Recently, much attention has been paid to problems which is concerned with voltage instability phenomena and much works on these phenomena have been made. In this paper, by substituting d $P_{k}$ d $e_{k}$ ( $v^{\rarw}$= e +j f) for $P_{k}$ in conventional load flow, direct method for finging the limit of voltage stability is proposed. Here, by using the fact that taylor se- ries expansion in .DELTA. $P_{k}$ and .DELTA. $Q_{k}$ is terminated at the second-order terms, constraint equation (d $P_{k}$ d $e_{k}$ =0) and power flow equations are formulated with new variables .DSLTA. e and .DELTA.f, so partial differentiations for constraint equation are precisely calculated. The fact that iteratively calculated equations are reformulated with new variables .DELTA.e and .DELTA.f means that limit of voltage stability can be traced precisely through recalculation of jacobian matrix at e+.DELTA.e and f+.DELTA.f state. Then, during iterative process divergence may be avoid. Also, as elements of Hessian mat rix are constant, its computations are required only once during iterative process. Results of application of the proposed method to sample systems are presented. (author). 13 refs., 11 figs., 4 tab.

We demonstrate the improvement of sensitivity and analysis of operating characteristics of the piezoelectric pressure sensor using ZnO piezoelectric thin film and FET(field effect transistor) for sensing applied pressure and transforming the pressure into electrical signals, respectively. The sensitivity of the PSFET(pressure sensitive field effect transistor) was improved by using highly-oriented ZnO film perpendicular to the substrate surface and the operating characteristics was investigated by monitoring output voltage with time in various static pressure levels.

Approximate equations for cylindrical breakdown voltages of planar pn junctions are proposed and verified. The equations show good agreement with the Baliga's results for rj/Wpp${\leq}0.3$ and with numerical results for rj/Wpp${\geq}0.3$ within 1 % error. Sensitivity of the breakdown voltage with respect to the doping concentrations is successfully derived using the approximate equations. The sensitivity formula can be utilized in the area of tolerance design of power semiconductor devices.

The Eigen analysis in large power system provides much useful information that is not got in nose curve. The branch participation factor is not quantitative information and is an indirect method calculating incremental change in branch reactive loss. But the Eigen sensitivity analysis to each mode is direct and provides of quantitative information but this method because of needing much time is used in large power system. In this paper the Hessenberg method is used to obtaining dominant eignvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of Jacobian matrix. Ranking the critical contingencies is done by computing the Eigen sensitivity of each dominant eignvalues for changes of each line. The proposed algorithm is tested on the New England 30-bus system and KEPCO system in the year of 2000, which comprises of 791-bus and 2500-branches.

We prepared hish T$_c$ Josephson junctions that have different I$_c\;'s$ and R$_n\;'s$ and studied their microwave properties. We measured the current-voltage characteristics of the junctions under the irradiation of 22 GHz electromagnetic wave at various temperatures. from the Shapiro steps, we calculated the maximum detectable frequency and the microwave received power of the junctions. Increasing critical current values increase both maximum detectable frequency and sensitivity. However, increasing temperature increase sensitivity but decrease maximum detectable frequency.

It is difficult to converge power flow for the power system planning data. The main cause of power flow diverse is reactive power imbalance. A active power could be adjust by ELD or merit order but a reactive power couldn't dispatch before power flow analysis. The lack of reactive power of power system is cause a inadequate voltage drop This paper suggest new reactive power dispatch algorithm using switched shunt admittance. This algorithm uses reactive power sensitivity called switch shunt jacobian. When proposed algorithm applies to real system data that couldn't be conversed in PSS/E the power flow analysis is converged.

Rogowski coil is made having no ferromagnetic material in a core. So the coil cannot be driven into saturation. This result in that Rogowski coils may be calibrated at relatively low currents. and used with confidence at very high currents. However the lowest level of current that can be measured is limited by the sensitivity of the voltage measuring instrument and system noise. Therefore. geometrical effects were investigated in order to measure high sensitivity of low level current and the significant source of error was examined as well. In the results, the source of error was associated with coil designs. i.e. shape and uniformity of coil and a geometrical location of current source inside and outside of the Rogowski coil.

This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of a Si Hall sensor fabricated on a SOI (Si-on-insulator) structure. The SOI structure was formed by SDB(Si-wafer direct bonding) technology and the insulator of the SOI structure was used as the dielectrical isolation layer of a Hall sensor. The Hall voltage and sensitivity of the implemented SDB SOI Hall sensors showed good linearity with respect to the applied magnetic flux density and supplied current. The product sensitivity of the SDB SOI Hall sensor was average 600V/A.T and its value has been increased up to 3 times compared to that of bulk Si with buried layer of 10.mu.m. Moreover, this sensor can be used at high-temperature, high-radiation and in corrosive environments.

Comb-type graft hydrogels composed of alginate and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) were prepared to manifest rapid temperature and pH sensitivity. To appear the electro-sensitivity, the polyaniline, conducting polymer, was added into the matrix. The swelling kinetics and ratios were compared under the various compositions of polyaniline. The swelling behaviors revealed that conducting polymer/hydrogel composites could control the swelling ratio and kinetics. The addition of polyaniline in the matrix improved the thermal stability in comparison with that of the hydrogel without polyaniline. In temperature sensitivity, the adding the polyaniline into the matrix decreased the degree of change in the swelling ratio. The swelling ratios continuously increased with increasing pH values. The drug release rate from the hydrogel increased with the adding the polyaniline and the applying the direct voltage to the hydrogels.
