This paper describes insulation design and its reliability evaluation of ${\pm}80kV$ HVDC XLPE cable. Recently, the construction of HVDC transmission system, which is combined overhead line with underground cable, has been completed. This system is installed with existing 154 kV AC transmission line on the same tower. In this paper, the lightning transient analysis is firstly reviewed for selection of basic impulse insulation level and nominal insulation thickness. Then the electrical performance tests including load cycle test and superimposed impulse test based on CIGRE TB 496 are performed to evaluate the reliability of newly designed HVDC cable. There is no breakdown for ${\pm}80kV$ HVDC XLPE cable during electrical performance test. Finally, this system is installed in Jeju island based on successful electrical performance test (Type test). After installation tests are also successfully completed.

This paper investigates the droop control-based real and reactive power load sharing with a virtual inductor when the line impedance between inverter and Point of Common Coupling (PCC) is partly and unequally resistive in high-capacity systems. In this paper, the virtual inductor method is applied to parallel inverter systems with resistive and inductive line impedance. Reactive power sharing error has been improved by applying droop control after considering each line impedance voltage drop. However, in high capacity parallel systems with large output current, the reference output voltage, which is the output of droop controller, becomes lower than the rated value because of the high voltage drop from virtual inductance. Hence, line impedance voltage drop has been added to the droop equation so that parallel inverters operate within the range of rated output voltage. Additionally, the virtual inductor value has been selected via small signal modeling to analyze stability in transient conditions. Finally, the proposed droop method has been verified by MATLAB and PSIM simulation.

Correct and fast detection of a micro-grid (MG) islanding is essential to the MG since operation, control and protection of the MG depend on an operating mode i.e., an interconnected mode or an islanding mode. When islanding occurs, the frequency of the point of common coupling (PCC) is not the nominal frequency during the transient state owing to the frequency rise or drop of generators in the MG. Thus, the active and reactive power calculated by the frequency domain based method such as Fourier Transform might contain some errors. This paper proposes an islanding detection algorithm for the MG based on the instantaneous active and reactive powers delivered to the dedicated line in the time domain. During the islanding mode, the instantaneous active and reactive powers delivered to the dedicated line are constants, which depend on the voltage of the PCC and the impedance of the dedicated line. In this paper, the instantaneous active and reactive powers are calculated in the time domain and used to detect islanding. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified under various scenarios including islanding conditions, fault conditions and load variation using the PSCAD/EMTDC simulator. The results indicate that the algorithm successfully detects islanding for the MG.

Since high-speed train is a dynamic load in which electric power is externally supplied, contact loss between the catenary and pantograph occurs. This phenomena including vibrations generates frequently irregular arcs, which, in turn causes EMI. Thus it is very important to develop the approach to reduce arc phenomenon by contact loss, as speed of electric railway vehicle increases. In case of an electric railway vehicle using electrical power, compared with diesel rolling stock, Power Line Disturbance(PLD) such as harmonics, transient voltage and current, Electromagnetic Interference(EMI), and dummy signal injection etc usually occur. In this study, the dynamic characteristics of a contact wire and a pantograph suppling electrical power to high-speed train are investigated with an electrical response point. To implement power line disturbance induced by contact loss phenomenon for high speed train operation, a hardware simulator which considers contact loss between contact wire and pantograph as well as contact wire deviation is developed. It is confirmed by the experiments that contact loss effect is largely dependent on voltage conditions when the contact loss occurs. Also, a passive filter is designed to reduce power disturbance and the designed system is verified by experiment.

제한적인 탄소배출의 필요성과 연계되는 전력수요 증가는 재생에너지산업에서 폭발적인 상승을 가져오고 있다. 전력계통에서 전기공급은 항상 전기수요와 균형을 맞추어야 할 필요가 있고, 안전하고 믿을만한 안정적인 운영을 유지하기 위하여 계통손실이 발생한다. 높은 비율의 재생에너지 보급을 갖는 전력계통에서 과도 안정도, 미소신호 안정도 및 주파수 안정도와 같은 넓은 범위의 3가지의 난제가 있다. 과도안정도는 선로계전기 동작이나 발전기 탈락과 같은 장애에 대한 계통응답을 해석하는 것이다. 미소신호 안정도는 계통관성 저하에 따른 전압불안정, 주파수 급변, 전력진동 등이 발생가능한 계통에서 조그만 증분같은 작은 동요가 일어날 때 전력계통 동기를 유지하기 위한 계통의 기능이다. 주파수 안정도는 발전과 부하 사이에 심한 불균형이 발생하는 중대 계통혼란에서도 정상 주파수를 유지하기 위한 전력계통의 기능으로 간주한다. 본 논문에서 재생에너지 보급계획에 따른 계통모의를 수행하여 3종류 안정도를 검토하며, 또한 재생에너지원이 계통안정도에 미치는 영향을 분석한다.

본 논문에서는 연료전지와 컨버터 모듈을 채용한 1-[KVA] 용량의 Line-interactive방식의 무정전 전원 공급장치(UPS)가 제안된다. 제안된 시스템은 두 개의 500[W]급 양자 교환막형 연료전지에 DC/DC 컨버터가 결합된 모듈을 채용하며, 이 모듈들이 인버터의 DC-Link를 공유한다. DC-Link에는 슈퍼커패시터 모듈이 채용되어 출력의 변동이나 연료 개질기의 느린 동특성으로 인한 연료전지와 부하 사이의 순시적인 전력의 불균형을 개선시킨다. 또한 슈퍼커패시터에 저장된 에너지는 단시간 동안의 과부하를 처리할 때에도 사용될 수 있다. 제안된 시스템은 배터리를 사용하지 않으므로 환경친화적이며 청정 에너지원에 대한 요구를 만족시킨다. 1-[KVA] 시스템의 설계 예가 제시되며, 1시간의 정전동안 부하에 전력을 공급하기 위해 필요한 수소의 양과 보상용 슈퍼커패시터의 용량을 계산하는 방법이 소개된다.

New applications of streamlined Autonomous Underwater Vehicles require an AUV capable of completing missions with both high-speed straight-line runs and slow maneuvers or station keeping tasks. At low, or zero, forward speeds, the AUV's control surfaces become ineffective. To improve an AUV's low speed maneuverability, while maintaining a low drag profile, through-body tunnel thrusters have become a popular addition to modern AUV systems. The effect of forward vehicle motion and sideslip on these types of thrusters is not well understood. In order to characterize these effects and to adapt existing tunnel thruster models to include them, an experimental system was constructed. This system includes a transverse tunnel thruster mounted in a streamlined AUV. A 6-axis load cell mounted internally was used to measure the thrust directly. The AUV was mounted in Memorial University of Newfoundland's tow tank, and several tests were run to characterize the effect of vehicle motion on the transient and steady state thruster performance. Finally, a thruster model was modified to include these effects.

This paper describes new PID control methods based on the fuzzy logic. PID gains are retuned after evaluating control performances of transient responses in terms of performance features. The retuning procedure is based on fuzzy rules and reasoning accumulated from the knowledge of experts on PID gain scheduling. For the case that the retuned PID gains result in worse CLDR (characteristics of load disturbance rejection) than the initial gains, an on-line tuning scheme of the set-point weighting parameter is, proposed. This is based on the fact that the set-point weighting method efficiently reduce either overshoot or undershoot without any degradation of CLDR. The set-point weighting parameter is adjusted at each sampling instant by the fuzzy rules and reasoning. As a result, better control performances were achived in comparison with die controllers tuned by the Z-N (Ziegler-Nichols) parameter tuning formula or by the fixed set-point weighting parameter.

We present a novel speed estimation of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(PMSM) based on Support Vector Regression(SVR). The proposed method can estimate wide speed range, including 0.33Hz with full load, accurately in the steady and transient states where motor parameters variations are known without parameter estimator. Moreover, the method does not need offline training previously but is trained on-line. The training starts with the PMSM operation simultaneously and estimates the speed in real time. The experimental results shows the validity and the usefulness of the proposed algorithm for the 0.4Kw PMSM DSP(TMS320VC33) drive system.

It is proposed a new compensation method in the rotor time constant of indirect vector controlled induction motor. The proposed scheme is an on-line method using the stator current error that is the difference between current command and estimated current calculated from terminal voltages and currents. As the current error becomes to zero, the rotor time constant in the vector controller approaches the real value. The proposed method shows good performances in the transient region as well as in the steady state region regardless of load torque variation, and it is verified by the computer simulation using SIMULINK in Matlab.
