  • Lightning has been identified as one of the leading causes of outages on transmission and distribution systems. As sensitive loads and reliance on electric power increase year by year, it is getting more focus on stable and high quality of power supply. To protect the transmission and distribution line from lightning, the transmission lightning arrester can be the effective facility on the power system. This paper discusses Gapped type Arresters application results by analysing effects of lightning arresters on transmission and distribution line.

  • This paper proposes optimal maintenance strategies for power distribution systems that involve the use of the reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) method. We developed an improved decision model based on the Markov process. This model can obtain the optimal inspection interval and maintenance method based on the total expected cost. We used ordinal optimization for solving the optimal problem. Optimal maintenance strategies were presented by applying the developed method to the RBTS model. A B/C analysis proved that these strategies offer maximum benefit-to-cost.

  • The existing distribution networks are growing with an increase of power demand more and more. Therefore, for efficient operation of distribution networks, operators are much in need of distributed generation. This paper describes a development of the digital protection relay(HIMAP) for protecting distributed generation which is expected to play an increasing role in electric power systems in the near future. This paper particularly introduces frequency protective algorithm and reverse power protective algorithm among the relaying algorithms for protecting distributed generation in distribution networks and resents capability of a developed digital protection relay including these algorithms.

  • 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.
