The operational cost for maintaining the superconductivity of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cables needs to be reduced for feasible operation. It depends on factors such as AC loss and heat transfer from the outside. Effective operation requires design optimization and suitable operational conditions. Generally, it is known that critical currents increase and AC losses decrease as the operational temperature of liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) is lowered. However, the cryo-cooler consumes more power to lower the temperature. To determine the effective operational temperature of the HTS cable while considering the critical current and AC loss, critical currents of the HTS cable conductor were measured under various temperature conditions using sub-cooled $LN_2$ by Stirling cryo-cooler. Next, AC losses were measured under the same conditions and their variations were analyzed. We used the results to select suitable operating conditions while considering the cryo-cooler's power consumption. We then recommended the effective operating temperature for the HTS cable system installed in an actual power grid in KEPCO's 154/22.9 kV transformer substation.

The transmission networks are not perfect conductors and a percentage of the power generated is therefore lost before it reaches the loads. This network loss contributes to the cost of suppling power to consumers, and must be considered if the most efficient dispatch and location of generators and loads is to be achieved. In this paper, we propose an approximate calculation of marginal loss factors to analyze characteristics of regional transmission loss. These static marginal loss factors are approximately calculated based on the KEPCO's expected summer peak load data of year 2000.

Network reconfiguration is performed by opening/closing two types of switches, tie and sectionalizing switches. A whole feeder, or part of a feeder, may be served from another feeder by closing a tie switch linking the two while an appropriate sectionalizing switch must be opened to maintain radial structures. In loss reduction, the problem is to identify tie and sectionalizing switches that should be closed and opened, respectively, to achieve a maximum loss reduction. In this paper, it is introduced to propose the reconfiguration plan for loss reduction by using the Civanlar's loss reduction formular.

In this paper, static marginal loss factors are calculated that represent the impact of marginal network losses on nodal prices at the transmission network connection points at which generators and loads are located. These static marginal loss factors are approximately calculated based on the KEPCO's expected summer peak load data of year 2000. Based on comparison analysis of marginal loss factors on generation energy resources, we can find the characteristics of each plants according to its energy resources in KOREA.

As the charges/discharges of VRFB-ESS were repeated during 150cycles or more, the capacity of electrolyte in VRFB-ESS was decreased little by little. It results from the decreasing of the level of anolyte and the increasing of the valance value of the catholyte. Then, we tried to recover the capacity loss with 3 different ways. The first way was that the levels of anolyte and catholyte were allowed to be evenly equalized when the difference in the levels of two different electrolytes were severe. The second one was to lessen the valance value of the catholyte through the reduction reaction to 4-valant ions of 5-valant ions in the catholyte with the reductant, oxalic acid. The last one was that the all electrolytes of analyte and catholyte were allowed to be electro-chemically reduced to 3.5 of the valance value by oxidizing new electrolyte with 3.5 valance ions. The last way was the most effective to recover the capacity loss.

This paper evaluates probabilistic reliability of KEPCO system using TRELSS, which is a probabilistic reliability evaluation program for large-scaled power system. In order to systematically evaluate probabilistic reliability of KEPCO system, contingency cases causing load loss in (N-1) & (N-2) contingency depth was analyzed and reliability indices such as LOLP, EDLC, EENS according to change of FOR was calculated.

In this study, the change of heat loss due to the degree of deterioration of the XPS insulation in KEPCO's office buildings is analyzed. The acceleration aging test of the XPS insulation was carried out according to the test method A of KS M ISO 11561: 2009. The performance of the insulation was analyzed by applying it to the three - dimensional steady state heat transfer analysis program. The acceleration aging test of the XPS insulation, show that the thermal resistance performance decreased by 1.44% at the A regional headquarters, 0.85% at the B regional headquarters, 6.41% at the C branch office, 7.76% at the D regional headquarters, 8.51% at the E branch office, and by 8.54% at the F branch office respectively. Using simulation, we determined that the thermal resistance value of E branch office decreased by 8.04%, while its heat loss increased by 8.52%. At A regional headquarters, the thermal resistance decreased by 1.38%, and the heat loss increased by 1.51%. At D regional headquarters, these value are 6.82% and 7.17%, respectively.

본 논문에서는 전력시장에서 원가 이하로 규제되고 있는 소매요금제도의 문제점을 분석하기 위해 규제된 소매요금 대신 시간별 도매시장가격의 변동을 반영하는 실시간 요금제를 도입할 경우 사회후생에 미치는 영항과 이와 같은 소매요금제도의 변화가 한국전력의 손실 규모를 어느 정도 보전할 수 있는지를 추정한다. 전력거래소의 전력통계정보시스템(EPSIS)과 에너지경제연구원 국가에너지통계종합정보시스템(KESIS), 통계청, 한국은행, 기상청의 2008~2010년 통계자료에 기초하여 실질소매가격, 온도, 가구수, 습도 실질 GDP, 그리고 요일 및 공휴일 더미 등을 설명변수로 이용하여 상대적으로 수요가 많은 여름(6~8월)과 겨울(12~2월)의 최대 부하시간대와 최저 부하시간대의 수요패턴을 분석하였다. 회귀분석을 통해 추정된 선형수요함수와 발전기별 한계비용에 기초하여 산정된 계단식 공급함수를 이용하여 규제된 소매요금이 시장균형가격인 실시간 요금으로 전환될 경우의 사회후생 변화를 살펴본 결과, 여름기간(6~8월)에는 사회후생이 약 674억 원 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 한전손실 총액 중 7,055억 원은 소비자잉여의 이전으로, 나머지 674억 원은 시중손실의 감소로 충당될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 겨울에는 사회후생 증대가 약 2,251억 원에 이르고, 한전의 손실 중 1조 1,743억 원이 소비자잉여의 전가로 보전될 수 있는 것으로 나타나 소매요금의 규제가 사중손실의 발생을 통해 전체 사회후생을 감소시키고, 한전에게 막대한 손실을 초래하고 있다는 결과를 도출하였다.
