Korean government has been implementing a smart grid testbed in Jeju Island for the low-carbon green growth. As smart grids are in the early stage of their diffusion, strategic guidelines and related measures are needed to spread them successfully. In general, the successful diffusion of new technologies or new products are mostly determined in its early stages. With the introduction of smart grids, the electricity market paradigm will be transformed into user-oriented from provider-oriented. Thus, a study on the diffusion of smart grids from the perspective of users is necessary. This paper examines factors affecting the adoption and diffusion of smart grids from users' perspectives and provide strategic guidelines for diffusing the smart grid. Researchers conducted in-depth interviews with 41 people who have been already using smart grids in the Jeju testbed. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The interviews were recorded on a digital voice recorder memory and subsequently transcribed verbatim. A total of 133 pages of transcripts were obtained from about 10 hours interviews. 97 concepts, 47 sub-categories and 19 categories were identified through open coding of grounded theory. We suggested a paradigm model for diffusing smart grids and total of seven propositions as strategic guidelines.

전기자동차 보급이 확대됨과 동시에 충전이 특정 시간대에 몰리거나 전력수요가 높은 시간대에 늘어나면 전력수급 균형이 불안해질 수 있다. 따라서 전기자동차 충전으로 인한 전력수요가 증가함과 동시에, 전기자동차의 전력수요를 분산시키고, 전기자동차 배터리의 여분의 전기를 활용할 수 있는 스마트그리드 구축이 중요해진다. 아직 국내에서 스마트그리드가 전기자동차의 전력망 영향 관리에 어느 정도 영향을 미치는지에 대해서는 정량적 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 스마트그리드를 통한 전기자동차의 전력망 영향 관리 효과를 정량적으로 분석하고 정책적 시사점을 제시하였다. 결과적으로 스마트그리드는 전기자동차의 전력망 영향을 효과적으로 관리할 수 있었다. 전력시장 구조와 규제 프레임워크는 스마트그리드 기술의 실증과 상용화 촉진을 뒷받침할 수 있어야 할 것이다.

As the demand for electric power increases rapidly and the amount of fossil fuels decreases year by year, making use of renewable resources seem very necessary. However, due to the discontinuous nature of renewable resources and the hierarchical topology of existing grids, power quality and grid stability will deteriorate as more and more distributed generations (DGs) are connected to the grids. It is a good idea to combine local utilization, local consumption, energy storage and DGs to form a grid-friendly micro grid, these micro grids can then assembled into an intelligent power system - the smart Grid. It can optimize power flow and integrate power generation and consumption effectively. Most importantly, the power quality and grid stability can be improved greatly. This paper depicts how the smart grid addresses the current issues of a power system. It also figures out the key technologies and expectations of the smart grid.

In the face of global warming and resource depletion, a smart grid has been suggested as one way of contributing to abating the environment problems and increasing energy efficiency. Smart grids utilize renewable energy which has intermittent and irregular output power depending on weather conditions. In order to maintain stability and reliability of the power system, smart grids need to have complementary measures for the possible unstable system conditions. Cogenerating systems such as Combined Heat and Power(CHP) can be one good solution as it has capability of instantly increasing or decreasing output power. Therefore, this paper investigates the connectivity between Combined Heat and Power systems and smart grid technologies. The smart grid national roadmap formulated by South Korea Ministry of Knowledge and Economy and 'IEC Smart Grid Standardization Roadmap' are analyzed to extract related components of the smart grid for the CHP connection. Also, case studies on demonstration projects for smart grids with CHP systems completed or currently being implementing in the world are presented.

The electric power industry have recently been building out Smart Grids, a two-way electricity grid that connects power consumers and producers to a network that enables one to respond quickly to any eventuality. The construction of a two-way electricity grid means that the power control process becomes unified, from what used to be separate processes that originate individually from the consumption phase and the production and supply phases. The role of power control that takes place within each section of the power system may be independent. However, this does not mean the independent control sections are operated individually, but are configured to meet a single target and purpose. Each control section possesses enough degree of independency to respond to eventualities that may occur within different stages of the power system, but at the same time, possesses unified system elements for the stability of the entire power system. From this perspective, Smart Grids are widely regarded as the most rational power industry operation plan. A variety of different control and communication systems can be applied for an effective deployment of Smart Grids. Recently, we have seen systems such as PMS(Power Management System) and PAS(Process Automation System) applied in the deployment of Smart Grids, which are developed from the techniques utilized in the industry. The PMS is attracting particular attention for its power operations management ability. In this study, we propose plans for improvement in the rational development of power system controls through case studies of live PMS operations.

지능형 전력망은 전력기술에 정보통신 기술을 접목하여 친환경, 고효율, 고신뢰의 지능화된 차세대 전력시스템이다. 이는 종래의 전력 네트워크와는 달리 수용가 및 전력 생산자와 전력망 운영 주체 사이의 양방향 정보 교환을 통해 보다 안정적이고 효율적으로 전력을 공급하도록 한다. 또한 재생 에너지원을 전력계통 운영에 포함시킴으로써 환경문제에도 도움을 준다. 하지만 지능형 전력망은 양방향 서비스, 중 소규모 에너지원의 증가, 다량의 센서 및 제어기기의 설치 등으로 많은 사이버 보안 위협을 지닌다. 이러한 사이버 위협은 한 번의 실수로 큰 피해를 입게 되는 국가전력망에 있어서 치명적인 문제가 된다. 따라서 이러한 사이버 보안 위협을 해소하기 위해 지능형 전력망의 사이버보안 전략을 수립하고, 이를 개발 단계에서부터 실제 도입단계에 이르는 전 과정에서 적용해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 지능형 전력망의 사이버 보안 위협을 분석하고 이를 해소할 수 있는 지능형 전력망에 필요한 사이버 보안전략을 제안한다. 사이버 보안전략을 지능형 전력망에 적용함으로써 안전하고 신뢰성 있는 지능형 전력망 구축의 초석이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Since Korea has high accident rate for the electrical shock than other advanced countries, it causes very serious problems. In this paper, a new classification method for analyzing electricity accidents is proposed, which is based on the microscopic view while existing methods have been based at the macroscopic view point. Electrical accidents cases can be mainly divided by three cases, which are from live works, incompleteness of the grounding system and imperfectness of the safety education and public relations. New data format of electrical shocks are proposed in the environment of smart grids.

Sharing power data between electrical power grids is crucial in energy management. The multi-agent approach has been applied in various applications to improve the development of complex systems by making them both independent and collaborative. The smart grid is one of the most intricate systems that requires a higher level of independence, reliability, protection, and adaptability to user requests. In this paper, a multi-agent system is utilized to share knowledge and tackle challenges in smart grids. The shared information is used to make decisions that aid in power distribution management within the grid and with other networks. The proposed multi-agent mechanism improves the reliability of the power system by providing the necessary information at critical times. The results indicate that the multi-agent system operates efficiently and promptly, making it a highly promising candidate for smart grid management.
