This paper presents a fault location algorithm when there are parallel circuits in power system networks. In transmission networks, a fault location method using the distribution factor of fault currents is introduced and in distribution networks a method using direct 3-phase circuit analysis is developed, because the distribution networks are unbalanced. The effect of parallel circuits in fault location is studied in this paper. The effect is important for the range of protecting zones of distance relay in transmission networks and fault location in distribution networks. The result of developed fault location algorithm shows high accuracy in the simulation that using the EMTP.

배전계통은 여러 가지 이유로 잦은 고장을 경험하기 때문에 고장위치 추정은 전력공급 신뢰도 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 그렇지만 배전계통은 주 선로에서 분기되는 3상 및 단상 분기선을 가지는 수지상 구조로 설계되며 각 구간 상에 수개의 로드 탭을 가지기 때문에 고장점 표정이 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 전력계통 고장점 표정기법에 대해서 조사, 분석하여 배전자동화시스템의 중앙제어장치에서 효과적으로 실행할 수 있는 고장거리 계산 기법을 결정한다. 그리고 EMTP 모의 결과를 통해 결정된 방법의 유효성을 검증한다.

Recently, new Low Voltage DC (LVDC) power distribution systems have been constantly researched as uses of DC in end-user equipment are increased. As in conventional AC distribution system, High Impedance Fault (HIF) which may cause a failure of protective relay can occur in LVDC distribution system as well. It, however, is hard to be detected since change in magnitude of current due to the fault is too small to detect the fault by the protective relay using overcurrent element. In order to solve the problem, this paper presents an algorithm for detecting HIF using accumulated energy in LVDC distribution system. Wavelet Singular Value Decomposition (WSVD) is used to extract abnormal high frequency components from fault current and accumulated energy of high frequency components is considered as the element to detect the fault. LVDC distribution system including AC/DC and DC/DC converter is modeled to verify the proposed algorithm using ElectroMagnetic Transient Program (EMTP) software. Simulation results considering various conditions show that the proposed algorithm can be utilized to effectively detect HIF.

The fault analysis problem of a distribution network has many difficulties comes from the unbalance of loads or networks and the lacks of load information. The unbalance of loads or networks make the fault location difficult when it use the classical sequence transformation. Moreover the amount of load in the distribution networks fluctuates with time. This paper introduces a recent fault location algorithm using iterative method which handle the unbalance of the problem. But, the fault location errors comes from the load fluctuations still left. For the real application of the new fault location algorithm in distribution networks, this paper studied the effect of the load fluctuations in the algorithm.

Unbalanced systems, such as distribution systems, have difficulties in fault locations due to single-phase laterals and loads. This paper proposes new fault locations developed by the direct three-phase circuit analysis algorithms using matrix inverse lemma for the line-to-ground fault case and the line-to-line fault case in unbalanced systems. The fault location for balanced systems has been studied using the current distribution factor, by a conventional symmetrical transformation, but that for unbalanced systems has not been investigated due to their high complexity. The proposed algorithms overcome the limit of the conventional algorithm using the conventional symmetrical transformation, which requires the balanced system and are applicable to any power system but are particularly useful for unbalanced distribution systems. Their effectiveness has been proven through many EMTP simulations.

Recently, protection coordination issues can occur due to increased fault current in power system when power system being changed radial power system to grid system such as loop power system, micro grid and smart grid. This paper analyzed Recloser-Fuse coordination in loop power distribution system with Superconducting Fault Current Limiters(SFCLs) when single line ground fault occur in loop power distribution system with SFCLs. We analyzed Recloser-Fuse Coordination in radial power distribution system and changed coordination caused by increased Fault current because of loop system when single line ground fault occur in power distribution system. This paper simulated to improve changed coordination using SFCLs in loop power distribution system. Power distribution system, SFCLs and protective devices are modeled using PSCAD/EMTDC.

Penetration of distributed generator(DG) to power distribution system can cause malfunction of existing protection schemes. Because grid interconnected DG can contribute fault currents and make bidirectional current flows on the system, fault contributions from DG can cause an interference of protection relay operation. Therefore, over current protection device of the distribution system with DGs need directional protection schemes. In this paper, improved directional protection algorithms are proposed for the distribution system with DG considering their fault characteristics. And than, these directional protection algorithms are tested and validated in various fault conditions. From the simulation results, it can be seen that the proposed directional protection algorithms are practically efficient for the radial distribution system with DG.

This paper proposes a FRTU-based intelligent fault distance determination strategy in which each FRTU is able to avoid multiple estimations and reduce the level of estimation error by utilizing heuristic rules driven by voltage and current information collected by 1:1 communication with other FRTUs from the same zone in a ubiquitous-based distribution system. In the proposed method, each FRTU, at first, determines a fault zone and a fault path on the faulted zone based on the proposed heuristic rules which use its current data and the voltage data of its neighboring FRTUs as input data. Next, it determines the fault distance from its position based on the fault current estimated from the current data of the neighboring FRTUs. Finally, in order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method, the diverse fault cases are simulated in several positions of the typical distribution system using the EMTP.

본 논문에서는 저비용 제작이 가능한 직렬 공진형 한류기를 스마트 그리드 배전 계통에 적용하기 위한 방법을 연구하였다. 먼저, 한류기의 직렬 공진 회로에 주입되는 단락 전류의 고조파 성분들이 과도 응답의 피크 값에 미치는 영향에 대해서 분석하였으며, 퍼센트 임피던스 기반 고장 전류 계산법을 적용하여 정상 상태 응답을 결정하는 방법을 연구하였다. 다음, 시험 배전 선로에 적용하여 채택된 방법의 유효성을 검증하였다. 설계된 한류기를 적용한 시험 배전계통을 EMTP_RV를 이용하여 모델링하였으며 3상 단락 고장 시나리오를 모의하였다. 고장 모의 결과에서 한류기 적용 후 고장 전류의 정상 상태 응답이 설계 목표 값을 정확하게 추종하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 한류기 적용 전과 후의 고장전류 파형 비교에서 고장 전류가 크게 억제되는 것을 확인함으로써 배전 계통에 대한 직렬 공진형 한류기 적용 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper analysed a protective equipment in power distribution system linked distribution power system when a superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) is installed. This paper focused on a recloser, because the recloser is a general protective equipment. When power distribution system linked distribution power system, a fault current is increased by adding fault current of distribution power system. The increased fault current makes many problems. But SFCLs are limiting fault current and help the protective equipment to operate normal process. We analysed the operation of protective equipment in power distribution system linked distribution power system with SFCLs.
