Technical requirements for medium voltage class circuit breaker were harmonized by IEC and IEEE, and IEC newly adopted the requirements for class S2 circuit-breaker for overhead-line with the ratings of high-frequency TRV(Transient Recovery Voltage), which IEEE already adopted. Under these circumstances, KERI(Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute) studied testing technologies and facilities, which enable to perform interrupting capacity tests for class S2 circuit-breaker. As results, KERI could carry out interrupting capacity tests for medium voltage class circuit breaker rated up to 3-phase 52[kV] 40[kA], which satisfies the IEC standard.

The effect of thermal annealing on defect recovery of in-core neutron-irradiated 4H-SiC was investigated. Au/SiC Schottky diodes were manufactured using a 4H-SiC epitaxial wafer that was neutron-irradiated at the HANARO research reactor. The electrical characteristics of their epitaxial layers were analyzed under various conditions, including different neutron fluences (1.3 × 10¹⁷ and 2.7 × 10¹⁷ neutrons/cm²) and annealing times (up to 2 h at 1700 ℃). Capacity-voltage measurements showed high carrier compensation in the neutron-irradiated samples and a recovery tendency that increased with annealing time. The carrier density could be recovered up to 77% of the bare sample. Deep-level-transient spectroscopy revealed intrinsic defects of 4H-SiC with energy levels 0.47 and 0.68 eV below the conduction-band edge, which were significantly increased by in-core neutron irradiation. A previously unknown defect with a high electron-capture cross-section was discovered at 0.36 eV below the conduction-band edge. All defect concentrations decreased with 1700 ℃ annealing; the decrease was faster when the defect level was shallow.

The fullerene solar cells are becoming a feasible choice due to the advanced developments in donor materials and improved fabrication techniques of devices. Recently, sufficient optimization and improvements in the processing techniques like incorporation of solvent vapor annealing (SVA) with additives in solvents has become a major cause of prominent improvements in the performance of organic solar cell-based devices . On the other hand, the challenge of reduced open circuit voltage (V_oc) remains. This study presents an approach for significant performance improvement of overall device based on organic small molecular solar cells (SMSCs) by following a two step technique that comprises thermal annealing (TA) and SVA (abbreviated as SVA+TA). In case of exclusive use of SVA, reduction in V_oc can be eliminated in an effective way. The characteristics of charge carriers can be determined by the measurement of transient photo-voltage (TPV) and transient photo-current (TPC) that determines the scope for improvement in the performance of device by two step annealing. The recovery of reduced V_oc is linked with the necessary change in the dynamics of charge that lead to increased overall performance of device. Moreover, SVA and TA complement each other; therefore, two step annealing technique is an appropriate way to simultaneously improve the parameters such as V_oc, fill factor (FF), short circuit current density (J_sc) and PCE of small molecular solar cells.

전력 계통에서 과전류가 발생하게 되면 이것을 차단하기 위해 차단기가 동작한다. 차단기가 동작하게 되면 기계적으로 전기의 흐름을 단절시키므로 아크 현상이 발생한다. 이때 차단기의 차단 절차를 이해하기 위해서는 아크 현상의 모델링이 필요하다. 특히 포스트 아크 현상에 관한 정밀한 모델링이 이루어질 경우 차단기에서의 소호 특성을 파악하기 용이하다. 우리는 이 논문에서 전력 계통의 과도현상 분석 수치해석 프로그램인 EMTP(Electro-Magnetic Transient Program)를 이용하여 아크 현상에서 발견되는 포스트 아크 전류(Post-Arc Current) 및 TRV(Transient Recovery Voltage)를 반영하는 아크 모델을 설계하였다.

The rating of a circuit breaker depends not only on the interrupting current but also on a transient recovery voltage (TRV). To achieve a successful interruption, the circuit breaker must withstand the TRV. A superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is a device that limits the fault current fast and effectively without having high impedance during normal operation of the power system. Therefore, we studied the influence of the TRV according to the application of a resistive type SFCL in distribution system. This paper analyses the influence of the TRV for various application position of the resistive SFCL. The distribution system and the resistive SFCL were modeled by using EMTP-RV (Electromagnetic Transient Program - Restructured Version)

The extended 765 kV system may have severe electrical transients according to the interconnection of transmission lines and have long transmission line over 250 km. So we need to analyze the transient phenomena to confirm the insulation coordination which is designed for 765 kV project step I. In particular, this paper shows the analysis results of secondary arc extinction by HSGS (high speed ground switch) application. The EMTP/MODELS were used to simulation study of secondary arc phenomena. We had confirmed the TRV(transient recovery voltage) and rated current of HSGS which will be used in the KEPCO 765 kV system.

This paper presents the interruption capability of serial-hybrid type GCB (gas circuit breaker) compared with that of puffer type. First a puffer type model interrupter which has the stroke length of 80 mm has been designed and manufactured. And also, a serial-hybrid type interrupter which has the same design parameters as the puffer type interrupter except the serially arranged thermal-expansion chamber and puffer cylinder has been fabricated. Using a simplified synthetic test facility, the critical interruption capabilities of the two GCBs have been estimated. The critical di/dt, the critical dV/dt of ITRV (initial transient recovery voltage) and the minimum arcing time of the puffer type model GCB were 10.7 A/${\mu}\textrm{s}$, 5.5 kV/${\mu}\textrm{s}$, and 15.0 ms respectively. In the case of serial-hybrid type model GCB, each of the values was 16.6A/${\mu}\textrm{s}$, 11.5 kV/${\mu}\textrm{s}$ and 13.0 ms. As a conclusion of this work, it has been quantitatively confirmed that the hybrid type interrupter can obtain the sufficient interruption capability at the operating force which is so low that puffer type interrupter has not the interruption capability.
