This paper proposes a multiple switch mode power supply (SMPS) system based on the wireless network which controls variable load. The system enables power supply of up to 600W using 200W SMPS as a unit module and provides a controlling function of output power based on variable load and a monitoring function based on wireless network. The controlling function for output power measures the variation of output power and facilitates efficient power supply by controlling output power based on the measured variation value. The monitoring function guarantees a stable power supply by observing the multiple SMPS system in real time via wireless network. The performance of the proposed system was examined by various experiments. In addition, it was verified through standardized test of Korea Testing Certification. The results were given and discussed.

Wide-area monitoring of tree-related high impedance fault (THIF) efficiently contributes to increase reliability of large-scaled network, since the failure to early location of them may results in critical lines tripping and consequently large blackouts. In the first place, this wide-area monitoring of THIF requires managing the placement of sensors across large power grid network according to THIF detection objective. For this purpose, current paper presents a framework in which sensors are distributed according to a predetermined risk map. The proposed risk map determines the possibility of THIF occurrence on every branch in a power network, based on electrical conductivity of trees and their positions to power lines which extracted from spectral data. The obtained possibility value can be considered as a weight coefficient assigned to each branch in sensor placement problem. The next step after sensors deployment is to on-line monitor based on moving data window. In this on-line process, the received data window is evaluated for obtaining a correlation between low frequency and high frequency components of signal. If obtained correlation follows a specified pattern, received signal is considered as a THIF. Thereafter, if several faulted section candidates are found by deployed sensors, the most likely location is chosen from the list of candidates based on predetermined THIF risk map.

This paper describes a new approach to the algorithm and fundamental characteristics of the device for monitoring the leakage currents flowing through zinc oxide (ZnO) surge arresters. In order to obtain a technique for a new on-line monitoring device that can be used in the deterioration diagnosis of ZnO surge arresters, the new algorithm and on-line leakage current detection device for extracting the resistive and capacitive currents using the phase shift addition method were proposed. The computer-based on-line monitoring device can sense accurately the power frequency leakage currents flowing through ZnO surge arresters. The on-line leakage current monitoring device of ZnO surge arresters proposed in this work has the high sensitivity compared to the third harmonic leakage current detection devices. As a consequence, it was found that the proposed leakage current monitoring device would be useful for forecasting the defects and degradation of ZnO surge arresters.

본 연구에서는 익일부하예측 기능을 갖는 빌딩에너지관리시스템을 제시한다. 기존의 빌딩에너지 관리시스템은 빌딩내의 다양한 인프라를 이용하여 에너지를 감시 한다 그러나 이러한 시스템을 구현하기 위해서는 많은 인프라 구축비용이 소요 되어, 에너지 절감을 위한 인프라 구축비용과 실제 절감된 전기 요금을 비교 할 경우, 에너지 절감을 위해 투자한 비용을 전기 요금 절약으로 회수하는데 수년이 걸리고, 또한 인프라 설비 유지 보수를 고려할 경우, 결과적으로 에너지 절약 효과가 미비하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 보다 저렴하고 합리적인 방법으로 빌딩의 에너지 소비를 억제할 수 있도록, 기상청데이터와 한전의 ISmart 데이터를 기반으로 데이터마이닝기법을 이용하여 빌딩의 익일 부하 사용량을 예측하고 이를 기반으로 빌딩 부하의 On/Off를 수행하도록 빌딩에너지관리시스템을 구현함으로써 상대적으로 저렴한 비용으로 빌딩에너지 사용의 합리화를 이루도록 하였다.

The wavelet transform can apply various lengths of windows according to the amount of signal frequencies. So characteristics of nonstationary disturbances were found to be more closely monitored by the wavelet transform. In this paper, the wavelet transform is applied to the algorithm for monitoring various power quality disturbances. And personal computer monitoring system was developed.

Each electrical apparatus radiates various infrared as the condition of surface and load current. Because heat distribution of the apparatus changes as the condition, it is able to analyze the condition of the apparatus by using the distribution. However, methods having been used to measure the heat distribution cannot compare normal condition with abnormal, and the apparatus has diagnosed by intuition. This paper deal with a program that is able to analyze changed temperature distribution. The program is to analyze temperatures on pixels in selected region of interest or position and is able momently and logically to analyze condition of the apparatus. The results are able to apply to a on-line monitoring system.

Continuous on-line temperature monitoring allows corrective measures to be taken to prevent upcoming failure. Continuous temperature monitoring and event recording provides information on the energized equipment's response to normal and emergency conditions. On-line temperature monitoring helps to coordinate equipment specifications and ratings, determine the real limits of the monitored equipment and optimize facility operations. Using wireless technique eliminates any need for special cables and wires with lower installation costs if compared to other types of online condition monitoring equipment. In addition, wireless temperature monitoring works well under difficult conditions in strategically important locations. Wireless technology for on-line condition monitoring of energized equipment is applicable both as standalone system and with an interface with power quality monitoring system.

Methods and analysis of a simple wireless sensor concept for detecting and locating faults as well as for load monitoring are presented. The concept is based on distributed wireless sensors that are attached to the incoming and outgoing power lines of secondary substations. A sensor measures only phase current characteristics of the wire it is attached to, is not synchronized to other sensors and does not need configuration of triggering levels. The main novelty of the concept is in detecting and locating faults by combining power distribution network characteristics on system level with low power sampling methods for individual sensors. This concept enables the sensor design to be simple, energy efficient and thus applicable in new installations and for retrofit purposes in both overhead and underground electrical distribution systems.

Through the development of phasor measurement units (PMU), various aspects of power system dynamic behavior could be monitored and diagnosed. Monitoring dynamic voltage stability has become one of the achievements we can obtain from PMUs. It is very important to select the most appropriate method for the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) system since there are many voltage stability indices. In this paper, we propose an advanced WAVI (Wide Area Voltage Stability) that is well suited for the purposes of monitoring the dynamic voltage stability of KEPCO's PMU installation plan. The salient features of the proposed index are: i) it uses only PMU measurements without coupling with EMS data; ii) it is computationally unburdened and can be applied to real-time situations. The proposed index is applied to the KEPCO test system and the results show that it successfully predicts voltage instability through comparative studies.
