This paper presents a novel framework for analysis of power system wide-area blackout based on so called fault cascading scenarios. For a given power system operating state, "triggering" faults or a "seed faults" are chosen based on the probabilities estimated from the hazard rates. The fault probabilities reflect both the load and the weather conditions. Effects of hidden failures in protection systems are also reflected in establishing the fault propagation scenarios since they are one of the major causes for the wide-area blackouts. A tree type data structure called a PS-BEST(Power System Blackout Event Scenario Tree) is proposed for construction of the fault cascading scenarios, in which nodes represent various power system operating states and the arcs are the events causing transitions between the states. Arcs can be either probabilistic or deterministic. For a given initial fault, the total probability of leading to wide-area blackout is estimated by aggregating the individual probability of each fault sequence route leading to wide-area blackout. A case study is performed on the IEEE RTS-79(24 bus) system based on the fault data presented by the North American Electrical Reliability Council(NERC). Test results demonstrate the potentials and the effectiveness of the proposed technique for the future wide-area blackout analysis.

Since the crisis at the Fukushima plants, severe accident progression during a station blackout accident in nuclear power plants is recognized as a very important area for accident management and emergency planning. The purpose of this study is to investigate the comparative characteristics of anticipated severe accident progression among the three typical types of nuclear reactors. A station blackout scenario, where all off-site power is lost and the diesel generators fail, is simulated as an initiating event of a severe accident sequence. In this study a comparative analysis was performed for typical pressurized water reactor (PWR), boiling water reactor (BWR), and pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR). The study includes the summarization of design differences that would impact severe accident progressions, thermal hydraulic/severe accident phenomenological analysis during a station blackout initiated-severe accident; and an investigation of the core damage process, both within the reactor vessel before it fails and in the containment afterwards, and the resultant impact on the containment.

The parameters of electromechanical modes offer considerable insight into the dynamic stability properties of a power system. This paper presents a results of a LFO(low-frequency oscillation) based on the time-synchronized signals measured by synchrophasor in the rolling blackout. Spectral analysis was performed, and critical parameters were estimated using the data acquired from synchrophasors installed in the KEPCO system. As significant modes, a 0.68 Hz oscillation mode that occurred prior to the forced load shedding in the rolling blackout was estimated. Such an oscillation mode can cause an uncontrollable blackout. Therefore, the system should be operated so that significant oscillation modes are not activated. This results can serve as a reference in the future for reliable system operation in the event of a similar blackout.

South Korea is recently under serious situation in supplying electricity with enough power reserve. A single fault of power plant at a peak-load time may lead to a total blackout for whole area connected by a single electric grid and isolated from other grids. Despite of the seriousness of blackout, however, there are scarce studies with ex-ante analysis of the economic costs from blackout. In order to evocate the seriousness, we calculate the economic costs for both industrial and household sectors with using some survey data and statistical methodologies. As a result, total economic costs are 39.23 trillion KRW (35.83 trillion KRW for industrial sector, 3.40 trillion KRW for household sector).

An application of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), which is one of adjustable speed generators, to a gas engine cogeneration system has been investigated. To operate during a blackout as an emergency power supply is one of important roles for the gas engine cogeneration system. However, the DFIG requires initial excitation for startup during a blackout because the DFIG has no excitation source. In this paper, we propose the "blackout start" as a new excitation method to generate a rated voltage at the primary side during a blackout. In addition, a stand-alone operation following a blackout has been investigated by using experimental setup with a real gas engine. Power flows in the generating set with the DFIG at the stand-alone operation have been investigated experimentally. Experimental investigation of the power flow suggests that the generating set with DFIG has optimal speed in minimizing whole system losses.

Electric Power cable is the apparatus that receives electric power from the Korea Electric Power Corporation and supplies electric power to electric train and annex facilities of each railway station. With substantial ripple effect during power blackout accidents, such power blackout accidents must be coped with by discriminating the status of insulation deterioration of electric power cable in advance. Discrimination of insulation deterioration of the electric power cable is normally executed while the power is disconnected and it is very difficult to discover, at early stage, the insulation deterioration of the power cable in operational state since the duration of inspection is limited. This research aims to consider method of diagnosing the insulation deterioration of electric power cable in On-Line state rather than diagnosis in Off-Line state in order to secure reliability of power supply by reducing duration of power blackout (accidental blackout and blackout during works) and by seeking reduction in equipment and manpower used in diagnosis of deterioration through prevention of the accident itself prior to occurrence through early restoration of accident due to insulation deterioration of the electric power cable and assessment of performance of the cable under operation.

게임은 일정한 크기의 체스판 모양의 사각판 위에서 일정한 규칙으로 칸의 색깔을 바꾸어 가면서 모든 칸의 색을 통일하는 것을 목표로 하는 게임이다. 이 게임의 규칙은 단순하지만 그 안에는 다양한 수학적 모델링이 포함되어 있다. 본 연구는 흑백게임을 소재로 S대학부설 과학영재교육원의 R&E 프로그램을 진행하면서 중학교 수학영재학생들이 수학적 모델링을 만들어보고 탐구해가는 소재를 개발하였다. 그 결과 이 게임을 수학영재교육용 수업이나 수학영재들의 연구 소재로 활용할 수 있는 4가지 수학적 모델링(패턴 분석, 대응 관계, 동치류 분석, 선형대수학적 분석)이 가능함을 확인하고 더불어 교사들이 유용하게 활용할 수 있도록 각각의 모델링 유형별로 몇 가지 발문도 제안한다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze effect of climate and urban factors on energy resilience, and to explore policy alternatives to strengthen resilience of energy system. For this purpose, this study used extensive literature review on resilience studies and multiple regression analysis. In this study, blackout time was set as a dependent variable. And the independent variables were divided into climate and urban (robustness, countermeasure capacity) characteristics. As a result of the analysis, in terms of climate characteristics, maximum wind speed and cooling/heating degree-day have statistically significant impact on blackout time. With regard to urban characteristics, number of consumer, ratio of deteriorated housing and coast dummy variables have statistically significant impact on blackout time. And the ratio of government employees and road ratio were found to be the most influencing factors to shorten time taken to restore original level of electricity supply. Based on the study results, several policy suggestions to improve energy resilience were made such as continuous management of vulnerable areas and strengthening disaster response services. This study only considered engineering dimension of resilience. Further studies need to be approached on ecological & social-ecological dimension.

표고버섯 원목재배시 고온피해를 경감시키기 위하여 임가실증지 5개소를 선정하였고, 기존 1중(비닐+차광)재배사의 내부 지붕에 2중으로 차광망을 추가 설치(개선형)하였다. 기존 재배사와 개선형 재배사 형태에 따른 내부 온습도, 균사 만연도 및 버섯 생산성을 조사하였다. 조사결과 시설 내부 최고온도는 개선형 재배사가 기존 1중 재배사 보다 평균 약 $3{\sim}5^{\circ}C$정도 낮았으나, 평균습도는 그와 달리 기존 1중 재배사와 개선형 재배사간에 큰 차이는 없었다. 특히 기존형과 개선형 재배사 모두 임내 재배장보다 평균습도가 10% 정도 낮아 건조한 불량환경이 유지되어 버섯 품질과 생산성 향상을 위해서는 지속적인 수분관리가 중요함을 알 수 있었다. 버섯목 표면, 내부의 균사 만연도를 비교한 결과 개선형 재배사가 가장 우수하였고, 임내재배사, 기존 1중 재배사가 순으로 저조하였다. 버섯 생산성을 비교한 결과 기존 1중 재배사에 비하여 117~204% 증수 효과가 있었으며, 재배사 동고 높이가 낮을수록 개선효과는 극대화 되었다. 따라서 시험결과를 토대로 고온피해 경감을 위한 원목재배사 모델 5종을 제시하였다.
