The existing power flow has a single direction to the line end but the bidirectional power flow will possibly occur depending on the output capacity in the 22.9[kV] distribution power system connected with the dispersed generation(DG). So these characteristics would influence the power system management. The DG have many advantages such as assistance source, Load share etc. So the utility must apply the bidirectional protection system so as to maximize an advantage of DG. This paper describes the field test case of bidirectional protective device in order to investigate the device performance when applied to bidirectional power system. We have tested in the power system test site of KEPCO and these tests provide the basis for performance verification test of bidirectional protective device in the power system.

Telecom supplies need to conform to low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and high Power Factor (PF) as per IEC 61000-3-2 and IEEE 519-1992 standards. These high rating power supplies use a three phase utility in which low THD and high PF are realized via various passive and active wave shaping schemes. In this paper, a new design for three phase telecom power supplies is presented with circuit parameter values optimized for high performance in terms of a low THD, high PF, low ripple and high line and load regulation using a suitable combination of various strategies. The performance of the power supply is validated by extensive simulations.

The use of underground transmission cables has increased continuously in densely inhabited urban and suburban for power transmission. Two or more transmission lines are outgoing from one substation in many cases, and one line comprises twin circuits. In order to meet the increasing do and for electric power, underground tables of two or fore circuits are installed in ducts in parallel for several kilometer in the same route. It, however, has not been known generally that the sheath circulating current is generated in a system where a large number of cables are laid on the same route. Therefore, this paper describes an improved analysis method for sheath circulating current on underground transmission cables using EMTP. Author propose several methods to reduce sheath circulating current. The analysing method and reduction methods for two or more underground cables will be really improved for cable system utility.

Power electronic loads inject harmonic currents into the utility system. The large increase of power consumption will inevitably lead to deteriorating power quality due to the popularization of switch-mode power electronic equipment. In this paper, a periodic voltage is injected in the control circuit to vary duty cycle of the rectifier switch within a line cycle so that the fifth-order harmonic of the input current is reduced to meet the IEC 61000-3-2 requirement. Experimental results are presented to confirm the validity of this method.

The inspection of a meter is an action that measures the amount of electricity, water and gas used to impose user on a charge. In past days, a meter who visit consumer to look over meter and write data to the ledger and then go back his office to calculates the inspection of a meter. On the other hand, the AMR(Automatic Meter Reading) is remote control system to measure the amount of utility used and monitor a condition of the meter. A study about AMRS is started at 1960 all over the world and a successful application example is presented continuously in American, Europe and Japan etc. In this paper we use a check meter that is used in past days and we add an AMR to it. AMR receives data that is the amounts of electricity from the check meter and stores those ...

It is the advantage of PLC that digitalization and networking of existing facility can be organized at low price because there is no need further construction of communication line considering that home appliance, information device and various kind of control devices are digitalized at low price. Moreover, AMR(Automatic Meter Reading) is very attractive to utility company because not only does it reduce the cost of reading meter, but also it can control and monitor the demand for energy. So, it can solve the consumers problem best and easily. It also can be easily realized that the utilities can expand there areas to values-added service through existing network. The performance of the PLC modem which is being developed now is not moven enough and much more test for outdoor modem is needed especially. Therefore, we, KEPRI, concentrate our efforts on configuring AMR system for test and investigation of the actual performance of various kinds ...

In this study a microcomputer-aided design program has been developed to design and analysis for the digital adaptive control system. DACS(Digital Adaptive Control System) program has been written in GWBASIC language which is suitable for IBM-PC compatible. The dynamics of each element was modulized and described by linear difference equations. By the aid of this program, sampling time, the number of bits of A/D and D/A converter and the stability for the digital adaptive control system can be determined. In order to estimate the system parameters an on-line identification and a regression analysis method are utilized. The simulation results have been well agreed with the experiments. To demonstrate the utility of this program, an adaptive control system has been designed for air-heating system.

We propose a new path planning method for autonomous mobile robots. To maximize the utility of mobile robots, the collision-free shortest path should be generated by on-line computation. In this paper, we develop an effective and practical method to generate a good solution by lower computation time. The initial path is obtained from skeleton graph by Dijkstra's algorithm. Then the path is improved by changing the graph and path dynamically. We apply the dynamic programming algorithm into the stage of improvement. Simulation results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed method.

Tins paper is designed (ⅰ) to envisage the characteristics of high speed rail stations that will be in operation when the Seoul-Pusan line currently under construction is completed and (ⅱ) to assist policy makers in mapping out transportation strategies by providing insights into how advanced countries have handled problems under similar circumstances. Ultimately, tins paper intends to present alternatives of trans-modal systems in an attempt to set a direction for future policy making in the high speed rail sector. The alternatives recommended in tins report stress two important elements for maximized utility of high speed rail: One is to maintain consistency in transportation policies and the other is to attract consumers to the station areas.

WHEN IT IS REQUIRED TO CONNECT OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION LINE WITH UNDERGROUND CABLE, PREVALENT METHOD WAS TO USE CABLE HEAD TYPICALLY MADE OF LATTICE STEEL STRUCTURE. BUT IN VIEW OF THE INCREASING DEMAND THAT STEEL STRUCTURE INSTALLED IN URBAN AREA AND/OR RESIDENTIAL AREA NEED TO MATCH WITH ENVIRONMENTAL SURROUNDINGS, THE UNSHAPELY LARGE-SIZED LATTICE STEEL STRUCTURE CAN NOT BE A PROPER ONE BECAUSE THAT IT IS NOT WELCOMED BY THE RESIDENTS AND ACCORDINGLY ITS INSTALLATION TENDS TO CONFRONT WITH CIVIL PETITION. AS AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD TO SETTLE AFOREMENTIONED UNFAVOURABLE SITUATION WE MAY BE UNDER, WE AR INTENDING TO DEVELOP THE CABLE HEAD MADE OF TAPERED TUBULAR STEEL POLE AND TO PUT IT TO PRACTICAL USE. THE ADVANTAGE WE CAN TAKE OF THE TAPERED TUBULAR STEEL POLE IS THAT IT CAN BE INSTALLED IN A VERY LIMITED SPACE MAXIMIZING THE UTILITY VALUE OF THE LAND AND THAT ITS SMART SHAPE WITH COLOUR COATING IN CONSIDERATION OF AESTHETIC AESTHETIC CAN BE IN GOOD HARMONY WITH THE SURROUNDINGS.
