Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) can inject or absorb real and reactive power to or from a power system at a very fast rate on a repetitive basis. These characteristics make the application of SMES ideal for transmission grid control and stability enhancement. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the SMES model and scheme to control the active and reactive power through the power electronic device. Furthermore, an optimal priority scheme is proposed for the combination of active and reactive power control to be able to stabilize power transient swings.

Unsteady vaporization of a droplet quiescent in a high pressure environment are studied with emphasis placed oil the modeling of equilibrium at vapor-liquid interface. Complete set of conservation equations for liquid and gas phases is numerically time integrated. Vapor-liquid interfacial thermodynamics are solved by f]ash equilibrium calculation method. The model was proper]y validated with experiment and the improvement in the solution accuracy was made. Vaporization of n-pentane fuel droplet in nitrogen background gas is examined. Effects of ambient gas solubility, property variation, transient diffusion, and multicomponent transport on the droplet vaporization are investigated systematically. High-pressure effects on the droplet vaporization is examined and discussed.

Electrical equipment for railway is always experiencing wear and degradation by mechanical, electrical and environmental stress in service and the fault or the accident of high voltage main circuit directly causes operation interruption. Particularly propulsion drive of high speed switching inverter takes the form of specific degradation mechanism such as fast rising transient surge, reflective overvoltage and harmonic stress, and it is known that it threatens the long life and the reliability of electrical equipment. In this paper, statistics of fault and accident on main electrical equipment for railway are presented and also insulation degradation mechanism, which governs end life of electrical device, is analyzed. Finally the method of fault respondence and reliability improvement on the main electrical equipments will be reviewed in order to prevent operation interruption.

In this paper, the standard Dole, Glover, Khargoneker, and Francis (abbr. : DGKF 1989) H\ulcorner controller (H\ulcornerC) is extended to the nonlinear feedback linearization-H\ulcorner/sliding mode controller (NFL-H\ulcorner/SMC), to tackle the problem of the unmeasurable state variables as in the conventional SMC, to obtain smooth control as the linearized controller in a linear system, and to improve the time-domain performance under a worst scenario. The proposed controller is obtained by combining the H\ulcorner estimator with the nonlinear feedback linearization-sliding mode controller (NFL-SMC) and it does not need to measure all the state variables as in the traditional SMC. The proposed controller is applied as a nonlinear power system stabilizer (PSS) for the improvement of the power system damping characteristics of an single machine infinite bus system (SMIBS) connected through a double circuit line. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified by nonlinear time-domain simulation in case of a 3-cycle line-to-ground fault and in case of the parameter variations for the AVR gain K\ulcorner and for the inertia moment M.

This paper deals with analysis for demagnetization characteristic of a ferrite magnet line start motor using FEM. Maximum start and clock currents are calculated by transient state voltage and dynamic equation, and then, these currents are applied to FE analysis. The characteristics of motor according to partial demagnetization are analyzed from FE analytic results, and rotor shape is designed for improvement of demagnetization characteristic.

An efficient control method of ZVS Full-bridge PWM converter with a periodic pulsed-load current is proposed. This novel control method can reduce the switching loss of switches during no load condition. Moreover, by using feed-forwarded load current information this method can obtain better transient dynamics compared to the system with only linear feedback control.

In this paper, we propose the hybrid fuzzy controller(HFC) and the hybrid auto-tuning algorithm. The proposed HFC combined a PID controller with a fuzzy controller concurrently produces the better output performance such as sensitivity improvement in steady state and robustness in transient state than any other controller. In addition, a hybrid auto-tuning algorithm which consists of genetic algorithm and complex algorithm to automatically generate weighting factor, scaling factors and PID control gains optimizes the output of HFC. As an typical example of non-linear system in control theory an inverted pendulum will be controlled by the suggested HFC and illustrated the performance and applicability of this proposed method by simulation.

Whenever the large-capacitor and high-voltage pump motor is opened and closed, the power factor improvement condenser and the low-voltage equipment are often damaged by the sparking and the on-off power serge. In order to find the reason and resolve the problem, we have installed a transition wave recorder for obtaining the transient on-off power serge wave and a power disturbance analyzer for long-time monitoring. In this way we measured and analysed the condition of the high-voltage pump motor whenever it is opened and closed.

전력계통의 안정도는 계통에 외란이 발생하였을 경우 이를 이겨내고 새로운 안정운전 상태에 도달하게 하는 전력계통의 중요한 특성을 의미한다. 향후 전력부하 성장은 필연적으로 전기에너지를 수송하는 전력계통 송전망을 복잡화시키며, 이는 송전망에 중대고장이 초래될 개연성이 과거보다 높아짐을 의미하고 그에 따른 과도안정도 문제가 더욱 부각되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 아직까지 우리나라에서는 중대고장을 예방할 수 있는 안정도 관련 보호계전기들이 안정도 측면보다는 설비보호 측면에서의 검토가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 최적안정도 기법을 실 계통에 응용할 수 있도록 실시간 다기계통 적용 알고리즘 보호계전기를 이용하여 안정도 측면도 함께 고려하였다.

In this research project, two aspects of small signal stability are studied: improvement in Hessenberg method to compute the dominant electromechanical oscillation modes and siting FACTS devices to damp the low frequency oscillation. Fourier transform of transient stability simulation results identifies the frequencies of the dominant oscillation modes accurately. Inverse transformation of the state matrix with complex shift equal to the angular speed determined by Fourier transform enhances the ability of Hessenberg method to compute the dominant modes with good selectivity and small size of Hessenberg matrix. Any specified convergence tolerance is achieved using the iterative scheme of Hessenberg method. Siting FACTS devices such as SVC, STACOM, TCSC, TCPR and UPFC has been studied using the eigen-sensitivity theory of augmented matrix. Application results of the improved Hessenberg method and eigen-sensitivity to New England 10-machine 39-bus and KEPCO systems are presented.
