwich composites.

This paper presents a simple and cost-effective stand-alone rapid battery charging system of 30kW for electric vehicles. The proposed system mainly consists of active front-end rectifier of neutral point clamped 3-level type and non-isolated bi-directional dc-dc converter of multi-phase interleaved half-bridge topology with coupled inductors. The charging system is designed to operate for both lithium-polymer and lithium-ion batteries. The complete charging sequence is made up of three sub-interval operating modes; pre-charging mode, constant-current mode, and constant-voltage mode. The pre-charging mode employs the staircase shaped current profile to accomplish shorter charging time while maintaining the reliable operation of the battery. The proposed system is able to reach the full-charge state within less than 16min for the battery capacity of 8kWh by supplying the charging current of 67A. The optimal discharging algorithm for Vehicle to the Grid (V2G) operation has been adopted to maintain the discharging current of 1C. Owing to the simple and compact power conversion scheme, the proposed solution has superior module-friendly mechanical structure which is absolutely required to realize flexible power expansion capability in a very high-current rapid charging system.
