This paper proposes a reduced-scale simulator that can replace numerical analytic methods for the estimation of potential distribution caused by ground faults in various grounding systems. The simulator consists of a hemispherical electrolytic tank, a three-dimensional potential probe, a grounding electrode, and a data acquisition module. The potential distribution is measured using a potentiometer with a position-tracing function when a test current flows to the grounding electrode. Using the simulator, we could clearly analyze the potential distribution for a reduced- scale model by one-eightieth of the buried depth and length of the grounding rod and grounding grid. Once both the shape of the grounding electrode and the fault current are known, the actual potential distribution can be estimated.

Among the high distribution voltage consumers, high-capacity consumers are often applying the grounding resistance method in order to overcome demerits such as erroneous operation of the ground reply or potential increase in the battery at the accident of the isolated neutral system. In this paper, to prevent damage to CLR and GPT in the delay to block the breakdown in the resistance grounded neutral system, this study aims to provide a proper suggestion for continuous rating capacity of GPT to check the appropriateness of CLR size and reduce GPT burden. Thereupon, this study comparatively analyzes CLR current applied in general GPT and the current gained when CLR demanded in the system is used and analyzes the simulated system through simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC in order to suggest GPT's proper continuous rating capacity.

본 논문은 CD형 초전도 케이블을 22.9kV 다중접지 배전계통에 적용한 경우 불평형 지락 고장이 초전도 케이블에 미치는 영향을 검토하고 이로 인한 중성선 전류의 변화 및 계통보호를 위한 대책을 논한다. 3상 CD형 초전도 케이블을 사용하는 경우 귀로선은 전향선과 전류가 반대이면서 거의 동일한 전류가 흐르므로 회로의 인덕턴스를 크게 줄일 수 있지만 이를 위해 회로를 단락하여 운전하는 경우 지락고장시 영상회로가 별도로 존재하지 않으면 지락전류를 저감시키는 결과를 초래하게 되어 계통보호에 영향을 주게 된다. 본 논문은 EMTDC 프로그램을 활용하여 이 현상을 XLPE 케이블 계통과 비교, 모의하는 한편, 정상적인 보호계전기 동작이 가능토록 하는 대책에 대해 논한다.

The substation grounding design,"IEEE Guide for Safety in AC Substation Grounding (ANSI / IEEE Std 80)"has been widely used. Substation grounding design and substation grounding resistance of grounding network site to predict the voltage at the risk of a very important task, which is a ground fault current due to the influx of the ground network and due to rise in the Earth's potential can be applied to human dangerous Voltage within safe tolerances be configured to be the ground because the network. IEEE Std. 80 for the substation construction safety equipment on the ground securing the ground electrode and the mesh around the boundary potential distribution in terms of risk analysis by the touch voltage and the reference was to clean up the definition and the basic steps of the voltage of the voltage limits the risk of peripheral grounding electrode Suppression by the simulator through a new secure from dangerous voltage design techniques were presented.

A street light is an electrical equipment to improve the traffic safety and the security for people in night. However, many accidents due to electric shock have happened in recent, people were interested in the safety of electrical facilities. And people want to know the danger by touch and step voltages. When the electric power lines fall down on the ground, the fault current flows to ground rod and the potential near the ground rod is increased to induce the high touch and step voltages. In this paper, we installed different ground rods with a street light and investigated the electrical potential according to ground methods and the types of ground rod. Finally, we examined the electrical facilities with the experimental result and present the improved technical data for the safety from electric shock

When the ground fault on the power side occurs on distribution system interconnected with distributed generations, the abnormal current is generated in the neutral conductor by the connection type and the iron core structure of transformers for the interconnection of distributed power supplies due to the unbalanced voltage of the system, and subsequently the false operation of the protective relay on the load side occurs. Herein, this paper proposes the method to correct errors in the phase current to prevent the false operation of the protective relay by applying p-q theory and presents the simulation result of the error correction algorithm using PSCAD/EMTDC.

To improve the safety of facilities and human beings when the ground fault occurs, public power utility prescribes the reasonable ground resistances, measures and controls the ground resistance of all the ground electrodes biennially. Concerning the safety of human, there are two safety criteria widely accepted, i.e. the IEEE Std 80-2000 and the IEC 479-1:1994. The IEEE Std 80-2000 is based on a simplified electric shock model usually translated into permissible touch and step voltages. The IEC 479-1:1994 is less specific than IEEE Std 80-2000 for analysis purpose. The IEC 479-1:1994 provides values of permissible body current against electric shock duration. This paper provides a technical study of these two standards to analyze the safety of human beings of ground electrodes developed recently for distribution power system.

Near-fault ground motions are characterized by high values of the ratio between the peak of vertical and horizontal ground accelerations, which can significantly affect the nonlinear response of a base-isolated structure. To check the effectiveness of different base-isolation systems for retrofitting a r.c. framed structure located in a near-fault area, a numerical investigation is carried out analyzing the nonlinear dynamic response of the fixed-base and isolated structures. For this purpose, a six-storey r.c. framed building is supposed to be retrofitted by insertion of an isolation system at the base for attaining performance levels imposed by current Italian code in a high-risk seismic zone. In particular, elastomeric (e.g., high-damping-laminated-rubber bearings, HDLRBs) and friction (e.g., steel-PTFE sliding bearings, SBs, or friction pendulum bearings, FPBs) isolators are considered, with reference to three cases of base isolation: HDLRBs acting alone (i.e., EBI structures); in-parallel combination of HDLRBs and SBs (i.e., EFBI structures); FPBs acting alone (i.e., FPBI structures). Different values of the stiffness ratio, defined as the ratio between the vertical and horizontal stiffnesses of the HDLRBs, sliding ratio, defined as the global sliding force divided by the maximum sliding force of the SBs, and in-plan distribution of friction coefficient for the FPs are investigated. The EBI, EFBI and FPBI base-isolation systems are designed assuming the same values of the fundamental vibration period and equivalent viscous damping ratio. The nonlinear dynamic analysis is carried out with reference to near-fault earthquakes, selected and scaled on the design hypotheses adopted for the test structures.

배전선로에서 지락사고가 발생할 경우 신속한 검출은 감전사고 예방, 전기화재 방지 및 전력설비의 최적 운용에 있어서 중요하다. BEF(Back-fed Earth Fault)는 일종의 배전선로 지락사고로 부하측이 지락되는 경우이며 지락전류가 매우 작기 때문에 전류 검출에 의하여 배전 계통을 보호하기는 어려우나 배전 자동화 지역에서는 UVR(Under Voltage Relay)을 이용하여 보호한다. 그러나 배전 자동화가 되지 않은 지역에서는 UVR에 의해 보호가 불가능하므로 BEF의 특성을 해석하여 경제적으로 BEF를 방지하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 RTDS, EMTP 시뮬레이션, ETSA의 실증 시험 데이터를 비교, 검토하여 기준 영상전류치를 설정하고, 이를 적용하여 측정된 영상 전류와 설정된 기준치를 비교하여 3상-단일 접지 배전 시스템의 정상 상태와 BEF의 구분이 가능한 BEF검출 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 다양한 조건에서 ETSA의 현장 시험에 적용하여 검토한 결과 3상-단일 접지 배전 시스템에서 제안된 BEF 검출 알고리즘의 타당성이 입증되었다. 따라서 본 알고리즘을 적용하여 배전선로를 운용하면 BEF에 의한 재해의 예방이 가능하리라 사료된다.

2008년도 지식경제부의 전망에 의하면 신재생에너지전원 중 풍력발전의 보급전망은 2020년 37%, 2030년 42%에 달하고, 2012년부터 시행 예정인 신재생에너지 의무할당제(Renewable Portfolio Standard-RPS)의 도입으로 태양광 및 풍력 등의 신재생에너지가 향후 지속적으로 배전계통에 연계 운용될 것으로 예상된다. 현재 풍력은 배전계통에 전용선로로 연계되어 계통에 미치는 영향은 미미하지만, 3[MW] 이상의 대규모 풍력발전이 일반 배전선로로 확대 운용되면, 풍력발전 연계용 변압기 및 풍력발전기의 %임피던스에 의한 사고전류 변동으로 보호계전기(OCR, OCGR)의 오 부동작을 야기할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 대표적인 풍력발전기인 이중여자유도발전기(Double-Fed Induction Generator-DFIG)가 고압 배전선로에 연계되어 운전되는 경우, 3상단락, 2선단락 및 1선지락의 사고특성을 분석하기 위하여, 전력계통 상용소프트웨어인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 풍력발전기의 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 수행하고, 대칭좌표법을 통한 이론적인 수치해석의 결과치를 비교/분석하여, 제안한 수법의 유용성을 확인하였다.
