The government has proposed a mission to enhance intelligent power networks, decrease coal-fired generation, expand distributed energy resources, and promote energy prosumer into the distribution network in Korea. Installation cost of facility expansion to guaranteed interconnection with small distributed energy resources increases dramatically on KEPCO's distribution sector. And it is hard to withdraw in time. In addition, there are explicit research is required to meet the reliability on grid corresponding to the increase of distributed power. Infrastructure support for accommodating energy prosumer is also needed. Therefore, KEPCO is pushing transition to DSO by expanding distribution management scope and changing its roles. In addition, KEPCO is proactively preparing for integrated operation between distribution network and existing distributed power which is accommodated passively. KEPCO is also trying to accept multiple network users, e.g. building platforms, to manage a data and promote new markets. In the long term, transition to DSO will achieve saving investment costs for accommodating distributed sources and maintaining stable electrical quality. And it will be possible to create new business model using the platform to secure revenue.

In order to understand the nature of dendritic zinc growth, electrochemical zinc redox reaction on nickel plate was investigated in aqueous solutions containing different concentrations, 0.2, 0.1 and 0.02 $mol{\cdot}dm^{-3}$ (M), of zinc sulfate ($ZnSO_4$) or zinc chloride ($ZnCl_2$). Zinc ion was efficiently reduced and oxidized on nickel in the high-concentration (0.2 M) solution, whereas relatively poor efficiency was obtained from the other low-concentration solutions (0,1 and 0.02 M). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis revealed that the 0.2 M electrolyte solution decomposes at more positive potentials than the 0.1 and the 0.02 M solutions. These results suggested that the concentration of electrolyte solution and anion would be an important factor that suppresses the reaction of the zinc dendrite formation. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) data revealed that the shape of dendritic zinc and its growing behavior were also influenced by electrolyte concentration.

In order to design mutual communication between a distributed control system and a function test facility, we used the Inter-Process Communication(IPC) in two systems and Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) protocol. The data from the function test facility are put in the shared memory using an IPC, which is then accessed by the distributed control system through an Application Program Interface(API). The server in the function test facility includes two processes(one for sending and one for receiving), which are generated by the fork function from the client signal. The client in the distributed control system includes two separate programs(one for receiving and one for sending).

The distributed resistance model has been recently implemented into the MATRA-LMR code in order to improve its prediction capability over the wire-wrap model for a flow blockage analysis in the LMR. The code capability has been investigated using experimental data observed in the FFM (Fuel Failure Mock-up)-2A and 5B for two typical flow conditions in a blocked channel. The predicted results by the MATRA-LMR with a distributed resistance model agreed well with the experimental data for wire-wrapped subchannels. However, it is suggested that the parameter n in the distributed resistance model needs to be calibrated accurately for a reasonable prediction of the temperature field under a low flow condition. Finally, the analyses of a blockage for the assembly of the KALIMER design are performed. Satisfactory results by the MATRA-LMR code were obtained through and rerified a comparison with results of the SABRE code.

본 논문에서는 전력망 연계형 마이크로그리드의 분산에너지자원을 위한 에너지관리시스템의 구조에 대해 서술한다. 전력망 연계형 마이크로그리드의 분산에너지자원 에너지관리시스템은 분산에너지자원들의 상태나 시간대별 차등요금제와 같은 마이크로그리드 내외의 각종 정보들을 다양한 프로토콜들을 통해 수집한다. 에너지관리시스템은 수집한 정보들을 바탕으로 예측과 최적화 계산을 수행하고, 전기요금 절감이라는 마이크로그리드 최적운영 목표를 달성할 수 있도록 분산에너지자원들의 운전 스케줄을 도출한다. 최적운영 달성을 위하여 에너지관리시스템은 내부적으로 효과적 스케줄 도출을 위한 알고리즘을 포함하고 있어야하며, 도출한 스케줄을 외부의 분산에너지자원에 전달할 수 있는 프로토콜을 갖추어야 한다. 예측 과정에서 발생하는 실제와의 오차를 줄이기 위하여 에너지관리시스템은 rolling horizon controller로 작동한다. 도출된 운전 스케줄은 국제표준프로토콜을 통하여 실시간으로 분산에너지자원에 전달되어 마이크로그리드 최적운영을 가능하도록 한다.

스마트 그리드를 구성하는 기본 단위 요소인 마이크로그리드(Microgrid)는 전력의 중앙 공급방식에서 벗어나 독립된 하나의 체계를 이룬다. 본 논문은 전력변환장치(Power Conditioning System)를 기반으로 마이크로그리드를 계통으로부터 전기적으로 독립시키고, 신재생 에너지원과 에너지 저장장치(Energy Storage System) 등의 분산자원(Distributed Energy Resource)을 활용하여 효과적으로 독립 상태를 유지하고 운영할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 계통의 위상검출과 동기화를 통해 계통에 연계하거나 독립 시에 부하에 미치는 영향을 최소화할 뿐만 아니라 계통의 정전 상황에서도 안정적으로 운영이 가능하다.

The increasing penetration of distributed energy resources on the distribution networks have brought a number of technical impacts where voltage and thermal variations have been identified as the dominant effects. Active network management in distribution networks aims to integrate distributed energy resources with flexible network management so that distributed energy resources are organized to make better use of existing capacity and infrastructure. This paper propose active solutions which aims to solve the voltage and thermal issues in a distributed manner utilizing a collaborative approach. The proposed algorithms have been fully tested on a distribution network with distributed generation units.

Due to changes in the distribution system and increased demand for renewable energy, interest in technology to increase the limit capacity of distributed energy grid connection using grid flexible resources is also increasing. Recently, the distribution system system is changing due to the increase in distributed power from renewable energy, and as a result, problems with the limited capacity of the distribution system, such as waiting for renewable energy to connect and increased overload, are occurring. According to the power generation facility status report provided by the Korea Power Exchange, of the total power generation capacity of 134,020 MW as of 2021, power generation capacity through new and renewable energy facilities is 24,855 MW, accounting for approximately 19%, and among them, power generation through solar power accounts for a total portion of the total. It was analyzed that the proportion of solar power generation facilities was high, accounting for 75%. In the future, the proportion of new and renewable energy power generation facilities is expected to increase, and accordingly, an efficient operation plan for the distribution system is needed. Advanced country-type NWAs that can integrate the operation and management of load characteristics for each line of the distribution system, power distribution, regional characteristics, and economic feasibility of distributed power in order to improve distribution network use efficiency without expanding distribution facilities due to the expansion of renewable energy. An integrated operating system is needed. In this study, in order to improve the efficiency of distribution network use without expanding distribution facilities due to the expansion of renewable energy, we developed a method that can integrate the operation and management of load characteristics for each line of the distribution system, power distribution, regional characteristics, and economic feasibility of distributed power. We want to develop an integrated operation system for NWAs similar to that of advanced countries.

최근 정부에서 역점 적으로 추진하고 있는 '재생에너지 3020', '그린뉴딜', '2050 탄소중립', 'K-RE100' 정책에 의해 재생에너지 관련 발전설비들이 급증하고 있다. 재생에너지 설비들은 대부분 소규모이고, 분산되어 있어서 효율적인 관리가 어렵고, 1MW 미만의 소규모 분산자원은 판매량 제한, 거래회피 등으로 시장참여에 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 특히, 재생에너지의 간헐성 때문에 전력망의 안정성 저하에도 큰 영향을 끼치고 있다. 정부에서는 '소규모 분산자원 중개거래'를 통해서 변동성 및 간헐성 문제를 해결하고, 이종의 대량 소규모 분산자원들의 계통 자원화와 수용성 확대를 추구하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 AI에 기반한 발전량 예측 모델을 분산자원 중개거래 시스템에 적용하여 최적의 운영 솔루션을 제시하고, 에너지신사업 시장 개척의 기반 플랫폼으로 활용될 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

전 세계적인 에너지·기후 위기는 각국의 이해관계가 복잡하게 얽혀있어 글로벌 대응이 필수적인 아젠다임이 최근 다시금 환기되고 있다. 특히, 우리나라는 에너지 수입의존도가 높고 에너지 다소비·저효율 소비 및 온실가스 다(多) 배출구조가 지속되고 있어 에너지효율 및 탄소중립 달성을 위한 혁신적이고 실효성 있는 에너지정책이 절실하다고 하겠다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라에 1980년대 중반 집단에너지 방식이 도입된 이후의 분산형 집단에너지 정책변동 중 "국가 열(熱) 지도 사업" 정책 추진사례를 수정 다중흐름모형으로 분석하고자 한다. 연구 대상 기간인 이명박-박근혜 정부의 10년간은 에너지정책의 주된 패러다임이 "분산형 에너지플랫폼"으로 전환하는 데 있어 정책의제 설정과 정책 표류, 정책수정의 전환이 이루어졌던 기간으로서 연구에 의미가 있을 것이다.
