When two adjacent AC systems operate at different frequency such as 50Hz and 60Hz, as in the case of ROK and Russia, the only way to practically obtain the advantages of power system interconnection is to use HVDC connection. In this paper, application of the VSC-HVDC transmission for power system interconnection between Russia and ROK is evaluated through the PSCAD/EMTDC modeling and analysis. The simulation results show the feasibility of proposed system for cross border power system interconnection.

The study on Wholesale pricing of MVNO using two way interconnection charge system is rare. This paper considers MVNO possessing its own facilities and subscribers. While previous studies focus on wholesale provision by MNO, this paper employs another approach from existing MVNO model. This paper introduces two way interconnection charge system by recognizing that mobile network interconnection is important to complete the call from MNO to MVNO as well as the call from MVNO to MNO. Also it is interesting to analyze wholesale pricing when there is brand loyalty between MNO and MVNO. This paper analyzes retail pricing and wholesale pricing under duopoly competition and drives social optimal solutions using linear city model.

This paper presents the modeling, control and simulation of an interconnection system (ICS) of cascaded distributed generation (DG) modules for both grid-tied and stand-alone operations. The overall configuration of the interconnection system is given. The interconnection system consists of a cascaded DC/DC boost converters and a DC/AC inverter. Detailed modeling of the interconnection system incorporating a cascaded architecture has not been considered in previous research. In this paper, suitable control systems for the cascaded architecture of power electronic converters in an interconnection system have been studied and modeled in detail. A novel control system for DC/DC boost converters is presented based on a droop voltage controller. Also, a novel control strategy for DC/AC inverters based on the average large signal model to control the aggregated DG modules under both grid-tied and stand-alone modes is demonstrated. Simulation results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed control systems.

Interconnection of electric power systems, as an alternative for energy cooperation under regional economic bloc, has been under extensive debate before progressing the restructure in electric power industry and rapidly expanded in many regions after 1990s. Especially, since northeast asia has strong supplementation in resource, load shape, fuel mix etc., electric power system interconnection in this region may bring considerable economic benefits. In this paper, we evaluate economic benefits from CO2 emission abatement and effectiveness on the fuel mix in Korea by the interconnection in northeast asia. For this analysis, we evaluate effects of CO2 emission abatement under various system interconnection scenarios and compare the results of fuel mix in Korean electric power system with and without transacted electricity via interstate electric power system in northeast asia.

The number of wind generation installations are growing substantially in Jeju, Korea. Many of these installations are significant in size and directly connected to the distribution system. Utility grid interconnection standards for interconnecting non-utility distributed generation systems are essential to both power system company and generation company. These interconnection standards are important to utilities, customers, wind generation manufactures and nation. In this paper, it is investigated the voltage quality and the suitability of Jeju-Hangwon wind power generation farm by network interconnection technology standard.

Frequency is the unique physical value for all the interconnected systems. Therefore. the load frequency control is in the responsibility of all members in the interconnection power unbalance in one of the interconnected system can cause the problems in others. In the following text a brief description and the role of frequency in an interconnected system will be presented. Following is the short description of the Balkan Interconnection (UCTE Second Synchronous Zone) with schematic diagram. A Power-Frequency (P-f) dynamic model of a control area wil1 be shown. Model gives the analytical solution for frequency change versus a time after outage of a generator in the power system. This model will be applied to the Balkan Interconnection and compared with numerical approach. Advantages and drawbacks of the analytical method will be discussed Purpose of using this model is to investigate if the pumps in reversible hydropower plant will be underfrequency shed after the outage of the biggest generator unit in the interconnection, according %o (n-1) security postulate.

The demand of Small Self-generating System (SSS) including Small Cogeneration System (SCS) is constantly increasing with the need of electricity and/or thermal in office, hospital, hotel, and small factory, etc. It is especially recommended to operate SCS in the heat-following mode to maximize the efficiency of generator. In case of the heat-following mode SCS has got to be connected to distribution system so as to send surplus power to the utility or receive the short power from utility. But the interconnection of SSS with distribution system causes a few problems such as the bad power quality, and low security. If SSS is not promptly disconnected after faults occur (Islanding of SSS), it can not only damage equipment of utility and adjacent customers but also endanger life of human due to overvoltage or overcurrent. In this paper it has been deeply discussed if interconnection of engine self-generator/control system satisfies the protective requirement for SSS or not. 500 kW engine generator running in the Jodo island has been used to perform the analysis of interconnection.

A design method of decentralized state observer for large scale interconnected systems is proposed by the use of interconnection rejection approach and interconnection modelling technique. The proposed design method is developed based on the interconnection partitioning. Therefore partitioning conditions are suggested. And the conditions for observer pole assignment and observer parameter determination procedures are described for possible interconnection patterns. The decentralized state observer gives good estimates without any information on the interconnection variables and estimations. In addition, a numerical example is given to explain the design procedures and to show the estimation performance of the decentralized observer.

Interstate electric power system, as an alternative for energy cooperation under regional economic block, has been hotly debated before progressing the restructure in electric power industry and rapidly expanded in many regions after 1990s. Especially, since northeast asia has strong supplementation in resource, load shape, fuel mix etc., interconnection of electric power systems in this region may bring considerable economic benefits. This paper implements a mathematical optimization model, ORIRES, proposed by Russia, in analysing the economic feasibility of system interconnection. Additional analyses on the environmental impact of the system interconnection, and sensitivity of key factor inputs have been performed.

This paper discusses the evaluation of interconnection capacity of small cogeneration(SCOGN) systems to the power distribution systems from the viewpoint of voltage regulation. Power utilities are required to keep the customers' voltage profile over a feeder close to the rated value under all load conditions. However, it is expected that the interconnection of SCOGNs to the power distribution systems impacts on the existing voltage regulation method and customers' voltage variations. Therefore, SCOGNs should be integrated to the automated power distribution systems to prevent interconnection problems and supply high quality electricity to the customers. For these reasons, we should proceed with the evaluation of interconnection capacity of SCOGNs to the power distribution systems. However, it is generally impossible to perform actual testing on the power distribution systems, and standardized methodologies and guidelines are not developed to evaluate it. The criterion indexes for voltage regulation and variations are presented in order to evaluate the interconnection capacity of SCOGNs to the power distribution systems. In addition, the evaluation methodology of interconnection capacity of SCOGNs for power distribution systems is presented. It is expected that the resulted of this paper are useful for power system planners to determine the interconnection capacity of SCOGNs and dispersed storage and generation (DSG) systems to the power distribution systems.
