Abstract

The photovoltaic system changes solar energy into DC by solar cell and this DC is inverted into AC which is used in general houses by inverter. Recently, the use of power of the photovoltaic system is increased. Therefore, the study of 3 phase solar system to transmit large power is very important. This paper proposes a method that finds simply faults and diagnoses the switch open faults of 3-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter of grid-connected photovoltaic system. The proposed method in $\alpha\beta$ plane uses the patterns of trajectory image as the characteristic parameters and differenciates a normal state and open states of switches. Then, the result is made into tree. The tree is composed of 21 fault patterns and the parameters to classify faults are a shape, a trajectory area, a distributed angle, and a typical vector angle. The result shows that the proposed method diagnosed fault diagnoses, classified correctly them, and made a pattern tree by fault patterns.

태양광 발전 시스템은 태양 전지에 의해 태양 에너지를 직류로 변환하며 이 직류를 인버터에 의해 일반 가정에서 사용되는 교류로 변환한다. 최근 태양광 발전 시스템의 전력량이 증가하는 추세이므로 대전력을 전송하는 3상 시스템에 관한 연구가 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 태양광전지의 계통연계 시스템의 3상 PWM 인버터의 스위치 개방이 발생했을 경우, 이를 간단히 검출하고 식별하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 $\alpha\beta$ 평면에서 전류 벡터의 궤적 영상의 패턴을 특징으로 하여 정상상태와 각각의 고장 상태를 결정하여 트리로 분류한다. 트리 구성을 위한 고장패턴은 21개로 하였으며 고장 패턴트리의 결정을 위한 분류 파라메터는 모양, 영역, 분산각, 벡터각으로 하였다. 각 고장에 대하여 제안방법의 성능을 평가한 결과 모든 고장요소를 정확히 분류하여 패턴 트리를 구성하였다.
