This paper suggest away to maintain constant power through trolley wire by transferring increased line voltage to the AC main line while changing the mode from Converter(Forward) to Inverter(Reverse) when the line voltage is increased due to regenerative power when the train stops, This paper suggests a Double Converter DC substation that can create regenerative power when the train stops reusable. We also proposed using a simulation tool, the optimal Thyrister firing angle that can minimize the undershoot and overshoot that occurs when transferring the mode from Converter to Inverter for quality improvement of DC voltage in the Double Converter in the DC substation from the Busan Urban Subway.

This paper proposed the voltage compensation analysis method in distribution system by EMTP. SVC (Static Var Compensator) of the thyristor controlled reactor type is used for compensation system. EMTP(E1ectr-o Magnetic Transient Program) model of SVC is proposed to analysis the voltage improvement characteristics at the high voltage system bus. It is composed with three parts ; rms detector, voltage regulator and gate pulse generator. The control signal of TCR is determined by rms value which was measured in system. As the result of EMTP simulation, all of the SVC characteristics like TCR current, firing pulse and bus voltage is very reliable. This method could be used to analysis the planning and the operation of compensation system in the large scale factory.

The dielectric layers in AC plasma display panel(PDP) are essential to the discharge cell structure, because they protect metal electrodes from sputtering by positive ion bombarding in discharge plasma and form a sheath of wall charges which are essential to memory function of AC PDP. This layer should have high dielectric breakdown voltage, and also be transparent because the luminance of PDP is strongly correlated this layer. In this paper, we discussed the dielectric breakdown voltage and transparency of the dielectric layer under various conditions. As a result, on the $15\mum$ thickness, the minimum dielectric breakdown voltage was 435V and the transmission coefficient was about 80% after $570^{\circ}C$ firing process. It can be proposed that the resonable dielectric thickness in AC PDP is $15\mum$ because it has about 75V margin on the maximum applied voltage.

In this paper, the discharge characteristics of ac-type cylindrical discharge devices with diameters (D) in the $50{\sim}400{\mu}m$ range have been investigated numerically. The cylindrical devices have much lower breakdown voltages compared to the coplanar electrode structures. The breakdown voltage of the cylindrical structures increases with the decrease of diameters in $50{\sim}100{\mu}m$ range. In $100{\sim}200{\mu}m$ range, however, the breakdown voltage decreases slightly with the decrease of diameters. Also, as the diameter gets smaller, the electron heating efficiency is greatly improved.

The positive column discharge characteristics in the long gap (440 ${\mu}m$) are investigated based on the voltage distribution among three electrodes. In particular, the effects of the amplitude and width of the short pulse applied to the address electrode on the positive column discharge characteristics are examined intensively. By proper controlling of the amplitude and width of the address short pulse, it is found that the positive column discharge in the long gap is well constructed. As a result, under the stable static voltage margin condition, the firing and sustaining voltages are as low as those of conventional short gap(60 ${\mu}m$) discharge($V _f=220V$, $V_s=150V$) and the color purity is improved. Moreover, the luminous efficiency increases up to 60% in comparison with the conventional case.

In AC Plasma Display Panel(PDP), serious problems are low radiation brightness and very high discharge voltage. To solve these problems, it is necessary to obtain optimal frequency of drive waveform and optimal gas mixing ratio. This paper presents firing voltage and sustain voltage as frequency of waveform and gas mixing ratio, and proposes optimal frequency of drive waveform and optimal gas mixing ratio.

A triggered sparkp gap switch was fabricater and its high-voltage discharge characteristics were studied. The switch is composed of two main electrodes and one trigger electrode which is placed perpendicular to the main one. Spark gap distance was fixed by 25 mm. This device has been operated without self firing at the pulse repetition frequency from 1 to 20 Hz limited by the charging current, and the hold-off voltage from 10 to 30kV. An IGBT switch and igniter coil (originally used in a car) were adopted for a trigger circuit. In this article preliminary switch characteristics of the spark gap switch are reported with the emphasis on the description of the trigger circuit.

We have investigated the luminous efficiency of various cell resolution and structure from 50" FHD to 50" QFHD Plasma Display. The suggested test panels have two different cell array types which are the delta and matrix cell array type. The results showed that, in the case of the suggested QFHDs, the firing and sustain voltage were increased and voltage margin was decreased. These results are caused by the reduced wall voltage and increased charged particle loss, at the side wall. The luminance of the suggested QFHDs was lower from 20% to 40% than that of the suggested FHDs and the power consumption was higher from 42% to 83% than that of the suggested FHDs. In conclusion, the maximum luminous efficiency of the suggested QFHD(D110) has reached about 38%, compared with suggested FHDs($\fallingdotseq$ 2.7 lm/W).

This paper presents a new AC/DC converter scheme for HVDC system to achieve a high power factor operation. The new AC/DC converter consists of two 12-pulse bridge converters in series: the primary and auxiliary converters. Ignition angles of the main and auxiliary converters are controlled independently to maintain the nominal DC voltage and control auxiliary voltage. The resulted DC voltage obtained by superimposing the above two phase modulated voltages can be controlled very rapidly over a wide range, and a high power factor operation is achieved. Performance improvements in power factor and harmonic distortion are validated by theoretic derivations and experiments with prototype HVDC system. With the proposed converters, investment for reactive power compensation and filter in HVDC system can be saved significantly.

High Xe-content PDP characteristics are discussed. A high efficacy, up to 5 lm/W for a 50% Xe in Ne gas mixture, is realized in 4-inch color PDP test panel designs with low cost stripe-type barrier rib structures, that are powder blasted in soda lime glass. Furthermore, for a high Xe-content a high luminance can be obtained with a relatively small electrode area. Therefore the inter cell gap and the driving margin can be increased in a stripe-type barrier rib structure. Finally, for a high Xe-content the panel lifetime increases, due to increasing luminance and firing voltage stability. Clearly, these findings may direct the design development for next generation PDPs towards a high Xe-content
