The paper presents a modeling of the grid-connected wind turbine generation system on MATLAB/Simulink and aims to perform simulations for analysis of the system's characteristics. It performs a pitch regulation for control of the wind generator's output with respect to wind speed variation, and presents a relationship between interconnecting transformer's connections and fault current by reviewing the variations of fault current according to transformer connections in a grid-connected wind power generation system. It also investigates the effect of grounding methods of the interconnecting transformer's neutral point on fault current variations. The simulation results show the differences of fault currents, voltages and generator's characteristics for a line-to-ground fault according to interconnecting transformer's four different connections, and the differences of fault currents of the system according to grounding methods of the transformer neutral point. Therefore, the case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed simulation model on Simulink.

The three-phase four-wire power distribution system can be used to supply power to single-phase and three-phase loads at the same time. There are linear loads and nonlinear loads as single-phase loads connected to each phase. The nonlinear load generates a harmonic current during the power energy conversion process. In particular, the single-phase nonlinear load has a higher proportion of generation of the third harmonic current than the harmonics of the other orders. In a three-phase four-wire system, the third harmonic current flows through the neutral wire to the power supply side, affecting the power supply side and the line. Furthermore, the magnitude of the current flowing in the neutral line can be higher than the current flowing in the individual phase. If the neutral current is higher than the phase current, the breaker may be blocked. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the amount of current flowing in the neutral line by harmonics. There is a method of zigzag connecting a single phase transformer by a method of reducing 3 harmonic current. In this study, the method of reducing the magnitude of the three harmonic currents flowing through the zigzag wire by comparing the polarity and the negative polarity characteristics of the single phase transformer was compared through measurement and simulation.

The conventional high frequency phase-shifted full bridge dc/dc converter has a disadvantage that a circulating current flows through transformer and switching devices during the freewheeling interval. Due to this circulating current, RMS current stress, conduction losses of transformer and switching devices are increased. To alleviate this problem, this paper provides a circulating current free type high frequency soft switching phase-shifted full bridge (FB) dc/dc converter with energy recovery snubber (ERS) attached at the secondary side of transformer. The energy recovery snubber (ERS) adopted in this study is consisted of three fast recovery diode(Ds1, DS2, Ds3), two resonant capacitor (Cs1, Cs2)

This paper presents a new algorithm to analyze a train voltages of multi-trains in auto-transformer-fed AC railway systems, using electrical equivalent change. The train current will be divided into circulation and return currents, and these current values are the same. By evaluating each current independently, the result will be more precise. The train current flows through the all auto-transformer corresponding to track impedance. In analyzing the railway system, the algorithm is based on the K.C.L, K.V.L, superposition and circuit separation method. Multi-train's voltages are determined by calculating the catenary voltage at each train's position and adding up these train's voltage drop. Case studies use a field operational data, show that tile proposed method is easily applied.

The conventional high frequency phase-shifted full bridge DC-DC converter has a disadavantage that a circulating current flows through transformer and switching devices during the freewheeling interval Due to this circulating current, RMS current stress, conduction losses of transformer and switching devices are increased. To alleviate this problem, this study provides a novel circulating current free type high frequency soft switching phase-shifted full bridge DC-DC converter which applies the energy recovery snubber(ERS) attached at the secondary side of transformer. The ERS adopted in this study is consisted of three fast recovery diode($Ds_1$, $Ds_2$, $Ds_3$), two resonant capacitor($Cs_1$, $Cs_2$) and a small resonant inductor [(Lr) : It can be ignored because the transformer leakage inductance(Ll) is able to use in stead of inserting the resonant inductor(Lr)]

This paper examines the temperature characteristics of an Optical CT (optical current transformer) using the Faraday effect for measuring high current in a super high voltage-power apparatus. It is performed as follows by the sensor for embodying Faraday effect. $\cdot$ A single-mode optical fiber capable of maintaining a polarization state is used. $\cdot$ A light source is applied at 1310[nm] to a Laser Diode. $\cdot$ The Linear of Faraday effect to a large current is evaluated and $\cdot$ A possible application using an Optical CT was shown. An Influence of Faraday effect to the surrounding temperature measured -40~50[$^{\circ}C$], and the characteristic of the current sensitivity was reported. An application using the results of the temperature compensation system was used in order to compensate for surrounding temperatures. A possibility of applying Optical CT for electric power apparatus was advanced further. We were able to confirm that this temperature calibration method can minimize the fluctuation of the output signal depending on the temperature conditions.

The resistive superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) are very attractive devices for the electric power network. But they have some serious problems when the YBCO thin films were used for the current limiting materials due to the in homogeneities caused by manufacturing process. When the YBCO films have some inhomogeneities, simultaneous quenches are difficult to achieve when the fault current limiting units are connected in series for increasing operating voltage ratings. Magnetic field application is one of the prospective way of inducing simultaneous quenches far the series-connected resistive FCL components. Magnetic field was typically generated by the fault current thorough a coil, which is connected to components of the fault current limiter in series, leaving the problem, which provides significant inductance to the power line and suppresses critical current density of the superconducting components. In this article we investigated the possible application of the protective current transformer (p-CT), which is available current source to the magnetic coil. This system inductively coupled to the circuit, therefore, remarkably reducing impedance to the circuit. The current by the protective current transformer was directly fed to the coil, generating magnetic field large enough to reduce critical current density of the components. This successfully induced simultaneous quenches of the series-connected resistive FCL components.
