As there expands the usage of Al-Cu connections to interface aluminum and copper in power distribution systems, efforts to mitigate the mechanical, electrical or electro-chemical degradation are widely spreading. The explosive bending technology, in particular, has been thought as a countermeasure for the degradation. In this paper, electrochemical analysis and optical microscopic observation are carried out in order to compare the corrosion resistivities of the commercial compression type bimetallic sleeve and the explosion type bimetallic sleeve. The results show that the explosive bonding technology can prevent the interfacial corrosion caused by the formation of crevices and pits as well as from galvanic potential difference.

This paper presents the scheme for reliability improvement by dispersed generation system (US) installation and operation in distribution systems. The objective functions such as power losses cost, operation cost of DGS, power buy cost and interruption cost are minimized for reliability improvement. The original objective functions and constraints are transformed into the equivalent multiple objective functions with fuzzy sets to evaluate their imprecise nature. The several indices for reliability evaluation are improved by dispersed generation system installation.

Intelligent distribution automation system have total monitoring and control capability. The system covers substation, distribution network, distributed generations and customers at HV system. Various intelligent distribution facilities installed at distribution systems have voltage sensor, current sensor, aging monitoring sensor. Intelligent Feeder Remote Terminal Unit (IFRTU) tied to intelligent distribution facilities process information from facilities and it checks information of fault, power quality and aging of distribution facilities. The information is transmitted to master station through communication line. The master station have remote monitoring system covers substation, distribution network, distributed generations and customers. It also have various application programs that maintain optimal network operation by using information from on-site devices.

This paper presents a method for feeder reconfiguration in order to operate distribution systems efficiently using heuristic rules. The reconfiguration method presented here not only eliminates various abnormal states but also achieves minimum power loss and optimum load balance of the distribution feeders under normal operating condition transfering loads from one feeder to anoter applying the experiences of the experts. To implement the method effectively, a best-first tree searching strategy based on heuristics is used to evaluate the various load transfer alternatives. The development of a rule-based system aimed at the reduction of the search space is presented as a means of implementing the best-first searching strategy. The results of the computer simulation of the above procedure are as follows; 1) achieving minimum power loss of the distribution feeder adopting the optimum load transfer alternative. 2) Enhencing system reliability and achieving load balance through rational allocation of the feeder loads.

With the increase of size and complicacy of power systems, distribution system need to operate effectively for high reliability. In order to achieve this purpose, the study which apply expert system to operating plan, restoration on fault and distribution system operating, has developing actively. The essential element of the study is system line state which make a system observe. The development of expert system on power system operation make a system be able to judge state of loading and looping system line, related current direction, substation, and distribution line, atomatically by breaker operation. Finally, this paper developed expert system which decides itself atomatically by rules for deciding system line state.

Since the oil crisis, we have been concerned about the energy saving techniques of electric generating systems. As a part of the effort to save energy, automatic electric load sharing device was developed. Usually, ship's electric generating system consists of two or three sets of generator. And, electric generating system is operated as single or parallel operation mode according to the demanded electric power. Therefore, it is important to investigate generators operating mode for the supply of required electric power in the ship in order to decrease the operating cost. So, this paper suggests the method to solve the optimal electric load distribution problem by dynamic programming. And, this thesis indicates that the proposed method is superior to the lagrange multiplier's method in obtaining optimal load distribution solution in the ship's electric generating system.

In this paper present Autonomous Adaptive Digital Over Current Relay for distribution networks which acts autonomous setting using the short circuit impedance measured by relay of power systems. Automation of relay setting is one of the basic requirements for distribution automation, although manual relay setting is used at present. The short circuit impedance from a power source in distribution networks essential for the Autonomous Relay Setting changes frequently in distribution networks. In this paper the short circuit impedance is calculated with voltage and current measured in real time operation of digital relay using the Recursive Least Squares. A new method of digital relay setting is introduced using the the short circuit impedance and load current.

According to the use of distribution automation systems, the function to find or to search a fault phase is necessary for automatic switches in a distribution substation. In this paper, two algorithms are developed to fine the fault circuit and the fault phase for the automatic switches in substation with ungrounded power system. One is the fault circuit searching method using the zero sequence voltage at the bus and zero sequence current of circuit current and the other is to find the fault phase using the line voltage and zero sequence current. The developed algorithms are tested in the case study simulations. An ungrounded power system is modeled by EMTP as a case study system. The developed algorithms are tested in the case study simulations and each shows correct results.

During the manufacture of FGM plates, defects such as porosities can appear. Those can change the entire behavior of these plates. This paper aims to investigate the free vibration characteristics of porous functionally graded (FG) plates resting on elastic foundations. The Young's modulus of the plate is assumed to vary continuously through the thickness according to a power-law formulation, and the Poisson ratio is held constant. Different types of porosity distribution rates are considered. To examine the accuracy of the present formulation, several comparison studies are investigated. Effects of variation of porosity distribution rate, foundation parameter, power-law index and thickness ratio on the fundamental frequency of plates have been investigated.
