Operational applications such as service restoration, voltage control and protection coordination are calculated based on the active and reactive power loading of the sections in the distribution networks. Loadings of the sections are estimated using the voltage and current measured from the automatic switches deployed along the primary feeders. But, due to the characteristics of the potential transformer attached to the switches, accuracy of the voltage magnitude is not acceptable to be used for section loading calculation. This paper proposes a new accurate section loading estimation method through voltage measurement error compensation by calculating voltage drop of the distribution line. In order to establish feasibility of the proposed method, various case studies based on Matlab simulation have been performed.

This paper suggests local voltage control method to achieve coordinative control between STATCOM and other reactive power resources, such as Shunt Capacitor/Reactors and OLTC. Voltage/Reactive power control has various difficult aspects to control because of analysis and system dynamics error. This control method suggests practical algorithm regarding system voltage and reactive power status which is easy to implement in substation basis. In normal status, STATCOM-Shunts-OOTC are in operation. In emergency status, OLTC is locked. This algorithm is tested and verified in EMTDC.

Protection issues in distribution systems which are to be operated in open and closed-loop modes in a smart grid are studied and a generalized protection setting method is proposed to meet the new requirements. The developed setting method assumes a conventional over-current protection scheme for the system with reclosers and over-current relays. In a closed-loop mode, it identifies protective devices that have to be sacrificed in order to maximize protection coordination for bidirectional fault current flow. The proposed setting method has been tested on many systems with different complexity and is proved effective.

Coordination of multiple UAVs is an essential technology for various applications in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence. In general, it includes 1) waypoints assignment and 2) trajectory generation. In this paper, we propose a new method for this problem. First, we modify the concept of the standard visibility graph to greatly improve the optimality of the generated trajectories and reduce the computational complexity. Second, we propose an efficient stochastic approach using simulated annealing that assigns waypoints to each UAV from the constructed visibility graph. Third, we describe a method to detect collision between two UAVs. FinallY, we suggest an efficient method of controlling the velocity of UAVs using A* algorithm in order to avoid inter-UAV collision. We present simulation results from various environments that verify the effectiveness of our approach.

This paper proposes a geometrical method for generating and draping the skirt 3D models. The method constructs a 3D basic skirt model using a truncated elliptical cone and generates the various skirt 3D models by controlling the elliptical cone. The B-Spline approximates the 3D drapes which change variously according to the angles and the textiles of the skirts. The mapping sources consist of the textile textures and the skirt 2D model. The 2D models are obtained by mapping the 3D skirt models to the 2D plane. The mapping sources allow us to map the textiles to the 3D skirts. We make the real skirts for the 6 kinds of angles and textiles. and investigate the data of their drape appearances. The investigated data are applied to the virtual skirts. Appearances of the virtual skirts are similar to those of the real.

The joint dispatch of regional electricity markets can improve the overall economic efficiency of interconnected markets by increasing the combined social welfare of the interconnected markets. This paper presents a new decentralized optimization technique based on Augmented Lagrangian Relaxation (ALR) to perform the joint dispatch of interconnected electricity markets. The Block Coordinate Descent (BCD) technique is applied to decompose the inseparable quadratic term of the augmented Lagrangian equation into individual market optimization problems. The Interior Point/Cutting Plane (IP/CP) method is used to update the Lagrangian multiplier in the decomposed market optimization problem. The numerical example is presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed decentralized method.

The optimum control of voltage and reactive power in large system requires large amounts of complicated calculation. If the large power system is controlled by the centralized control scheme, the necessary computing time, memory requirments and data transmission channels increase exponetially, and computer control of the system becomes difficult. Piecewise method which aims at the reduction of the difficulties of centralized control scheme is to decompose a large power system into several subsystems, each of which is controlled by a local computer and the control efforts of each subsystem are coordinated by a central computer. Unless sufficient coordination is made between subsystems, the control quality may become very poor. This paper describes how piecewise method can be applied in the optimal control of voltage and reactive power in large system, and presents effective calaulating algorithm for the solution of the problem. The numerical example for model system is presented here.

This paper proposes a reduction method for the mis-operation analysis of the DC High Speed Circuit Breaker(HSCB) in electric railway substation system. The analysis method is based on present condition of operation which is a method for accuracy level up. There is reason to operation of HSCB that it is mis-operation of fault detection relay(50F), operation of ground fault relay(64P), and trouble of electric car. A countermeasure is relay resetting through field test, induction of GTOCB(Gate Turn Off Thyristor Circuit Breaker), HSVCB(High Speed Vacuum Circuit Breaker), coordination with electric car. The results presented in the paper can be used as a reference for maintenance free in electric railway substation system.

This paper proposes an efficient method of hydro-thermal scheduling in coordination with head variation and hydraulically coupled plants using Evolutionary Programing(EP). Based on the EP technique, the proposed algorithm is capable of determining the global optimal solutions. The constraints such a power balance condition, water available condition and transmission losses are embedded and satisfied throughout the proposed EP approach. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated on the test systems and compared to those of other method. The results show that the new approach obtains a more highly optimal solutions than the conventional other methods such as newton-raphson method, Dynamic Programming(DP), LU factorization.
