Recently, in power system studies, Multiple Energy Carriers (MECs) such as Energy Hub has been broadly utilized in power system planners and operators. Particularly, Energy Hub performs one of the most important role as the intermediate in implementing the MECs. However, it still needs to be put under examination in both modeling and operating concerns. For instance, a probabilistic optimization model is treated by a robust global optimization technique such as multi-agent genetic algorithm (MAGA) which can support the online economic dispatch of MECs. MAGA also reduces the inevitable uncertainty caused by the integration of selected input energy carriers. However, MAGA only considers current state of the integration of selected input energy carriers in conjunctive with the condition of smart grid environments for decision making in Energy Hub. Thus, in this paper, we propose an immune algorithm based Multiple Energy Carriers System which can adopt the learning process in order to make a self decision making in Energy Hub. In particular, the proposed immune algorithm considers the previous state, the current state, and the future state of the selected input energy carriers in order to predict the next decision making of Energy Hub based on the probabilistic optimization model. The below figure shows the proposed immune algorithm based Multiple Energy Carriers System. Finally, we will compare the online economic dispatch of MECs of two algorithms such as MAGA and immune algorithm based MECs by using Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS).

CVR is a technique for reducing power consumption by reducing the voltage of the system and many demonstrations and studies have been conducted in the past. Recently, SCADA-based or AMI-based VVC have been developed and the CVR is used as an important operation mode. Using a variety of instruments, CVR determines the optimal VVC control references by closed loop control. In this paper, we implemented RTDS-MATLAB integrated simulation environment for development and verification of CVR control algorithm based on voltage measurement. The voltage control device of distribution system was modeled using RTDS and MATLAB has constructed a controller that can measure and control the voltage of the simulation system of RTDS. After the capacitor, which is a reactive power control device, flattens the voltage of the system, the control algorithm reduces the voltage of the system by tap control of the OLTC based on the flatten voltage. The proposed system was verified by simulations.

본 논문은 실시간 디지털 시뮬레이터(Real Time Digital Simulator, RTDS)를 이용한 송전계통의 자동 재폐로 모의 교육훈련시스템 개발에 대해 요약하였다. 본 논문에서 개발한 모의 훈련 코스는 3상 일괄 재폐로와 1상 및 3상 재폐로의 두 가지 부분으로 나뉘어 구성되었다. RTDS를 이용한 모의 파일의 구성 시 각 계통은 양단에 거리계전기를 설치한 것으로 모의하였으며 154kV 계통의 경우 송전단은 실제 거리계전기를 이용하여 구성하였다. 1상 및 3상 재폐로의 경우 1선지락 고장에 대해서는 해당상만 트림 및 재폐로를 하도록 하고 나머지 고장에 대해서는 3상 일괄트립 및 재폐로가 되도록 모의하였으며 대상 계통은 345kV의 전형적인 송전계통을 대상으로 하였다. 리셋 시간의 모의 훈련을 위해 현재 국내 리셋시간 기준치 이내에 또 다른 고장이 발생했을 경우와 기준시간 이상 경과한 후에 고장이 발생한 경우를 나누어 모의할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 고장종류, 고장지속시간, 1상 및 3상 재폐로 선택, 재폐로 횟수 및 재폐로 시간 등은 현재 한국전력의 재폐로 규정에 언급된 것을 모의하는 것은 물론 사용자 임의로 변경이 가능하도록 구성하였다. 본 논문에서 개발한 모의 훈련코스는 송전계통의 자동재폐로에 대한 실무자들의 이해 증진을 위한 교육용으로 사용될 수 있음은 물론 보호 계전기 등의 시험을 위해서도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The operation of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) type wind power generation system (WPGS) can be affected by the utility condition. Consequently, transient condition of utility should be analyzed for the safe and reliable operation of WPGS. This paper presents transient analysis results of a PMSG type WPGS using real time digital simulator (RTDS). A fault condition was applied to the transient analysis of PMSG type WPGS as the transient grid condition. The simulation results were analyzed to show the operational characteristic of PMSG type WPGS under the transient phenomenon of utility.

Recently, utility network is becoming more and more complicated and huge due to IT(Information Technology) and OA(Office Automation) devices. In addition to, demands of power conversion devices which have non-linear switching devices are getting more and more increased. Voltage sag from sudden increasing loads is also one of the major problems inside of the utility network. In order to compensate the voltage sag problem, power compensation devices systems could be a good solution method. In case of voltage sag, it needs an energy source to overcome the energy caused by voltage sag. Superconducting Magnet Energy Storage (SMES) is a very good promising source due to the high response time of charge and discharge. This paper presents a real-time simulation algorithm for the SMES by using Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS). With this algorithm users can easily do the simulation of utility power network applied by SMES system with the SMES coil modeled in RTDS.

Power qualify monitoring system is devoted to more concern than before, because the innovation of industrial technology needs more accurate instruments and more advanced power quality. This paper was studied on using data of the protective relay by Power Quality Monitor. This paper was proposed the wave storage condition and monitoring clauses of the protective relay as a power quality monitoring device. The protective relay will have problem to save data for PQM analysis because the protective relay memory is limited. Therefore this paper was proposed new a data compression of data got from the protective relay. This method is wave compression comparison algorithm using the DFT. The compression rate is higher than any other established method. This method can be real time storage. This algorithm is verified using the comparison among other compression rate and proved by Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS).

The use of voltage source converter multi-terminal direct current (VSC-MTDC) systems is anticipated to increase from the introduction of wind farms and super grids in the near future. Effective control of the DC voltage in VSC-MTDC systems is an important research topic. This paper proposes a new dynamic reference-based voltage droop control to control the DC voltage in VSC-MTDC systems more effectively. The main merit of the dynamic reference-based voltage droop control is that it can reduce the steady-state error in conventional voltage droop control by changing references according to the system operating conditions. The performance of the proposed control was tested in a hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) system based on the OPAL-RT real-time digital simulator and four digital signal processing boards.

This paper performs a comparison analysis of two types of HVDC system in Jeju power system. A traditional HVDC transmission system had been composed of line commutated converter based on thyristors and the development of semiconductors enables to apply voltage source converter using IGBTs. The detailed parameters of Jeju power system were considered to make a similar condition with real system in real time digital simulator. Two types of HVDC transmission system were modeled and simulated to compare their characteristics in Jeju power system. The simulation results demonstrate that the VSC-HVDC system has more stable performance due to the fast response speed than LCC-HVDC when the transmission capacity was fluctuated.
