Reliability evaluation of power distribution system is the evaluation for all customers supplied from one power source as main transformer located in substation. However, power sources include not only the main transformer but distributed generations. Typical reliability evaluation has focused on configuration of power system with one source including failure rates of equipment. In this paper, we focus on not only configuration but power sources as distributed generations. New reliability evaluation method using power supplied probability (PSP) is proposed. The proposed evaluation method are proved through case studies.

Preventive diagnostic system for power transformer prevents the sudden power failure through monitoring of abnormal symptoms. KEPCO has adopted the preventive diagnostic system at nine 345kV substations since 1997. Application techniques of the diagnostic sensors were settled, but diagnostic algorithm and practical use of accumulated data are not yet established. To build up the diagnostic algorithm and effective use of the preventive diagnostic system, the reliability of the data accumulated in a server computer is very important. Therefore, this paper describes problem when apply system to substation and solution way to improve reliability of the system

The inundation of substation and ground power equipment breaks out every summer season in low-lying downtown areas and low-lying shores by torrential rain, typhoons and tsunamis. It has, in turn, caused replacement, social and economic costs for blackouts. For activity management regarding flood damage we produced a flood protection system which using the Pad transformer as a basic frame and is developed using pneumatic pressure. We tested safety concerns including insulation resistance and current leakage first for water tank flooding and, second, by an empirical test through supplying 22.9[kV]. We estimate that costs associated with flooding and power failure can be diminished by these advances toward creating a more reliable system.

This paper described the development example of optical CT(Current Transformer) and optical PT (Potential Transformer) which is measurement system of current and voltage of electric power line using Electro-Optic effect and Magneto-Optic effect. We designed the optical CT of 22KV class and 154KV class and an optical PT of 22KV class. And now the filed testing is in progress in a KEPCO's substation.

Noise barriers are widely used to reduce the sound level propagating from highways, railways or factories to residential areas. The reduced noise level at a receiver point is then determined by the diffracted waves around the edge of the barrier as well as by the transmitted waves through the barrier. 1'or proper usage, many studies either theoretical or experimental have been made with the objective of precisely Predicting the acoustic field and improving the noise attenuating properties of barriers. In this study. a simple scattering model. a line acoustic source scattered by an infinite cylinder, is introduced to simply Investigate the sound attenuation efficiency of a sound-resonating barrier. From this model study, it is observed that the sound-resonating harrier can be used as a good sound-shielding element especially for the pure-tone noise generated from the transformer. Large sound-attenuation is achieved by applying the sound-resonating barrier to the large transformers in a substation.

Shunt reactors are used to compensate for capacitive VARs generated by lightly loaded transmission lines or underground cables. They are normally connected to the transformer tertiary winding. Dry-type shunt reactors have the advantage compared with oil-immersed shunt reactor as followings. Lower investment and maintenance cost, No fire hazard and no environmental concerns, Simple insulation to ground, Response to transient overvoltage less severe, Linearity of inductance versus load current, Lower-acoustic noise, Easier transport and handling due to lower weight, No oil-collecting system must be provided since there is no oil that can leak into the ground.

A field-oriented UHF system for on-line PD monitoring of transformers is designed, which has been installed inside the oil tank of transformer in a substation by two ways: on-line installing mode through the oil-valve and pre-installing mode through the man hole/hand hole cover. This system has successfully captured long intermittent discharge signals that hadn't been detected through conventional techniques, and solved the problem successfully. The results demonstrate that UHF technique has great advantages for on-line PD monitoring of transformers. By adopting the peak detection technique, it becomes easy and effective for the transplantation of the phase-resolved pattern recognition technique from conventional method to UHF method, and then to realize continuous on-line monitoring, source characterization and trending analysis.

An acoustic total or partial enclosure is widely used to reduce the sound pressure level propagating from a noise source. However, the performance of the acoustic enclosure is decreased by its inherent limitations such as temperature rise or acoustic pressure build-up inside the enclosed acoustic field. In this reason, an acoustic enclosure consisting of a silencer and absobent panels with acoustic resonators is studied to reduce the transmitted noise from a transformer. Large sound-attenuation is expected by applying the enclosure to the large transformers in a substation.

The fault current has increased due to growth of distributed generations for the large power demand in power distribution system. To solve some problem such as excess of the circuit breaker's cut-off ratings, the superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) has been progressed. However, the operational characteristics of the relay is changed by SFCL. Therefore, the proper impedance for the SFCL should be selected to keep protective coordination with the SFCL when SFCL is introduced on the neutral line of main transformer in distribution system. In this paper, the proper normal conducting resistance was suggested to solve the problem in case of the protection coordination with SFCL.
