SC(Static Condenser) in KEPCO is used in voltage control and power factor compensation. Currently KEPCO uses SC to 154kv 50MVA and 23kv SMVA. It is not important in old days because a SC bank accident has no effect on power system. But we are interested in the SC bank for power quality in these days. The SC Bank has a reactor and a condenser using series connection. It is operated in critical point for resonance circuit normally. Therefore the SC bank has a small reliability against other Power instruments. If a 4th harmonic frequency as a resonance frequency is supplied in system, the condenser is damaged because of a resonance current. And a trip and a closing for CB(Circuit Breaker) in many times will have a big influence of SC bank destruction. General OCR(Over Current Relay) observing SC bank is not useful for this protection We think that protection relay must be have the SC bank characteristics. A solution for this problem is active Power, resonance frequency and impedance.

In this paper, the forced resonance vibration of porous functionally graded (FG) curved nanobeam is examined. In order to capture the hardening and softening mechanisms of nanostructure, the nonlocal strain gradient theory is employed to build the size-dependent model. Using the Timoshenko beam theory together with the Hamilton principle, the equations of motion for the curved nanobeam are derived. Then, Navier series are used in order to obtain the dynamical deflections of the porous FG curved nanobeam with simply-supported ends. It is found that the resonance position of the nanobeam is very sensitive to the nonlocal and strain gradient parameters, material variation, porosity coefficient, as well as geometrical conditions. The results indicate that the resonance position is postponed by increasing the strain gradient parameter, while the nonlocal parameter has the opposite effect on the results. Furthermore, increasing the opening angle or length-to-thickness ratio will result in resonance position moves to lower-load frequency.

A multi-resonant broadband acoustic transducer with six Tonpilz elements operating at different resonant frequencies in a transducer assembly was fabricated, tested, and analyzed. A compensated transducer, modified by adding series inductance to the developed multi-resonant broadband transducer, was shown to provide improved bandwidth performance with a relatively more uniform frequency response compared with the uncompensated transducer. By controlling the series inductance, flat frequency response characteristics at two frequency bands were obtained over the range 38-52 kHz with 1.1 mH inductance and 50-60 kHz with 0.4 mH inductance. These results suggest that the operating frequency of the developed multi-resonant broadband transducer in a chirp echo sounder can be shifted to a different frequency band that is optimized according to the environment for more effective echo surveys of fishing grounds.

Reactors are connected with capacitors to passive filter circuits for reducing harmonics caused by power conversion application. This passive filter frequently gets out of order by voltage and current stress. Especially filter reactor has too much voltage harmonics components, its trouble rate is higher than capacitor. In this paper, we analyzed voltage and current of reactor and capacitor used for passive filter by simulation and measurement. If reactor has a tolerance on variation of reactance value, series resonance frequency is different from originally filter design frequency and parallel resonance can be generated at the close point of the former. Because filter absorbs harmonic component of non-linear load, much of harmonic voltage has been impacted on reactor.

Recent major domestic facilities, such as nuclear power plants, many control cables are installed and are degraded by long-term use, but research on deterioration diagnosis is lacking. In the event of a fault in the cable due to deterioration can be developed into a major accident such as the main plant is stopped, so the deterioration diagnostic techniques of high reliability for the cable is required. In this paper, proposes a methodology using a cable resonance that can effectively diagnose the deterioration of the cable. Prior to the test, we developed a setup for stable measuring the characteristics of the cable and it verified the suitable of the measurement set-up in terms of interactivity and reliability, also measured S-parameters applying verified measurement set-up to the cables that deterioration degree is different. Then, we had amplified the difference in resonance frequency between the healthy state and the deteriorated state using connection in a series of measured S-parameters. In a result from the method, we have verified that the more deteriorate the cables is, the more decrease the resonance frequency is. Measured results are justified by inducing the resonance frequency calculation of the cable from the S- parameters represented by the hyperbolic function formula. VNA(Vector Network Analyzer) for S-parameter measurements used in this study is Agilent E5061B and shielded twisted-pair cables was used for deterioration diagnostic test.

The flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) can apply the magnetic field into the high-$T_C$ superconducting(HTSC) element by adopting the magnetic field coil in its third winding. To apply the magnetic field into the HTSC element effectively, the capacitor for LC resonance is connected in series with the magnetic field coil. However, the current waveform of third winding for the application of the magnetic field is affected by the LC resonance condition for the frequency of the source voltage and can affect the waveform of the limited fault current. In this paper, the current waveform of the third winding in the flux-lock type SFCL according to LC resonance condition during a fault period was analyzed. From the differential equation for its electrical circuit, the current equation of the third winding was derived and described with the natural frequency and the damping ratio as design parameters. Through the analysis according to the design parameters of the third winding, the waveform of the limited fault current was confirmed to be influenced by the current waveform of the third winding and the design condition for the stable fault current limiting operation of this SFCL was obtained.

In this paper, a design of planar microwave bias-tee using lumped elements was presented. The bias-tee is composed of 2 blocks; DC block and RF choke. For this design of the bias-tee, a wideband capacitor was used for DC block. For a RF choke, a series connection of inductors which have different SRFs is used for a RF choke. In the RF choke, a series connection of resistor and capacitor was added in shunt to eliminate a loss from a series resonance. The designed bias-tee was implemented by using 1608 SMT chip components. The fabricated bias-tee was measured using Anritsu 3680K fixture which enables to remove an effect of a connector. The fabricated bias-tee presented -15 dB of return loss and -1.5 dB insertion loss at 10 MHz~18 GHz.

In this paper, we implemented and analyzed a wireless power transfer (WPT) system with a CSPR topology. CSPR refers to constant current source, series resonance circuit topology of a transmitting coil, parallel resonance circuit topology of a receiving coil, and pure resistive loading. The transmitting coil is coupled by a magnetic field to the receiving coil without wire. Although the electromotive force (emf) is small (about 4.5V), the voltage on load resistor is 148V, because a parallel resonance scheme was adopted for the receiving coil. The implemented WPT system is designed to be able to transfer up to 1 kW power and can operate a LED TV. Before the implementation, the EMF reduction mechanism based on the use of ferrite and a metal shield box was confirmed by an EM simulation and we found that the EMF can be suppressed dramatically by using this shield. The operating frequency of the implemented WPT system is 30.7kHz and the air gap between two coils is 150mm. The power transferred to the load resistor is 147W and the real power transfer efficiency is 66.4 %.

In this paper, a LC series resonant boost converter using a single switch is proposed. The proposed topology contains additional passive elements in the conventional boost converter and performs Zero Voltage Switching(ZVS) without an additional auxiliary switch when a main switch turned on and off. The switch off time of the proposed system determined by LC series resonance, thus a on-time variable Pulse Frequency Modulation(PFM) method is adapted to control output voltage in the proposed converter. Operational modes of the proposed topology are divided with respected to the current conduction paths and then through the theoretical analysis and experimental results, operational modes and characteristics of the proposed converter are verified.

In this paper, the new LLCL filter is proposed for grid connected three-phase PWM inverter for passive damping. LLCL filter inserts a small inductor in the branch of the capacitor of the traditional LCL filter to compose a series resonant circuit to reduce the switching-frequency component on grid current. Using LLCL filter, the switching-frequency current ripple components can be attenuated much better than the LCL filter, leading to a decrease in the total inductance. However, the resonance phenomena caused by zero impedance from the addition of LC branch in LLCL filter can be a big problem. Resonance phenomena of LLCL filter can be a source of grid system instability, so proper damping methods are required. However, it is difficult to apply a passive damping method in the conventional LLCL filter, because the damping resistor increase impedance of the LC branch. Therefore, switching frequency component of grid current can not much attenuated by low Q of LC series resonance effect. In this paper, a new LLCL filter is proposed to overcome the conventional LLCL filter with passive damping. The validity of the proposed method is proven by simulation and experimental result.
