This paper presents a voltage control algorithm for a hybrid multilevel inverter based on a staged-perception of the inverter voltage vector diagram. The algorithm is applied to control a three-stage eighteen-level hybrid inverter, which has been designed with a maximum number of symmetrical levels. The inverter has a two-level main stage built using a conventional six-switch inverter and medium- and low- voltage three-level stages constructed using cascaded H-bridge cells. The distinctive feature of the proposed algorithm is its ability to avoid the undesirable high switching frequency for high- and medium- voltage stages despite the fact that the inverter's dc sources voltages are selected to maximize the number of levels by state redundancy elimination. The high- and medium- voltage stages switching algorithms have been developed to assure fundamental switching frequency operation of the high voltage stage and not more than few times this frequency for the medium voltage stage. The low voltage stage is controlled using a SVPWM to achieve the reference voltage vector exactly and to set the order of the dominant harmonics. The inverter has been constructed and the control algorithm has been implemented. Test results show that the proposed algorithm achieves the desired features and all of the major hypotheses have been verified.

To compare the lightning impulse measurement capabilities of high voltage laboratory, a lightning impulse voltage measuring system from HUT is circulated around the world. This paper presents test results after second round of this worldwide exercise. KERI's impulse voltage measuring system compared with the circulating reference measuring system from HUT at voltage levels of 80, 160, 240, 320 and 400 kV. Three impulse shapes were used, i.e. full smooth lightning impulse with both short (0.84 $\sim$ 0.95 ${\mu}s$) and long front (1.45 $\sim$ 1.56 ${\mu}s$), and chopped impulse with time to chopped impuse. Impulse peak value ($U_p$) and time parameters ($T_1$, $T_2$ and $T_c$) according to IEC 60060-1 were compared.

A new developed impulse current test system(100kV, 250kJ)is presented, which can carry out all impulse current and performance tests on surge arrester sections with rated voltage up to 12kV according to IEC 60099-4(2001). The maximum achievable peak value is 200kA for the impulse current $4/10{\mu}s$ and 60kA for the $30/80{\mu}s$ and $8/20{\mu}s$. The long duration current impulse is realized from class 1 to class 5. The digital transient recorder(4 channels 60MS/S 10bit) is used for measuring AC voltage, impulse current, reference voltage and leakage current. The complex control, measuring, evaluation and data storage system is controlled by one industrial PC system.

High-bandwidth DRAM을 위해 1Gb/s의 데이터 전송률까지 동작하고 그 출력 전압 스윙이 온도와 전원 전압(VDD) 변동에 무관한 CMOS open-drain 출력 구조 회로를 설계하였다. 출력 구동 회로는 여섯 개의 binary-weighted NMOS 트랜지스터로 구성되는데, 이 여섯 개 중에서 ON시킬 current control register의 내용은 추가 호로 없이 DRAM 칩에 존재하는 auto refresh 신호를 이용하여 새롭게 수정하였다. Auto refresh 시간 구간동안 current control register를 수정하는데, 이 시간 구간동안 부궤환 (negative feedback) 동작에 의해 low level 출력 전압($V_OL$)이 저전압 밴드갭 기준전압 발생기(bandgap reference voltage generator)에 의해서 만들어진 기준전압($V_{OL.ref}$)과도 같도록 유지된다. 테스트 칩은 1Gb/s의 데이터 전송률까지 성공적으로 동작하였다. 온도 $20^{\circ}C$~$90^{\circ}C$, 전원 전압 2.25V~2.75V영역에서 최악의 경우 제안된 출력 구동 회로의 $V_{OL.ref}$와 $V_OL$의 변동은 각각 2.5%와 725%로 측정된 반면, 기존의 출력 구동 회로의 $V_OL$의 변동은 같은 온도의 전원 접압의 영역에 대해 24%로 측정되었다.

This paper introduces the main function and protection method of IGBT gate driver that designed by KOROS. Recently, the applications of insulated gate bipolar transistors(IGBTs) have expanded widely, particularly in the area of railway converters. This driver is suitable for railway traction applications, so they are designed for circumstance of railway vehicle such as vibration. The input control power for this driver is supplied from battery charger of railway. it is no necessary an isolated power supply board or auxiliary power supply, with substantial savings in cost and space in railway applications. This gate driver can be used wide range of input voltage. So, performance of the driver has no relation with the battery voltage(70V∼110V). The protection methods of IGBT gate driver have many kind of ways, but this gate driver it designed to apply to converter for railway system, so this gate driver includes protection for arm short current and low control power voltage, etc. And the process of protection method and protection reference value are optimized by means of sufficient test with our own facilities.

본 논문에서는 직류 전력을 공급하기 위한 사이리스터 컨버터의 출력 응답특성을 개선하기 위해 데이터 병렬 루프를 가지는 PID 제어 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식에서 사이리스터 컨버터의 점호각은 부하전류와 지령전압에 따라 결정된 점호각을 제어기와 병렬로 연결된 데이터 루프에서 발생하고, 이 점호각에 의해 발생하는 출력전압의 오차를 PID 제어기에서 보상하여 제어하는 방식이다. 제안된 방식의 실제적인 적용에서, 부하전류에 의해 병렬 데이터 루프의 점호각이 급격하게 변동하는 것을 억제하기 위해 간단한 디지털 저역통과 필터를 통하여 부하전류와 지령전압의 크기에 따라 룩-업 테이블 방식의 점호각이 결정되도록 설계하였다. 제안된 방식은 50[A]급의 사이리스터컨버터 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

반도체 소자가 소형화 되면서 소자의 신뢰성을 유지하고 전력 소모를 줄이기 위해 기가-비트 DRAM의 동작 전압은 1.5V 이하로 줄어들 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 기가-비트 DRAM을 구현하기 위해 저전압 회로 설계 기술이 요구된다. 이 연구에서는 지금까지 발표된 저전압 DRAM 회로 설계 기술에 대한 조사결과를 기술하였고, 기가-비트 DRAM을 위해 4가지 종류의 저전압 회로 설계 기술을 새로이 제안하였다. 이 4가지 저전압 회로 설계 기술은 subthreshold 누설 전류를 줄이는 계층적 negative-voltage word-line 구동기, two-phase VBB(Back-Bias Voltage) 발생기, two-phase VPP(Boosted Voltage) 발생기와 밴드갭 기준전압 발생기에 대한 것인데, 이에 대한 테스트 칩의 측정 결과와 SPICE 시뮬레이션 결과를 제시하였다.

Lightning impulse voltage is essential to evaluate the insulation performance of electric power apparatus. Recently international standard (IEC-60) on high voltage measurement techniques are being revised. In the draft of this standard, a new calibration method is introduced and the accuracy of most industrial measuring systems is maintained by means of comparison test against the reference measuring systems. Comparison tests of dividers for chopped lightning impulse measurement were rallied out by KERI. The 700kV shielded resisitive divider with and without compensation element were done comparison test with 300kV PTB divider which have the similar charateristics as that were circulated among the laboratories. This paper reports on the calculation results of response charateristics obtained by EMTP and the comparison test results with chopped lightning impulse voltages from 150kV to 250kV. It is demonstrated that KERI are capable of realizing the idea in the revision of the IEC standand, that is, to establish traceability.

Glow corona is a kind of streamer-free corona that can suppress upward leaders in transmission lines. Thus, it has good application potential in lightning protection. This paper investigates its corona characteristics. The suppression characteristic of glow corona on streamer is studied in air gap under negative DC voltage by wrapping thin wires on the electrode. The effect of thin wire winding patterns on the gap breakdown voltage is analyzed. Results are considered to be attributed to the inception condition of glow corona. Thus an inception test of glow corona is also conducted, and the inception voltage is obtained. Results show that the inception voltage decreases with short winding pitch. Thus an investigation on the inception of glow corona influenced by thin wire is conducted, and an influential factor is proposed to evaluate the influence. The inception regular of thin wire glow corona presented in this paper has certain reference value for the application of glow corona in transmission lines.
