Charging of spacecraft occurs in plasma and radiation environment. Especially, we focused on an accident caused by internal charging in a glass material that was used as the cover plate of solar panel array, and tried to measure the charge distribution in glass materials under electron beam irradiation by using a PEA (Pulsed Electro-Acoustic method) system. In the case of a quartz glass (pure $SiO_2$), no charge accumulation was observed either during or after the electron beam irradiation. On the contrary, positive charge accumulation was observed in glass samples containing metal-oxide components. It is found that the polarity of the observed charges depends on the contents of the impurities. To identify which impurity dominates the polarity of the accumulated charge, we measured charge distributions in several glass materials containing various metal-oxide components and calculated the trap energy depths from the charge decay characteristics of all glass samples.

The signal of space charge distribution measured in polymer insulating materials by the PEA has some noises due to the system circuits and the ringing phenomena in the sensor of PVDF and so on forth. It's magnitude mainly depends on the thickness of the insulation material, and it is also affected by the attenuation and dispersion when traveling in a dielectric material. In order to make it reliable, the correcting process for the signal is essential. In this study, we proposed the new deconvolution process on the measured signal of space charge distribution in the flat XLPE insulator, and developed a new signal processing algorithm. Using this, we could improve the reliability of the measured signal much and analyze the effects of space charge clearly in materials.

The pulsed electro-acoustic method was used as a nondestructive measurement technique of spare charge distribution in dielectric materials. In our work presented here, we measured simultaneously the space charge distribution and conduction current in the low-density polyethylene samples with elevated temperatures up to $80^{\circ}C$ and electric field up to 20kV/mm. In the temperature less than $50^{\circ}C$, homocharges are mainly accumulated close to the electrodes under DC bias and after grounding. At the temperature exeeds $50^{\circ}C$, heterocharges are accumulated near the opposite electrode under DC bias. However after grounding the upper electrode, this charges immediately disappeared. The conduction current in LDPE at $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ was reduced slowly with increasing interval of applied voltage. But as temperature increased, the conduction current tended to increase slowly with the time and the degree of increase is enlarged.

In this work, the effects of space charge was analyzed in removal efficiency of pollutant using dielectric barrier discharges. In order to investigate effects of space charge, two dielectrics(XLPE and TR-XLPE) was chosen which are different in space charge distribution. The simultaneously measurement of space charge and discharge current was carried out in XLPE and TR-XLPE with air gap by Pulsed-Electro-Acoustic Method in ac. Also, the removal efficiency is measured by classical ozone generator(von Siemens 1875). From the experimental results, we knew that the space charge distribution affects the discharge patterns. The more space charge is in surface, the quickly discharge initiates and the magnitude of discharge is increased when polarity changes. And these affect the removal efficiency of pollutant.

Furthermore, the dependence of the polarity of accumulated charges on the component of glass materials is discussed by using the models of energy bands.

The rapid development of small-scale (1-10 MJ) Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage Systems (SMES) can be explained by real perspective of practical implementation of these devices in electro power nets. However the serious problem of all high mechanically stressed superconducting coils-problem of training and degradation (decreasing) of operating current still exists. Moreover for SMES systems this problems is more dangerous because of pulsed origin of mechanical stresses-one of the major sources of local heat disturbances in superconducting coils. We investigated acoustic emission (AE) phenomenon on model and 0.5 MJ SMES coils taking into account close correlation of AE and local heat disturbances. Two-coils 0.5 MJ SMES system was developed, manufactured and tested at Russian Research Center in the frames of cooperation with Korean Electrical Engineering Company (KEPCO) [1]. The two-coil SMES operates with the stored energy transmitted between coils in the course of a single cycle with 2 seconds energy transfer time. Maximum operating current 1.55 kA corresponds to 0.5 MF in each coil. The Nb-Ti-based conductor was designed and used for SMES manufacturing. It represents transposed cable made of Nb-Ti strands in copper matrix, several cooper strands and several stainless steel strands. The coils are wound onto fiberglass cylindrical bobbins. To make AE event information more useful a real time instrumentation system was used. Two main measured and computer processed AE parameters were considered: the energy of AE events (E) and the accumulated energy of AE events (E ). Influence of current value in 0.5 MJ coils on E and E was studied. The sensors were installed onto the bobbin and the external surface of magnets. Three levels of initial current were examined: 600A, 1000A, 2450 A. An extraordinary strong dependence of the current level on E and E was observed. The specific features of AE from model coils, operated in sinusoidal vibration current changing mode were investigated. Three current frequency modes were examined: 0.012 Hz, 0.03 Hz and 0.12 Hz. In all modes maximum amplitude 1200 A was realized.
