We investigated current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type high-Tc superconcting fault current limiter(HTSC-FCL) according to fault angles. The Flux-lock type HTSC-FCL consists of primary and the secondary copper coils that are wound in parallel each other through the iron core and YBCO thin flim. In this paper, the current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL according to fault angles in case of the subtractive and additive polarity windings were compared and analyzed. From the results, the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL could limit more quickly fault current as the fault angles increased irrespective of the fault angles. On the other hand, the initial power burden of HTSC element after a fault happened increased as the fault angles increased. In addition, it was confirmed that the resistance of flux-lock type HTSC-FCL in case of subtractive polarity winding was more increased than that of additive polarity winding and that the peak current of fault current in case of subtractive polarity winding was larger than that of the additive polarity winding case.

Magnetic gears have the same characteristics as mechanical gears, and each rotor does not come in contact, which is advantageous over mechanical gears in friction noise, heat generation, and maintenance. In addition, when the rotor using the coil-winding is applied, it is possible to control the output of the gear as well as to cut off its own drive in the emergency situation and to change its gear ratio. So the application of the magnetic gear is infinite. However, when the coil-winding rotor is used, cogging torque due to the attraction force between the permanent magnet and the iron core appears, which leads to an increase in the torque ripple component causing the rotor vibration. Therefore, in this paper, various shapes of the coil-winding rotor are analyzed to reduce the torque ripple of the rotor, and the optimum shape for reducing the torque ripple of the magnetic gear is presented.

Purpose: This study evaluated the changes in nutritional status based on quality of life (QoL) item-level analysis to determine whether individual QoL responses might facilitate personal clinical impact. Materials and Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated QoL data obtained by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and Quality of Life Questionnaire-Stomach (QLQ-STO22) as well as metabolic-nutritional data obtained by bioelectrical impedance analysis and blood tests. Patients were assessed preoperatively and at the 5-year follow-up. QoL was analyzed at the level of the constituent items. The patients were categorized into vulnerable and non-vulnerable QoL groups for each scale based on their responses to the QoL items and changes in the metabolic-nutritional indices were compared. Results: Multiple shortcomings in the metabolic-nutritional indices were observed in the vulnerable groups for nausea/vomiting (waist-hip ratio, degree of obesity), dyspnea (hemoglobin, iron), constipation (body fat mass, percent body fat), dysphagia (body fat mass, percent body fat), reflux (body weight, hemoglobin), dry mouth (percent body fat, waist-hip ratio), and taste (body weight, total body water, soft lean mass, body fat mass). The shortcomings in a single index were observed in the vulnerable groups for emotional functioning and pain (EORTC QLQ-C30) and for eating restrictions (EORTC QLQ-STO22). Conclusions: Long-term postoperative QoL deterioration in emotional functioning, nausea/vomiting, pain, dyspnea, constipation, dysphagia, reflux, eating restrictions, dry mouth, and taste were associated with nutritional shortcomings. QoL item-level analysis, instead of scale-level analysis, may help to facilitate personalized treatment for individual QoL respondents.

We investigated the current limiting and the recovery characteristics of a flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) according to the winding directions. The flux-lock type SFCL consists of two coils. The primary coil was wound in parallel to the secondary coil through an Iron core, and the secondary coil was connected with the superconducting element in series. We have changed the winding direction of coils to compare the resistive type SFCL with the flux-lock type SFCL. The current limiting and the recovery characteristics were dependent on the winding direction. The quenching time in the additive polarity winding was faster than that of the subtractive polarity winding or the resistivity type. A consumed energy in a superconducting element was represented as $W= VIt=I^2Rt$. We found that there was a difference in the consumed energies in accordance with winding types because of differences in voltages imposed on a superconducting element in accordance with a winding direction.

By computer simulation, the pattern of magnetic field distribution on the Nb-foil of a rotating flux type superconducting power supply has been calculated. Using the results, the current pumping rate has been calculated and compared with the results obtained by the experiment. The experiment has been executed with small-size flux-rump in the environment of LN2 and LHe in order to compare the pattern of magnetic filed in the superconducting state and in the normal state. Five hall-sensor was located on the center, right side, left-side, upper side, lower side of the Nb-foil in order to obtain more accurate pattern of the magnetic field generated by rotating pole. In the simulation, the effects of the excitation-magnet and the iron core located at the inner-side and circumference of the magnet have been considered. By comparing the data from the experiment and the results from the simulation, the size of normal spot estimated. At the same time, by calculating the linkage flux, the current-pumping-rate has been obtained. Consequently, the results obtained from experiment and simulation coincided as expected.

The result of design and Partial fabrication of a 1 MVA single phase high temperature superconducting(HTS) transformer for power distributions are presented in this paper. The HTS windings are wound as double pancake windings which have advantages of uniform distribution of high voltage over the windings. the rated primary and secondary voltages are 22.9 kV and 6.6 kV respectively. Four HTS tapes are wound in parallel for secondary windings considering the rated currents of the transformer. The HTS windings will be cooled down to 65 K by natural convection of sub-cooled liquid nitrogen using a single-staged GM-cryocooler in order to make the stability of the HTS windings better. The iron core is designed as shell type and isolated from the liquid nitrogen by an FRP cryostat which have a room temperature bore. After the complete fabrication of the total HTS transformer system, performance test of the transformer will be carried out.

Superconducting fault current(SFCLs) are expected to improve not only reliability but also stability of real power systems. The analysis on the single line-to-ground fault current of the integrated three phase flux-lock type SFCL, which consists of three flux-lock reactor wound on an iron core in each single phase and three YBCO thin films, was investigated in current limiting operating characteristics. We compared additive polarity winding with the subtractive one in the flux lock reactor. Its turns ratio each phase between the primary and the secondary coils is 63:42. When a single line-to-ground fault occurred in any phase, the peak value of line current in the fault phase of the additive polarity winding increased up to 31.44[A] during first-half cycle. On the other hand, the peak value in the subtractive polarity winding increased up to 81.77[A] under the same conditions. This is because the current flow between the primary and the secondary windings becomes to be additive or subtractive in each winding direction. We confirmed that the current limiting behavior in the additive polarity winding was more effective for a single-line-to ground fault.

Cost reduction requires lowering number of power devices used in the converter driving SRM. This is quite feasible in SRM drive systems than in other drive systems. This paper deals with analysis and simulation of a novel two phase SRM. A novel two phase SRM has high performance, self-starling capability, high efficiency, and low manufacturing cost. Additionally, the stator back iron does not experience any flux reversal as the flux is in the same direction whether phase A or B is excited leading to a greater reduction in core losses. The magnetic analysis and design considerations of the novel two phase SRM have been obtained by the finite element analysis (FEM).

Optical current sensor and optical voltage sensor modules were designed and fabricated to improve measurement error and insulation in automatic power distributor By using Faraday effect, optical current sensor with an $\alpha$-iron core was designed and fabricated to minimize current induction of the other phase and was optimized to maintain linearity. Optical voltage sensor was fabricated owing to the pockets effect and adopted spatial electric field type because of small room in an automatic power distributor. To connect a distributor with an external terminal for signal processing, optical multi connector was designed, fabricated and tested for coupling loss and gas leakage. The linearity of optical current sensor for applied current maintains variation of smaller than 2.5% for applied current range from 20A to 700A. The linearity of optical voltage sensor was smaller than 1% for appling voltage from 6.6kV to 19.8kV. Since the measured characteristics are good, these devices can be considered as being applicable in practice.

Ferroresonance is a non-linear vibrational phenomenon that is generated by the electrical interaction of the inductance component with the capacitor component of a certain capacitance as the device of the inductance component such as a transformer is saturated due to the degradation, the waveform distortion of current and voltage, and the oscillation of overcurrent and overvoltage in a system. Recently, ferroresonance was generated from the waveform distortion of current and voltage, or the overvoltage or undervoltage phenomenon caused by the nature of an electrical power system and design technology of the transformer in the three phase transformer system. Hence, in general, ferroresonance analyzed by converting to the LC equivalent circuit. However, in general, the aforementioned analytical method only applies to the resonance phenomenon that is generated by the interaction of the capacitance of bussbar and grounding, and switching as the capacitor component with PT and the transformer as the inductance component in a system. Subsequently, the condition where ferroresonance was generated since overvoltage was supplied as line voltage to the phase voltage and thus the iron core is saturated due to the interconnection between grounded and ungrounded systems could not be analyzed when single phase PT was connected in a ${\Delta}$/Y connection system. In this study, voltage swell in the configuration of grounded circuit of a step-up transformer with the ${\Delta}-{\Delta}$ connection linked to PT for control power and the ferroresonance generated by overvoltage when the line voltage of the ${\Delta}-{\Delta}$ connection was connected to the phase voltage of the grounded Y-Y connection were analyzed using PSCAD / EMTDC through the failure case of the transformer caused by ferroresonance in the system with the ${\Delta}-{\Delta}$/Y-Y connection, and subsequently, the preventive measure of ferroresonance was proposed.
