It is very important to study the protective relaying system from the viewpoint of technical analysis to apply superconducting power devices to real power systems. In this paper, we developed Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) analysis model using Real Time Digital Simulator(RTDS) for protective relay tests in power system with SFCLs. The RTDS model has the operation mechanism of a real SFCL system.

HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) transmission system was constructed between Cheju island and mainland Haenam and has been operating commercially since 1998. But research activities in this area are not so much. That is caused by the facts that HVDC is large scale system and it is not so easy to implement and to test. Though such simulation tools as RTDS(Real Time Digital Simulator) and EMTDC can be useful, these have limitations for actual control and protective system design. Therefore scaled-down HVDC model was developed for the purpose of researches at operating technique, control and protection methods. The design of this model was based on real Cheju-Haenam HVDC system. And additionally faults simulator such as ground fault, short-circuit and change of impedance in transmission line is equipped for analysis of these faults. Control system of the model was implemented fully digitally. So it is very easy for the researchers to develope control and protection algorithm and to test the performance.

Several kinds of High Temperature Superconducting(HTS) power cables have already been developed and evaluated for use in the utility power network. HTS power cable is expected to be used as a very powerful energy delivery system supplying electric power for densely populated cities in the near future, because HTS power cable is capable of the high current density delivery with low AC loss and the size effect comparing with the conventional cable whose capacity is same. Before applying the HTS power cable to real utility network system analysis should be carried out by some simulation tools. Hereby the electrical power system analysis is very important for the practical use of HTS power devices. In this paper, authors propose a real-time simulation method which incorporates a real HTS tapes into the simulated 22.9kV utility power network system using Real Time Digital Simulator(RTDS). For the simulation analysis, a test sample of HTS tapes was actually manufactured, and the transient phenomenon of HTS power cable system was analyzed in the simulated utility power network.

Interactive simulators that simulate mechanical systems are being developed for the purpose of performance evaluation of product design, replacement of physical training, and entertainment game. Use of flight simulator is increasing to reduce risk and cost of physical training, and we need virtual environment which covers large area terrain. We need a method that can reduce development cost and construction time of virtual environment that simulate the real environment. There have been attempts to link GIS or remote sensing field with virtual reality. This paper examines a method that helps to construct virtual environment, and attempts to link geographic information with virtual reality. A construction method of virtual environment based on digital map and satellite image has been studied.

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.

The functional test of protection relays is divided into two kind of test types; the steady-state test and dynamic test. Because the steady-state test is comparatively easy, this test is used to test the characteristics of the relaying elements, operating values, resetting values and etc. using equipment such as Doble. But the dynamic test has to be performed on the test environment with RTDS(real time digital simulator) because of the dynamic characteristics of real protection relays. Therefore, it is not usually easy to perform dynamic test of relays using power system simulation tool based on PC(personal computer) such as PSCAD/EMTDC. This paper discusses how to develop and implement a test model and user-defined components that can be performed dynamic test using PSCAD/EMTDC.

Recently, traffic congestion and environmental pollution have occurred due to population concentration and vehicle increase in large cities. Various studies are being conducted to solve these problems. Most of the traffic congestion in cities is caused by traffic signals at intersections. This paper proposes a dynamic traffic light control (DTLC) scheme to support safe vehicle operation and smooth traffic flow using real-time traffic information based on VANET. DTLC receives instantaneous speed and directional information of each vehicle through road side units (RSUs) to obtain the density and average speed of vehicles for each direction. RSUs deliver this information to traffic light controllers (TLCs), which utilize it to dynamically control traffic lights at intersections. To demonstrate the validity of DTLC, simulations were performed on average driving speed and average waiting time using the ns-2 simulator. Simulation results show that DTLC can provide smooth traffic flow by increasing average driving speed at dense intersections and reducing average waiting time.

In this paper, a hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform for MMCs is established, which connects a real time digital simulator (RTDS) and a designed MMC controller with optical fiber. In this platform, the converter valves are simulated with a small time step of 2.5 microsecond in the RTDS, and multicore technology is implemented for the controller so that the parallel valve control is distributed between different cores. Therefore, the designed controller can satisfy the requirements of real-time control. The functions of the designed platform and the rationality for the designed controller are verified through experimental tests. The results show that different modulation modes and various control strategies can be implemented in the simulation platform and that each control objective can been tracked accurately and with a fast dynamic response.
