Smart Grid is grafting IT(information technology) techniques on existing electric power network, supplier and the consumer to do real-time exchange of information lead to both direction and energy efficiency optimization, it is a next potential electric power network method. Because of applying various distributed electric power sources, the electric power network system will follow in size and it is dispersive and it will operate independently, and it become the intelligent electric power network, which in consumer demand reacts at real-time, because of using various sensors. In this article explain concept, features, and contemporary background of Smart Grid, and describe improve reliability of the electric power quality.

The need for open architecture based IP network is becoming increasingly critical because the electric power industry has begun to upgrade to digital systems. In this paper, we implemented IPv6 testbed and experimented IPv6 performance actually for examination on IPv6 applications to electric power communication network. We achieved preliminary tests relevant to IPv6 to solve expected problems before.

DC distribution system has been evaluated as an excellent one in comparison with existing AC distribution network because it needs fewer power conversion stages and the full capacity of the equipment can be used without consideration for power factor. Recently, research and development on the implementation of DC distribution networks have been progressed globally based on the rapid advancement in power-electronics technology, and the technological developments from the viewpoint of infrastructure are also in progress. However, to configure a distribution network which is a distribution line for DC, more accurate and rapid introduction of analysis technology is needed for the monitoring, control and operation of the system, which ensure the system run flexible and efficiently. However, in case of a bipolar DC distribution network, there are two buses acting as slack buses, so the Jacobian matrix cannot be configured. Without solving this problem, DC distribution network cannot be operated when the network is unbalanced. Therefore, this paper presented a comprehensive method of analysis with consideration of operating elements which are directly connected between neutral electric potential caused by the unbalanced of load in DC distribution network with bipolar structure.

Construction of wind power plant is increasing rapidly because Jeju island is known as the most suitable place for wind power plant. Rut wind power plant is difficult electric power control and it has a rapid electric power fluctuation. Such a problem has a bad influence on electric power network in small electric network like Jeju. Therefore, we forecast the amount of wind power plant construction by weather information and the rate of utilization for existing facility. We investigate the contribution degree for electric Power demand, economic effect, the case of power network influence. So we forecast influence of wind power plant for Jeju power network's operation in the near future.

Distributed Control Systems(DCS) arc used in a wide range of process applications such as power plants. This paper presents calculated network capacity of a DCS that developed for nuclear power plant. The network hierarchies are 3 layed of information network, control network and field network. The assumed total node number of maximum DCS network is 64. Worst case network utilization of the DCS is simulated and analyzed.

This paper proposes the method of active distribution network expansion planning considering distributed generation integration and distribution network reconfiguration. The distribution network reconfiguration is taken as the expansion planning alternative with zero investment cost of the branches. During the process of the reconfiguration in expansion planning, all the branches are taken as the alternative branches. The objective is to minimize the total costs of the distribution network in the planning period. The expansion alternatives such as active management, new lines, new substations, substation expansion and Distributed Generation (DG) installation are considered. Distribution network reconfiguration is a complex mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem, with integration of DGs and active managements, the active distribution network expansion planning considering distribution network reconfiguration becomes much more complex. This paper converts the dual-level expansion model to Second-Order Cone Programming (SOCP) model, which can be solved with commercial solver GUROBI. The proposed model and method are tested on the modified IEEE 33-bus system and Portugal 54-bus system.

This paper presents the network of Distributed Control System(DCS) considering specification of nuclear power plant. The network is composed of field network, control network and information network. The protocol of control network is ring type and it is compared to ethernet type. This paper proposes the structure of DCS, the protocol of each network and analyzes the network traffic along data capacity of field network, control network, information network and the network performance. Network II.5 is used as traffic simulation tool.

KEPCO installed AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) metering system for low-voltage customers from 2008. AMI metering system of KEPCO has operated 2.55 million customers and will plan to operate 22 million customers until 2020. KEPCO developed AMI NMS (Network Management System) to operate the meter reading network efficiently. NMS monitors the network status of DCUs (Data Concentration Unit) and modems. NMS provides functionalities of data collection and analysis. It collects property data of network device, network topology information, communication performance information, fault information, and etc. It analyzes collected data and controls network devices by remote access. AMI NMS collects about 370 MIBs (Mangement Information Bases) using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This paper introduces main functionalities, designed context, and implemented service screen.
