This study presents the electrical load forecasting and error correction method using a real building load pattern, and the way to manage the energy storage system with forecasting results for economical load operation. To make a unique pattern of target load, we performed the Hierarchical clustering that is one of the data mining techniques, defined load pattern(group) and forecasted the demand load according to the clustering result of electrical load through the previous study. In this paper, we propose the new reference demand for improving a predictive accuracy of load demand forecasting. In addition we study an error correction method for response of load events in demand load forecasting, and verify the effects of proposed correction method through EMS scheduling simulation with load forecasting correction.

This paper presents the design and dynamic analysis of a stand-alone microgrid with high penetration of renewable energy. The optimal sizing of various components in the microgrid is obtained considering two objectives: minimization of levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and maximization of renewable energy penetration. Integrating high renewable energy in stand-alone microgrid requires special considerations to assure stable dynamic performance, we therefore develop voltage and frequency control method by coordinating Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and diesel generators. This approach was applied to the design and development of Gasa Island microgrid in South Korea. The microgrid consists of photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, lithium-ion batteries and diesel generators. The dynamic performance of the microgrid during different load and weather variations is verified by simulation studies. Results from the real microgrid were then presented and discussed. Our approach to the design and control of microgrid will offer some lessons in future microgrid design.

The distributed maximum power point tracking (DMPPT) concept is widely adopted in photovoltaic systems to avoid mismatch loss. However, the high cost and complexity of DMPPT hinder its further promotion in practice. Based on the concept of DMPPT, this paper presents an integrated submodule level half-bridge stack structure along with an optimal current point tracking (OCPT) control algorithm. In this full power processing integrated solution, the number of power switches and passive components is greatly reduced. On the other hand, only one current sensor and its related AD unit are needed to perform the ideal maximum power generation for all of the PV submodules in any irradiance case. The proposal can totally eliminate different small-scaled mismatch effects in real-word condition and the true maximum power point of each PV submodule can be achieved. As a result, the ideal maximum power output of the whole PV system can be achieved. Compared with current solutions, the proposal further develops the integration level of submodule DMPPT solutions with a lower cost and a smaller size. Moreover, the individual MPPT tracking for all of the submodules are guaranteed.

These days, although thermal energy is decreasing, electric energy is increasing in building. Also, it is very important to research and distribute BIPV(Building Integrated photovoltaic) because our society consider electricity more significant than other energy in building. Therefore, in this paper, our research team analyzed difference between BIPV yield and building energy consumption through experimental research. As a result, yearly building energy consumption was 104,602.4kWh and BIPV yield was 105,267kWh. And then, totally counterbalanced time took up 26%, reduced electric load time took up 16%. In other words, peak load could be reduced up to 42% by BIPV. As a result, yearly building energy consumption was 104,602.4kWh and BIPV yield was 105,267kWh. And then, totally counterbalanced time took up 26%, reduced electric load time took up 16%. In other words, peak load could be reduced up to 42% by BIPV.

In this study, we, through case studies, formulated a method to implement net-zero energy daycare center at the current insulation and technology level, and calculated its energy expense. The reference model was a medium sized daycare center whose number of children was 99. We analyzed the energy consumption status for the reference model and developed TRNSYS simulation analytical model to realize net-zero energy . We assumed the reference model to be "All Electric Building" where all energy including cooking is supplied by electricity. The result is summarized as follows: First, the annual electricity consumption of daycare center was 53,291kWh. Plug load occupied the largest share of 48% followed by lighting, 10%, cooling, 9%, cooking, 9%, heating, 8%, hot water, 5% and ventilation, 2%. Second, the photovoltaic installation capacity to realize net-zero energy was 40.32kWp and its annual generation was 53,402kWh. Third, the annual energy expense(electricity bill) by realizing net-zero energy was 2,620,390won.

The insulator used for the transmission line is a device that is bonded with a cap, pin, ceramic, and cement to withstand insulation capacity and mechanical load. The insulator design can help to reduce the dispersion of the electric field; thus, the optimization of today's design, especially as demanded power grows, is critical. The designs of four manufacturers were used to perform a comparative analysis. Under dry circumstances of the new product, an electric field distribution study was done with no pollutants attached. Manufacturer D's design has the best voltage uniformity of 24.33% and the arc length of 500 mm or more. Manufacturer C's design has an equalizing voltage of more than 2% higher than that of other manufacturers. The importance of the design of the insulator and the number of connections according to the installation conditions is very efficient for transmission lines that will increase in the future.

In this study, we applied ENERWATER to evaluate the energy consumption labeling of wastewater treatment plants in Korea using the Korea sewerage statistics data. The results showed that the energy label status was excellent in the SBR process for small and medium-scale wastewater treatment plants and the A2O process for large-scale wastewater treatment plants. The energy labeling of wastewater treatment plants of 50,000 tons capacity was excellent. The statuses of metropolitan cities and Jeollanam-do province were excellent. We analyzed the effects of renewable energy on wastewater treatment plants' energy consumption and found out that digestion gas for large-scale plants and photovoltaic energy for small-scale plants were effective in improving energy labeling. In addition, we compared the energy labels of four wastewater treatment plants in "Z" city and wastewater treatment plant "X" had the best energy label, and the wastewater treatment plants "V" and "Y" had to be selected as priorities for the energy diagnosis and improvement project. In a comprehensive conclusion, the applicability of ENERWATER was confirmed based on sewage statistics data and labeling can be used to set priorities for the energy diagnosis and improvement project.

최근, 정부의 재생에너지 3020 정책에 따라 태양광전원 등의 신재생에너지전원을 확대하는 보급 사업이 적극적으로 시행되고 있다. 하지만, 대용량의 태양광전원이 배전계통에 연계되는 경우, 수용가전압이 규정전압 범위를 벗어나게 되는 현상이 발생될 수 있어, 태양광전원의 수용성이 저하되어 보급이 지연될 가능성이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 대용량의 태양광전원이 배전계통에 연계될 경우, 태양광전원의 수용성을 향상시키기 위하여, 선로전압조정장치(step voltage regulator, SVR)의 LDC(line drop compensation, LDC)방식에 의한 태양광전원의 수용성 향상 평가알고리즘을 제시한다. 또한, 배전계통 상용해석 프로그램인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여, LDC방식의 SVR과 대용량의 태양광 전원 등으로 구성된 복합 배전계통의 모델링을 제시한다. 이를 바탕으로, SVR의 운용방식에 따른 태양광전원의 수용성을 비교·분석한 결과, LDC방식으로 운용하는 경우에는 태양광전원이 6.5[MW]까지 연계되어도 수용가전압이 규정전압 범위 이내로 유지되어, 본 논문에서 제안한 LDC 방식에 의한 태양광전원의 수용성 향상 평가알고리즘의 유용성을 확인하였다.

최근, 기후변화와 미세먼지 등에 의한 지구규모적인 환경문제를 해결하기 위하여, 정부에서는 RE 3020 정책을 시행하고 있으며, 이에 따라 대용량의 태양광전원이 배전계통에 연계되고 있다. 하지만, 대용량 태양광전원이 배전계통에 연계되는 경우, 태양광전원의 연계위치와 용량, 연계방식 및 고장지점에 따라 사고전류의 크기와 방향이 변하게 되고, 지락사고가 발생하여도 분류효과에 의하여 보호협조기기가 동작하지 않는 부동작 현상이 발생할 가능성이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 다수의 태양광전원이 배전계통에 연계되어 운용되는 경우, 리클로저(recloser, 이하 R/C)의 설치개소에 따라 보호협조기기가 동작하지 않는 부동작 메커니즘을 제시하고, 이를 바탕으로 다양한 시나리오에 기반한 보호협조기기의 부동작 패턴탐색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한, 보호협조 전용 해석 프로그램인 Off-DAS를 이용하여, 다수의 태양광 전원이 연계된 배전계통 모델링을 수행하고, 이를 바탕으로 다양한 시나리오에 따른 보호협조기기 부동작 패턴을 분석한다. 제안한 보호협조기기의 부동작패턴 탐색알고리즘 및 모델링을 바탕으로 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, R/C의 설치개소 및 태양광전원의 연계 패턴에 따라 부동작 현상이 발생함을 알 수 있어, 본 논문의 유용성을 확인하였다.
