This paper proposes a novel scheme which can compensate the common-mode voltage (CMV) for five-level active neutralpoint clamped (5L-ANPC) inverters, which is based on modifying the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) and adding an auxiliary leg to the inverter. For the modified SVPWM, only the 55 voltage vectors producing low CMV values among the 125 possible voltage vectors are utilized, which varies over the three voltage levels of $-V_{dc}/12$, 0 V, and $V_{dc}/12$. In addition, the compensating voltage, which is injected into the 5L-ANPC inverter system to cancel the remaining CVM through a common-mode transformer (CMT) is generated by the additional NPC leg. By the proposed method, the CMV of the inverter is fully eliminated, while the utilization of the DC-link voltage is not decreased at all. Furthermore, all of the DC-link and flying capacitor voltages of the inverter are well controlled. Simulation and experimental results have verified the validity of the proposed scheme.

Higher current-rating and improved thermal performance are being sought for existing medium-voltage vacuum circuit breakers(VCB) in order to meet market needs which require to be compact and downsized. In this paper, thermal performance of medium voltage vacuum circuit breaker was investigated through experiments and numerical analysis. We changed several major parameters of current-rating and heat sink affecting on thermal behaviors in the breaker and observed the results. To predict the temperature distribution in complex three-dimensional (3-D) VCB components and gas, the commercial package was used to simulate conjugate heat transfer. Although some assumptions and simplifications were introduced to simulate the model, results from the computational model were in good agreement with actual temperature rise measurements obtained from experiments.

This paper presents an improved approach towards reducing the switching loss of insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) for a medium-capacity-class power conditioning system (PCS). In order to improve the switching performance, the switching operation is analyzed, and based on this analysis, an improved switching method that reduces the switching time and switching loss is proposed. Compared to a conventional gate drive scheme, the switching loss, switching time, and delay are improved in the proposed gate driving method. The performance of the proposed gate driving method is verified through several experiments.

This paper describes the characteristics of Pt microheater using aluminum oxide films as medium layer and its application to flow sensors. Pt microheater have heating temperature of $390^{\circ}C$ at heating power of 1.2 W. Output voltages of flow sensors which were fabricated by integrating sensing-part with heating-part increase as gas flow rate and its conductivity increase. At $O_2$ flow rate of 2000 sccm, heating power of 0.8 W, output voltage of flow sensor is 101 mV under bridge-applied voltage of 5 V.

In this paper, we studied the emissive electric field due to the communication signal and the noise in medium voltage power-line. There are many types of conductive noise in power-line channel, which gives rise to radiation. And if the DMT carrier signal was excited, the current by this term was added to the current by noise and, generate radiation. We calculated input impedance by means of signal input network model of medium voltage power-line channel for calculating these currents. We calculated currents by input impedance and, calculated the emissive electric field by this calculated currents. From the measurement results, we knew that the measured results are very similar to the calculated results and if the input signal power level was higher than -40 dBm, the emissive electric field exceeds FCC radiation limit level 69.5 dB$\mu$V/m.

IGCTs have established themselves as the power semiconductor of choice at medium voltage levels within the last few years because of their low conduction and switching losses. The trade-off between these losses can be adjusted by various lifetime control techniques and the growing demand for these devices is driving the need for standard types to cover such applications as Static Circuit Breakers (low on-state) and Medium Voltage Drives (low switching losses). The additional demands of Traction (low operating temperatures) and Current Source Inverters (symmetric blocking) would normally result in conflicting demands on the semiconductor. This paper will outline how a range of power devices can meet these needs with a limited number of wafers and gate units. Some of the key differences between IGCTs and IGBTs will be explained and the outlook for device improvements will be discussed.

The study about three-phase synthetic making test using DC power has been performed in order to increase the making test capacity on Vacuum Circuit Breaker. And, it made possible to solve the limitations that short-circuit testing facilities can not fulfill the testing requirements of VCB exceeding three-phase 36[kV] 31.5[kA]. By using DC power and high speed spark-gap switch, this method made the equivalence with the pre-arc that occurred during the making process under the fault condition of power system. As results, KERI(Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute) could have capacity to carry out type test for VCB under three-phase 52[kV] 40[kV], which satisfies the IEC Standard.

본 논문은 기계적 스위치와 반도체 스위치를 병렬로 연결한 하이브리드 스위치에 관한 것이다. 제안된 하이브리드 스위치에서 정상상태 동작은 기계적 스위치에 의해 이루어지며 반도체 스위치는 on/off 전환시에만 동작하므로, 반도체 스위치를 위한 냉각 수단이 필요없게 된다. 반도체 스위치에 대한 3가지 제어 방법을 제시하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 비교하였다. 또한, 5개의 IGBT가 병렬로 연결되고 다시 이것이 20개 직렬 연결된 정격 11kV(RMS)/125A인 반도체 ac 스위치를 설계 제작하였으며, 기본적인 실험 결과가 제시되었다.

벼의 종자로부터 embryogenic callus를 유도하고 이로부터 개체로의 재분화를 유도하였으며, embroyogenic cell suspension culture를 통하여, 이로부터 원형질체를 분리, 배양하여 embryogenic callus를 형성하였다. 또한, 분리된 원형질체를 electroporation하였을 때 생존율(viability)에 미치는 여러 요인들을 조사하였다. 원형질체의 생존율은 voltage와 capactiance가 증가할수록 감소를 보였으며, HBM buffer에서 $4^{\circ}C$로 electroporation 하였을 때 생존율에 보다 효과적이었다.
