The new type of prefabricated joint for 161kV XLPE cable have been developed. we, LG Cable & Machinery Ltd., made an huge contract with an foreign country's Power company for the supply of cable and accessories, the training of jointing and termination work to local personnel, technical assistance by joint venture and the supervision of installation and commissioning. By the end of 1997, one of several routes under the contract successfully finished being constructed and specially tested on site. In operation, now this underground transmission line proves well the reliability and efficiency of prefabricated joint and termination applied first time in foreign country.

Signaling system, for which ensuring safe train operation, must be a fail-safe system with higher reliability and safety. TCS has made significant improvements both on signaling system, from relay based ground signaling system to computer based on-board system, and on driving mode, form low speed and low density driving to TCS supporting high speed and high density driving. In addition, TCS has been applied to rolling stock with a wide variety of context according to the characteristics of rolling stock or railway infrastructure. In this paper, therefore, we confirmed the basic concept of ATC system and analyzed its development process in technology context via referencing international cases and ATC systems introduced and applied in Korea. Based on those analyses, we suggested the new TCS development strategy for its suitable application to high speed line, conventional line and metro, and we also provided technical considerations related to TCS application.

This study proposes a novel islanding detection method for distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems with multi-inverters based on a combination of the power line carrier communication and Sandia frequency shift islanding detection methods. A parameter design method is provided for the novel scheme. On the basis of the designed parameters, the effect of frequency measurement errors and grid line impedance on the islanding detection performance of PV systems is analyzed. Experimental results show that the theoretical analysis is correct and that the novel method with the designed parameters has little effect on the power quality of the inverter output current. Non-detection zones are not observed, and a high degree of reliability is achieved. Moreover, the proposed islanding detection method is suitable for distributed PV systems with multi-inverters.

It has little possibility that a cable causes any problem in electric power facilities. But when a trouble occurs in cable or cable joint, the damage is very severe. The main causes of the cable defections are bad cable making procedure, poor cable operation and deterioration according to the years. There are some cases to have potential problems due to many cable connection points, because of short length of cable, especially in 154㎸ system. In this study, novel method to measure partial discharge in cable joints is proposed and the effectiveness and the reliability of the proposed method is shown through experiment results of field.

In this paper, a home network gateway has been developed, which supports the ZigBee and power line communication methods at the same time. A conversion protocol for smooth information exchange between ZigBee module and power line communication module have been implemented on the gateway, and the performance and reliability of the gateway have been evaluated as good through field tests. The gateway can support various home networks.

Switching of the transmission lines(T/L) is one of the ways for suppressing the short circuit capacity. This paper presents the extended optimal power flow(OPF) to the problem of selecting the T/Ls to be open. The constraints of the short circuit currents within limits are added to the inequalities of OPF. Also, the overload on the other lines due to switching of T/Ls is avoided by the linearized inequalities. The number of the open lines can be minimized by incorporating into the objective function of OPF in order to maintain reliability. The method of an effective calculation of the extended OPF is also proposed in this paper, which makes the two parts decoupled. The one concerning the generation dispatch is solved in the first place by the conventional method. Secondly, the other concerning the line-switching is optimized by the proposed formulation.

The parallel operation system of UPS is used to increase reliability of power source at critical load. But parallel UPS system has a few defects, impedance is different from each other and circulating current occurs between UPSs, due to line impedance and parameter variation, though controlled by the same synchronization signal. According to such characteristic of parallel UPS, balanced load-sharing control is the most important technique in parallel UPS operation. In this paper, a novel power deviation compensation algorithm is proposed. it is composed of voltage controller to compensate power deviation that be calculated by using active and reactive current deviation between inverters on synchronous d-q reference frame.

To realize a high integrated flash memory utilizing SONOS memory devices, the NOR type ITC(one Transistor Cell) SONOS flash arrays are fabricated and characterized. This SONOS flash arrays with the common source lines are designed and fabricated by conventional 0.35$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS process. The thickness of ONO for memory cells is tunnel oxide of 34${\AA}$, nitride of 73${\AA}$ and blocking oxide of 34${\AA}$ . To investigate operating characteristics, CHEI(Channel Hot Electron Injection) method and bit line method are selected as the program and 4he erase operation, respectively. The disturbance characteristics ,according to the program/erase/read cycling are also examined. The degradation characteristics are investigated and then the reliability of SONOS flash memory is guaranteed.

The vision processing system for mobile robots requires real time processing and reliability for the purpose of safe navigation. But, general types of vision systems are not appropriate owing to the correspondence problem which correlates the points out of two images. To determine the obstacle area, we use correspondences of line segments between two perspective images sequentially acquired by camera. To simplify the correspondence, the matching of line segments are performed in the navigation space, based on the assumption that mobile robot should be navigated in the flat surface and the motion of mobile robot between two frames should be approximately known.

Probabilistic Load Flow(PLF) solution based on the method of moments is used for security assessment of bus voltages in power systems. Bus voltages, line currents, line admittances, generated real and reactive power, and bus loads are treated as complex random variables. These complex random variables are known in terms of probability density functions(PDF). Also, expressions for the convolutions of complex random variables in terms of moments and cumulants have been derived. Proposed PLF solution using the method of moments is fast, because the process of convolution of various complex random variables is performed in moment and cumulant domain. Therefore, the method is applied to security assessment of power systems in this paper. Finally, system operator also can be used information of security assessment to improve reliability of power systems.
