Due to the many attractive aspects of DG in the future power distribution system, distribution automation will be a center hub of integration of the distribution system and resources to satisfy the various needs of customers in a competitive and deregulated environment. In this paper, operation strategies are presented which use network reconfiguration of the automated distribution systems with DG as a real-time operation tool for loss reduction and service restoration from the view of distribution operation. The algorithms and operation strategies of an automated distribution system with DG are introduced to achieve the positive effects of DG in distribution systems. A simple case study shows the effectiveness of the proposed operation strategies.

This paper presents the scheme for reliability improvement by dispersed generation system (US) installation and operation in distribution systems. The objective functions such as power losses cost, operation cost of DGS, power buy cost and interruption cost are minimized for reliability improvement. The original objective functions and constraints are transformed into the equivalent multiple objective functions with fuzzy sets to evaluate their imprecise nature. The several indices for reliability evaluation are improved by dispersed generation system installation.

Electric power has traditionally been supplied to the demander through power generation, its transmission, and final distribution system. It is, however, expected that the various dispersed power system will be located near demanders and act as a power source based on the efficient management of electric power demanders and the optimal utilization of substitute energy. More stable electric power and efficient utilization of various power sources can be guranteed through the connection of the dispersed power system into the existing power system. It is the purpose of this study that, in the case of the connection of dispersed power system into the existing distribution line, effects of the connection on the power quality and plans for protection of power equipments are discussed and solutions of them are proposed.

Recently, the operation of power systems has become more difficult because the peak demand load is increasing continuously and the daily load factor is getting worse and worse. Also, the consideration of deregulation and global environment in electric power industry is required. In order to overcome those problems, a study on the planning and operation in power systems of dispersed generating sources such as fuel cell systems, photovoltaic systems and wind power systems, has been performed energetically. This paper presents a method for determining an optimal operation strategy of dispersed co-generating sources, especially fuel cell generation systems, considering thermal supply as well as electric power supply. In other words, the optimal operation of those sources can be determined easily by the principle of equal incremental fuel cost and the thermal merit of those sources can be also evaluated quantitatively through Kuhn-Tucker's optimal conditions. In additions, an priority method using the comparison of total cost at the peak load time interval is presented in order ot select the optimal locations of those sources. The validity of the proposed algorithms is demonstrated using a model system.

In recent years there has been a growing interest in renewable energy systems due to the environmental problem and the economic benefits of fuel savings. Such systems are usually connected to the existing power grid for "fuel displacement" purpose as well as of earning some "capacity credit". Wind power generation system(WPGS) is one of the most useful energy resource using natural environment. So far, it was very difficult to simulate the dispersed generation system including WPGS using EMTP or EMTDC because the source of the dispersed generation system has a particular wind power characteristic equation. In this paper, a novel simulation method of WPGS has proposed and a new wind turbine component for EMTDC is also developed. The wind power characteristic equation of wind turbine is used in order to realize the WPGS in EMTDC simulation. And the real field data of weather conditions is interfaced to EMTDC using Fortran program interface method. Consequently the simulation of WPGS using field data is realized in this paper and shows acceptable results.

This paper presents a scheme for the interconnection of dispersed generator systems(DGs) based on load .unbalance and load model in composite distribution systems. Groups of each individual load model consist of residential, industrial, commercial, official and agricultural load. The unbalance is involved with many single-phase line segment. . Voltage profile improvement and system loss minimization by installation of DGs depend greatly on how they are placed and operated in the distribution systems. So, DGs can reduce distribution real power losses and replace large-scale generators if they are placed appropriately in the distribution systems. The main idea of solving fuzzy goal programming is to transform the original objective function and constraints into the equivalent multi-objectives functions with fuzzy sets to evaluate their imprecise nature for the criterion of power loss minimization, the number or total capacity of DGs and the bus voltage deviation, and then solve the problem using genetic algorithm. The method proposed is applied to IEEE 13 bus and 34 bus test systems to demonstrate its effectiveness.

The installation of small sized dispersed generation(DG) units operating in parallel with the utility supply presents several technical problems for the protection and control of the system. One of the critical concerns is the occurrence of islanding. Hence, this paper propose the Digital Universal Relay(DUR) including anti-islanding function as DG interconnection interface. The existent islanding detection algorithms are examined. And the most effective and reliable method of those is modified for DUR application. The modified algorithm is evaluated through the modeling of the test system by PSCAD/EMTDC.

This study examined the overall measurement system for the power dispersed high speed railway with 400km/h of maximum test speed. The measuring system evaluating an efficiency, stability and reliability is important for developing the high speed railway. In order to organize the comprehensive measuring system, it is needed to determined the test item, a number of channel and the specifications of the measurement system. In this study, we made lists for the performance evaluation tests of the next generation high speed railway expected to be developed in the future, and prepared generalization channel sheets for the specification of the overall measurement system. In addition, the specifications for the measuring system were discussed and synthesized.

This paper presents a fuzzy-GA method to resolve dispersed generator placement for distribution systems. The problem formulation considers an objective to reduce power loss costs of distribution systems and the constraints with the number or size of dispersed generators and the deviation of the bus voltage. The main idea of solving fuzzy nonlinear goal programming is to transform the original objective function and constraints into the equivalent multi-objectives functions with fuzzy sets to evaluate their imprecise nature and solve the problem using the proposed genetic algorithm, without any transformation for this nonlinear problem to a linear model or other methods. The method proposed is applied to the sample systems to demonstrate its effectiveness.
