Available transfer capability (ATC) is a measure of the transfer capability remaining in a transmission system. Application of unified power flow controllers (UPFCs) could have positive impacts on the ATC of some paths while it might have a negative impact on the ATC of other paths. This paper presents an approach to evaluate the impacts of UPFCs on the ATC from a cost/worth point of view. The UPFC application worth is considered as the maximum cost saving in enhancing the ATC of the paths due to the UPFC implementation. The cost saving is considered as the cost of optimal application of other system reinforcement alternatives (except for UPFC) to reach the same ATC level obtained by UPFC application. UPFC application costs include the maximum cost of alleviating the probable negative impact on the ATC of some paths caused by implementing UPFCs. Optimal system reinforcement is used for systems with UPFCs to determine the aforementioned cost. The proposed method is applied to the IEEERTS and the results are evaluated through a sensitivity analysis. The cost/worth of UPFC application is also used to develop an index for optimal UPFC location and the results are compared with those of other indices. A comparison is finally made with the results obtained using an existing ATC allocation profit-based approach to determine UPFC application worth.

This paper presents a Photovoltaic Generation system using a Space Vector Modulation. PWM voltage source inverter using inverter consists of complex type of electric power converter to compensate for the defect, that is solar cell cannot be developed continuously by connecting with the source of electric power for ordinary use. It can cause the effect of saving electric power, from 10 to 20[%]. Synchronous signal and control signal was processed by the 56F8323 microprocessor for stable modulation. Also, Waveforms output current and voltage of system controlled so that phase conforms and can supply electric power that stabilize by the unit power factor.

In a heating control system, the indoor temperature controller transfers temperature signals inputted from the temperature sensor and the user to the valve controller. The valve controller receives these signals then the valve controller controls the valve driving motor on two position control and controls the indoor temperature. When setting up a new valve driving motor from a long distance it is necessary to set up a new valve controller. But occasionary, due to construction, It is impossible to wire between the existing valve controller and the new valve controller. In this situation, the new and existing valve controllers can communicate via power line communication. In this paper it is proposed heating control system controls on two position control via power line communication.

Protection and control systems play a prominent part in avoiding power delivery interruptions and help to get a fast and secure restoration when a failure occurs. In order to meet the higher functional requirements on modern power system, protection speed, selectivity, sensitivity, dependability, and security are essential to ensure reliability. These functions on be satisfied by taking advantage of microprocessor and communication technologies, and digital protection relays (systems) have been developed and applied to real power system enhancing reliability and saving money. It is necessary to have a tool to analyze the functions and algorithms of digital relays for installing them to power system. The purpose of this study is to develop a digital relay simulation program to estimate digital relay performances during system faults. Components of digital protective relay including analog filter, sampling unit, digital filter, and relay logic are modeled in this program.

The KOMAC(KOrea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex) linac is composed of RFQ(Radio Frequency Quadrupole), CCDTL(Coupled Cavity Drift Tube Linac) and SC(Superconducting)-linac. The required CW output power of RF system is about 25㎿ for 20㎿ proton beam power. Therefore high power RF sources are necessary for cost saving and reliability improvement. The number of klystrons for 0.5 ㎿ at 350MHz and 1 ㎿ at 700MHz are 1 and 31, respectively. In this paper, the design parameters of the klystron system including power supply and energy recovery system are presented.

This study considers the economic aspect of the distribution automation system, which is the decision-making criteria of the electric utilities for the investment. The feeder automation candidate region is divided into two types of the urban and the rural. The total investment cost of the feeder automation for each type is estimated. The annual cost, is also estimated, by finding the fixed charge rate. To compare the annual cost and the economic effect cost, for the investment decision-making, the costs are quantitatively estimated on the following effects : the manpower replacement, the outage cost saving, the main transformer utilization improvement, the feeder utilization improvement, and the line loss reduction.

For a reliability assessment of large machinery parts, reliable data should be obtained from testing many samples for a long time. However, in case of testing these samples, testing cost is excessive; in case of life test for long time, power consumption is high; and in case of accelerated test by over load, very high cost is required to build the life testing device. Especially it is very frequent that the expensive device's life has ended during a accelerated test by over load. In this study, the design mechanism of the life testing device which excels in energy saving during the reliability test of large machinery parts has been introduced.

This paper is a system that visually informs the hearing impaired to visit other people by blinking the light of a room using the IoT(Internet of Things) technology. The system combines the power of home-use lights with low-power IoT devices to provide visual notifications. Using a current sensor, this system can track user location and then turns on and off the light in that room only to save energy. The proposed idea can create a society that is equal to everyone and can live more conveniently.

this paper proposes the operation algorithm of 1MW class Battery Energy Storage System(BESS) installed at the extra-high voltage customer. The objective of the proposed algorithm is to reduce electric charges during the operation of the BESS interconnected to power system. This paper simulates the electric charges in 1998 considering Season and Time of Use Rate and Power Factor in the assumption that electricity demand in 1998 is the same amount of that in 1997 and shows the saving of about 40 million won in the total electric charges. The results comparing the real electric charges of June. July and August in 1997 with that in 1998 show that the implementation of the proposed algorithm could significantly reduce electric charges during the operation the BESS.
