As generally recognized, the driving performance of a SRM at higher speed will be degraded due to the effects of back electromagnetic force (EMF). This phenomenon can be improved via voltage boosting. So in this paper an improved converter of enhancing the performance for four-phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) is proposed. By using one additional capacitor and switches, an extra controllable boosted voltage can be produced during the rise and fall periods of a motor phase current. Then this active boosted voltage can reduce the effect of EMF on the current, particularly at high speeds. The attractive features of the proposed converter are as follows: obtaining boosted voltage to improve performance of SRM with same numbers of switch and diode as asymmetric converter, having higher control flexibility and capability of boosting voltage compared with passive boosting converters, possessing lower cost and simple control in comparison with existing active boosting converters. The performances of the proposed circuit are verified by the simulation and experiment results.

S-band, C-band and X-band radars are used for weather observation purposes. Since the Meteorological Administration, the Ministry of Environment, and Republic of Korea Air Force operate radars according to the purpose of observation by departments, the installation site and observation characteristics are different. From a meteorological point of view, blind observational areas in the low level with an elevation of less than 1 km around the mountainous terrain near Jirisan and Taebaeksan. Assuming a small radar installation, we simulated low-level observations. In order to monitor dangerous weather in North Korea, we analyzed the precipitation of North Korea and simulated a large radar network. Finally, a radar network for Korean Peninsula was proposed.

The resistive type high temperature superconducting fault current limiter (HTSFCL) limits the fault current using the resistance generated by fault current. The generated resistance by fault current makes large pulse power which makes the operation of HTSFCL unstable. So, the cryogenic cooling system of the resistive type HTSFCL must diffuse and eliminate the pulse energy very quickly. Although the best way is to make wide direct contact area between HTS winding and coolant as much as possible, HTS winding also needs the impregnation layer which fixes and protects it from electromagnetic force. This paper deals with the thermal conductivity and dielectric strength of some epoxy compounds for the impregnation of high temperature superconducting (HTS) winding in liquid nitrogen. The measured data can be used in the optimal design of impregnation for HTS winding. Aluminar filling increased the thermal conductivity of epoxy compounds. Hardener also affected the thermal and electric characteristic of epoxy compounds.

초대형 컨테이너선을 대비하여 기존의 자동화 이송 시스템인 AGV는 자동화, 유지보수의 어려움 등으로 인해 많은 문제점이 있다. 이에 대한 방안으로, 새로운 이송 시스템인 LMTT(Linear Motor based Transfer Technology) 시스템을 제안하였다. 특히 LMTT는 자동화, 고속화가 용이할 뿐만 아니라 AGV에 비해서 친환경적이다. 따라서 이와 유사한 새로운 이송시스템에 대해서 많은 연구가 진행이 되고 있음에도 불구하고, LMTT 시스템은 거대한 서보 시스템으로서 특히 선형 모터(Linear Motor)는 차량의 무게에 의한 마찰력의 영향을 많이 받으며, 이러한 마찰력은 LMTT 시스템의 속응성의 저하 요인으로서 작용 하게된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는, 새로운 이송 시스템인 LMTT에 대하여 부상력을 고려함으로서 정지 마찰력을 감소시켜 시스템 속응성을 향상시킬 수 있는 연구를 수행하였다.

Induction bending is a method that allows the bending of any material that conducts electricity. This technology applies a bending force to a material that has been locally heated by an eddy current induced by a fluctuating electromagnetic field. Induction bending uses an inductor to locally heat steel through induction. This results in a narrow heat band in the shape to be bent. In general, the reduction of thickness attenuation of a large-diameter steel pipe is not allowed to exceed 12.5%. In this paper, in order to meet the standard of thickness attenuation reduction, a non-uniform heating temperature jump-bending process was investigated. As a result, the developed bending technique meets the requirements of thickness attenuation reduction for large-diameter steel pipes.

The design of industrial arc plasma systems is still largely based on trial and error although the situation is rapidly improving because of the available computational power at a cost which is still fast coming down. The desire to predict the behavior of arc plasma system, thus reducing the development cost, has been the motivation of arc research. To interrupt fault current, the most enormous duty of a circuit breaker, is achieved by separating two contacts in a interruption medium, $SF_{6}$ gas or air etc., and arc plasma is inevitably established between the contacts. The arc must be controlled and interrupted at an appropriate current zero. In order to analyze arc behavior in $SF_{6}$ gas circuit breakers, a numerical calculation method combined with flow field and electromagnetic field has been developed. The method has been applied to model arc generated in the Aachen nozzle and compared the results with the experimental results. Next, we have simulated the unsteady flow characteristics to be induced by arcing of AC cycle, and conformed that the method can predict arc behavior in account of thermal transport to $SF_{6}$ gas around the arc, such as increase of arc voltage near current zero and dependency of arc radius on arc current to maintain constant arc current density.

To use vibration energy to generate electricity, a resonance vertical linear electric generator was applied to the suspension of a vehicle in a previous paper. However, the working conditions, including mass change in the vehicle body related to the cargo on board, number of passengers and the temperature difference caused by the operating environment, can influence the permanent magnet, which is the main component of the electric generator. Therefore, a robust optimum design is required to minimize the influences from the diverse operation conditions and maximize the electromotive force of the electric generator. In this paper, a resonance linear electric generator is introduced. Vibration response analysis to find the input velocity of the electric generator and an electromagnetic transient analysis to apply changes in the performance of the permanent magnet are performed. Finally, the optimum value of each design variable is derived using a Taguchi method.

In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPMSM) and interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSM). First, we use 2D finite element analysis (FEA) to analyze models satisfying the same rated conditions according to the torque-speed curve characteristics, which are determined from the operating conditions. Next, we manufacture an SPMSM and IPMSM having good performances from an electromagnetic perspective based on analysis results, namely the cogging torque, torque ripple, and efficiency. We analyze both of the manufactured machines when they are connected back-to-back and when they are used as a motor and a generator, respectively. The motor is driven by a commercial inverter and the generator is connected to a three-phase resistance load bank. Finally, based on experimental results, which include the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the back electro-motive force (EMF), cogging torque, efficiency, and mass, we determine the motor that is most suitable under requirements.

In order to more closely examine the vacuum arc phenomena, it is necessary to predict the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) characteristics by the multidisciplinary numerical modeling, which is coupled with the electromagnetic and hydrodynamic fields, simultaneously. In this study, the thermal-fluid characteristics of high current vacuum arcs were calculated by a commercial multiphysics package, ANSYS, in order to obtain Joule heat, Lorentz force and the interactions with flow variables. We assumed the diffused-mode arc within an AMF vacuum interrupter. It was found with four different currents that the temperature distributions on the anode surface are diffused uniformly without concentration in 7kA for both types (cup and coil-type). But the arc plasma transition and an increase of thermal flux density for increasing the applied current have caused the change of temperature distributions on the anode surface. We should need further studies on the two-way coupling method and radiation model for arc plasmas in order to accomplish the advanced analysis method for multiphysics.
