Power transmission substations are susceptible to potential damage under seismic excitations. Two of the major seismic failure modes in substation supplies are: the breakage of brittle insulator, and conductor end fittings. This paper presents efficient isolation strategies for seismically strengthening of a two-item set of equipment including capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) adjacent to a Lightning Arrester (LA). Two different strategies are proposed, Case A: implementation of base isolation at the base of the CVT, while the LA is kept fixed-base, and Case B: implementation of base isolation at the base of the LA, while the CVT is kept fixed-base. Both CVT and LA are connected to each other using a cable during the dynamic excitation. The probabilistic seismic behavior is measured by Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA), and a series of appropriate damage states are proposed. Finally, the fragility curves are derived for both the systems. It is found that Friction Pendulum System (FPS) isolator has the potential of decreasing flexural stresses caused by intense ground motions. The research has shown that when the FPS is placed under LA, i.e. Case B (as oppose to Case A), the efficiency of the system is improved in terms of reducing the forces and stresses at the bottom of the porcelain. Several parametric studies are also performed to determine the optimum physical properties of the FPS.

전력계통의 변전소 설비들은 계통의 확장에 따라 점점 복잡하고 거대해지고 있다. 또한, 몇몇 장비들은 점점 노후되고, 종종 예상치 않은 고장을 일으킨다. 변전소 설비들 중 변압기의 신뢰도를 증가시키기 위해서, 변압기의 진단기법 개발이 매우 필요하다. 본 연구에서는, 전력용 변압기의 용해 가스들을 근거로 KSOM(Kohonen Self Organizing Map)에 의한 열화정도와 원인의 분석기법을 개발하였다. KOSM은 용해가스에 의해 구성된 다차원 패텅을 이차원 평면에 지형학적 맵핑이 가능하다. 그리고 정장변압기에 대한 열화의 정도와 잠재적인 열화의 가능성을 제안된 정량적 지표에 의해 제시하였다. 아울러, 변압기의 열화과정을 제안된 지표를 근거로 특정한 변압기에 대해 분석하였다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 입증하기 위해서 사례연구가 수행되고, 그 결과를 제시하였다.

Using multi wrapped copper by polyimide film for HTS transformer, the breakdown and V-t characteristics of two type models for turn-to-turn, one is point contact model, the other is surface contact model, were investigated under ac and impulse voltage at 77 K. A material that is Polyimide film (Kapton) 0.025 mm thickness is used for multi wrapping of the electrode. Statistical analysis of the results using Weibull distribution to examine the wrapping number effects on V-t characteristics under at voltage as well as breakdown voltage under ac and impulse voltage in $LN_2$ was carried. Also, survival analysis was performed according to the Kaplan-Meier method. The breakdown voltages for surface contact model are lower than that of the point contact model, because the contact area of surface contact model is wider than that of point contact model. At the same time, the shape parameter of the point contact model is a little bit larger than the of the surface contact model. The time to breakdown tn is decreased as the applied voltage is increased, and the lifetime indices slightly are increased as the number of layers is increased. According to the increasing applied voltage and decreasing wrapping number, the survival probability is increased.

본 논문에서는 LCD TV의 인치에 따라 다르게 적용되는 기존의 PID(Power-Integrated Drive)시스템과 PSD(Power-Separated Drive)시스템을 검토하여, 두 시스템의 장점만을 모아 LCD TV 전원 시스템의 표준화가 가능한 새로운 방식의 구동 전원 통합 시스템을 제안한다. 제안 시스템은 가격 및 효율이 우수한 2단 구성으로 이루어져 있고, 안전규격을 만족하기 위하여 1:1 트랜스포머를 사용하였다. 인버터 부의 최적 동작을 위해 인버터 구동신호의 주파수와 시비율을 고정하고 펄스 개수를 제어하는 Pulse Count Modulation(PCM)방식을 채용 하였다. 제안 시스템의 인버터 단은 전 부하 범위에서 영전압 스위칭이 가능하여 스위치의 발열이 우수하고, 별도의 전류 평형 트랜스포머가 필요치 않으므로 Balance Coil의 삭제가 가능하다. 이로 인해 신뢰성이 높은 제품 구성이 가능하고, PCB Size 축소 및 제작 원가가 낮아지는 장점을 갖는다. 최종적으로 제안 시스템을 기존 시스템과 비교 및 실험적 검증을 통하여 제안 시스템의 우수성을 확인한다.

This paper proposes a three-level LLC resonant converter using integrated magnetics (IM). Given that the switch voltage stress of the proposed converter is guaranteed to be half of the input voltage, the switching losses can be greatly reduced, thereby benefitting the high-frequency operation. To reduce the volume of reactive components such as transformers, high-frequency driving and planar core are applied. However, two resonant inductors and one transformer are required because of the three-level structure and the limited leakage inductance of the planar transformer for the resonant operation. Therefore, the effect of volume reduction is not very large. In order to solve these drawbacks, this paper proposes a new IM that integrates all magnetic elements used in the proposed three-level resonant converter by using the magnetizing inductor as a resonant inductor. The experimental results are presented by conducting a theoretical analysis of a prototype with 350 W to 800 kHz.

This paper presents a soft switching converter to achieve the functions of zero voltage switching (ZVS) turn-on for the power switches and dc voltage step-up. Two circuit modules are connected in parallel in order to achieve load current sharing and to reduce the size of the transformer core. An active snubber is connected between two transformers in order to absorb the energy stored in the leakage and magnetizing inductances and to limit the voltage stresses across the switches. During the commutation stage of the two complementary switches, the output capacitance of the two switches and the leakage inductance of the transformers are resonant. Thus, the power switches can be turned on under ZVS. No output filter inductor is used in the proposed converter and the voltage stresses of the output diodes is clamped to the output voltage. The circuit configuration, the operation principles and the design considerations are presented. Finally, laboratory experiments with a 340W prototype, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed converter, are described.

This paper presents an interleaved resonant converter to reduce the voltage stress of power MOSFETs and achieve high circuit efficiency. Two half-bridge converters are connected in series at high voltage side to limit MOSFETs at $V_{in}/2$ voltage stress. Flying capacitor is used between two series half-bridge converters to balance two input capacitor voltages in each switching cycle. Variable switching frequency scheme is used to control the output voltage. The resonant circuit is operated at the inductive load. Thus, the input current of the resonant circuit is lagging to the fundamental input voltage. Power MOSFETs can be turn on under zero voltage switching. Two resonant circuits are connected in parallel to reduce the current stress of transformer windings and rectifier diodes at low voltage side. Interleaved pulse-width modulation is adopted to decrease the output ripple current. Finally, experiments are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

This paper proposed a new zero-voltage switching(ZVS) Two-Inductor boost converter. The conventional Two-Inductor boost converter has defect. When the switch is turned off, the high voltage spike is occurred in the switch by leakage inductance and switch parasitic capacitor. To solve this problem, the parallel resonant capacitor is added to the conventional Two-Inductor boost converter. Using quasi-resonant between parallel resonant capacitance and leakage inductance, the switches is operated soft switching. A reduction of transformer turn ratio is achieved by the voltage doubler rectifier.
