Non-isolated OSAKA Converter, which removes a three-phase transformer, is described in this paper. The converter switches once in every half cycle of an AC commercial power source. Therefore, it can solve many problems caused by the high frequency operation. The proposed converter achieves the soft-switching operation and the EMI noise can be reduced. In this circuit, the resonant capacitor, which is used for the soft-switching operation, is utilized for the improvement of an input current waveform. To achieve low cost and compact structure, non-isolated OSAKA converter removes a three-phase transformer of the OSAKA converter. By removing the three-phase transformer, three phase currents occur the interferences each other. To avoid the interference, a new switching method for non-isolated OSAKA converter is preposed. The converter can be constructed by the low-speed large power devices. The converter generates the low distorted input current waveforms with high power factor.

In this study, we evaluate the performance of permanent magnets (PMs). The efficiency of attraction in the high speed region was studied using the Variable Flux Memory Motor (VFMM). It is presented in order to analyze the magnetic characteristics of PMs, using the second quadrant plan data with re- and demagnetization. In addition, this study focuses on the evaluation of operational characteristics relative to the magnetizing directions according to the d-axis currents, by using one of the finite element solutions. The feasibility of application for the VFMM has been experimentally demonstrated.

We investigate the lateral far-field pattern characteristics, including divergence angle change and far-field pattern analysis as output power increases, of narrow-emitter-width 850 nm GaAs/AlGaAs laser diodes (LDs). Each LD has a cavity of 1200 and 1500 ㎛ and narrow emitter width of 2.4 ㎛ for the top and 4.6 ㎛ for the bottom. The threshold currents are 35 and 40 mA, and L-I kinks appear at power levels of 326 and 403 mW, respectively. The divergence angle tends to increase due to the occurrence of first-order lateral mode and the thermal lensing effect. But with the L-I kink, the divergence angle decreases and the far-field pattern becomes asymmetric. This is due to coherent superposition between the fundamental and the first-order lateral mode. We provide detailed explanations for these observations based on high-power laser diode simulation results.

In this paper was proposed a flux offset-type fault current limiter as means of reducing fault currents. To secure the operation reliability of a flux offset-type fault current limiter, constructed a simulation system to analyze its operation characteristics by generating a double line-to-line fault. According to the test results, the system performed stably without any impedance. However, when an accident occurred, the flux-offset of magnetic was not occurred. Because of this, any impedance occurred at circuit. It was confirmed that the impedance was low and fast to limit the fault current. At this time, the fault current limited rate was about 95%.

Most of the loads in industrial power distribution systems are balanced and connected to three power systems. However, in the user power distribution systems, most of the loads are single & three phase and unbalanced, generating voltage unbalance. Voltage unbalance factor is mainly affected by load system rather than stable power system. Unbalanced voltage will draw a highly unbalanced current. As a result, the three-phase currents may differ considerably, thus resulting in an increased temperature rise in the machine. This paper presents a scheme on the characteristics of voltage and current unbalance factor under the load variation at the three phase 4-wire system. Load unbalance factor is measured by the power quality measurement apparatus and compared by the current unbalance factor. Two methods are indicated similar results. The voltage unbalance factor of the three-phase 4-wire system is approved by the field measurement. Each phase has an impedance each other by the unbalanced operation pattern and give rise to voltage unbalance.

This paper describes the self healing characteristics of metalized polypropylene film(MPPF) under ac condition. PDs were generally observed at relatively low voltage, and the PDIVs were differently varied depending on the number of pre-self healing due to void defects. Several pre-self healing events took place at lower voltage than the critical breakdown voltage of PPF. Self healing mainly occurred at pin tips, wrinkle sides, and cross points of wrinkles. The applied voltage at self healing was increased with PPF thickness. The burn out area at self healing was also increased with the applied voltage and PPF thickness. The peak currents in a grounding conductor at self healing was also increased with the applied voltage.

This paper analyzes the steady-state output characteristics of variable-speed wind turbine systems using doubly-fed induction generators(DFIG) compared with fixed-speed induction generator(FSIG) wind turbine systems. It also presents simulations of a grid-connected wind turbine generation system for dynamics analysis on MATLAB/Simulink and compares the responses between DFIG and FSIG wind turbine systems with respect to wind speed variation, impedance changes and X/R ratio changes of interconnecting circuits. Simulation results show the variation of generator's active output, terminal voltage and fault currents at the interconnecting point. Case studies demonstrate that DFIG wind turbine systems illustrate better performance to 3-phase fault than FSIG's.

Penetration of distributed generator(DG) to power distribution system can cause malfunction of existing protection schemes. Because grid interconnected DG can contribute fault currents and make bidirectional current flows on the system, fault contributions from DG can cause an interference of protection relay operation. Therefore, over current protection device of the distribution system with DGs need directional protection schemes. In this paper, improved directional protection algorithms are proposed for the distribution system with DG considering their fault characteristics. And than, these directional protection algorithms are tested and validated in various fault conditions. From the simulation results, it can be seen that the proposed directional protection algorithms are practically efficient for the radial distribution system with DG.

Effects of nano-silver contents(15~50wt%) on screen printed-etched gate electrodes and electrical characteristics of OTFTs were investigated. As Ag contents increased, the screen-printed film was transferred exactly without spreading and obtained the densely-packed layer with a stable and excellent conductivity but, its thickness was increased and surface became rougher. It was found that the leakage current of MIM devices and off-state currents of OTFTs became larger due to poor step coverage of PVP dielectric layer on the thick and rough gate electrodes for nano-Ag inks with Ag contents more than 30wt%.
