Lightning induced faults accounts for more than 66% at the transmission lines of KEPCO. The lightning causes damages to power system equipments including transmission line, the shut down of electricity and the electro-magnetic interference. Because of this reason, we need the real time lightning information for the optimal operation of power system. And, it is required to obtain and accumulate the lightning current parameters for the insulation design. A lightning detection system, LPATS, has been operated since 1995 in KEPCO. For the improved detection efficiency, we had in stalled the new lightning detection network named as KLDNet in 2005. Also, we had developed the new software for the lightning parameters analysis and real time information service on the WEB. In this paper, we would like to introduce about the new system.

In this paper, we propose a noncoherent On-Off Keying (OOK) Ultra Wide Band (UWB) system based on power detection with noise power calibration for low power applications. The proposed UWB system achieves good bit error rate performance which is favorably comparable to that of the system using the ideal adaptive threshold, while maintaining simple receiver structure, In addition, low power Analog Front-End (AFE) blocks for the proposed noncoherent UWB transceiver are proposed and verified using CMOS technology. Simulation results on the pulse generator, delay time generator and 1-bit Analog-to-Digital (AID) converter show feasibility of the proposed UWB AFE system.

Islanding phenomenon of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power conditioning system (PCS) is said to occur if the PCS continues to power a section of the utility system after that section has been disconnected from the utility source. Since islanding creates hazards for personnel and equipment, PCSs are required to detect and prevent Et. In this paper, several islanding detection methods (IDMs) and reactive power variation method are described. Islanding test results for 9kW PCS are presented for verification.

This paper describes the implementation of three-phase three-wire active power filter system with a instantaneous PSD for distorted and unbalanced power conditions. The positive sequence voltage of the distorted and the unbalanced power system is calculated by the Instantaneous PSD, and phase transformation matrix of the instantaneous power theory is achieved with detected positive sequence voltage. Finally, the proposed method is experimented and tested under unbalanced nonlinear load as well as unbalanced /distorted condition in power system.

In this paper, a fault section detection method is proposed for ungrounded system in the case of a single line-to-ground fault. A conventional method is used for faulted feeder selection according to the angular relationship between zero-sequence currents of the feeders and zero-sequence voltage of the system. Fault section detection is based on the comparison of phase angle of zero-sequence current. Proposed method has been testified in a demo system by Matlab/Simulink simulations. Based on Distribution Automation System(DAS), Feeder Remote Terminal Unit(FRTU) is used to collect those necessary data, at present a demo system is under developing using Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) in IEC61850 standard.

A Power Management System(PMS), which provides the functions of automatic detection and cutoff of home appliances' standby power without user intervention, is presented in this paper. A client in this system measures the power consumption of a home appliance plugged in it and transmits the information to a server in real-time over a wireless network. The server analyzes the features of the power consumption of home appliances and detects if any home appliance consumes standby power. The detected standby power information is used to create the information of the home appliance and to build a database, which will finally offer the automatic detection and cutoff of the standby power without any configuration through user intervention.

Islanding detection is one of the most important issues for the distributed generation (DG) systems connected to the power grid. The conventional passive islanding detection methods inherently have a non-detection zone (NDZ), and active islanding detection methods may deteriorate the power quality of a power system. This paper proposes a novel hybrid islanding detection method based on Digital Lock-In Amplifier with no NDZ by monitoring the harmonics present in the grid. Proposed method detects islanding by passively monitoring the grid voltage harmonics and verify it by injecting small perturbation for only three-line cycles. Unlike FFT for the harmonic extraction, DLA HC have lower computational burden, moreover, DLA can monitor harmonic in real time, whereas, FFT has certain propagation delay. The simulation results are presented to highlight the effectiveness of the proposed technique. In order to prove the performance of the proposed method it is compared with several passive islanding detection methods. The experimental results confirm that the proposed method exhibits outstanding performance as compared to the conventional methods.

This paper introduces wavelets and shows that they may be efficient and useful for the detection of general faults in power system. The wavelet transform of a signal consists in measuring the "similarity" between the signal and a set of translated and scaled versions of a "mother wavelet". The "mother wavelet" is a chosen fast decaying oscillation function. A number of mother wavelet for signal analysis have been proposed and some of them are in use in fault detection. However, the performance of fault detection depend on used mother wavelet. In the present paper a comparative evaluation of different mother wavelets for low impedance fault detection is performed. The discussion is focused in well-known mother wavelet based wavelet transform. Several families of wavelets are used to analyse transient earth fault signals in a 345kV model system as generated by EMTP.

Unintentional islanding results in safety hazards, reliability, and many other issues. Therefore, the islanding detection of a power conditioning system of a distributed generation, such as a grid-connected photovoltaic inverter, is a key function for standard compliance. Currently, many anti-islanding schemes have been examined, but existing anti-islanding schemes have poor power quality and non-detection zone issues. Therefore, this study analyzes the non-detection zone in a more deliberate manner than the existing analysis of the non-detection zone and proposes a new anti-islanding scheme, which has negligible power quality degradation and no non-detection zone. Simulation and experimental results validate that the proposed scheme shows much better performance than other existing schemes.
