To test the effectiveness of using an energy storage system for frequency regulation, the Energy New Business Laboratory at KEPCO Research Institute installed a 4 MW energy storage system (ESS) demonstration facility at the Jocheon Substation on Jeju Island. And after the successful completion of demonstration operations, a total of 52 MW ESS for frequency regulation was installed in Seo-Anseong (28 MW, governor-free control) and in Shin-Yongin (24 MW, automatic generation control). The control system used in these two sites was based on the control system developed for the 4 MW ESS demonstration facility. KEPCO recently finished the construction of 184 MW ESS for frequency regulation in 8 locations, (e.g. Shin-Gimjae substation, Shin-Gaeryong substation, etc.) and they are currently being tested for automatic operation. KEPCO plans to construct additional ESS facilities (up to a total of about 500 MW for frequency regulation by 2017), thus, various operational tests would first have to be conducted. The high-speed characteristic of ESS can negatively impact the power system in case the 500 MW ESS is not properly operated. At this stage we need to verify how effectively the 500 MW ESS can regulate frequency. In this paper, the effect of using ESS for frequency regulation on the power system of Korea was studied. Simulations were conducted to determine the effect of using a 524 MW ESS for frequency regulation. Models of the power grid and the ESS were developed to verify the performance of the operation system and its control system. When a high capacity power plant is tripped, a 24 MW ESS supplies power automatically and 4 units of 125MW ESS supply power manually. This study only focuses on transient state analysis. It was verified that 500 MW ESS can regulate system frequency faster and more effectively than conventional power plants. Also, it was verified that time-delayed high speed operations of multiple ESS facilities do not negatively impact power system operations. It is recommended that further testing be conducted for a fleet of multiple ESSs with different capacities distributed over multiple substations (e.g. 16, 24, 28, and 48 MW ESS distributed across 20 substations) because each ESS measures frequency individually. The operation of one ESS facility will differ from the other ESSs within the fleet, and may negatively impact the performance of the others. The following are also recommended: (a) studies wherein all ESSs should be operated in automatic mode; (b) studies on the improvement of individual ESS control; and (c) studies on the reapportionment of all ESS energies within the fleet.

Aiming at the deficiencies of power sharing control performances when a traditional droop control is adopted for microgrid inverters, this paper proposes a microgrid inverter power sharing control strategy based on a virtual synchronous generator. This control method simulates the electromechanical transient characteristics of a synchronous generator in a power system by an ontology algorithm and the control laws of a synchronous generator by control over the speed governor and excitation regulator. As a result, that the microgrid system is able to effectively retain the stability of the voltage and frequency, and the power sharing precision of the microgrid inverter is improved. Based on an analysis of stability of a microgrid system controlled by a virtual synchronous generator, design thoughts are provided for further improvement of the power sharing precision of inverters. The simulation results shows that when the virtual synchronous generator based control strategy was adopted, the power sharing performances of microgrid inverters are improved more obviously than those using the droop control strategy.

현재 임베디드 기기는 멀티코어로 급성장하고 있으며 빠른 부팅 속도를 요구하고 있다. 하지만 기존의 부팅 기술은 하나의 코어만을 사용하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 분석 도구를 통해 안드로이드 부트 프로세스를 분석후, CPU연산이 많은 곳에 병렬 기법을 적용하는 방법과 멀티 코어의 성능을 최대로 끌어내기 위해 CPU주파수 정책을 변경함으로써 멀티코어 기반에서 안드로이드 부팅 속도 향상 방법에 대해 제안한다. 본 논문의 제안 방법을 듀얼 코어 S5PV310과 쿼드 코어 Exynos4412에 각각 적용시킨 뒤 부팅 완료 시간을 측정하였으며 기존의 방법과 제안 방법의 시간을 비교한 결과 듀얼코어와 쿼드코어에서 각각 약 20.71%, 약 31.34%의 속도 성능향상을 가져왔다.

스마트무인기의 추진동력계통은 터보프롭 항공기와 유사한 피치 가버닝 개념으로 조종사가 엔진동력을 직접 입력하고 제어기는 프로펠러의 RPM을 일정하게 유지하는 방식을 사용한다. PW206C 엔진은 회전익 항공기에 맞게 개발된 전자식 엔진제어기(Electronic Engine Control)를 갖춘 터보축엔진으로 스마트무인기에서 요구되는 엔진제어개념과는 맞지 않는다. 따라서 기존 EEC의 엔진상태 모니터링 기능은 사용하되 엔진 출력은 수동방식으로서 전기식 작동기를 엔진의 Power Lever Arm(PLA)에 연결하여 조절한다. 본 논문에서는 엔진성능계산프로그램을 사용하여 비행고도 및 속도변화에 대한 엔진성능을 계산하여 각 비행조건에서의 PLA 작동범위를 예측하였다.

신규 발전소 부지 및 송전선 경과지 확보의 어려움 때문에 신규 발전기들은 기존의 발전단지에 건설되고 송전망은 더 복잡한 망의 형태로 구성되고 있다. 이러한 구조적인 특징은 전력계통의 운용의 신뢰성에 제약을 발생시킨다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 전력계통의 해석의 고도화와 적절한 대책이 요구된다. 또한 현재 진행중인 전력산업의 구조 개편 이후, 신뢰성과 경제성을 동시에 추구하여야하는 경쟁적 전력시장에서의 계통해석 결과에 따른 비용 발생시에 책임소재의 투명성과 해석결과에 대한 검증이 필요하게 되어 계통해석 기술의 고도_화와 이를 구현하기 위한 해석 프로그램의 다변화가 절실하게 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 대규모 전력계통 해석 프로그램인 EUROSTAG의 발전기 제어계 계통 의 모델을 개발하였고, 성능을 입증하기 위해서 현재 전력회사에서 사용되는 PSS/E와 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교하였다.

In general, in an emergency generator system for an electric facility including an induction motor load, an emergency power generation facility larger than the facility load capacity is built due to the initial starting current of the induction motor. In order to reduce this economic burden, various methods to reduce the inrush current of induction motors are applied to suppress the additional expansion of generators due to the reduction of power generation facilities and the increase in electrical facilities. Among these methods, when a system with a built-in soft start function of an induction motor using an inverter is built, it is the best way to reduce the inrush current of the induction motor to less than the rated current. However, in this case, the installation cost of the inverter to drive the induction motor increases. This paper proposes a soft start method of an induction motor by expanding the frequency and voltage control operation area of an emergency generator. In addition, proposed a speed calculation method based on power factor information, which is essential information for stable soft start of an induction motor, and a method for generating a speed command value of the governor for starting with maximum torque.
