In this paper, an algorithm to compensate the distorted signals due to CT(Current Transformer) saturation is suggested. Firstly, WT(Wavelet Transform) is used to detect a start point and an end point of saturation. Filter banks which can be easily realized in real-time applications are employed in detecting CT saturation. Secondly, least-square curve fitting method is used to restore the distorted section of the secondary current. Fault simulations are performed on a power system model using EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program). A series of test results indicate that WT has superior detection accuracy and the proposed algorithm which shows very stable features under various levels of remanent flux is also satisfactory.

The iron core, which comprises the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using magnetic coupling of coils, can be operated in the saturation region, especially at the initial fault period. This operation of the iron core in the saturation region deteriorates the fault current limiting operation of the SFCL. To solve the saturation problem of the SFCL using magnetic coupling of coils, the iron core with two magnetic paths, which has an air-gap in one of them, was adopted. In this paper, the hysteresis characteristics of SFCL using magnetic coupling of coils, which were wound in the iron core with two magnetic paths, were analyzed. Through comparative analysis on the hysteresis characteristics of the iron core comprising SFCL, the hysteresis characteristics of the iron core with two magnetic paths were confirmed to be kept in the non-saturation region during the fault period and thus, the effective fault current limiting operation of the SFCL using the magnetic coupling of coils could be performed.

The current flowing though a power line is measured by a current transformer (CT). Since a CT is a kind of transformer, saturation of magnetic flux in the core may occur when a large primary current flows. This saturation makes the secondary current of a CT distorted and causes problems in the protection point of view. Because of the current distortion, a protection relay cannot collect the correct information showing how the primary power system changed. Consequently, the current distortion may cause the mal-operation or operation time delay of protective relay. In this paper, an algorithm based on AR model and LSQ is proposed to compensate the saturated CT secondary currents. Various test results indicate that the proposed algorithm can accurately compensate a severely distorted secondary current and is not affected by remanence.

A conventional variable percentage current differential relaying algorithm for bus protection may misoperate for external faults with severe CT saturation and internal faults with high impedance. This paper proposes a percentage differential current relaying algorithm for bus protection combined with a compensating algorithm of secondary currents of CTs. Even though CTs are saturated and their secondary currents are severely distorted, the proposed relaying algorithm does not only misoperate for external faults with CT saturation but also detects the internal faults with high fault impedance. Thus, the method improves the sensitivity of the relays and does not require any counterplan for CT saturation.

A newly proposed lateral dual-gate thyristor was fabricated and measured, which has excellent current saturation characteristics of $1200A/cm^2$ even at an anode-gate voltage of 29V, through the elimination of the structurally existing parasitic thyristor. And through the comparison with the LIGBT, the excellent current saturation characteristics of a newly proposed device was verified.

In designing the autotransformer type superconducting fault-current limiter (SFCL), one must consider that the iron core can be saturated for the SFCL to have effective fault-current limiting operation. In this paper, to examine the saturation of the iron core comprising SFCL during the fault period, the linkage flux and the magnetizing current of the SFCL were derived from the electrical equivalent circuit with the nonlinear exciting branch. By analysis on the linkage flux versus the magnetizing current of the autotransformer type SFCL, calculated from the short-circuit tests, the design condition for the suppression of the iron core's saturation was discussed.

In this paper, the magnetizing characteristics of the current limiting reactor (CLR) using $high-T_C$ superconducting (HTSC) module were analyzed. Since the saturation of iron core comprising the CLR using HTSC module deteriorates its current limiting operation, the design of the CLR using HTSC module considering the magnetizing characteristics is needed. For the analysis on the magnetizing characteristics, the flux linkage and the magnetizing current of this CLR using HTSC module were derived from its electrical equivalent circuit. Through the analysis on the linkage flux versus the magnetizing current, obtained from the short-circuit tests, the suppressing effect of the iron core's saturation was discussed.

For the design to prevent the saturation of the iron core and the effective fault current limitation, the analysis for the operation of the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) with consideration for the hysteresis characteristics of the iron core is required. In this paper, the hysteresis characteristics of the flux-lock reactor, which is an essential component of the flux-lock type SFCL, were investigated. Under normal condition, the hysteresis loss of the iron core in the flux-lock type SFCL does not happen due to its winding structure. From the equivalent circuit for the flux-lock type SFCL and the fault current limiting experiments, the hysteresis curves could be drawn. From the analysis for both the hysteresis curves and the fault current limiting characteristics due to the number of turns for the 1st and 2nd windings, the increase of the number of turns in the 2nd winding of the flux-lock type SFCL had a role to prevent the iron core from saturation.

이 연구에서는 지하 이상체와 배경매질의 전기전도도 대비가 큰 경우 측정 겉보기비저항이 일정한 값에 수렴하는 전류포화현상에 대하여 이론적 고찰을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 몇 가지 간단한 지하구조 모형에 대한 이론해를 통하여 표면전하의 거동을 살펴보았으며, 이들 표면전하가 전류포화를 일으키는 원인 및 겉보기비저항에 미치는 영향을 고찰 하였다. 결과적으로 전기비저항 탐사에서 측정하는 겉보기비저항 이상의 크기는 포화현상에 따라 일정값에 수렴하게 됨을 확인하였으며, 실제 겉보기비저항 이상의 크기는 이상체가 완전도체 혹은 부도체일 경우보다 작다는 것을 입증하였다. 또한 대개 전기전도도 대비가 100배 이상이 될 경우, 전류포화현상이 발생하는 것으로 해석된다.

The transconductance of short channel LDD MOSFETs in the saturation region (high Vd)has shown different characteristics from that of conventional device. The transconductance in saturation regime of short channel LDD MOSFETs is reduced from maximum value at higher gate voltage. This decline is analyzed as the velocity saturation effects of carrier at LDD region but accurate analytical expressions for the drain current Idsat and the transconductance Gmsat in the saturation regime are still not in existence. Recently the drain current dependence of parasitic source resistance Rs has been modeled from the velocity saturation of carriers in LDD region. In this study, we approximate that Rmsat that Rs is linearly dependent on the applied gate voltage. Analytical expressions for Idsat and Gmsat obtained from this approximation show the same general behavior as experimental results of short channel LDD NMOSFETs.
