Abstract

Recently, micro-grids based on a CVCF inverter have been replacing diesel generators to reduce CO2 emissions in island areas with the increase of renewable energy sources. Stable operation methods are also being researched. These micro-grids may cause energy sinking if the total output of renewable energy sources is larger than the total customer loads. In the case of energy sinking, the voltage of a CVCF battery could rapidly increase according to the condition of SOC, and blackout could occur in the micro-grid due to the operation of a protection device in a CVCF inverter. Therefore, this paper analyzes the operation characteristics of a CVCF-inverter-based micro-grid when energy sinking occurs and proposes a transient operation strategy to prevent shut-down of the CVCF inverter. A test device of a 30-kW CVCF-inverter-based micro-grid was implemented, and the transient operation characteristics for the energy sinking phenomenon are presented. The simulation results confirm that blackout can be properly prevented according to the conditions of SOC and voltage in a CVCF battery.

최근, 도서지역의 신재생에너지전원 및 ESS의 도입이 확대되면서, 이산화탄소 배출의 저감을 위하여, 디젤발전기 대신 CVCF 인버터가 주 전원인 Micro-grid를 안정적으로 운용하는 방안들이 연구되고 있다. 그러나, CVCF 인버터 기반의 Micro-grid에서는 전체 부하보다 신재생에너지전원의 출력이 큰 경우에 에너지 Sinking(과도상태) 현상이 발생하게 된다. 이 때, CVCF 인버터용 배터리의 SOC 상태에 따라, 배터리 전압이 급격히 상승하여, 인버터의 과전압 보호동작에 의해 CVCF 인버터가 탈락되어 Micro-grid 전체 계통에 정전을 유발할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 CVCF 인버터를 기반으로 한 도서지역용 Micro-grid의 안정적인 운용을 위하여, 에너지 Sinking이 발생한 경우의 운용특성을 분석하고, CVCF 인버터가 에너지 Sinking 시에 탈락되는 것을 사전에 방지할 수 있는 Micro-grid의 과도상태 운용전략을 제안한다. 또한, CVCF 인버터, 태양광전원, 수용가부하로 구성된 30kW급 Micro-grid 시험장치를 구현하여, 실 계통에서의 에너지 Sinking에 의한 CVCF 인버터 기반 Micro-grid의 과도상태 시 운용특성을 제시한다. 한편, 30kW급 시험장치와 제안한 운용전략을 바탕으로 Micro-grid의 과도상태 운용특성을 분석한 결과, CVCF 인버터용 배터리의 전압과 SOC에 따라 인버터가 탈락하는 과도상태를 사전에 방지할 수 있어, 본 논문의 유용성을 확인하였다.
