본 논문은 교류전기철도의 불평형 부하로 인해 야기되는 3상 계통 전력의 불평형 특성을 저감하기 위한 제어 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 전력보상장치 설계 및 이를 적용한 실험을 통해 성능을 검증하였다. 전기철도 시스템과 동일하게 3상 전압을 2개의 단상 전압으로 변환하는 스코트 변압기를 적용하였으며, M상과 T상 출력 단에 부하 및 3레벨 백투백 컨버터가 연계되어 구성된다. 백투백 컨버터는 M, T상의 불평형 부하 간 발생하는 유효전력의 차이를 실시간으로 감시하고 양방향 특성을 이용해 전력을 보상하는 역할을 수행한다. 백투백 컨버터의 유효전력은 동기좌표계 PI 제어를 통해 수행되며, DC 링크 전체 전압 및 밸런싱 제어는 시스템의 응답성 향상을 위해 M, T상 컨버터가 공동으로 분담하여 제어한다. 제안된 전력보상장치의 성능 확인을 위해 M상 5kW, T상 1kW 불평형 부하가 연계된 조건에서 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 진행하였으며, 실험 결과 전력보상장치의 동작 후 3상 전류의 불평형률이 65.04%에서 6.38%로 58.66% 저감되는 것을 통해 본 논문에서 제안하는 전력보상장치의 우수한 성능을 검증하였다.

This paper proposes a modified current differential relay for $Y-{\Delta}$ transformer protection. The relay uses the same restraining current as a conventional relay, but the differential current is modified to compensate for the effects of the exciting current. A method to estimate the circulating component of the delta winding current is proposed. To cope with the remanent flux, before saturation, the core-loss current is calculated and used to modify the measured differential current. When the core then enters saturation, the initial value of the flux is obtained by inserting the modified differential current at the start of saturation into the magnetization cure. Thereafter, the core flux is then derived and used in conjunction with the magnetization curve to calculate the magnetizing current. A modified differential current is then derived that compensates for the core-loss and magnetizing currents. The performance of the proposed differential relay was compared against a conventional differential relay. Test results indicate that the modified relay remained stable during severe magnetic inrush and over-excitation, because the exciting current was successfully compensated. This paper concludes by implementing the relay on a hardware platform based on a digital signal processor. The relay does not require additional restraining signal and thus cause time delay of the relay.

During magnetic inrush or over-excitation saturation of the core in a transformer draws a large exciting current. This can cause mal-operation of a differential relay. This paper proposes a modified current differential relay for transformer protection. In order to cope with the remanent flux at the beginning. the start of saturation of the core is detected and the core flux at the instant is estimated by inserting the differential current into a magnetization curve. Then, this core flux value can be used to calculate the core flux. The proposed relay calculates the core-loss current from the induced voltage and the core-loss resistance; the relay calculates the magnetizing current from the core flux and the magnetization curve. Finally, the relay obtains the modified differential current by subtracting the core-loss current and the magnetizing current from the conventional differential current. The proposed technique not only discriminates magnetic inrush and over-excitation from an internal fault, but also improves the speed of the conventional relay.

This paper deals with current distribution analysis of the windings of a superconducting transformer with BSCCO-2223 High Tc Superconducting (HTS) tapes. Current distribution of HTS windings wound in parallel is analyzed by electromagnetic field analysis of finite element method and verified by experiments. For the sake of uniform current distribution, windings must be transposed so to make the impedances of each strands same. The parallel HTS tapes were transposed between the pancakes via non-superconducting joints because it is hard to make transpositions inside the pancake windings. In order to measure current distribution, test windings are fabricated and experimented for both transposed and non-transposed windings. We compared test results with calculated ones.

In the case of the transformers including the delta winding such as a three-phase Y-Y-$\Delta$ transformer, a delta winding current flows in the delta windings. The delta winding current of a three-phase Y-Y-$\Delta$ transformer is decomposed into a non-circulating current and a circulating current. The former can be estimated directly from the line currents, but the latter can not. This paper proposes an estimation method for a circulating current of a Y-Y-$\Delta$ Transformer. A first order differential equation for the circulating current is derived by applying the Kirchhoff's voltage law on the loop of the delta side. The circulating current can be estimated by solving the differential equation. Various test results indicate the algorithm can estimate the circulating current accurately even under over-excitation and magnetic inrush.

The motor power of the industry to use the electric energy is gradually increased. The electric motor generates a voltage drop in the starting current during startup. The starting current is started it is difficult to have an adverse effect on neighboring power systems with large motor starting when the voltage drop across the power grid. In addition to that the motor torque according to the load depending on the size of the rotation speed is changed to a motor start-up speed is important. However, the distance to the emergency generator transformers or motors from the motor capacity is smaller but short and difficult to maneuver the theory and practice of the operating characteristics of the starting characteristics of the motor used a lot of large industrial plants were measured and analyzed. Therefore, this study investigated the motor starting Analysis and interpretation for the relationship with the large motor starting torque and speed during motor starting.

In this paper, a new efficient SMPS has been designed and implemented. It can replace the existing product that is widely used in industry. To investigate the performance of the conventional SMPS, the output voltage changes due to variations in the input voltage and the load conditions, and the ripple and noise voltages have been measured and analyzed. As a result, it has been confirmed that the noise in the conventional SMPS is severe due to the deficiency of patterns for current. This is because the conventional SMPS draw out all outputs using one transformer and the alarm logic exists in the output path. To solve this problem, the switching frequency is increased from 17KHz to 70KHz and the current patterns are fully guaranteed by separating the alarm circuit and PWM circuit as a sub-board from the main board. Measurement results shows that the output noise of the designed SMPS decreases below 32% of the conventional SMPS noise for various test conditions, and both the line and load regulations are improved.

Recently, a fuel cell with low voltage and high current output characteristics is remarkable for new generation system. It needs both a DC-DC step-up converter and DC-AC inverter to be used in fuel cell generation system. Therefor, this paper, consists of an isolated DC-DC converter to boost the fuel cell voltage $380[V_{DC}]$ and a PWM inverter with LC filter to convent the DC voltage to single-phase $220[V_{AC}]$. Expressly, a tapped inductor filter with freewheeling diode is newly implemented in the output filter of the proposed high frequency isolated ZVZCS PWM DC-DC converter to suppress circulating current under the wide output voltage regulation range, thus to eliminate the switching and transformer turn-on/off over-short voltage or transient phenomena. Besides the efficiency of 93-97[%]is obtained over the wide output voltage regulation ranges and load variations.

This paper deals with a method to minimize the welding time for an AC spot welding system. The spot welding system using a conventional SCR type circuit has a disadvantage of slow control speed and no precise current control. Therefore, recently, the using of inverter type welding system is increasing. Conventional welding machine adopts several tens of switching devices connected in parallel to obtain a huge current of several thousands ampere with a short welding time. This paper analyzed a welding system consisting with 4 IGBT switches for a full-bridge inverter and conventional 60 [Hz] transformer. The simulation and experimental results show the validity of the proposed method.
