As the power demand has increased, it is expected that the transmission system will have more complicated problems under the influence of investment reduction for overall power system. The route length per MW demand will be reduced gradually from 0.6［C-km/㎿］ to 0.53 ［C-km/㎿］ in 2010. This comes up to a real serious problem of system planning and operation viewpoints HTS power technologies have properties to solve these complex transmission and distribution constraints, especially for metropolitan area, in the future. As the HTS technology has developed, the HTS cable technology can be the most effective alternative to solve the future expected transmission constraints as compared with other countermeasures in terms of economics, environments and system operation. This paper describes the general application methodology of developing 22.9 ㎸ HTS cable by CAST for practical distribution system, particularly, step-by-step application methodology of 22.9 ㎸ HTS cable to substitute the existing and planning 154 ㎸ cable. In this scheme, almost of the downtown 154 ㎸ substation of metropolitan city such as Seoul will be changed into 22,9 ㎸ switching station.

The increased diversity of different types of energy sources requires moving towards smart distribution networks. This paper proposes a probabilistic DG (distributed generation) units planning model to determine technology type, capacity and location of DG units while simultaneously allocating ESS (energy storage systems) based on pre-determined capacities. This problem is studied in a wind integrated power system considering loads, prices and wind power generation uncertainties. A suitable method for DG unit planning will reduce costs and improve reliability concerns. Objective function is a cost function that minimizes DG investment and operational cost, purchased energy costs from upstream networks, the defined cost to reliability index, energy losses and the investment and degradation costs of ESS. Electrical load is a time variable and the model simulates a typical radial network successfully. The proposed model was solved using the DICOPT solver under GAMS optimization software.

In medium voltage electrical distribution networks, reforming the loss reduction is important, and in line with this, the issue of system engineering and use of proper equipment Expansion of distribution systems results in higher system losses and poor voltage regulation. Therefore, an efficient and effective distribution system has become more important. So, proper selection of conductors in the distribution system is crucial as it determines the current density and the resistance of the line. Evaluation of aging conductors for losses and costs imposed in addition to the careful planning of technical and economic networks can be identified in the network design. In this paper the use of imperialist competitive algorithm; genetic algorithm; is proposed to optimal branch conductor selection and reconstruction in radial distribution systems planning. The objective is to minimize the overall cost of annual energy losses and depreciation on the cost of conductors to improve productivity given the maximum current carrying capacity and acceptable voltage levels. Simulations are carried out on 69-bus radial distribution network using genetic algorithm approaches to show the accuracy as well as the efficiency of the proposed solution technique.

본 논문은 확률분포를 이용하여 전력설비의 기대여명을 산출하는 방법을 제안한다. 전력설비의 기대여명이란 해당 설비의 잔존수명으로, 기대여명은 전력시스템의 보수계획, 설비교체계획, 신뢰도 평가에 유용하게 이용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 운전년수별로 향후 운전가능년수에 대한 누적확률을 계산하고, 계산한 누적확률로 누적확률분포함수모델의 모수를 결정한 후, 모델함수의 평균값을 구하여 기대여명을 산정한다. 제안한 방법에서는 정립한 누적확률분포함수모델을 이용하여 기대여명 뿐만 아니라, 향후 특정 운전년수에 이르기 위한 기대확률까지도 쉽게 구할 수 있다. 제안한 방법은 우리나라 복합화력 발전소 발전기의 기대여명 추정에 적용하여 그 효용성을 입증하였다.

This paper presents a optimal Var allocation algorithm for minimizing power loss and improving voltage profile in a given system. In this paper, nodal input data is considered as Gaussian distribution with their mean value and their variance. A stochastic Linear Programming technique based on chance constrained method is applied to solve the probabilistic constraint. The test result in IEEE-14 Bus model system showes that the voltage distribution of load buses is improved and the power loss is more reduced than before Var allocation.

Today, as the power trades between generation companies and power customer are liberalized, the uncertainty level of operated power system is rapidly increased. Therefore, transmission operators as decision makers for transmission expansion are required to establish a deliberate investment plan for effective operations of transmission facilities considering forecasted conditions of power system. This paper proposes the methodology for the optimal solution of transmission expansion in deregulated power system. The paper obtains the expected value of transmission congestion cost for various scenarios by using occurrence probability. In addition, the paper assumes that increasing rates of loads are the probability distribution and indicates the location of expanded transmission line, the time for transmission expansion with the minimum cost for the future by performing the Montecarlo simulation. To minimize the investment risk as the variance of the congestion cost, Mean-Variance Markowitz portfolio theory is applied to the optimization model by the penalty factor of the variance. By the case study, the optimal solution for transmission expansion plan considering the feature of market participants is obtained.

The probabilistic nature of renewable energy, especially wind energy, increases the needs for new forms of planning and operating with electrical power. This paper presents a novel approach for determining the short-term generation schedule for optimal operations of wind energy-integrated power systems. The proposed probabilistic security-constrained optimal power flow (P-SCOPF) considers dispatch, network, and security constraints in pre- and post-contingency states. The method considers two sources of uncertainty: power demand and wind speed. The power demand is assumed to follow a normal distribution, while the correlated wind speed is modeled by the Weibull distribution. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to choose input variables of power demand and wind speed from their probability distribution functions. Then, P-SCOPF can be applied to the input variables. This approach was tested on a modified IEEE 30-bus system with two wind farms. The results show that the proposed approach provides information on power system economics, security, and environmental parameters to enable better decision-making by system operators.

This paper proposes the planning method for placement of capacitors in a distribution system. The main objectives in the planning for capacitor allocation are the reduction of installation costs and electric power loss. In the proposed method, the life time of each device is considered in calculating installation costs, and the optimal operation status of devices is found by genetic algorithm. Then, the optimal numbers and locations are determined based on the optimal operation status. Simulation results in the 69-bus distribution system show that the proposed method performs better than conventional methods.

In operation of distribution system, DGs(Distributed Generations) are installed as an alternative of extension and establishment of substations, transmission and distribution lines according to increasing power demand. Optimal capacity and allocation of DGs improve power quality and reliability. This paper proposes a method for determining the optimal number, size and allocation of DGs needed to minimize operation cost of distribution system. Capacity of DGs for economic operation of distribution system can be estimated by the load growth and line capacity during operation planning duration. DG allocations are determined to minimize total cost with failure rate and annual reliability cost of each load point using GA(Genetic Algorithm).
