A performance analysis for a pulsed plasma thruster(PPT) has been conducted to predict the thrust and current change. Two models were implemented - a one-dimensional lumped circuit analysis model and the Teflon ablation model provided by Michael Keidar. The circuit model incorporating resistance and inductance models was adapted to predict the magnitude of the discharge current. Numerical simulations like current discharge rates with different voltages were reasonably well compared with experimental data. The effects of Teflon ablation on thruster characteristics were investigated.

This paper describes a design concept of NPC1 power stack for 1500VDC megawatt level solar inverter. This stack uses three latest half-bridge IGBT modules with highest power density and operation junction temperature, which enable realization of power level beyond 1MW without paralleling. Critical design concept on loop inductance is explained. Dynamic characteristics are verified by double-pulse test. Thermal characteristics and output power limits are verified by thermal test. Temperature-sensitive component on PCB as output power constraint is identified. Different PCB repositioning solutions are tested to give the overall output power thermal derating curves, which enable output power of 1.15MW at $T_A=55^{\circ}C$ with $15^{\circ}C$ thermal margin. The power stack characteristic and performance change under different thermal environment is further analyzed.

Circuit breakers are a crucial factor in ensuring the safety of a Direct Current (DC) grid. One type of DC circuit breaker, the Z-source DC circuit breaker (ZCB), uses a thyristor, which is a type of semiconductor switch. In the event of a fault in the circuit, the ZCB isolates the fault by generating a zero crossing current in the thyristor. The thyristor quickly and actively isolates the fault while generating a zero crossing current, but thyristor switch cannot control turn-off and the allowable current is lower than the current of the mechanical switch. Therefore, it is best to use a mechanical switch with a high allowable current capacity that is capable of on/off control. Due to the slow reaction time of mechanical switches, they may not isolate the fault during the zero crossing current time interval created by the existing circuit. In this case, the zero crossing current time can be increased by using the property that hinders the rapid change in the current of the inductor. This paper will explore whether adding system inductance to increase the zero crossing current time interval is a solution to this problem. The simulation of changing inductor and capacitor (LC) of the circuit is repeated to find an optimal change in the zero crossing current time according to the LC change and provides an inductor and capacitor range optimized for a specific load. The inductor and capacitor range are expected to provide optimization information in the form LC values for future applications of ZCB's using a mechanical switch.

스마트 디지털 콤파스를 구현하기 위하여 고투자율 등방성 자기물질을 이용한 공진형 마그네토미터(RM)을 설계하였다. 코어에 감은 코일의 인덕턴스 L은 코어의 투자율 $\mu(H)$ 에 비례함을 이론적으로 정립하였고, L의 변화는 간단한 슈미트 트리거 회로를 이용하여 주파수로 획득할 수 있었다. 또한, 반도체 스위치를 이용함으로서 회로를 간단히 구성할 수 있고, 온도에 따른 드리프트와 작동점 이동 문제를 해결할 수 있었다. 자기코어는 Metglas사의 2705M이 최적임을 알았고, RM을 이용하여 측정한 값으로 선체영구자기 성분을 구할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the fault current limiting characteristics for the superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) using magnetic coupling between two coils were investigated. The SFCL consists of a high-$T_c$ superconducting(HTSC) element and two coils. This SFCL has different characteristics that depend on the connection form, the winding direction and the inductance ratio of two coils. The impedance and the operational current of the SFCL can be adjusted higher or lower than the resistance and the critical current of HTSC element. Therefore, the SFCL can change the amplitude of the limited fault current. To confirm it, the HTSC element was modeled and the fault current limiting characteristics of the SFCL were analysed through computer simulation. It was obtained from the analysis that the connection form and the winding direction of two coils of the SFCL were the important design parameters.

In this paper, a new algorithm for sensorless speed control of switched reluctance motor (SRM) is proposed. It is based on the measurement of initial rate of change of phase current. The initial rate of rise of phase current mainly depends up on the phase inductance at the time instant when the phase is excited. Therefore, the measurement of initial di/dt permits rotor position estimation, which is used to trigger the next phase. In the proposed technique, there is no need to generate additional current pulses when a phase is not excited. Therefore, this scheme does not introduce the unwanted braking torque. Also, only one current measurement is made every time a phase is excited. This reduces the computational load on the micro-controller and enhances the speed range of the sensorless drive. By using this scheme it is possible to implement the sensorless control of SRM using low cost micro-controller.

This paper presents the method to calculate the motor parameters considering skew in EPS Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM). The skew is applied to stator or rotor by general technology used for design of reducing noise and vibration in motor. The characteristics analysis of motor including the skew is mostly used by 3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA), though, this analysis is a very time-consuming to perform. Besides, The reliability lacks due to the considerable change of motor characteristics according to the number of elements in 3D FEA. However, analysis time and effort can be saved by characteristic analysis considering skew using 2D FEA. Therefore, in this paper, a quick and accurate method for the calculations of motor parameters considering skew is suggested. The proposed method is verified by the comparison of calculated and experimental results.

돌극형 동기 릴럭턴스 전동기의 고속회전 영역에서, 철손의 영향은 무시할 수 없게 된다. 본 논문에서는 돌 극형 동기 릴럭턴스 전동기에 대하여 고정자 철손이 고정자 내의 둥가 와전류에 의해서 발생한다는 가정 하에서, 둥가 인덕턴스에 직렬로 등가 철손저항이 삽입된 모델을 이용하여 철손을 고려한 전압방정식을 유도하였다. 또, 동작 주파수의 증가에 따른 철손의 변동은 벡터제어계의 제어성능을 악화시키고,d 축과 q 축의 쇄교자속에 서로 간섭하여 벡터제어의 적용을 어렵게 한다. 따라서, d 축과 q 축을 비간섭화 하여 철손저항의 영향을 제거해서 비간섭 토크제어가 가능한 벡터제어법올 제안하였으며, 시뮬레이션올 통하여 이를 확인하였다.

The Theory of operation of switched reluctance motors (SRM) depends on the reluctance torque, where energy is transferred to stator winding only. Although its construction is simple, the electrical design is complex, due to the switching configuration needed to deliver power to stator coils. However, because of the nonlinearly of magnetic circuit, SRM has torque ripple. This paper proposes a new strategy to drive SRM from a single-phase AC supply. Each stator winding is connected to AC-DC or AC-AC converters, which is called branch. All branches are connected in parallel to a single-phase AC supply. A shaft encoder allows current production in stator winding during the positive torque production region and terminates it during the negative torque production region. A magnetic flux is produced between stator poles when current is supplied from AC supply to stator coil and repeats many cycles as long as the rate of change of stator inductance is positive. Different possibilities for the configurations of AC-AC or AC-DC converters are introduced to drive SRM from the single-phase AC supply. A case study is presented for a SRM fed from AC supply through semi-controlled AC-DC converter is presented. A simulation model is introduced and verified by experimental rig for two-phase SRM.
