It is well known that the degradation transformer oil is mainly effected to the failure of transformer. In this paper it is discussed the characteristics of the degradation sensor checking transformer oil condition in live line. The degadation sensor composed with base ring, electrodes and porous ceramic passed through the transformer oil and checked the transformer oil condition with sensor's leakage current. It is important to minimize the leakage current of base ring and connection parts. To investigate the leakage current of base ring and connection parts it is examined the characteristics of V-T-I and DC 2 KV and other examinations. It is verified that ionized transformer caused by the expansion of oil temperature increase in the leakage current of porous ceramic sensor. It is certificated that the leakage current of other parts of porous ceramic is very small (about 2 %) than the porous ceramic and it is confirmed that the leakage current in porous ceramic is changed sensitively according to the new oil(NO) and and the degradation oil(DO).

This paper proposes an estimation algorithm of phase currents of inverter systems with the planar bus bars for brush-less DC (BLDC) motors. The planar bus bar can improve the characteristic of the EMC(Electro-Magnetic Compatibility). In these inverters, a single current sensor of the dc-link measures the sum of a smooth capacitor current and phase currents of brush-less DC motor. Thus, it is essential to extract phase currents from the measured single current to control BLDC motor. Therefore, in this paper, the phase current is estimated by analyzing equivalent circuits of the BLDCM in ON and OFF periods of switching elements. The usefulness of the proposed algorithm is verified through experimental results.

In this paper, a studied the SAW system being developed shipbuilding and plant industry with changing welding method to progress productivity. It studies a SAW system using one sensor instead previous one which is using two sensors. It suggests SAW system which has AC output with high current makes high speed welding and DC output with accurate arcing makes detailed control.

A comparative study of single-phase PWM converters having active filtering functions both on ac-input and dc-output sides have been carried out. Based on the function of the dc-output side active filter, two types of configurations, the RPM (ripple power managing) type and the APM (average power managing) type are compared to show their contrastive characteristics. The prototype system using DSP based control algorithms, i.e. deadbeet current control and voltage sensor-less technique using full-order observer, show the availability of the proposed system.

Digital load is increasing suddenly for various reasons, such as easy control and management. Accordingly, a consumption pattern of load is becoming DC. However, the power supply is supplied by AC power. The load power supply substantially needs DC power. AC power has to be converted to DC power. Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, fuel cells are DC power generation, but the transfer needs to through by AC power, thus DC power has to be converted to AC power. Resultantly, a multi-stage conversion loss is constantly increasing. The power distribution system of DC-based is required for effective use of these energy sources. This requires a DC load, as well as is necessary to develop DC ELCB which are able to detect DC leakage current for implementing protection. In this study, it realize detection algorithm about DC leakage current to verify the performance of the sensor and apply it to the ELCB which is based on DC. Therefore, it is expected to protect operating of DC power distribution system.

Recently, research on renewable energy technologies has come into the spotlight due to rising concerns over the depletion of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. Demand for portable electronic and wearable devices is increasing, and electronic devices are becoming smaller. Energy harvesting is a technology for overcoming limitations such as battery size and usage time. In this paper, the V-I characteristic curve and internal resistance of thermal electric devices were analyzed, and MPPT control methods were compared. The Perturbation and Observation (P&O) control method is economically inefficient because two sensors are required to measure the voltage and current of a Thermoelectric Generator(TEG). Therefore, this paper proposes a new MPPT control method that tracks MPP using only one sensor for the regulation of the output voltage. The proposed MPPT control method uses the relationship between the output voltage of the load and the duty ratio. Control is done by periodically sampling the output voltage of the DC-DC converter to increase or decrease the duty ratio to find the optimal duty ratio and maintain the MPP. A DC-DC converter was designed using a cascaded boost-buck converter, which has a two-switch topology. The proposed MPPT control method was verified by simulations using PSIM, and the results show that a voltage, current, and power of V=4.2 V, I=2.5 A, and P=10.5 W were obtained at the MPP from the V-I characteristic curve of the TEG.

A parallel control algorithm of thyristor dual-converter power system for the DC power supply of railway is proposed. The circulating current and current imbalance generated during parallel operation can be limited to control the output voltage of each power system by using the proposed parallel control algorithm. The proposed control algorithm can also eliminate output current sensor to achieve the same output response without additional costs. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified through simulation and experiment.

This paper proposes two SRM driving systems using a variable dc-link voltage controlled by a single-phase inverter. Two SRM converter topologies of a half bridge type and a full bridge type are proposed according to the power circuits of an inverter. The phase current can be controlled by means of a PWM controller at the inverter, and the turn-on/off angle at the phase switches can be controlled by a position sensor at the converter in the drive system. The inverter acts as a peak-current limiter if the transient current exceeds its maximum value. SRMs using the proposed topologies maintain high efficiency due to energy regeneration after the turn-off of power switches. The operational modes of the proposed topologies are verified by simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents a method for the performance improvement of a shunt active power filter (SAPF) using the indirect current control (ICC) scheme. Compared to the conventional direct current control (DCC) scheme, the ICC gives better performance with a lower number of sensors. A simplified and efficient control algorithm using a low cost Intel 80C196KC microcontroller is implemented using only two current sensors for the source current and one voltage sensor for the DC-link voltage of the SAPF circuit. The objective is to eliminate harmonics and to compensate the reactive power produced by non-linear loads such as an uncontrolled rectifier feeding an inductive load. The APF is realized using a three phase voltage source inverter (VSI) with a dc bus capacitor. Experimental results are presented to prove the better performance of the ICC method over the DCC one.
