According to IAEA regulations, a transportation package of radioactive material should perform its intended function of containing the radioactive contents after the drop test, which is one of hypothetical accident conditions. Impact limiters attached to a transport cask absorb the most of impact energy. So, it is appreciated to determine properly the shape, size and material of impact limiters. A material data needed in this determination is a dynamic one. In this study, several materials considered as those of impact limiters were tested by a drop weight facility to acquire dynamic material characteristics data. Impact absorbing volume of the impact limiter was derived mathematically for each drop condition. A size optimization of impact limiter was conducted. The derived impact absorbing volumes were applied as constraints. These volumes should be less than critical volumes generated based on the dynamic material characteristics. The derived procedure to decide the shape of impact limiter can be useful at the preliminary design stage when the transportation package's outline is roughly determined and applied as input value.

This paper describes sheath voltage limiter(SVL) transient characteristics by switching overvoltage considering single point bonding in underground transmission cables. The crossbonding system is generally used for grounding methods of underground transmission system. However, the single point bonding system is used in selective area which is difficult to consist of crossbonding major section. The sheath voltage limiters are connected between joints in the single point bonding. Specially, the high overvoltage might be generated in that section as well as the aging of sheath voltage limiter might be progressed by various electrical stress including lightning overvoltage, switching overvoltage and power frequency overvoltage. Therefore, in this paper, the switching overvoltage characteristics in underground cables are firstly analysed using EMTP simulation. Then, the switching overvoltage of sheath voltage limiter is also studied in single point bonding. Finally, the reduction method of sheath voltage limiter switching overvoltage is proposed by various simulation studies including circuit breaker operating order.

This paper deals with the design and implementation of a limiter, which is a key component of the Ku-band radar system. The limiter design with the multi-pin diode switch was complemented by wideband signal attenuation, and realized the physical implementation. In the test result of implemented limiter, when the pin diode switch is all off, it is possible to transmit the incoming signal without distortion. Also when the pin diode switch is turned on sequentially, the input signal is attenuated about 20dB or more step by step. Finally when all of them were turned on, attenuation about 50dB or more were measured for a wide bandwidth(1000MHz) in Ku-band.

In this paper an advanced PLL strategy suitable to UPS, compared with conventional PLL strategy using the positive sequence component extracted from source voltages, is suggested. Frequency limiter and anti-windup are added to conventional PI controller in suggested PLL strategy. Basic operational principle of suggested PLL is same as that of conventional PLL, but the difference between two strategies is that the suggested PLL can limit the change of frequency in constant range because of inclusion of frequency limiter. Compute. simulation was carried fer the DVR(dynamic voltage restorer) compensating voltage to examine the difference between conventional PLL strategy and the suggested PLL strategy limiting frequency. And the results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested PLL strategy for UPS.

In this paper, current limiter using a magnetic switching which is based on magnetic flux change in the case of fault is proposed. This current limiter consists of iron-core and three parts of coils. One is the primary coil connected to the power system. Another is the secondary coil wound to the opposite direction of the primary coil's winding. The other is the secondary of the secondary coil which is a movable copper plate winding and located below the secondary coil. In the normal state, the magnetic flux produced in the primary and secondary coils flows to the opposite directions each other and becomes to be canceled out. Therefore the voltages induced between the coils are zero. In the case of a fault, at the moment of a fault occurrence recognition, the switch connected to a secondary coil is opened and the secondary of the secondary coil is pulled out to the outside of the iron-core. Then, magnetic flux becomes to flow through the iron-core. Accordingly, the voltage is induced between the both ends of the primary coil and makes the current reduced. Therefore it is possible to cut off the circuit breaker easily with the proposed current limiter. This paper analyzes the current limiting effects and the detailed results are given.

All mechanical systems have saturation nonlinearity in actuators or in final control elements. When controllers have integral action, reset windup can cause instability as well as make the system performance unsatisfactory. In this study, an intelligent limiter which needs no tuning of parameters is tested with the PDF controller used for control of a second order plant. This paper presents analysis of the stability of the system using the describing function method and the Nyquist stability theorem. The improvement of the system performance by the limiter is illustrated by computer simulations.

When a saturating control system has integral action, reset windup can cause instability as well as make the system performance unsatisfactory. An antirset-windup (ARW) limiter has been suggested to improve the stability and performance. It has been implemented with analog circuits and tested by simulations. This paper presents the stability condition of a double-integrator plant having the state feedback plus integral-action controller with the ARW limiter by using both Liapunov's second method and graphical method together.

According to the rapid growth of transmission power, fault current level approaches to the maximum capacity of circuit breaker. This paper has been proposed a superconducting current limiter (SCL) to reduce the fault current to appropriate level. Superconductor for SCL has been examined and design criterion of each triggering method has been shown. Superconducting current limiter was fabricated using thin film and switching characteristics were shown, where thermal and current triggering were adopted.

Based on the monotonicity preserving concept, a new limiter, which is applicable to an arbitrary grid system, is developed. This new limiter preserves accuracy and monotonicity on an arbitrary grid system and it is also applicable to spectral volume concept. Numerical experiments for 1-D and 2-D flow show the characteristics of the new limiter.

The fault current has increased due to the large power demand in power distribution system and network distribution system. To protect the power system effectively from the increased fault current, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been notified. However, the conventional SFCL has some problems such as cost, operation, recovery, loss. To solve some problems, the hybrid superconducting fault current limiter using the fast switch was proposed. However, hybrid SFCL also has a problem that is protection coordination in power distribution system with hybrid SFCL. In this paper, the fault current limiting characteristics of hybrid SFCL with first half cycle non-limiting operation according to the fault angle, the resistance of superconducting element, and the magnitude of Current Limit Resistor (CLR) which are the components of hybrid SFCL were analyzed through the experiments.
