The controversy over the risk of the human body being affected by electromagnetic fields emitted from 60 Hz power lines continues without end. There are currently no new studies or research progress being made in this direction that is notable, and the number of civil complaints is gradually increasing. The problem is that each study produces different results, among which the effect of exposure to magnetic fields on childhood leukemia is a major one. In Korea, an electrician who was maintaining a 22.9 kV power line died of leukemia, which has recently been recognized as an occupational disease. Methods to reduce magnetic fields from power lines include shielding with wire loops, incorporating split phases and compaction techniques, installing underground power lines, converting to high-voltage direct current (HVDC), and increasing the ground clearance of transmission towers. Depending on whether a separate power supply is needed or not, there are two types of wire loops: passive loop and active loop. Magnetic field reduction is currently done through underground power lines; however, the disadvantage of this process is high construction costs. Installing passive loops, with relatively low construction costs, leads to lower magnetic field reduction rates than installing underground cables and a weakness to not solving the landscape problem. This methodological study aims at designing methods and reducing the effects of 2-wire set loops-the simplest and most practical. Since the method proposed in this study has been designed after analyzing the distribution of complex electromagnetic fields near the expected loop installation location, a practical design can be implemented without the need for any difficult optimization programming.

This paper proposes a topological locating algorithm to determine the location of the power quality event source. This algorithm makes use of the information on the topology of the monitored network and on the direction of PQ events. As a result, the bus incidence matrix is modified using monitor location and the direction matrix is constructed. With this information, the algorithm determines the suspected locations of the PQ events. To reduce suspicious areas, it utilizes event cause and related equipment. In case of line fault event, it calculates the distance from the monitor to the location of event source. The overall algorithm is applied to the IEEE test feeder and accurately identifies the event source location.

An experimental study to identify the energized status of the 22.9kV underground power cable by the detection of vibration has been performed. We have derived that there exists vibration at double the line frequency in live cables by electromagnetic force. The relative amplitudes of the cable vibration according to the energized status of the cable were calculated by computer simulation. The cable vibration can also be picked up by accelerometer. A prototype was tested on the underground distribution system in Chonan substation, KEPCO. Comparison between simulation results and field test results was performed. The results showed that the energized status of the calble can be identified by measuring the vibration of the cable using accelerometer.

This paper proposes an effective algorithm for short-term generation scheduling for the purpose of economic and secure operation of thermal power systems. Especially, in the procedure of solution by Dynamic Programming, Linear Programming is introduced to promote the possibility of optimal solution and the security of power systems, and evaluation of security function is improved by the application of seven step approximation of normal distribution. Several necessary considerations, that is, time dependent start-up and constant down cost of generating units, demand and spinning reserve constraints, minimum up and sown time constraints, the number of possible start-up of a generating unit in a d and the number of generating units which can be started up at the same time at the same bus, are also incoporated to elevate the usability and flexibility of the algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been demonstrated by applying to the 6-gen. 21-bus model power system.

A method to mitigate the thermal stratification flow of a horizontal pipe line is proposed by heating external bottom of the pipe with electrical heat tracing. Unsteady two dimensional model has been used to numerically investigate an effect of the external Denting to the thermally stratified flow. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by using the control volume formulation and SIMPLE algorithm. Temperature distribution, streamline profile and Nusselt numbers of fluids and pipe walls with time are analyzed in case of externally heating condition. no numerical result of this study shows that the maximum dimensionless temperature difference between the hot and the cold sections of pipe inner wall is 0.424 at dimensionless time 1,500 ann the thermal stratification phenomena is disappeared at about dimensionless time 9,000. This result means that external heat tracing can mitigate the thermal stratification phenomena by lessening $\Delta$ $T_{ma}$ about 0.1 and shortening the dimensionless time about 132 in comparison with no external heat tracing.rnal heat tracing.

22.9kV 가공배전설비 진단방법으로 고주파, 초음파, 열화상, 광학, 활선기별점검이 대표적으로 적용되고 있다. 진단장비로 적출된 가공 배전설비는 광학진단이나 활선기별점검을 통해 기자재의 외관상태등을 최종적으로 확인한다. 활선기별점검은 고(高)비용이며 활선작업차(화석에너지), 활선자격, 다수인원이 필요하고 하천횡단, 장경간, 장척전주, 진입곤란개소 등은 진단점검이 곤란하며 광학진단은 기자재 상부를 진단 할 수 없다는 제약이 있다. 본 논문에서는 항공 원격제어 헬기를 통해 22.9kV 가공배전선로에 근접하여 기자재 상태 확인 방법을 최초로 적용하여 기존의 활선기별 점검 및 광학진단 점검의 문제점을 해소하는데 효과적이었으며, 비용절감과 안전확보, 기존방법에서 점검이 곤란한 사항도 해소는 물론 Green Energy정책에 기여할 수 있었다.

A wind generator system model includes wind model, rotor dynamics, synchronous generator, power converter, distribution line and infinite bus. This paper investigates the low-Voltage Ride-Through capability of PMSG wind turbine in a variable speed. The drive train of a wind turbine on 2-mass modeling can observe the shaft torsional vibration when the low-voltage occur. To reduce the torsional vibration when the low-voltage occur, this paper designs suppression control algorithm of the torsional vibration and implements simulation. A Matlab/Simulink is used to investigate the response during the transient state.
