Recently, according to the spread of semiconductor applied technology like motor speed control contrivance, power conversion installation and so on, harmonic ingredients occurred in switching operation flow into a distribution system and increase voltage distortion of distribution system and bring on obstacles like damage, lowering of capability, false operation and so on of various electrical installation. So, in order to consider a countermeasure to limit occurrence quantity of harmonic source, harmonic interception and others, precision measurement and analysis on voltage, current, power, power factor, the each ingredient of harmonic order, the percentage of total harmonic distortion and so forth are needed. In this paper monitoring system to measure and analyze power quality connected with power harmonics was developed and it's performance is verified by measuring and analyzing three-phase voltage and current of R, S, T in the three-phase and four-wire system using the developed measurement system.

In this paper, a method was presented to estimate the contamination degree of outdoor insulator by the measurement of surface leakage current. Contamination is one of the most important factor to determine the performance of insulator. Thus, it is very important to exam the contamination degree on the outdoor insulator. There are many limits, such as reliability of data, interval of measurement and similarity of environmental conditions, in conventional method. So, the estimation technique for contamination has been needed to monitor the accurate pollution degree of insulator in situ. In this investigation, phase difference was measured to compare the variance of phase difference with the contamination degree and relative humidity. From the result, we could confirm the capability of the estimation method.

This paper introduces a measurement system that measures behavior and electrical characteristics of overhead contact line irregular sections in real-time. For verification, we developed a prototype of the real-time overhead contact line irregular section behavior measurement system and a monitoring system for field tests. The current and temperature of contact wires and messenger wires were measured real-time by applying the system at KTX a commercial line. Therefore, acquiring data is possible with the developed system and this system that measures one of the fundamental and key factors, the catenary current, should be applicable to various areas such as detecting characteristics for designing overhead contact lines, enhancing speed, and enhancing energy.

Arc power is consumed energy per unit time between welding electrodes. The relations between consumed energy and electrode distance, current, voltage are nonlinear characteristics. Therefore commercial A.C. wattmeter cannot be used for measurement of the arc power. Most of arc energy measuring systems are developed for relay contact arc measurement. Relaly arc requires integrated instantaneous power because relay arc finishes in a short instant. But most of welding powers are continually consumed powers, therefore instantaneous power must be continually indicated in the form of averagy value. The author propose a new measurement method of power in which the current and voltage of welding electrode is multiplied and the resultant signal is passed to low pass filter in order to remove higher order frequency components. After integrating, the signal is devided by the integral interval and the results are stored in a computer memory.

A new bioelectric impedance measurement method is proposed for the precise measurement of the bioelectric impedance. To obtain the impedance from the known applied a.c. current and the measured voltage signals, a frequency conversion circuit, like the mixer in heterodyne receivers, is introduced to reduce the frequency of the original current. It can be observed from several lines of derivation that the impedance is independent on the amplitude and phase of the mixing signals. This makes it possible to use low-speed analog-to-digital converters and thus utilize cheaper electronic parts in the implementation. The possibility of the method is shown by simulations, and a generic structure applicable to bioelectric impedance measurement devices is also proposed.

The current study presents a geometric measurement and analysis of the section profile for a feature line surface on an automotive outer panel. A feature line surface is the geometry which is a visually noticeable creased line on a smooth panel. In the current study the section profile of a feature line surface is analyzed geometrically. The section profile on the real press panel was measured using a coordinate measuring machine. The section profiles from the CAD model and the real panel are aligned using the same coordinate system defined by two holes near the feature line. In the aligned section profiles the chord length and height of the curved part were measured and analyzed. The results show that the feature line surface on the real panel is doubled in width size.

Optical Temperature Distribution measurement System (OTDS) is completely different from conventional electric point sensor in that it uses the optical fiber itself as the sensor. This new concept in temperature measuring system requires only one fiber to be laid. The use of optical fiber also gives the advantage of small diameter, light weight, explosion resistance, and electromagnetic noise resistance. The OTDS is a sensor which is capable of making a precise measurement over a wide range of areas using only a single optical fiber. Since current temperature sensors, such as the thermocouple, are only used to measure temperaturea of point, they are almost impractical for measuring a wider range because of the extremely high cost. In comparision with current sensors, the optical fiber distributed temperature sensor can make much quicker and more precise measurements at a comparatively low cost.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of a soil resistivity measurement system using 9 auxiliary electrodes; 6 potential-, a reference-, a current-, and a ground- electrode. The measurement system is composed of a current source (300 [Vrms], 5 [A], Sine-wave, 45 $\sim$ 500 [Hz]), a data acquisition (400 [kS/s], 16 bit, 16 Ch.), and an operating program based on a graphical software of National Instrument Co. The proposed system is convenient for choosing the position of electrodes because the soil resistivity is calculated having no concern with the length and the spacing between electrodes.

Due to the high penetration ratio of dispersed generations, overvoltage problem of the feeder has become more an important issue in distribution system operation. This paper proposes a new method for the smart inverter to control reactive power to mitigate voltage rise by the reverse power flow from the DGs. The proposed method controls reactive power based on current measurement while conventional methods use voltage measurement which include unacceptably large errors. Various case studies using MATLAB simulation have been performed to verify effectiveness of proposed method.

After a short review of the iterative optimal blank method, a new method of measuring the shape error for stamped parts with 3D contour lines, which is an essential component of the optimal blank design, is proposed. When the contour line of the target shape does not exist in a plane, but exists in 3D space, especially when the shape of the target contour line is very complicated as in the real automotive parts, then the measurement of the shape error is critical. In the current study, a method of shape error measurement based on the minimum distance is suggested as an evolution of the radius vector method. With the proposed method, the optimal blank shapes of real automotive parts were found and compared to the results of the radius vector method. From the current investigation the new method is found to resolve the issues with the radius vector method.
