Interconnection of new energy sources, such as photovoltaic generation, wind power generation, etc., into the electric power distribution system may result in the increasing short-circuit capacity when a short circuit fault occurs. The short-circuit capacity becomes over the interrupting ratings of circuit breakers, and then they fails to operate in the proper way they prevent fault currents from flowing into the distribution facilities and thus causing them serious damages. This study deals with impacts on the respective short-circuit capacity of both low voltage and extra high voltage distribution systems at which new energy sources are installed. In order to obtain more accurate and all-case values very close to reality in the complicated distribution system, computer simulation tools should be required. In this paper, however, its focus is placed on examining the varying trend of short-circuit capacity, which may happen owing to new energy source interconnection, as a previewing step for exhaustive simulation studies.

This paper analyzes robotic technology developed for live-line electricity distribution and its applicability to domestic environment. In doing so, available robotic systems developed for the live-line work are thoroughly investigated and compared in terms of from robotic functionality to economic feasibility. To assess the technology readiness for domestic live-line robot, the rubber gloves based direct live-line engineering methods have been also analyzed and mapped into robotic technology requisites. The results are expected as a fundamental data to help with solving the safety and economics issues when considering development and introduction of compact live-line robot for complex domestic electricity distribution environment.

The main purpose of the distribution automation system (DAS) is to achieve efficient operation of primary distribution systems by monitoring and control of the feeder remote terminal unit(FRTU) deployed on the distribution feeders. DAS simulators are introduced to verify the functions of the application software installed in the central control unit(CCU) of the DAS. Because each DAS is developed on the basis of its own specific data model, the power system data cannot be easily transferred from the DAS to the simulator or vice versa. This paper presents a common information model(CIM)-based DAS simulator to achieve interoperability between the simulator and the DASs developed by different vendors. The CIM-based data model conversion between Smart DMS (SDMS) and Total DAS (TDAS) has been performed to establish feasibility of the proposed scheme.

With the evolution of technology, cyber physical systems (CPSs) are being upgraded, and new types of cyber attacks are being discovered accordingly. There are many forms of cyber attack, and all cyber attacks are made to manipulate the target systems. A representative system among cyber physical systems is a cyber physical power system (CPPS), that is, a smart grid. Smart grid is a new type of power system that provides reliable, safe, and efficient energy transmission and distribution. In this paper, specific types of cyber attacks well known as false data injection attacks targeting state estimation and energy distribution of smart grid, and protection strategies for defense of these attacks and dynamic monitoring for detection are described.

Recently, it is increasing the concern of distributed generations(DGs) that installed small power at a site near by the customer. In deregulation environment, not only distributed generation operation but also state estimation is the key function in distribution systems. This paper process to calculate the impact of distributed generation on a distribution feeder. WLAV state estimation is performed the distribution systems with DGs and bad data test including single, multiple, interacting. Simulations with test cases are performed and the results are presented, using IEEE 34 bus radial distribution systems

This paper presents a method of finding the optimal operating point minimizing a given objective function with 3 phase power flow equations and operational constraints, called 3 phase optimal power flow. 3 phase optimal power flow can provide operation and control strategies for the distribution systems with distributed generation assets, which might be frequently in unbalanced conditions assuming that high penetration rate of renewable energy sources in the systems. As the solution technique, this paper adopts a standard particle swarm optimization (PSO).

So far, because the photovoltaics power generation system can be treated to a harmonics source for the power distribution systems, the PV system combined the function of AF systems as well as the AF systems using the PV module as the power source have never been reported. However, authors have recently proposed a novel concept of the photovoltaics power generation system adding the function of the active filter (PV-AF system). In this paper, in order to confirm the operational characteristics of the PV-AF system, various MPPT controls are applied and analyzed.

In this paper, a parallel operation algorithm for high power PEMFC generation systems is proposed. According to increasing the capacity of fuel cell systems with several fuel cell stacks, the different dynamic characteristics of each fuel cell stack effect on imbalance of load sharing and current distribution, so that a robust parallel operation algorithm is desired. Therefore, a power-sharing technique is developed and explained in order to design an optimal distributed PEMFC generation system. In addition, an optimal controller design procedure for the proposed parallel operation algorithm is introduced, along with informative simulations and experimental results.

This paper presents a new approach for power flow calculation, which minimizes the transmission losses in power systems with the control of voltage magnitudes on P-V nodes. In this approach, the transmission losses are re-distributed to each P-V node, at each iteration, to reduce the effect of slack. The steepest descent method is adopted, in this study, to minimize the transmission losses augmented with penalty functions to account for voltage constraints. IEEE 14 and 30 buses test systems were used for the performance demonstration of the proposed method in this paper. The simulation results showed that the proposed method can reduce transmission losses and improve voltage profiles of power systems.
