In this work the AC loss measurement setup based on an iron core background magnet, not used in a conventional one, has been successfully developed. To prove its validity, a round-robin test for the same Bi-2223 tape sample among three institutes has been done. The results show that the self-field and magnetization losses from the developed setup well agree with the losses measured at two other institutes of Korea Basic Science Institute and Yokohama National University. The measured magnetization losses for parallel or perpendicular fields can be well predicted from the slab model or the strip model for a filamentary region. However the magnetization losses for longitudinal fields can be rather predicted by the slab model for a decoupled filament. The self-field losses are well explained by the Norris ellipse model.

This paper proposes a PCB plane model for generic SPICE circuit simulators. The proposed model reflects two frequency-dependent losses, namely skin and dielectric losses. After power/ground plane pair is divided into arrays of unit-cells, each unit-cell is modeled using a transmission line and two loss models. The loss model is composed of a resistor for DC loss, series HL ladder circuit for skin loss and series RC ladder circuit for dielectric loss. To verify the validity of the proposed model, it is compared with SPICE ac analysis using frequency-dependent resistors. Also, we show that the estimation results using the proposed model have a good correlation with that of VNA measurement for the typical PCB stack-up structure of general desktop PCs. With the proposed model, not only ac analysis but also transient analysis can be easily done for circuits including various non-linear/linear devices since the model consists of passive elements onl.

AC loss is an important factor in the development of superconducting tapes and superconducting power applications. In this paper we measured and compared characteristics of BSCCO tape and YBCO Coated Conductor(YBCO CC). BSCCO tape was fabricated by PIT method. We measured critical current density and transport current loss of it. Also, YBCO CC tape consist of substrate. buffer, YBCO and metal layers. We measured critical current density on variations of external magnetic field and transport current loss of these cases. The results of measurement show that normalized critical current of YBCO CC is smaller then that of BSCCO tape in the external magnet field. According to the results. measured loss and calculated of the YBCO CC show the same tendency.

Superconductors are dissipative when exposed to time-varying magnetic fields. To analyze the AC characteristics of a superconductor, one usually needs to know magnetization curves of it. Good magnetization curves can be obtained only in homogeneous magnetic filed. In This paper, we report the setup and test results of a magnetization measurement system, which consists mainly of frequency-variable power supply and homeogenous magnet with 7-cm long air gap. Special emphasis are foused on the design and fabrication of the magnet, which aims to give background magnetic fields, and on the overall characteristics of the system.

100년전 토마스 에디슨이 주장한 직류 전력 전송 방식인 DC 송전은 AC 송전보다 장거리 송전 시 손실이 적고 안정도가 좋다. 또한 다른 주파수를 가진 두 지역을 연계하여 전력을 전송 할 수있으며 전력 조류를 제어할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나, AC와 DC전력간의 변환 장치를 필요로 하여 설비 구축 비용이 비싸다는 점과 고도의 제어기술 및 검증 기술이 요구된다는 단점은 이제 굳이 논할 필요도 없는 사실이다. 이에 수년전부터 국내에서도 손실이 적고 안정도가 좋다는 장점이 지속적으로 부각되고 있으며 친 환경 발전 및 스마트 그리드의 호황 속에 DC 송전 기술의 필요성은 차세대 기술로 각광받으며 DC 고압 직류 방식인 HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current, 이하 HVDC)에 대한 연구 및 사업이 시작되었다. 그러나, HVDC 시스템의 손실 측정은 계산으로 인해 이루어지고 있으며, 이에 대한 실측 방안은 현재 없다. 또한 시스템 설계 시, 고려해야 하는 시스템의 Feasibility 및 신뢰성에서 손실은 중요한 지표 중의 하나이다. 그러나, HVDC 를 개발하고 설치, 운전하여 양도 또는 인수하는 과정에서 손실은 전력 요금과 직결되기 때문에 계산 및 측정에 대한 논란이 있는 실정이다. 계산 및 측정하는 HVDC의 손실은 무부하 손실 및 부하 손실로 구분된다. 본 논문에서는 현재 사용되고 있는 손실 계산 방법을 소개하고 당사에서 측정을 실시한 HVDC 손실 측정 방법에 대해서 소개하고자 한다.

22.9kV 50MVA HTS power cable has been developed and tested by Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute and LS Cable Company and it was supported by a grant from Center for Applied Superconductivity Technology of the 21st Century Frontier R&D Program. In this paper, DC Ic of 100m HTS cable which is installed at Kochang testing station was measured and analyzed. A measurement technique of DC Ic used by resistance and inductance removal method is established. The HTS power cable is composed of 2 layers for transmission and 1 layer for shield. For the analysis of AC losses in an HTS power cable, 2-dimensional numerical calculation was carried out to define the magnetic field distribution. We calculated the magnetization losses in the HTS core of that cable from these fields. These calculated results are in accordance with those of experiment.

It seems that a primary concern of the project-based company, which provides a large scale product or service over long term period, is to run a successful project through systematic project process control and control costs. One of the typical project control methods is Earned Value Management System(EVMS) which analyses the precess through performance measurement. Even though the EVMS is a highly efficient tool in the managerial aspect, it cannot easily determine the Planned Value(PV), Actual Cost(AC), or Earned Value(EV) due to the indistinct criteria and extensive data. The accurate calculation of AC in particular, is the basic of project management, but most companies record direct personnel expenses or direct expenses only. Since they calculate indirect expenses based on the estimated ratio, it limits the systematic project management that reflects changes in profit and loss of a company. This study introduces a EVMS for project management and its actual case based on EVMS and ERP system which some additional modules are installed for performance measurement. It is expected that this new method enables a company to save time and effort, and also to improve transparency by specifying expense items in detail and to switch quarterly settlement to monthly by reducing the time of calculation.

A semi-empirical method to determine the electrostatic characteristics of a diode type corona aerosol charger based on ion current measurement and electrostatic charging theory was presented. Results from mathematical model were in agreement with those from experimental investigation of the charger. Current-voltage characteristics, $N_{i}t$ product and charge distribution against aerosol size were obtained. It was shown that the space charge was significant and must be taken into account at high ion number concentration and low flow rate. Additionally, significant particle loss was evident for particles smaller than 20 nm in diameter where their electrical mobility was high. Increase in charging efficiency may be achieved by introducing surrounding sheath flow and applying AC high voltage. Overall, the approach was found to be useful in characterizing the aerosol charger.

Electricity can be directly generated from organic matter even wastewaters using a microbial fuel cell. To achieve high power in MFCs, finding factors decreasing activation and Ohmic losses is very important. In this study we determined activation loss at the anode and cathode and Ohmic loss using the current interruption technique in a H-type MFC. Activation loss at the cathode was four times higher that that of anode activation loss even if pt-coated carbon (0.5 $mg/cm^2$;10%Pt) was used as the cathode. Ohmic loss determined using current interruption technique (1146 ${\Omega}$) was almost same as the internal resistance (1167 ${\Omega}$) measured using AC impedance. The sum of activation losses at the anode and cathode was the same as the value of activation loss of the cell.
