This paper presents a discrete-time version of voltage and current limited operation using an enhanced direct torque and flux control method for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drives. A command voltage vector for airgap torque and stator flux regulation can be uniquely determined by the finite-settling-step direct torque and flux control (FSS-DTFC) algorithm under physical constraints. The proposed command voltage vector trajectories can be developed to achieve the maximum inverter voltage utilization for the discrete-time current limit (DTCL)-based FSS-DTFC. The algorithm can produce adequate results over a number of the potential secondary upsets found in the steady-state current limit (SSCL)-based DTFC. The fast changes in the torque and stator flux linkage improve the dynamic responses significantly over a wide constant-power operating region. The control strategy was evaluated on a 900W IPMSM in both simulations and experiments.

During the last several years, interest in broad-band power line communications (PLC) has been grown over medium voltage(MV) power distribution lines as well as low voltage lines. This paper introduces a medium voltage PLC test field that is set up in the suburbs of Euiwang city in Korea. This test field could be used not only for the measurement of communication channel environment but also for internet service. This paper shows the configuration of medium voltage test field with network devices like MV signal coupler and the results of channel environment like noise and impulse response. It also shows the service performance of PLC access network through network management system.

This paper presents a linear temperature/voltage relation over a temperature range(0~100$^{\circ}C$) with high-resolution, reasonably god response linearity, reliability, and overall improved performance. A notable feature of the proposed method is that the whole temperature span is divided by 16 subbands thus the variation span of measured voltage is narrowed. Therefore noise characteristic has been improved. The output voltage is amplified after the uniformed DC voltage component is eliminated by offset. We proposed circuit using median value and mean value of digital signal in order to reduce the noise effect. The proposed circuit offers linear temperature/voltage conversion over a wide dynamic range using DSP(TMS320C31) and steinhart equation.

A protection algorithm using a voltage-controlled overcurrent element for a looped collection circuit in a wind farm is suggested in this paper. Because the proposed algorithm uses voltage relaying signals as well as current relaying signals, any fault in the looped collection circuit can be cleared by voltage-controlled overcurrent relays located at the two adjacent relaying points, the nearest place in each direction from the fault point. The algorithm can also distinguish the external faults which occur at the outside of a wind farm from the internal faults. It means that the proposed algorithm can provide the proper ability of protection coordination to the relays in the looped collection circuits of a large wind farm. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified under various fault conditions using PSCAD/EMTDC simulations.

Optical instruments based on polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) have been used to inspect transparent electrodes. Generally the operating voltage of an inspection instrument using PDLC is very high, over 300 V, reducing its lifetime and reliability. The operating-voltage issue becomes more serious in the inspection of touch-screen panel (TSP) electrodes, due to the bezel structure protruding over the electrodes. We have theoretically calculated the parameters affecting the operating voltage as a function of the distance between the TSP and the PDLC, the thickness, and the dielectric constant of the sublayers when the inspection module was away from the TSP electrodes. We have experimentally verified the results, and have proposed a way to reduce the operating voltage by substituting a plastic substrate film with a hard coating layer of smaller thickness and higher dielectric constant.

A method to control the inverter output voltage lineally in over modulation mode of the third harmonics injected PWM inverter is proposed. The third harmonics injected PWM has a extended linear region compared with the sine PWM. But it still has a maximum voltage about 90% compared with the six step inverter. Therefore, to control the output voltage linearly in over modulation mode, analyzing the relationship between the modulation index and the peak of the fundamental component of the modified reference voltage, we can settle the problem in over modulation mode without iteration. Then we can increase the maximum fundamental component of the third harmonics injected PWM inverter comparative to six-step inverter continuously in over modulation mode. The simulation results of the inverter-induction motor system shows the validity of this method and experimental results prove it.

Bi-2223 tape is one of the most widely used HTS tapes for power application. This paper presents the basic properties such as temperature and resistivity rise of the Bi-2223 tape which is exposed to the over current. Temperature and resistivity were measured by E-type thermocouple and voltage taps. Results of the measurement showed that rise of voltage depended on the magnitude of the over current until several times of the rated current. When the current largely exceeded the rated current, rise of voltage depended on the magnitude of the resistivity of the Ag matrix because temperature of the matrix increased to a great extend.

During the restoration process of primary restorative transmission system, the over voltage may happen due to nonlinear interaction between the unloaded transformer and the transmission system. This over voltage is caused by harmonic resonance and can be prevented by damping loads that are connected before restoration process of primary restorative transmission system. But it is very difficult to predict the occurrence possibility of the harmonic resonance previously. This paper analyzes the relationship between the harmonic resonance and the amount of damping loads to prevent the harmonic resonance. This paper calculates the minimum amount of damping loads to prevent harmonic resonance while changing the length of primary restorative transmission line. And this paper confirmed that the amount of damping loads is not proportional to length of transmission line. The result of this paper will be used as important experiment data to predict the occurrence possibility of harmonic resonance previously.

Power system restoration following a wide area or complete blackout starts with energizing primary restorative transmission systems. During this primary restoration process, unexpected over-voltage may happen due to nonlinear interaction between the unloaded transformer and the transmission system. This is known as the harmonic resonance phenomenon that may cause burning out of transformer or other devices. Since the harmonic resonance originates from the nonlinear characteristics, it is very difficult to predict the occurrence of this phenomenon. This paper reports the analyses of the harmonic resonance occurred in domestic power system. Various analyses and results of the harmonic over-voltage is presented based on the PSCAD/EMTDC simulations.
