A Dual rotor turbines HAWT/VAWT combined wind turbine system that can drastically enhance the power production capability compared to conventional Single Rotor Turbine HAWT system. The combined system that takes advantage of strong point of both horizontal and vertical Axis wind turbine system developed by a venture firm : KOWINTEC of Chonbuk National University. The HAWT/VAWT hybrid system has been successfully field tested and commercial operation since Feb. 12, 2001 in Hae-chang rest park, Bu-an county near the Sae Man-Kum Sea Dike. This paper will briefly describe the field test results performance and a special aerodynamic structure with bevel-planetary gear box of Dual Rotor Wind Turbine system.

Novel concept of shunt active filter (AF) function added in Photovoltaic (PV) generation system is described in this paper. So far, for the PV generation system has been treated as one of harmonic sources to the power distribution systems, not only a PV system combined with AF but also AF systems using PV module as their power source have never been discussed. The basic structure and control strategy of the PV-AF system are, for the first time, introduced in this work. In order to stabilize the output current of voltage source inverter (VSI), the reference voltage MPPT control is applied. Simulation analysis shows that it is possible to combine AF function to the three-phase grid-connected PV generation system without any physical difficulties, and the performance of the proposed PV-AF system is acceptable and stable as well.

The fundamental digital control of utility-connected PV inverter are presented with detailed analysis and simulation and experimental results. PLL controller using virtual two phase detector, current controller of DC-DC converter, dc link voltage controller and inverter current controller are discussed. The novel PLL controller using virtual two phase detector can detect the information of utility voltage instantaneously and is not sensitive to the noise. Current controller of DC-DC converter, dc link voltage controller and inverter current controller are the conventional methods. We have constructed utility-Connected PV Inverter and applied to those controllers. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate an excellent performance in the single-phase grid-connected operation.

To invigorate the tapped-inductor boost (TIB) topology in emerging high step-up applications for off-grid products, a lossless snubber consisting of two capacitors and three diodes is proposed. Since the switch voltage stress is minimized in the proposed circuit, it is allowed to use a device with a lower cost, higher efficiency, and higher availability. Moreover, since the leakage inductance is fully utilized, no effort to minimize it is required. This allows for a highly productive and cost-effective design of the tapped-inductor. The proposed circuit also shows a high step-up ratio and provides relaxation of the switching loss and diode reverse-recovery. In this paper, the operation is analyzed in detail, the steady-state equation is derived, and the design considerations are discussed. Some experimental results are provided to confirm the validity of the proposed circuit.

A power distribution facility map is composed of distribution facility information regions, cadastral regions and grid lines. In this map, our goal is automatic interpretation of power distribution region. For the goal, it is the first work to extract the power distribution facility region. In this paper, we propose a method to extract power distribution facility regions. The proposed method is consist of two phases, binarization phase and extending phase. The first phase generate a power distribution facility image using threshold value. The image contains many part of power distribution facility regions, but not all. The second phase extends thinned image which is generated by appling thinning operator to the power distribution facility image.

본 논문에서는 실내환경에서 얻어진 격자 지도(grid map)상의 장애물 정보의 표현을 간략화 시키는 방법에 대하여 논하였다. 여기서 기본이 되는 격자 지도의 장애물 정보는 초음파 센서를 이용하여 얻어졌다고 가정하였다. 그리고 생성된 장애물 정보를 직선 성분으로 간단히 표현하여 저장될 정보의 양을 줄이는 변환 방법들인 체인 코드(chain code)와 호프 변환(Hough transform)에 대하여 논하였다. 그리고, 논의된 방법의 유효성을 증명하기 위하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션에 의한 결과를 제시하였으며, 단점들에 대한 앞으로의 연구 방향을 제시 하였다.

In recent, the importance and necessity of some studies on reliability evaluation of grid comes from the recent black-out accidents occurred in the world. The quantity evaluation of transmission system reliability is very important under competitive electricity environment. The reason is that the successful operation of electric power under the deregulated electricity market depends on transmission system reliability management. This paper introduces features and operation modes of the Transmission Reliability Evaluation for Large-Scale Systems(TRELSS) Version 5_1, a program made in EPRI, for assessing reliability indices of composite power system. The package accesses not only bulk but also buses indices for reliability evaluation of composite powers system. The characteristics of the TRELSS program are illustrated by the case studies using the IEEE 25buses system.

When generators trip on the occurrence of disturbance, the power system frequency declines by the amount of difference between demand and supply due to the imbalance between power generation and load. Even though the power system is operated with the same grid structure, generating capacity, and load, the resulting frequency decline and its recovery slope show different aspects according to the inertia constants of generators, spinning reserves, and the speed adjusting rates at the governors. From this point of view, we analysed differences of frequency decline at the various conditions in domestic power system.

This paper describes the effect of the interconnected wind turbine generators on fault current level of distribution networks. Distributed generator(DG) interconnected with grid can supply the power into a power network not only the normal conditions, but also the fault conditions of distribution network. If the fault happened in the distribution power line with DG, the fault current level measured in a relaying point might be higher than that of distribution network without wind turbine generator due to the contribution of wind farm. Consequently, it may destroy the conventional protective devices applied in the distribution network with DG. Simulation results shows that the current level of fault happened in the power line with DG depends on the power output of DG.
