Various kinds of winding arrangements can be used to enable fault current limiters (FCL) to tolerate higher forces without resulting in a substantial increase in construction and fabrication costs. In this paper, a distributed winding arrangement is investigated in terms of its effects on the short-circuit forces in a three-phase FCL. The force magnitudes of the AC supplied windings are calculated by employing a finite element-based model in the time stepping procedure. The leakage flux and radial and axial force magnitudes obtained from the simulation are compared to those obtained from a conventional winding arrangement. The comparison shows that the distributed winding arrangement significantly reduces the radial and, especially, the axial force magnitudes.

In this paper, the new open fault detection and tolerant operation method for 3 phase PWM rectifier is proposed. When open fault occurred on the inverter switches of 3 Phase PWM rectifier, the DC link voltage ripple is increased because the input current of the faulty phase is distorted. In this case, the quality of electric power would decrease, and the life time of DC link capacitor is decreased. The open fault is detected by a simple MRAS(Model Reference Adaptive System) without additional hardware sensors, and the tolerant operation carried out by turning on the opposite switch of the faulty switch without any redundancy. By the proposed method, the faulty phase input current can be controlled, so that 3-phase input current is balanced relatively under the faulty condition and the voltage ripple of DC link output is reduced. The validity of the proposed technique is proved on the 6kW 3-phase PWM rectifier system by simulation and experiment.

최근 MEMS 센서는 기계상태감시에 있어서 전력소모, 크기, 비용, 이동성, 응용 등에 있어서 각광을 받고 있다. 특히, MEMS 센서는 스마트센서와 통합가능하고, 대량생산이 가능하여 가격이 저렴하다는 장점이 있다. 이와 관련한 기계상태감시를 위한 많은 실험적 연구가 수행되고 있다. 이 논문은 MEMS 센서들을 3 가지 인공지능 분류기 성능평가를 위한 비교연구에 대해 설명하고 있다. 회전기계에 MEMS 가속도와 전류센서들을 부착하여 데이터를 취득했고, 특징추출과 파라미터 최적화를 위해 Cross validation 기법을 사용하였다. MEMS 센서를 이용한 결함분류기 적용은 적합하다고 판단된다.

본 연구는 석탄화력 탈황설비인 흡수탑 교반기용 유도전동기의 베어링 결함진단을 토대로 전류 스펙트럼 해석이 예측정비 수단으로서 활용할 수 있는지를 논하고자 하였다. 베어링의 교체 전과 후의 전류스펙트럼 해석을 하고 베어링을 육안 점검하여 비교 분석함으로써 실제 발전 산업현장에서 부하운전중인 유도전동기의 베어링의 결함진단을 하였다. 분석 결과, 볼과 외륜의 베어링 결함에 해당하는 주파수성분이 예측한 값으로 검출되었고 전압기준의 진폭크기로 환산하여 베어링 교체하기 전과 후를 비교하면 결함이 진행될 경우 볼 결함에서는 약 2.9배 증가되고 외륜 결함에서는 약 2.24배 증가 되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 같은 결론으로 인위적인 고장요소에 의한 베어링 결함진단 뿐만 아니라 산업현장에서 부하 운전되고 있는 유도전동기의 베어링 결함을 사전에 예측하는데 있어서도 매우 유용하였다.

A cryogenic cooling system is designed for a 154 kV/ 2 kA three-phase hybrid type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL). The superconducting modules of the SFCL have the operating condition of 71 K at 500 kPa. The total heat load of the SFCL including the cooling system is estimated at 9.6 kW. The cooling system of the closed loop is configured to meet the operating condition, depending on cooling methods of forced flow cooling and re-liquefaction cooling. The cooling system is composed of three cryostats with superconducting modules, cryocoolers, liquid nitrogen circulation pumps, a subcooler and a pressure builder. The basic cooling concept is to circulate liquid nitrogen between three SFCL cryostats and the cryocooler, while maintaining the operating pressure. The design criterion for the cooling system is based on the operation results of the cooling system for a 154 kV/2 kA single-phase hybrid SFCL. The specifications of system components including the piping system are determined according to the design criterion.

In this paper, we investigated the. characteristics of fault current limiting according to fault angle in the integrated three-phase flux-lock type SFCL in fault types such as the single-line-to-ground fault, the double-line-to-ground fault and the three-line-to-ground fault. When the SFCL is operating under normal condition, the magnetic flux generated between primary and secondary coils of each single phase is canceled out perfectly, so that the impedance of the SFCL is also not generated and the power system can be operated normally without any loss, However, if a fault occurs even in any phase out of three phases, quench happened in SFCL elements and the current flowing secondary coil is restricted abruptly. Finally, the balance of magnetic flux in whole SFCL system is destroyed, and the fault currents in every phase could be limited at the same time irrespective of the fault types. As a result, the developed SFCL in this study were operated normally as expected and the purpose of the integration of 3 phase current limiting was also achieved successfully. However, the fault current limiting characteristics of the SFCL was dependant on the quench characteristics of HTSC elements in each phase, and it was expected that the improvement of the SFCL could be possible through the introduction of HTSC elements which have better critical characteristics.

An advanced superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using $high-T_c$ superconducting (HTS) wire has been developed. The SFCL has a non-inductively wound magnet for reducing loss in normal state. Two types of non-inductively wound magnets, the solenoid type and the pancake type, were designed and manufactured by using Bi-2223 wire in this research. Short-circuit tests of the magnets were performed in sub-cooled $LN_2$ cooling system of 65 K. The magnets are thermally more stable and have a higher critical current in 65 K sub-cooled $LN_2$ cooling system than in 77 K saturated one. Because the resistivity of matrix at 65 K is lower than the resistivity at 77 K, the magnets generate a small resistance to reduce the fault current when the quench occurs. The magnets could limit the fault current to low current level with such a small resistance. The current limiting characteristic of the magnets was analyzed from the test result. The solenoid type was wound in parallel to make it non-inductive. The pancake type was also connected in parallel to be compared with the solenoid type in the same condition. The solenoid type was found to have a good thermal stability compared with the pancake type. It also had as large resistance as the pancake type to limit the fault current in sub-cooled $LN_2$ cooling system.

With recent ESS (Energy Storage System) fire accident, the fault protection performance is becoming more important. However, there has never been any experiments with the protection performance on the faults in the ESS system level. In this study, the effect of AC ground fault and IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar mode Transistor) short-circuit failure on MW class ESS was performed experimentally for the first time in the world. First of all, the effect of the AC single line ground fault on battery was analyzed. Moreover, the transient voltage was investigated as a function of the battery capacity and the power level. Finally, the breaking capability and insulation performance of ESS were examined under PCS short-circuit fault condition. Through the tests, it was found that ESS protection system safely blocked the faulty current regardless of the faults, whereas the electronic parts such as IGBT and MC (Magnetic Contactor) were broken by the fault current. Also, the electrical breakdown in ESS resulted from the transient voltage during the protection process.
