The geothermal heat pump systems were installed for heating and cooling of public buildings in Jincheon Eco-friendly Energy town. The heat pump system was operated at night to save on operational costs, and the cold heat was stored in thermal energy storage (TES). In this study, the performance of geothermal heat pump systems with the TES during the summer season was analyzed, and the operational costs with and without the TES were compared. The electric chiller model was used to simulate a heat pump applied without the TES system. Electric rates of each system were measured to calculate operational costs. When the TES is used in the air conditioning system, the electric load (30.4 MWh) calculated in the daytime can move to off-peak load time, and the operational cost is reduced by 36~54%.

Although the distribution system has been structured as complicated as a mesh in the past, the connection points for each line are always kept open, so that it is operated as a radial distribution system (RDS). For RDS, the line utilization rate is determined according to the maximum load on the line, and the utilization rate is usually kept low. In addition, when a fault occurs in the RDS, a power outage of about 3 to 5 minutes occurs until the fault section is separated, and the healthy section is transferred to another line. To improve the disadvantages of the RDS, research on the construction of a networked distribution system (NDS) that linking multiple lines is in progress. Compared to the RDS, the NDS has advantages such as increased facility utilization, load leveling, self-healing, increased capacity connected to distributed generator, and resolution of terminal voltage drop. However, when a fault occurs in the network distribution system, fault current can flow in from all connected lines, and the direction of fault current varies depending on the fault point, so a high-precision fault current direction determination method and high-speed communication are required. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an accurate fault current direction determination method by comparing the peak value polarity of the fault current in the event of a fault, and a communication-based protection coordination method using this method.

This paper gives the application method for Electric Heat Rump to DSM programs. The EHP has a function transfer heat and uses electricity as a energy source. In nowadays, as oil prices go up, many People uses the EHP, instead of GHP, the electric power peak load is escalating gradually. By that reason, to achieve successful load leveling, new DSM programs for EHP is needed. Under those circumstances, we discussed about the need of DSM programs for EHP, and the detail method for application EHP to DSM programs in this paper. And we dealt with the site specific test for EHP, and analyzed the test result.

As the automic power plant is increased, load leveling energy storage system becomes more important. Pumped hydroelectric storage, used in the present, has too storage efficiency and difficulty in selecting site. But SMES(Superconducting Magnet Energy Storage) has high storage efficiency (90%), fast time response characteristics and ease of location. The general object of SMES with electric power system is the minimization overall production cost. This paper presents a method for the economic operation of SMES by Dynamic Programming.

전력 부하관리기기인 축냉시스템은 그동안 건물 냉방 공조용을 중심으로 보급되었다. 기저부하를 증진시키고 주간의 피크부하를 낮추어 주야간의 부하불균형을 해소하는 축냉시스템은 그동안 전력부하율 향상 및 부하평준화에 많이 기여해왔다. 산업용으로의 축냉기기보급의 타당성 및 부하평준화에 관한 연구시행 결과, 그 타당성과 보급확대의 필요성이 확인 되었다. 가스식 냉방기는 피크억제측면에서, 축냉식은 부하이전 측면에서 장점이 매우 크며, 전체 부하관리 측면에서 이들의 균형보급발전 노력이 필요하다. 산업용으로의 축냉기기 보급은 특히 주야간 부하불균형이 심한 하계의 부하평준화효과가 크며, 그 보급시장 및 전력절감 잠재량 규모를 감안할 때 국가적 편익과 추가 발전설비건설억제에 크게 기여할 것으로 예상된다.

Experimental study was performed to understand the real operation conditions of a showcase working usually in a convenient store and discount store. The purpose of this study was to show the possibility for practical use of cold-heat storage systems being operated for the showcase. To do that, evaporator and condenser temperatures were measured and the compressor electric power consumption were measured simultaneously. To use the ice storage system, the ice making process was typically operated during midnight being not needed the cooling of the showcase through the continuous running of the condenser unit. And then, the refrigerant was subcooled using the stored cold-heat after being discharged from the condenser during daytime. So, the cooling performance was increased with the sub-cooling of refrigerant during daytime,hence the actual running time of the compressor could be effectively decreased. Through the experiments, this study showed that the compressor electric power consumption during daytime could be transferred to nighttime for applying the refrigerant sub-cooling. So, for the convenient store, the maximum load transfer rates for each working cooler and showcase were estimated about 31.1% and 19.9% respectively. And for the discount store, the maximum load transfer rates for each refrigeration and freezing showcase were estimated about 34.1% and 49.0% respectively.

Experimental study was performed to understand the operations of a showcase working in a discount store. Temperatures of evaporation, condenser were measured and also electric power consumption of compressor were measured. The purpose of this study is to application use of cold-heat storage systems operated the showcase. At the condition using ice storage system, the ice making process was operated during midnight being not needed the cooling of the showcase through the continuous running of the condenser unit. And then, the refrigerant was sub-cooled using stored cold-heat after being discharged from the air cooling condenser during the day time. The cooling performance was increased owing to the sub-cooling of refrigerant during day time, hence the running time of the compressor was effectively decreased. In other words, this study showed that power consumption during daytime can be transferred to the midnight for making use of the refrigerant sub-cooling. So the operating characteristics of the showcase system under various working conditions were analyzed and discussed.

Around the world are increasing the demand for ESS. Currently, the domestic is expected to benefit by operating ESS. In the domestic, it is expected to benefit from operations of the installed ESS because of the introduction of ESS less capacity. However ESS capacity to the maximum profit occurs is unknown. ESS is different from the charge-discharge characteristics and the reserve to replace, depending on the application. Therefore, it should be established in accordance with the ESS optimal capacity according to the purpose used because it can maximize the quality and efficiency of the electric energy. To the ESS optimal capacity estimation by the purpose used, It should compare the investment cost caused by ESS facility installation and operation cost caused by operating ESS. In this paper, the operation mathematical model for estimating marginal operation costs established. In operation mathematical model, operating cost is considered fuel cost and no-load cost start-up cost. Because no-load cost and start-up cost are not related to cost and power plant output, there are expressed an integer variable costs as a step function.

본 논문은 전기자동차(EV, Electric Vehicle) 충전기를 이용하여 차량에 충전전력을 공급할 때, 전력수요가 최저이며 차량의 운행도 하지 않는 심야시간에 충전하는 전력부하관리 방법에 대한 연구결과이다. 향후 전기자동차의 보급이 가속화 되어 전체 승용자동차의 약 10% 정도가 전기자동차로 변환된다면 이의 충전전력으로 인한 전력수요 피크가 발생할 수도 있다. 그러나 급속충전기 사용할 때와 같이 소비자가 즉각적인 충전전력사용을 원하는 경우를 제외하고는, 심야시간대의 충전용 전력요금이 상대적으로 저렴하다면 소비자는 차량이 운행하지 않는 심야시간에 충전을 선택할 가능성이 있다. 그러므로 여기서는 심야 시간에 충전을 유도할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하여 홈 충전기에 탑재하고 그 실증시험을 하여 사용가능성을 검증하여 보았다.
