최근 전자계-열계 해석 소프트웨어의 발전에 힘입어 전자계-열계 해석 이론을 바탕으로 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션에 의한 전기화재의 정확한 원인분석과 조사가 체계적으로 연구되고 있으나, 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비닐 평형 코드(600 V, VFF, $2C{\times}$1.25mm^2)을 모델로 하여 과전류시 전류크기에 따른 전선의 온도분포 및 이격거리에 따른 도체 상호간의 힘을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션(Flux2D)을 통하여 계산하며, 또한 직접 제작한 대전류 공급장치(형명 : EHT_EFAD, Korea)을 사용하여 과전류시 전류크기와 공급시간에 따른 도체 상호간의 이격거리에 대하여 실험함으로써 과전류로 인한 전기화재 원인분석 방법에 대하여 제안하고자 한다.

The coordination of directional overcurrent relay (DOCR) is employed in this work, considering gray wolf optimizer (GWO), a recently designed optimizer that employs the hunting and leadership attitude of gray wolves for searching a global optimum. In power system protection coordination problem, the objective function to be optimized is the sum of operating time of all the main relays. The coordination of directional overcurrent relays is formulated as a linear programming problem. The proposed optimization technique aims to minimize the time dial settings (TDS) of the relays. The calculation of the Time Dial Setting (TDS) setting of the relays is the core of the coordination study. In this article two case studies of IEEE 6-bus system and IEEE 30-bus system are utilized to see the efficiency of this algorithm and the results had been compared with the other algorithms available in the reference and it was observed that the proposed scheme is quite competent for dealing with such problems. From analyzing the obtained results, it has been found that the GWO approach provides the most globally optimum solution at a faster convergence speed. GWO has achieved a lot of relaxation due to its easy implementation, modesty and robustness. MATLAB computer programming has been applied to see the effectiveness of this algorithm.

Fault Ride Through(FRT) requirement prevents disconnections of distributed generations during the specific time on disturbance condition for system stability. However, since there is a limitation to the FRT capability of distributed generation, and the protection system needs to clear the fault quickly before the distributed generation is disconnected. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel optimal setting method of directional overcurrent relay considering FRT of distributed generation. The proposed method reduces the probability of disconnections of the distributed generation in disturbance without additional equipment considering the FRT capability of the distributed generation by calculating the optimal relay setting through the Genetic Algorithm(GA).

In 2018, overload, overcurrent, insulation aging, and a contact failure caused 659 electric fires. There is almost no failure of electrical socket outlets during their manufacturing or installation period. After several months or several years, overload or overcurrent of electrical socket outlets leads to a contact failure or short circuit which causes an electric fire. Therefore, this paper analyzed for thermal characteristics based on a current value and the change in insulation resistance along with a temperature rise caused by electrical socket outlets and the state of laboratory use in workplaces. As a results, regarding the thermal characteristics based on the current value of each installation year, a temperature increase was related to a current value, an installation year, and whether the contact unit is corroded. Insulation resistance began to decrease when a temperature increased to a certain level. With a lapse of installation year, the temperature at which insulation resistance began to decrease was lowered. This paper can be applicable for the survey data about electrical socket outlet induced fire accidents and management guidelines.

In south korea, the government make a plan to generate the 20% of the total electrical power as renewable source like wind generation and solar generation. This plan will accelerate the increase of fault current with power industry's growth. As the increase of fault current, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been studied. In case that the SFCL is applied in power system, it can cause the overcurrent relay (OCR)'s trip delay because of the reduced fault current. In this paper, the overcurrent relay with voltage component was suggested to improve the OCR's trip delay caused by the SFCL and compensational constant was introduced to have the trip time similar to the trip time of case without the SFCL. For conforming the effect of the suggested OCR with voltage component, the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation modeling and analysis were conducted. Through the simulation, it was conformed that the trip delay could be improved by using the suggested OCR and compensational constant.

The installation of distributed generation (DG) in the electrical networks has numerous advantages. However, connecting and disconnecting of DGs (CADD) leads to some problems in coordination of protection devices due to the changes in the short circuit levels in the different points of network. In this paper, an adaptive method is proposed based on available setting groups (SG) of relays. Since the number of available SG is less than possible CADD states, a classifying index (CI) is defined to categorize the several states in restricted setting groups. Genetic algorithm (GA) with a suitable objective function (OF) is used as an optimization method for the classification. After grouping, a modified coordination method is applied to achieve optimal coordination for each group. The efficiency of the proposed technique is demonstrated by simulation results.

In this paper, a voltage controller for the seamless transition of a grid-connected inverter for ESS is proposed. The single-phase inverter is operated as a current controller when the grid is connected and as a voltage controller in the stand-alone mode when the grid is disconnected. Generally, in the case of grid recovery, the overcurrent may flow into the system because of the mismatch phase between the inverter output and grid voltages. The proposed controller resolves the overcurrent problem through phase delay problems with initial value feed-forward control of the integrator when the grid voltage is restored. The effects of the control method are simulated through PSIM, and the usefulness of the control method is verified through experiments.

The introduction of the large transformer due to the large power demand has increased the fault current in power distribution system. The increased fault current can exceed the cut-off ratings of the circuit breaker. As the methods to solve this problem, the superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) has been notified. However, the limited fault current by SFCL affects the operational characteristics of the protective device such as overcurrent relay. Therefore, the selection of the proper impedance for the SFCL is required to keep overcurrent relay's protective coordination with the SFCL when a large transformer is introduced into the distribution system. In this paper, the SFCL's impedance for protective coordination was investigates in that a large transformer is introduced.

In the distribution system, Change of system happens frequently. However, most of the relays are operated manually by a person or not changed when system changed. So, when fault happened, a case that relaydoes not act rapidly happens. Also, in current power system, digital relays are used because of digitization of relay. Digital relay has very many advantages than existing analog relay. One of these advantages is that communication is available and easily can make characteristic curve. If specific values are sent to a relay by communication, A relay can make suitable characteristic curve according to the value. In this paper, by using voltages and currents measured by relay, state of CB(Circuit Breaker) and these relays, SCADA(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system that control and correct characteristic curve of overcurrent relay at system change by using HMI(Human Machine Interface) is proposed.
