A new protection coordination algorithm in Multi-Agent based distribution automation system is proposed in this paper. Distribution network protection coordination is acted by normal state distribution operation. But, in more and more complex distribution network structure, it has a big problem that central server processed all measurement data, coordination setting and controls for operation. So, a algorithm to change coordination setting is proposed automatically in terminal devices which Recloser and OCR to include Multi-Agent concepts in distribution network.

The introduction of new renewable energy is going on increase with the second plan of the Korean Government "Technology Development, Utilization and Popularization of New Renewable Energy". In general, it is connected to the power system due to the nature of it's source characteristics but it's interconnection operation impacts on the power system planning and operation. The operation schemes of the existing power distribution system are based on the unidirectional power flow, but unidirectional power flow changes to bidirectional power flow due to the interconnection operation of new renewable energy. It degrade the existing protection coordination system and power quality of the power distribution system. Thus, the technical evaluation process of the interconnection of new renewable energy are necessary. In this paper, the characteristics of the existing automatic recloser and sectionalizer are reviewed and interconnection capacity evaluation method of the DR(distributed resources) in the existing automatic recloser-sectionalizer protective coordination system are proposed.

Recently, there has been growing interest in distributed resources with high-energy efficiency due to the increasing energy consumption and environmental pollution problems. But an insertion of new distributed generation to existing power distribution systems can cause several problems such as voltage variations, harmonics, protective coordination, increasing fault current etc. In this paper, a new method of the fault location identification at the distribution system with distributed resources, which can be determined by the magnitude and direction of the fault current, is proposed. In addition, a new online protective coordination scheme of recloser-sectionalizer is proposed based on the proposed fault location identification method for distribution system with distributed resources.

현재의 전력산업에서 통신은 필수 항목이 되었다. 따라서 전력장치의 대부분이 통신 기능을 가지고 있으며 전력장치 개발을 위해서는 통신 탑재가 필수이다. 본 논문에서는 전력분야에서 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 DNP(Distributed Network Protocol)를 간편하게 전력장치에 탑재할 수 있는 DNP 이길를 제안한다. 제안된 DNP API는 Recloser에 DNP를 탑재하여 편리성을 검증하고, Test Harness를 통하여 통신 신뢰도를 검증하였다.

대용량 변압기의 교체시 고장전류 증가 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안 중 하나로 초전도 전류제한기를 설치하는 방안을 검토하고 있다. 이와 같은 고장전류저감을 위해 초전도 전류제한기를 배전계통에 도입하기 전에 고장전류 제한효과를 비롯하여 초전도 전류제한기의 임피던스에 따른 기존의 보호기기와의 보호협조를 고려할 필요가 있다. 그 중에서도 초전도 전류제한기 임피던스에 따라 초전도 전류제한기의 회복시간이 다르게 되며, 이로 인해 리클로저의 동작에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이에 대한 선행연구로서 모의 배전계통에 초전도 전류제한기를 적용하였을 경우 초전도 전류제한기의 저항 크기에 따른 초전도 전류제한기의 회복시간을 비교하였으며 리클로저의 동작에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

This paper presents the brief analytical study on 돋 effects of higher impedance transformer(HIT) to reduce distribution system fault current. With the increase of source and load capacity of power system, fault current of D/L is much more increased and, conventional protection equipment-such as sectionalizer and recloser, have to be replaced higher switching capacity. However, this replacements needs a lot of budget to utility. Increase of transformer impedance is can be a countermeasure in practical basis. This paper compares the voltage and fault current magnitude of both cases -%Zt=20% and %Zt2=33.3%(transformer capacity is 75/100MVA). The simulation results show that the steady state voltage of HIT is dropped 5~6% more in peak load, and fault current was decreased about 5kA by high impedance on transformer.

This paper proposes the new reclosing scheme considering the recovery time of SFCL in distribution systems which is based on variable dead time control. The main idea is that it uses the carrier signal to distinguish whether the fault is instantaneous or permanent following initial recloser opening. The system and SFCL is modeled by using Electromagnetic Transient Program(EMTP) and the validity of the reclosing scheme represented in this paper is analyzed according to the value of the fault resistance and the time of the fault removal.

최근 전력산업의 화두가 되고 있는 지능형 전력망과 그린 에너지 사용의 확대로 인하여 배전계통은 더욱 복잡한 망구조를 띄고 있으며, 이에 따라 계통에서 발생하는 고장전류 증가 및 과도현상들도 매우 다양하게 나타나고 있다. 이와 같은 과도현상으로부터 배전계통을 보호하기 위해 전력용 퓨즈, Recloser, 과전류 계전기, 과전압 계전기 등이 사용된다. 이러한 보호 기기들이 정상 동작하기 위해서는 사전 모의를 통해 상시 부하 전류와 고장 전류 및 계통 이상 상태를 파악하고, 다른 보호기기와의 보호 협조를 고려해야 한다. 이러한 보호 장비들을 구현하고, 동작을 검증함에 있어 기존에는 EMTP(ElectroMagnetic Transients Program)와 같은 과도현상 해석 프로그램이 사용되어 왔다. 최근 상용 버전으로 개발된 EMTP-RV(ElectroMagnetic Transients Program-Restructured Version)는 기존의 컨트롤 소자들로만 구현해야 했던 한계점을 극복하기 위해 사용자 정의가 가능한 DLL(Dynamic Link Library) 기능을 제공함으로써 사용자가 EMTP-RV 개발자와 동일한 환경 하에서 계통 소자를 구현할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 모델링 기법인 DLL 기능을 이용하여 과전압계전기를 구현하고 결과를 검증하여 모델링 방법의 적합함을 보였다.

In this paper, the protection coordination of the protection devices such as the over-current relay (OCR) and recloser (R/C) with superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) was investigated in a KEPCO grid. The operation time and protection coordination of the protection devices were changed by the SFCL. Through the analysis for protection coordination between the SFCL and the protection devices in the KEPCO grid, the operation time was observed to depend on the impedance of the SFCL.
