This paper deals with the two stage surge protection device by using varistor and LC low pass filter. Recently varistor alone has been used with overvoltage protection devices for the AC power mains and has same problems associated with high remnant voltage and noise. In this work, in order to improve the cutoff performance of surge protection device, the lightning surge protection device having two stage hybrid circuit for an AC single phase mains was designed and fabricated. Operation characteristics and surge clamping performance of the surge protection device in an $8/20{\mu}s$ surge current are investigated. As a consequence, it is found that the proposed two stage surge protective device for AC power mains has a variety of advantages such as a smaller clamping voltage, high frequency noise reduction and large clamping capacity.

A pulse frequency control(PFM) method for single-phase SEPIC-type rectifier is described in this paper. In the SEPIC rectifier, a relationship between the output power and the respective switching frequency is investigated to establish the control scheme of PFM. The propsed control method is provided with a feed-forward control loop of the output load as well as a feed-back control loop of the output voltage. The simulation results show good dynamic responses and unity power-factor operation.

This study proposes a new method to estimate voltage unbalance more exactly using Thevenin's equivalent circuit. The conventional simple formula were easily applied to evaluate voltage unbalance. Because the formula was derived on the assumption that traction load would be directly connected to the secondary windings of the main transformer, they could not consider the detailed characteristics of traction power supply system, for example, self and mutual impedances of rail, catenary and return feeder. So, the ac쳐racy of the results could not be guaranteed. The proposed algorithm is applied to a standard autotransformer-fed test system to analyze unbalance phenomena. Through simulations, we could evaluate voltage and current unbalance factors and compare the voltage unbalance of the three transformer connection schemes : single phase, V- and Scott-connections which are required for suitable train operation schedules. Additionally, we could determine the combinations of trains which can be operated under the unbalance factor limits.

This paper proposes a Boundary Current Mode (BCM) control scheme to realize soft switching on a conventional single phase full bridge DC/AC inverter. This technique with the advantages of no auxiliary components, low cost, high efficiency, and simple in control, is attractive for micro-inverter applications. The operation principle and characteristic waveforms of the proposed soft switching technique are analyzed in theory. A digital controller is provided based on that theory. To balance the requirements of efficiency, switching frequency, and inductor size, the design considerations are discussed in detail to guide in BCM inverter construction. A 150W prototype is built under these guidelines to implement the BCM control scheme. Simulation and experiment results demonstrate the feasibilities of the proposed soft switching technique.

This paper proposes a novel UPFC based on 3-level Half-bridge modules, isolated through single-phase multi-winding transformers. The dynamic performance of proposed system was analyzed by simulation with EMTDC, assuming that the UPFC is connected with the 138-kV transmission line of one-machine-infinite-bus power system. The proposed system can be directly connected to the transmission line without series injection transformers. It has flexibility in expanding the operation voltage by increasing the number of 3-level Half-bridge modules.

A new three-level push-pull type quantum series resonant rectifier for the power factor correction is proposed. The proposed single phase rectifier enables a zero-current switching operation of all the power devices allowing the circuit to operate at high switching frequencies and high power levels. With the proposed control technique, an unity power factor and greatly reduced line current harmonics can be obtained.

This study presents a method for identifying partial discharge defects in an eco-friendly gas insulated system using a backpropagation algorithm. Four partial discharge (PD) electrode systems, namely, a free-moving particle, protrusion on the conductor, protrusion on the enclosure, and voids, were designed to simulate PD defects that can occur during the operation of eco-friendly gas-insulated switchgear. The PD signals were measured using an ultrahigh-frequency sensor as a nonconventional method based on IEC 62478. To identify the types of PD defects, the PD parameters of single PD pulses in the time and frequency domains and the phase-resolved partial discharge patterns were extracted, and a back-propagation algorithm in the artificial neural network was designed using a virtual instrument based on LabVIEW. The backpropagation algorithm proposed in this paper has an accuracy rate of over 90% for identifying the types of PD defects, and the result is expected to be used as a reference database for asset management and maintenance work for eco-friendly gas-insulated power equipment.

A scheme is proposed to generate triangular waveforms with alterable symmetry. The key component is a cascaded single-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (SD-MZM) and optical polarization beam splitter-combiner architecture. In this triangular waveform generator, the bias-induced phase shift, modulation index and controllable delay difference are changeable. To generate triangular waveform signals with different symmetry indexes, different combinations of these variables are selected. Compared with the previous schemes, this generator just contains one SD-MZM and the balanced photodetector (BPD) is not needed, which means the costs and energy consumption are significantly reduced. The operation principle of this triangular waveform generator has been theoretically analyzed, and the corresponding simulation is conducted. Based on the theoretical and simulated results, some experiments are demonstrated to prove the validity of the scheme. The triangular waveform signals with a symmetry factor range of 20-80% are generated. Both experiment and theory prove the feasibility of this method.
