As the scale of industries expands, the facilities of the industrial customer become larger and more complex. When a fault occurs in the system, the circuit breakers play an important role in minimizing causalitites by quickly tripping the faulted line. Since the capacity of the receiving-end has increased in size, an examination is needed to be performed between the industrial customers and the conventional circuit breakers. The transient recovery voltage, which is the initial transient characteristics of the voltage across the breaker when tripped, is an important factor in determining the circuit breaker's performance. In this paper, a TRV analysis on the large-scale industrial customer is being performed utilizing PSCAD/EMTDC.

This paper presents a method for the development of the impedance locus to test the dynamic characteristics of protective relays. Specifically, using the proposed method, the impedance locus can comprise three impedance points, and the speed of impedance trajectory can be adjusted by frequency deviation. This paper is divided into two main sections. The first section deals with the configuration of impedance locus with voltage magnitude, total impedance magnitude, and impedance angle. The second section discusses the control of the locus speed with the means of the deviation between two frequencies. The proposed method is applied to two machine equivalent systems with offline simulation (i.e., PSCAD) and real-time simulation (i.e., real-time simulation environment) to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Protection system is important part in distribution system. Protection system in power systems can fail either by not responding when they should(failure to operate) or by operating when they should not(false tripping). Customers has dissatisfied that due to the failure of protection system. The reliability of distribution system also has influenced. However, the failure of protection system can reduced by the maintenance. This paper has focused on malfunction of protection system. The approach is based on Markov models.

계통의 외란 발생 시 분산 전원은 계통에서 분리되어야 한다. 이는 주로 주파수와 전압의 변동을 이용해서 수행된다. 그렇지만 인접선 고장 발생 시 주 연계선의 고장과 매우 유사한 전압이 나타나기 때문에 보호계전기는 오동작 할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 인접선 고장 시 분산전원과 연계선 보호 계전기의 오동작에 대하여 분석하였다. 우선 전압 변동 시 분산 전원의 분리 시간에 대하여 검토하였다. 그 다음으로 EMTP를 이용하여, 계통 및 분산 전원으로 동기 발전기를 모델링하였다. 또한, 인접선 및 주 연계선에서 다양한 고장을 모의하여 보호 계전기의 오동작 여부에 대하여 분석하였다.

The paper presents a monitoring system for the cooling of distribution transformers. The suggested system is controlled by a microcontroller scheme. The system is designed to control the oil temperature. It gives a solution to improve the cooling system by adding a number of fans especially for indoor transformers that are placed in badly-ventilated rooms. Also, the paper includes an alarm system with the possibility of tripping the transformer if it is necessary. The monitoring system consists of acquisition temperature sensor, and on-site unit. The hardware and software of the on-site unit are demonstrated with sufficient illustrations. Small prototype is constructed in the laboratory. Some laboratory experiments are carried out for examining the designed circuit by using Proteus Virtual System Modeling as well as for testing the prototype monitoring system. Concerning this research point, a study is carried out to evaluate the economic feasibility. The results are recorded and associated with many recommendations that may be valuable to electrical distribution (utility) companies.

Maloperation of protective relays is one of the major causes for cascading tripping in WANS. Another line trip followed by a previous line trip may occur due to overloading of the line, because of the load redistribution or unwanted trip of a backup relay due to change in the flow of fault current. Evaluation of each line is required by considering both of these effects. A new index named Line Security Index (LSI) is proposed in this paper which combines both Vulnerability Index (VI) and Protectability Index (PI) to completely evaluate the security of individual lines and their importance in the power grid. Computer simulations have been performed on the Korean power grid data to establish the feasibility of the proposed idea.

This paper presents topics on transient stability enhancement at a large capacity generation station in Korea. The reinforcement of the transmission lines, generation tripping and reactive compensation are considered as alternative to improve transient stability. Comparative study results show characteristics of each alternative.

This paper presents a framework for determining control strategies against unwanted tripping actions of relay operation that plays a very important role in cascading events leading to voltage collapse. The framework includes an algorithm for quick identification of possible zone 3 relay operation during voltage instability. The proposed approach comes up with control strategy of load shedding at the selected location with active power and relay margin criteria. In addition, Quasi Steady-State (QSS) simulation is employed to obtain time-related information which is valuable for both the timing and amount of control. The methodology is demonstrated through the modified New England 39-bus system.

In this study, we have developed the resistive leakage current detecting and tripping circuit breaker based on a 32bit ARM processor. The developed leakage circuit breaker can be operated in a desired trip threshold within 0.03 seconds as specified in KS C 4613. This resistive leakage current breaker is expected to be applicable as a circuit breake for prevention of electric fires and electric shock in smart distribution panel.
