Abstract

It is well known that distributed generation(DG) system using renewable energy is an alternative to solve the problems which result from the exhaustion of fossil fuel and the environmental pollution. A PWM inverter is required for a power flow control in the DG systems. This paper proposes a SRF power flow control method considering grid impedance in grid-connected single-phase inverter systems. The proposed SRF power flow control method can provide a voltage-reference for the single-phase inverter even without any grid impedance estimation so that the single-phase inverter system could operate in stand-alone mode and grid-connected mode based on the known nominal value of grid impedance. Also independent controls of active and reactive power are achieved by the proposed control method. The effectiveness and the validity of the proposed control method are demonstrated through simulations. The simulation results show that the proposed control method can control properly power flow in grid-connected single-phase inverter systems.

화석에너지의 고갈과 환경오염 문제를 해결하기 위한 대안인 신재생 에너지를 이용하는 분산발전 시스템은 핵심 구성 요소인 PWM 인버터의 전력제어가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 단상 계통연계 인버터 시스템의 전력제어를 위해 계통 임피던스를 고려한 SRF(synchronous-reference-frame) 전력제어 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 SRF 전력제어 방법은 복잡한 계통 임피던스의 추정 없이 계통 임피던스의 공칭값(nominal value)에 기반해 단상 인버터에 전압 기준값(reference)을 제공하여 독립운전 모드와 계통연계 모드에서 모두 운전이 가능함을 나타내었다. 또한, 유효전력과 무효전력의 독립적인 제어가 가능한 장점을 가진다. 계통을 포함하는 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 SRF 전력제어 방법의 타당성을 검증한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안한 SRF 전력제어 방법을 통해 단상 계통연계 인버터 시스템의 전력 흐름을 적절히 제어할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.
