Recently, distributed generation using renewable energy resources have increased due to the limitation of conventional energy. To utilize these energy source effectively, a method of applying the energy storage system(ESS) in distribution system has been considered. In this paper, we simulated the one line-to-ground fault in power system with ESS. Based on these simulations, we analyzed the effect on Over Current Relay(OCR) operation. As a result, ESS operation modes result fault current fluctuation. Thus, OCR need to reset the pick up current. This paper analyze effect of ESS in distribution system according to OCR setting by using ElectroMagnetic Transient Program(EMTP).

The presence of DGs in power system networks tends to negatively affect the protective relays coordination. The proposed method introduces an approach to minimize the numbers of relays that acquire new settings on contrary to their original settings (case without DG), to achieve relays coordination in case of adding DG, since relays coordination with minimum number of relays of re-adjusted settings represents economical target, especially in networks containing mixture of electromechanical and adaptive digital relays. The scheme decides the possible minimum number of re-adjusted relays and their locations in an optimum manner to achieve proper relays coordination in case of adding DGs. The proposed approach is divided into two successive phases; the first phase is stopped when the first relays coordination solution is achieved. The second phase increases the possibility to keep higher number of relays at their original settings than that obtained in first phase through achieving multi solutions of relays coordination. The proposed approach is implemented and effectively tested on the well-known IEEE-39 bus test system.

Global warming and air pollution have increased the amount $CO_2$ in the atmosphere. In order to decrease the amount of $CO_2$, lots of researches are conducted toward using Hydrogen energy. Because of its high efficiency energy level and environmental friendly features, many companies have researched on developing hydrogen engine system and distributed generation system. Especially, the focus of this research provides the operation method of linear generator for hydrogen fuel combustion linear engine. During an ignition, linear generator is operated by motor to create the initial condition of engine combustion. Once the engine combustion is stabilized, the generator supplies electric power to grid. In order to stabilize the engine, linear generator is required to control mover frequency, direction, and force; Hence the PCS(Power Conversion System) place three H-bridge type inverter stacks in parallel to control phase current independently. As well, by using Back-to-Back method, it can receive electric power from both end.

The hybrid system of gas turbine and fuel cell is expected to produce electricity more efficiently than conventional methods, especially in small power applications such as distributed generation. The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is currently the most promising fuel cell for the hybrid system. To realize the conceptual advantages resulting from the hybridization of gas turbine and fuel cell, optimized construction of the whole system must be the most important. In this study, parametric design analyses for pressurized GT/SOFC systems have been peformed considering probable practical limiting design factors such as turbine inlet temperature, fuel cell operating temperature, temperature rise in the fuel cell and soon. Analyzed systems include various configurations depending on fuel reforming type and fuel supply method.

We propose portable equipment that monitors current and voltage of high-potential power transmission lines. In the equipment, a current and voltage sensor are attached to an insulator that supports a power transmission line: A clamped to the power line and the detected current signal is transmitted to the ground station by a wireless optical link using transmission line is detected by a high resistance element, zinc oxide (ZnO). That acts as a potential divider between the power line and ground. We make an experimental device for 66kV power line and demonstrate that it can monitor currents proposed equipment is small-sized, light, and inexpensive in comparison with the conventional CT (current transformer) and PT (potential transformer) since it does not require high potential insulators and magnetic cores, further, the equipment is easily installed owing to its small size and its simple structure.

As power systems grow more complex and power demands increase, the need of underground transmission system is increasing gradually. But it is very difficult and high in cost to construct new ducts and/or tunnels for power cables in metropolitan areas. HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) cable can carry very high current densities with strongly reduced conductor loss and allow high power transmission at reduced voltage. Therefore HTS cable can transfer more power to be moved in existing ducts, which means very large economical and environmental benefits. A development project for a 22kV class HTS cable is ongoing at a research centers, and the cable manufacturer in Korea. In this paper, we carried out investigation for application of 22kV class HTS cable in Korean utility networks. The results show that the HTS cable is applicable to replace IPB in pumping-up power plant, withdrawal line in distributed generation, withdrawal line in complex power plant, and conventional under ground cable. Finally, as the cost of HTS wire and refrigeration drops, the technical and economical potential of HTS cable is evaluated positively.

Recently, there is a rising interest in smart grid operating system which manages various types of distributed generation, smart meters, and electric vehicles with power grid. Considering the features of smart grid environment, the interoperability should be one of the important factors to build smart grid environment successfully. To secure interoperability, smart grid operating system should conform to some standards in terms of the data representation and communication. CIM and OPC-UA are the international standards widely used in smart grid domain for enabling interoperability. They provide common information model and the unified architecture for communicating between each systems or applications. In this paper, we illustrate a smart grid operating system that we have developed to secure interoperability between not only applications but also numerous legacy systems(applications) by implementing CIM based information model and OPC-UA based communication interface services.

지속적인 전력수요 증가에 따라 대단위 발전설비가 증설되고 있다. 특히, 국제적인 친환경 기조에 따라 배전계통 내에 신재생 에너지를 기반으로 하는 분산전원이 급속히 확산되고 있다. 또한, 전력공급의 신뢰도 향상 및 계통 운영의 유연성을 위해서 배전계통이 망상 형태로 점점 복잡해지고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 변화는 사고시의 고장전류 크기를 증가시킨다. 따라서, 앞으로 고장전류는 현재 설치된 차단기의 차단 한계용량을 넘어설 것으로 예상된다. 이를 위한 해결책으로 보호설비의 교체나 용량증대 등을 들 수 있다. 하지만, 기술적 경제적인 측면을 고려해 볼 때 초전도한류기가 그 대안이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 초전도한류기의 최적 위치를 선정하는 기법을 제안한다. 최적 위치는 초전도한류기의 복합배전계통 내 설치 위치에 따른 설비별 고장전류의 저감에 기초해 설비별 고장율을 재산정하고 이를 통한 수용가별 신뢰도 향상을 신뢰도 민감도 지수를 이용하여 산정한다. 또한, 수지형 계통 및 망상형 계통에 제안한 초전도한류기의 최적 위치 기법을 적용함으로써 그 타당성을 입증하였다.

The Grid code is being strengthen as increase of renewable energy ratio. Especially, the grid connection regulations are continuously being updated for stable operation of power grids. Static grid support and Dynamic grid support must make an accurate measure at Grid connected point because they needs control algorithm individually. It has to exactly measure voltage including switching ripple at the output of the inverter generating system. In addition, it is necessary to have an accurate voltage measurement when the situation rapidly changing the grid impedance is caused by the input of serial impedance of transformer and line impedance as well as Grid Fault Device. In this paper, We propose a new detection method of grid voltage to calculate accurately the r.m.s voltage of the grid connection point along the standard required by the low voltage regulation. We verified performance through simulation grid fault device.
