This paper describes the combination surge generator for applying performance tests of surge protective devices. The $8/20{\mu}s$ waveform applies to low impedance circuits and components and is commonly used to determine the characteristics of surge protective devices. And the $1.2/50{\mu}s$ waveform applies to high impedance circuits and components and is used for testing dielectric behavior. Therefore, the combination surge generator, which generates $1.2/50{\mu}s$ voltage waveform under open-circuit conditions and $8/20{\mu}s$ current waveform under short-circuit condition, was proposed. Also this generator can produce $10/1000{\mu}s$ as well as $0.5{\mu}s/100kHz$ ring waveform.

Organic photovoltaic properties were studied in $CuPc/C_{60}$ and $ZnPc/C_{60}$ heterojunction structure by varying the organic layer thicknesses. Current density-voltage characteristics of organic photovoltaic cells were measured using Keithley 236 source-measure unit and a 500 W xenon lamp (ORIEL 66021) for a light source. From the analyses of current-voltage characteristics such as short-circuit current density, open-circuit voltage and power conversion efficiency, optimum thickness of the organic layer were obtained.

The effects of Ge composition variation in $a-Si_{1-x}Ge_x:H$ alloy p-i-n solar cells on the physical properties and current density-voltage characteristics are analyzed by a new simulation modelling based on the update published experimental datas. The simulation modelling includes newly formulated density of gap density spectrum corresponding to Ge composition variation and utilizes the newly derived generation rate formulars which include the reflection coefficients and can apply to multijunction structures as well as single junction structure. The effects in $a-Si_{1-x}Ge_x:H$ single junction are analyzed through the efficiency, fill factor, open circuit voltage, short circuit current density, free carriers, trap carriers, electric field, generation rate and recombination rate. Based on the results analyzed in single junction structure, the applications to multiple junction structures are discussed and the optimal conditions reaching to a high performance are investigated.

Processible polyaniline (PAM) dispersions consisting of polyaniline micro-particles, cyclohexanone, and a polymeric surfactant were prepared in a micro-milling machine with various mixing conditions. The electrochemical properties of the dispersion film coated on Pt electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The electrochemistry of the PAM dispersion coatings was basically similar to a pure PAM coating based on the results of CV. The results of polarization measurements and open circuit potential measurements carried out in $3\;wt.\%$ NaCI solution showed increase in corrosion potential when the PANI dispersion coatings applied on steel surface. Variation of open circuit potential $(OCP,\;V_{OC})$ of the dispersion coating/steel electrodes was observed, which differed with milling conditions. The results demonstrated practical use of the conducting polymer dispersion as a coating material for corrosion prevention of steel.

The electrochemical characteristics of $V_2O_5$ as working electrode were studied in the cell (1-butene+$O_2$, $V_2O_5{\mid}YSZ{\mid}Ag$, $O_2$) with a YSZ solid electrolyte. The sintering of Ag as a counter electrode was occurred after calcination, and the structure which has the pores of over $3{\mu}m$ was achieved. In particular, the peak of (010) plane of the working electrode on the XRD spectrum which is responsible for selective oxidation appeared after calcination. The major product of 1-butene oxidation over $V_2O_5$ was butadiene. The technique of SEP (solid electrolyte potentiometry) was used to monitor the chemical potential of chemical species adsorbed on the working electrode. Over a wide range of gas compositions of 1-butene and oxygen, open circuit voltage (OCV) exhibited the mixed potential of surface oxygen activity.

This paper presents computer simulation results for developing new type of SF$_{6}$ Circuit Breaker in terms of cold gas flow after small current interruption. This cold gas flows down a nozzle into the chamber of a circuit breaker. There are many difficult problems in analyzing the gas flow due to complex geometry, moving boundary, shock wave and so on. When predicting the dielectric capability of a gas circuit breaker after interruption, the gas pressure and density distributions due to the cold gas must be considered in addition to the electrical field imposed across the gas. A self-coded computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program is used for the simulation of cold gas flow in order to evaluate the electrical field characteristic across open contacts and transient characteristics of insulations after small current interruption.

As one of the countermeasures to improve the recovery characteristics of the SFCL (superconducting fault current limiter), the method using the trigger of high-TC superconducting element (HTSC) when the quench in the HTSC element occurred was proposed. To confirm the suggested method, the control circuit to detect the quench occurrence of HTSC element in case of the fault occurrence was designed and the current limiting and recovery experiments of the SFCL using the designed control circuit were performed. Through the analysis for the experimental results, the points of both the open time and the closing time of a power switch comprising the control circuit could be adjusted by the resistance amplitude of a normal conducting current limiting resistor (CLR) and the recovery characteristics of the SFCL together with the current limiting operation could be confirmed to be improved by using the control circuit.

In open, semi-open, and closed cycle modes, the predicted p-$\theta$ and P-V are compared with load bank power. Computation have been performed for wide range of major experimental parameters such as the specific fuel and oxygen concentrations, fuel conversion efficiency and polytropic exponent, IMEP and maximum cylinder pressure.

Coercion transformer is commonly used in the electrical grid which in three phase of distribution system. The accident of the electrical grid is divided into a single, a double, a third line-to-ground faults and a double, a third line-to-line faults. A single line-to-ground fault accounts for nearly 75[%] among them. In this research, when a Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (SFCL) was applied to the three phase power system, operation in a single line-to-ground fault and limiting characteristics of fault current according to turns ratio of third winding were analyzed. When a single line-to-ground fault happened, secondary winding's circuit was open. Then third winding's circuit with a SFCL was closed. So fault current was limited by diverted circuit. At this time, we could find out that size of the limited fault current could be changed according to third winding rate. We confirmed that limiting operation of the fault current was carried out within one-period. These results will be utilized in adjusting the size of the SFCL.
