Voltage circuit breakers are widely used in power distribution systems to interrupt fault current rapidly and to assure the reliability of the power supply. Power distribution system requires the transformer with higher capacity than ever, but this ever, but this may be the cause. of the increasing of short circuit current in contrast to conventional one when short-circuit accident is occurred. Therefore molded case circuit breaker improved in aspects of interrupting capacity of short circuit current in this system is needed. By using the proposed methods in this paper, such as new arc quenching structure of grid would contribute to minimizing the MCCB, realization of high interrupting performance and reducing the design time and development cost.

The applications of Distributed Generation (DG) in a smart distribution grid environment are widely employed especially for power balancing and supporting demand responses. Using these applications can have both positive and negative impacts on the distribution system. The sizing and location of their installations are the issues that should be taken into consideration to gain the maximum benefit from them when considering the economic aspects. This paper presents an application of the Bat Algorithm (BA) for the optimal sizing and siting of DG in a smart distribution power system in order to maximize the Benefit to Cost Ratio (BCR), subjected to system constraints including real and reactive power generation, line and transformer loading, voltage profile, energy losses, fault level as well as DG operating limits. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology and the impact of considering economic issues on DG placement, a simplify 9-bus radial distribution system of the Provincial Electricity Authority of Thailand (PEA) is selected for the computer simulation to explore the benefit of the optimal DG placement and the performance of the proposed approach.

Korea Ministry of Knowledge Economy has estimated that wind power (WP) will be occupied 37% in 2020 and 42% in 2030 of the new energy sources, and also green energies such as photovoltaic (PV) and WP are expected to be interconnected with the distribution system because of Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) starting from 2012. However, when a large scale wind power plant (over 3[MW]) is connected to the traditional distribution system, protective devices (mainly OCR and OCGR of re-closer) will be occurred mal-function problems due to changed fault currents it be caused by Wye-grounded/Delta winding of interconnection transformer and %impedance of WP's turbine. Therefore, when Double-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) of typical WP's Generator is connected into distribution system, this paper deals with analysis three-phase short, line to line short and a single line ground faults current by using the symmetrical components of fault analysis and PSCAD/EMTDC modeling.

Bubble behavior is studied with an electrode system which consists of coaxial spiral coil-to-cylindrical electrode with an insulation barrier and spacers and is immersed in liquid nitrogen for simulation of insulation environments in high temperature superconducting(HTS) coils The results show that the bubble behavior Is affected severely by electric field: (1) under low applied voltage bubbles rise by buoyancy, but at higher applied voltage they are trapped in a lower electric field region below the coil electrode, and (2) the trapped bubble flows along the downside of coil electrode if no obstruction is in a groove between coil turns. but it splashes out of the groove after its growing if the obstruction such as spacer-exists.

In the design of superconducting power equipments such as transformer, cable and fault current limit, knowledge of the dielectric behavior of both liquid and gaseous at very low temperatures is very importance. Especially, Electrical properties of liquid nitrogen($LN_{2}$) and gaseous nitrogen($GN_{2}$) have become of great interest again since the discovery of high temperature superconductors. However, many sources of $LN_{2}$and $GN_{2}$ problems in the test of pancake coil model arising form the deficiency of insulation data. Therefore, this paper describes the results of an experimental study on the ac breakdown voltage($V_{B}$) properties of $LN_2$ and Air under the electrode of simulated HTS pancake coil. The ac breakdown voltage of $GN_{2}$ have been measured by pancake coil-pancake coil gaps over the temperature range of 293 K to 77 K.

발전단지내 발전소와 변전소 접지망이 서로 연결되지 않고 독립적으로 구성된 경우 설비보호를 위한 보호회로가 큰 대지전위 차로 인해 손상되거나 보호설비가 오동작할 우려가 있다. 본 논문에서는 독립된 접지망간 연결된 보호회로에 대지전위 차로 인해 발생할 수 있는 문제를 분석하였으며 고장전류가 유입된 접지망 전위가 상승하면 CT(Current Transformer)회로가 이중접지 된 곳에서는 보호회로가 오동작할 수 있는 조건이 형성되고, 이중접지가 안되었다 할지라도 대지전위 상승이 회로를 통해 전달되어 회로와 외함간 절연파괴가 일어날 수 있으므로 보호회로 케이블이 발전소와 변전소간 연결된 곳에서는 반드시 접지망을 연결하여야 한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 계층적 SVM을 이용한 전력용 변압기의 고장진단 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 전처리 과정, 정상/고장판별 부, 고장원인판별부, 열화추이분석부로 구성된다. 제안한 고장진단과정을 보면, 전처리부에서는 DGA에 의해 얻어진 가스 데이터의 특징벡터를 산출한다. 그 다음단계로 정상/고장 판별부에서는 얻어진 특징벡터를 이용하여 SVM에 의해 정상/고장 여부를 진단한다. 고장원인 판별부에서는 진단하고자 하는 변압기가 고장으로 판정이 난 경우에 다중-클래스 SVM에 의해 고장원인을 판정한다. 또한 정상/고장판별에서 정상이라 판정할 지라도 열화추이분석부에서 FCM에 의해 구축된 고장모델과 정상데이터간의 거리척도를 이용하여 고장추이론 분서한다. 제안된 방법의 유용성을 보이기 위한 실험결과에서 기존의 방법들에 비해서 향상된 진단결과를 보임을 확인하였다.

This paper describes a current differential relaying algorithm for power transformers with an advanced compensation algorithm for the secondary current of CTs. The comparative study was conducted with and without the compensating algorithm. The algorithm can reduce the operating time of the relay in the case of an internal fault and improve security for external faults. The performance of the proposed algorithm was investigated when the C100 CT, a quarter of the rated CT(C400), is used.

Bi-2223/Ag HTS tapes fabricated by PIT process are used to make the power transmission cable, motor, fault current limiter, transformer etc. But some problems are still remained as like bubbling, sausaging to got the high Jc. In this study. we carried out the experiment to prevent bubbling in the HTS tape. The bubbling mainly occurred when HTS tape was heat-treating. Therefore, additional vacuum annealing at 400 ~ $600^{\circ}C$and slowly ramp-up sintering method were used to decrease the bubbling. slowly ramp-up sintering was more effective to decrease the bubbling than the vacuum annealing, but Jc was also decreased after heat treatment. Optimum ramp-up sintering schedule was searched to get the high critical current and prevent bubbling at same time.

In order to use HTS tape on electric power applications, such as cable, motor, transformer, fault current limiter, a long length of HTS tape with a good uniformity of critical current is inevitable. The longer length of HTS tape, the wider in the range of application and the lower cost of HTS tape. In this study three long length Bi-2223/Ag tapes(268m, 253m and 187m) were fabricated. Critical current uniformity along the length was greatly improved through the optimization of cold deformation and thermo-mechanical process. Average critical current of the tapes was 63.2 A, 54.6 A and 64.2 A, respectively Critical tensile strength and critical bending radius (77 K, 5 % Ic degradation) was 135 MPa and 56 m, respectively.
