This paper presents a new loss allocation scheme using power contribution method Power contribution is to find how much power at each generating/1oad bus is contributed to individual load/generating bus. In this paper power contribution is calculated using fundamental circuit theory. In numerical simulation, an illustrative example applying the proposed scheme to 6-bus test system is shown.

As the power demand has been increasing, a fault current problem is becoming more serious in real power system. Various ways like bus-split operation, transmission line open operation, are used in Korean power system for solving the problem. In this time, superconducting FCL(Fault Current Limiter) has been developed as a vary attractive alternative since HTS(High Temperature Superconductivity) was discovered. Korea, a project developing superconducting FCL to apply to 154kV transmission system is proceeding. Therefore, a power system analysis for SFCL application to power system is necessary, This paper presents the determination of quenching resistance and the selection of optimal cites when 154kV HTS-FCL is applied to Korean power system.

A Voltage Bus Conditioner (VBC) is used to mitigate the voltage transients on a common power distribution bus. The VBC described here utilises inductive storage and unlike its counter part with capacitive storage, it can employ the entire stored energy towards transients' mitigation. The performances of adaptive duty ratio control and sliding mode control have been compared. The simulation results (with the package SABER) indicate that the sliding mode control results in the shortest and the smallest bus voltage excursions.

This paper presents a new algorithm for the countermeasure to alleviate the line overloads due to contingency without shedding loads in a power system. This method for relieving the line overloads by line switching is based on obtaining the kine outage distribution factors-the linear sensitivity factors, which give the amount of change in the power flow of each line due to the removal of a line in a power system. There factors are made up of the elements of sparse bus reactance matrix and brach reactances. In this paper a fast algorithm and program is presented for obtaining only the required bus reactance elements which corresponds to a non-zero elements of bus admittance matrix, and elements of columns which correspond to two terminal buses of the overloaded(monitored) line. The proposed algorithm has been validated in tests on a 6-bus and the 30-bus test system.

This paper proposes an application of artificial neural networks to the bus-bar separation in a substation for radial network operation. For the effective bus-bar operation, the insecurity index of transmission line load is introduced. For the radial network operation. the constraints of bus-bar switch is formulated in the performance function with the insecurity index. The determination of bus-bar switching is to find the states of 0 or 1 in the circuit breakers. In this paper, it is tested that the bus-bar separation of binary optimization problem can be solved by Hopfield networks with adequate manipulations.

In the event of a short-circuit accident on a 4.16 kV non-safety bus, the voltage is temporarily lowered as backflow occurs on the safety bus. In such cases, the undervoltage relay of the safety bus shall not pick up the undervoltage so as not to interfere with the operation of the safety motors. The aim of this study is to develop an adaptive undervoltage protection scheme for the 4.16 kV safety bus considering the faults on the 13.8 kV and 4.16 kV non-safety buses connected to secondary windings of the three winding transformers, UAT and SAT. The result of this study will be the adaptive undervoltage protection scheme for the safety bus of nuclear power plants satisfying functional requirements of the safety related medium voltage motors. The adaptive undervoltage protection scheme can be implemented into an integrated digital protective relay to make user friendly and reliable protection scheme.

The methods of forming the bus impedance matrix, which is mainly employed in fault analysis of power system, can be generally classified in catagories, (1) the one being the inverse matrix of bus admittance matrix, and (2) the other the bus impedance matrix succesive formation method by particular algorithms. The former method is theouetically elegant, but the formation and inverse of complex bus admittance matrix for large power system requires too much amounts of computer memory space and computing time. The latter method also requires too much memory space. Therefore, in this paper, an algorithm and computer program is introduced for the formation of a sparse bus impedance matrix which generates only the matching terms of the admittance matrix. So, this method can reduce the computer memory and computing time, and can be applied to fault analysis of large power system by small digital computer.

One of the critical issues in on-chip serial communications is increased power consumption. In general, serial communications tend to dissipate more energy than parallel communications due to bit multiplexing. This paper proposes a low-power bus serialization method. This encodes bus signals prior to serialization so that they are converted into signals that do not greatly increase in transition frequency when serialized. It significantly reduces the frequency by making the best use of word-to-word and bit-by-bit correlations presented in original parallel signals. The method is applied to the revision of an MPEG-4 processor, and the simulation results show that the proposed method surpasses the existing one. In addition, it is cost-effective when implemented as a hardware circuit since its algorithm is very simple.

This paper introduces a new scheme to balance the DC bus voltages of a cascaded H-bridge converter which is used as a Distribution Static Synchronous Series Compensator (D-SSSC) in electrical distribution network. The aim of D-SSSC is to control the power flow between two feeders from different substations. As a result of different cell losses and capacitors tolerance the cells DC bus voltage can deviate from their reference values. In the proposed scheme, by individually modifying the reference PWM signal for each cell, an effective balancing procedure is derived. The new balancing procedure needs only the line current sign and is independent of the main control strategy, which controls the total DC bus voltages of cascaded H-bridge. The effect of modulation index variation on the capacitor voltage is analytically derived for the proposed strategy. The proposed method takes advantages of phase shift carrier based modulation and can be applied for a cascaded H-bridge with any number of cells. Also the system is immune to loss of one cell and the presented procedure can keep balancing between the remaining cells. Simulation studies and experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in the balancing of DC bus voltages.

The audio data have been communicated using analog methods or simple protocols. However, with the advent and improvement of various multimedia functions, many audio devices have been integrated into a mobile handset in which interconnection lines are very complicated. Conventional point-to-point connections such as $I^2S$ and PCM demand more power consumption whenever more devices are attached. In this paper, we design a common bus digital audio interface that communicates with only two wires and employs the clock gear method to reduce bus power consumption. The comparison results show that the proposed common bus connection can reduce more than 30% of power consumption as compared with point-to-point connection if more than three devices are connected.
