This paper deals with two non-conventional HVDC system, that are, the Capacitor Commutated Converter (CCC) in which series capacitors are included between the converter transformer and the valves, and the Controller Series Capacitor Converter (CSCC), based on more conventional topology, in which series capacitors are inserted between the AC filter bus and the AC network. The simulation waveforms show that if these compare to conventional HVDC, these HVDC systems have many advantages in steady-state and transient performance.

The background of this paper is the HVDC concept design of Jeju HVDC #2, which will be operated at 2011. The concept design is the first step of HVDC design procedures and the contents handled in this procedure are operation conditions, short circuit ratios(SCR) and interactions between AC network and HVDC. The operating conditions are based on the reliability of HVDC and AC network, SCR is related to HVDC stability and overvoltage and the interaction is between HVDC and other AC equipments, that are FACTS, generator and HVDC. The results of this paper are a keystone of HVDC #2 design.

We propose a intelligent controller for FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission System) device to stabilize a power system. In order to identify the nonlinear characteristics of the power system and to estimate a control signal, an artificial neural network is utilized. The control signal which is provided for FACTS device installed in the network is produced. The proposed controller is applied to Unified Power Flow Controller(UPFC) to verified the effectiveness of the proposed control system. The results show that the proposed nonlinear FACTS controller is able to enhance the transient stability of three machine nine bus power system.

DC urban railway power system consists of DC power network and AC power network. The DC power network supplies electric power to railway vehicles and the AC power network supplies electric power to station electric equipment. Recently, because of power consumption reduction and peak load shaving, intelligent measurement of regenerative energy and renewable energy adapted on DC urban railway is required. For this reason, DC smart metering system for DC power network shall be developed. Therefore, in this paper, DC voltage sensor, current sensor, and DC smart meter were developed and evaluated by performance test. DC voltage sensor was developed for measuring standard voltage range of DC urban railway, and DC current sensor was developed as hall effect split core type in order to install in existing system. DC smart meter possesses function of general intelligent electric power meter, such as measuring electricity and wireless communication etc. And, DC voltage sensor showed average 0.17% of measuring error for 2,000V/50mA, and current sensor showed average 0.21% of measuring error for ${\pm}2,000V/{\pm}4V$ in performance test. Also DC smart meter showed maximum 0.92% of measuring error for output of voltage sensor and current sensor. In similar environment for real DC power network, measuring error rate was under 0.5%. In conclusion, accuracy of DC smart metering system was confirmed by performance test, and more detailed performance will be verified by further real operation DC urban railway line test.

In this paper, we propose a new type of integrated wireless control system using a cloud-based AP Controller. With this system, network administrator can control wireless network in head office and branch hierarchically. In head office, they have an AP Controller Manager, it can control all Access Points, Access point Controllers in their networks. In addition, if we need to install new Access point Controller because of the increasing number of Access Point, the process of making virtual Access point Controller can be automated. This paper presents an architecture of the integrated wireless control system, as well as describes its components and protocols.

The traction power demand highly varies with time and train positions and the traction load is a large-capacity current at single phase converted from 3-phase power system. Subsequently, each phase current converted from 3-phase power system cannot be maintained in balance any longer and thus the traction load can bring about imbalance in three-phase voltage. Therefore, the exact assessment of voltage unbalance must be carried out preferentially as well as load forecast at stages of designing and planning for electric railway system. The evaluation of unbalance voltage in areas, such as electric railway depots should be a prerequisite with more accuracy. The conventional researches on voltage unbalance have dealt with connection schemes of the transformers used in ac AT-fed electric railroads system and induced formulas to briefly evaluate voltage unbalance in the system(3). These formulas are still being used widely due to their easy applicabilities on voltage unbalance evaluation. Meanwhile, they don't take into account detailed characteristics of ac AT-fed electric railroads system, being founded on some assumptions. Accordingly. accuracy still remains in question. This paper proposes a new method to more effectively estimate voltage unbalance index. In this method, numerous diverted circuits in electric railway depots are categorized in three components and each component is defined as a two-port network model. The equivalent circuit for the entire power supply system is also described into a two-port network model by making parallel and/or series connections of these components. Efficiency and accuracy in voltage unbalance calculation as well can be promoted by simplifying the circuits into two-port network models.

This paper deals with the impact of an inverter station on the torsional dynamics of turbine-generator which is located at the inverter side of a HVDC-AC network power system. The studies show that the torsional stress of turbine-generator depends on the AC network fault locations because of the commutation failures of inverter station. And the torsional stress induce fatigue in the shaft material and reduce the shaft life-time. So, the purpose of this paper is to analysis the torsional stress of turbine-generator shaft at inverter side, to find the checked points of turbine-generator. The EMTDC program is used for the simulation studies.

When typical Z-source DC/AC inverter(ZSI) is operated in high voltage gain area, because of its high duty ratio, voltage and current stress in Z-network of typical ZSI are increased. This paper proposes a new switched trans ZSI(STZSI) with two switched trans cells which consist of one trans and two diodes. To confirm the operation performance of the proposed system, the PSIM simulation is performed for typical ZSI, switched inductor ZSI and the proposed STZSI. Voltage / current stress and transient state characteristics of each method are compared under the condition of DC input voltage 100[V] and output phase voltage 66[Vrms]. As a result, we confirmed that transient state of the proposed STZSI is short compared with the conventional ZSI because the high voltage gain is obtained using the same duty ratio, also a low duty ratio is required for the same output voltage. Finally, we could know the proposed system have low voltage and current stress in Z-network compared with the conventional ZSI.
