In the power-system, the active and reactive power levels of load bus randomly vary over days, months, and years which are stochastic in nature. This paper presents an algorithm for optimal Var planning considering the uncertainties of loads. The optimization problem is solved by a stochastic linear programming technique which can handle stochastic constraints to evaluate optimal Var requirement at load bus to maintain the voltage profile which results in probabilistic density function by stochastic Load Flow analysis within admissible range. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been verified by the test on the IEEE-30 bus system.

This paper presents efficient parallel genetic algorithm (EPGA) based decomposed network for optimal power flow with various kinds of objective functions such as those including prohibited zones, multiple fuels, and multiple areas. Two coordinated sub problems are proposed: the first sub problem is an active power dispatch (APD) based parallel GA; a global database generated containing the best partitioned network: the second subproblem is an optimal setting of control variables such as generators voltages, tap position of tap changing transformers, and the dynamic reactive power of SVC Controllers installed at a critical buses. The proposed approach tested on IEEE 6-bus, IEEE 30-bus and to 15 generating units and compared with global optimization methods (GA, DE, FGA, PSO, MDE, ICA-PSO). The results show that the proposed approach can converge to the near solution and obtain a competitive solution with a reasonable time.

This paper presents the method for computing the power economic dispatch with an optimal power flow (OPF) computation algorithm, considering the power factor limits constraint. Efficient reactive power planning enhances economic operation as well as system security. Accordingly, an adequate level of power factor limits for the load buses should be evaluated for economic operation. The power factor limits are included and described into the OPF's objective function. The proposed method is applied to IEEE 26 buses system.

전력산업이 수직독점적인 구조에서 규제완화의 경쟁체제로 전환됨에 따라 무효전력서비스의 요금산정이 전력시장 운영자에게는 새로운 이슈가 되고 있다. 본 논문은 몇몇의 선진국과 국내에서 채용되는 무효전력서비스에 대한 요금산정방법을 검토하고, 무효전력시장을 이용하는 새로운 요금산정방법을 제안한다. 무효전력시장은 무효전력 발전원이 제시하는 입찰값을 바탕으로 하루전 전력시장 후에 무효전력 최적조류계산을 거쳐 단일가격으로 결정된다. 제안하는 방법은 무효전력 설치용량에 대한 투자비뿐만 아니라 무효전력 생산량을 늘리기 위해 발전기가 줄이게 되는 유효전력에 대한 기회비용을 함께 고려하고 있다. 26모선 모델계통에서의 사례연구를 통하여 제안하는 방법의 효용성을 입증하고 있다.

This paper deals with shunt compensation to eliminate voltage violation and enhance transfer capability, which is motivated towards implementation in the Korean power system. The optimal shunt compensation algorithm has demonstrated its effectiveness in terms of voltage accuracy and reducing the number of actions of reactive power compensating devices. The main shunt compensation devices are capacitor and reactor. Effects of control devices are evaluated by cost computations. The control objective at present is to keep the voltage profile of a key bus within constraints with minimum switching cost. A robust control strategy is proposed to make the control feasible and optimal for a set of power-flow cases that may occurs important event from system. Case studies with metropolitan area of the Korean power system are presented to illustrate the method.

This paper reports the results of a study on the optimization of the etching profile, which is an important factor in deep-reactive-ion etching (DRIE), i.e., dry etching. Dry etching is the key processing step necessary for the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and various microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS). Large-area etching (open area > 20%) under a high-frequency (HF) condition with nonoptimized processing parameters results in damage to the etched sidewall. Therefore, in this study, optimization was performed under a low-frequency (LF) condition. The HF method, which is typically used for through-silicon via (TSV) technology, applies a high etch rate and cannot be easily adapted to processes sensitive to sidewall damage. The optimal etching profile was determined by controlling various parameters for the DRIE of a large Si wafer area (open area > 20%). The optimal processing condition was derived after establishing the correlations of etch rate, uniformity, and sidewall damage on a 6-in Si wafer to the parameters of coil power, run pressure, platen power for passivation etching, and $SF_6$ gas flow rate. The processing-parameter-dependent results of the experiments performed for optimization of the etching profile in terms of etch rate, uniformity, and sidewall damage in the case of large Si area etching can be summarized as follows. When LF is applied, the platen power, coil power, and $SF_6$ should be low, whereas the run pressure has little effect on the etching performance. Under the optimal LF condition of 380 Hz, the platen power, coil power, and $SF_6$ were set at 115W, 3500W, and 700 sccm, respectively. In addition, the aforementioned standard recipe was applied as follows: run pressure of 4 Pa, $C_4F_8$ content of 400 sccm, and a gas exchange interval of $SF_6/C_4F_8=2s/3s$.

본 논문은 전력계통 운용에 관한 합리적인 유효전력 및 무효전력 제어방법을 제시한 논문으로 무효전력 제어에 퍼지 선형계획법을 적용하여 목적함수의 값을 최소화하고 전체 계산시간을 단축시키고 운용의 융통성을 주기 위하여 시도한 논문으로 본 논문의 특징은 다음과 같다. 1) 유효전력 제어는 선로손실을 고려한 전력수급 평형식으로서 B정수를 이용하지 않고 전력 조류 방정식의 쟈코비 행렬의 스파스한 성질을 이용하여 간단히 계산하고 Lagrange함수법을 이용함으로써 계산시간을 단축시키고 기억용량을 대폭 경감시킬 수 있으며 반복계산을 하지 않고 직접 발전기의 최적부하 배분량을 결정할 수 있다. 2) 무효전력 제어시에도 목적함수로서는 총 선로손실을 취하지 않고 발전소의 총 연료비를 취하여 이를 최소화함으로써 보다 합리적인 경제성을 도모하였다. 또 이때 필요한 제어변수에 대한 발전기 출력시 모선전압의 감도행렬의 계산은 조류 방정식의 쟈코비 행렬의 스파스한 성질을 충분히 이용하여 계산시간을 단축시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 3) 특히 무효전력 제어시에는 많은 함수형 부등식 제약조건을 즉 모선전압의 상하한 제약조건을 일정한 값으로 고정하지 않고 어떤 허용 변동폭을 주어 조건을 완화하는 퍼지 선형계획법을 적용하므로써 확정적인 제약을 갖는 일반 선형계획법을 적용할 때보다 유리한 점이 확인되었다.

This paper presents a method for the determination of total transfer capability in interconnected power systems, which is based on sequential quadratic programming (SQP). The objective function is the maximization of the interconnected line flow. To calculate TTC the control variables are the active power of the generating units, the voltage magnitude of the generator, transformer tap settings and SVC setting. The state variables are the bus voltage magnitude, the reactive power of the generating unit, line flows and the tie line flow. The method proposed is applied to the modified IEEE 14 buses model system.

This paper proposes an voltage and reactive power control methodology, which is motivated towards implementation in the korea power system. The main voltage control devices are capacitor banks, reactor banks and LTC transformers. Effects of control devices are evaluated by local subsystem's cost computations. This local subsystem is decided by 'Tier' and 'Electrical distance' in the whole system. The control objective at present is to keep the voltage profile within constraints with minimum switching cost. A robust control strategy is proposed to make the control feasible and optimal for a set of power-flow cases that may occur important event from system. This studies conducted for IEEE 39-bus low and high voltage contingency cases indicate that the proposed control methodology is much more effective than PSS/E simulation tool in deciding switching of capacitor and reactor banks.
