Recently, the Korean government has implemented a policy to expand renewable energy sources. Large-scale PV systems are being actively interconnected with the distribution system. On the other hand, when a large-scale PV system is installed and operated, the customer voltages could violate the allowable voltage limit due to reverse power flow of the PV system. To overcome these problems, an enhancement method for hosting the capacity of the PV system in a distribution system is being actively conducted. Therefore, to improve the hosting capacity of the PV system, this paper proposes a model of a reconfiguration of the distribution system, which is composed of three sections and three connections based on PSCAD/EMTDC S/W, and proposes an evaluation algorithm for the feeder reconfiguration to maximize an adaption of the PV system. In addition, this paper presents the optimal method of the feeder reconfiguration section to evaluate the maximum capacity of the PV system to keep customer voltages within the allowable voltage limits based on various operation scenarios, such as the capacity of a PV system and section of feeder reconfiguration. From the simulation results based on the PSCAD/EMTDC modeling and evaluation algorithm, it was confirmed that they are a useful and practical tool to enhance hosting the capacity of a PV system in a distribution system.

This paper proposes the adapter for interrupting capacity augmentation of circuit breaker which can be applied in case of shortage in a existing circuit breaker's interrupting capacity due to utility system extension. The adapter utilizes two winding type of reactor instead of single winding type of reactor and the control of 2ry circuit is excuted by a triac interlocked with the system protective relays actuation so as to cut out the reactor by short circuit of the 2ry winding in normal situation and to cut in the reactor by open circuit of the 2ry winding in abnomal situation such as short circuit accident. As a result of the theoritical analysis and experiment, it is proved that the adaptor can reduce the voltage crop and iron loss due to the reactor signigicantly in normal system condition and do a role of reactor upon the power system accident.

The extension of DC battery backup time in the DC power supply system of nuclear power plants (NPPs) remains a challenge. The lead-acid battery is the most popular at present. And it is generally the most popular energy storage device. However, extension of backup time requires too much space. The lithium-ion battery has high energy density and advanced gravimetric and volumetric properties. The aim of this paper is development of the sizing formula of stationary lithium-ion batteries. The ongoing research activities and related industrial standards for stationary lithium-ion batteries are reviewed. Then, the lithium-ion battery sizing calculation formular is proposed for the establishment of industrial design standard which is essential for the design of stationary batteries of nuclear power plants. An example of calculating the lithium-ion battery capacity for a medium voltage UPS is presented.

Among the high distribution voltage consumers, high-capacity consumers are often applying the grounding resistance method in order to overcome demerits such as erroneous operation of the ground reply or potential increase in the battery at the accident of the isolated neutral system. In this paper, to prevent damage to CLR and GPT in the delay to block the breakdown in the resistance grounded neutral system, this study aims to provide a proper suggestion for continuous rating capacity of GPT to check the appropriateness of CLR size and reduce GPT burden. Thereupon, this study comparatively analyzes CLR current applied in general GPT and the current gained when CLR demanded in the system is used and analyzes the simulated system through simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC in order to suggest GPT's proper continuous rating capacity.

This paper have been dealt with the analysis for energy efficiency improvement effect of unity storage capacity as a part of the energy storage application study to improve energy efficiency in the electric railway systems. Especially, in order to estimate the amount of energy saving according to the variation of power capacity of each storage, the current limit module was mounted on an existing DC electric railway loadflow program which is based on the analysis model for railway system and storages, and combined optimization algorithm to determine optimal voltage boundary.

When the large-capacity Mold type Transformer was passed through rain, after it was dried and it's parts were changed, Insulation Diagnosis was made to evaluate the condition of it and decide to recharge. Using the evaluation of Insulation Diagnosis, the urgent decision-making for recharge made blackout time minimum. In this study, it was considered that Insulation Diagnosis for the large-capacity Mold type Transformer is applied to decision-making for reuse of high voltage electric power equipment by analysis of the case study.

Smart battery pack (SBP) for notebook PCs was developed using a cylindrical-type lithium ion battery. Batteries were connected with three serial and two parallel, the nominal capacity and the maximum load of SBP was 4,000mAh and 4.0A, respectively. The SBP was composed of a protection IC, by which safety of lithium ion batteries is maintained against overcharge, overdischarge and overcurrent, and a smart IC, which calculates the remaining capacity and the remaining run time. In matching test on notebook PC using Battery Mark 4.0, real and smart data of END voltage coincided nearly and LB and LLB signal worked norma]]y. And there were errors of less than 1% between the real and the smart data on the residual capacity in the charge and discharge test.

An experimental design of magnetic amplifiers and their characteristics in steady state are presented. A saturable reactor model having 2KVA capacity was designed, using Z-10 grain-oriented silicon steel which is commonly used in power transformers. Experimental and theoretical analysis show that the experimental results are in good agreement with the equal ampere-turns law. In addition to the saturable reactor, the self-saturated magnetic amplifiers of 0.4VA and 5VA capacity, using 50% Ni-Fe alloy cores having rectangular hysteresis loops were designed. Control characteristic curves of these amplifiers show high ampere-turn gain enough to be used for voltage controllers under load and non-contact magnetic switches of the rated capacity.

In the distribution systems, the maximum power transportation capacity is restricted within 40MW based on two lines, because of the thermal current limit of a distribution line. Recently it has been continuously required to expand the abilities of the power transportation in distribution systems, as the number of large scale industrial complexes and distributed generations are growing. In this paper, we suggested the five alternatives combining two methods, laying the two bundle lines and adding another voltage between the 22.9kV and 154kV in distribution systems. This paper implemented the economic evaluations of proposed alternatives from national and customer perspectives. And then we compare the results with those of 154kV transmission system.

Many excellent Al-Zn-In anode have been developed up to the present. But for the purpose of the better performance of Al-Zn-In anodes in sea water the effect of calcium silicon addition on anodic polarization and current capacity of Al-Zn-In anodes was measured and analysed in sea water and artificial sea water. The results and conclusions obtained are summarized as follows. 1) Being compared with Al-Zn-In anodes, Al-Zn-In anodes containing 0.05% calcium silicon had superior characteristics in both anodic polarization and current capacity. 2) Corrosion patterns of the anodes containing calcium silicon were much more uniform than those of Al-Zn-In anodes. 3) In this experiment the most useful anode was Al-4% Zn-0.03% In-0.05% (Ca-Si). It had a capacity of 2.60Amp-hr of current/g and a voltage of 1.13(SCE reference) at anodic current density 1,000 4{\mu}A/cm^2$.
