SMES의 운전 상태는 충전, 운전, 방전의 3가지 모드로 나눌 수 있으며, 충 방전 구간에서 와전류 손실이 발생한다. SMES의 에너지 방전 시 마그넷에서의 전류 감소로 인한 와전류 손실은 비록 짧은 시간동안 발생하지만 그 크기가 냉동기의 정격 열 부하 용량에 비해 상대적으로 크기 때문에, SMES 시스템 설계 시 이에 대한 영향을 고려해야 한다. 본 논문은 고온초전도 선재를 이용하여 개발 중인 600 kJ SMES의 방전 시, 마그넷을 냉각시키기 위한 권선 보빈형 열전도판의 분할과 슬릿의 위치에 따른 와전류 손실 변화를 3차원 유한요소법을 이용해 해석하고 그 결과를 제시하였다.

In this paper, we present an analytical method that provides fast and efficient evaluation of the conversion efficiency for Two transistor forward (TTF) DC-DC converter In the proposed method, the conduction losses are evaluated by calculating the effective values of the ideal current waveform first and incorporating them into an exact equivalent circuit model of the TTF converter that includes all the parasitic resistances of the circuit components. While the conduction losses are accurately accounted for the diode rectification, the core losses are assumed to be negligible in order to simplify the analysis. The validity and accuracy of the proposed method are verified with experiments on a prototype TTF converter An excellent correlation between the experiments and theories are obtained for the input voltages of 390V, output voltage 12V and maximum power 480W.

The use of underground transmission power lines is expanding for the beauty and convenience of the near city. However, there is a lack of research on the losses from underground transmission power lines, especially those that support three-phase cables operating 24 hours a day. Since the supporting the cable is made of a material having a conductivity and a magnetic permeability, an eddy current and a hysteresis loss are generated due to a magnetic field caused by a current flowing in the cable. Losses occurring in this case adversely affect the power energy transfer efficiency, so research on loss is necessary. Therefore, in this paper, we analyzed the eddy currents and hysteresis losses that occur in a supporting a cable through three - dimensional finite element analysis.

The economic losses resulted from the accident in the power cables at the power station is not only huge but also requires a great amount of time and expenses to restore to the former condition. In order to prevent these, it is necessary to invent and apply a technique to expect and prevent the accidents. In order to measure insulation resistances of power cables in operation, we derived the relations between load current and temperature. By analyzing data obtained from our measuring equipments, we showed the expected time to change deteriorated cables before accident occurs. We present a result of our study on the effects of the load current on lifetime of 6.6 kV cable systems in operation. With the current flowing through the load of the cable a heat is generated reducing the lifetime of the cable. In order to find out the effect of load current on the lifetime of cable systems, we applied the lifetime theory to the development of two equipments to measure insulation resistance and current of cable systems in operation.

Inserting a $SiO_2$ layer underneath the p-pad electrode as the current blocking layer (CBL) structure and extending p-metal finger patterns, the GaN LEDs using an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) layer show the improved light output intensity, resulting from better current spreading and reduced light loss on the surface of p-pad metal. The LEDs with an oxide layer of $100{\mu}m$-pad-width and $6{\mu}m$-finger-width have better light output intensities than those with an oxide layer of $105{\mu}m$-pad-width and $12{\mu}m$-finger-width. Using the ATLAS device simulator from Silvaco Corporation, the current density distributions on the active layer in CBL LEDs have been investigated.

The cables installed to deliver high electric power from a generator at a thermoelectric power station are XLPE (or CV) cables. Depending on the installation and usage conditions, the cables in operation start deteriorating from the time of initial operation. Some cables can cause accidents due to faulty construction or other environmental factors. In order to prevent cable accidents, regular auditing of power cables is required. We have invented a measuring device for systematic surveillance and prevention of accidents, and installed the device at Korean Western Power Co. Ltd. which measures load currents through the cables. In this paper, we present the load current measured using our device, analyze the load characteristics by measures current, compare the ampacity defined by IEC standard, and present a basic data to obtain the temperature of cable conductors.

Procedures for the development of a preswirl stator-propulsion system for a VLCC 300K are described in this paper. The preswirl stator-propulsion system is one of the compound propulsor systems, which is used for the purpose of recovering propeller slipstream rotational energy by locating a stator in front of the propeller. The preswirl stator-propulsion system can be considered as a most reliable energy saving device because of its simple mechanism. Five stators are designed for the existing hull form and propeller, and their effects are verified by model tests. Open-water test result of the preswirl stator-propulsion system at the cavitation tunnel show $4{\sim}6%$ increase of open-water efficiency compared to that of a propeller without stators. Maximum 6.5% decrease of delivered power at the design speed(15.5knots) is expected with the designed stator based on the analysis results of resistance and self-propulsion test at the towing tank.

A superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) is a power device that exploits superconducting transition to control currents and enhances the flexibility, stability and reliability of the power system within a few milliseconds. With a high phase transition speed, high critical current densities and little AC loss, high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wires are suitable for a resistive-type SFCL. However, HTS wires due to the lack of optimization research are rather inefficient to directly apply to a fault current limiter in terms of the design and capacity, for the existing method relied the characteristics. Therefore, in order to develop a suitable wire for an SFCL, it is necessary to enhance critical current uniformity, select optimal stabilizer materials and conducted research on the development of uniform stabilizer layering technology. The high temperature superconducting wires manufactured by this study get an average critical current of 804 A/12mm-width at the length of 710m; therefore, conducted research was able to secure economic performance by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and reducing size.

In this paper, we present an analytical method that provides fast and efficient evaluation of the power losses and the conversion efficiency for phase-shift controlled full-bridge converter. In the proposed method, the conduction losses are evaluated by calculating the effective values of the ideal current waveform first and incorporating them into an exact equivalent circuit model of the phase-shift controlled full-bridge converter that includes all the parasitic resistances of the circuit components. While the conduction losses are accurately accounted for the synchronous rectification, the core losses are assumed to be negligible in order to simplify the analysis. The validity and accuracy of the proposed method are verified with experiments on a prototype phase-shift controlled full-bridge converter. An excellent correlation between the experiments and theories are obtained for the input voltages of 400V, output voltage 12V and maximum power 720W.

This paper presents the backplane effects due to a rectangular aperture size for two-wire transmission line with equal line length crossing the changeable rectangular aperture in an infinite ground backplane. It is used to determine the characteristics of the backplane insertion loss of the transmission line from the load section in accordance with the backplane aperture size. The results show that the insertion gain and insertion loss are obtained for the specific frequency range when the transmission line is closed to the backplane aperture size. The insertion loss is decreased that the aperture horizontal length and vertical length is more than a=50 mm and b=20 mm. The measurements of insertion loss are performed to verify the theoretical analysis.
