This paper presents the study results of four transmission methods to enchance transmission capability. The four transmission methods studied were FACTS, HVDC, High Phase Order and new conductor material method. The study was Performed based on mid and long term KEPCO system in 2000 and 2006 year. Among them FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission System) is an exciting new field which holds great promise for improved utilization of AC transmission systems.

SF₆ is used as an insulating gas because of its excellent electrical insulation properties, non-toxicity, and non-inflammability. On the other hand, the global warming potential of SF₆ is 23,900 times higher than that of CO₂. The Korea electric power cooperation (KEPCO) is responsible for 80% of the domestic SF₆ usage, and approximately 6,000 tons are currently charged in electrical and power facilities. KEPCO will gradually replace the insulating gas with SF₆-free gas from 2023. SF₆ decomposition facilities are required because more than 60 tons of SF₆ will need to be disposed of annually from existing equipment. This study developed a novel decomposition and pollution control system that can process 60 tons of SF₆ per year. This facility can decompose more than 97.7% of SF₆, with the emissions of hazardous and toxic materials below the legal limit.

Prepare a lose of 765kV transmission route in power system operation condition, there are some Special Protection Scheme(SPS)s in Korean power system. These SPS can make some preselected generators are tripped to avoid generator overspeed. Because of many of the new large power plants are installed to existing power generation sites due to the siting problem, the number of generator tripped by SPS should be increased. But that can be a cause of system frequency change under the Under Frequency Relay(UFR) 1st pickup level 59.0Hz. Therefore generation constraint should be considered until new transmission lines are installed. In this paper, we propose the ESS application for generation constraint mitigation by frequency damping control of ESS. To analysis an effect of ESS application, we use PSS/E dynamic simulation tool, CBEST model and controller model. The proposed ESS application is applied to the empirical Korean power system.

계량데이터 관리 시스템은 수용가에서 검침된 계량데이터를 수집하고 관리하는 시스템이다. 이 시스템에는 검침된 데이터의 오검침과 유효성을 판단하는 검증과 누락된 검침값이나 오검침으로 판단된 구간값을 추정하는 VEE 알고리즘이 있다. 그러나 기존의 VEE 알고리즘은 현장 데이터의 특성을 반영하지 않고 검증하고 추정하기 때문에 그만큼 신뢰성과 정확도가 낮아지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 검증 신뢰성과 추정 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있는 차세대 VEE 알고리즘을 제안한다.

In this paper, the change history of various types of MV (Medium Voltage) cables was investigated. In addition, the statistical life expectancy of each type was calculated by using the operation data and the failure data. For cut-off year, 10 years was applied, and realistically applicable statistical life expectancy was calculated by correcting the cause of failure entered by mistake. The life expectancy of FR-CNCO-W was calculated as 51.2 years, CNCV-W 38.1 years, and CNCV 31.4 years and the overall average is 33.8 years. Currently, the life expectancy of TR CNCV-W is 29.4 years, but it is estimated that the lifespan will be extended if failure data is accumulated. As a result, it is expected that life expectancy results can be applied to Asset Management System (AMS) in the future.

The operation of Back-To-Back HVDC system for asynchronous connection is described. It can exchange electric power up to 300 MW between separately operated two rower systems, making the interaction on each system minimum. The analysis is done under three different AC transmission lines interconnected to BTB HVDC.

This paper presents the study results of FACTS application effect for transmission capability Enhancement. In a study of the application of series and shunt compensation to the mid and long term KEPCO system in 2000 and 2006 year, it was concluded that the successful application of FACTS would ve capable of controlling power flow in KEPCO system with incr eased transfers without exceeding existing thermal and dynamic stability limits.

Due to safety of the plant, it became very clear the importance of study occurrence reactor coolant system (RCS) issues specially the primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC). The Systems Engineering (SE) approach is characterized by the application of a structured engineering methodology for the design of a complex system or component. Robotic devices have been used for internal inspection, maintenance and performing remote welding and inspection in high-radiation areas. In this paper, PWSCC overview and inlay and over lay welding methodology introduced, concept of robotic device that can be inserted into the piping via Steam Generator (SG) main way to access to primary piping of pressurized water reactor (PWR) is developed based on SE methodology. A 3D model of the inspection system was developed along with the APR1400 (Advanced Power Reactor)reactor coolant systems (RCS) and internals with virtual 3D simulation of the operation for visualization to prove the validity of the concept.

KEPCO is faced with a number of network choice for Distribution Automation System(DAS), such as Power Line, Pair. Coaxial and Optical Cable, etc. The increasing use of DAS requires suitable communication networks. KEPCO has exhausted much efforts to implement its own standard DAS in possible early date. This paper presents the DAS in KEPCO and some of initial design efforts toward KEPCO's DAS at KEPRI.

Performance evaluation of a plant to efficiently manage and maintain the performance of the plant is a very important procedure. However, since the conventional performance evaluation method is an Excel-based manual method, the preparation procedure is complicated and the versatility is poor. In this paper, we analyze the problems of the existing performance evaluation system, effectively model the equipment, calculate the missing physical properties, and improve the versatility, efficiency and accuracy of the performance evaluation through the equipment modeler which performs automatic index calculation based on this.
