  • Distribution management system or microgrid energy management system plays an important role in monitoring, operation and control of electrical distribution systems by utilizing IT infrastructure. Nowadays, the rapid increase of the distributed resources makes the conventional management system have some additional functionality for the reliable operation due to intermittent renewables and the efficient operation on the economical purpose. In this paper, the brief standard software functional requirements of microgrid energy management system are provided through survey of the recent commercial products of the major vendors, and furthermore the architectures of microgrid energy management system are provided in comparison with major suppliers' microgrid energy management system. The summary of investigation will be able to make the developers and researchers focus on the specific functionality in the real world.

  • 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.

  • Three-phase four-wire electrical distribution systems are widely employed in manufacturing plants, commercial and residential buildings Due to the nonlinear loads connected to the distribution system, the neutral conductor carries excessive harmonic currents even under balanced loading since the triplen harmonics in phase currents do not cancel each other This may result in wiring failure of the neutral conductor and overloading of the distribution transformer In response to these concerns, a cost-effective neutral current harmonic suppressor system has been proposed. This paper proposes an improved control method for the harmonic suppressor system under unbalanced load conditions The proposed control method compensates for only the harmonic components in the neutral conductor, and the zero-sequence fundamental component due to unbalanced loading is prevented from flowing through the harmonic suppressor system This remedies overloading and power loss of the system The experimental results on a prototype validate the proposed control approach.

  • Recently, There has been growing interest in Distributed Generations with high-energy efficiency due to the Increasing energy consumption and environmental pollution problems. but an insertion of Distributed Generations to existing power distribution system can cause several problems such as voltage variations, harmonics, protective coordination, increasing fault current etc, because of reverse power. This paper was applied to Sukumar M[l] proposal schemes and identity the faulted section performing short-circuit analysis by MATLAB program to distribution systems interconnected a large number of distributed generations.

  • Most existing DRM systems give too much power to rights holders and have not concerned the requirements of the consumers. In this paper, we propose a mechanism for license distribution that considers the distribution of rights between consumers. we describe the protection of digital content in two digital licenses, formal license and peer license. Also we propose an extending mechanism to control the distribution of rights between consumers. For this mechanism, we define it by extending the ODRL model in the end.

  • We propose in this paper a companding scheme or peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. By exploiting statistical distribution of OFDM transmit signals, the proposed scheme effectively reduces the PAPR by compressing the peak signals, while maintaining the average power unchanged. Simulation results are provided to show good performance of the proposed scheme.

  • This paper presents the test and operation results of the domestic demonstration of the reactive power compensation device called STATCOM (STATic COMpensator). The object of the paper is to describe the reliability of the unit based on the extensive operation databases. The custom power is similar in nature to the concept of FACTS(Flexibel AC Transmission System). By controlling reactive power, the technology offers utilities the opportunity for increased efficiency and their capabilities will permit transmission planners make the best use of their existing transmission resources. STATCOM is a custom power device in a way and can be used in a similar way for the dynamic compensation of power transmission systems, providing reactive power compensation, voltage regulation and mitigation of voltage flicker. It is shown that the STATCOM has clear advantages in areas such as; providing reactive power compensation and improving power factor.

  • This paper proposes the methods to construct the tree-structured database and analyze the distribution system network. In order to cope with an extensive amount of data and the frequent breaker switching operations in distribution systems, the database for system configuration is constructed using binary trees. Once the tree-structured database has been built, the system tracing of distribution network can be rapidly performed. This remarkably enhances the efficiency of data search and easily adapts to system changes due to switching operations. The computation method of fast power flow using tree search strategies is presented. The methods in the paper may be available in the field of distribution system operation.
