Protection issues in distribution systems which are to be operated in open and closed-loop modes in a smart grid are studied and a generalized protection setting method is proposed to meet the new requirements. The developed setting method assumes a conventional over-current protection scheme for the system with reclosers and over-current relays. In a closed-loop mode, it identifies protective devices that have to be sacrificed in order to maximize protection coordination for bidirectional fault current flow. The proposed setting method has been tested on many systems with different complexity and is proved effective.

Among the high distribution voltage consumers, high-capacity consumers are often applying the grounding resistance method in order to overcome demerits such as erroneous operation of the ground reply or potential increase in the battery at the accident of the isolated neutral system. In this paper, to prevent damage to CLR and GPT in the delay to block the breakdown in the resistance grounded neutral system, this study aims to provide a proper suggestion for continuous rating capacity of GPT to check the appropriateness of CLR size and reduce GPT burden. Thereupon, this study comparatively analyzes CLR current applied in general GPT and the current gained when CLR demanded in the system is used and analyzes the simulated system through simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC in order to suggest GPT's proper continuous rating capacity.

DAS(Distribution Automation System) is equipped with several software applications such as service restoration, loss minimization, and protective relay coordination. The software applications of DAS are very sensitive to the amount of section load being carried by a particular section of distribution lines. Moreover, each software application requires a different parameter of the section load according to its purpose. Therefore, This paper proposes a new section load management method using real-time measurement data of the distribution lines. In order to provide accurate data to DAS applications, this method considers section loads in terms of the relationship of power versus time. In order to establish that the proposed method is feasible, a performance-testing simulator was developed, and case studies were conducted for a modified real distribution network.

최근 이산화탄소 배출권 문제 등 에너지와 환경문제가 대두됨에 따라 신재생에너지의 도입이 증가하고 있다. 신재생에너지전원은 전력 수급 측면에서 부하 증가에 따른 공급을 가능하여 신뢰성 확보할 수 있다. 그러나 고장 전류 측면에서 고장전류가 증가하여 기존의 보호협조 및 차단기 동작에 악영향을 미칠 수 있다. 특히, 신재생에너지전원의 연계용 변압기 결선방식으로 인해 보호기기가 오동작이 발생 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 보호기기의 오동작을 해결하기 위하여 신재생에너지전원이 연계된 스마트 그리드 수용가 설비의 양방향 보호협조 제어장치(영상지락전류(NGR) 제어장치) 설계하고자 시뮬레이션 분석을 수행하였다.

This paper discusses the operational characteristic analysis of distance relay depending on the power system parameters in transmission line including FACTS devices. Distance relay requires protective coordination because the FACTS devices change power system parameters to increase power transmission capacity. In this paper, the dynamic operational characteristics of distance relay are analyed for the effect of fault resistance and operation mode of FACTS devices according to the installed points of these devices.

When we perform the test related to the power distribution system such as artificial fault test, protective coordination test, distribution automation test in short length test line, Lumped Constant Circuit, a kind of variable impedance, should be attached to the test line in order to make it equivalent to a real line in length electrically. In this paper we designed the positive sequence and zero sequence Lumped Constant Circuit with optimized inductor and resister for the modification of long, 16km, distribution line, when they are attached to the short, 4km, distribution test line.

Distribution Automation System(DAS) is designed to improve operational efficiency by acquisition and control of remote data using its components such as central computation units, communication network and feeder remote terminal units. A conventional human machine interface of the DAS adopts a schematic diagram which is made by drawing power equipments on the geographic information system map. The single line diagram is more useful than the schematic diagram for the main tasks of distribution system operation such as protective relay coordination, service restoration and loss minimization. Since the configuration of the distribution line is changed according to the relocation of the open tie switches, the auto-drawing algorithm based on the connection between the sections and the switches is an essential technique. This paper proposes a new auto-drawing algorithm for a single line diagram of distribution systems based on tertiary tree and collision avoidance method. The feasibility of the proposed algorithm has been testified for various cases using practical distribution system with 12 feeders.

최근 정부의 일련의 강력한 정책의 시행으로 계통에 분산형전원의 설치가 빠르게 증가하고 있다. 게다가 2015년 4월부터는 분산형전원의 저압계통 연계기준이 500kW 미만으로 크게 늘어 신재생에너지를 이용한 분산형전원의 계통 연계량의 증가는 더욱 늘어날 것으로 예상된다. 특히 저압계통에 연계되는 분산형전원의 연계용량이 늘어남에 따라 기존 연계 기준에서는 큰 영향을 미치지 않았던 고장들도 사고 발생 시 특고압으로 운영 중인 배전계통에 미치는 영향도 같이 늘어난다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존과는 달라진 환경에서 계통에서 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 분석하여 대책을 제시하도록 하겠다.

As it has been reported that more than 60% of transmission line faults occurs due to lightning strokes, lighting is one of concerned issues in electric power utility company. Most of transmission line is double circuit in Korea. Double circuit outages account for 33.7 percent of total lightning faults from 1996 to 2004. Even though transmission fault might be cleared shortly by protective system, it could deteriorate the power quality accompanied with sag or flicker. Moreover, double circuit fault may lead to more aggravated situation, for instance, blackout. To Protect transmission lines from lightning stroke, reduction of tower footing resistance, multiple ground wires and unbalanced insulation in double circuit lines have been adopted. In this paper, we would like to introduce insulation design standards for lightning protection of Korea Electric Power Corporation.

우리나라의 배전선로는 가공선로 위주로 성장하여 약40여년전부터 지중배전선로를 보급하기 시작하여 현재는 전제선로의 12.1%를 지중화하기에 이르렀다. 지중설비의 증가는 배전선로 안정화에 상당한 기여를 하였으며 일시 및 순간고장도 과거에 비해 엄창나게 줄어들게 되었으며, 이로 인하여 고장에 있어서 세계적인 수준의 전기품질을 자랑할수 있게 되었다. 하지만, 지중배전선로는 일반적으로 고장전류가 매우크고, 일단 고장이 발생하면 복구에 장시간이 소요될 뿐 아니라 고장원인을 찾는데도 상당한 어려움이 있으며, 최근에는 지상기기(변압기, 개폐기)등이 노후화 되면서 안전사고로 까지 확대되고 있는 상황이다. 때문에 지중배전선로에 적용할수 있는 다회로차단기를 개발하여 고장예방 및 고장구간 축소에 사용하고 있지만, 아직까지 보호협조 측면으로 잘 활용되고 있지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 현행 한전의 지중배전선로 보호기기운영 상황을 분석하고 지중 배전선로에 운전되고 있는 다회로차단기의 적합한 운영방법을 제시하여 지중배선선로 보호협조 방안을 강구하여 보고자 한다.
