Distance relay plays an important role in the protection of transmission lines. The application of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices, such as the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), could affect the performance of the distance relay because of compensation effect. This paper analyzes the application of distance relay on the protection of a transmission line containing STATCOM. New setting principles for different protection zones are proposed based on this analysis. A typical 500 kV transmission system employing STATCOM is modeled using Matlab/Simulink. The impact of STATCOM on distance protection scheme is studied for different fault types, fault locations, and system configurations. Based on simulation results, the performance of distance relay is evaluated. The setting principle can be verified for the transmission line with STATCOM.

차세대 셀룰러 시스템은 중계기를 이용한 다중 홉 전송을 사용함으로써 신호의 전달 거리가 감소하고 이를 통한 전송률을 증대시킨다. 그러나 다중 홉 전송을 이용한 전달 거리 감소는 외부 셀 입장에서 간섭량의 증가를 의미하기 때문에 중계기의 위치는 셀룰러 시스템 성능에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 중계기의 전송 전력과 위치에 따른 간섭량의 변화를 고려하여 최대의 전송률을 내기 위한 중계기 위치를 결정한다. 중계기 위치 결정을 위한 조건은 수학적인 모델로 분석되었고 모의실험 결과를 통해서 그 성능을 검증하였다. 본 논문의 분석에 따르면 하나의 셀의 평균 오수신 확률을 최소화 시킬 수 있는 중계기 설치 지점과 중계기 전송 전력이 존재하며, 주파수 재사용에 따른 셀들 간 간섭이 심각하지 않은 상황에서 중계기는 평균 오수신 확률을 감소시켜줌으로써 셀 용량 증대에 기여하였다. 반면 셀간 간섭이 심각한 경우 중계기의 사용은 오히려 해당 셀의 오수신 확률을 증가시키므로 지양해야 한다는 결론에 도달하였다.

Korea Power System Protection Setting Rule was used from the rectify 1990's. Thereafter transmission voltage is raised the voltage into 765kV, and introduction to new technology of Power System, and was many of variation but, it is using. The present is using Digital type distance relay for 765kV transmission line protection. If impedance value of transmission line were to value lower than setting, this would be operating and relay setting rule is for 85% into Zone 1 self section, and Zone 2 is a 125%, Zone 3 is a 225%. Which's $15{\sim}25%$ include current transformer error 5%, potential transformer 5%, relay calculation error 5% and margin factor from the field experience. This paper is discussed transmission protective relay and relay setting rule of high voltage power system and we verify the correctness relay setting rule with distance relay using Matlab simulation.

Distance relay is being used for transmission line protection. Recently, current differential relay is used with high reliability in power system. This kind of relay is reported that it has a reliable detection ability, even so high impedance faults take place in transmission line. Therefore it is expected to use and expand widely in many utilities. Tripping of the relay is decided according to the difference between differential and restraint current. However the tripping criterion can be changed by the manufacturers. This paper presents an operational scheme of current differential relay for transmission line protection with graphical model. It is developed for educational purpose for students interesting in power system and protection engineer in utility. MATLAB is used to establish the models.

In this paper, the performance of dual-hop multi-relay maximum ratio transmission (MRT) over Rayleigh flat fading channels is studied with both conventional (all relays participate the transmission) and opportunistic (best relay is selected to maximize the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)) relaying. Performance analysis starts with the derivation of the probability density function, cumulative distribution function and moment generating function of the SNR. Then, both approximate and asymptotic expressions of symbol error rate (SER) and outage probability are derived for arbitrary numbers of antennas and relays. With the help of asymptotic SER and outage probability, diversity and array gains are obtained. In addition, impact of imperfect channel estimations is investigated and optimum power allocation factors for source and relay are calculated. Our analytical findings are validated by numerical examples which indicate that multi-relay MRT can be a low complexity and reliable option in cooperative networks.

협업통신은 다중경로페이딩의 문제를 해결하고 전송전력소모를 감소시키기위한 효과적인 기술이다. 릴레이선택과 전력할당은 협업통신의 성능을 결정하는 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 센서네트워크에서 네트워크수명 극대화를 위해 새로운 형태의 다중 릴레이선택 방법과 전력할당 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 릴레이 선택 알고리즘은 채널상태 뿐아니라 각 노드의 잔여전력을 함께 고려함으로써 전송전력을 극소화하고 네트워크의 수명을 증가시킨다. 시뮬레이션결과는 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 방식에비해 더 긴 네트워크 수명을 갖을 수 있음을 보여준다.

Cooperative relaying methods have attracted a lot of interest in the past few years. A conventional cooperative relaying scheme has a source, a destination, and a single relay. This cooperative scheme can support one symbol transmission per time slot, and is caned full rate transmission. However, existing fun rate cooperative relay approaches provide asymmetrical gain for different transmitted symbols. In this paper, we propose a cooperative relaying scheme that is assisted with dual relays and provides full transmission rate with the same macro-diversity to each symbol. We also address equalization for the dual relay transmission system in addition to addressing the issues concerning the improvement of system performance in terms of optimal power allocations.

Compared to nomadic and fixed relay stations, vehicle-mounted mobile relay stations show different characteristics caused by the time-variant topology, due to their mobility. Especially, a relay mounted in a vehicle is differentiated from nomadic or fixed relay by the restricted distance between the relay and associated mobile station and the variable density of relay deployment in a cell. In this paper, we identify the characteristics of vehicle-mounted mobile relay stations and provide some parameters that highly influence the performance of vehicle-mounted relay. Through simulation, we measure the effect of relay density, zone ratio, relay transmission power, and frame transmission mode on the performance of vehicle-mounted relay. The results show that the performance of vehicle-mounted relay is highly susceptible to the above vehicle-mounted relay-specific parameters.

In this paper, we propose a packet scheduling algorithm for cellular relay networks by considering relay selection, variation of channel quality, and packet delay. In the networks, mobile users are equipped with not only cellular but also user relaying radio interfaces, where base station exploits adaptive high speed downlink channel. Our proposed algorithm selects a user with good cellular channel condition as a relay station for other users with bad cellular channel condition but can get access to relay link with good quality. This can achieve flexible packet scheduling by adjusting transmission rates of cellular link. Packets are scheduled for transmission depending on scheduling indexes which are calculated based on user's achieved transmission rate, packet utility, and proportional fairness of their throughput. The performance results obtained by using computer simulation show that the proposed scheduling algorithm is able to achieve high network capacity, low packet loss, and good fairness in terms of received throughput of mobile users.

In this paper, the digital distance relay of transmission lines under fault conditions is discussed. Distance relay is used to protect transmission lines. The principle of distance relay is well-known ; the impedance measured by a relay is Proportional to the distance from the relay to the fault. Hence, by measuring the impedance, it can be determined whether the line is faulted or not. Unfortunately, the measurement of the fault distance is distorted by Mutual Coupling. To implement more reliable and practical digital distance relay, the mutual coupling effect has to be considered.
