Small-scale reactors have recently attracted attention as a potential power generation source for the future. The Regional Energy Research Institute for Next Generation is currently developing a small-scale reactor called Regional Energy rX 10 MVA (REX-10). The current paper deals with a power system to be used with small-scale reactors for multi-purpose regional energy systems. This small nuclear system can supply electric and thermal energy like a co-generation system. The electrical model of the REX-10 has been developed as a part of the SCADA system. REX-10's dynamic and electromagnetic performance on the power system is analyzed. Simulations are carried out on a test system based on Ulleung Island's power system to validate REX-10 availability on a power system. RSCAD/RTDS and PSS/E software tools are used for the simulation.

As more and more cores are integrated on a single chip, power consumption has become an important problem in system-on-a-chip (SoC) design. Multiple supply voltage (MSV) design is one of popular solutions to reduce power consumption. We propose a new method that determines voltage level of cores before floorplanning stage. Besides, our algorithm includes a new approach to optimize wire length and the number of level shifters without any significant decrease of power saving. In simulation, we achieved 40-52% power saving and a considerable improvement in runtime, whereas an increase in wire length and area is less than 8%.

This paper proposes the fuel cell power plants as alternative energy sources for distributed generation in Jeju Island, Korea. This will help to increase the fuel efficiency, at least double the current thermal power plants, decrease environmental pollution, virtually to none, increase the reliability of power supply, reducing the dependency of the HVDC link, and provide quality power to the growing infrastructure in meeting the requirements for the free-trade international island.

This paper analyzes the characteristics of the power system of Jeju island in 2014, which has wind farms with the support of BESSs (Battery Energy Storage Systems). In the simulation, the electrical loads are predicted based on Korea Power Exchange's data and the wind turbines are considered with new installed plans within 2014. The situation that some wind farms are forced to disconnect from the grid instantaneously is considered. The BESSs are controlled by using SOC (State of Charge) and power smoothing control algorithm. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) provides a new advanced technology solution to improve the flexibility, controllability, and stability of a power system. The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is outstanding for regulating power flow in the FACTS; it can control the real power, reactive power, and node voltage of distribution networks. This paper investigates the performance of the UPFC for power flow control with a series of step changes in rapid succession in a power system steady state and the response of the UPFC to distribution network faults and islanding mode. Simulation was carried out using the MATLAB's simulink sim power systems toolbox. The results, which were carried out on a 5-bus test system and a 4-bus multi-machine electric power system, show clearly the effectiveness and viability of UPFC in rapid response and independent control of the real and reactive power flows and oscillation damping [6].

As the grid-connected photovoltaic power conditioning systems (PVPCS) are installed in many residential areas, this has raised potential problems of network protection on electrical power system. One of the numerous problems is an Island phenomenon. There has been an argument that because the probability of islanding is extremely low it may be a non-issue in practice. However, there are three counter-arguments: First, the low probability of islanding is based on the assumption of 100% power matching between the PVPCS and the islanded local loads. In fact, an island can be easily formed even without 100% power matching (the power mismatch could be up to 30% if only traditional protections are used, e.g. under/over voltage/frequency). The 30% power-mismatch condition will drastically increase the islanding probability. Second, even with a larger power mismatch, the time for voltage or frequency to deviate sufficient to cause a trip, plus the time required to execute the trip (particularly if conventional switchgear is required to operate), can easily be greater than the typical re-close time on the distribution circuit. And, third, the low-probability argument is based on the study of PVPCS. Especially, if the output power of PVPCS equals to power consumption of local loads, it is very difficult for the PVPCS to sustain the voltage and frequency in an island. Unintentional islanding of PVPCS may result in power-quality issues, interference to grid-protection devices, equipment damage, and even personnel safety hazards. So the verification of anti-islanding performance is strongly needed. In this paper, the authors propose the improved RPV method through considering power quality and anti-islanding capacity of grid-connected three-phase PVPCS in IEEE Std 1547 ("Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources to Electric Power Systems"). And the simulation and experimental results are verified.

This paper will discuss the steps in building a wind farm and the modelling of AC power system for wind power generation. And take the JeJu island for an example, with its good wind power energy resource, the most important factor for a wind farm is a good power system interconnection to decrease the power loss including the transmission loss as less as possible. So in this paper, after the JEJU wind energy analysis, we will mainly discuss the development of the modelling on JEJU AC power system by using PSCAD. And also for using the real data of the wind power in the simulation, the modelling of the JeJu power system in 2011 will also be presented in this paper.

This paper presents the method to determine the battery capacity for controlling the wind power with BESS for stabilizing the output of HanGeong wind farm in accordance with grid codes for distributed generators in Jeju Island. To find appropriate capacity of BESS, three kinds of simulations are carried out : There are focused on smoothing control, the frequency fluctuation and the renewable energy resources standards, respectively. As the simulation result, maximum C-rates of BESS for the wind farm are calculated as 2C, 5C and 2C that are for each method and battery capacities have 25%, 20% and 10% of total capacity of HanGeong wind farm. Finally, simulations for this paper are carried out by using PSCAD/EMTDC.

This paper deals with commutation failure of the line-commutated converter high voltage direct current (LCC HVDC) system caused by a three phase fault in the ac power system. An analytic calculation method is proposed to estimate the maximum permissible voltage drop at the LCC HVDC station on various operating point and to assess the area of vulnerability for commutation failure (AOV-CF) in the power system based on the residual phase voltage equation. The concept is extended to multi-infeed HVDC power system as the area of severity for simultaneous commutation failure (AOS-CF). In addition, this paper presents the implementation of a shunt compensator applying to the proposed method. An analysis and simulation have been performed with the IEEE 57 bus sample power system and the Jeju island power system in Korea.
