This paper investigated the trench process, unified field limit ring, and other products for the development of a 500 V-level unified trench gate power MOSFET. The optimal base chemistry for the device was found to be SF₆. In SEM analysis, the step process of the trench gate and field limit ring showed outstanding process results. After finalizing device design, its electrical characteristics were compared and contrasted with those of a planar device. It was shown that, although both devices maintained a breakdown voltage of 500 V, the Vth and on-state voltage drop characteristics were better than those of the planar type.

This paper studies the voltage angle control of interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs). For voltage angle control, the optimum voltage angle trajectory according to the operating speed is researched while the voltage and current limit conditions are considered. Through research, two different optimum voltage angle trajectories that depend on the design of IPMSMs were found. The IPMSM drive based on a voltage angle control that follows such trajectory is proposed. Unlike the conventional voltage angle control method, which is applied only in the flux-weakening region, the proposed voltage angle control can be implemented in all operation ranges from low to high speed. The proposed method is verified by experiments using a DSC controller for 800 W IPMSM.

LDC(Line Drop Compensation) is widely used in controlling ULTC(Under Load Tap Changer) output voltage at distribution substation. However, LDC may experience some difficulties in voltage control due to renewable energy resources and distributed generations. Therefore, more advanced voltage control algorithm is necessary to deal with these problems. In this paper, a modified voltage control algorithm for ULTC and DG is suggested. ULTC is operated with the voltages measured at various points in distribution system and prevents overvoltage and undervoltage in the distribution feeders. Reactive power controller in DG compensates the voltage drop in each distribution feeders. By these algorithms, the voltage unbalance between feeders and voltage limit violation will be reduced and the voltage profile in each feeder will become more flat.

This paper deals with direct voltage stability analysis using a power system energy function. The structure preserved energy function is proposed as an energy function for voltage stability analysis. With the use of the proposed energy function voltage collapse conditions are derived, which yields the exactly same results with the Jacobian matrix approach. The voltage collapse phenomenon is analyzed by several methods, which shows that all of the methods produce the same voltage condition. This study also investigates the voltage collapse dynamics by using the proposed energy function. As a result, it has been found that the voltage collapse can be classified into two categories: static and dynamic instablilties which have quite different behaviors. In addition a new method is presented to calculate the power capacity limit of transmission lines with respect to voltage stability. The proposed method is tested for a 2-bus sample system, which shows the characteristics of voltage collapse phenomenon via the energy function.

최근 국가의 3020정책에 따라 신재생에너지전원의 도입이 활발히 이루어지고 있는 상황이다. 하지만 신재생에너지전원중의 하나인 태양광전원이 대규모로 배전계통에 도입되어 운용될 경우, 태양광전원의 간헐적 특성에 의한 출력변동과 역조류에 의하여 수용가 전압은 규정범위($220V{\pm}6%$)를 벗어날 수 있는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방안 중 하나로, 배전선로에 기설된 선로전압조정장치를 이용한 수용가 전압조정 방안이 제안되고 있으나, 기계적으로 동작하는 선로 전압조정장치의 특성으로 인하여, 탭 변경 시간동안 수용가의 전압이 규정범위를 벗어날 가능성을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 선로전압조정장치 탭 변경시, 기계적인 특성에 의하여 탭 동작이 지연되는 시간동안 전기저장장치를 도입하여 전압 문제를 해결할 수 있는 전기저장장치의 최적운용전략을 제시하고, 파라메타 분석법을 이용하여 선로전압조정장치와 협조하여 운용되는 전기저장장치의 적정위치 및 적정용량 산정방안을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 선로전압장치와 전기저장장치의 상호동작에 대한 최적운용 전략과 전기저장장치의 산정 알고리즘을 바탕으로 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 선로전압조정 장치의 탭 변경 시간동안 수용가의 규정전압($220V{\pm}6%$) 여부를 검증함으로써, 본 논문에서 제안한 수법이 계통의 전압안정화에 기여할 수 있는 방안임을 확인하였다.

The power transfer capability is determined by the thermal, dynamic stability and voltage limits of the generation and transmission systems. The voltage stability depends on the reactive power limit and it affects the power transfer capability to a great extent. Then, in most load flow analysis, the reactive power limit is assumed as fixed, relatively different from the actual case. This paper proposes a method for determining the power transfer capability from a static voltage stability point of view using the IPLAN which is a high level language used with PSS/E program. The f-V curve for determining the power transfer capability is determined using Repeated Power Flow method. It Is assumed that the loads are constant and the generation powers change according to the merit order. The maximum reactive power limits are considered as varying similarly with the actual case and the effects of the varied maximum reactive power limits to the maximum power transfer capability are analyzed using a 5-bus power system and a 19-bus practical power system.

In the fabrication and design of MLCCs (Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors) with Ni inner electrode for medium and high voltage, reliability and dielectric breakdown mode have been investigated. For thickness of green sheet, the relationship between the rated voltage versus the thickness of green sheet. Increasing the thickness of green sheet increases the dielectric breakdown voltage. However, a practical limit to this linear relationship occurs at 30 urn and above. As the thickness of green sheet increased, dielectric breakdown voltage and weibull coefficient is increased, but abruptly decrease at 30 urn and 36 urn. When 24 urn of green sheet thickness, weibull coefficient and dielectric breakdown voltage were 13.58 and 70 V/um respectively. The results enabling the MLCCs to demonstrate high levels of reliability at medium and high voltage.

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 proposes a new overmodulation strategy to give a better voltage utilization by tracking voltage vector along hexagon sides. This strategy enables the inverter to control both magnitude and angle of current. Therefore, the vector control using this strategy can lead to better output torque dynamics compared to the conventional slip frequency control with six-step voltage, which is widely used in the traction drive. In this strategy, the d-axis output voltage of a current controller to control the flux is conserved and the q-axis output voltage to control the torque is controlled to place the voltage vector on the hexagon boundary In case of overmodulation. The limited q-axis voltage is used for anti-windup of q-axis current controller. This paper also presents a new field weakening scheme which incorporate the proposed overmodulation strategy. In this scheme, the flux level is selected by both required current limit and the available maximum voltage along hexagon sides. The validity of the proposed overall scheme is confirmed by the computer simulations for a typical traction drive with a 210[㎾] induction motor.
