This paper presents the estimation of minimum BESS capacity for regulating the output of wind farms considering power grid operating condition in Jeju Island. To analyze the characteristics of wind farm outputs with a BESS, the real data of wind farms, Sung-San, Sam-dal and Hang-Won wind farm, located in the eastern part of Jeju island is considered. The wind farms are connected to Sung-san substation to transfer the electric power to Jeju power grid. Consequently, at PCC (Point of Common Coupling), it can see a huge wind farm connected to the substation and thus it can be expected that the smoothing effect is affected by not only the different wind speeds for each area but also the different mechanical inertia of wind turbines. In this paper, two kinds of simulation have been carried out. One is to analyze the real data of wind farm outputs during a winter season, and the other is to connect a virtual BESS to eliminate the unintended generating power changes by the uncontrolled wind farm outputs as shown in the former data. In the conclusion, two kinds of simulation results show that BESS installed in the substation is more efficient than each wind farms with BESS, respectively.

In this paper, we propose the protection coordination algorithm using communication methode based on IEC 61850. The communication protocol in power distribution management system has been issued by IEC standard, IEC61850 of them, which was made for substation automation system, has researched to apply into power distribution system, even though the standard is not a suitable for the system. In smart distribution management system' launched in 2009, the communication network based on the ethernet network for IEC 61850 has been designed to apply the self-healing concept, which is to perform the system protection through the communication between remote terminal units(RTU) according to the standard. However, it is first time to apply the scheme in the real. Thus, this paper proposed the protection algorithm and consideration for applying communication method and introduced the result of demonstration.

As the power system develops rapidly into a smarter and more flexible state, so must the communication technologies that support it. Machine to machine (M2M) communication in Smart Grid environment has been discussed in European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). The power system is not easily replaceable, due to system replacement cost. The M2M gateway is required in other to improve interoperability in M2M environment. The Distributed Network Protocol 3.0 (DNP3.0) is the most important standard in the SCADA systems for the power. It has been used for device data collection/control in Substation Systems, Distribution Automation System. If the DNP3.0 data model is combined with a set of contemporary web protocols, it can result in a major shift. We selected Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) based on RESTful as M2M protocol. It is a specialized web transfer protocol for use with constrained nodes and constrained networks. We have used the OPNET Modeler 17.1 in order to verity the SOAP versus CoAP. In this paper, we propose the CoAP-based M2M Gateway to Distribution Automation system using DNP3.0 in Smart Grid Environment.

As the power grids are integrated into one big umbrella called a "smart grid," communication protocol plays a key role in successful operations. The successful deployment of smart grid interoperability is a major hurdle that must be overcome. The micro grid, a small power system that distributes energy resource, is operated in diverse regions. Different vendors use different communication protocols in the operation of the micro grid. Recently, the IEC 61850 has been legislated to solve the interoperability problems in power utility automation. The present paper presents a micro grid system based on the IEC 61850 protocol. It consists of a micro grid monitoring system, a protocol converter that transforms serial data to IEC 61850 data, and distributed energy resource controllers for diverse DER nodes. A developed communication gateway can be deployed for DER controllers with serial links to exchange data with IEC 61850-based devices. The gateway can be extended to IEC 61850-based distribution automation systems, substation automation systems, or SCADA.

A considerable amount of research material discussing designs and properties of High Temperature Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (HTS FCL) is available. However, a shortage of research concerning positioning of HTS FCL in power grid is felt. In this paper a feasibility study of HTS FCL positioning in Smart Grid through simulation analysis is carried out. A complete power network (including generation, transmission and distribution) is modeled in Simulink / SimPowerSystems. A generalized HTS FCL is also designed by integrating Simulink and SimPowerSystem blocks. The distribution network of the model has a wind turbine attached to it forming a micro grid. Three phase fault have been simulated along with placing FCL models at key points of the distribution grid. It is observed that distribution grid, having distributed generation sources attached to it, must not have a single FCL located at the substation level. Optimized HTS FCL location regarding the best fault current contribution from wind turbine has been determined through simulation analysis.

In attempts to closely study the effect of high efficiency, friendly environment HTS(High Temperature Superconducting) cable and SFCL(Superconducting Fault Current Limiters) on power system, several projects were carried out around the world. Promising results have been achieved in terms of cable capacity and reliability. commercial HTS cable and SFCL, however, must not only be only be feasible, but meet practical requirements as well. To facilitate the transition of HTS cable technology from the Lab. to the Real Grid, a New project for applying 22.9kV HTS cables and SFCL to the commercial Power Grid supported by Government has just started in KEPCO. Target of this project is to operate two 22.9kV, 50MVA, 150MVA HTS cables and two 22.9kV 630A, 3000A SFCL in a KEPCO Grid in order to demonstrate its reliability and stable operation. This paper will present the technology for selecting appropriate site and its plan for installation & operating of 22.9kV HTS cables & SFCL in KEPCO Grid.

The different between two potential voltages can cause the electric field. The electric field is normally distributed along the radius of electrode, and hence it depends on the shape of electrodes. This paper analyses the distribution factor of electric field of symmetrical and asymmetrical concentric electrodes by using Finite Element technique. This allows an analysis the optimum safety clearance distance between two concentric electrodes. The symmetrical concentric electrode refers to Spherical-Spherical concentric electrodes and Cylindrical-Cylindrical concentric electrodes. It must be noted that the symmetrical electrodes are mostly applied for Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) equipments. The asymmetrical electrodes mention to Spherical (inner)-Cylindrical (outer) concentric electrodes and Cylindrical-Cube concentric electrodes, which present as the connection point of High Voltage (HV) cable. The simulations is also complies with the existing standards and regulations in order to ensure the accurate results.

The high-availability seamless redundancy (HSR) protocol is one of the most important redundancy IEC standards that has garnered a great deal of attention because it offers a redundancy with zero recovery time, which is a feature that is required by most of the modern substation, smart grid, and industrial field applications. However, the HSR protocol consumes a lot of network bandwidth compared to the Ethernet standard. This is due to the duplication process for every sent frame in the HSR networks. In this paper, a novel algorithm known as the reducing multicast traffic (RMT) is presented to reduce the unnecessary redundant multicast traffic in HSR networks by limiting the spreading of the multicast traffic to only the rings that have members associated with that traffic instead of spreading the traffic into all the network parts, as occurs in the standard HSR protocol. The mathematical and the simulation analyses show that the RMT algorithm offers a traffic reduction percentage with a range of about 60-87% compared to the standard HSR protocol. Consequently, the RMT algorithm will increase the network performance by freeing more bandwidth so as to reduce HSR network congestion and also to minimize any intervention from the network administrator that would be required when using traditional traffic filtering techniques.
