This paper describes a simulation model to analyze the dynamic performance of Unified Power Flow Controller, which adjust flexibly the active and reactive power flow through the ac transmission line. The basic operation was analyzed in detail using equivalent circuits and the design of control system was developed using vector control method. A simulation model with EMTP code was conceived to evaluate the performance of the Unified power Flow Controller. The simulation results show that the developed simulation model is very effective to analyze the dynamic performance of the Unified Power Flow Controller.

To control the vibration and sound of structure, it is important to analyze the dynamic action of structure. And through those analysis, the vibration source and the flow path is understood. To grasp that, when the two-dimension plate structure is shaken by a harmonic point excitation with the natural frequency using the finite element method, this paper presents the relation between vibration power flow and mode shape. As those results present to vector flow, the vibration power flow is visualized.

The importance of the Load Power Factor(LPF) management is newly noticed from the voltage management and operation of the power system due to the rapidly increasing reactive power consumed. Therefore, this paper proposes the regional, seasonal and hourly Representative Model of Load Power Factor(RMLPF) considering load characteristics of all 154/22.9[kV] substations. The RMLPF is used to present a precision improvement of power system analysis and security. Computation of representative model of load utilizes the average flow method based on moving average method. The Energy Management System(EMS) data are used as the source to assess the load power factor.

The power transfer capability is determined by the thermal, dynamic stability and voltage limits of the generation and transmission systems. The voltage stability depends on the reactive power limit and it affects the power transfer capability to a great extent. Then, in most load flow analysis, the reactive power limit is assumed as fixed, relatively different from the actual case. This paper proposes a method for determining the power transfer capability from a static voltage stability point of view using the IPLAN which is a high level language used with PSS/E program. The f-V curve for determining the power transfer capability is determined using Repeated Power Flow method. It Is assumed that the loads are constant and the generation powers change according to the merit order. The maximum reactive power limits are considered as varying similarly with the actual case and the effects of the varied maximum reactive power limits to the maximum power transfer capability are analyzed using a 5-bus power system and a 19-bus practical power system.

A balanced vane pump for the use of automotive power steering systems generates a flow ripple which is imposed upon the mean flow rate. The flow ripple interacts with the characteristics of the connected pipes, valves and steering gear in a complex manner to produce a pressure ripple, also known as fluid-borne noise. In order to reduce vibration level and produce quieter and more reliable power steering systems, it is important to measure the flow ripple produced by a pump with high accuracy and fast response. In this paper, the flow ripple generated by a vane pump in automotive power steering systems is measured by the remote instantaneous flow rate measurement method (RIFM) using hydraulic pipeline dynamics. In experiment, flow and pressure ripple wave forms are measured under various operating conditions. Also, the parameters affected upon the flow and pressure ripple are investigated by the frequency analysis.

The conventional power system allowed only downstream power flow. Therefore, even if a fault occurs, only the forward current flow is considered. However, with the interest in distributed generation (DG), DGs such as Photovoltaic (PV), Wind Turbine (WT) are being connected to a power system. DGs have many advantages, but they also have disadvantage such as generation of reverse flow. Reverse flow can severely disrupt existing protection systems that only consider downstream power flow. The major problems that may arise from reverse power flow are blinding protection and sympathetic tripping. In order to solve such problems, the methods of installing a directional relay or a fault current limiter is proposed. However, this method is inconceivable because of the economics shortage. Therefore, in this paper, a distance relay installed in existing power system is used to solve the protection problem. Modeling of distance relay has been carried out using ElectroMagnetic Transients Program (EMTP), and it has been verified through simulations that the above problems can be solved by a distance relay.

Parallel processing has the potential to be cost effectively used on computationally intense power system problems. But this technology is not still available is not only parallel computer but also parallel processing scheme. Testing these algorithms to ensure accuracy, and evaluation of their performance is also an issue. Although a significant amount of parallel algorithms of power system problem have been developed in last decade, actual testing on processor architectures lies in the beginning stages. This paper presents the parallel processing algorithm to supply the base being able to treat power flow by newton's method by the distributed memory type parallel computer. This method is to assign and to compute teared blocks of sparse matrix at each parallel processors. The testing to insure accuracy of developed method have been done on serial computer by trying to simulate a parallel environment.

This paper presents a scheme to solve the congestion problem with phase-shifting transformer(PST) controls and power generation controls using linear programming method. A good design of PST and power generation control can improve total transfer capability(TTC) in interconnected systems. This paper deals with an application of optimization technique for TTC calculation. Linear programming method is used to maximize power flow of tie line subject to security constraints such as voltage magnitude and real power flow in interconnected systems. The results are compared with that of repeat power flow(RPF) and sequential quadratic programming(SQP). The proposed method is applied to 10 machines 39 buses model systems to show its effectiveness.

This paper proposes a distribution voltage control method when a voltage increase condition occurs due to reverse power flow from the clustered photovoltaic (PV) system. This proposed distribution voltage control is performed a by distribution-unified power flow controller (D-UPFC). D-UPFC consists of a hi-directional ac-ac converter and transformer. It does not use any energy storage component or rectifier circuit, but it directly converts ac to ac. The distribution model and D-UPFC voltage control using the ATP-EMTP program were simulated and the results show the voltage increase control in the distribution system.

In the competitive electricity market, various pricing methods are developed and practiced in many countries. Among these pricing methods, marginal loss factor(MLF) can be applied to reflect the marginal cost of network losses. For the calculation of MLF, power flow method has been used. However, it shows some shortcomings such as necessity of regional reference node, and absence of an ability to consider network constraints. The former defect might affect adversely to the equity of market participants and the latter might generate an inappropriate price signal. To overcome these defects, the utilization of optimal power flow(OPF) is suggested in this paper. 30-bus system is used for the case study to compare the MLF by the power flow and the OPF method for 24-hour dispatching and pricing.
