Electric car tract plays the role of supply high electric power to the electric car from the substation by using Pantograph of the electric car. It is always exposed to the external atmosphere, which results in quite substantial fluctuations in current and voltage during operation of electric car. This generates possibility of occurrence of accident at all times. Since range of wiring metallic globe installed on the catenary cannot achieve complete electrical contact, accidents are occurring due to circulating current caused by arc caused by incomplete contact due to occurrence of hairline fracture of Pantograph due to pressure or vibration of wiring. Furthermore, rapid increase in the operational current due to increase in the operational frequency of the electric car is causing erosion and short circuit of the metallic globe at the contact points. This study on arc is generated as current transmitted out of the substation courses through power line or wiring metallic globe other than the main circuit as the current is being collected at the electric car through feeder and feeder divergence device. Accordingly, since heat generated by the arc becomes the cause for generation of circulating current due to melting of metal or softening of metal due to increase in temperature accompanying increase in contact resistance, this research shall describe causes and measures against occurrence of circulation current.

How to generate the precise broad group cross section is important for the fast reactor design. In this study, a fast reactor multi-group cross-section generation code MGGC2.0 are developed in-house for processing ultrafine group MATXS format library. Validation and verification are performed for MGGC2.0 code by applying the benchmarks of ICSBEP handbook, and the results of MGGC2.0 agree well with that of MCNP. The consistent P_N method with critical buckling search is in good agreement that condensed with TWODANT flux and flux moment for the inner core and outer core region. For the radial blanket and reflector, two region approximation method has been applied in MGGC2.0 by using collision Probability Method neutron flux solver. The RBEC-M benchmark was used to verify the power distribution calculation, and the relative error of power distribution comparison with the reference are less than 0.8% in the fuel region and the maximum relative error is 5.58% in the reflector region. Therefore, the precise broad cross section can be generated by MGGC2.0 for fast reactor.

This paper proposes an APF(Active Power Filter) with WRIM(Wounded Rotor Induction Motor) controlled by sliding mode which can compensate harmonic currents generated in a power system. As non-linear loads increase gradually in industry fields, harmonic current generated In the electric power network system also increases. Harmonic current makes a power network current distorted and generates heat, vibration and noise In the power machinery, Many approaches have been applied to compensate harmonic currents generated in the power system. Among various control strategy, in this paper, a sliding mode controlled systems is designed and evaluated. This is a flywheel compensator based on secondary excitation of WRIM(wounded rotor induction motor) with SMC(sliding mode controller). The proposed system uses a flywheel as an energy storage device. The designed control scheme is verified through simulation.

We have developed an electromagnetic generator to bury in subcutaneous area or abdominal cavity of the birds. As we can't use a solar battery, it is extremely difficult to supply a power for subcutaneous implantation such as biosensors under the skin due to the darkness environment. We are aiming to test the antigen-antibody reaction to confirm an avian influenza. One solution is a very small generator with the electromagnetic induction coil. We attached the developed coil to chickens and pheasants and recorded the electric potential generated as the chicken walked and the pheasant flew. The electric potential generated with physical simulator is equal to or exceeds the 7 V peak-to-peak at maximum by 560/min of flapping of wings. Even if we account for the junction voltage of the diode (200 mV), efficient charging of the double-layer capacitor is possible with the voltage doubler rectifier. If we increase the voltage, other problems arise, including the high-voltage insulation of the double-layer capacitor. For this reason, we believe the power generated to be sufficient for subcutaneous area of birds. The efficiency, magnetic 2 mm in length and coil 15mm in length, if axial direction is rectified, the magnetic flux density given to the coil could calculated to 7.1 % and generated power average 0.47mW. The improvements in size and wire insulation are expected in the future.

We investigated the quench characteristics of meander line type resistive superconducting fault current limiters based on YBCO thin films grown on 2" diameter LaAlO$_3$ substrates. A gold layer was deposited onto the 0.4 ${\mu}$ m thick YBCO film to disperse the heat generated at hot spots, prior to patterning into 1 mm wide meander lines by photolithography. The limiters were tested with simulated fault currents of various amplitudes. The quench started at 10 A and was completed within 1 msec at the fault current of 65 A$_{peak}$. The dynamic quench characteristics were explained based on the heat conduction within the film and the heat transfer between the film and the surrounding liquid nitrogen. The heat transfer coefficient per unit area was estimated to be 3.0 W/cm$^2$K.

We fabricated a resistive superconducting fault current limiter of two stripe meander type based on a YBCO film, and performed current limitation experiments. In order to disperse the heat generated at hot spots in the YBCO film the film was coated with a gold shunt layer. At $0^{\circ}$ fault angle the minimum quench current was $9.6 A_{peak}$(meander line cross section: $5{\times}10^{-6}cm^2$) and the fast quench time was 0.63 msec. The resistance of the limiter continued to increase for three cycles due to heat generation in the gold layer and was stabilized afterwards. At $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ the fast quench time were 0.56 msec and 0.26 msec, respectively. The quench time is believed to be reduced because faults occurred when the current was increasing or was at the peak value. With the limiter we could effectively limit the fault current about 1/5 times right after the fault and about 1/8.5 times three cycles after.

This paper presents a database design for power system operational planning system of the integrated system for power system operational planning and analysis that will be more economical and stable of power system operation. An alias of the integrated system is Highly Integrated Total Energy System(HITES). We first describe the requirements for the Power System Planning System of HTES. Database design is processed in two phases(conceptual design and physical design), and CDM(Conceptual Data Model) and PDM(Physical Data Model) are generated by Powerdesigner(CASE tool for database design). In the future, the constructed database needs to be tested and tuning.

The thermal energy from nuclear fission is transferred to the steam generator which is a kind of a large heat exchanger. After the feedwater is injected into the steam generator and absorbs the thermal energy, it is converted into the steam. This steam goes into the turbine. The balance between the generated energy and the consumed energy is required for the nuclear power plant to be stable. For the purpose of which, the feed water, a parameter for energy transfer, should be controlled in stability. Usually, the nuclear power plants are operated in base load in the view of power system for the stability of fission system. Therefore, though there will be almost no unbalance, there can be some instability from unbalance in case of startup/shutdown or disturbance. In this case, the controllability of feedwater pump is very important for the quick recover of stability.

Recently developed radars use the solid-state power amplifier to amplify the RF signal. The stability of RF signal directly depends on that of the electric power. So the stable and reliable electric power should be needed. When the electric power switch is tuned on for the first time in order to operate the radar system, the in-rush current is generated because of the capacitive characteristic. The excess in-rush current breaks the element. Therefore, the analysis about the in-rush current to design the electric power system is necessary. In this paper, modeling and simulation on the whole power system is carried out and the necessity of limiting the in-rush current is verified. After the analysis, the circuit to limit the in-rush current is designed and examined to verify the analysis. The circuit is good enough to limit the in-rush current.

This paper describes two different systems which can compensate harmonic currents generated in a power system. As non-linear loads increase gradually in industry fields, harmonic current generated in the electric power network system also increases. Harmonic current makes a power network current distorted and generates heat, vibration and noise in the power machinery. Many approaches have been applied to compensate harmonic currents generated in the power system. Among various approaches, in this paper, two kinds are compared and evaluated. They are flywheel compensators bases on secondary excitation of WRIM(wounded rotor induction motor) and SCIM(squirrel cage induction motor). Both systems have a common structure. They use a flywheel as an energy storage device and use PWM inverters. The main differences are the size and rating of the converter used.
