The deregulation problem has recently attracted attentions in a competitive electric power market, where the cost must be earmarked fairly and precisely for the customers and the Independent Power Producers (IPPs) as well. Transmission loss is an one of several important factors that determines power transmission cost. Because the cost caused by transmission losses is about $3{\sim}5%$, it is important to allocate transmission losses into each bus in a power system. This paper presents the new algorithm to allocate transmission losses based on an integration method using the loss sensitivity. It provides the buswise incremental transmission losses through the calculation of load ratios considering the transaction strategy of an overall system. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by the case studies carried out on the WSCC 9-bus and IEEE 14-bus systems.

A problem exists in the conventional transportation cart applications, in which an external power supply with mechanical contact connection (bus bar connection) is required to drive the motor. Therefore, continuous effort for maintenance is required, aside from the expensive bus bar connector. To solve this problem, a self-electricity-generated transportation cart system without bus bar has recently been introduced. In this system, a battery needs to store the power of the generated wheel, and a boost converter, which converts the low battery voltage to high bus voltage to drive the motor inverter, is necessary. However, since the instantaneous large current required for starting the motor is supplied from the battery, a battery with large size and volume should be adopted to withstand this large current. In this study, a boost converter that can supply a large instantaneous current by using super Capacitor string is proposed. The proposed converter can be realized with a small size and volume compared with the conventional battery-fed boost converter. Operational principles, analysis, and design of the proposed converter are presented, and experimental results are provided to validate the proposed converter.

This paper proposes a method for optimal placement of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) considering system configuration and its attributes during the planning phase of PMU deployment. Each bus of the system is assessed on four diverse attributes; namely, redundancy of measurements, rotor angle and frequency monitoring of generator buses, reactive power deficiency, and maximum loading limit under transmission line outage contingency, and a consolidated 'degree of criticality' is determined using Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The major contribution of the proposed work is the development of modified objective function which incorporates values of the degree of criticality of buses. The problem is formulated as maximization of the aggregate degree of criticality of the system. The resultant PMU configuration extends complete observability of the system and majority of the PMUs are located on critical buses. As budgetary restrictions on utilities may not allow installation PMUs even at optimal locations in a single phase, multi-horizon deployment of PMUs is also addressed. The proposed approach is tested on IEEE 14-bus, IEEE 30-bus, New England (NE) 39-bus, IEEE 57-bus and IEEE 118-bus systems and compared with some existing methods.

In this paper, a thermal model is developed for the bus bar system to predict the temperature variation during the transient time period and to calculate both the steady-state and transient electrical current carrying capacity (ampacity) of bus bar. The bus bar system installed in the power house of Kumaraguru College of Technology, Coimbatore has been considered. Temperature variation predicted in the modelling is validated by observing the current and steady state temperatures in different feeders of the bus bar. Magnetic field of the extreme phases R and B induces more current in the middle phase Y. Hence, the steady state temperature in the phase Y is greater than other two phases. The transient capabilities of the bus bar are illustrated by calculating the variations in the bus bar temperature when it is subjected to a step change in current during the peak hours due to increase in hostel utilities and facilities (5.30 pm to 10.30 pm). The physical and geometrical properties of the bus bar and temperature variation in the bus bar are used to estimate the thermal time constants for common bus bar cross-sections. An analytical expression for the time constant of the bus bar is derived.

KOMPSAT series use software-controlled unregulated bus system in which the main bus is directly connected to a battery and the duty-ratio for PWM switch is controlled by the on-board satellite software. This paper proposes a new power-stage circuit that can be available for modularization of the power regulator which is used at the software-controlled unregulated bus system satellite. And we analyze the proposed power-stage operation according to its operating modes and verify it by performing software simulation and hardware experiment using prototype. We constructs a parallel-module converter which is composed of proposed power-stages and perform experiment to verify modular characteristics of the proposed power-stage. Finally, we verify the usefulness of the proposed power-stage by comparing above results with those of a parallel-module converter made of conventional power-stages.

A family of non-isolated DC-DC three-port converters (TPCs) that allows for a more flexible power flow among a renewable energy source, an energy storage device and a current-reversible DC bus is introduced. Most of the reported non-isolated topologies in this area consider only a power consuming load. However, for applications such as hybrid-electric vehicle braking systems and DC microgrids, the load power generating capability should also be considered. The proposed three-port family consists of one unidirectional port and two bi-directional ports. Hence, they are well-suited for photovoltaic (PV)-battery-DC bus systems from the power flow viewpoint. Three-port converters are derived by combining different commonly known power converters in an integrated manner while considering the voltage polarity, voltage levels among the ports and the overall voltage conversion ratio. The derived converter topologies are able to allow for seven different modes of operation among the sources and load. A three-port converter which integrates a boost converter with a buck converter is used as a design example. Extensions of these topologies by combining the soft-switching technique with the proposed design example are also presented. Experiment results are given to verify the proposed three-port converter family and its analysis.

본 논문에서는 기존의 Bus-Invert Coding 계통의 여러 알고리즘들이 관습적으로 사용하던 Invert-line 을 제거하고 버스선을 통하여 코딩정보를 전송하는 새로운 설계방법을 제시하였다. Flip-Driver라고 하는 새로운 형태의 버스드라이버와 선택회로를 사용한 이 방식은 Invert-line을 사용하지 않을 뿐 아니라 코딩정보 전송 시 발생하는 추가적인 버스의 전이를 효과적으로 억제한다. 이러한 회로설계방식의 변환만으로도 여러 BI 알고리즘의 효율이 Invert-line을 사용할 때와 비교하여 40%-100% 증대시킬 수 있음을 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 UPS 기능을 갖는 단상 태양광 발전 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안하는 시스템은 태양광 어레이 (photovoltaic array)에서 최대전력을 얻기 위해 MPPT (maximum power point tracking)를 수행하는 컨버터, 계통전원 상태나 태양광 발전량에 상관없이 부하에 정현파 전압을 공급하는 인버터, 태양광 어레이에서 발전된 잉여전력을 계통으로 전달하거나 부하에 필요한 전력을 dc bus로 공급하는 인버터, 정전시 dc bus에 전력을 공급하는 양방향 컨버터 (bidirectional converter)로 구성된다. 제안하는 시스템은 발전된 전력을 계통으로 전달할 뿐만 아니라, UPS (uninterruptible power supply)기능도 수행하는 시스템으로 계통전압이 불안정하거나 정전시에도 부하에 안정적이고 깨끗한 전압을 항상 공급할 수 있다. 각각의 인버터, 컨버터, 및 양방향 컨버터는 dc bus를 공유하며, dc bus의 전압에 따라 동작상태가 결정이 된다. dc bus중심의 제어는 dc bus전압을 안정적으로 유지시키며, 부하에 걸리는 전압의 변동을 최소로 하고 시스템의 디자인 및 제어를 단순화한다. 모든 알고리즘과 제어기를 하나의 마이크로 컨트롤러로 구현하였고 제안된 시스템의 우수성을 실험을 통해 검증하였다.
