This paper proposes the planning method for placement of capacitors in a distribution system. The main objectives in the planning for capacitor allocation are the reduction of installation costs and electric power loss. In the proposed method, the life time of each device is considered in calculating installation costs, and the optimal operation status of devices is found by genetic algorithm. Then, the optimal numbers and locations are determined based on the optimal operation status. Simulation results in the 69-bus distribution system show that the proposed method performs better than conventional methods.

이 논문은 변전소 환경에서 LTC, S.C, FACTS 간의 협조제어를 통한 전압 profile 개선을 논한다. 변전소 자체 내의 전압-무효전력 제어기기인 LTC, S.C 이외에도 현재에는 더 나은 전력전송과 전압안정을 위해 FACTS를 설치하는 경우가 늘고 있기 때문에 위의 3가지기기에 대한 협조제어 알고리즘에 대한 필요성은 점차 증대된다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 3가지 기기들의 협조제어를 통해서 전압 profile 개선에 관하여 연구하였으며 그러한 연구들은 Hypersim(real-time simulator) 기반에서 수행하였다.

국가차원의 신 재생에너지 활성화 방안에 따라 태양광, 풍력발전 등의 대규모 분산전원 단지의 도입이 이루어지고 있으며, 현재 배전계통의 전압조정 방법은 배전용 변전소의 부하시 탭 절환기(Under Load Tap Changer, 이하 ULTC)와 배전선로의 선로전압조정장치(Step Voltage Regulator, 이하 SVR)로 수용가에 규정전압(220${\pm}$6%)을 만족시키는 전압을 공급한다. 하지만 대규모의 태양광, 풍력 등의 분산 전원이 배전계통에 도입되는 경우, 전력품질[과전압/저전압]의 문제가 발생된다. 본 논문에서는 부하율에 따라 변화된 LDC 정정치를 적용 및 시뮬레이션을 통한 수용가 직하 및 말단의 규정전압(220${\pm}$6%) 즉 207V이하의 저전압, 233V이상의 과전압 여부를 검증함으로써 전력품질을 유지 할 수 있는 태양광전원이 연계된 배전계통의 최적전압운용 알고리즘을 개발하였다.

최근 생활수준의 향상과 정보통신 산업의 급속한 발전으로 인하여 전세계적으로 전력품질에 대한 관심이 높아져, 각종 전력품질 개선장치로부터 최적 공급시스템에 이르기까지 다양한 각도에서 전력품질을 향상하기 위한 연구개발이 수행되고 있으며, 특히 정보통신기기 및 정밀제어기기 등의 보급증가로 전압품질에 대한 관심이 높아져가고 있다. 지금까지 배전계통의 전압관리는 배 전용변전소 ULTC(Under Load Tap Changer)와 고압배전선로의 주상변압기에 의해 조정되어 왔으며 최근에 고압배전선로의 전압강하가 5%를 초과하는 선로에 대한 효율적 전압관리를 위해 선로전압조정장치(SVR- Step Voltage Regulator)가 도입되고 있다. 그러나 배 전용변전소와 고압배전선로의 선로전압 조정장치가 서로 독립적으로 운용되고 있기 때문에 선로전압조정장치의 효율성이 떨어지고 있는 실정이다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 배 전용변전소와 선로전압조정장치의 ULTC 송출전압의 최적 전압조정을 위한 협조운용 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

The increasing of wind power penetration level presents challenges in classical optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) which is usually formulated as a deterministic optimization problem. This paper proposes a two-stage stochastic programming model for ORPD by considering the uncertainties of wind speed and load in a specified time interval. To avoid the excessive operation, the schedule of compensators will be determined in the first-stage while accounting for the costs of adjusting the compensators (CACs). Under uncertainty effects, on-load tap changer (OLTC) and generator in the second-stage will compensate the mismatch caused by the first-stage decision. The objective of the proposed model is to minimize the sum of CACs and the expected energy loss. The stochastic behavior is formulated by three-point estimate method (TPEM) to convert the stochastic programming into equivalent deterministic problem. A hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Interior Point Method is utilized to solve this large-scale mixed-integer nonlinear stochastic problem. Two case studies on IEEE 14-bus and IEEE 118-bus system are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This study proposes a voltage and reactive coordinative control strategy with distributed generator (DG) in a distribution power system. The aim is to determine the optimum dispatch schedules for an on-load tap changer (OLTC), distributed generator settings and all shunt capacitor switching on the load and DG generation profile in a day. The proposed method minimizes the real power losses and improves the voltage profile using squared deviations of bus voltages. The results indicate that the proposed method reduces the real losses and voltage fluctuations and improve receiving power factor. This paper proposes coordinated voltage and reactive power control methods that adjust optimal control values of capacitor banks, OLTC, and the AVR of DGs by using a voltage sensitivity factor (VSF) and dynamic programming (DP) with branch-and-bound (B&B) method. To avoid the computational burden, we try to limit the possible states to 24 stages by using a flexible searching space at each stage. Finally, we will show the effectiveness of the proposed method by using operational cost of real power losses and voltage deviation factor as evaluation index for a whole day in a power system with distributed generators.

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.

We have proposed a 100 MVA, 3 phases, 154 kV class HTS transformer which will substitute for 60 MVA conventional transformer. In this paper, we designed conceptually the structure of the superconducting windings of a single phase 33 MVA transformer. The power transformer of 154 kV class has a tertiary winding besides primary and secondary windings. So the HTS transformer should have the 3rd superconducting winding, it makes the cost of the HTS transformer high and the efficiency low. Further more we considered On Load Tap Changer (OLTC) in HTS power transformer. OLTC equipment is required for fitting to a power transformer by which the voltage ratio between the windings can be varied while the transformer is on load. We analyzed the electrical characteristics of the HTS transformer such as magnetic stress and AC loss.

The small-scaled onsite generators such as photovoltaic power, wind power, biomass and fuel cell belong to decarbonization techniques. In general, these generators tend to be connected to utility systems, and they are called distributed generations (DGs) compared with conventional centralized power plants. However, DGs may impact on stabilization of utility systems, which gets utility into trouble. In order to reduce utility's burdens (e.g., investment for facilities reinforcement) and accelerate DG introduction, the advanced operation algorithms under the existing utility systems are urgently needed. This paper presents the advanced voltage regulation method in power systems since the sending voltage of voltage regulators has been played a decisive role restricting maximum installable DG capacity (MaxC_DG). For the proposed voltage regulation method, the difference from existing voltage regulation method is explained and the detailed concept is introduced in this paper. MaxC_DG estimation through case studies based on Korean model network verifies the superiority of the proposed method.
