This paper presents a voltage analysis method of distribution systems interconnected with DG(Distributed Generation). Nowadays, small scale DG becomes to be introduced into power distribution systems. But in that case, it is difficult to properly maintain the terminal voltage of low voltage customers by using only ULTC(Under Load Tap Changer). This paper presents a voltage analysis method of distribution systems with DC for proper voltage regulation of power distribution systems with ULTC. In order to develop the voltage analysis method, distribution system modeling method and advanced loadflow method are proposed. Proposed method has been applied to a 22.9 kV practical power distribution systems.

Recently, there has been growing interest in utilizing cogeneration(COGN) systems with a high-energy efficiency due to the increasing energy consumption and the lacking of energy resource. But an insertion of COGN system to existing power distribution system can cause several problems such as voltage variations, harmonics, protective coordination, increasing fault current etc, because of reverse power of COGN, especially in protective coordination. A study on a proper coordination with existing one is being required. The existing power distribution system is operated with radial type by one source and protection system is composed based on unidirectional power source. But an Insertion of COGN system to power distribution system change existing unidirectional power source system to bidirectional power source. Therefore, investigation to cover whole field of power distribution system must be accomplished such as changing of protection devices rating by increasing fault current, reevaluation of protective coordination. In this paper, simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC was accomplished to analyze effect of COGIN on distribution fault current. Also, the existing protection system of 22.9[kV] power distribution system and customers protection system to protect of COGIN was analyzed and the study on protective coordination between of two protection system accomplished.

The existing power flow has a single direction to the line end but the bidirectional power flow will possibly occur depending on the output capacity in the 22.9[kV] distribution power system connected with the dispersed generation(DG). So these characteristics would influence the power system management. The DG have many advantages such as assistance source, Load share etc. So the utility must apply the bidirectional protection system so as to maximize an advantage of DG. This paper describes the field test case of bidirectional protective device in order to investigate the device performance when applied to bidirectional power system. We have tested in the power system test site of KEPCO and these tests provide the basis for performance verification test of bidirectional protective device in the power system.

The cogeneration facilities (COGN) into the power distribution system can cause operational problems - reenergization of distribution feeders under repair by utility personnel, voltage variation and regulation because of output power of COGN, and lost of coordination at emergency state - on an electrical utility system. This paper deals with momentary voltage dips as the parallel interconnection operation of COGN in the power distribution system. PSCAD/EMTDC simulation tool is used to show the behavior of momentary voltage dips. In addition, restraint solution for momentary voltage variation is presented.

This paper mainly proposes the protective coordination scheme of the microgrid system. The microgrid protection is identical to the conventional protection system separating the normal part and contingency part to reduce damage when the contingency occur at power cables, facilities. But they are different in the protection type. The conventional protection system only considers unidirectional current. However the microgrid protection should be considered not only unidirectional current but also backfeed current because various microsources and loads are installed in the microgrid system. In case the contingency occurs in microsource, when microgrid is interconnected to grid, the protection system should be configured to not separate microgrid from grid before the microsource is isolated to microgrid. And in case of fault occur in power system, the microsources should not isolated to microgrid before the static switch at PCC is tripped to separate from power system. Considering these characteristic of microgird, this paper proposes the protective coordination scheme of microgrid and implemented the on-line real time monitoring system. Especially in case the microgrid is connected to low voltage distribution system with 220/380V voltage level, the proposed protection method with power IT technology can solve the problems when the existing protective devices only applied to the microgrid system.

When electric power systems expand and become more interconnected, the fault current levels increase in the distribution system. Therefore, we studied the influence of the power system according to application of a resistive FCL. In this paper, the distribution system and the resistive FCL were modeled by using EMTP (Electromagnetic Transients Program), which simulates the effect of the resistive FCL for the single line ground fault in distribution system.

This paper proposes various design procedures for computing Power System Ancillary Service Requirement Assessment Indices (PSASRAI) for a Two-Area Thermal Reheat Interconnected Power System (TATRIPS) in a restructured environment. In an interconnected power system, a sudden load perturbation in any area causes the deviation of frequencies of all the areas and also in the tie-line powers. This has to be corrected to ensure the generation and distribution of electric power companies to ensure good quality. A simple Proportional and Integral (PI) controllers have wide usages in controlling the Load Frequency Control (LFC) problems. So the design of the PI controller gains for the restructured power system are obtained using Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) algorithm. From the simulation results, the PSASRAI are calculated based on the settling time and peak over shoot concept of control input deviations of each area for different possible transactions. These Indices are useful for system operator to prepare the power system restoration plans. Moreover, the LFC loop coordinated with Redox Flow Batteries (RFB) has greatly improved the dynamic response and it reduces the control input requirements and to ensure improved PSASRAI, thereby improving the system reliability.

This paper analyze the bus voltage sags in the power distribution system with a small scale cogeneration system when the superconducting fault current limiter was introduced. Among the solutions to decrease the short-circuit current considering the locations of the small scale cogeneration system, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been announced as one of the promising methods to reduce the fault current because the installation of the small scale cogeneration system which increases the short-circuit current. According to the application locations of the small scale cogeneration system in a power distribution system, it has caused the variations of voltage sag and duration which depends on the change of the short-circuit current, which can make the operation of the protective device deviate from its original set value when the fault occurs. To investigate the voltage sag when a SFCL was applied into a power distribution system where the small scale cogeneration system was introduced into various locations, the SFCL, small scale cogeneration system, and power system are modeled using PSCAD/EMTDC. In this paper, the effects on voltage sags are assessed when the SFCL is installed in power distribution system with various locations of the small scale cogeneration system.

This paper describes a new method for determining the permissible operating range of DG(Distributed Generation) when DG is introduced into power distribution systems of which the voltage is controlled by LDC(Line Drop Compensator). Much of the DG installed during the next millennium will be accomplished through the reconstruction of the electric power industry. But in that case, it is difficult to properly maintain the terminal voltage of low voltage customers by using only LDC. This paper presents a method for determining the permissible operating range of DG for proper voltage regulation of power distribution systems with LDC. Proposed method has been applied to a 22.9 kV model and practical distribution systems, and its result is almost identical with the simulation result.

제주의 전력계통은 HVDC로 육지계통과 연계되어 있으며, 2곳의 풍력발전단지가 연계되어 있다. 향후 대용량의 풍력발전이 연계된 상황에서 HVDC Overhaul을 시행하거나 어떤 사고로 HVDC가 끊어진다면 제주계통을 정상적으로 유지하는 것이 어려울 수도 있다. 이에 본 논문은 Overhaul 및 풍력발전이 제주계통에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 분석하기 위하여 지난 5월에 이루어진 Overhaul 기간에 변전소 2곳 및 풍력발전단지 2곳을 선정하여 전력품질을 측정하고 분석하였다. 또한 풍력발전량에 따른 인근 D/L의 전력품질을 측정함으로써 풍력발전이 전력계통에 미치는 영향을 분석하였고 그 영향정도가 명확하지 않은 부분에 대해서는 통계 데이터를 이용하여 분석하였다. Overhaul 기간에는 주파수가 매우 불안정하였으며, 전압왜형률이 규정치를 초과하기도 하였다. 풍력발전량에 비례한 고조파 전류가 계통으로 유입되었으며, 발전량이 3,000[kW] 이상일 때 인근 D/L의 전압파형이 발전량에 비례하여 왜곡되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
