In this paper, we analyze the voltage sag caused by reclosing on electric power distribution system. When a fault is on the electric system, a reclosing operation brings a voltage sag on the feeders which is supplied with a common substation transformer. By analyzing the fault wave-form measured in the field, it is showed that a voltage sag is in proportion to a fault current. Also, we propose an adaptive reclosing scheme. This scheme changes the number of reclosing as a function of the magnitude of a fault voltage and the fault type. As the proposed scheme is compared with conventional scheme in the side of voltage sag and permanent fault, it is verified that the proposed scheme is more effective than conventional scheme.

The proposed HIF detection rules are obtained by analysing the difference between normal condition and HIF condition.

This paper presents an optimization method which determines locations and size of capacitors simultaneously while minimizing power losses and improving voltage profile in radial distribution systems. Especially, the cost function associated with capacitor placement is considered as step function due to banks of standard discrete capacities.

Its efficiency is proved through the application in radial distribution systems.

This paper introduces wavelets and shows that they may be efficient and useful for the detection of general faults in power system. The wavelet transform of a signal consists in measuring the "similarity" between the signal and a set of translated and scaled versions of a "mother wavelet".

However, the performance of fault detection depend on used mother wavelet. In the present paper a comparative evaluation of different mother wavelets for low impedance fault detection is performed. The discussion is focused in well-known mother wavelet based wavelet transform. Several families of wavelets are used to analyse transient earth fault signals in a 345kV model system as generated by EMTP.

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.

The importance of dynamic stability of power system is increasing as the excitation system using static type are greatly enlarged. There are several types of PSS at Present, Elements of PSS consist of Notch filter, lead-lag filter, washout limiter which are variable. The existing power system has a difficulty in determining the optimal PSS parameters whenever PSS is installed. And it is recommended to retune PSS parameters periodically because system characteristics change due to aging. In this paper, intelligent PSS using fuzzy concept is introduced to get over difficulties mentioned above. The usefulness of fuzzy-type PSS was verified by applying FPSS to KEPCO power system. Generally, the voltage regulation deteriorates if conventional PSS is applied because supplementary signal is added into AVR summing point to damp Power oscillation.

The distance in load parameter space to the closest voltage collapse point provides the worst case power margin and the left eigenvector identifies the most effective direction to steer the system to maximize voltage stability under contingency. This paper presents the results of the comparative performance study of the algorithms, which are applicable to a large scale power system, for computing the closest saddle node bifurcation (CSNB) point. Dobson's iterative method converges with robustness. However the slow process of updating the load increasing direction makes the algorithm less efficient. The direct method converges very quickly. But it diverges if the initial guess is not very close to CSNB. Zeng's method of estimating the approximate critical point in the pre-determined direction is attractive in the sense that it uses only using load flow equations. However, the method is found to be less efficient than Dobson's iterative method. It may be concluded from the above observation that the direct method with the initial values obtained by carrying out the iterative method twice is most efficient at this time and more efficient algorithms are needed for on-line application.

조류계산은 전력계통해석에서 가장 기본적인 것이다. 일반적으로 조류계산은 선로의 3상을 평형으로 간주하여 한상에 대해서만 해석하였다. 삼상조류계산의 복잡함에 비해 그 필요성은 크지 않았기 때문이었다. 한편, 80년대에 소프트웨어 위기의 대안으로 제시되었던 객체지향기법(OOP)은 객체의 효율적인 모델링을 통해 복잡하고 거대한 프로그램의 작성을 보다 용이하게 할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문에서는 전력계통의 콤포넌트와 그 콤포넌트로 구성된 전력계통을 모델링하였고 계산에서 사용하는 수학적 모델을 모델링하였다. 또한 본 논문에서 사용한 객체지향 언어인 C++의 큰 특징인 template을 적응하였다. 결과적으로 기존의 단상 조류계산과 삼상조류계산이 사용되는 콤포넌트의 모델이 다른 것을 제외하고는 전체적인 구조를 동일하게 할 수 있었다.

이제까지 전력계통의 상태를 알기 위한 조류계산은 전력방정식에 대한 직접적인 풀이로써 이루어졌다. 그런데 만일 자코비안 행열이 singular나 유사 singular가 된다면 그 전력 방정식의 해를 구할 수가 없게 된다. singular나 유사 singular가 되는 자코비안 행열을 가지는 전력방정식을 풀기 위하여 보조 방정식을 추가하여 미분불능인 점을 미분가능으로 변환하는 continuous method가 있다. 그런데 continuous method에서 보조 방정식은 원함수의 성질에 따라 달라지므로 어떤 일반적인 형태를 가지지 않는다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전력방정식을 제약조건으로 가지고 부하 모선의 전력이 수용가의 요구량과 거의 일치되도록 하는 것을 목적 함수로 하는 최적화 문제로 조류계산을 변환하여 풀이하였다. 이러한 최적화 기법을 이용함으로써 continuous method에서 보조방정식이 원함수에 따라 계속적으로 변하는 문제를 개선하였다.

Line flow equations ($P_{ij}$, $Q_{ij}$) are comprised of state variable, $V_i$, ${\delta}_i$, $V_j$ and ${\delta}_j$, and line parameter, r and x. Using the feature of polar coordinate, these becomes one equation with two variables, $V_i$ and $V_j$. Moreover, if bus j is slack or generater bus, which is specified voltage magnitude, it becomes one equation with one variable $V_i$, that is, may be formulated with the second-order equation for $V_i^2$. Therefore, multiple load flow solutions may be obtained with simple computation, and the formulated equation used for approximately evaluating of voltage stability limit considering line flow sensitivity. The proposed method was validated to 2-bus and IEEE 6-bus system.

This paper describes a novel approach for allocating transmission costs among users of transmission services. In the suggested approach, the cost share of each participant is proportional to amount of its line flow. To develop individual user's impact, the line utilization factors of each participant are derived by power flow equations of all nodes (i.e., load-flow equations).

Although the developed allocation rule is basically similar to the existing MW-mile method in the aspect of embedded cost allocation, it does not require to get load flow solutions of each wheeling transaction when multiple transmission transactions are considered.
