Analysis of Underground Distribution System Models for Secondary Substations

초록

In Korea, the demand for complete underground installation of power distribution equipment installed on roads and green areas is increasing. In addition, KEPCO is making efforts to build a more reliable system for the underground distribution system. To meet these needs, this paper proposes the S-substation. In the S-substation, an RMU, a large power transformer, and an LV-Board (including ATCB and MCCB) are installed within the underground structure. This paper proposes three models to apply the S-substation to the underground distribution system. Power flow analysis is conducted for each model by simulating a variety of loads and DERs, and the frequency fluctuations are also examined under different distribution system events. An economic analysis is also conducted to select the optimal model. The economic analysis focuses on VOLL and construction costs. Based on power flow and economic analysis, one model is selected, and the underground distribution system that the model is applied is presented.
