In recent years, it is a worldwide trend that many power utilities focus their attention to employ up-to-date communication technology to the automation of their power plants and distribution systems. Automation Systems in Korea was installed using twisted pair cable(TPC), power line carrier(PLC), coaxial cable(CA), wireless network(wireless data, TRS and PCS). Among the communication media only Satellite Communication guarantees the reliable communication in case of emergency such as a flood, a heavy snow and an earthquake. It can integrate two-way satellite systems to existent nationwide SCADA controlling points of electric power transmission & distribution system that enables real time remote monitoring and controlling automatically. This paper presents some of design efforts for the satellite communication network as the media of Automation Systems.

The load on the power grid of South Korea is expected to grow continuously until the late 2020s, and it is necessary to increase the transfer capacity from the Eastern grid to the Seoul-Gyeonggi region by reinforcing the transmission network for the electric power system to remain stable. To this end, the grid reinforcement by two bipole LCC HVDC transmission systems have been considered on account of the public acceptability and high growth of the fault current level, even though an additional 765kV system construction is more economical. Since the probability of the existing 765kV double circuit transmission line trip is extremely low, a dynamic simulation study was carried out to estimate the efficient HVDC capacity able to stabilize the transient stability by utilizing the HVDC overload capability. This paper suggests the application plan to reduce the HVDC construction capacity with ensuring the transient stability during the 765kV line trip.

This paper presents the evaluation results of Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) system's power wheeling costs based on the postage stamp method. The results of several postage-stamp-based methodologies are compared where some of them are the conventional approaches. others are new approaches suggested in this paper. The approaches developed in this paper are suitable for a system where transmission transactions are occurred within a vertically integrated power system just like as Korea, Japan. etc. Also, they can overcome limitations related on the depreciation costs application. Test results show that the computed wheeling costs are around 4.0 [won/kWh] in 1995, and it is anticipated that the cost will increase when considering transmission network losses and ancillary costs.

DNP 3.0 is the most widely used data communication protocol for electric power control systems. KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Corporation) also uses DNP 3.0 as a data transmission protocol for the DAS(Distribution Automation System) and the SCADA system of the transmmission system. But DNP 3.0 is one of the oldest industrial standard having many restrictions and there are many considerations for optimal design of DNP 3.0 network for the Distribution Automation System.

This paper presents an vulnerability index for hidden failure of protective relays in transmission system. The bad influence can be quantized by an vulnerability index. When there is mis-operation, no-operation or mis-setting, power flow can be quantized by an index. According to the index, relays can be resetting. So the wide area blackout can be prevented.

In northeast Asia, there will be several important HVDC transmission lines to be established in Korea and China for perspective electric network market. 5500V 4-inches High voltage thyristor can be used in the DC transmission and distribution of electric power system. In this application, many thyristors are connected in series for each thyristor valves. Therefore, the required low reverse-recovery charge QRR and low on-state voltage drop $V_{TM}$ for such thyristor is necessary to this application. In our work, the on-state and off-state voltage performance was simulated by commercial simulation software.

Currently, advanced countries invest lots of efforts to develop improvement of electric power production and supply, confronting environmental problems and new energy development. They set up long term plan focusing on electric power transmission infrastructure construction technology, establishment of the customer care service network using electric technologies, improvement of economic productivity by innovative electric technology, prevention of global warming gas and clean and efficient energy use etc. Comparing to those countries, the level of technologies that we have are in behind and moreover, technological resources are limited. Therefore, Korea is required to reconsider efficient distribution of R&D investment by concentrating on limited R&D resources to important technologies which could be stepping stone to gain competitive advantage. It can be done through comparative analysis of electric technologies among advanced countries and analysis of electric technology development policy.

In the electric power industry, it is important that the supply of energy must be guaranteed. Many power utilities control and supervise the transmission line to avoid power failures. In case of underground tunnel, some troubles are reported in cable joint. To stabilize the power, it is needed to monitor the cable joint. Many researches of cable joint monitoring have been going on by partial discharge measurement and temperature measurement using optical cable. These methods need much cost to install and maintain, so it is only used in critical transmission line. In this research, we use wireless sensor technology, because of its low cost and easy installation. We develop the temperature monitoring system for cable joint. Temperature sensor is installed on the surface of cable joint and sends data to server through router node using wireless network. Generally Ad hoc routing is searched in wireless network. However, in this research, we design the static linear routing mechanism, which is suitable for electric power line monitoring and analyze the life time of the sensor node by measuring the amount of the battery consumption.

최근 전력산업에 가장 커다란 이슈는 신재생에너지의 증가이며 이에 따라 전력계통의 수용성을 확보하기 위한 다양한 기술개발이 추진되고 있다. 또한 세계적으로 보다 융통성 있는 친환경 에너지의 활용을 위하여 국가 및 지역간 전력계통을 연계하는 슈퍼그리드의 구성이 추진되고 있다. 이러한 성격이 서로 다른 계통 간에 연계를 위하여 반드시 요구되는 기술이 초고압 직류송전기술이다. 지금까지 국내에서는 육지와 제주도를 해저케이블로 연결하는 HVDC 송전기술이 적용되었으나 동해안의 발전단지에서 수도권의 부하밀집 지역으로 장거리 대용량 전력전송을 위한 직류가공송전 방식의 기술개발이 추진되고 있다. 인구밀도가 높고 산악이 많은 국내 환경을 고려해 최소한의 경과를 활용하여 8 GW 급의 대용량 전력을 전송하기 위해 도체귀로방식의 ${\pm}500kV$ Double Bipole 송전선로 설계기술을 개발하고 이를 적용하기 위한 사업화를 추진하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 세계 최초로 적용 예정인 도체귀로방식의 Double Bipole 송전선로의 설계를 위한 절연특성에 관한 연구를 수행하고 송전선로에 발생하는 다양한 과전압현상에 견디는 공기절연특성을 실증시험을 통하여 검증하고 이를 서술하였다.

본 연구에서는 전력선 통신 기반의 IT와 통신네트워크 기술을 더하여 전력공급자와 소비자가 실시간 계속적으로 전력사용에 대한 정보를 교환함으로써 실시간 사용량과 효율적인 사용 등을 최적화 할 수 있는 차세대 성장동력이다. 전력 수요자는 실시간으로 전력 사용현황 및 불필요한 사용현황을 파악하여 불필요한 사용을 줄이고 적절한 전력분배와 흐름 통제를 조절 할 수 있다. 즉 전기요금이 가장 저렴한 시간대에 전기를 사용하고, 불필요한 사용을 줄임으로써 사용자가 능동적으로 전기를 사용할 수 있게 된다. 본 논문에서는 스마트 그리드의 기술현황과 전력선 통신에 대한 현황을 알아보도록 한다.
