AMR(Automatic Meter Reading)/AMI(Advanced Metering Infrastructure) is actively deployed all over the world. efficient, economical, stable and reliable system need to push forward the AMR/AMI business, so various researchs are in progress. In electric power system of domestic, a transformer is connected average twenty to thirty households and PLC is possible to communication within household connected same transformer. So if server and data concentrator unit(DCU) share circuit line through communication between transformers, communication network is able to efficient. Therefore we design new communication method between DCUs and test it and demonstrate the performance.

The inductive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCLJ limits the fault current with its dc reactor. To fabricate the optimal dc reactor for inductive SFCL, several design and manufacturing technologies are necessary. In this paper, the manufacturing technology for dc reactor and cryogenic cooling method are described in detail. GM-cryocooler was used enlarge the critical current of dc reactor by cooling down the temperature of dc reactor about 20 K. Moreover, the results of short circuit test were described. Finally, the thermal characteristics of conduction-cooled system were discussed and then, sub-cooled nitrogen system was proposed to enhance the thermal stability of dc reactor.

We fabricated and tested a resistive superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) operated at 3.8 ㎸ based on YBCO thin films. The SFCL was composed of 7 components connected in series. Each component was designed to be capable of current limiting at 600 V, and has a SiC shunt resistor ( $R_{s}$) of 40 Ω in Parallel. Short circuit tests were carried out fur 0 and 90 degree faults lasting fur 5 cycles. The test results showed that the 7 components were quenched simultaneously under the safe quenches and evenly shared the applied voltage. The SFCL successfully suppressed the fault currents below 94 $A_{peak}$ within the quarter cycle after fault.t.t.

The assessment of the condition of a transformer winding which is suspected of having suffered short circuit damage can be difficult. Conventional test such as winding resistance, magnetisation current or insulation resistance will only detect damage if a permanent electrical fault exists. Visual inspection of windings necessitates the removal of oil and in many cases only a very small proportion of the winding can be seen. We describe the characteristics. As the front rise time of recurrent-surge generator pulse less than 1000ns and the peak value of pulse is about 500V, we have the good results of detecting winding deformation in the LVI test of transformers.

This paper describes the test results of the single phase 3kVA high temperature superconducting power trans-former. The tapes are made with Bi-2223 and have silver alloy as the matrix. Four double pancake windings are used in total. Among them two double pancake windings are connected in series for high voltage winding and two double pancake windings are connected in parallel for low voltage winding. The rated voltages of each winding are 220/110 V. Fundamental characteristics are obtained through short circuit and no load tests. The over load capability and characteristics are investigated.

This paper describes the testing facility to demonstrate the performance of the distribution class circuit breakers and switchgears and the testing methods. The field-test evaluation system consists of two parts. One is the distribution system for simulation of the condition on interruption mode of switches which are installed in the system and tested by the AFG(Artificial Fault Generator) and the thunderbolt generator just like in the real field. The other is a laboratory for confirmation or the important characteristics regarding to the insulation, gas, environment durability of equipment. For the fatal failure mode, a FMEA(Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) technique which is a kind of a structural analysis to consider a counter-plan was emploved.

This paper describes a gate driver that operates numerous semiconductor switch in the solide-state pulsed power modulator. the proposed gate driver is designed to receive both the isolated drive-power and the on/off pulse signals through the transformer. Moreover, the IGBT-switch can be quickly turned off by adding protection circuit. Therefore it protects the IGBT-switch from the arc condition that frequently occurs in high-voltage pulse application. To comprehend operating characteristic of each IGBT-switch in pulse output condition, the device consisting of a high efficiency soft-switching capacitor charger and two series stacking IGBT-switch is developed. Finally, the relability of the proposed gate driver and the device for its test are proved through PSpice simulation and experiments.

Watertight 25.8 kV/600 A/12.5 kA fault current limiters (FCLs) have successfully installed in five areas (Incheon, Seoul, Gyeong-gi, Daejeon, Suwon) on KEPCO power distribution line for the purpose of commercial demonstrations. The fault current limiting operation of this FCL, which includes functions of sensing, commutation, and reduction of fault currents, is perfectly completed within 1 cycle immediately after fault occurs. The performance of FCL was verified by short circuit test, impedance test, insulation test, temperature-rise test, and control test, etc at PT&T in LS industrial systems, which is the official certification institute in Korea. In 2013, and also the FCL field test was performed in order to test the protection coordination between conventional relays and FCL, on the 1.5 kA and 5.0 kA faults, which were made by connecting the Artificial Fault Generator (AFG) to the distribution line in test grid at KEPCO Power Testing Center. The next step of this project is to check the FCL conditions caused by real external environment, and acquire the various data from five regions installed with FCL. In this paper, we intend to explain the FCL specifications and performance characteristics, and check the expected effect by application of FCL to power distribution line based on the power system analysis of an application site.

Lithium-ion batteries are used in many fields due to their high energy density, fast charging conditions, and long cycle life. However, overcharging, over-discharging, physical damage, and use of lithium-ion batteries at high temperatures can reduce battery life and cause damage to people due to fire or explosion due to damage to the protection circuit. In order to reduce the risk of these batteries and improve battery performance, the characteristics of the charging and discharging process must be analyzed and understood. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the charging and discharging characteristics of lithium-ion batteries using a battery charger and discharger and simulator to reduce the risk of loss of life due to overcharge and overdischarge, as well as casualties from fire and explosion due to damage to the protection circuit.
