This paper proposes the effective method to improve the protection from induced lightning surge by making common grounding from individual grounding. Common grounding under equipotential principle is more effective than individual grounding for lightning surge protection, and so common grounding is indicated as international technical standard under the AC power supply system with neutral line. So, this paper is to propose the effective way of induced lightning surge protection method for currently installed power supply system which has no neutral grounded line and individual grounding which are weak for lightning surge protection. This proposal can improve the power supply system as has neutral line, and improve the grounding system to common grounding system. And also this paper proposes to make effective equipotential system with voltage variable shunting devices for lightning surge protection.

The occurrence frequency of lightning and surge from the weather accident is increasing recently, which the damage scale have been enlarged every year. A protection system development to solve these problems have been risen to a multinational concern field. In this paper, a novel protection system is proposed to restrain lightning and various surges which happen in electricity and communication equipment. The proposed protection system is designed to the structure to restrain the rise of the earth potential which is become to the problem of conventional protection system. The secondary damage as a result does not happen. The practicality of the developed surge protection system is proved through various accident occurrence simulator.

A steady-state margin comparison study was performed between analog and digital protection systems. The systems compared are the thermal overpower and overtemperature delta T system of Westinghouse, and Core Protection Calculator System of Combustion Engineering, Inc. No dynamic offset was considered to eliminate the margin differences by different safety analysis methodologies. The result shows that the digital protection system has about 30% more rated power margin than the analog system in protecting against the fuel rod centerline melting. The digital protection system is shown to have almost same margin with the analog protection system in preventing the DNB at EOC (End of Cycle) even if the digital protection system has about 10% more margin at BOC(Beginning of Cycle).

With the development of information technology, the cybersecurity threat continues as digital-related technologies are applied to the instrumentation and control system of nuclear power plants. The malfunction of the instrumentation and control system can cause economic damage due to shutdown, and furthermore, it can lead to national disasters such as radioactive emissions, so countering cybersecurity threats is an important issue. In general, the study of cybersecurity in instrumentation and control systems is concentrated on safety systems, and diverse protection systems perform protection and reactor shutdown functions, leading to reactor shutdown or, in the worst case, non-stop situations. To accurately analyze cyber threats in the diverse protection system, its linked facilities should be analyzed together. Risk analysis should be conducted by analyzing the potential impact of inter-facility cyberattacks on related facilities and the impact of cybersecurity on each configuration module of the diverse protection system. In this paper, we analyze the linkage of the diverse protection system and discuss the cybersecurity linkage threat by analyzing the availability of equipment, the cyber threat impact of the linked equipment, and the configuration module's cybersecurity vulnerability.

The fire protection system for high-rise buildings is currently confined to the preparation of sprinklers, emergency stairs, and exit and monitoring systems. On the other hand, an integrated system, including the model with scenario-based actions, is required for effective fire protection. An integrated fire protection system is needed to operate and manage the total cycle of the fire protection. In this study, an integrated fire protection system, which included sensing and consequent processes related to fire emergencies, was designed and implemented. The designed scheme can gather and analyze the data of the production, operation, and consumption patterns as it integrates fire protection systems for fire fighters and evacuating people. The integrated fire protection technology and system, which has target performance with satisfied 1/2 sec transaction response time and 1.2 transactions per second, is expected to contribute to market creation in converged technology-based fire protection fields.

Protection system is important part in distribution system. Protection system in power systems can fail either by not responding when they should(failure to operate) or by operating when they should not(false tripping). Customers has dissatisfied that due to the failure of protection system. The reliability of distribution system also has influenced. However, the failure of protection system can reduced by the maintenance. This paper has focused on malfunction of protection system. The approach is based on Markov models.

The Reactor Protection System (RPS) is a very important system in a nuclear power plant because the system shuts down the reactor to maintain the reactor core integrity and the reactor coolant system pressure boundary if the plant conditions approach the specified safety limits. This paper describes the unavailability assessment of a digital reactor protection system using the fault tree analysis technique. The fault tree technique can be expressed in terms of combinations of the basic event failures. In this paper, a prediction method of the hardware failure rate is suggested for a digital reactor protection system. and applied to the reactor protection system being developed in Korea.

In this paper, a communication module between Relay agents in a multi-agent system based power distribution network protection system is realized using DNP3.0(Distributed Network Protocol), which is the standard communication protocol of distribution automation system in KEPCO. The key words for agent communication in the multi-agent based protection system are defined and represented by use of DNP application function code. The communication module developed based on the proposed communication scheme is tested by use of the Communication Test Harness, a test tool for DNP protocol, then used to the multi-agent system based power distribution net work protection system.

In this paper, we consider a digital protection IED(Intelligent Electric Device) for a distributed power system. The IED can measure various elements for protection and communicate with another devices through network. The protection IED is composed of specific function modules: signal process module which converts analog signal from PT and CT handle algorithm to digital one; communication module for connection with another IEDs; input/output module for user-interfaces. A general purpose DSP board with TMS320C2812 is used in the IED. In order to verify the proposed IED, experimental researches with the power system simulator DOBLE has been carried out for a phase earth fault. The results show an under-voltage relaying algorithm has been realized sucessfully in the hardware system.

Most of maritime metallic structures are adopted a CP(Cathodic Protection) System for protection of corrosion in advanced country. So, we had been developed a remote corrosion monitoring control system. And we want to know the characteristics of efficiency, reliability, durability and so on.
