Fuel cell (FC) is a promising power supply in electric vehicles (EV); however, it has poor dynamic performance and short service life. To address these shortcomings, a super capacitor (SC) is adopted as an auxiliary power supply. In this study, the frequency decoupling control method is used in electric vehicle energy system. High-frequency and low-frequency demand power is provided by SC and FC, respectively, which makes full use of two power supplies. Simultaneously, the energy system still has rapidity and reliability. The distributed power system (DPS) of EV requires DC-DC converters to achieve the desired voltage. The stability of cascaded converters must be assessed. Impedance-based methods are effective in the stability analysis of DPS. In this study, closed-loop impedances of interleaved half-bridge DC-DC converter and phase-shifted full-bridge DC-DC converter based on the frequency decoupling control method are derived. The closed-loop impedance of an inverter for permanent magnet synchronous motor based on space vector modulation control method is also derived. An improved Middlebrook criterion is used to assess and adjust the stability of the energy system. A theoretical analysis and simulation test are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the energy management system and the control method.

The ultrafashionable machinery that require high quality electricity power has been daily come into being. Because domestic power system has been larger and more complicated in accordance with raising power demand by power market requirement. Because of these power market situations, The FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) which is power transmission system for the next generation to meet flexible supply the power and reliability has been applied. If they, compensators and FACTS, are used inter-efficiently in range that does not affect the stability and a badly influence the security, they might be increase in the voltage stability of system, supply reliability and also achieve the voltage control in a suddenly changed power system. Therefore we describe and suggest on this treatise that a plan for coordination control between UPFC, Shunt elements (Sh. Capacitors & Sh. Reactors) among compensators and also describe the method to keep or control the voltage of power system in allowable ranges. The method follows that, we used characteristics of each equipment, UPFC would be also settled to keep the identified voltage range in change of load bus, Shunt elements also would be settled to supply the reactive power shortage in out of operating range of UPFC to cope actively with change of the power system. As the result of simulation, it is possible to keep the load bus voltage in limited range in spite of broad load range condition. This helps greatly for the improvements of supply reliability and voltage stability.

The neutral beam injection generate ultra-high temperature energy in the tokamak of nuclear fusion. The neutral beam injection make up arc power supply, filament power supply and acceleration & deceleration power supply. The arc power supply has characteristics of low voltage and high current. Arc power supply generate arc through constant output of voltage and current. So this paper proposed suitable buck converter for low voltage and high current. The proposed buck converter used parallel switch because it can be increased capacity and decrease conduction loss. When an arc generated, the neutral beam injection chamber occur high voltage. And it will break output capacitor of buck converter. Therefore the output capacitor was removed in the proposed converter. Thus the proposed converter should be designed for the characteristics of low voltage and high current. Also, the arc power supply should be guaranteed for system stability. The proposed parallel buck converter enables the system stability of the divided low output voltage and high current. The proposed converter with constant output be the most important design of the output inductor. In this paper, designed arc power supply verified operation of system and stability through simulation and prototype. After it is applied to the 288[kW] arc power supply for neutral beam injection.

This study suggests a dynamic braking control algorithm in order to improve the transient stability of a multimachine power system. Dynamic braking control has been known as an effective method by which transient stability of power systems could be improved. Under the context, the study suggests a modified MRVM which possibly handles more rapid on-line computation through the improvement of the conventional MRVM(Model Referenced Velocity Matching). In order to resolve the phenomenon of stability recovery hinderance due to the prolonged dynamic braking control under the stable equilibrium state and chattering problem, the study also composes an algorithm in such a way that dynamic braking control could be prohibited by setting-up absolute stability region, Lastly, a comparison with the results derived from the application of the conventional control technique to the model power system is made in order to prove the superiority of the suggested control technique.

Probabilistic assessment of voltage stability margin (VSM) with existence of correlated wind speeds is investigated. Nataf transformation is adopted to establish wind speed correlation (WSC) model. Based on the saddle-node bifurcation transversality condition equations and Monte Carlo simulation technique, probability distribution of VSM is determined. With correlation coefficients range low to high value, the effect of WSC on VSM is studied. In addition, two risk indexes are proposed and the possible threat caused by WSC is evaluated from the viewpoint of risk analysis. Experimental results show that the presence of correlated wind speeds is harmful to safe and stable operation of a power system as far as voltage stability is concerned. The achievement of this paper gives a detailed elaboration about the influence of WSC on voltage stability and provides a potentially effective analytical tool for modern power system with large-scale wind power sources integration.

Since the power swing depends on the operating time of the relay, the swing's magnitude can be reduced by an autoreclosure relaying system with an optimal reclosing algorithm. This paper proposes a method for stability improvement using optimal reclosure relaying. An optimal reclosure algorithm is applied to identify both temporary and permanent faults, and to predict system stability by applying WAM and high speed communication technology. It provides optimal control by predicting and determining the degree of stability, considering the real time transient stability using EEEAC. For temporary faults, the algorithm determines the system's stability and either recloses optimally for stable systems, or inserts series capacitance before optimal reclosure for unstable systems. It also applies an optimal reclosure algorithm to minimize shock and damage to the power system when reclosure fails due to permanent faults.

고도의 산업화에 따른 물류량의 증가와 인구 도시집중 현상은 교통난을 더욱 더 심화시키고 있으며 수송효율성 향상 대책으로서 전기철도가 새롭게 부각되고 있다. 특히 전기철도는 수송력이 월등히 높고 안전성 및 신속성과 친환경적인 요소로 인해 세계 각국에서 미래 교통문제 해결의 최선의 대안으로 제시되고 있다. 우리나라 역시 경부고속전철사업이 추진중이며, 300［km/h］급의 서비스가 개시될 예정이다. 일반적으로 송.배전 계통은 3상 평형부하인 반면에 전기철도 부하는 단상 대용량 집중부하로서 이동과 정지가 빈번하고 부하변동이 극심한 전기적 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에, 우리나라 154［㎸］계통은 단락용량이 큼에도 불구하고 시스템의 안정도 평가는 필요하다 하겠다. 본 논문에서는 수식적으로 유도된 안정도 지수를 통한 시스템 안정도를 평가하고 시스템 안정도와 전력손실의 관계를 제시하였다. 또한 사례연구에서는 PSS/E를 활용하여 병렬 무효전력보상기기를 우리나라 154［㎸］계통에 적용하여 손실 감소를 통한 시스템 안정도 향상을 입증하였다.

This paper addresses improving the voltage stability limit of interface flow between two different regions in an electric power system using the Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). The paper presents a power flow analysis model of a SSSC, which is obtained from the injection model of a series voltage source inverter by adding the condition that the SSSC injection voltage is in quadrature with the current of the SSSC-installed transmission line. This model is implemented into the modified continuation power flow (MCPF) to investigate the effect of SSSCs on the interface flow. A methodology for determining the interface flow margin is simply briefed. As a case study, a 771-bus actual system is used to verify that SSSCs enhance the voltage stability limit of interface flow.

Installation of FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission System) device can maximize utilization of existing power facilities and reliability of power system. STATCOM has excellent characteristics in operating cost, maintaining facilities, loss and so on. However, STATCOM has a disadvantage of facility cost over capacity. So it is effective to coordinate STATCOM and existing external bank(capacitor and reactor) and OLTC(On Load Tap Changer). This paper mainly proposes coordinative control method between STATCOM installed within substation and other reactive power resources including Shunt Reactors and Shunt Capacitors and OLTC for voltage stability improvement. The proposed coordinative control method is developed for the STATCOM of Mi-gum substation and the simulation results of EMTP/RV model show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, the RCF method is applied to analyze small signal stability of power systems including GTO controlled parallel FACTS equipments such as STATCOM. To apply the RCF method in power system small signal stability problems, state transition equations of generator, controllers and STATCOM are presented. In eigenvalue analysis of power systems, STATCOM is modelled as the equivalents voltage source model and the PWM switching circuit model. As a result of simulation, the RCF method is very powerful to calculate the oscillation modes exactly after the switching operations, and useful to analyze the small signal stability of power systems with periodically operated switching devices such as STATCOM.
