The design rule for 8.5kV LTT was discussed here. An inherent integrated breakover diode (BOD) for self -protection function and multi-amplified gate (AG) for improved di/dt capability of LTT was introduced in principle. The trade-off between light triggering input source and high dV/dt limitation has been treated via narrow grooved P-base for gate design. Key process technology for LTT was given, too.

VSC-HVDC system based on Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is an emerging technology since compared to the conventional VSC-HVDC system an MMC presents several advantages such as modularity, low dv/dt, low harmonics, and low switching losses. In this paper, a comprehensive control strategy of an MMC-based VSC-HVDC system is proposed. In contrast to the conventional system control strategy, the DC side of the MMC operates as a controlled voltage source by the proposed method, and the dynamics of the transmission line voltage and current can be actively controlled. Validity of the proposed strategy was verified by 201-level full-scale computer simulation.

This paper dscribes a detail simulation model with EMTP (Electro-Magnetic Transients Program) which is very effective to analyze the interaction between the ac transmission line and STATCON (static condenser). The SATCON was represented by two voltage-source converters connected in parallel and sharing an energy storage dc capacitor bank. The voltage source converters was modeled with ideal gate turn-off switches. The power system was represented by a detail generator model and a distributed tramnsmission line model for detail performance analyses. Analysis results show that the conceived simulation model is very effective to analyze the interaction between the ac transmission line and STATCON, and to evaluate the performance of STATCON.

In competitive electricity markets, the System Operator (SO) coordinates the overall maintenance schedules whenever the collective maintenance schedule reported to SO by Gencos in the pool does not satisfy the specified operating criteria, such as system reliability or supply adequacy. In this paper, we divide maintenance schedule problem into master-problem and sub-problem. Master-problem is schedule coordination and sub-problem is DC-optimal power flow. If sub-problem is infeasible, we use the algorithm of modifying operating criteria of master-problem.

Although the demand for electricity has been increasing these days, it becomes more difficult to find new sites for large-scale power generation plants near urban areas due to environmental and economic issues. Therefore, new power plants are forced off to rural or desolate coastal areas. As a result, there is significant regional imbalance in power generation and consumption between urban and rural areas in South Korea. This paper investigates the feasibility of high-voltage DC (HVDC) system as a candidate for electric power transmission system from east-coastal sites to metropolitan area. To this end, this paper analyzes transient stability and dynamic impact of a HVDC transmission system and compares the results to conventional high-voltage AC (HVAC) transmission systems via PSS/E simulation. This paper also examines the effect of HVDC system to voltage variation and low-frequency resonance in the neighboring buses in the grid using ESCR(Effective Short Circuit Ratio)과 UIF(Unit Interaction Factor) indices.

본 논문은 CIGRE 492 보고서를 따른 것으로 최근 해외 선도 기업 및 미국, 유럽, 중국 등에서 도입하고 있는 LCC-HVDC, VSC-HVDC와 기존 송전시스템인 HVAC의 기술 및 경제적 효율성을 비교분석하였다. 분석 방법은 동일한 조건을 설정하여 각 시스템에 모의 적용하였으며, (1) HVAC와 VSC-HVDC와의 비교 (2) LCC-HVDC와 VSC-HVDC와의 비교를 진행하였다. 그 결과 시간 흐름에 따라 AC보다 DC에서의 경제적 효율성을 확인하였고, 또한 HVDC의 전류형과 전압형의 비용 분석에서는 오차범위, 추가적 편익 등을 고려할 시 전압형의 경제성에 대한 긍정적 측면을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 일반적인 PWM 방식을 택하였으나, 추후 연구에서는 최근 선도 기술이라 평가받는 MMC 방식의 전압형 HVDC를 적용하여 연구하고자 한다.

태양광 발전 시스템(photo-voltaic system)은 시간별 발전량이 상이하고 발전중 과전류가 발생하거나 쇼트상태가 되면 태양광 발전 모듈인 태양광 판넬(Solar panels)이 파괴되거나 송전 선로에 이상이 생길 수 있다. 또한 태양광 발전시설의 설비는 고가이며 태양광 패널 하나의 손상이 전체 발전시설의 효율을 현저하게 떨어지게 되거나 생산이 중단된다. 그리고 생산효율이 낮아지거나 발전이 중단되면 금전적으로 심각한 손해가 발생한다. 이러한 경우를 대비하여 태양광 발전 시스템의 이상 유무를 판단하고 관리할 수 있는 시스템이 필요하며, 나아가서는 태양광 판넬에서 생산된 DC전력을 모니터링 할 수 있는 기능과인버터를 통해 사용자에게 공급되는 AC전력을 모니터링 할 수 있는 종합적인 전기 에너지 모니터링 시스템을 필요로 하고 있다. 본 논문은 태양광 발전 시스템을 관리하기 위한 전력 생산량 정보, 과전류 정보, 판넬의 온도를 원격으로 스마트폰 상에 모니터링 하며, 관리자가 원격으로 시설의 전력 생산량을 모니터링 할 수 있도록 구현하여 전력생산설비의 효율적으로 관리 할 수 있음을 제시하고자한다.

The problem of optimal transmission system planning is to find the most economical locations and time of transmission line construction under the various constraints such as available rights-of-way, finances, the technical characteristics of power system, and the reliability criterion of power supply, and so on. In this paper the constraint of right-of-way is represented as a finite set of available rights-of-way. And the constructed for a unit period. The electrical constraints are represented in terms of line overload and steady state stability margin. And the reliability criterion is dealt with the suppression of failure cost and with single-contingency analysis. In general, the transmission planning problem requires integer solutions and its objective function is nonlinear. In this paper the objective function is defined as a sum of the present values of construction cost and the minimum operating cost of power system. The latter is represented as a sum of generation cost and failure cost considering the change of yearly load, economic dispatch, and the line contingency. For the calculation of operating cost linear programming is adopted on the base of DC load flow calculation, and for the optimization of main objective function nonlinear Branch-and-Bound algorithm is used. Finally, for improving the efficiency of B & B algorithm a new sensitivity analysis algorithm is proposed.

Most of the existing researches on systemwide optimization of generator maintenance scheduling do not consider the equivalent operating hours(EOHs) mainly due to the difficulties of calculating the EOHs of the CCGTs in the large scale system. In order to estimate the EOHs not only the operating hours but also the number of start-up/shutdown during the planning period should be estimated, which requires the mathematical model to incorporate the economic dispatch model and unit commitment model. The model is inherently modelled as a large scale mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem and the computation time increases exponentially and intractable as the system size grows. To make the problem tractable, this paper proposes an EOH calculation based on demand grouping by K-means clustering algorithm. Network congestion is also considered in order to improve the accuracy of EOH calculation. This proposed method is applied to the actual Korean electricity market and compared to other existing methods.
