The ongoing Superconducting Fault Current Limiter(SFCL) development mainly has focused on the application of commercializaton and power system through combining with normal-conducting device, moving away from current-limiting method, which is solely dependant on the existing superconductor. Compared to the structural development above, on the other hand, the research on applying superconducting current-limiting element to SFCL, the heart of SFCL, still has a lot left to do, apart form traditional resistive type SFCL. In this study, we looked into the current limiting characteristic of SFCL using core and coil. YBCO coated conductor with stainless steel stabilizer layer was verified by the excellent of current-limiting element of the resistive type SFCL that has a high Jc and index as well as being superior in mechanical property. Also, we study temperature characteristics and resistance characteristics, max voltage, response time and current-limiting ability that can be an indicator as current-limiting element while applying to superconducting current-limiting element caused by variation of winding direction, winding ratio of SFCL using core and coil.

This paper describes the development and fabrication of a high temperature superconducting motor which consists of HTS rotor and air-core stator. The machine was designed for the rated power of 100hp at 1800 rpm. The HTS field windings are composed of the double-pancake coils wound with AMSC's SUS-reinforced Bi-2223 tape conductor. These were assembled on the support structure and fixed by a bandage of glass-fiber composite. The cooling system is based on the heat transfer mechanism of the thermosyphon by using GM cryocooler as cooling source. The cold head is in contact with the condenser of a Ne-filled thermosyphon. The rotor assembly was tested independently at the stationary state and combined with stator. Characteristic parameters such as reactances, inductances, and time constants were determined to obtain a consistent overview of the machine operation properties. This motor has met all design parameters by demonstrating HTS field winding, cryogenic refrigeration systems and an air-core armature winding cooled with air. The HTS field winding could be cooled down below 30K. No-load test of open-circuit characteristics(OCC) and short-circuit characteristics(SCC) and load test with resistive load bank were conducted in generator mode. Maximum operating current of field winding at 30K was 120A. From OCC and SCC test results synchronous inductance and synchronous reactance were 2.4mH, 0.49pu, respectively. Efficiency of this HTS machine was 93.3% in full load(100hp) test. This paper will present design, construction, and basic experimental test results of the 100hp HTS machine.

In recent years, Vacuum Circuit Breaker(VCB) has been widely used to enhance the confidence and at the same time to ease maintenance of waterworks requipment as the power supply breaker of high voltage motor. When making and breaking the sources as VCB the powerful surge voltage, repetitive reignition phenomenon resulted from exceeding inter-pole endurance voltage of CB, has occured. It has transmitted to the winding of motor stator through the cable, and this surge voltage is repeated over and over again before finishing making and breaking action of CB according to cumulation of repetitive reignition surge, motor has become burned in the end. This paper describes surge voltage occuring in making and breaking of VCB as circuit parameters by transient phenonenon and examines closely the variance of peak values, wavefront-length, wavetail-length, when changing inductance and capacitance of a cable. Finally we will expect to protect motor winding breakdown from surge voltage through parallel connection of suitable-size in the motor.

This paper deals with the mesurement and the analysis by means of EMTP simulation for the fast-rising switching surges. The fast-rising surges having up to 180ns of front time and 3.42 p.u of peak value were measured at the 154KV substations. The fast-rising surges are expected to cause electric breakdown because the penetrating surges to the transformers result in the higher stress in the winding end than the average stress along the winding.

This paper presents optimal design of tooth and yoke width for increasing torque density when designing concentrated winding Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(IPMSM) which is used currently. In case of IPM, characteristic of motor chages according to saturation, thus design consib dering saturation should be done. This paper proposed method to decide tooth and yoke width using magnetic equivalent circuit with calculated magnetic resistance. This method provide less effort and time than FEM using optimal design when deciding tooth and yoke width. Proposed method and FEM are compared and verified.

The mechanical integrity of generator stator windings is one of the critical point because the electric power is generated and conducted to power system through these windings. To cool down the heat emitted from generator winding during its operation, a majority of generators use de-mineralized water characterized by high cooling efficiency. Contrary to such the excellent cooling efficiency, however, the damaged bar insulations attributed to the absorption of cooling water in the generator stator winding lead to highly time- and cost consuming efforts as well as to service deterioration due to unexpected forced outage of generator. It is described that the new design of water absorption sensor using cross capacitance for generator in power plant in order to increase the reliability of water absorption diagnostics for generator stator bar insulation.

This paper analyzes a symmetric active cell balancer for a battery management system. The considered cell balancer uses a forward converter in which the circuit structure is symmetric. This cell-balancing method uses fewer switches and is simpler than the previously proposed active cell-balancing circuits. Active power switches of this cell-balancing circuit operate simultaneously with the same pulse width modulation signals. Therefore, this cell-balancing circuit requires less time to be balanced than a previous bidirectional-forward-converter-based cell balancer. This paper analyzes the operational principles and modes of this cell balancer with computer-based circuit simulation results as well as experimental results in which each unbalanced cell is equalized with this cell balancer. The maximum power transfer efficiency of the investigated cell balancer was 87.5% from the experimental results. In addition to the experimental and analytical results, this paper presents the performance of this symmetric active cell-balancing method.

This paper is for the supplementary studies of the theoretical treaties on the machine dynamics of the amplidyne generator under the influencies of the armature reaction. The author has already shown the time-domain expression of the dynamic relations of the machine with balanced control winding, under this operating condition. In this paper, analytical and experimental studies of a test machine are intended to supplement the theories derived in the previous work, entitled "On the dynamics and the demagnetization effect of the amplidyne generator with auxiliary feedback compensating winding". FACOM 230 digital computer is incorporated for processing of a series of experimental data. The machine dynamics are then numerically analyzed with the aid of the computer. The virtual machine responses to stepwise inputs are compared with the computer output to confirm the influence of the armature reaction effect on to the machine dynamics. dynamics.
