A Photovoltaic (PV) system's power output varies with the change of climate. Frequency deviations, tie line voltage swings are caused by the varying PV power when large PV power from several PV systems is fed in the utility. In this paper, to overcome these problems, a simple coordinated control method for smoothing the variations of combined PV power from multiple PV systems is proposed. Here, output power command is formed in two steps: central and local. Fuzzy control is used to produce the central smoothing output power command considering insolation, variance of insolation and absolute average of frequency deviation. In local step, a simple coordination is kept between the central power command and the local power commands by producing a common tuning factor. Power converters are used to achieve the same output power as local command power employing PI control law for each of the PV generation systems. The proposed method is compared with the method where conventional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control is used for each of the PV systems. Simulation results show that the proposed method is effective for smoothing the output power variations and feasible to reduce the frequency deviations of the power utility.

The purpose of this study is to develope a CAD-based tool for rasterization of polygonal vector map in AutoCAD. To identity the layer property of polygonal entity with user-defined coordinates as topology, algorithm in processing entity data of selection set that intersected with scan line was used, and the layers were extracted sequentially by sorted intersecting points in data-list. In addition to the functions for querying and modifying topology, two options for mapping were set up to construct plan projection type and to change meshes' properties in existing DTM data. In case of plan projection type, user-defined cell size of 3DFACE mesh is available for more detailed edge, and topological draping on landform can be executed in case of referring DTM data as an AutoCAD's drawing. The concept of algorithm was simple and clear, but some unexpectable errors were found in detecting intersected coordinates that were AutoCAD's error, not the utility's. Also, the routines to check these errors were included in algorithmic processing. Developed utility named MESHMAP was written in entity data control functions of AutoLISP language and dialog control language(DCL) for the purpose of user-oriented interactive usage. MESHMAP was proved to be more effective in data handling and time comparing with GRIDMAP module in LANDCADD which has similar function.

When distributed generation such as a wind power system is connected to the grid, it should meet grid requirements like IEEE Std. 1547, which regulates the anti-islanding method. Since the islanding may cause damage on electrical equipments or safety hazards for utility line worker, a distributed generation should detect it as soon as possible. This paper proposes a hybrid anti-islanding method coupled with the active and passive detection methods. To enhance the harmonic extraction capability for an active harmonic injection method, cascaded second-order band-pass filter and signal processing scheme are employed. Simulation and experiments are carried out under the islanding test condition specified in IEEE Std. 1547. Passive over/under voltage and over/under frequency methods are combined with the active method to improve the detection speed under certain condition. The simulation and experimental results are presented to verify that the proposed hybrid anti-islanding method can effectively detect the islanding.

In this paper a multiple channel EPD controller is developed which enables us to detect endpoints simultaneously in the plasma etching process operated in multiple etching chambers and its performance characteristic are investigated. for the accurate detectiion of endpoint the developed EDP controller was able to implement endpoint detectiions by integrating the existing EPD controllers with the techiques of artificial intellignet, to enhance its performance. The performance of the developed EPD controller was carried out by repeated experiments of endpoint detection in the acrual production line of semiconductor manufacturing. It's utility for endpoint detectiion was accurately evaluated in various etching process. The control capability of multiple etching chambers enhances its application compared with the existing one, and also increases the user utility os that the efficiency of operation was improved.

In recent years, installation of the new and renewable energy system is rapidly increasing. Because the new and renewable energy system is a practical distributed generation system to save energy resources and to keep environments clean. Conventional single-phase utility interactive inverter controls output current by using PI current controller. However, this method is insufficient to suppress harmonic current resulted from nonlinear loads in grid line. In this paper, in order to suppress periodic waveform distortion and improve THD(Total Harmonic Distortion), new type current controller added a parallel repetitive controller is proposed and then performance of the proposed controller was verified with computer simulation.

This paper deal with a necessary factors for design grid connected photovoltaic system with stand-alone operation, and show simulation results of individual functions and multi- operation according to utility condition. Generally, photovoltaic system have only one operation of either stand-alone or line interactive, and have a isolation transformer for electrical isolation from utility therefore it is bulky, weighty, and a high price system as compared with usefulness. In this paper, A topology and algorithm adequate for lightweight, high efficiency, low price, multi function is selected and inquired into the validity using simulation of variable conditions.

For two decades and more, a lot of research work on the biological effects of EMF(Electromagnetic Fields) on Human hearth have been reported. Power-frequency magnetic fields are a natural consequence of the flow of electricity. This paper deals with the modeling of electric utility facilities taking into account the line geometries. The magnetic fields profiles obtained from the computer simulation arc compared to those from measurements.

Electrical transmission and distribution networks must withstand an occasionally abnormal condition such as a fault, with prejudicial consequences for the line, transformers or generators. And the improvement of reliability and quality of the delivered power from an electric utility motivates the development of new technologies in power applications. As a part of these studies, the usefulness and utility of a superconduction fault current limiter(SFCL) are shown. The SFCL is applied to 22.9KV three-phase power system and performed short circuit studies. The verified quench characteristic of SFCL is adopted for fault simulation and the results are compared with those of system which have not SFCL.

As it has been reported that more than 60% of transmission line faults occurs due to lightning strokes, lighting is one of concerned issues in electric power utility company. Most of transmission line is double circuit in Korea. Double circuit outages account for 33.7 percent of total lightning faults from 1996 to 2004. Even though transmission fault might be cleared shortly by protective system, it could deteriorate the power quality accompanied with sag or flicker. Moreover, double circuit fault may lead to more aggravated situation, for instance, blackout. To Protect transmission lines from lightning stroke, reduction of tower footing resistance, multiple ground wires and unbalanced insulation in double circuit lines have been adopted. In this paper, we would like to introduce insulation design standards for lightning protection of Korea Electric Power Corporation.

when electric traction system used DC 1500V runs on decline of rail road track and slows down, dc voltage goes beyond regular voltage. In this case extra power is forcibly wasted by resister because rectifier of substation and electric train including power converter and so on are out of order. This paper described a DC electric railway system, which can generate the excessive DC power form DC bus line to AC source in substation for traction system. The purpose of this study was the development of the regenerative inverter system which suppress extra DC-line voltage and regenerate the energy instead of using a resister. That is Developed regenerative inverter system returns the regenerative energy from the DC line voltage to the utility. In addition, the inverter can be compensate the harmonics caused by the power conversion devices used in the DC traction system.
