In the operation of distribution systems, DGs (Distributed Generations) are installed as an alternative to extension and the establishment of substations, transmission and distribution lines according to the increasing power demand. In the operation planning of DGs, determining optimal capacity and allocation achieves economical profitability and improves the reliability of power distribution systems. This paper proposes a determining method for the optimal number, size and allocation of DGs in order to minimize the operation costs of distribution systems. Capacity and allocation of DGs for economical operation planning duration are determined to minimize total cost composed with power buying cost, operation cost of DGs, loss cost and outage cost using the GA (Genetic Algorithm).

As a general radial configuration of power distribution system, the various researches have being studied to change a radial configuration to network one such as smart, intelligent and micro grid for loop operation. If a radial configuration changes to network, protective coordination comes to the biggest problem. When a typical protective algorithm is applied to loop distribution system protection, the interrupted section is expanded, therefore, reliability grows worse. This paper presents the new protective method being able to apply to loop distribution system with Distribution Automation System (DAS) which separate the minimal faulted section. Through contingency analysis of the sustained and momentary fault, we analyzed the influence for radial configuration and loop configuration using interrupted area and proved the effectiveness of proposed method.

It is impossible to take the instant action in the distribution system When fault occures in a substation because operation of the substation and the distribution system are separated. However the power system automation has been studying about unity operation and co-operation between SCADA and DAS(Distribution Automation System). In this paper proposes a new algorithm of efficiency restoration using a outage load switching to a healthy MTR a fault occurrence at a MTR in united system between DAS and SCADA. In addtion, proposed algorithm includes a outage restoration method which keeps MTR optimal capacity with reorganization of distribution network in case it can not restore outage state loads caused by shortage of healthy MTR remain capacity. In case that proposed sequence still can not complete restoration, this paper suggests a efficiency outage restoration with objective function included priority in outage loads. In the case studies, the proposed algorithm have been verified in 2 MTR and 3 MTR substation

This paper analyzed the application of Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) on 22.9 [kV] bus tie in a power distribution system. Commonly, the parallel operations of power main transformers offer a lot of merits. However, when a fault occurs in the parallel operation of power main transformer, the fault currents might exceed the interruption capacity of existing protective devices. To resolve this problem, thus, the SFCL has been studied as the fascinating device. In case that, Particularly, the SFCL could be installed to parallel operation of various power main transformers in power distribution system of the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) on 22.9 [kV] bus tie, the effect of the resistance of SFCL could reduce the increased fault currents and meet the interruption capacity of existing protective devices by them. Therefore, we analyzed the effect of application and proposed the proper impedance of the R-type SFCL on 22.9 [kV] bus tie in a power distribution system using PSCAD/EMTDC.

This paper addresses determining the location of the distribution centers in a discrete dynamic distribution system. In discrete and finite time horizon, the demands of retailers are dynamic for the periods. Some locations among the retailers can be chosen for the role of the distribution centers at the beginning of each period. The distribution centers have to be located at the location of minimizing logistics cost. Logistics cost factors are the operation cost and the fixed cost of distribution center, and the transportation cost. The distribution centers of minimizing sum of operation cost, fixed cost and transportation cost are determined among retailers in each period for the planning period. A mathematical model was formulated and a dynamic programming based algorithm was developed. A numerical example was shown to explain our problem.

In the large system such DC distribution for building, the method that a number of modules converters operation in parallel is commonly used. When parallel operation, circulating current is directly related to the loss of the entire system. Accordingly, each module to share the same current is the most important for the safety of the power system. In this paper, control method for reducing circulating current in parallel operation is proposed. furthermore response and operation of steady-state with parallel system was verified by simulation and experiment results.

The optimal operation in distribution system is to select tie switches considering important elements(Load balance, Loss minimization, Voltage drop, Restoration index..) in distribution system. Optimal Tie Switches Selection is very important in operation of distribution system because that is closely related with efficiency and reliability. In this paper, a new algorithm considering important elements is proposed to find optimal location of tie switches. In the case study, the proposed algorithm has been testified using real distribution network of KEPCO for verifying algorithm and complex network for applying future distribution network.

배전선로계통의 효율적인 관리와 운영을 위해서 배전지능화시스템은 필수적이다. 배전지능화시스템은 IT를 기반으로 배전망을 통합관리하는 시스템으로 전력산업의 발전과 더불어 진화해 오고 있다. 현재의 배전지능화시스템은 주장치 단위의 독립운전을 기준으로 상대적으로 낮은 네트워크 전송속도로 운영되도록 설계되어있다. 하지만 최근 급속히 보급이 증가하고 있는 태양광이나 에너지 저장장치와 같은 분산자원으로 인하여 미래 배전환경의 운영은 보다 복잡해 지고 있으며 다양한 정보의 실시간 수집이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 배전지능화의 한계를 극복하기 위해 차세대 배전지능화 시스템의 요구사항을 도출하였으며, 이를 기반으로 배전계통에 필요한 통신네트워크 체계와 성능요건을 정의하였다. 배전지능화시스템과 같은 대규모 시스템의 현장 도입에는 과도한 시간과 비용이 소요되므로 설계된 시스템의 성능 검증을 위하여 소프트웨어 기반의 단말장치 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다. 시뮬레이터를 활용하여 실제 운영과 유사한 시험환경을 구축하고, 단말장치를 1,000대 까지 증가시켰을 때 제시된 시스템의 네트워크 점유는 최대 10% 이하로 차세대 배전지능화시스템의 기능을 지원하기 위한 네트워크 요구사항을 충족함을 보였다.
