The benefits of utilizing energy exchange between the main land and Cheju island in Korea make it interesting to establish new HVDC sea cable interconnections. A total power of 350 MW or more can then be exchanged through the HVDC links including the existing Cheju HVDC #1 interconnection. A feasibility study base on economical benefits has been carried out. Especially the comparison of economy benefit between thermal power plant, LNG power plant and HVDC system shows that HVDC system is the only solution in Cheju island. Also, this paper shows that additiona 1 HVDC system help to enhance the stability of power system.

This paper describes a feasibility analysis result of STATCOM application for the Jeju-Haenam HVDC system. The Jeju-Haenam HVDC system is one of the typical HVDC system interconnected with the low short-circuit-ratio AC system, which is vulnerable to the commutation failure due to the AC voltage variation. STATCOM has been considered as an effective reactive-power compensator to increase short-circuit-ratio of the interconnected AC system. In this study, a simulation model of Jeju-Hacnam HVDC system with STATCOM was developed using PSCAD/EMTDC. The developed simulation model was utilized to analyze the dynamic performance analysis of Jeju-Haenam HVDC system with STATCOM. The analysis results show that STATCOM can improve the dynamic performance of Jeju-Haenam HVDC system, such as load-change recovery performance and fault recovery performance.

This paper describes the feasibility study of HVDC system application to KEPCO power system for increasing power transfer capability or the flexibility of power delivery from one area to the other using the existing transmission line. This paper assumes the 345kV transmission line connecting between Shinokchun and Sedaegu to be converted to the DC line by replacing the AC insulator with that of DC. Then, the HVDC bipole system of 1000MVA with $\pm300kV$ is designed and the contingency studies are carried out.

The case that HVDC system is connected to the strong AC network has little the considering problems. However, because there are many problems(example for voltage stability, inertia and low frequency resonance) in case of connecting the weak AC system, a detailed attentions are needed. In particular, because HVDC system can control the flow of AC network freely, have to contain the range of stability and safe operation range. This paper deals with HVDC control algorithms, which are operated within 1 second on viewpoint of time domain, that is, transient stability. The target of HVDC introduced in this paper is Jindo-Cheju HVDC system, which will be operated at 2011. And the introduced algorithm can be actually implemented to Jindo-Cheju HVDC system.

100년전 토마스 에디슨이 주장한 직류 전력 전송 방식인 DC 송전은 AC 송전보다 장거리 송전 시 손실이 적고 안정도가 좋다. 또한 다른 주파수를 가진 두 지역을 연계하여 전력을 전송 할 수있으며 전력 조류를 제어할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나, AC와 DC전력간의 변환 장치를 필요로 하여 설비 구축 비용이 비싸다는 점과 고도의 제어기술 및 검증 기술이 요구된다는 단점은 이제 굳이 논할 필요도 없는 사실이다. 이에 수년전부터 국내에서도 손실이 적고 안정도가 좋다는 장점이 지속적으로 부각되고 있으며 친 환경 발전 및 스마트 그리드의 호황 속에 DC 송전 기술의 필요성은 차세대 기술로 각광받으며 DC 고압 직류 방식인 HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current, 이하 HVDC)에 대한 연구 및 사업이 시작되었다. 그러나, HVDC 시스템의 손실 측정은 계산으로 인해 이루어지고 있으며, 이에 대한 실측 방안은 현재 없다. 또한 시스템 설계 시, 고려해야 하는 시스템의 Feasibility 및 신뢰성에서 손실은 중요한 지표 중의 하나이다. 그러나, HVDC 를 개발하고 설치, 운전하여 양도 또는 인수하는 과정에서 손실은 전력 요금과 직결되기 때문에 계산 및 측정에 대한 논란이 있는 실정이다. 계산 및 측정하는 HVDC의 손실은 무부하 손실 및 부하 손실로 구분된다. 본 논문에서는 현재 사용되고 있는 손실 계산 방법을 소개하고 당사에서 측정을 실시한 HVDC 손실 측정 방법에 대해서 소개하고자 한다.

This paper describes an optimized Scheme of reactive-power compensation for the low short-circuit-ratio AC system interconnected with the HVDC system. An HVDC system interconnected with tile low SCR AC system is vulnerable to the ac voltage variation, which brings about the commutation failure of the converter. This problem can be solved using optimized compensation of reactive power. In this study, a benchmark system for HVDC system interconnected with low SCR AC system is derived using PSS/E simulation. Then an optimized srheme for reactive power compensation was derived using integer programming. The feasibility of proposed scheme was analyzed through silnulations with PSS/E and PSCAD/EMTDC. The proposed scheme can compensate the reactive power accurately and minimize the number of switching for harmonic filters and shunt reactors.

Although the demand for electricity has been increasing these days, it becomes more difficult to find new sites for large-scale power generation plants near urban areas due to environmental and economic issues. Therefore, new power plants are forced off to rural or desolate coastal areas. As a result, there is significant regional imbalance in power generation and consumption between urban and rural areas in South Korea. This paper investigates the feasibility of high-voltage DC (HVDC) system as a candidate for electric power transmission system from east-coastal sites to metropolitan area. To this end, this paper analyzes transient stability and dynamic impact of a HVDC transmission system and compares the results to conventional high-voltage AC (HVAC) transmission systems via PSS/E simulation. This paper also examines the effect of HVDC system to voltage variation and low-frequency resonance in the neighboring buses in the grid using ESCR(Effective Short Circuit Ratio)과 UIF(Unit Interaction Factor) indices.
