Recently, the common grounding systems are adapted in most large structures. Since the ground resistance is insufficient to evaluate the performance of grounding systems, it is needed to measure grounding impedance. Even though the methods of measuring grounding impedance of large grounding systems are presented in IEEE standard 81.2, but they have not been described in detail. In this paper, we present the accurate method of measuring grounding impedance based on the revised fall-of-potential method and measurement errors due to earth mutual resistance and ac mutual coupling depending on locating test electrodes at remote earth were examined for the 15[m]$\times$15[m] grounding grid. As a result, the measurement error due to earth mutual resistance is decreased when the distance to auxiliary electrodes increased. To get rid of measurement errors due to mutual coupling, the potential lead should be installed at a right angle to the current lead. When the angle between the potential and the current leads is an acute angle or an obtuse angle, the mutual couple voltage is positive or negative, respectively. Generally, the measurement errors due to mutual coupling with an obtuse angle route are lower than those with an acute angle route.

This study analyzes the resonance characteristics caused by the mutual interference between LCL filters and the grid impedance under the parallel operation of the grid-connected inverter using the LCL filter. These characteristics are verified through simulation and experiment. Two inverters are used to connect to the grid in parallel, and the system parameters, including the LCL filter, are set to the same conditions. In the case of inverters running in parallel at the point of common coupling, the presence of grid impedance causes mutual interference between the LCL filters of each inverter, and the deviation of the filter resonance frequency is analyzed to understand the parallel inverter. The correlation between the number of devices and the size of grid impedance is simulated by PSIM and verified by MATLAB. By connecting the real-time digital simulator Typhoon HILS to the DSP 28377 control board, the mutual interference characteristics are tested under the condition of two inverters running in parallel. The experimental and analysis results are the same, indicating the validity of the analysis.

In this paper, the digital distance relay of transmission lines under fault conditions is discussed. Distance relay is used to protect transmission lines. The principle of distance relay is well-known ; the impedance measured by a relay is Proportional to the distance from the relay to the fault. Hence, by measuring the impedance, it can be determined whether the line is faulted or not. Unfortunately, the measurement of the fault distance is distorted by Mutual Coupling. To implement more reliable and practical digital distance relay, the mutual coupling effect has to be considered.

Although the radiation impedance of a transducer with a regular square surface has been studied by many researchers, the formulas are still very complicated, which results in long computation time and low accuracy. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for the calculation of acoustic radiation impedance in which the regular square vibrating surface of a transducer is divided into small elements and duplicate calculations are eliminated in the process of calculating mutual effects of the elements. Using this algorithm, shorter computation time and higher accuracy of results can be obtained. As a demonstration, the self and the mutual radiation impedance of transducers with a regular square surface are calculated and the accuracy of the results is evaluated.

The mutual radiation impedance was calculated using the spatial convolution in the cylindrical structure. The Cartesian coordinate was transformed into the cylindrical coordinate using the spatial convolution for the cylindrical array structure. This method cannot consider the cylindrical baffle, but can reduce the computation time. The error for not considering the cylindrical baffle was analyzed by the comparison of the spatial convolution method with the quadruple integration method in the cylindrical structure. The mutual radiation resistance in the cylindrical structure was compared with the one in the planar baffle. Based on two kinds of the comparison, we presented the error of the suggesting method in this paper, confirming that the spatial convolution method could be applied to compute the mutual radiation impedance in the cylindrical structure at certain conditions.

Authors have studied characteristics evalution on semianechoic chamber. And authors also find that in case of low frequencies like from 30MHz to 100MHz there are big differencies between the calculated and the measured site attenuation in semianechoic chamber made with ferrite grid. This is on account of not being considered the mutual coupling effects between two antennas. Accordingly Authors calculated site attenuation due to mutual coupling effects and compared the measured site attenuation with the calculated site attenuation with mutual coupling correction. As a result good agreement between site attenuation, measured or calculated is obtained.

In this work, signal transmission properties of SATA connector have been improved using its differential impedance calculation and its design revision to closer impedance matching. Using 3 dimensional electromagnetic field simulator, the differential mode S-parameter was calculated to investigate its signal fidelity. The differential impedance is calculated from the equation of the odd mode impedance with inductance, capacitance, mutual inductance, and mutual capacitance. The differential impedance of SATA connector was calculated to be $107.3{\Omega}$ and did not meet the design specification with $100{\Omega}{\pm}5%$. In order to achieve its impedance range and improve its signal transmission properties, SATA connector's design has been revised with two different directions and analyzed through the calculation of differential impedance, differential reflection loss, and differential insertion loss.

In these days, the common grounding systems are adapted in most large structures. In order to evaluate the performance of grounding system, it is needed to measure ground impedance. Measuring methods of ground impedance for a large scale grounding systems have not been yet presented in detail. In this paper, we analyze earth mutual resistance and mutual coupling of $15{\times}15m$ grounding grid in different arrangements of auxiliary electrode. As a results, the auxiliary electrodes are installed where the error rate due to earth mutual resistance is less than 5%. Also, the potential lead is installed at obtuse angle from the current lead and the overlapped length between potential lead and grounding grid are minimized.

An accurate digital distance relaying algorithm which is immune to the combined reactance effect of the fault resistance and the load current is proposed. The algorithm can estimate adaptively the impedance to a fault point independent of the fault resistance. To compensate the apparent impedance, this algorithm uses iteratively the angle of an impedance deviation vector improved step by step. The impedance correction algorithm for ground faults uses a current distribution factor to compensate mutual coupling effect.
