This paper proposes a low power-loss current measurement using a resistor and bypass switch. Conventional current sensing method using a resistor has a disadvantage of power loss which degrades the efficiency of the entire systems. On the other hand, proposed measurement technique operating with bypass-switch connected in parallel with sensing resistor can reduce power loss significantly the current sensor. The propose measurement works for discrete-time sampling of current sensing. Even while the analog-digital conversion does not occur at the controller, the sensing voltage across the sensor still causes ohmic conduction loss without information delivery. Hence, the bypass switch bypasses the sensing current with a small amount of power loss. In this paper, a 90[W] prototype hardware has been implemented for photovoltaic MPPT experimental verification of the proposed low power-loss current measurement technique. From the results, it can be seen that PV power observation is successfully done with the proposed method.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61788-26:2020 provides guidelines for measuring the critical current of Rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) tapes using two methods: linear ramp and step-hold methods. The critical current measurement criterion, 1 or 0.1 μV/cm of electric field from IEC 61788-26 has been normally applied to REBCO coils or magnets. No-insulation (NI) winding technique has many advantages in aspects of electrical and thermal stability and mechanical integrity. However, the leak current from the NI REBCO coil can cause distortion in critical current measurement due to the characteristic resistance which causes the radial current flow paths. In this paper, we simulated the NI REBCO coil by applying both linear ramp and step-hold methods based on a simplified equivalent circuit model. Using the circuit analysis, we analyzed and evaluated both methods. By using the equivalent circuit model, we can evaluate the critical current of the NI REBCO coil, resulting in an estimation error within 0.1%. We also evaluate the accuracy of critical current measurement using both the linear ramp and step-hold methods. The accuracy of the linear ramp method is influenced by the inductive voltage, whereas the accuracy of the step-hold method depends on the duration of the hold-time. An adequate hold time, typically 5 to 10 times the time constant (τ), makes the step-hold method more accurate than the linear ramp method.

The power characteristics of the Mg-Air fuel cell were investigated with regard to variation of load conditions. The types of load current using for the Mg-Air fuel cell with 10% NaCl electrolyte were step type, ramp type and pulse type. It was found that transient phenomena occurred in the step current load, which is due to activate of the oxidation-reduction reaction process. And the transient time increase with the load current increase. In the load current of ramp type, the slop of voltage drop increased with current load slop ${\alpha}$ increase. The load voltage and power decreased according to the pulse period of load current decrease were attributed to the metal sludges.

This paper proposes a novel current compensation technique that can eliminate the harmonic currents included in line currents without computation of harmonic current components. A current controller with fast dynamics for an active filter is described. Harmonic currents are directly controlled without the need for sensing and computing the harmonic current of the load current, thus simplifying the control system. Current compensation is done in the time domain, allowing a fast time response. The DC voltage control loop keeps the voltage across the DC capacitor constant. High power factor control by an active filter is described. All control functions are implemented in software using a single-chip microcontroller, thus simplifying the control circuit. Any current-controlled synchronous rectifier can be used as a shunt active filter through only the simple modification of the software and the addition of current sensors. It is shown through experimental results that the proposed controller gives good performance for the shunt active filter.

In DC electric railways, while an electric rail car is driving, a part of the working current returned to the substation through rails leaks into the ground. Such a stray current causes railway facilities and metal objects to corrode electrolytically. Therefore, change of stray current needs to be monitored constantly. But so far in domestic, the research on stray current measuring techniques and system adaption are insufficient. To estimate stray current, this paper addresses a method of monitoring the return current that is returned into the negative pole of the substation in real time.

제주도 서부 연안역인 한림 정치망어장의 해황특성을 규명하기 위해 1995년과 1996년에 실시한 정선, 정점조사의 수온, 염분자료, 시계열분석, 해수유동 상황 둥을 정리 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 한림 정치망어장은 하계에 수온, 염분의 일교차 (수온 $0.4\~9^{\circ}C$, 염분 $0.20\~7.50\%_{\circ}$)가 매우 크고 단기적인 수온, 염분변화가 심하다. 즉 이 어장은 외측의 중$\cdot$저층수 (저온, 고염분수)와 연안 수 (고온, 저염분수)가 조류 방향에 따라 교호로 출현하고, 조류의 강약이나 바람 등에 의한 연직혼합의 정도에 따라 수온, 염분변화의 크기에 차가 나기 때문이라고 해석된다. 2. 한림 정치망에서 실시한 22일 (1996년 8월 19일$\~$9월 10일)간의 mooring 결과에 의하면 소조기의 썰물과 밀물의 평균유속과 유향은 각각 9.1cm/sec의 남서류, 11.6cm/sec의 북 또는 북동류이며 최강유속은 썰물 때 157cm/sec, 밀물 때 22.6cm/sec 이다. 대조기의 썰물과 밀물의 평균유속과 유향은 각각 10.4cm/sec의 남서류, 12.3cm/sec 북 또는 북동류이며 최강유속은 썰물 때 19.4cm/sec, 밀물 때 20cm/sec로 대조기와 소조기의 유속차가 크지 않고 밀물의 유속이 썰물의 유속보다 약간 빠르다. 반일주조 ($M_2$)의 장축방향의 유속벡터가 일주조. ($K_1$)의 그것에 비해 1.5정도 크며 두성분의 장축방향은 서북서$\~$동남동이고 북서방향으로 3.25cm/sec의 항류성분이 나타났다. 비양도와 차귀도 사이의 제주도 서부 연안역에서 3일간 (1996년 7월 25일$\~$27일)실시한 TGPS Buoy 추적결과에 지하면 연안역의 평균유속과 유향은 썰물 때 1.6 knot의 남서류, 순간 최대 유속은 4.8 knot 밀물 때 1.3 knot의 북동류, 순간최대유속은 3.7 knot였으며 외해측 (연안에서 2mile정도)의 밀물 때 평균유속과 유향은 1.7 knot의 북서 내지 북동류였고 0.3 knot 정도의 북동방향의 항류가 나타났다.

ADC railway system has low feeder voltage, The fault current can be smaller than the current of load starting. So it is important to discriminate between the small fault current and the load starting current. The load starting current increases step by step but the fault current increases all at once. As for the load starting current, the time constant of load current at each step is much smaller than that of the fault current. First, to detect faults in DC railway systems, an algorithm using the time constant calculated by the method of least squares is presented in this paper.

For analyzing the characteristics of arc welding processes, an algorithm is necessary to determine the metal transfer mode, arc stability and weld quality. In this study, the weight of spatter during welding was selected for determining the arc stability, which is very relevant to the occurrence of spatter. Weld spatter occurs mainly at the moment when the short circuit is formed and also when it is broken causing the arc to restrike. Based on this fact, the arc stability can be determined by finding the suitable parameters of welding current and arc voltage which influence the weight of spatter. Through various welding experiments, the peak current, the arcing time, the short circuit time, the current and its slope at the start of short circuit were found mainly to influence the weight of spatter. For the convenient usage, an index was proposed by combining all these parameters. It was found that the index is very effective for determining the arc stability.

The goal of this paper is to developed a DSP based power analyzing and control system by 3-Dimensional (3-D) space current co-ordinates. A developed system is made up of 486-PC and DSP (Digital Signal Processor) board, Active Power Filter, Non-linear thyristor load, and Power analyzing and control program for Windows. Power is analyzed using signal processing techniques based on the correlation between voltage and current waveforms. Since power analysis algorithm is performed by DSP, power analysis is achieved in real-time even under highly dynamic nonlinear loading conditions. Combining control algorithm with power analysis algorithm is performed by DSP, power analysis is achieved in real-time even under highly dynamic nonlinear loading conditions. Combining control algorithm with power analysis algorithm, flexibility of the proposed system which has both power analysis mode and control mode, is greatly enhanced. Non-active power generated while speed of induction motor is controlled by modulating firing angle of thyristor converter, is compensated by Active Power Filter for verifying a developed system. Power analysis results, before/after compensation, are numerically obtained and evaluated. From these results, various graphic screens for time/frequency/3-D current co-ordinate system are displayed on PC. By real-time analysis of power using a developed system, power quality is evaluated, and compared with that of conventional current co-ordinate system. (author). refs., figs. tabs.
