To address the importance of the process fault detection for productivity, support vector machines (SVMs) is employed to assist the decision to determine process faults in real-time. The reactive ion etching (RIE) tool data acquired from a production line consist of 59 variables, and each of them consists of 10 data points per second. Principal component analysis (PCA) is first performed to accommodate for real-time data processing by reducing the dimensionality or the data. SVMs for eleven steps or etching m are established with data acquired from baseline runs, and they are further verified with the data from controlled (acceptable) and perturbed (unacceptable) runs. Then, each SVM is further utilized for the fault detection purpose utilizing control limits which is well understood in statistical process control chart. Utilizing SVMs, fault detection of reactive ion etching process is demonstrated with zero false alarm rate of the controlled runs on a run to run basis.

This paper investigates the fault generation type and the cause of output interruptionsin bulky with $30^{\sim}500[KVA]$ double conversion UPS, and proposes the fault detection method to improve the reliability of power supply used in the critical load in industry. Identifies its existing way of detecting a quality of inverter output it to bypass when exceeds its expectation. Under a UPS managing system, when an inner (Power device, Controller, CPU) fault occurs it disrupts the power supply and these occurrences has been verified by the results of experiments and application results. To overcome these problems, the proposed method constructs independently a fault-detection, a bypass-control device and a triple power supply apart from the conventional UPS operation. Also the detection point is changed to the preceding of a circuit breaker, a reference of fault detection is modified to avoid any clash and the breaking equipment is attached to intercept a spread of accident. As a result of applications of these developed systems to 242 UPS which was installed purposefully to the communication power supply, the service errors has not occurred in the UPS for two years since 2006.

The maximun short circuit current of modern power system is becoming so large that circuit breaker is not expected to be able to shut down the current in the future In order cut over-currents, a system composed of a superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) and traditional breaker seems to provide a promising solution for furture power operation. In present paper, three line-to-ground fault is assumed to happen at the center of 345kV transmission lines in a large capacity electric power system. The superconducting fault current limiter was represented using a commutation type, which consists of a non-inductive superconducting coil and current limiting element (resistor or reactor). from the viewpoint of current limiting performance, the prevention of the voltage drop at the load bus and comparision characteristics for two type SFCL. Desired design specification and operation parameters of SECL were also given qualitatively by the performance.

In this paper, a fault determination methodology based on an artificial neural network was proposed to protect the system from faults on the lines in the smart grid distribution system. In the proposed methodology, first, it was designed to determine whether there is a low impedance line fault (LIF) based on the magnitude of the current RMS value, and if it is determined to be a normal current, it was designed to determine whether a high impedance ground fault (HIF) is present using Normal/HIF classifier based on artificial neural network. Among repetitive DSP module-based algorithm verification tests, the normal/HIF classifier recognized the current waveform as normal and did not show reclosing operation for the cases of normal state current waveform simulation test where the RMS value was smaller than the minimum operating current value. On the other hand, for the cases of LIF where RMS value is greater than the minimum operating current value, the validity of the proposed methodology could be confirmed by immediately recognizing it as a fault state and showing reclosing operation according to the prescribed procedure.

Fieldbus system should be designed by considering the number of sensors/actors(actuators+ controllers) and their sampling times. But the number of sensors/actors and which are connected to the network bus can be varied by addition and/or fault of the field devices. That variation decreases the efficiency of system which is off-line designed optimally. This paper proposes an algorithm that ensures transmission of cyclic data even though there is the number change in the field devices. We assign the different weight values to cyclic data and acyclic data. By simulation and experiment, the cyclic and acyclic data are processed via the proposed network, and the results are compared with those of the Profibus system. It is shown that the proposed algorithm is more robust with the uncertainties of the field devices of the control system.

한국전력공사(이하 한전)에서는 제주지역 전력공급의 안정을 위해 '98년부터 국내 최초로 육지전력 계통과 연계하여 장거리 해저케이블 송전선로를 건설하여 운영하고 있다. 해저케이블은 해저에 포설되고 외부적 환경에 견디기 위해 육상케이블과 다른 많은 보호층을 포함하고 있어 설비의 유지보수에 많은 제약사항을 안고 있다. 특히 해남${\sim}$제주 연계선로는 기술적 장점 때문에 AC송전 대신 HVDC 송전을 하고 있어 한단계 Upgrade된 설비운영 기술이 필요하다. 본 고에서는 HVDC 해저 케이블의 설비운영에 있어 선로의 고장시 케이블의 고장점 위치를 탐지하는데 중점을 두어 실제 고장점 탐지 사례를 중심으로 HVDC 해저 케이블 고장점 탐지 방법 및 시험 결과를 검토하고 향후 유사 고장 발생에 효과적으로 대응하기 위한 절차를 제시하였다.

This paper presents observer-based on-line overload monitoring scheme for a PMSM(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) drive system. Proposed scheme is to monitor overload status of motor drive system at remote place. The drive system is previously installed on main system and has no communication function. Proposed scheme consists of intelligent sensing head and monitoring part. Intelligent sensing head acquire motor 3-Phase currents and transmit data to monitoring part over serial communication interface. Monitoring part estimates motor speed using state observer. By comparing estimated speed with reference speed, we can detect motor fault. In this scheme observed information must coded and transmitted over a digital communication channel with finite capacity. We consider communication constraint as time delay and we design discrete-time observer. The proposed scheme is tested on the actual drive system.

Wind energy can be conversed into electrical power using wind generator. Wind farm is made up of many wind generators, and it is often interconnected into distribution system to supply power for utilities. There are many protection problems on distribution system connected with Wind farm. It can effect on power quality severely when faults are occurred on distribution line or Wind farms. Therefore the correct protective scheme must be set for distribution system which has a Wind farm. In this paper, A wind farm connected into distribution line is simulated with several fault types which can be occurred on distribution line and Wind farm using PSCAD/EMTDC. And this paper proposes necessary relays to protect both sides of distribution system and wind farm.

This paper presents a distance relaying algorithm for transmission line compensated with Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). The compensation voltage driven by SSSC is calculated from the line current measured at a relaying point Then the compensation voltage is subtracted from the voltage measured by the relay. We can apply conventional distance relaying algorithm with this subtracted voltage to locate a fault. The results of case studies using EMTP (Electro-Magnetic Transient Program) show the proposed algorithm has higher precision.
