In this paper, a new remote terminal unit(hereafter RTU) is proposed to manage a wide range of applications and a variety of sensors (eg, pressure, water quality, temperature and humidity sensors, the amount of pollutants, $CO_2$, etc.) to monitor and control the facility such as water treatment plant, intake and effluent pumping station, water tank and distribution network. Fault status of local sensor devices and network are alerted by using the embedded fault handling capabilities of the RTU in the system and also sent to the fault handling server, by which fault can be easily monitored to users. The developed system was applied to one of K-water branch offices in Geoje city and improved its reliability and stability for controlling and monitoring water facility.

Cyber threats of the ICS(Industrial Control System) has been researched on the level to the threat to the network service as well as a specific system, even if the extent of damage was not intended. Although some range of "security" just include the protection of systems against the deliberate attacks of terrorists or cyber hackers, often more damage is done by carelessness, and equipment failures than by those deliberate attacks. This paper presented a taxonomy for classifying all abnormal behaviors of ICS, including deliberate attacks, inadvertent mistakes, equipment failures, and software problems. The classification criteria of ICS abnormal behaviors was selected to highlight commonalities and important features of deliberate attacks as well as inadvertent actions.

Recent cyber attacks targeting control systems are getting sophisticated and intelligent notoriously. As the existing signature based detection techniques faced with their limitations, a whitelist model with security techniques is getting attention again. However, techniques that are being developed in a whitelist model used at the application level narrowly and cannot provide specific information about anomalism of various cases. In this paper, we classify abnormal cases that can occur in control systems of enterprises and propose a new whitelist model for detecting abnormal cases.

This study proposes the automation of disinfection process in water treat plant to reach target effluent chlorine concentration rate according to chlorine consumption rate by varying travel time. Hydraulic analysis about the process and local facility was surveyed first and the program for automatic operation was developed to solve current problem, whose applied result was presented and proved to be better than present controller. Especially using multi variable process algorithm, the correlation coefficient is analyzed between environment factor and reaction time, and process control prove to be stable through model estimation with optimal control input.

Modern power system is operated and managed in closed network environment with treating a great variety of data, and requirement of real time power system data is more increasing. However, it is difficult for operators to fast evaluate the condition of power system using only isolation network system such as SCADA or EMS regarding unexpecting situations occurring. Recent technology achievement in areas of distributed computing, networking high speed communications and digital control as well as the availability of accurate GPS time source are rapidly becoming the enabling factors for the development of a new generation of real time power grid monitoring tools. In this paper, architecture of WAMAC which is the wide area monitoring and control system not only to control but also to monitoring in real time is proposed and the plan of integration interface with legacy system such as EMS for providing power system analysis base data effectively is suggested.

2005년 유틸리티 산업분야 국제표준 규약으로서 IEC61850이 발표된 이후, 변전소 자동화 시스템 설계 및 구현을 위한 새로운 패러다임으로 인식되고 있다. 현재, 유럽시장을 중심으로 IEC61850 규약과 호환되는 많은 제품들이 출시되고 있고 다양한 구현사례를 통해 그 적용가능성 및 타당성이 검증되고 있다. 그러나, 변전소 자동화의 기본 통신규약으로서 IEC61850이 도입될 경우, 이미 기존에 설치되어 운용중인 수많은 전력설비 감시/제어 시스템 및 상위 제어센터와의 통신 호환성 문제가 발생되며, 향후, IEC61850 기반의 디지털변전소 확대 적용에 장애 요인으로 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 IEC61850 기반의 변전소자동화 용 게이트웨이 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 제안된 시스템은 기존에 운용되고 있는 전력설비 감시/제어 시스템과의 호환성 제공은 물론, 변전소 내의 IEC61850 IED들과 상위제어센터 내의 송변전 SCADA 시스템간 통신 및 상호운영성을 제공한다. 또한, 시스템의 가용성 및 신뢰성을 보장하기 위한 이중화 메커니즘을 지원한다.

The IT project for power plants initiated domestically in 2005 necessitates the power equipment facility and the controllers for those to be sufficiently adaptable for automation system for power substations. This implies that the power plants using power equipments must be developed to satisfy the IEC61850 standards. The IEC61850 communication standards that all power equipment and facility and controllers installed in automation system for power substations must follow has had its Parts 3 and Part 4 established as international standard in January 2002 and Part 10 in May 2005, the last to become international standard. Hence all separate parts of the original IEC61850 standard came to be established as international standards. As a consequence, after 2005, in most power substations around the world the IEC61850 standard is being applied and the prominent makers are geared towards manufacturing products to the IEC61850 standard. The IEC61850 is being recognized as an essential standard that must be applied to not only power substations but for automation of power systems and communication systems. In this research, the Gateway device that connects current SCADA system and IEC61580 based system has been domesticated with Korea‘s own technology and extensive testing was carried out in order to obtain confidence in its performance.

전력거래소는 전격계통 안정된 운영과 공정한 전력시장 운영을 주요 임무로 하며, 이를 위하여 전국의 80여개의 발전소와 600여개 변전소로부터 발전량, 전압, 조류, 자단기 상태정보 등 다양한 전력계통 자료를 취득하고 있다 전력거래소의 중앙급전소에는 이와 같은 계통자료 취득은 물론 발전량 제어기능을 수행하기 위한 에너지관리시스템(이하 EMS 라 한다)을 운영하고 있으며, 발,변전소에는 현장의 전력설비와 연결되어 계통자료를 취득하여 EMS로 전송하는 원격소장치 (이하 RTU 라한다)를 운영하고 있다. 자료취득 경로는 모든 발전소와 34skv급 이상의 변전소의 경우 EMS와 RTU가 직접 연결되어 자료를 취득하며 154Kv급 이하 변전소는 12개 지역급전소의 자료취득제어시스템(이하 SCADA라 한다)를 경유하여 자료를 취득하고 있다. 전력계통의 대형화와 복잡화에 따라 계통해석기능 자동발전제어기능에 의한 계류운영으로 정보기술에 대한 의존도가 증가하고 있으며, 변동비 반영시장의 개선운영에 따라 공정한 전력시장 운영과 안정된 전력계통 운영을 위해 전력계통 취득자료의 신뢰도가 요구되고 있다. 따라서 EMS를 비롯한 RTU, 통신망 등 전력계통 자료취득 설비의 운영실적을 분석하여 각 시스템별 고장 고장원인 고장유형 등을 고찰하므로써 시스템 성능개선을 위한 설비투자와 운영개선에 반영하고자 한다.

RS-232C는 정보기기들을 연결하는 직렬통신 표준으로, 간단한 구조로 인해, 복잡한 요구 조건이 없는 상용 기기들의 제어 및 감시용으로 사용되고 있다. 최근 무선동신기술이 발전함에 따라, 저가격의 무선통신 기술을 활용하여 무선 RS-232C에 대한 요구가 늘어나고 있다. 무선 RS-232C로 기존 유선의 RS-232C를 대체함으로서, 기존 시스템의 변경없이 편리한 접속기능을 대체한 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 유선 RS-232C를 대체하는 무선 RS-232C 모듈을 채용하여, 전력제어에 사용하는 배전자동화 장치의 관리를 간편하게 하는 시스템의 구현에 대해서 다루고 있다. 배전 자동화시스템은 일종의 SCADA시스템의 일부로서, 통신 프로토콜로서 산업용 DNP3.0을 사용하고 있다. 무선 RS-232C 링크의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위하여, 무선 구간에 DNP3.0을 채택하였으며, 무선 통신방식으로는 무선 RF, 블루투스(Bluetooth), 무선랜(wireless LAN)등 3가지 방식을 채용하여, 설계, 구현내용을 기술하였다.

Due to old Toshiba EMS's database size limit and hardware old aging, KPX(Korea Power Exchange) had introduced New EMS from AREVA(old ALSTOM) in July 2002. After then KPX had committed many man power and time to normalize EMS NA(Network Analysis) functions for using real power system. At initial stage, to normalize State Estimator which is the backbone of all other NA functions and DTS(Dispatcher Training Simulator}, KPX had corrected numerous topology errors, network model errors, non-scanned and wrongly scanned SCADA measured errors. After SE function study, running test and tuning, State Estimator could finally have been run properly and stably from June 2003. Based on SE running, KPX had normalized real time Contingency Analysis, and study mode Power Flow, STNET and DTS. From early 2004, dispatchers have been trained to use NA and DTS for the purpose of stable SE running, NA operation & results reading and urgent equipment outage reviewing. EMS NA have been greatly contributed to operate real time power system stably. Above NA normal operation by KPX own efforts under the no experience of NA running, KPX made a good precedent. This paper is intended to introduce EMS NA normalization process, operation status, and etc in Korea power system operation.
