In this paper, we present 2-step load cycle for daily load curve of up to and including 100kVA distribution transformer in domestic. Daily load patterns are classified by two methods dependent upon possession information. In case we possess daily load profiles make use of K-mean algorithm and in case we have not daily load profiles, make use of customer information of KEPCO. As the parameters of the load pattern classification, we use are daily load profiles and customer information of each distribution transformers. Data management system is used for NT oracle. We can present peak load magnitude, initial load magnitude and peak load duration for daily load patterns by 2-step load cycle for daily load curve of up to and including 100kVA distribution transformer in domestic. We think that this paper contributes to enhancing the distribution transformer overload criterion.

Contamination flashover is responsible for insulator electrical failures. Particularly, in Korea, with its perennially dry spring, the first spring rain often cause serious line outages by forming a conductive liquid film on the insulator surface. Rainwater and fog are not normally conductive but unfortunately atmospheric dust deposited on the insulator surface contains soluble salts which may lead to bad condition of insulation by combining watery and salts. Transmission design engineers have used a contamination map drawn on the traditional paper map. But it is not convenient because it does not include the information of Geographic Information accurately. This paper explains the newly developed salt contamination map program using Geographic Information System, which provide accurate geographic information. The program is designed to use four parts of datum, salt contamination levels, 345kV & 154 kV transmission lines, power plants & substations and background map. The digital background map is composed of raster files, the others are done by vector map.

The oscillation is very dangerous in bundled transmission lines. But we have no data for oscillation phenomena in real transmission lines. In order to develop the control method of the osculation, we need to know the amplitude and relations between winds and other conditions. So we observed and analyzed the oscillation in some 4 bundled lines, which have high failure rate. We try to suggest the oscillation phenomena of the 4 bundled lines. In the future we will try to observe and analyze the oscillation for developing protection methods of transmission lines from the oscillation.

Occurring forest fire or burning bushes beneath overhead transmission lines have caused system disturbances in many countries. In this study, various tests in the simulated condition of power lines were conducted so as to investigate the reduction in insulation strength caused by combustion flame. The results of an experimental investigation into the flashover characteristics of air dielectric strength in the presence of oil flame are reported. It is demonstrated that flame can reduce by more than half, 80% in maximum, the breakdown voltage of a model line.

This paper deals with the development, reliability, specification and performances of the ACSR inner corrosion detector system. It is designed to run on ACSR automatically and to inspect the corrosion of the line with on-line continuously. And it comprises a sensor a constant current source, a signal processing unit, a RF transmitter and receiver unit. Also separable encircling coil sensor is proposed in order to detect inner corrosion of the overhead ground wires. In conclusion, this detector can realize the nondestructive detecting of an ACSR inner corrosion.

A conventional UPS can supply the clean power to the load. However, it may generate input current harmonics and the input power factor can be very poor. Therefore, the UPS itself may be a power interruption. This paper provides multifunctional converter of using single phase UPS. The proposed UPS can supply the clean power to the load without polluting the mains power system. The multi-functional converter provides battery charging, var compensation and harmonic suppression simultaneously. It was simulated to verify this work.

The purpose of this study is to obtain optimum arrangement of phase conductors in minimizing magnetic field from overhead transmission lines. Data of the transmission lines rated 345 kV of the KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Company)'s system were used. For a three phase-double circuit transmission line, low-reactance arrangement is optimum in minimizing magnetic fields. For a three phase-four circuit, optimum phase arrangement is a-b-c-b-a-c(lower two circuits, clockwise)/b-c-a-c-a-b(upper two circuits, clockwise).

This paper describes the analysis of vibration signals of distorted mold transformer. For experiment, the acceleration sensors were adhered on the surface of winding and on the core. The vibration signals measured as variation of control variables were analyzed using data acquisition system. It was shown that the vibration signals of distorted mold transformer were distinguished from those of normal mold transformer.

AMR(Automated Meter Reading) has been considered to solve the lack of meter mem caused by the rise of cost, inefficiency of manual meter reading. Demand forecasting and efficient management of facilities can be accomplished by increasing meter reading efficiency and correcting various data. In this paper, we introduce AMR system using LV PLC in KANG-DONG blanch office of KEPCO.

The Korean nuclear industry is developing a thermal-hydraulic analysis code for safety analysis of pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The new code is called the Safety and Performance Analysis Code for Nuclear Power Plants (SPACE). The SPACE code adopts advanced physical modeling of two-phase flows, mainly two-fluid three-field models which comprise gas, continuous liquid, and droplet fields and has the capability to simulate 3D effects by the use of structured and/or nonstructured meshes. The programming language for the SPACE code is C++ for object-oriented code architecture. The SPACE code will replace outdated vendor supplied codes and will be used for the safety analysis of operating PWRs and the design of advanced reactors. This paper describes the overall features of the SPACE code and shows the code assessment results for several conceptual and separate effect test problems.
