This paper dealt with the performance evaluation and the diagnostic techniques of lightning arresters for DC electric traction vehicle. Field Measurements on the protective operation of lightning arresters against surge currents were carried out on running vehicles to acquire the data necessary for the diagnosis. The frequency and the magnitude of surge events were analyzed. Surge currents of $1\sim3$ times were recorded in one running service route and their magnitudes were ranges of $150A\sim2kA$. Also, an acceleration experiment on a lightning arrester by the standard lightning impulse current of 8/20 us and 5 kA was performed to know the aging characteristics. After the surge current application of 3,000 times, the reference voltage decreased by 4.5 %, and the leakage current was below 10 uA at the continuous operating voltage and about 50 uA at the rated voltage. From the experimental results, we propose a decision level of leakage current for the arrester used in this paper and designed an arrester tester which analyzes arrester condition by the magnitude of leakage current.

직류직권모터는 전동지게차와 같은 물류용 전동차에서 사용되는데, 우수한 기동 토오크를 가지는 반면에 파라미터의 열적, 변화가 심하고 마찰과 부하의 비선형성이 존재해 기존의 제어기로는 만족할 만한 성능을 내지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 퍼지제어기를 사용한다. 퍼지제어기는 변수의 애매성에 바탕을 두고 제어하기 때문에 이러한 비선형성에 대해 강인하나, 소속함수의 결정과 퍼지규칙의 선정이 어려우며, 체계적인 방법이 존재하지 않는다. 이러한 퍼지제 어의 결점을 해결하기 위해 소속함수는 유전 알고리즘을 통해 자기동조 시키며 퍼지규칙은 오차와 오차변화율의 위상평면을 이용하여 결정한다. 실용성을 검증하기 위해 TI사의 DSP TMS320F240을 이용해 실시스템에 적용했으며, 이를 통해 부하의 변동 및 기준 속도의 변화에도 잘 대처함을 알 수가 있었다.

In this study, a ubiquitous sensor for condition monitoring of insulators and lightning arresters installed in power distribution lines and electric traction vehicles is presented. The sensor consists of two parts; a leakage current measurement and a lightning surge detection. Measured data are transmitted to a supervisory computer through ZigBee protocol based on IEEE 802.15.4. To detect leakage current, a window type Mn-ZCT is used and a low-noise amplifier with a gain of 60dB is designed, and this can measure leakage current in ranges of $100{\mu}A{\sim}5mA$. A sample-hold (S/H) and a Rogowski coil are injected to analyze the magnitude of surge current in ranges from 100A to 10kA with $8/20{\mu}s$-waveform.

This paper describes a selection and application recommendations of ZnO arresters on DC electric traction vehicles. We measured and analyzed the system voltages applied to arresters and the surge currents flowing arresters on DC electric traction vehicles under operation to decide the Continuous Operating Voltage($U_C$), the Rated Voltage($U_R$), and the Nominal Discharge Current($I_n$). System voltages measured up to 1,800 V during anti-breaking in 1,500 V-system, and surge currents were recorded up to 3 times per running-service-route and their magnitudes were ranges of $150A{\sim}2kA$. From these results and the standard EN50163, we proposed the Continuous Operating Voltage($U_C$) the Rated Voltage($U_R$) for the $1,500V_{dc}$ electric traction vehicles.

Most of DC 1500V electric railway substations have adopted diode rectifiers to supply stable DC power. However, the diode rectifiers operate in the first quadrant of the voltage-current plane and thus need regenerative inverters which transfer the surplus regenerative power caused by regenerative braking of electric train sets into the grid. In order to select the proper capacity and installation position of regenerative inverter, it needs to investigate the consumed and regenerative energy of the electric traction substations in advance. This paper presents an analysis of regenerative energy in two substations operating in Seoul Seolleung and Kwangju Yangdong substations. DC line voltage and feeder currents are measured for a day to calculate consumed and regenerative power far four feeders. We calculated an amount of regenerative energy consumed in other feeders and estimated the cost reduction in energy consumption due to the reuse of regenerative energy

본 논문에서는 전동차의 정차 시 발생하는 회생에너지를 Battery에 충전할 수 있는 전력 변환 장치를 제안한다. 제안된 전력 변환장치는 DC 1500~2000의 가선전압을 분압하여 저압스위칭 소자 적용하며, 고주파 절연 변압기를 적용하였다. 이를 통해 시스템의 스위칭 주파수를 상승시켜 수동 소자들의 사이즈 축소 및 비용 절감 효과를 높이고, 가선과 Battery의 전기적 절연으로 시스템의 안정성을 높였다. 또한 가선 전압 분압을 통해 입력 전압의 변화에 유동적으로 대응할 수 있으며, 시스템의 병렬 구성을 통해 용량의 확장성을 가지게 된다. 제안된 논문에서 제안된 회생에너지 전력 변환 장치는 20[kW] 회생 컨버터 모듈의 5직렬 구성을 통해 100[kW]급 회생 컨버터 유닛을 구성하였으며, 회생 컨버터 유닛을 5병렬로 구성하여 500[kW]급 회생 전력 변환시스템을 구성하였다. 제안된 회생에너지 시스템은 모의 가선 전압 장치 및 Battery 부하를 통해 시스템의 타당성을 검증 한다.

The propulsion for locomotive application has changed from the DC motor system to the induction motor system. Although the induction motor system has almost reached the stage of maturity, this system also needs to be changed to the PM motor system for the direct drive without using reduction gear. Thus, the IPMSM (Interior buried Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) has been adopted to meet the locomotive driving specification. Where the wheel is directly dirven by the traction motor. In this paper, the investigation on IPMSM satisfying driving specifications for the direct drive has been performed using the advanced FEM.
