A magnetic bearing even with multiple coil failure can produce the same decoupled magnetic forces as those before failure if the remaining coil currents are properly redistributed. This fault-tolerant, force invariance control can be achieved with simply replacing the distribution matrix with the appropriate one shortly after coils fail, without modifying feedback control law. The distribution gain matrix that satisfies the necessary constraint conditions of decoupling linearized magnetic forces is determined with the Lagrange Multiplier optimization method.

This paper presents a fault location algorithm for single-phase-to-ground faults on the teed circuit of a parallel transmission line. This algorithm uses only local end voltage and current information. Remote end and fault currents are calculated by using distribution factors. To reduce load current effect, negative sequence current is used. EMTP simulation result have shown effectiveness of the algorithm under various conditions.

Fault tolerant control method for 6-pole homopolar magnetic bearings are presented. If some of the coils or power amplifiers suddenly fail, the remaining coil currents change via a novel distribution matrix such that the same magnetic forces are maintained before and after failure. Lagrange multiplier optimization with equality constraints is utilized to calculate the optimal distribution matrix that maximizes the load capacity of the failed bearing. Some numerical examples of distribution matrices are provided to illustrate this control method.

This paper describes a new approach for minimizing working memory spaces without loosing too much amount of computing time in the analysis of power system faults. This approach requires the decomposition of alrge power system into several small groups of subsystems, forms individual bus impedance matrics, store them in the auxiliary memory, later assembles them to the original total system by algorithms. And also the approach uses techniques for diagonalizing primitive impedances and expanding the system bus impedance matrices by adding a fault bus. These scheme ensures a remarkable savings of working storage and continous computations of fault currents and voltages with the voried fault locations.

The paper presents a modeling of the grid-connected wind turbine generation system on MATLAB/Simulink and aims to perform simulations for analysis of the system's characteristics. It performs a pitch regulation for control of the wind generator's output with respect to wind speed variation, and presents a relationship between interconnecting transformer's connections and fault current by reviewing the variations of fault current according to transformer connections in a grid-connected wind power generation system. It also investigates the effect of grounding methods of the interconnecting transformer's neutral point on fault current variations. The simulation results show the differences of fault currents, voltages and generator's characteristics for a line-to-ground fault according to interconnecting transformer's four different connections, and the differences of fault currents of the system according to grounding methods of the transformer neutral point. Therefore, the case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed simulation model on Simulink.

When fault currents contain decaying DC offset, the peak value of the fault current in the first cycle of the fault period is higher than the fault current during the steady-state period. To reduce the asymmetric fault current, this paper proposes an operation scheme using the series connection of two hybrid type Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (SFCLs) : an auxiliary SFCL and a main SFCL. The proposed method calculates the fault angle by comparing the zero-crossing time with fault detection time. According to the fault angle calculated, an auxiliary SFCL operates to reduce an asymmetric fault current during half a cycle after fault occurrence. After this process, the fault current is limited by a main SFCL. To confirm the usefulness of the proposed method, case studies using Electro-Magnetic Transients Program (EMTP)/Alternative Transient Program (ATP) Draw are perfomed.

Fault current problems is considered a serious issue in the power system because large fault currents not only cause many side effects to the equipments of power system but also lead to severe problems, such as blackouts. This paper deals with the structural analysis and 3-phase fault current stability of the future Seoul metropolitan power system. The simulation composition and analysis are performed with the 4th KEPCO power supply planning data using PSS/e. Through the results of the simulations, it can be observed that the future Seoul metropolitan system results in a fault current which exceeds the circuit breaker (CB) rate. This unremovable fault current can cause critical damage to power system. To resolve the problem, the algorithm for the application of Voltage Sourced Converter Back-to-Back High Voltage Direct Current (VSC BTB HVDC) is being proposed. where the most suitable location for solving fault current problem in Seoul metropolitan area is being implemented.

Electrical fires have been occurred continuously in spite of installing ELB. Therefore the concern with the electrical arc-fault that cause the fire has growing. This paper measured series arc fault currents by the method of arc generator test in UL standard 1699. The used analysis methods in this paper are three different ways using DWT(discrete wavelet transform) those are frequently used for the arc fault current signal analysis. The arc fault detection probability is 100 % by method using noise-energy/shoulder-duration ratio of approximation coefficient. As these results, the variation of noise-energy and shoulder-duration ratio of approximation coefficient are founded important factors for the analysis of arc fault.

Currently, separated buses were increased to limit a fault currents in power transmission system. However, separated buses caused bad influences such as a decrease of reliability and stability. Superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) was proposed to limit a fault current lately and that has many merits beside any other solutions. Therefore, we proposed the install of Superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) in power transmission system with separated bus. And our proposal was verified by reliability of power system.

A Bi-2223 tape has been developed for power applications such as power cables or transformers working at liquid nitrogen temperature. For such applications it is required to understand fault current characteristics of the Bi-2223 tape. In this paper, we report fault current characteristics using two types of samples, straight sample and pancake coil sample. It was found that the fault current characteristics of the Bi-2223 tape are depend on electrical insulations and fault durations strongly. Also it was shown that the fault current characteristics in the insulated straight sample are similar to those in the pancake sample with a conductor insulation. Finally, it was shown that the pancake sample with a layer insulation has better characteristics than that with a conductor insulation for fault currents.
