This paper presents a method for obtaining an exact average symbol error rate (ASER) of M-ary Phase Shift Keying (MPSK) for opportunistic amplify-and-forward (OAF) relay systems over Rayleigh fading channels. This is based on the relay selection probability when a relay is selected as the best one with respect to the received signal-to-noise ratio. We then derive the modified moment generating function (MGF) for OAF relay systems by taking the given relay selection probability into consideration. Based on the modified MGF, we derive the exact ASER which accurately explicates OAF relay system characteristics. Our results confirm that the derived ASER provides a tight upper bound for OAF relay systems.

In this paper, we propose a practical time-division half-duplex Estimate and Forward (EF) relaying protocol. The conventional EF relaying protocol works well only when the relay node is near the destination node. The proposed EF relaying protocol, however, determines adaptively relay parameters such as the quantization level of relay node and the power allocation between source and relay nodes according to the channel conditions. By doing so, the proposed EF relaying protocol provides low probability of bit error even when the relay node is far from the destination node. Consequently, the proposed EF protocol is suitable for the mobile relay systems. It is shown by simulations that the proposed EF relaying protocol shows lower bit error rate for all relay positions than a conventional EF protocol.

In this paper, two-hop beamforming relay system, with source, relay, and destination nodes, is considered and the transmit- and receive-beamforming vectors and the relay processing matrix are designed for minimizing a mean square error (MMSE) between the transmit and receive signals. Here, to reduce the transmit power of the source or the relay, two local inequality constraints are involved with MMSE problem. By adopting the Lagrange method, closed formed Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions (equalities) are derived and an iterative algorithm is developed to solve the entangled KKT equalities. Due to the inequality power constraints, the source or the relay can reduce its transmit power when the received signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of the first- and the second-hop are different. Meanwhile, the destination can achieve almost identical bit-error-rate performance compared to an optimal beamforming system maximizing the received SNR. This claim is supported by a computer simulation.

In this paper, we propose an optimal relay selection scheme for decode-and-forward relaying systems. The optimal relay selection minimizes the number of time slots used to relay source's signal and maximizes an end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio. However, decode-and-forward relaying systems require additional overhead for the optimal relay selection. Assuming independent and identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels, we provide exact and closed-form expressions for the outage probability of capacity and the bit error rate for decode-and-forward relaying systems with the optimal relay selection. It is shown that the analytic results are perfectly matched with the simulated ones. When the numbers of relay nodes are 2, 4, and 8, and the numbers of time slots for overhead are 1, 2, and 4, respectively, the proposed system achieves 1 dB, 2 dB, and 3 dB gains at 1% bit error rate, respectively, and 0.5 dB, 4 dB, and 12 dB gains at 1% outage probability for 1 bps/Hz, respectively, over the conventional decode-and-forward relaying system.

Recently, Cognitive radio (CR) has been focused for the effective utilization of the limited spectrum. Since an overlay CR system shares the given spectrum with the unlicensed system simultaneously, its spectral efficiency is high. However, most of the studies on an overlay CR system have been focused on the performance enhancement of the licensed receiver (LR). Correspondingly, the performance of the unlicensed receiver (UR) is degraded. Therefore, we propose an overlay CR NOMA system to improve the performance both of the LR and UR, which has a selected relay for the UR and adjusts the power allocation for the LR. The analytical performance of the proposed system is derived and verified the results through simulation. It is noticed that the UR can be obtained signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gains by the selected relay, consequently, the system performance can be improved. Also, we show that the performance of the proposed system can be controlled by the number of the relays as well as the power allocation ratio. The results reveal that the required performance of the system can be satisfied with the use of the selected relay under the limited transmit power.

This paper proposed protective coordination on HTS(High Temperature Superconducting) cable on 22.9kV distributed system. HTS cable transient model is developed and tested using EMTP-RV, system protective coordination is studied with ETAP. Possible contingency and protective scheme are considered real distribution system in Icheon substation.

The HTS cable couldn't protection on contingency state of power system. It was using high-speed relay system instead of conventional relay system. Then, the HTS cable was protected contingency by circuit breaker.

Recently, the radial distribution system is operating as one-way power flow. These are popular because of their simple design and relatively low cost. However, radial systems are sensitive to outages due to single contingencies. Also, reliability of supply is becoming increasingly important. Accordingly, an appearance of the loop distribution system is inevitable and the other countries such as Macau, Florida, Taiwan are actively working on. The reliability of distribution system is estimated with reliability indices. In this paper, comparing with the radial distribution system, we evaluate and analyse the reliability of loop distribution system quantitatively considering directional relay.

This paper presents a new protection concept to achieve the adaptive optimal function by introducing the multi-agent system technology. Making each relay an agent which consists of relay agent module and coordinator module, each agent works autonomously to improve protection capability by cooperating with other agents. It is applied to the overcurrent protection system of the industrial power system in order to show the feasibility of the proposed methodology.

This paper investigates the performance of a hybrid single input multiple output radio frequency/free-space optics (SIMO-RF/FSO) communication system. Each SIMO-RF link is modeled as an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh distribution, while the FSO link follows a generalized $M{\acute{a}}laga$ (M) distribution. Considering the fixed gain amplify-and-forward (AF) relay and misalignment errors, novel expressions for the outage probability (OP), average bit error rate (ABER) and average capacity are derived. Numerical results show that atmospheric turbulence and misalignment errors can seriously impair the system performance, and the hybrid RF/FSO communication system using SIMO-RF links can greatly improve system performance. We also analyze system performance under different types of modulation schemes. Numerical results are verified by Monte Carlo simulations.

This paper discusses how to implement and verify a software model of the digital relay that can be added to real time digital simulator(RTDS) model library and is then subjected to the same outputs as the actual relay. The software model is stand-alone and can be used with real relays. It is also possible to conduct interactive real-time tests when the system effects of the relay action need to be investigated. The characteristics of mho type and the quadrilateral type, which is commonly used in recently developed relays, are modeled in this paper. Single circuit line and double circuit line system are used for model verification. The transmission lines are each 100 km in length and are modeled as distributed parameter lines but not frequency dependent. The transmission lines in the single circuit system are modeled as ideally transposed line. The mutual coupling data with the parallel line was taken account in the transmission lines for the double circuit system. The main CTs and PTs are included and operated in their linear region during the tests. For the purpose of testing the relay model accuracy the faults have been applied at various points on the protected line. Its accuracy is assessed against theoretical values.
