에디슨이 전기를 발명한 후 지난 100년간 전력산업은 증가하는 전력수요에 대응하기 위해 공급측면에서 발전소 및 송배전 설비 건설을 통해 전력공급 문제를 해결하여 왔다. 이 과정에서 화석연료 사용으로 인한 지구환경오염, 화석연료 고갈에 따른 에너지 가격 급등등으로 신규 대체자원의 개발과 수요측면에서 대응방안 마련이 절실한 상황에 이르렀다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 하는 전력산업의 패러다임이 스마트그리드이며, 본 논문에서는 스마트그리드 핵심자원인 수요측자원에 대해 스마트그리드 제주실증단지 전력시장에서의 수요자원 운영방안에 대한 체계를 제시하고자 한다.

Until now some countries including South Korea have made big progress and many efforts in the development of high temperature superconductor (HTS) power equipments. Especially, HTS Cable and superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) are the strongest candidates among them from the viewpoint of applying to real grid. In South Korea, HTS cable and SFCL have been installed in test fields and tested successfully at Gochang PT Center of KEPCO. In order to meet practical requirements and be feasible in real grid, a demonstration project for HTS cable and SFCL systems, called GENI(green superconducting electric power network at Icheon substation) project, has been initiated to install 23kV HTS cable and SFCL systems in a utility network in South Korea since 2008. Namely, it says the first demonstration project for the application HTS system to real smart grid in South Korea. This paper presents the design and the application plan of the 22.9kV HTS cable and SFCL in 154kV Icheon substation in South Korea with the viewpoint of applying in Smat Grid.

In this study, the output 380V direct current DC-DC converter for low-voltage direct current(LVDC) distribution was designed in three types, and the voltage and current characteristics of the three types of DC-DC converter were compared and analyzed through simulation. When the converter was configured using a parallel structure with the power metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor and two current suppression insulated-gate bipolar transistors(IGBTs), the time when the output voltage was stabilized at DC 380V was relatively short with 9ms and the range of output current changes was also between 44.8A and 50.2A, indicating that the width of change was much smaller and the effect of current suppression was greater compared to when IGBT was not applied(68~83A). These results suggest that the proposed DC-DC converter for LVDC distribution is likely to be applied to smart grid construction.

Accidents or faults in the transmission and distribution system are never completely avoidable, and short-circuit and earth faults are occurs despite the efforts of the TSO and DSO. Recently, the connection to the transmission and distribution system of large-capacity new and renewable distributed power has increased rapidly and has various effects on the operation of the system. In order to minimize this, connection standards such as FRT (Fault-Ride-Through) have been established to provide wind turbines or solar inverters. In the event of a major faults of the power system, the operation support shall be provided so that the operator can stably operate the system by smoothly performing connection maintenance or rapid system separation. In this paper, in order to appropriately determine whether the FRT condition, which is the grid connection criterion for a representative DERs, is sufficient, a detection system using a PMU (Phasor Measurement Unit) that measures a synchro-phasors was designed and deployment and a system accident due to a generator step-out to analyze and evaluate the proposed system based on the case.

A smart grid is an electric-power grid that employs a new information technology.This technology makes it possible to exchange real-time energy information between suppliers and consumers, finally resulting in high energy efficiency. The energy management system in smart grid provides up to date information on electricity consumption as well as dynamic electricity price to consumers of smart grid system. However, the existing energy management systems only focus on pricing system, for example, real-time electricity prices. In this paper, we try to improve the existing energy management system and propose the energy management system that mainly focuses on the efficiency of electricity consumption. In the proposed management system, PMU(Phasor Measurement Units) installed in switchboards gathers electricity data in a real time. We also propose to use data mining method, which is applied to analyzed electricity data for improving energy efficiency. Also, the proposed energy management system is designed to efficiently control the electricity between PMU and management system in case of a shortage of electricity or surplus electricity.

In this paper, a power facility communication control device was designed to autonomously determine and separate the fault section through communication between power facilities in the smart grid distribution system. In the power facility communication control device, the control module was designed as a DSP to measure three-phase voltage and current, and the communication module was designed as an embedded-based Raspberry Pi to determine the fault section and realize the fault section separation through communication between power facilities. Communication between DSP and Raspberry Pi was designed by SPI communication, and communication between Raspberry Pi was designed based on Wi-Fi. Finally, a performance evaluation system based on three power facility communication control devices was built, and simulation verification was conducted for various fault events that may occur on the distribution line. As a result of the test evaluation, it was possible to confirm the effectiveness of the design methodology of the communication control device by showing the required response of the communication control device to all test cases.

The authors have been discussed the optimal voltage regulation method and on-line real time method using artificial neural networks in the distribution system interconnected with Distributed Generation and Storage(DSG) systems. However, these methods have difficulty in dealing with the random load variations and operation characteristics of a number of DSG systems. To overcome these problems, this paper shows the basic concepts of smart grid system which is considered as one of the power delivery system in the near future and presents an evaluation method on the impacts of customer voltages by the operation of smart grid system. The smart grid system can change the system configuration in a flexible manner by using the static switches and offer the different power qualities in power services through the power quality control centers.
