  • Patent number: 9673633
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for minimizing a distribution loss which reconstructs the system construction of a distribution system in consideration of section load characteristics of mutually different distribution system. The apparatus for minimizing a distribution loss which determines a loss calculation period for detecting a loss minimization time point using mutually different distribution systems, calculates loss values of mutually different distribution systems set according to each time point of the loss calculation period, and calculates a total loss value, and selects the mutually different distribution systems one by one during the loss calculation period, and calculates a loss value for specific systems of each distribution system in consideration of a change of a section load in each selected distribution system, determines a loss minimization time point using the specific system loss value of each distribution system and the total loss value.

  • Patent number: 9575482
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for performing adjustment to optimize the voltage for each distribution network in a power distribution system. The apparatus for adjusting a voltage in the power distribution system adjusts the voltage by switching a switch that lies on a path in the power distribution system. The apparatus determines a switch that is to become a switching target from among switches lying on the path, obtains a voltage optimization value of the determined switching target switch, selects a switch having the minimum voltage optimization value by changing the switching target switch to another switch in order to obtain the voltage optimization value, and adjusts the voltage through switching of the selected switch.

  • Publication number: 20120036355
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and system for universally encrypting and decrypting a transaction which is a functional unit in a power network, while reducing a system load. When a transmitting node encrypts a transaction, the serial number of the transaction corresponding to each piece of data included in the transaction is present, and data is selected either using a predetermined criterion or randomly, and is then encrypted. The transaction serial number is added to the encrypted data. A receiving node selects data to be decrypted using the transaction serial number or a predetermined criterion. Through this operation, encryption has been conducted from the standpoint of the transaction, but only part of the data is encrypted based on a probability from the standpoint of the data, so that a system load is reduced, thus enabling efficient encryption and decryption technologies to be implemented.
