During faults, the voltage and current signals available to the relay are affected by the decaying dc component and harmonics. In order to make appropriate and accurate decisions, most of the relaying algorithms require the fundamental frequency phasor information that is immune to decaying dc effect and harmonics. The conventional Fourier ph as or estimation algorithm is affected by the presence of decaying-exponential transients in the fault signal. This paper presents a modified Fourier algorithm, which effectively eliminates the decaying dc component and the harmonics present in the fault signal. The decaying dc parameters are estimated by means of an out-of-band filtering technique. The decaying dc offset and harmonics are removed by means of a simple computational procedure that involves the design of two sets of Orthogonal digital OFT filters tuned at different frequencies and by creating three off-line look-up tables. The technique was tested for different decay rates of the decaying dc component. It was also compared with the conventional mimic plus the full cycle OFT algorithm. The results indicate that the proposed technique has a faster convergence to the desired value compared to the conventional mimic plus OFT algorithms over a wide range of decay rates. In all cases, the convergence to the desired value was achieved within one cycle of the power system frequency.

Micro reactors are increasingly being considered for utilization as distributed power sources. Hence, the probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) of a direct supercritical-CO₂-cooled fast reactor, called micro modular reactor (MMR), was performed in this study; this reactor was developed using innovative design concepts. It adopted a modular design and passive safety systems to minimize site constraints. As the MMR is in its conceptual design phase, design weaknesses and valuable safety insights could be identified during PSA. Level 1 internal event PSA was carried out involving literature survey, system characterization, identification of initiating events, transient analyses, development of event trees and fault trees, and quantification. The initiating events and scenarios significantly contributing to core damage frequency (CDF) were determined to identify design weaknesses in MMR. The most significant initiating event category contributing to CDF was the transients with the power conversion system initially available category, owing to its relatively high occurrence frequency. Further, an importance analysis revealed that the safety of MMR can be significantly improved by improving the reliability of reactor trip and passive decay heat removal system operation. The findings presented in this paper are expected to contribute toward future applications of PSA for assessing unconventional nuclear reactors in their conceptual design phases.

This paper presents the new technique of modeling using Dynamic Link Library(DLL) in ElectroMagnetic Transients Program - Restructured Version(EMTP-RV) in which we have simplified the procedures of OverCurrent Relay(OCR) modeling. The DLL function is designed to allow EMTP-RV users to develop advanced program model modules and interface them directly and intimately with the EMTP-RV engine. The modeled OCR is verified by simulating the various fault cases in the distribution system. Also, the performance for the modeling of OCR using DLL is compared with that of the method using the control components of EMTP-RV and using EMTP/MODELS. The results show the validity of modeled OCR and the effectiveness of the method using DLL function.

현대 사회에서의 배전은 단순히 전력 공급에서 그치는 것이 아니라, 우수한 전력 품질을 지닌 전기를 공급해 주는 것에 큰 의미를 두고 있다. 배전 선로에서 고장이 발생할 경우 서로 유기적인 연관성 및 부하의 밀집도가 큰 배전계통의 특성상 전력품질저하 및 고장파급효과가 매우 크다. 전력품질은 일정한 주파수 및 전류, 전압 등을 기반으로 하며 고장에 의해 이러한 요소들이 영향을 받아 전력품질 저하의 원인이 된다. 따라서 배전계통에서의 고장에 의한 영향을 자세히 분석하기 위해 EMTP(ElectroMagnetic Transients Program)를 이용하여 고장을 모의하고 결과를 분석하였다. 다양한 유형의 조건을 모의하기 위해 계통의 여러 위치에서 1선지락 고장을 모의하였고, 각 고장 지점에 따라 다양한 위치에서 전압과 전류를 측정하여 고장의 파급효과를 측정하여 고장 발생 시 전압과 전류의 관계 및 거리에 따른 고장파급효과를 분석하였다.

In this paper, a 10kVA PV inverter applying Incremental Conductance(IncCond) method for maximum power point tracking WIS developed and its performance tests were carried out. Modeling and simulation of PV array and system controller was performed using PSCAD/EMTDC, an electromagnetic transient analysis program. After comparison and analysis of Perturbation & Observation (P & O) and IncCond method, a PV inverter based on IncCond method was designed and manufactured. Grid interface transient characteristics including start-up, normal operation, and fault operation were tested, which verified the usefulness of the proposed system. In the near future, commercialization process will proceed through additional extensive tests of transients.

The interrupting capability of circuit breaker to have an effect on stability and reliability of the power system is largely determined by the fault current and prospective TRV (prospective transient recovery voltage). The prospective TRV, which is essentially a system function determined by the elements of the connected circuit, is not constant for a given system location but is affected by a number of variables. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the prospective TRV of KEPCO's 345KV transmission system by using EMTP (Electro-Magnetic Transients Program) and to compare the calculated values with the standard values in KSB 150 (1976)

전력 에너지는 안정하고 신뢰할 수 있도록 고장에 대한 빠른 대처가 필요하다. 고장시 빠른 수리를 위해서는 보수 승무원에게 고장 위치를 정확하게 알려주어 올바른 위치에 도착할 수 있도록 고장점 표정 알고리즘의 정확도가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 기존 1회선 분기점을 갖는 병행 2회선 송전선로의 고장점 표정 알고리즘을 이용하여 정확한 고장 위치를 찾는 방법으로 개선된 NVP(N-version programming) 모델을 적용한 새로운 계산 방법을 제안한다. 송전선로의 고장 데이터는 EMTP(Electro Magnetic Transients Program)을 사용하여 154[kV], 25[km] 분기된, 병행 2회선 송전선로에서 고장지진과 고장저항의 데이터존 이용하여 시뮬레이션했다.

The calculation of short-circuit currents is important for power systems operation and restoration, and for determining the means to protect human lives and properties. In this paper, a part of a power system network, around the D$\breve{e}$tmarovice power station in Czech Republic, was simulated by the well known program EMTP-ATPDraw (Electromagnetic Transients Program-Alternative Transient Program), and short-circuit currents and voltages were calculated at different points in the electric network and presented as a time function by the PlotXY program. Calculations were done just for phase-to-ground, and for the three-phase short-circuit at the Kun$\check{c}$ice substation. The results were important for determining the characteristics of the equipment required to withstand or break the short-circuit current; for this reason, the calculations were repeated using earth-fault resistances only for the case of busbar KUN shown in Figs. 5 and 6.
