The structure of a power distribution system will change in a loop configuration such as in the case of a smart grid. If power distribution system changes radial to loop form, the structure may have to be changed significantly. Therefore, we analyzed the reliability indices and calculated a CIC(Customer Interruption Cost) for the loop power distribution system. The power distribution system reliability depends on the protection scheme. This study is applied to the current protection scheme method and is compared with each model. When the CIC was evaluated, most studies performed calculations only for sustained interruptions. However, in actuality, momentary interruption frequencies occurred more than sustain interruptions. Thus, it is occurred the CIC additively. Therefore, we evaluated a CIC including momentary interruption, for each model, and then compared with MAIFI(Momentary Average Interruption Frequency Index)

Power quality problems such as momentary interruptions and voltage sags do not great influence on loads at past. However, the interests in power quality problems increase as the use of sensitive loads with microprocessor like computers increases recently. Accordingly, power system reliability research focusing to sustained interruption and momentary interruption partially needs more accurate evaluation methods including momentary and instantaneous problems. That is, many sensitive loads being tripped by voltage sags result in interruption costs. In this paper, new reliability worth evaluation method is presented considering voltage sags. We calculated the magnitude of voltage sags using fault studies and the duration of voltage sags using the trip time of protective relays for each fault. Moreover, we includes the customer interruption cost resulted from sensitive load trip by voltage sags. Through case studies, we evaluate the effects of voltage sags for permanent faults.

Power interruption is a phenomenon that no voltage is displayed over a short time or long time. Most devices will not operate normally when the supply voltage is low or does not exist. However, the device can also be operated with a different power which is ensured by a separate power generation. Recently, power interruption has been reduced gradually by the improvement of electricity quality, its duration also has been very short. Induction motors are widely used for the pumping in the water and sewage facilities and power plant applications. The pump is used as a machine for moving the fluid in the high place from a low location. So pump equipment always have a potential energy. If a momentary interruption occurs, the potential energy of the pump is reversed as that of water turbine and motor is operated as generator. This study is an analysis for the voltage variation, current, torque and power flow by the generating operation of the induction motor before and after the change of momentary interruption.

This paper presents a reliability evaluation method for considering the voltage quality. The proposed evaluation methods are contained the sustained interruption, momentary interruption and voltage sag. For momentary interruption, evaluation indexes are divided the duration based index and the interruption cost index. For voltage sag, the final result of evaluation method represents the magnitude for customers' risk due to the voltage sag. The proposed method is tested using the RBTS model and a reliability data in KEPCO's system.

This study presents a Power Quality(:PQ) costs calculation methodology based on Value-Based Methodology. A SCDF including Voltage Sag Costs is presented to calculate Sustained Interruption Costs, Momentary Interruption Costs, and Voltage Sags Costs. Authors compared between interruption costs without Back-Up Power Supply and interruption costs with Back-Up Power Supply, and showed reduction of interruption costs by investing Back-UP Power Supply by multi-lateral analyzation. By applying this method to the real system, evaluated and analyzed power quality of the system.

1) 제어봉의 전자 클러치는 직류전원 공급 장치에 의해 12V의 직류 전력을 공급받으며 전압 강하에 대한 내성이 좋다. 제어봉은 10V의 전압이 525msec 이상 지속될 때 전자력 상실로 낙하한다. 완전정전(0V)이 발생하여도 직류전원 공급 장치는 500msec 동안 전자클러치에 직류전력을 공급하여 제어봉의 연결 상태를 유지하도록 한다. 2) 정지봉 계통에 대한 전압강하의 영향은 제어회로를 구성하는 전자접촉기의 개방에 의하여 펌프의 전원공급이 차단되고, 그 결과 정지봉이 낙하한다. 정지봉은 펌프의 전원이 상실되면 수압 실린더의 압력 상실로 약 1000msec 후에 낙하한기 시작한다. 그림 2는 제어봉 및 정지봉에 대한 정전 영향을 시간에 따라 표시한 것이다. 3) 1차 및 2차 냉각계통의 부족전압 계전기에 의해 펌프가 정지할 때까지 저유량 신호 및 N/T mismatch 신호에 의한 원자로 정지신호는 발생되지 않는다. 따라서 정지봉 및 제어봉 계통에 적용하고자 하는 순간정전 보상장치는 부족전압 계전기 동작시간 이내의 보상시간에서만 가능할 것이다.

This paper presents an approach to quantitatively evaluate customers' effect due to automatic reclosing of power distribution systems. This proposed approach assess the customers' effect on equip ment halt by predicting a momentary interruption and voltage sag and analyzing the impact of customers' equipment sensitive to electric disturbances. Simulation results show that the increment of the number of reclosing improves the service reliability, but deteriorates the power quality for customers. The proposed approach utilizes the determination of automatic reclosing scheme and distribution system planning.anning.

Micro-SMES(Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage) has been studied as an impulsive high power supply for industrial applications. Recently, electric power reliability of our country has been improved. However, there are still remaining problems which are short-duration variations like instantaneous and momentary interruption and voltage sag by nature calamity ; typhoon, lightning, snow, etc. Besides, power quality ; harmonics, goes down because of using power electronics equipments. Malfunction of controller and stop machinery, and losing important data are caused by poor power quality at a couple of second in accuracy controllers. Due to those, battery based UPS has been used, but there are several disadvantages ; long charge and discharge time, environmental problem by acid and heavy metal, and short life time. Micro-SMES is an alternative to settle problems mentioned above. However, there need huge system apparatuses in order to verify the effect of system efficiency and stability considering the size of micro-SMES, the sort of converter type, and various conditions. This paper presents a cost effective simulation method of micro-SMES and power converter, and design for micro-SMES based system using PSCAD/EMTDC.
