Power system technologies in the area of smart grid are being converged with communication system technologies or information technologies(IT). This interdisciplinary action affects on two parts vigorously so that IT has become a essential part of power industry. But terminologies of two parts are confused and it is necessary that these are standardized to develop the industry. The writing system of the Open Korean Knowledge Dictionary for standardization of smart grid terminologies which are IEC TC 57 glossary and non-glossary is proposed. The writing system includes the process of collection, writing guideline and standardization of terminologies. Writing results of 90,000 terminologies for electricity, communication and computer fields including smart grid terminologies, which are registered in the Open Korean Knowledge Dictionary, are shown. The system provides the capability of collection and delivery of academic society opinions for the selected and interpreted terminologies through the internet for standardization and industry propagation of smart grid terminologies.

Beat is a phenomenon, where the magnitudes and frequencies of the voltage and the current fluctuate. This paper describes a quantitative analysis of the beat phenomenon of a wind farm using the envelope of a current during intertie/grid fault conditions. In this paper, the ratio of the crest to the trough of the envelope curve and the time interval between adjacent troughs are defined and used to evaluate the beat phenomenon quantitatively. Beat phenomena under various fault and wind conditions are analyzed. The proposed quantitative analysis seems simple but effective in the more understanding of beat phenomenon of a wind farm, and thus can be used as a basis for operation and/or protection of an intertie.

With the development of smart grid technology, it has become a hotspot to increase benefits of both residential users and electric power companies through demand response technology and interactive technology. In this paper, the game theory is introduced to the interaction between residential users and an electric company, making a mutually beneficial situation for the two. This paper solves the problem of electricity pricing and load shifting in the interactive behavior by building the game-theoretic process, proposing the interaction strategy and doing the optimization. In the simulation results, the residential users decrease their cost by 11% mainly through shifting the thermal loads and the electric company improves its benefits by 5.6% though electricity pricing. Simulation analysis verifies the validity of the proposed method and shows great revenue for the economy of both sides.

As the power grid has been changed to a smart grid, existing power technologies are evolving into convergence technology through interdisciplinary research. According to the government policy to increase the proportion of renewable energy to 20% by 2030, the speed seems to be accelerating. This study analyzes the relationship between research technologies in order to grasp research trends of smart grid technology. To this end, we analyze the relationship between keywords extracted from topic modeling using social network analysis methodology. This is because, in the field where interdisciplinary research such as smart grid is active, each research topic is not independent, but research technologies emerging in one topic coexist in different topics, and linkage between research technologies can be important information. Therefore, this study can contribute to the analysis of research trend as it can be used as a package tool together with a topic modeling methodology.

Recently, in the field of Smart Grid, Smart Home Network, Ubiquitous Computing, etc. we have continued to study Smart Information Monitoring Technology(SIMT) which exchange, control and monitor information collected and processed by need in real-time and two-way. In this paper, we understand application products or recent trends of SIMT for Energy, U-Farm, Vehicle Information and Home Network. Specially, we explain Google PowerMeter which exchange information with Smart Meter of core part of the smart grid at real-time, Real-time Monitoring System(RMS) for U-Farm, RMS for vehicle status Information. we subscribe Smart Information Monitoring Technology application based on ZigBee of low price, low power or related work. Finally we subscribe actual proof construction situation of Jesu for smart grid.

With the recent advances in smart grid technologies and the increasing dissemination of smart meters, the power usage of each time unit can be detected in modern smart building environments. Thus, the utility company can adopt different price of electricity at each time slot considering the peak time. Korea government also announces the smart-grid roadmap that includes a law for realtime price of electricity. In this paper, we propose an efficient power scheduling scheme for smart buildings that adopt smart meters and real-time pricing of electricity. Our scheme dynamically changes the power mode of each consumer device according to the change of power rates. Specifically, we analyze the electricity demands and prices at each time, and then perform real-time power scheduling of consumer devices based on collaboration of each device. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces the electricity charge of a smart building by up to 36.4%.

The smart grid with distributed power supply introduces a number of problems including not only the problems of the existing power grid but also the problem of protection co-operation due to new electric phenomenon because it has a mixed operation structure combining the existing radial operation structure and the new loop operation structure. The EMTP based power system analysis method has flexibility and convenience from the view of system configuration but it requires another experimental verification because of uncertainty of design and analysis results. On the other hand, the real demonstration system has difficulties in observing accurate fault on large scale system due to considerable economical and spatial construction cost, system configuration constraint, and it is difficult to demonstrate the distributed, autonomous and adaptive control strategy of smart grid. In this paper, a basic theory for a micro smart grid simulator design using MEMS(Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) miniaturization technology is studied which can safely and freely experiment and observe electrical phenomena, and distribution, autonomous adaptive control strategy for disturbances on 22.9kV smart grid under minimum economic and spatial cost.

Smart grid, which is a sort of convergence of numerous technologies, can be deployed only with cooperation and fair competition among various stakeholders. If the interest conflicts were not coordinated properly, related business and investment would become delayed and inactive. Therefore, this study analyzes the causes of interest conflicts and related issues in smart grid sector and suggests policy directions by issue. As the result of AHP analysis, the majority of respondents surveyed said that ambiguity of the role and authority is the key problem causing conflicts of interest in smart grid deployment process. Differences in values, communications problems, etc. are pointed as additional main reasons of the interest conflicts. To resolve interest conflicts in smart grids, the Korean government should enhance its leadership in the coordination of stakeholders' interests. Government should make efforts to coordinate the various interests in terms of the development of the smart grid market and win stakeholders' sympathy of their desirable roles in the smart grid market.

The power loss of the controllable switches in modular multilevel converter (MMC) HVDC transmission systems is an important factor, which can determine the design of the operating junction temperatures. Due to the dc current component, the approximate calculation tool provided by the manufacturer of the switches cannot be used for the losses of the switches in the MMC. Based on the enabled probabilities of each SM in an arm, the current analytical models of the switches can be determined. The average and RMS currents can be obtained from the corresponding current analytical model. Then, the conduction losses can be calculated, and the switching losses of the switches can be estimated according to the upper limit of the switching frequency. Finally, the thermal resistance model of the switches can be utilized, and the junction temperatures can be estimated. A comparison between the calculation and PSCAD simulation results shows that the proposed method is effective for estimating the junction temperatures of the switches in the MMC.
