In operation of distribution system, $DG_s$ Distributed Generations) are installed as an alternative of extension and establishment of substations and transmission and distribution lines according to increasing power demand. In operation planning of $DG_s$, determining optimal capacity and allocation gets economical pro(it and improves power reliability. This paper proposes determining a optimal number, size and allocation of $DG_s$ needed to minimize operation cost of distribution system. Capacity of $DG_s$ (or economical operation of distribution system estimated by the load growth and line capacity during operation planning duration, DG allocations are determined to minimize total cost with power buying cost. operation cost of DG, loss cost and outage cost using GA(Genetic Algorithm).

This paper deals with implementation of inverter systems for DC power regeneration, which can regenerate the excessive DC power from DC bus line to AC supply in substations for traction systems. From the viewpoint of both power capacity and switching losses, a three-phase square-wave inverter system is adopted. To control the regenerated power, the magnitude and phase of fundamental output voltages should be appropriately controlled in spite of the variation of input DC voltage. Inverters are operated with modified a-conduction mode to fix the potential of each arm. The overall system consists of the line-to-line voltage and line current sensors, an actual power calculator using d-q transformation method, a complex power controller with PI control scheme, a gating signal generator for modified $\alpha-conduction\;mode\;with\;\delta\;and\;\alpha$, a DPLL for frequency followup, and power circuit.

This paper presents a fault diagnosis expert system for 765kV substation. The proposed system includes the topology processor and intelligent alarm processing subsystems. This expert system estimates the fault section through the inference process using heuristic knowledge and the output of topology processor and intelligent alarm processing system. The rule-base of this expert system is composed of basic rules suggested by Korea Electric Power Corporation and heuristic rules. This expert system is developed using PROLOG language. Also, user friendly Graphic User Interface is developed using visual basic programming in the windows XP environment. The proposed expert system showed a promising performance through the several case studies.

This paper presents a special protection scheme, which was established in the KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) system, against a critically low voltage profile in a part of the system after a double-circuit tower outage. Without establishing the scheme, the outage triggers the operation of a zone 3 relay and trips the component. This sequence of events possibly leads to a blackout of the local system. The scheme consists of an inter-substation communication network using PITR (Protective Integrated Transmitter and Receiver) for acquisition of the substations' data, and under-voltage load shedding devices. This paper describes the procedure for determining the load shedding in the scheme and the experiences of the implementation.

EMTP-RV is the very powerful program to analyze the dynamic operation of the power system. To use this package in the large complex power system, it is very important to simplify the power system to simple equivalent network. In our study the 100 MVA STATCOM is placed at 345kV "MIGUM" which is the one of the 345kV substations of the Korean Electric Power System that is consist of more than 1000 bus. MIGUM substation is connected with 7 separated transmission lines to main Korean Electric power system. We developed a new method to simplify the network except the substation that we want to analysis. The power system outside the 345kV substation is modeled into the equivalent network. The loop network outside the substation can be modeled to simplified Thevenin equivalent network. The proposed method is applied to IEEE-14 Reliability Test System and the results shows the effectiveness of the method.

This paper deals with power integration of large urban railway systems for improvement of regenerative energy utilization. The main idea of this paper is that the integration of railway power systems will increase efficiency through sharing regenerative energy. To verify the effects of this system, case studies for Seoul Metro Line has been performed. Where railway data of Seoul Subway Line 5 and Line 7 are used. In this work, the integrated railway system is modelled using Compaq Visual Fortran.

This paper deals with the voltage amplitude control in inverter systems which can regenerate the excessive DC power from DC bus line to AC supply in substations for traction systems. To maintain the magnitude of output fundamental voltage constant in spite of the variation of input DC voltage inverters are operated in symmetrical $\alpha$-conduction mode with the range of $120^{\circ}$<$\alpha$<$180^{\circ}$ To match the output voltage of the inverter systems with AC supply voltage harmonic reduction techniques are also investigated. Computer simulations are carried out to verify the validity of the proposed systems.

Preventive diagnostic system for power transformer prevents the sudden power failure through monitoring of abnormal symptoms. KEPCO has adopted the preventive diagnostic system at nine 345kV substations since 1997. Application techniques of the diagnostic sensors were settled, but diagnostic algorithm and practical use of accumulated data are not yet established. To build up the diagnostic algorithm and effective use of the preventive diagnostic system, the reliability of the data accumulated in a server computer is very important. Therefore, this paper describes problem when apply system to substation and solution way to improve reliability of the system

Methods and analysis of a simple wireless sensor concept for detecting and locating faults as well as for load monitoring are presented. The concept is based on distributed wireless sensors that are attached to the incoming and outgoing power lines of secondary substations. A sensor measures only phase current characteristics of the wire it is attached to, is not synchronized to other sensors and does not need configuration of triggering levels. The main novelty of the concept is in detecting and locating faults by combining power distribution network characteristics on system level with low power sampling methods for individual sensors. This concept enables the sensor design to be simple, energy efficient and thus applicable in new installations and for retrofit purposes in both overhead and underground electrical distribution systems.
