This paper proposes a voltage compensation device direct control strategy to realize the distributed, autonomous voltage control of the distribution system, which based on voltage data collected from customers of the remote site under the ubiquitous-based distribution system. In the proposed method, The ULTC and the SVR(Step Voltage Regulator)s compensate autonomously the voltage for self-compensation area based on the voltage data furnished from the ubiquitous device of customers. Also, the SVRs overcome the limit of single-operation of ULTC by the interlocking operation with the ULTC and enhance the voltage compensation capability for the customer. In particular, an optimization design method and a fuzzy design method are compared to determine the effective control method of the voltage compensator under the ubiquitous-based on-line operation environments. In fuzzy method, the tap of voltage compensator is defined as output member. Finally, the proposed two methods are implemented in Visual C++ MFC, the effectiveness is proved by simulation based on the worst virtual voltage data. Also, an optimal voltage compensation strategy is determined under on-line environments based on analyzed results.

This paper represents the detection method of voltage disturbance for high temperature superconducting (HTS) tape using electromagnetically coupled coils. In order to detect the voltage as the superconductor transits from the superconducting state to the normal conduction state, voltage taps are widely used to get the voltage signal. And voltage taps are connected to data acquisition device via signal wires. However this new suggested method can detect the superconducting transition voltage without signal wires between voltage taps and data acquisition device by using electromagnetically coupled coils. This system consists of two electromagnetically coupled coils, the first coil to detect and transmit the voltage of HTS tape and the second coil to pick up the transmitted voltage from the first coil. By using this new suggested method, we can build the 'separated voltage-detection system'. HTS tape and first coil are located under liquid nitrogen vessel and the second coil is located under room temperature condition. In this paper, experiments are performed to verify the feasibility of the proposed method. As the result of the experiment, the separated voltage-detection system using electromagnetically coupled coils can successfully observe superconducting-normal transition of HTS tapes.

This paper deals with methodology to control an automatic substation system. The control system can predict the power system condition by a voltage stability index (VSI). The strategies in this paper is called as Voltage-Reactive Power Control (VRPC), which regulates an abnormal voltage of a target substation by using coordination between tap changers and shunt capacitor/reactor. This method is efficient for better voltage profile. The monitoring substation includes whole of substations around the contingency event. The control quantities of the monitoring substations are decided by the calculation of the VSI, called as a Z-index. Case studies with BC Hydro-Quebec system are presented to illustrate this approach using real-time simulator.

For stable and sustainable energy supply, distributed generator (DG) has become an essential and indispensable element from environmental and energy security perspectives. However, installation of DG in distribution systems may cause negative affects on feeders because power outputs of DG could be changed irregularly. One of major negative affects is variation in voltage profile. In general, voltage regulation devices such as under load tap changer (ULTC) at distribution substation and step voltage regulator (SVR) along feeder in distribution system are used to maintain customers' receiving voltage within a predetermined range. These regulators are controlled by line drop compensation (LDC) method which calls for two parameters; the equivalent impedance and the load center voltage. Therefore, consideration of DG outputs in the LDC parameter design procedure may give large impact on the installable DG capacity. This paper proposes a method that estimates maximum Installable DG capacity considering LDC parameters of ULTC and SVR. The proposed algorithm is tested with model network.

This paper describes a new economical voltage sag and swell generator suitable to the evaluations of high power custom power devices such as DVR (Dynamic Voltage Restorer) and DSTATCOM (Distribution Static Compensator). This system was designed to generate the several power quality disturbances in MVA power ratings - voltage sag and swell, under voltage, over voltage and harmonic distortions. The basic idea for voltage sag and swell is to use the voltage drop across a reactor, while the voltage swell is to use the step-up transformer and the TCR(Thyristor Controlled Reactor). In this paper, two identical 3 phase TCRs and a step-up transformer with tap changer are used. Additional harmonic filters are added to reduce the voltage distortion when TCRs are operated. Simulation results are given for several cases of voltage sag and swell generations.

A dielectric pellets bedded parallel plates with a membrane centered have been proposed as an ion separation and collection system in water. and effects of the relative dielectric constant and the applied square wave pulse voltage on the characteristics of ion separation and collection in tap water and NaCl dissolved tap water have been investigated. As a result, electrolyzed water of pH 3.1 and 10.6 were obtained with only tap water at the pulse current of 1.0[A] and flow rate of 0.5[LPM]. And the higher ionized water of pH 2.8 and pH 11.7 ware obtained in 0.1[%wt] NaCl dissolved water. When the dielectric pellets of BaTiO$_3$ having the highest dielectric constant were bedded in the ion separation and collection cell, the ionized water of pH 2.7 and pH 11.7 were obtained with only tap water. And the ionized water of pH 2.4 and pH 12.0 were obtained in 0.1[wt%] NaCl dissolved tap water with the dielectrics pellets bedded ones.

The following thesis researched into the characteristics of electrolytic ion water with different levels of electrical conductivity by adding NaCl into tap water which is for experimental use in multi-layered electrolytic ion water generator. Electrolytic ion water is generated by underwater electrolysis and the electrolysis generator has a simple structure, is easy to control and is highly utilized in industries. Electrolytic ion water is useful in many areas since it has a superior sterilizing power, has no possibility of secondary pollution itself as water and removes active oxygen. In the experiment, we used tap water with NaCl excluded and water with three different levels of electrical conductivity by changing NaCl concentration levels into three levels. The features of current and voltage in electrolytic ion water represented a form of quadric instead of the linear characteristic following ohm's law. As well, as the electric conductivity of water and applied voltage increased, we were able to generate much stronger acid water and alkali water.

In this paper, a new algorithm of Integrated Volt/Var Control (IVVC) is proposed using Volt/Var control for the Distribution Automation System (DAS) based on the modeling of the distributed load and the distributed current. In the proposed, the load flow based on the modeling of the distributed load with Distributed Generation and the distributed current are estimated from constants of four terminals using the measurement of the current and power factor from a Feeder Remote Terminal Unit (FRTU). For Integrated Volt/Var Control (IVVC), the gradient method is applied to find optimal solution for tap and capacity control of OLTC (On-Load Tap Changers), SVR (Step Voltage Regulator), and SC (Shunt Condenser). What is more Volt/Var control method is proposed using moving the tie switch as well as IVVC algorithm using power utility control. In the case studies, the estimation and simulation network have been testified in Matlab Simulink.

An 6.4-Gb/s/channel 4-PAM transceiver is designed for a high speed memory application. The asymmetric 4-PAM signaling scheme is proposed to increase the voltage and time margins, and reduces the reference noise effect in a receiver by 33%. To reduce ISI in a channel, 1-tap pre-emphasis of a transmitter is used. The proposed asymmetric 4-PAM transceiver was implemented by using 0.13um 1-poly 6-metal CMOS process with 1.2V supply. The active area and power consumption of 1-charmel transceiver including a PLL are $0.294um^2$ and 6mW, respectively.
