This paper describes controller design and simulation-model development of a dynamic voltage compensator using series and shunt inverters. The control system was designed using PI controller and vector relationship between the supply voltage and load voltage. A simulation model with EMTP was developed to analyze performance of the controller and the whole system. The simulation and experiment results confirm that the dynamic compensator can restore the load voltage under the fault of the distribution system, such as single-line-ground fault, three-line-to-ground fault, and line-to-line fault.

The flexible AC transmissions system (FACTS) is the underpinning concept upon which are based promising means to avoid effectively power flow bottlenecks and ways to extend the loadability of existing power transmission networks. This paper proposes a method by which the optimal locations of the FACTS to be installed in power system under cost function. The optimal solution of this type of problem requires large scale nonlinear optimization techniques. We used Lagrange multipliers to solve a nonlinear equation with equality and ineaquality constraints. Case studies on the standard IEEE 14 bus system show that the method can be implemented successfully and that it is effective for determining the optimal location of the FACTS.

This paper evaluates FACTS control on the available transfer capability (ATC) enhancement. Technical merits of FACTS technology on boosting ATC are analyzed. More effective control means for line flow and bus voltage require the application of FACTS. In this paper, the power flow calculation method for the power systems with FACTS is based on the current injection model (CIM) and the Newton-Raphson method. An integrated scheme for ATC calculation, which considers the dynamic characteristic of the power system, is suggested. The study is applied to the IEEE 57-bus power system to demonstrate the effectiveness of FACTS control on ATC enhancement.

Installation of FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission System) device can maximize utilization of existing power facilities and reliability of power system. STATCOM has excellent characteristics in operating cost, maintaining facilities, loss and so on. However, STATCOM has a disadvantage of facility cost over capacity. So it is effective to coordinate STATCOM and existing external bank(capacitor and reactor) and OLTC(On Load Tap Changer). This paper mainly proposes coordinative control method between STATCOM installed within substation and other reactive power resources including Shunt Reactors and Shunt Capacitors and OLTC for voltage stability improvement. The proposed coordinative control method is developed for the STATCOM of Mi-gum substation and the simulation results of EMTP/RV model show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission System) 기기들은 전력계통의 경제적이고 안정적인 운용과 제어에 더 많은 유연성을 제공할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 FACTS 기기들은 기존의 전력 계통 설비들과는 달리 그 특성이 매우 비선형적이고 복잡하기 때문에 기존 전력 계통의 동적 시뮬레이션 알고리즘에 적용시키는 것이 매우 어렵다. 이러한 어려움을 해결하기 위하여 전압원 인버터(Voltage Sourced Inverter) 형태의 FACTS 기기를 병렬 형태로 주입되는 전류로 등가화 하여 기존의 시뮬레이션 알고리즘에 적용하는 방법이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 이 전류 주입형 기법을 이용하여 다수의 FACTS 기기들이 설치된 계통의 동적 안정도 해석 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 서로 다른 형태의 FACTS 기기들이 설치된 경우에도 적용될 수 있으며 이를 이용하여 서로 다른 FACTS 모델들 간의 조합에 의한 계통의 안정도 변화를 사례연구를 통하여 보일 것이다.

This paper presents a dynamic simulation of the unified power flow controller (UPFC) using a current injection method. Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices give more flexibility of control for security and economic operation of power systems. Diffculties of modeling UPFC in the conventional dynamic simulation programs arise from the fact that the injected voltage by the series inverter is superimposed on the shunt inverter side voltage. A solution can be a current injection method, in which a serial part of UPFC is converted to a parallel equivalent circuit using source transformation, and two current sources affect each other at every time step. To verify efficiency of this method, the proposed model is applied for the transient analysis of an example power system.

전력계통에서 발생하는 고장의 70-95%는 1선지락 고장이고, 1선지락 고장의 70-90%는 아크고장이다. 아크고장이 발생하였을 경우, 아크고장과 같은 일시고장을 제거하고 투입하는 방법으로 자동재폐로가 사용되며 적절한 자동재폐로는 계통의 신뢰도 향상과 안정도 유지의 역할을 수행한다. 또한 송전용량 증대 및 무효전력 제어를 위한 FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission System, 유연송전시스템)기기의 사용이 증가함에 따라 FACTS가 적용된 계통에서 자동재폐로 영향을 분석해야 할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다양한 계통 상황을 보기 위해 기존의 멀티에이전트 기반의 자동재폐로가 적용된 계통에 FACTS을 적용하여 자동재폐로시의 영향을 분석하였다. EMTP와 JADE(Java Agent DEvelopment framework)를 이용하여 자동재폐로 계통 및 멀티에이전트 시스템을 모의하였으며, SVC(Static VAR Compensator)에 의한 영향을 분석하였다.

This paper describes the operation effect of FACTS devices in the Korean power system. At the year of 2010, three FACTS devices is under commercial operation in the Seoul area. Among them, 345kV ${\pm}100MVA$ STATCOM at Mi-Geum substation and 345kV ${\pm}200MVA$ SVC at Dong-Seoul substation are very close at their electrical and geographical distance. Therefore, the additional analysis including interaction and mutual transient is necessary. Therefore, a detailed EMTDC/PSCAD simulation model was developed and steady-state/transient analysis was implemented.
