Recently, ubiquitous sensor network(USN) techniques have been applied to electric power facility management. This paper dealt with the designed and fabricated ubiquitous sensors which monitor transformers and lightning arresters installed in overhead distribution systems. The sensors consist of a 8-[bit] microprocessor unit, a wireless communication nodule specified in IEEE 802.15.4, and associated electronics. A Rogowski coil was fabricated to measure load of transformer and surge current without saturation having good linearity up to 1000[A]. A zero-phase current transformer with a high relative permeability of $10^5$ at 180[Hz] was used to detect small leakage current of $50[{\mu}A]{\sim}1[mA]$ flowing lightning arrester, and the frequency bandwidth of the module is ranges from 12[Hz] to 1.24[kHz] at -3[dB].

Service restoration is an emergency control in distribution control centers to restore out-of-service area as soon as possible when a fault occurs in distribution networks. Therefore, it requires fast computation time and high quality solutions for load balancing. In this paper, a load balance index and heuristic guided best-first search are proposed for these problem. The proposed algorithm consists of two parts. One is to set up a decision tree to represent the various switching operations available. Another is to identify the most effective the set of switches using proposed search technique and a feeder load balance index. Test results on the KEPCO's 108 bus distribution system show that the performance is efficient and robust.

This paper examined electric power transmission line models of reducing ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) magnetic field and analyzed the effects about models. In this research, FRF(Field Reduction Factor) of various models reducing magnetic field were analyzed compared to the horizontal 154 kV transmission line. As a result, the reduction ratio of magnetic field was almost proportioned to the compaction of phase-to-phase distance, and in case of diamond model and transposed model, magnetic field was able to be reduced nearly 50 %. It was analyzed that the magnetic field reduction ratio of triangle model was about 33 % and the magnetic field reduction ratio of split model was able to be reduced to 50 %. Especially, the magnetic field reduction ratio of multi split model could be reduced to 80 %.

In this paper, a simulation method of the internal winding fault is proposed to calculate winding current and electromagnetic force in a distribution power transformer by suing FEM program. The model of the transformer is a single phase, 60[Hz], 1[MVA], 22.9[kV]/220[V], cable-type winding. The short-circuit current and electromagnetic force are calculated by FEM(Finite Element Method) program(Flux2D) and the results we verified with theoretical formula and PSPICE program. The simulation results are fairly good agreement with the other verified methods within 5[%] error rate. The turn-to-turn short-circuit current is 500 times of the rated current and the electromagnetic force is about $20{\sim}200times$. The method presented in this study may serve as one of the useful tools in the electromagnetic force analysis of the transformer winding behavior under the short circuit condition for design of the structure.

Accidents or faults in the transmission and distribution system are never completely avoidable, and short-circuit and earth faults are occurs despite the efforts of the TSO and DSO. Recently, the connection to the transmission and distribution system of large-capacity new and renewable distributed power has increased rapidly and has various effects on the operation of the system. In order to minimize this, connection standards such as FRT (Fault-Ride-Through) have been established to provide wind turbines or solar inverters. In the event of a major faults of the power system, the operation support shall be provided so that the operator can stably operate the system by smoothly performing connection maintenance or rapid system separation. In this paper, in order to appropriately determine whether the FRT condition, which is the grid connection criterion for a representative DERs, is sufficient, a detection system using a PMU (Phasor Measurement Unit) that measures a synchro-phasors was designed and deployment and a system accident due to a generator step-out to analyze and evaluate the proposed system based on the case.

In this paper, a fault determination methodology based on an artificial neural network was proposed to protect the system from faults on the lines in the smart grid distribution system. In the proposed methodology, first, it was designed to determine whether there is a low impedance line fault (LIF) based on the magnitude of the current RMS value, and if it is determined to be a normal current, it was designed to determine whether a high impedance ground fault (HIF) is present using Normal/HIF classifier based on artificial neural network. Among repetitive DSP module-based algorithm verification tests, the normal/HIF classifier recognized the current waveform as normal and did not show reclosing operation for the cases of normal state current waveform simulation test where the RMS value was smaller than the minimum operating current value. On the other hand, for the cases of LIF where RMS value is greater than the minimum operating current value, the validity of the proposed methodology could be confirmed by immediately recognizing it as a fault state and showing reclosing operation according to the prescribed procedure.

A safe grounding design is used for providing means to carry electric currents into the earth under fault conditions without exceeding any operating limits and for assuring that a person in the vicinity of grounded facilities is not exposed to danger of critical electrical shock. Transformer neutral point grounding is for the purpose of controlling the voltage to earth within tolerable limits under a line-to-ground fault. Transformer frame grounding is for the purpose of minimizing the hazardous potential within safety criteria appearing at the faulted equipment. ills paper deeply investigates the grounding resistance effects of distribution power transformers by analysing the neutral to eatth voltages and touch voltages when the fault occurs.

한전에서는 배전용 변압기의 부하관리를 위하여 전국사업소에 산재해 있는 변압기를 NDIS1) 부하관리 시스템으로 데이터 베이스화 하고, 각 변대에 수용되어 있는 고객의 월별 전기사용량을 추출하기 위하여 영업정보시스템과 연계하여 변압기, 배전선 개체관리는 물론 부하계산, 부하실적 및 부하예측 자료를 관리하고 있다. 이중 전등부하는 고객의 월간 사용전력량(kWh)과 최대부하(kVA)의 부하특성에 따른 상관 계수를 산정하여 이를 상관식에 적용하여 최대부하를 산출하고 있으며, 동력부하는 계약전력 및 종합수용률을 적용하여 부하전류를 계산하고 있으나 최근 고객의 냉방부하 급증으로 인하여 고객의 계약전력과 실제 설비용량과의 많은 차이가 발생하고 있어 변압기 관리에 어려움이 있고, 과부하로 인하여 변압기가 소손되는 사례도 발생하고 있다. 따라서 변압기 무선부하 감시시스템으로 측정한 결과를 토대로 변압기 이용율 계산의 정확도를 높이고 변압기 관리를 효율적으로 할 필요가 있다.

한전에서는 수요관리의 하나의 방법으로 심야전력요금제도를 운영하고, 심야축열기기를 보급하여 기저부하증대 및 부하율을 개선하기 위한 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 최근 유가상승 등의 원인으로 1999년과 2000년에 심야전력 난방기기의 급격한 보급증가로 인한 심야시간대 동계 최대 전력수요가 발생하여 22시 이후 단시간 부하급증으로 일부지역의 배전선로 회선용량부족 및 부하불평형으로 정전을 유발하게 되는 등 많은 어려움이 발생하였다. 본 논문은 심야수요급증으로 인한 대책의 일환으로 축열식 심야난방기기에 대하여 심야전력의 공급시간 자동제어장치를 개발하였다. 축열 잔열량을 측정하여 그 잉여량 만큼의 시간동안 심야전력의 공급을 지연하여 심야전력 공급초기에 집중되는 심야기기의 가동을 억제하여 심야부하를 분산하게 된다. 이로써 축열식 난방기기에 의한 동계 최대 전력수요 발생을 억제하여, 배전선로의 효율적인 운영에 기여할 것으로 기대된다
