변전소는 변전설비들이 제한된 장소에 집중되어 구조적으로 복잡하기 때문에 송전선로나 배전선로 상에서 고장발생 시 고장파급효과를 최소화하기 위한 보호협조 시스템을 설계하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 변전소 전력공급 신뢰성에 핵심적인 영향을 미치는 모선 방식과 보호협조 기초논리를 분석하였으며 EMTP-RV 기반으로 변전소 내부 및 외부 고장을 정확하게 검출하기 위한 변전소 보호협조 논리를 모델링하였다. 변전소 보호협조 기본 논리로서 변전소 내부 고장 검출을 위한 비율차동 보호계전 논리와 외부고장을 추론하기 위한 과부하 보호계전 논리가 모델링되었다. 끝으로, EMTP-RV를 이용하여 개발된 보호협조 논리 모델링을 기반으로 154kV 변전소를 모델링한 후, 수개의 고장모의를 통해 EMTP-RV 모델링 결과의 유효성을 확인하였다.

After North American wide area black out on August 14, 2003, various studies have been conducted to find out the reason of the disaster. One of main reasons was misoperation of generator protection system. Since then, protective coordination between generator protection system and excitation system controls has been hot issue among electrical engineers. Among various generator protection relays, in this paper, we focused on generator overvoltage and overexcitation relay, which protect the over-flux condition of the generator. Thus, at first, we modeled the generator overvoltage, overexcitation relay and detailed power system including excitation system, governor and etc., based on actual field data. And then, we reviewed the protective coordination of generator overvoltage and overexcitation relay using electromagnetic transient program. In addition, we discussed the protective coordination method for redundant protection relays in both automatic voltage regulator and generator side.

In this paper, we propose the protection coordination algorithm using communication methode based on IEC 61850. The communication protocol in power distribution management system has been issued by IEC standard, IEC61850 of them, which was made for substation automation system, has researched to apply into power distribution system, even though the standard is not a suitable for the system. In smart distribution management system' launched in 2009, the communication network based on the ethernet network for IEC 61850 has been designed to apply the self-healing concept, which is to perform the system protection through the communication between remote terminal units(RTU) according to the standard. However, it is first time to apply the scheme in the real. Thus, this paper proposed the protection algorithm and consideration for applying communication method and introduced the result of demonstration.

In microgrid demonstration site, distributed generations can make bidirectional power flows on the system. If an accident occurs, the fault current from the inverter based distributed generation is small. However, the conventional protection scheme in distribution network is designed to operate at high fault current. This means that the traditional protection of distribution network is no longer applicable and new protection methods must be developed. In this paper, for two cases, algorithms for protection coordination of demonstration site is proposed and verified through PSCAD/EMTDC simulation. In first case, protection devices are assumed to have the abilities of directional relaying and communication. In second case, protection devices do not have those abilities. Proposed protection coordination algorithms detect the fault locations and protect the microgrid fairly well.

최근 배전계통은 정부의 녹색성장 정책으로 태양광, 풍력발전 등과 같은 분산전원의 보급률이 지속적으로 증가되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 분산전원의 연계로 기존 배전계통의 조류흐름은 단방향(One-direction)에서 양방향(Bi-direction)으로 변화되고, 고장전류의 증 감이 발생하는 등, 다양한 변화가 생겨 배전계통의 운용상에 여러 가지 문제점들이 발생할 가능성이 커지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 분산전원의 배전계통 연계에 따른 보호기기의 정정 및 양방향 보호협조 검토가 가능한 보호협조 평가알고리즘과 실제의 사고전류 값을 이용한 개선된 T-C곡선 알고리즘을 제안하고, 이 알고리즘을 바탕으로 양방향 보호협조 평가시스템을 개선하였다. 또한 평가시스템을 이용하여 배전계통을 모델링하고, 분산전원 연계 시 보호기기들 간의 보호협조를 검토하여, 분산전원이 연계된 경우 배전계통에 발생할 수 있는 기술적인 문제점들을 분석하여 그 방안을 제시하였다.

The radial distribution systems (RDS) commonly used around the world has the following disadvantages. First, when the DL is operated on a radial system, the line utilization rate is usually kept low. Second, if a fault occurs in the radial DL, a power outage of 3 to 5 minutes is occurring depending on the operator's proficiency and fault situation until the fault section is separated and the normal section is replaced. To solve this problem, Various methods have been proposed at domestic and foreign to solve this problem, and in Korea, research is underway on the advanced system of operating multiple linked DL always. A system that is electrically linked always, and that is built to enable high-speed communication during the protection coordination is named networked distribution system (NDS). Because the load shares the DL, the line utilization rate can be improved, and even if the line faults, the normal section does not need to be cut off, so the normal section does not experience a power outage. However, since it is impossible to predict in which direction the fault current will flow when a failure occurs in the NDS, a communication-based protection coordination is used, but there is no backup protection coordination method in case of communication failure. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a protective cooperation method to apply as a backup method when communication fails in NDS. The new method is to change TCC by location of CB using voltage drop in case of fault.

A distance relay scheme is commonly used for backup protection. This scheme, called a step distance protection, is comprised of 3 steps for graded zones having different operating time. As for the conventional step distance protection scheme, Zone 2 can exceed the ordinary coverage excessively in case of a transformer protection relay especially. In this case, there can be overlapped protection area from a backup protection relay and, therefore, malfunctions can occur when any fault occurs in the overlapped protection area. Distance relays and overcurrent relays are used for backup protection generally, and both relays have normally this problem, the maloperation, caused by a fault in the overlapped protection area. Corresponding to an IEEE standard, this problem can be solved with the modification of the operating time. On the other hand, in Korea, zones are modified to cope with this problem in some specific conditions. These two methods may not be obvious to handle this problem correctly because these methods, modifying the common rules, can cause another coordination problem. To overcome this problem clearly, this paper describes an improved backup protection coordination scheme using an IEC 61850-based distance relay for transformer backup protection. IEC 61850-based IED(Intelligent Electronic Device) and the network system based on the kernel 2.6 LINUX are realized to verify the proposed method. And laboratory tests to estimate the communication time show that the proposed coordination method is reliable enough for the improved backup protection scheme.

In this paper, we propose protective coordination and automatic setting method using agents for distribution system with loop. The proposed protection scheme adopts an agent technology assuming communication among protection agents and auto-switch agents. Having exchanged fault-related information with each other, protection agents and auto-switch agents perform the primary and backup protection and fault section isolation, respectively. this proposed scheme using agents for distribution system with loop is implemented by matlab. Because of the various configuration of distribution system, It's difficult to find cooperative agents for each agent. This paper develops a program to automatically set the cooperative route for the agents.

In this paper, a protection system using a Multi-Agent concept for power distribution networks is proposed. Every digital over current relay(OCR) is developed as an agent by adding its own intelligence, self-tuning and communication ability. The main advantage of the Multi-Agent concept is that a group of agents work together to achieve a global goal which is beyond the ability of each individual agent. In order to cope with frequent changes in the network operation condition and faults, an OCR agent, suggested in this paper, is able to detect a fault or a change in the network and find its optimal parameters for protection in an autonomous manner considering information of the whole network obtained by communication between other agents. Through this kind of coordination and information exchanges, not only a local but also a global protective scheme is completed. Simulations in a simple distribution network show the effectiveness of the suggested protection system.
