Abstract

Islanding of PV systems occurs when the utility grid is removed but the PV systems continue to operate and provide power to local loads. Islanding is one of the serious problems in an electric power system connected with dispersed power sources. This can present safety hazards and the possibility of damage to other electric equipments. In the passive method, the voltage and frequency of PCC are measured and it determines islanding phenomena if their values excess the allowed limits. If the real and reactive power of RLC load and those of the PV system are closely matched, islanding phenomena can't be detected by the passive methods. Several active methods were proposed to detect islanding operation in the region where the passive method can not detect it. The most effective method is SFS method which was suggested by Sandia National Laboratory. In this paper, a new islanding detection method using automatic phase-shift is proposed and its validity is verified through the simulation and experimental results.

계통 연계형 태양광 발전 시스템이 정전 혹은 사고 등으로 계통으로부터 분리되었을 때 태양광 발전 시스템이 배전선 부하를 떠맡아 운전을 계속하는 현상을 고립운전이라 하는데 이런 상태가 지속되면 선로 유지보수자의 안전사고를 야기할 수 있으며 전기설비에 나쁜 영향을 줄 수도 있다. 수동 검출법은 연계점(PCC:Point of Common Coupling)의 전압이나 주파수를 측정하여 한계치를 벗어나면 고립운전으로 판단하는데 RLC 부하의 유효전력과 무효전력이 각각 PV 시스템의 유효전력, 무효전력과 서로 비슷하면 검출할 수 없다. 이 경우 고립운전을 검출하기 위한 다양한 능동 검출법이 제안되었으며 가장 효과적인 방법은 미국 샌디아 연구실(Sandia National Lab)에서 제안한 SFS법(Sandia Frequency Shift method)이다. 본 논문에서는 자동 위상 이동을 이용한 새로운 능동 검출기법을 제안하고 Matlab 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 타당성을 검증하였다.
