There is a wide variety of system and applications in the power system. However, they have compatibility issues because they use different data standard and communication method. With the introduction of the smart grid, power system has been grow and diversified. Therefore power system need to be compatible with each other and the interoperability between applications is increasingly important. Thus, the IEC established IEC61970 and CIM Standard data exchange model for interoperability and system integration. Server-Client system was constructed which using CIM HSDA(Part4), a standard communication model, presented in IEC 619710. Also, self-developed real-time voltage stability analysis application and contingency analysis application was used. CIM HSDA was used for data input and real-time analysis. Tolerance of result which is in the range of allowable derived by Perform real-time voltage stability and contingency analysis of Jeju power system, and then compare it's result with PSS/E result.

With recent ESS (Energy Storage System) fire accident, the fault protection performance is becoming more important. However, there has never been any experiments with the protection performance on the faults in the ESS system level. In this study, the effect of AC ground fault and IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar mode Transistor) short-circuit failure on MW class ESS was performed experimentally for the first time in the world. First of all, the effect of the AC single line ground fault on battery was analyzed. Moreover, the transient voltage was investigated as a function of the battery capacity and the power level. Finally, the breaking capability and insulation performance of ESS were examined under PCS short-circuit fault condition. Through the tests, it was found that ESS protection system safely blocked the faulty current regardless of the faults, whereas the electronic parts such as IGBT and MC (Magnetic Contactor) were broken by the fault current. Also, the electrical breakdown in ESS resulted from the transient voltage during the protection process.

Cases of insulation breakdown damage of water-cooled generator stator windings occur frequently due to coolant leakage and water absorption worldwide. Such serious accidents may cause not only enormous economic loss but also very serious grid accidents in terms of stable supply of electric power. More than 50 % of domestic generators have been operated for more than 15 years, and leak and water absorption problem of windings are often found during the planned preventive maintenance period. Since 2005, leak and water absorption tests have been performed for total watercooled stator windings after fully drying the inside of the windings. The results are then comprehensively analyzed. The result of the test performed by GE, a foreign manufacturer, for 141 generators showed failures in 80 of them (failure rate: 57 %), whereas in the tests carried out in Korean domestic power plants, only 14 out of 50 generators showed failures (failure rate: 28 %).

Often a network becomes complex, and multiple entities would get in charge of managing part of the whole network. An example is a utility grid. While the entire grid would go under a single utility company's responsibility, the network is often split into multiple subsections. Subsequently, each subsection would be given as the responsibility area to the corresponding sub-organization in the utility company. The issue of how to make subsystems of adequate size and minimum number of interconnections between subsystems becomes more critical, especially in real-time simulations. Because the computation capability limit of a single computation unit, regardless of whether it is a high-speed conventional CPU core or an FPGA computational engine, it comes with a maximum limit that can be completed within a given amount of execution time. The issue becomes worsened in real time simulation, in which the computation needs to be in precise synchronization with the real-world clock. When the subject of the computation allows for a longer execution time, i.e., a larger time step size, a larger portion of the network can be put on a computation unit. This translates into a larger margin of the difference between the worst and the best. In other words, even though the worst (or the largest) computational burden is orders of magnitude larger than the best (or the smallest) computational burden, all the necessary computation can still be completed within the given amount of time. However, the requirement of real-time makes the margin much smaller. In other words, the difference between the worst and the best should be as small as possible in order to ensure the even distribution of the computational load. Besides, data exchange/communication is essential in parallel computation, affecting the overall performance. However, the exchange of data takes time. Therefore, the corresponding consideration needs to be with the computational load distribution among multiple calculation units. If it turns out in a satisfactory way, such distribution will raise the possibility of completing the necessary computation in a given amount of time, which might come down in the level of microsecond order. This paper presents an effective way to split a given electrical network, according to multiple criteria, for the purpose of distributing the entire computational load into a set of even (or close to even) sized computational loads. Based on the proposed system splitting method, heavy computation burdens of large-scale electrical networks can be distributed to multiple calculation units, such as an RTDS real time simulator, achieving either more efficient usage of the calculation units, a reduction of the necessary size of the simulation time step, or both.

In recent years wind turbine technology has undergone the rapid development in response to the demands for increased use of renewable sources of energy. Using wind turbines for production of electrical energy requires reliable operation. The increased share of wind power in electrical system makes it necessary to have grid-friendly interfaces between the wind turbines and the grid in order to maintain power quality. Increasingly wind turbines are being connected into electricity distribution system. The grid-connected wind power stations have many impacts on power systems such as voltage variations, harmonics. The paper investigates the influences of grid-connected wind power generation system on substation bus voltage.

The purpose of substation grounding system is to provide reference potential with power system and protect field workers from electrical shock resulted from unsymetrical power system faults. For this purpose, grounding grid should be designed to maintain max, touch voltage under safety criteria in fault conditions. It is difficult, however, to design a safe grounding grid at very resistive or narrow area. This paper describes an example of substation grounding grid design procedures in such areas with very severe design conditions. By using grounding conductors, which is located close to earth surface, earth surface potential could be controlled effectively, so that maximum touch voltages is to be maintained under safety criteria.

스마트그리드가 출현함에 따라 향후 배전계통에 태양광, 풍력, 연료전지, 전력저장장치, 전기자동차(V2G) 등의 분산전원의 연계는 급속도록 증가할 것이며 더불어 배전계통은 더욱 더 복잡하게 될 것이다. 이로 인해 발생하는 가장 큰 문제는 계통의 전압변동 문제이다. 복잡한 전압변동 문제를 해결하지 못하면 스마트그리드 계통의 전력품질과 안정도에 악영향을 끼칠 것이다. 스마트그리드 계통 하에서 분산전원의 위치는 변전소 근처 전원단부터 부하 말단까지 전원사업자의 필요에 따라 설치하게 될 것으로 지금까지의 전압변동, 조류계산 등의 모델링 방법으로는 해결하지 못하는 문제가 발생하게 될 것이다. 이 논문에서는 분산전원 배전계통 연계 용량 확대를 위해 실 선로의 실시간 전압 측정값을 이용한 분산전원 연계 스마트그리드 계통의 통합 전압관리안정화 방법에 대해 제안하고자 한다.

When DG interconnection into network is examined, details of the review are overvoltage, protective device malfunction, etc. In the case of protective device malfunction, replacing protective device into bi-directional protective device and installation NGR are the solution. Overvoltage at interconnection point occurs because the load is relatively less than DG output. When overvoltage at interconnection point occurs, DG interconnection is not permitted because this overvoltage affect other customers. Interconnection by installation new distribution line is one solution but it costs much money. Without installation new investment, change of NOP(Normal Open Point) position is a possible solution about DG interconnection into network.

신재생에너지 분야 중 가장 활발하게 개발 및 보급되는 태양광발전은 유한 에너지인 석유, 석탄, 천연 가스에 비해 비고갈성의 청정 에너지원으로 각광 받고있다. 화석연료를 사용하면서 발생 할 수 있는 지구환경 문제에 대처 할 수 있고, 수력이나 원자력발전과 달리 비교적 입지에 영향이 적을 뿐만 아니라 전력 수요지 근처에 설치하여 직접 전기에너지를 공급할 수 있는 이점이 있다. 반면에 그늘이나 구름 등 주변 환경에 영향을 많이 받고 넓은 부지와 높은 초기 투자비를 필요로 한다. 특히 태양광발전은 직류전력을 발생하므로 이를 교류로 변환시키는 태양광발전용 전력변환장치(Power Conditioning System; 이하 "PCS")가 필요하다. 본 고에서는 중소기업지원과제로 개발되어 한전 전력연구원의 태양광발전 실증시험장에서 실 계통 연계 운전을 통하여 취득한 50kW급 계통연계형 multi- string PCS의 초기 운전특성에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.
