Wide use of non-linear loads such as personal computers, monitors, laser printers, variable speed drives, UPS systems and other electronic equipment have led to harmonics becoming #1 issue in the electrical industry today. Commercial and Industrial building power distribution systems, designed for the old, linear-style loads especially when found in high densities. Some common power system problems include overloaded neutral conductors, overheated distribution transfOlmers, high neutral-to-ground voltage, poor power factor and distortion of the voltage waveform supplying these loads. The power quality problems, particularly high voltage distortion, have been known to cause equipment downtime due to malfunctions and component failure.

In recent years, better quality in power electric services is being required with the development of information industries and the improvement of living standards. Also, the small scaled dispersed storage and generation (DSG) systems are being interconnected with the distribution systems and customers by the influence of the recent issues such as deregulation and global environmental problems in power system. Under these circumstances, it is very important to maintain the customer voltages within allowable limits for the distribution system which is located at the most sensitive part in the power system. To overcome these problems, this paper shows the basic concepts of FRIENDS which is considered as one of the power delivery system in the near future and also presents an evaluation method on the impacts of customer voltages by operation models of FRIENDS. The FRIENDS can change the system configuration in a flexible manner by using the static switches and offer the different power qualities in power services through the power quality control centers which play the most important role in FRIENDS. Numerical examples are shown in order to indicate the efficiency of the proposed method.

Recently, the needs and concerns for the power loss are increasing according to the energy conservation at the level of the national policies and power utilities's business strategies. Especially, the issue of the power loss is the main factor for the determining the electric pricing rates in the circumstances of the deregulation of electrical industry. However, because of the lacking of management for power loss load factors (LLF) it is difficult to make a calculation for the power loss and to make a decision for the electric rates. And loss factor (k-factor) in korea, which is a most important factor for calculation of the distribution power loss, has been used as a fixed value of 0.32 since the fiscal year 1973, There(ore, this study presents the statistical calculation methods of the loss factors classified by load types and seasons by using the practical data of 65 primary feeders which are selected by proper procedures. Based on the above the algorithms and methods, the optimal method of the distribution loss management classified by facilities such as primary feeders, distribution transformers and secondary feeders is presented. The simulation results show the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed methods.

Since IT technology was combined with the power system, many systems and applications have been developed and also Integration between systems has been followed in order to meet much higher level. Futher more to reduce the cost of system integration there were needs standardized data model and interfaces among systems or applications. so IEC has reached to establish standard interfaces and data model. Most of the current distribution automation system in South Korea, each operating independently in an enclosed environment, are managed. As time goes by, however, because of resons that the system is increasingly complex by implenting new kind of power source and demand for electricity is rapidly increasing, it became difficult to predict with a independent data from one system. In this paper, In order to apply common infomation model and standard interfaces which are defined in IEC 61970/61968 to the exisiting distribution automation system in KEPCO, several software tools and applications which have been created will be introduced.

This paper proposes a novel UPQC(unified power quality conditioner) based on H-bridge modules, isolated through single-phase multi-winding transformers. The dynamic performance of proposed system was analyzed by simulation with PSCAD/EMTDC, assuming that the UPQC is connected with the 22.9kV distribution line. The proposed system can be directly connected to the transmission line without series injection transformers. It has flexibility in expanding the operation voltage by increasing the number of H-bridge modules and can compensate reactive power, harmonics, voltage sag and swell, voltage unbalance. The proposing UPQC has the ultimate capability of improving power quality at the point of installation on power distribution systems.

Protection of gas turbine blade from its erosion and abrasion at high temperature and pressure is the first goal to cleanup the hot gas upstream for IGCC and PFBC. Ceramic filters represent an attractive technology for particle removal at high temperature and high pressure condition. They have demonstrated being a good system for improvement of thermal efficiency and reduction of effluent pollutants in advanced coal-based power systems such as IGCC and PFBC. Ceramic filter elements currently being developed were evaluated in the previous paper. In this paper, we measured the ash size and distribution on cleaning of ceramic candle filter. The results are as follows : in this experimental range, ceramic candle filter was shown to be fully adequate for the removal process of dust under high temperature and pressure. Also filtration efficiency of ceramic candle filter was higher than 98% compared with the regulation limit of particle size in gas turbine inlet.

Power-line communication technology is proposed to identify power transformers to serve customers in 3 phase -4 wires power distribution systems. Mathematical models for 3-phase power transformers, 3-phase wire lines, and customer loads are described to investigate the transmission characteristics of high frequency power line carrier. From the analysis, distribution line cable circuits have only a limited ability to carry higher frequencies. Typically power transformers in the distribution system prevent propagating the higher frequency carrier signal. The proposed method uses the limited propagation ability to identify the power transformer to serve customers. A novel power transformer identification system is designed and implemented. The system consists of a transmitter and a receiver with power-line communication module. Some experiments are conducted to verify the theoretical concepts in a big commercial building. Also some simulations are done to help and understand the concepts by using MATLAB Simulink simulator.

The fault analysis problem of a distribution network has many difficulties comes from the unbalance of loads or networks and the lacks of load information. The unbalance of loads or networks make the fault location difficult when it use the classical sequence transformation. Moreover the amount of load in the distribution networks fluctuates with time. This paper introduces a recent fault location algorithm using iterative method which handle the unbalance of the problem. But, the fault location errors comes from the load fluctuations still left. For the real application of the new fault location algorithm in distribution networks, this paper studied the effect of the load fluctuations in the algorithm.

The DC distribution system iis a new promising topologies in a field of future smart distribution system. This system has high efficiency and reliability. So it is expected that there would be an increase in the installation of DC distribution systems. In this paper, the parameter of the DC/DC converter impact on customer's the power quailty in the DC distribution system when the fault occurred. For the analysis, DC network to be modeled using PSCAD/EMTDC. The fault is occurred at phase A in secondary side of MTR which is AC system. Then compared voltage and power at the customer side by varying the capacity of capcitor in the DC/DC converter.
