Because of the difficulty of acquiring new generation sites and right- of-way, additional units have been added to the existing generation sites and the transmission system has been developed into highly meshed configuration. The reliable operation of power systems has been restricted by this system characteristics. The enhancement of system analysis techniques and establishment of appropriate measures have been required in this situation. In addition the deregulation of electric power industry in Korea would give rise to better tools fur power system analysis and control. In this paper, dynamic models were developed and stability studies were implemented using developed dynamic models of EUROSTAG and compared with the simulation results of PSS/E.

This paper describes dynamic characteristics test of distance relay and current differential relay using Real Time Digital Simulator on double circuit transmission line. First, The double circuit T/L modeling on RTDS was proposed and the results from the proposed model were compared with those of PSS/E. This comparison shows the possibility of dynamic test using the RTDS. The relay included about 20 test items which are apt to include maloperation of protective relays in critical situations.

The frequency is an important operating parameter of a power system. There is an increasing importance of constant monitoring of frequency to achieve stable power supply by WAMS(wide area monitoring system) and FNET(Frequency Monitoring Network). This paper is part of development of a network-based frequency monitoring and failure prediction system for wide-area intelligent protection relaying. In this paper, analysis of propagation speed of power frequency by generation drop using the PSS/E was carried out. For dynamic analysis, the 11 metropolitan areas offices of KEPCO divided into five groups of Seoul, Gangwon, Chungcheong, Honam, and Yeongnam group, study was performed.

Applicability and economical feasibility of a Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) have been investigated using the PSS/E simulation for a bus bar coupling at the real 154 ㎸ KEPCO power grid near Seoul. For the investigated substation, the maximum fault current exceeds the interruption rating of 4 circuit breakers (CB) out of 9 installed in the substation. The simulation showed that a SFCL installed in the bus tie position effectively limits the fault currents to save 4 CBs, which are to be replaced by ones of gloater interruption rating, otherwise. We suggest that the optimum resistance of the SFCL be 10 Ohm for the given grid.

In power system planing and operation, voltage and reactive power control are very important. The voltage deviation and system losses can be reduced through control of reactive power sources. In general, there are several different reactive power sources, we used UPFC and switched shunt capacitor to improve the voltage profile and to reduce system losses in this study. Since there are many switched shunt capacitors in power system, so it is necessary to coordinate these switched shunt capacitors. In this study, Genetic Algorithm(GA) is used to find optimal coordination of UPFC and switched shunt capacitors in a local area of power system. In case study, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated in KEPCO's power system. The simulation is performed by PSS/E.

This paper presents the procedure to construct equivalent model of large power system based on nonlinear time simulation responses. It consists of coherency identification, generator aggregation and network reduction. Coherency index that can be directly implemented to this procedure is proposed. Generator aggregation based on detailed model is performed. This procedure can be used to construct equivalent model in PSS/E. It is also possible to reduce the large power system directly from the nonlinear time responses. This procedure is applied to the transient stability analysis of Korea power system that now experiences rapid changes. The equivalent model is compared with the original model in its size, accuracy, speed and performance. This paper shows that the developed equivalent model is a good estimate of the original system.

This paper analyzes an eigenvalue distribution and enhancement of the small signal stabiligy when an Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) modeling is connected into the multi-machine power system. Recently a lot of attention has been paid to the subject of dynamic stability. It deals with analysis of eigenvalue sensitivities with respect to parameters of UPFC Controller and damping of interarea and local electromechanical oscillation modes using UPFC Controller. It provides an insight and understanding in the basic characteristics of damping effects of UPFC Controller and shows a very stable frequency response via UPFC in test model. The series branch of the UPFC is designed to damp the power oscillation during transients, while the shunt branch aims at maintaining the bus voltage and angle. Comprehensive time-domain simulation studies using PSS/E show that the proposed robost UPFC controller can enhance the small signal stability efficiently in spite of the variations of power system operating conditions.

This paper presents a graphical windows-based program for the education and training for novel network reduction. The object of developed simulator is to provide users with a simple and useable tool for gaining an intuitive feel for power system analysis. The developed simulator consists of the main module (MMI,GUI), the location marginal price module (LMP), the clustering module and network reduction module. Each module has a separate graphical and interactive interfacing window. The developed simulator needs with the PSS/E input data format, generator cost function, location information. Line admittances of reduced network was determined by using the power flow method(Newton-Raphson). So line flow of reduced network is almost same to original power system. Results of reduced network are compared on the window in the tabular format. Therefore, the developed simulator can be utilized as a useful tool for effective education and training for power system analysis.

Power system loads have a significant impact on a system. Although it is difficult to precisely describe loads in a mathematical model, accurately modeling them is important for a system analysis. The traditional load modeling method is based on the load components of a bus. Recently, the load modeling method based on measurements from a system has been introduced and developed by researchers. The two major components of a load modeling problem are determining the mathematical model for the target system and estimating the parameters of the determined model. We use the composite load model, which has both static and dynamic load characteristics. The ZIP model and the induction motor model are used for the static and dynamic load models, respectively. In this work, we propose the measurement-based parameter estimation method for the composite load model. The test system and related measurements are obtained using transient security assessment tool(TSAT) simulation program and PSS/E. The parameter estimation is then verified using these measurements. Cases are tested and verified using the sample system and its related measurements.
