In the case of HTS Resistive type Superconducting Fault Current Limiter(SFCL), its possibility has been discussed due to its theory and a simple structure. The Resistive type SFCL can be useful for the protection of the power delivery systems from fault current. Effective simulation scheme that can be applied to the utility network readily and cheaply under various conditions considering the sort of faults, the capacity of systems as well are strongly expected and emphasized among researchers. This paper proposes a simulation skill of resistive type SFCL using PSCAD/EMTDC.

Micro-Grid comprising Micro-Sources supplying several $kW{\sim}MW$ power to local customers is environmentally friendly and reliable. This paper deals with the development of simulation models of Micro-Grid on the PSCAD/EMTDC platform for analyzing various aspects of the interaction of the Micro-Grid. The developed switching level model adopts the space vector PWM. Both switching level and power frequency Micro-Source models are developed, which shows that power frequency modeling is sufficient for analyzing the phenomena of interest. Control characteristics of the Micro-Sources with the parameter and load power variation are analyzed for power quality enhancement. The simulation results show that the developed models are effective for studying Micro-Grid.

A Vacuum Circuit Breaker Model for simulation of transient overvoltages was developed by using the PSCAD/EMTDC. The Model includes the power frequency chopping current. Breaker withstand voltage, and quenching capability of High frequency currents. To verify the abilities of the breaker model, the simulation on the Lindmayer's single-phase circuit was carried out. The results show that using the proposed model, the transient overvoltages, current chopping, and multiple reignitions of vacuum breaker are properly reproduced as real phenomena. In further study, virtual chopping current will be incorporated into the model for 3 phase system.

Although the researches and developments are performed for superconducting technologies, many problems such as AC loss and quench phenomenon still remain to design the superconducting transformer. In addition, pre-study on the three phase high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer is a sort of time and expense consuming work, thus it is very worthy of being analyzing the characteristics of HTS transformer in advance through proper simulation programs and skills. This paper presents an effective simulation method for the three phase HTS transformer using components developed in the PSCAD/EMTDC.

The power generated by a Photovoltaic(PV) cell depends on the operating voltage of the array, its voltage-current and voltage-power characteristic curves specify a unique operating point at which maximum possible power is delivered and the array is operated at its highest efficiency. PSCAD/EMTDC, which is a simulation tool for the transient analysis of an electric power system, was used to simulate the PV Cell system. So, in this paper, the PV cell components of the PSCAD/EMTDC were developed, and the Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) modeling was used for the developed PV power system to find the maximum power.

The modelling of PEMFC(Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell) has been studied in many kinds of methods. But there are some limitations in application of the developed models to analysis transient phenomena of power systems. The PSCAD/EMTDC is very popular simulation tool in power system areas. To analysis power systems interconnected to PEMFCs, the PSCAD/EMTDC model of the PEMFCs is needed. In this paper, we developed a PSCAD/EMTDC model of PEMFC based on electro-chemical characteristic equations of PEMFC. Also, we performed simulations using the developed model in the PSCAD/EMTDC program and tested appropriateness of the proposed the models. The simulations showed good results.

The functional test of protection relays is divided into two kind of test types; the steady-state test and dynamic test. Because the steady-state test is comparatively easy, this test is used to test the characteristics of the relaying elements, operating values, resetting values and etc. using equipment such as Doble. But the dynamic test has to be performed on the test environment with RTDS(real time digital simulator) because of the dynamic characteristics of real protection relays. Therefore, it is not usually easy to perform dynamic test of relays using power system simulation tool based on PC(personal computer) such as PSCAD/EMTDC. This paper discusses how to develop and implement a test model and user-defined components that can be performed dynamic test using PSCAD/EMTDC.

In this paper, we analyzed the short circuit current of a low voltage direct current distribution system. For the analysis, we performed the modeling of the low voltage direct current distribution system with a 6-pulse three-phase thyristor rectifier using the PSCAD/EMTDC, surveyed impedance of sources, transformers and distribution lines to run a simulation. A result of the simulation is that short circuit currents of the direct current distribution system with the rectifier decreased due to a thyristor-ON-resistance(Ron). But in case of the low thyristor-ON resistance, output fault current of the rectifier increased over three-phase short circuit current of an AC power system without a rectifier by regular ratio of the rectifier. Because the output fault current of the rectifier can increase over interrupting the capacity of circuit breakers, studying short circuit currents of a low voltage direct current distribution system with a rectifier is necessary for introducing the direct current distribution systems.

This paper Presents an effective modeling scheme of high temperature superconducting transformer. So far there were numerical modeling and designs for conventional transformers for various applications. Recently, the interest and the R&D in superconducting technology and devices such as superconducting generator, motor, cable, fault current limiter and transformer have been increased gradually. With those interests, this paper proposes a simulation model of high temperature superconducting transformer using PSCAD/EMTDC, which can be applied to the utility network simulation readily under various system conditions.
