현재의 배전계통의 전압은 변전소에서 단방향 조류를 고려하여 LCD에 의한 전압조정방법으로 ULTC 변압기의 탭을 변환하여 공급전압을 적정범위 내에서 유지되도록 운전하고 있다. 그러나 현재의 배전계통 운용은 소용량에서 대규모 용량에 이르기까지 다양한 용량의 PV 시스템이 배전계통에 연계되어 운전되는 것을 반영하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 때문에 다수의 PV 시스템이 계통에 연계되어 양방향 조류가 발생하고 이로 인해 연계점의 전압변동이 발생하여도 이를 효과적으로 조정하지 못하여 계통의 전압이 적정범위 내에서 운용되지 못하는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다수 PV 시스템의 연계에 따른 양방향 조류의 발생을 고려하고 연계점의 전압변동에 따른 계통의 전압을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있도록 실시간 감시가 이루어지는 PV 시스템의 특징을 이용하고 기존의 LDC 전압조정방법을 개선하여 PV 시스템 연계 시에도 변전소에서 계통의 전압을 적정범위 내에서 조정할 수 있는 개선된 전압조정방법을 제안하였다.

This paper presents a application of new algorithm for feeder reconfiguration problem in distribution systems. Harmony Search (HS) algorithm, which is motivated from the musical performance, is used to reconfigure distribution systems so that active power losses are globally minimized with turning on/off the sectionalizing and the tie-line switches. In optimization processing, the HS algorithm has searching ability for the global optimal solution, simple coding of the iteration procedure, and fast convergence to get the solution. The HS algorithm is tested on 15 buses and 69 buses distribution systems, and the results prove its effectiveness to determine appropriate switching options without the occurrence of any misdetermination in switching and get the minimum power loss.

With the development of industry and the improvement of living standards, better quality in power electric service is required more than ever before. This paper deals with the optimal algorithms for voltage regulation in the case where Distributed Storage and Generation (DSG) systems are operated in distribution systems. It is very difficult to handle the interconnection issues for proper voltage managements, because the randomness of the load variations and the irregular operation of DSG should be considered. This paper proposes the optimal on-line real time voltage regulation methods in power distribution systems interconnected with the DSG systems. In order to deliver suitable voltage to as many customers as possible, the optimal sending voltage should be decided by the effective voltage regulation method by using artificial neural networks to consider the rapid load variation and random operation characteristics of DSG systems. The simulation results from a case study show that the proposed method can be a practical tool for the voltage regulation in distribution systems including many DSG systems.

The probabilistic nature of renewable energy, especially wind energy, increases the needs for new forms of planning and operating with electrical power. This paper presents a novel approach for determining the short-term generation schedule for optimal operations of wind energy-integrated power systems. The proposed probabilistic security-constrained optimal power flow (P-SCOPF) considers dispatch, network, and security constraints in pre- and post-contingency states. The method considers two sources of uncertainty: power demand and wind speed. The power demand is assumed to follow a normal distribution, while the correlated wind speed is modeled by the Weibull distribution. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to choose input variables of power demand and wind speed from their probability distribution functions. Then, P-SCOPF can be applied to the input variables. This approach was tested on a modified IEEE 30-bus system with two wind farms. The results show that the proposed approach provides information on power system economics, security, and environmental parameters to enable better decision-making by system operators.

In this paper, a configurable DC distributiong system is being proposed considering national power systems conditions and a comparative analysis of the transient response of the contingencies is performed with the conventional AC systems. DC systems are evaluated as a promising next-generation distribution system that provides reliable operation through high efficiency of energy use and converter control. This paper discusses about the required elements for the national DC distribution system and has analysed the fault characteristics of the AC and DC distribution systems using PSCAD/EMTDC. According to the simulation results, the DC system has improved response, due to the DC/DC converter's charging/discharging characteristics, in terms of voltage and power system characteristics when compared to AC systems.

This paper presents the operation of Fuel Cell Distributed Generation(FCDG) systems in distribution systems. Hence, modeling, controller design, and simulation study of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell(SOFC) distributed generation(DG) system are investigated. The physical model of the fuel cell stack and dynamic models of power conditioning units are described. Then, suitable control architecture based on fuzzy logic and the neural network for the overall system is presented in order to activate power control and power quality improvement. A MATLAB/Simulink simulation model is developed for the SOFC DG system by combining the individual component models and the controllers designed for the power conditioning units. Simulation results are given to show the overall system performance including active power control and voltage regulation capability of the distribution system.

기존의 배전계통은 전원 측인 배전용변전소에서 부하 측인 수용가로 전력을 단 방향으로 공급하는 것이 일반적이지만, 태양광과 풍력 등과 같은 분산전원이 배전계통에 연계되는 경우에는 분산전원에서 발생하는 전력이 계통으로 공급되는 역 조류가 발생하여 기존의 시스템과 달리 양방향으로 전력이 공급되게 된다. 이러한 양방향 전력공급은 기존의 시스템에 악 영향을 끼칠 수 있는데, 배전선로에 설치되어 있는 보호협조기기에 심각한 문제점을 발생시킬 수 있다. 특히 기존의 구간 개폐기는 주 전원 측의 전력만 감지할 뿐, 분산전원 측의 역 조류 감지 및 보호를 하지 못해 오동작을 일으킬 가능성이 존재한다. 이러한 경우 분산전원의 단독 운전뿐만 아니라 배전계통과 분산전원의 비동기 투입에 의하여 배전계통에 악영향을 끼칠 수도 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이에 대한 대책으로서 역 조류를 감지하는 구간 개폐기의 양방향 동작 알고리즘을 제시하고, 이에 대한 성능을 확인하기 위하여, 배전계통의 대표적인 해석 S/W인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 또한 보호기기 모의시험 장치를 제작하여 하드웨어적인 시험 결과를 분석하여, 본 논문에서 제안한 구간개폐기의 양방향 동작 알고리즘에 대한 효용성과 타당성을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose new unified methodologies of reliability and its cost evaluation in power distribution systems. The unified method means that the proposed reliability approaches consider both conventional evaluation factor, i.e. sustained interruptions and additional ones, i.e. momentary interruptions and voltage sags. Because the three voltage quality phenomena generally originate from the outages on distribution systems, the basic and additional reliability indices are summarized considering the fault clearing mechanism. The proposed unified method is divided into the reliability evaluation for calculating the reliability indices and reliability cost evaluation for assessing the damage of customer. The analytic and probabilistic methodologies are presented for each unified reliability and its cost evaluation. The time sequential Monte Carlo technique is used for the probabilistic method. The proposed DVL(Demand Varying Load) model is added to the reliability cost evaluation substituting the average load model. The proposed methods are tested using the modified RBTS(Roy Billinton Test System) form and historical reliability data of KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Corporation) system. The daily load profile of the each customer type in domestic are gathered for the DVL model. Through the case studies, it is verified that the proposed methods can be effectively applied to the distribution systems for more detail reliability assessment than conventional approaches.
