As an energy network infrastructure, which is capable of integrating energy related services such as AMR/AMI, Smart Grid, and Smart Water Grid, the Smart Utility Network (SUN) enables a paradigm shift from user-oriented networks to device-oriented networks. The SUN has some similarities to sensor networks in application and network requirements. Therefore it is required to investigate and analyze thoroughly existing related work in advance to design new network protocols for SUN. In this paper we analyze service requirements and design considerations for SUN and then present a design guideline of new network protocols for SUN by investigating existing low power protocols, data aggregation methods, and in-network storages.

Integration of multiple communication technologies in a smart grid (SG) enables employing cognitive radio (CR) technology for improving reliability and security with low latency by adaptively and effectively allocating spectral resources. The versatile features of the CR enable the smart meter to select either the unlicensed or the licensed band for transmitting data to the utility company, thus reducing communication outage. Demand response management is regarded as the control unit of the SG that balances the load by regulating the real-time price that benefits both the utility company and consumers. In this study, joint allocation of the transmission power to the smart meter and consumer's demand is formulated as a two stage multi-armed bandit game in which the players select their optimal strategies noncooperatively without having any prior information about the media. Furthermore, based on historical rewards of the player, a real-time pricing adaptation method is proposed. The latter is validated through numerical results.

An islanding occurs when the utility grid is removed but distributed sources continuo to operate and provide power to local loads and grid. This can cause a significant risk to safety and equipment. This report present a novel anti-islanding method to prevent an islanding phenomenon. The proposed method changes the reactive power of the load. Therefore the phase difference between output voltage and current is periodically changed within decided value. When the utility-grid is removed, the frequency of output voltage and current will increase or decrease. And the proposed system will detect the change of frequency and shut down the distributed source. While the conventional methods have some difficulties in detecting particular islanding condition such as a small change in loading, the proposed method can detect most conditions. The performance was verified through experiments.

The phase angle of the utility voltage is used in current control of grid-tied fuel cell power converter. Therefore if the detection of phase angle is a problem, Current control is affected by the distorted phase angle. This paper presents a problem of synchronous reference frame PLL algorithm for single-phase systems and proposes compensated synchronous reference frame PLL algorithm. The proposed method helps power quality improvement of grid-tied fuel cell power converter under distorted utility conditions. Simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

High temperature superconducting(HTS) power cable is expected to be used for power transmission lines supplying electric power for densely populated cities in the near future. Since HTS power cable is capable of the high current density delivery with low power loss, the cable size can be compact comparing with the conventional cable whose capacity is same. In this paper, the authors propose the real time simulation method which puts a teal HTS wire into the simulated 22.9 kV utility grid system using Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS). For the simulation analysis, test sample of HTS wire was actually manufactured. And the transient phenomenon of the HTS wire was analyzed in the simulated utility power grid. This simulation method is the world first trial in order to obtain much better data for installation of HTS power device into utility network.

The grid voltage of commercial utility power source hi Japan and USA is 100rms, but in China and European countries, it is 200rms. In recent years, In Japan 200Vrms out putted single phase three wire system begins to be used for high power applications. In 100Vrms utility AC power applications and systems, an active voltage clamped quasi-resonant Inverter circuit topology using IGBTs has been effectively used so far for the consumer microwave oven. In this paper, presented is a half bridge type voltage-clamped high-frequency Inverter type AC-DC converter using which is designed for consumer magnetron drive used as the consumer microwave oven in 200V utility AC power system. This zero voltage soft switching Inverter can use the same power rated switching semiconductor devices and three-winding high frequency transformer as those of the active voltage clamped quasi-resonant Inverter using the IGBTs that has already been used for 100V utility AC power source. The operating performances of the voltage source single ended push pull type Inverter are evaluated and discussed for consumer microwave oven. The harmonic line current components In the utility AC power side of the AC-DC power converter operating at ZVS­PWM strategy reduced and improved on the basis of sine wave like pulse frequency modulation and sine wave like pulse width modulation for the utility AC voltage source.

Recently, according to developing industry and life style, power consumption have been increased year after year. Currently these much power demand from power consumer is weakening the allowable power reverse margin in summer. As on of the remedies about this problem, the small scale grid-connected photovoltaic system is considered for auxiliary power source. Generally, grid-connected inverter have a isolation transformer for electrical isolation from utility. This paper propose transformerless system topology an inquiry the validity using simulation.

This paper deals with the transient performance of an induction generator in a wind power plant. An induction generator and grid equipment may be damaged when a sudden disturbance occurs, for example, a sudden disconnection from the utility grid. The reasons for this are over-voltage and over speed. This paper analyzes this phenomena using PSCAD/EMTDC and coincides with its corresponding mathematical equation.
