최근 전력계통의 과부하, 전압안정도 등의 문제에 대한 해결책으로 FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems)가 대두되고 있다. FACTS 설비에는 TCSC (Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor), SSSC (Static Synchronous Series Capacitor)와 같은 직렬 기기와 SVC(Static Var Compensator), STATCOM(STATic COMpensator) 와 같은 병렬기기 그리고, 본 논문에서 다루는 UPFC와 같은 직 병렬기기로 나누어진다. UPFC는 SSSC와 STATCOM을 결합한 형태로 유 무효전력을 동시에 보상할 수 있는 FACTS 기기이다. 본 논문에서는 한전 계통의 전압안정도 향상과 과부하 해소를 위해 강진S/S에 설치예정인 80MVA UPFC의 하드웨어 특성과 주변계통의 특성을 소개하고, UPFC와 한전 계통의 연계방안과 시험방안을 설명한다.

Distributed Flexible AC Transmission System(D-FACTS) was proposed as a solution for weakness of FACTS device s. The D-FACTS device DSSC(Distributed Static Series Co mpensator) can provide controllable reactance compensation in transmission line such as SSSC(Static Synchronous Series Compensator). This paper introduce the algorithm of reactive power injection on DSSC and propose the method of current balancing by reactive power injection. The proposed algorithm has been verified with simulation and experiment results.

This paper proposes a new reactive-power compensator composed of a thyristor current-source inverter. The compensator consists of a 6-pulse thyristor bridge, dc reactor, and a commutation circuit. The commutation circuit offers the thyristor bridge to have PWM operation with minimal switching losses. The operation of proposed system was analyzed by computer simulations with EMTP and experimental works with hardware scaled-model. The proposed system would have low cost and easy expansion of operation voltage due to using the conventional thyristors.

This paper describes the development of KEPCO's 80MVA UPFC electromagnetic transient model and the analysis of its performance in the actual Korean power system. KEPCO's 80MVA UPFC is currently undergoing installation and will be ready for commercial operation from the year 2003. In order to apply a new FACTS device such as the UPFC to the actual power system, the utility needs, in advance, both load flow stability studies and transient studies. Therefore, KEPRI, the research institute of KEPCO, developed a detailed transient analysis model that is based on the actual UPFC S/W algorithm and H/W specifications. This simulation model is implemented by an EMTDC/PSCAD package. The results of the simulation show the effectiveness of UPFC operation in the KEPCO power system.

KEPCO 80MVA UPFC has been operated in Gangjin Substation since May 2003. This UPFC is composed of 40MVA shunt inverter and 40MVA series inverter, and developed in technical cooperation between Hyosung and Siemens. KEPCO has tried to localize UPFC control technique after its installation and developed GTO Thyristor Valve Test Equipment for annual maintenance test. The development of this equipment make it possible to process GTO Thyristor module test automatically and manage historic data systematically, which could improve UPFC reliability.

Social welfare maximization in a double-sided auction market is performed by implementing an aggregation-based particle swarm optimization (CAPSO) algorithm for optimal placement and sizing of one Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) device. Dallied simulation results (without/with line flow constraints and without/with SSSC) are generated to demonstrate the impact of SSSC on the congestion levels of the modified IEEE 14-bus test system. The proposed CAPSO algorithm employs conventional quadratic smooth and augmented quadratic nonsmooth generator cost curves with sine components to improve the accurate of the model by incorporating the valve loading effects. CAPSO also employs quadratic smooth consumer benefit functions. The proposed approach relies on particle swarm optimization to capture the near-optimal GenCos and DisCos, as well as the location and rating of SSSC while the Newton based load flow solution minimizes the mismatch equations. Simulation results of the proposed CAPSO algorithm are compared to solutions obtained by sequential quadratic programming (SQP) and a recently implemented Fuzzy based genetic algorithm (Fuzzy-GA). The main contributions are inclusion of customer benefit in the congestion management objective function, consideration of nonsmooth generator characteristics and the utilization of a coordinated aggregation-based PSO for locating/sizing of SSSC.

Two control techniques - PI and LQR(Linear Quadratic Regulator) - of DSTATCOM (Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator) for line voltage regulation in distribution system are presented. It is shown that the voltage waveform is improved if the proposed methods are applied in IEEE 13 radial distribution system using PSCAD/EMTDC package in case of single line-to-ground fault. The three cases - without control, with PI control and with LQR control - are compared. The LQR control is shown to be best in respect of response profile and control effort required among them.

This paper proposes a SSSC based on 3-level half-bridge inverters. The dynamic characteristic of the proposed SSSC was analyzed by EMTP simulation and a scaled hardware model, assuming that the SSSC is inserted in the transmission line of the one-machine-infinite-but power system. The proposed SSC has six 3-level half-bridge inverters per phase, which operates in PWM mode. The proposed SSSC generates a quasi-sinusoidal output voltage by 90 degree phase shift to the line current. The proposed SSSC does not require the coupling transformer for voltage injection, and has a flexibility in operation voltage by increasing the number of series connection.
