For the practical application on SCFCL(Superconducting fault current limiters), Bi-2212 tubes were fabricated by Centrifugal Forming Process(CFP). The tubes were annealed at 830, 840, $850^{\circ}C$, respectively for 80 hours in oxygen atmosphere. The tubes heat treated at $840^{\circ}C$ demonstrated better electric characteristics than the tubes heat treated at 830 and $850^{\circ}C$. The typical value measured at 77 K in the self field was around 556 A. In terms of cooling effect on superconducting properties, it was found the electrical properties were quite dependent on the mold design and shapes. In order to check uniformity along the tube, EFDLab fur heat and fluid analysis of NIKA was adopted. It was found out that the simulation data was quite well matched with experimental results.

The simple construction and low cost, fault tolerant power electronic drive has made the switched reluctance drive a strong contender for many applications. But the switched reluctance drive does exhibit higher levels of vibration and acoustic noise than most competing drives. The main source of vibration in the switched reluctance drive is generated by rapid change of radial force when phase current is extinguished by commutation action. In this paper, a hybrid excitation method is proposed to reduce vibration and acoustic noise of the switched reluctance drive. The hybrid excitation has 2-phase excitation by long dwell angle as well as conventional 1-phase excitation. The vibration and acoustic noise are reduced because the scheme reduces abrupt change of excitation level by distributed and balanced excitation.

This paper represents impedance calculation of the distance relay using PSCAD/EMTDC software for transmission line involving the UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller) device, which is the most vigorous component of FACTS. The presence of the UPFC significantly affects the line parameters of transmission system, which are also influenced by the distance relay setting. Moreover depending on the UPFC location and its parameters, zones of setting the distance relay will be changed. The presence of the UPFC in the fault loop affects both voltage and current seen by relay. Therefore, the distance relay should be taken into account the variable injected voltage of the UPFC.

동일한 임계전류 특성을 갖는 Bi-2223 테이프에 전력기기의 실제 응용에서 발생되는 큰 사고전류를 고려한 임계전류보다 큰 과임계전류를 흘렸을 때 테이프의 온도상승 및 저항 특성을 중요한 인자에 대해 조사하였다. 냉각이 좋은 즉 비절연 테이프의 경우 온도상승은 없고, 표피효과에 의한 저항의 증가도 없고, 특히 비절연 테이프의 경우 과도 및 정상 상태 저항이 동일한 반면 절연 테이프의 경우 매우 상이하고, 전기절연 길이를 전압탭보다 길게만 해주면 길이에 무관하게 온도상승 및 저항이 동일하였으며 마지막으로 모재의 저항율이 상이하여도 임계전류만 동일하면 온도상승 및 저항은 유사함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper covers switched reluctance generator (SRG) and its comparison with induction and synchronous machines for distributed generation. The SRG is simple in design, robust in construction, and fault tolerant in operation; it can also withstand very high temperatures. However, the performance and cost of the SRG power electronics driver are highly affected by the topology and design of the converter. IGBT and MOSFET based converters are not suitable for very high power applications. This paper presents thyristor-based resonant converters which are superior candidates for very high power applications. Operations of the converters are analyzed and their characteristics and dynamics are determined in terms of the system parameters. The resonant converters are capable of handling high currents and voltages; these converters are highly efficient and reliable as well. Therefore, they are suitable for high power applications in the range of 1MW or larger for distributed generation.

This paper deals with the characteristics of potential rise and effective impulse impedance of deep-driven ground rods that are used in high resistivity soil or in confined places such as downtown. Also the effects of the impulse and fault currents on the deep-driven ground rods combined with different type grounding electrodes like as mesh grids and counterpoises are described. The $8/20{\mu}s$ impulse current and other wave currents with different rise times are injected into the test ground rod and the effective impedances are examined. The most effective way to obtain the fine transient impedance behaviors of deep-driven ground rods is to reduce the inductive component of grounding electrode systems combined with other ground electrodes.
