In this study, the lightning overvoltages for different grounding methods are compared and analyzed. There are many grounding methods to prevent lightning damage to wind turbines. In this study, three grounding methods are considered: an independent grounding method and two common grounding methods. Independent grounding refers to the separate grounding of each facility that requires grounding. Co...Show More
The Korean Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) has created a number of initiatives for encouraging both green and smart energy in the global energy industry. With the aim of being a smart energy creator, KEPCO conducted R&D for green and smart substations over the last 10 years, which will be implemented in future substations.Show More
As a power network isolated from neighboring countries, the electricity infrastructure in South Korea (also called the Republic of Korea) requires a high level of preparation for adopting future grid technologies. System plans must provide a practical solution for power system expansion that complies with strict reliability performance criteria, including contingencies (faults) on the 765-kV trans...Show More
This paper presents the design of the advanced voltage management system (AVMS) including manual operation mode in order to control reactive power generation in a practical power system. The existing secondary voltage controller (SVC) has a demerit occurring as a large transient phenomenon shortly after the SVC begins to work. This malfunction results from the difference of the operation statuses ...Show More
Recent technological achievement in areas of distributed computing, networking, high speed communications and digital control, as well as the availability of accurate GPS time source, are rapidly becoming the enabling factors for the development of a new generation of real time power grid monitoring tools. KDN (Korea electric power Date Network Co.) R&D department with KERI, Korea University and L...Show More

Recently, massive power outages in Europe and North America were caused by unbalances in reactive power, resulting in voltage collapse. In order to solve these problems in many advanced countries, voltage/reactive power control system developed for domestic power system and voltage/reactive power control system are operating. In terms of voltage stability voltage, Korea recognized the necessity of...Show More
This paper presents a development of program in long-term dynamic stability. The long-term voltage instability is caused by reactive-power reserves. The reactive-power reserve problems are especially determined by over-excitation limiter (OXL) and under load tap changer (ULTC), etc., which are the power device having a few to 10's minutes of time periods. The previous method estimating long-term v...Show More
This paper proposes a voltage and reactive power control methodology, which is motivated towards implementation in the KEPCO power system. The main voltage control devices are generators in continuous type and make sure capacitors and reactors in discrete type. Effects of control devices are evaluated by pure reactive power reserve that is exactly to guarantee generator's reactive power margin for...Show More
This paper deals with the application of a nonlinear interior point method (NIPM) to optimal reactive power flow (ORPF) using rounding penalty functions. The applied penalty is in the form of a cosine function and is included to harmonize with the barrier functions for discrete control variables in power system optimization problems. The procedure and formulation for the discrete ORPF problem to h...Show More
Voltage sag(instantaneous voltage drop) of the grid system is the most frequent power quality problem. The impact of sag to the sensitive loads is severe. And load disruptions by sag bring about substantial economic losses up to millions of dollars. DVR is one of the CPD(custom power device) that can mitigate the voltage sag. It operates as a series connected compensator whose output voltage can c...Show More
This paper presents the optimal capacitor placement (OCP) algorithm for the voltage stability enhancement. The problem of OCP is composed by the integer variables and highly nonlinear equations. Generally, this problem can be solved by the OPF algorithms, but the OPF has the defect to solve the problems contained the integer variables and to find the global solution. The particle swarm optimizatio...Show More
