This paper presents an application of a newly designed Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (AGA) to solve the Optimal Feeder Routing (OFR) problem for distribution system planning. The main objective of the OFR problem usually is to minimize the total cost that is the sum of investment costs and system operation costs. We propose a properly designed AGA, in this paper, which can handle the horizon-year expansion planning problem of power distribution network in which the location of substation candidates, the location and amount of forecasted demands are given. In the proposed AGA, we applied adaptive operators using specially designed adaptive probabilities. we also a Simplified Load Flow (SLF) technique for radial networks to improve a searching efficiency of AGA. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated with the practical 32, 69 bus test system to show favorable performance. It is also shown that the proposed method for the OFR can also be used for the network reconfiguration problem in distribution system.

Under the influence of nuclear radiation, the reliability of steam generators (SGs) is an important factor in the efficiency and safety of nuclear power plant (NPP) reactors. Motion planning that remotely manipulates an SG mobile tube-inspection robot to inspect SG heat transfer tubes is the mainstream trend of NPP robot development. To achieve motion planning, conditional traversal is usually used for base position optimization, and then the A^* algorithm is used for path planning. However, the proposed approach requires considerable processing time and has a single expansion during path planning and plan paths with many turns, which decreases the working speed of the robot. Therefore, to reduce the calculation time and improve the efficiency of motion planning, modifications such as the matrix method, improved parent node, turning cost, and improved expanded node were proposed in this study. We also present a comprehensive evaluation index to evaluate the performance of the improved algorithm. We validated the efficiency of the proposed method by planning on a tube sheet with square-type tube arrays and experimenting with Model SG.

For many capacity expansion problems, distinct capacity types must be specified to identify capacity at different locations or capacities with different costs and operating characteristics. In this study, a project-sequencing model is developed that allows operating costs to influence the timing decisions for project establishment. Under certain conditions, the power expansion formulation is derived that may be solved through the dynamic programming approach, and its first application to planning in electric power systems is selected to investigate an optimal policy and to show the impact of requiring system to service more than one type of demand. Several sample testing results indicate that in some systems the efficiency of the large nuclear plants is higher than that of smell ones that it may overcome the effects of the drop in reliability.

Electric business all over the world is dramatically changed from vertically integrated monopoly to competition systems. Also, independent power producers(IPPs) will start their commercial operation from the year 2001 in Korea. In this regard, determination of the transaction cost between IPPs and electric utilities will be a hot issue, and electric utilities requires a new framework to support their decision-making. This paper presents the concept of the avoided cost which can be used for economic studies. This paper also describes a novel algorithm to evaluate the avoided cost of a IPP. The case studies are performed on the basis of the official generation expansion plan of Korea by using the Wien Automatic System Planning Package(WASP).

울산인근을 중심으로 한 영남 남동부 지역은 대규모 부유식 해상풍력이 계획되어 있으며 원자력발전소의 신설과 기존 원자력발전소의 수명연장 등에 따라 전력망의 확충이 요구되고 있다. 정부에서는 10차 전력수급계획에 따라 이 지역의 전력계통 신설계획을 발표하였으나 경주 인근의 국립공원과 문화재 보호구역을 경과함에 따라 실제 건설단계에 어려움이 많을 것으로 예상된다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 기존 선로를 활용하고 신설을 최소화하는 방안을 제시하고 이 계통에 대해 PSS/E를 활용하여 과도안정도를 분석하여 타당성을 입증하였다.

이 논문은 캄보디아 전력산업의 현황과 캄보디아 정부를 대상으로 진행하고 있는 장기전원개발계획 수립 자문용역의 주요 결과를 소개한다. 현재 캄보디아는 수도인 Phnom Penh 지역에만 일부 계통망이 구축되어 있을 뿐 전국적인 계통망이 구축되어 있지 않아 매우 제한적인 전력사용이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, 향후 2012년까지 전국 주요 지역을 연결하는 송전계통망의 구축이 완료되고, 인근국가인 태국, 베트남, 라오스와의 계통망 연계, 대용량 수력발전설비의 건설이 완료되면 규모의 경제가 확보되어 전력 사용에 대한 환경이 크게 개선될 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 전원개발계획을 위하여 WASP전산모형을 사용하여 구한 결과를 제시한다. 캄보디아 계통망에 연결된 전체 설비용량은 '05년말 220MW에서 '24년 2,090MW로 연평균 15%씩 증가할 것으로 예상된다.

The reliability and probabilistic generation production cost evaluation of composite power systems are important for power system operation and expansion planning. This paper present a computer program which can evaluate the reliability and probabilistic generation production cost of composite power system using GUI(Graphic User Interface). In this computer program, Monte Carlo simulation methods and CMELDC(CoMposite power system Effective Load Duration Curve) were used.

This paper proposes a new effective installed reserve rate in order to evaluate reliability of power system considering renewable generators, which include uncertainty of resource supply. It is called EIRR(effective installed reserve rate) in this paper. It is developed with considering capacity credit based on ELCC by using LOLE reliability criterion. While the conventional installed reserve rate index yields over-evaluation reliability of renewable generators, the proposed EIRR describes actual effective installed reserve rate. However, it is not the probabilistic reliability index as like as LOLE or EENS but another deterministic effective reliability index. The proposed EIRR is able to evaluate the realistic contribution to the reliability level for power system considering wind turbine generators and solar cell generators with high uncertainty in resource supply. The case study in model system as like as Jeju power system size presents a possibility that the proposed EIRR can be used practically as a new deterministic reliability index for generation expansion planning or operational planning in future.

수요자원의 전력시장 참여가 확대됨에 따른 발전자원의 설비 건설비용 및 운영비용 감소 유도를 위해 발전자원과 수요자원을 동등한 형태로 전원계획에 참여 가능하다. 즉, 지역 별 수요자원의 특성을 고려하여 발전자원과 수요자원을 통합한 전원계획 수립을 할 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 지역 별 수요자원 산정 후, 발전자원과 수요자원을 동등하게 고려한 전원계획문제를 정식화 한다.
