A partition of water distribution network (WDN) into district metered areas (DMAs) brings the efficiency and efficacy for water network operation and management (O&M), especially in monitoring pressure and leakage. Traditionally, the DMA configurations (i.e., number, shape, and size of DMAs) are permanent and cannot be changed occasionally. This leads to changes in water quality and reduced network redundancy lowering network resilience against abnormal conditions such as water demand variability and mechanical failures. This study proposes a framework to automatically divide a WDN into dynamic DMA configurations, in which the DMA layouts can self-adapt in response to abnormal scenarios. To that aim, a complex graph theory is adopted to sectorize a WDN into multiscale DMA layouts. Then, different failure-based scenarios are investigated on the existing DMA layouts. Here, an optimization-based model is proposed to convert existing DMA layouts into dynamic layouts by considering existing valves and possibly placing new valves. The objective is to minimize the alteration of flow paths (i.e., flow direction and velocity in the pipes) while preserving the hydraulic performance of the network. The proposed method is tested on a real complex WDN for demonstration and validation of the approach.

Before expanding of distribution automation application to distribution network, we must examine whether there are economical effect. Investment expense for distribution automation can be divided into facility investment expense, maintenance expense, communication expense, investment expense etc. Effect of distribution automation can classify by effect that can convert into money and effect that can not convert into money. Representative effect is outage time decrease effect, distribution line loss decrease effect, main transformer upload effect, distribution line upload effect, work environment improvement effect of lineman and so on. This paper studied economical effect and break-even Point for investment expense by using data that acquire in KEPCO's distribution network.

We overview the current distribution automation system in Korea and point out the limitations of the distribution services which can be provided by the current system. In this paper we propose a new distribution system architecture which is based on the peer-to-peer communication model. In this decentralized architecture the intelligent FRTUS can initiate data transmission without any interruption of a central server, and can exchange data with other FRTUS as peers. In order to support the peer-based distribution system, we specify the requirements for new communication network and suggest a way of improving the current distribution network where we adapt an intelligent module for protection and restoration, called MASX, and utilize the open communication network protocols. We also show how the new architecture can enhance major distribution services such as protection, automatic restoration, and equipment management.

배전선로계통의 효율적인 관리와 운영을 위해서 배전지능화시스템은 필수적이다. 배전지능화시스템은 IT를 기반으로 배전망을 통합관리하는 시스템으로 전력산업의 발전과 더불어 진화해 오고 있다. 현재의 배전지능화시스템은 주장치 단위의 독립운전을 기준으로 상대적으로 낮은 네트워크 전송속도로 운영되도록 설계되어있다. 하지만 최근 급속히 보급이 증가하고 있는 태양광이나 에너지 저장장치와 같은 분산자원으로 인하여 미래 배전환경의 운영은 보다 복잡해 지고 있으며 다양한 정보의 실시간 수집이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 배전지능화의 한계를 극복하기 위해 차세대 배전지능화 시스템의 요구사항을 도출하였으며, 이를 기반으로 배전계통에 필요한 통신네트워크 체계와 성능요건을 정의하였다. 배전지능화시스템과 같은 대규모 시스템의 현장 도입에는 과도한 시간과 비용이 소요되므로 설계된 시스템의 성능 검증을 위하여 소프트웨어 기반의 단말장치 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다. 시뮬레이터를 활용하여 실제 운영과 유사한 시험환경을 구축하고, 단말장치를 1,000대 까지 증가시켰을 때 제시된 시스템의 네트워크 점유는 최대 10% 이하로 차세대 배전지능화시스템의 기능을 지원하기 위한 네트워크 요구사항을 충족함을 보였다.

신재생에너지원의 확대 보급 정책과 신재생에너지 공급 의무화 제도(RPS)의 도입으로 배전계통에 연계되는 분산전원이 증가되고 있다. 분산전원이 연계된 배전계통에서는 고장전류의 크기와 방향이 변화하게 되며, 이러한 고장전류의 변화는 기존 보호협조 체계에 대한 재검토를 요구한다. 전력연구원에서는 이러한 고장전류의 변화를 고려할 수 있는 보호협조 정정 알고리즘을 탑재한 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 분산전원 연계 전, 후의 고장전류 변화를 분석하고, 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 이용하여 샘플 계통에 대한 보호협조 정정을 수행하였으며, 분산전원이 배전계통의 보호협조에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하고 그 대책에 대하여 논하고자 한다.

In this study, Ant Colony Algorithm(ACO) was used for optimal model. ACO which are metaheuristic algorithm for combinatorial optimization problem are inspired by the fact that ants are able to find the shortest route between their nest and food source. For applying the model to water distribution systems, pipes, tanks(reservoirs), pump construction and pump operation cost were considered as object function and pressure at each node and reservoir level were considered as constraints. Modified model from Ostfeld and Tubaltzev(2008) was verified by applying 2-Looped, Hanoi and Ostfeld's networks. And sensitivity analysis about ant number, number of ants in a best group and pheromone decrease rate was accomplished. After the verification, it was applied to real water network from S water treatment plant. As a result of the analysis, in the Two-looped network, the best design cost was found to $419,000 and in the Hanoi network, the best design cost was calculated to $6,164,384, and in the Ostfeld's network, the best design cost was found to $3,525,096. These are almost equal or better result compared with previous researches. Last, the cost of optimal design for real network, was found for 66 billion dollar that is 8.8 % lower than before. In addition, optimal diameter for aged pipes was found in this study and the 5 of 8 aged pipes were changed the diameter. Through this result, pipe construction cost reduction was found to 11 percent lower than before. And to conclusion, The least cost design model on water distribution system was developed and verified successfully in this study and it will be very useful not only optimal pipe change plan but optimization plan for whole water distribution system.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop intelligent vehicle parking distribution system based on LoRa network at the circumstance of traffic congestion during cultural festival in a local city. This paper proposes a parking dispatch and distribution system using a Q-learning algorithm to rapidly disperse traffics that increases suddenly because of in-bound traffics from the outside of a city in the real-time base as well as to increase parking probability in a parking lot which is widely located in a city. Design/methodology/approach The system get information on realtime-base from the sensor network of IoT (LoRa network). It will contribute to solve the sudden increase in traffic and parking bottlenecks during local cultural festival. We applied the simulation system with Queuing model to the Yudeung Festival in Jinju, Korea. We proposed a Q-learning algorithm that could change the learning policy by setting the acceptability value of each parking lot as a threshold from the Jinju highway IC (Interchange) to the 7 parking lots. LoRa Network platform supports to browse parking resource information to each vehicle in realtime. The system updates Q-table periodically using Q-learning algorithm as soon as get information from parking lots. The Queuing Theory with Poisson arrival distribution is used to get probability distribution function. The Dijkstra algorithm is used to find the shortest distance. Findings This paper suggest a simulation test to verify the efficiency of Q-learning algorithm at the circumstance of high traffic jam in a city during local festival. As a result of the simulation, the proposed algorithm performed well even when each parking lot was somewhat saturated. When an intelligent learning system such as an O-learning algorithm is applied, it is possible to more effectively distribute the vehicle to a lot with a high parking probability when the vehicle inflow from the outside rapidly increases at a specific time, such as a local city cultural festival.

The islanding protection for distributed resources (DR) becomes an important and emerging issue in power system protection since the distributed generator installations are rapidly increasing and most of the installed systems are interconnected with distribution network. In order to avoid the negative impacts on distributed network resulting from islanding operations of DR, it is necessary to detect the loss of mains (LOM) effectively. This paper presents a new LOM detection method using the rate of change in total harmonic distortion (THD) of current. The proposed method effectively detects LOM of the DR unit operating in parallel with the distribution network. We also verified the efficiency of the proposed method using the radial distribution network of IEEE 34 bus model.
