This paper discusses a DC distribution system which has been supplied by external AC systems as well as local microturbine distributed generation system in order to demonstrate an overall solution to power quality issue. Based on the dynamic model of the converter, a design procedure has been presented. In this paper, the power flow control in DC distribution system has been achieved by network converters. A suitable control strategy for these converters has been proposed, too. They have DC voltage droop regulator and novel instantaneous power regulation scheme. Also, a novel control system has been proposed for MT converter. Several case studies have been studied and the simulation results show that DC distribution system including microturbine unit can provide the premium power quality using proposed methods.

The flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) provides a new advanced technology solution to improve the flexibility, controllability, and stability of a power system. The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is outstanding for regulating power flow in the FACTS; it can control the real power, reactive power, and node voltage of distribution networks. This paper investigates the performance of the UPFC for power flow control with a series of step changes in rapid succession in a power system steady state and the response of the UPFC to distribution network faults and islanding mode. Simulation was carried out using the MATLAB's simulink sim power systems toolbox. The results, which were carried out on a 5-bus test system and a 4-bus multi-machine electric power system, show clearly the effectiveness and viability of UPFC in rapid response and independent control of the real and reactive power flows and oscillation damping [6].

Distribution planning requires comprehensive knowledge about not only distribution but also transmission/subtransmission system expansion plan. At the same time, distribution planning is very time consuming and a series of routine job which involves a lot of experience and efforts of planning engineers. Since the quality of distribution planning depends upon the ability of planning engineers, the economy of investment should be taken into consideration. The object of this study is to establish a computerized distribution planning system which helps distribution engineers finding a new system expansion plan. It provides the engineers with at optimal system expansion plan which satisfies the condition of both reliability and economy.

신재생에너지 확대를 위한 배전자동화시스템의 안정성 평가를 위한 연구이다. 정부는 재생에너지 3020 이행계획 정책을 통해 2030년까지 신재생에너지를 확대하여 국민의 삶의 질을 높이는 참여형 에너지 체계로 전환할 계획이다. 정부는 2030년까지 재생에너지 발전량 비중을 국내 보급 에너지의 20%로 목표 설정하였다. 신규 설비용량의 95% 이상을 태양광 풍력 등 청정에너지로 설립할 계획이다. 재생에너지 보급 확대로 에너지 신사업과 분산전원 산업이 육성되어 과거의 대규모 전원 개발이 아닌 근거리, 저압, 소규모 발전이 급속히 확대되었다. 이런 수요로 인해 배전 설비 운영의 중요성이 대두 되었고 배전자동화시스템이 필요성 증대되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 배전자동화시스템의 성능 및 기능 평가를 위한 배전시뮬레이터 개발에 대해 다루었고 이와 배전자동화시스템과의 연동시험 결과를 제시한다. 배전계통에 진보된 시스템을 도입하기 위해서는 송변전시스템의 장점을 취해야 한다. 배전시스템에서 DNP3.0프로토콜을 사용하고 송배전시스템에서 IEC61850 프로토콜을 사용한다. 이 두 프로토콜을 배전자동화시스템에서 혼용하여 사용시 제어, 모니터링 등의 운영에 대한 기능과 성능을 충족한다는 결론을 보였다.

The application of the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) in a power distribution system is expected to contribute the voltage-sag suppression of the bus line as well as the fault-current reduction of the fault line. However, the application effects of the SFCL on the voltage sag of the bus line including the fault current are dependent on its application location in a power distribution system. In this paper, we investigated the fault current limiting and the voltage sag suppressing characteristics of the SFCL due to its application location such as the outgoing point of the feeder, the bus line, the neutral line and the 2nd side of the main transformer in a power distribution system, and analyzed the trace variations of the bus-voltage and fault-feeder current. The simulated power distribution system, which was composed of the universal power source, two transformers with the parallel connection and the impedance load banks connected with the 2nd side of the transformer through the power transmission lines, was constructed and the short-circuit tests for the constructed system were carried out. Through the analysis on the short-circuit tests for the simulated power distribution system with the SFCLs applied into its representative locations, the effects from the SFCL's application on the power distribution system were discussed from the viewpoints of both the suppression of the bus-voltage sag and the reduction of the fault current.

This paper deals with electromagnetic transient modelling of wind power system embedded in distribution networks. Wind power system consists of induction generator link reactor, distribution line, and controlled load unit. The introduction of embedded wind power system presents a new set of conditions to networks both with respect to power quantify needed to be transported and power quality such as sag swell, very short interruption, and flicker. This paper investigates the transient behavior of voltage, frequency, and load flow in wind driven induction generation system embedded in distribution networks.

Recently, standard of living improved and Information-Communication industry developed rapidly. Thereby, interest about electric power quality is rising worldwide. So, research and Development to enhance electric power quality in various viewpoint until most suitable supply system from each kind device to improve electric power quality. And specially, interest about voltage quality is rising by diffusion increase of information communication appliance and minuteness control appliance etc. Also Power consumption is increasing, but expansion of large size generator by environmental and site security problem is difficult. So, introduction of distribution generation is investigated actively by electric-power industry reorganization. Voltage management of power system had been controlled by ULTC (Under Load Tap Changer) in substation and pole transformer on the high voltage distribution line. But, voltage control device on substation and distribution line is applied each other separatively. Therefore, efficiency of line voltage control equipment is dropping. Also, research about introduction upper limit of distribution generation is consisting continuously. This paper presents cooperation use way between voltage control device and introduction upper limit of distribution generation for most suitable voltage control in distribution power system.

This paper analyzed that the coordination of recloser-fuse when a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is installed to a power distribution system linked small scale cogeneration system. As a rule, the recloser to properly protect against both permanent and temporary fault is installed to upstream of fuse. Therefore, in a power distribution system linked small scale cogeneration system, the fault current is increased by adding fault current of small scale Cogeneration system when a permanent fault occurs, and the fuse could melt during the first fast operation of the recloser because of more sufficient heat from the increased current. However, when SFCLs are applied into a power distribution system linked small scale cogeneration system, the coordination of recloser-fuse could be accomplished due to decreased fault current as the effect of the impedance value of the SFCL. Therefore, to solve these problems, we analysed the operation of recloser-fuse coordination in a power distribution system linked small scale cogeneration system with SFCL using PSCAD/EMTDC.
