본고에서는 교류전원측에 발생하는 고조파를 제거하기 위한 정지형 능동전력필터에 관해 기술하였다. 능동필터는 기존의 L-C필터와는 달리 능동소자인 전류원을 사용하여 계통으로 직접 고조파보상전류를 주입합으로써 고조파를 상쇄시키는 장치이다. 이러한 정지형 필터가 갖는 특성을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 정지형 필터는 한대만으로 다수대의 L-C 수동필터를 부착한 것과 같은 효과를 발휘한다. 2. 필터가 전류를 주입한 만큼 고조파를 제거시키게 되므로 과부하로 되는 일이 전혀 없다. 3. 능동필터내 전류형 인버터에 인가되는 신호를 조작해서 제거하는 고조파의 차수들과 양을 얼마든지 가변시킬 수 있다. 4. 정지형 필터는 수동필터의 경우처럼 주파수와 L및C의 변동에 따라 고조파 억제특성이 변하지 않는다. 이상과 같은 장점을 지니는 정지형 필터는 설비비의 면에서도 수동필터보다 불리하지는 않을 것이다. 더구나 저렴한 대용량의 반도체소자들이 지속적으로 개발될 것으로 미루어 다음 세대의 교류필터로서 각광받을 것이다. 그리고 현존하는 능동필터에 무효전력보상의 기능까지 추가시켜 하나의 장치로 구성시키는 문제는 금후 이루어져야 할 좋은 연구과제라고 사료된다.

Recently as distributed source has increased, the distribution system has changed from unidirectional power flow to bi-directional power flow. This power flow causes the PCC voltage variation, which can adversely affect voltage sensitive loads. In this paper, the relation between the active power, reactive power and PCC voltage of the distributed source is analyzed, and the PCC voltage control scheme by reactive power compensation is proposed in the distributed source itself. In addition, limitations and conditions according to the standard for interconnecting distributed resources are specified and verified through simulation.

본 논문은 경제성 및 안정성을 유지하는 최적의 전압유지범위 설정을 위해 다양한 목적함수를 최적조류계산에 이용하였다. 경제성을 위해 융통전력 최대화와 유효전력 손실최소화를 목적함수로 하였고 안정성을 위해 무효전력예비력 최대화를 목적함수로 하였다. 또한 경제성과 안정성을 모두 반영하기 위해 다목적 함수를 구성하였다. 최적화기법을 실계통에 적용하였을 때 목적함수를 얼마나 잘 만족시킬 수 있는지 각종 지표를 통해 살펴보았다. 그리고 모니터링 모선의 전압 변동 추이를 살펴보고 이를 통해 경제성 및 안정성을 유지하는 최적의 전압유지 범위설정을 하는데 활용할 수 있도록 하였다.

This study proposed a reactive power variation (RPV) method equipped with positive feedback (PF) for detecting the islanding operation of distributed generation systems. The proposed RPV consists of the constant reactive power component and a certain reactive power term and uses the frequency deviation between the rated and the measured frequencies. The constant reactive power is injected from distributed generation system and power factor is to 0.9975 in grid-connected operation. PF is activated from generation of the frequency deviation and the injected reactive power is continuously increased due to PF when islanding occurs. Consequently, the increasing reactive power causes the point of common coupling frequency to deviate from the maximum/minimum threshold level. Performance of the proposed RPV is verified in a 1.7 kW T-type inverter, and the detection times are 53 and 150 ms.

As the grid-connected photovoltaic power conditioning systems (PVPCS) are installed in many residential areas, these have raised potential problems of network protection on electrical power system. One of the numerous problems is an Islanding phenomenon. There has been an argument that it may be a non-issue in practice because the probability of islanding is extremely low. However, there are three counter-arguments: First, the low probability of islanding is based on the assumption of 100% power matching between the PVPCS and the islanded local loads. In fact, an islanding can be easily formed even without 100% power matching (the power mismatch could be up to 30% if only traditional protections are used, e.g. under/over voltage/frequency). The 30% power-mismatch condition will drastically increase the islanding probability. Second, even with a larger power mismatch, the time for voltage or frequency to deviate sufficiently to cause a trip, plus the time required to execute a trip (particularly if conventional switchgear is required to operate), can easily be greater than the typical re-close time on the distribution circuit. Third, the low-probability argument is based on the study of PVPCS. Especially, if the output power of PVPCS equals to power consumption of local loads, it is very difficult for the PVPCS to sustain the voltage and frequency in an islanding. Unintentional islanding of PVPCS may result in power-quality issues, interference to grid-protection devices, equipment damage, and even personnel safety hazards. Therefore the verification of anti-islanding performance is strongly needed. In this paper, improved RPV method is proposed through considering power quality and anti-islanding capacity of grid-connected single-phase PVPCS in IEEE Std 1547 ("Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources to Electric Power Systems"). And the simulation results are verified.

The main purpose of this paper is to present a simulation model for assessing the impacts of a variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) on the distribution network and perform a simulation analysis of volt-age profiles and harmonics along the wind turbine installed feeder using the presented model. The modeled wind energy conversion system consists of a fixed pitch wind turbine and a permanent-magnet synchronous generator, in which a controllable power electronics inverter performs variable speed operation and reactive power output control. Impact analysis on voltage profiles and harmonics of a VSWT-installed distribution feeder is addressed and simulated in terms of steady state and dynamic behaviors. Various capacities and different modes of variable speed wind turbines are simulated and investigated. Case studies demonstrate how feeder voltages are influenced by capacity and control modes of wind turbines and changes in wind speed under various network conditions, and show harmonic impacts on the feeder. Modeling and simulation analysis is based on PSCAD/EMTDC a software package.

This paper deals with a powerful countermeasure for power quality problems caused by the operation of electrical arc furnace in bulk power systems. The rapid active load fluctuations of electrical arc furnace could produce several problems such as voltage flicker and active power oscillations. The typical methods using only the reactive power compensation have their own limitation in solving the power quality problems caused by active load variations. The coordination of both active and reactive power compensation is required to solve the power quality problems. This paper focuses on the impacts and the dynamic phenomena caused by the active load fluctuation. This paper proposes the optimal algorithm for the active power compensation based on the function of 1(n ratio and the concepts for the active power compensation. The results from a case study show that the proposed methods can be a practical tool for the power quality problems in power systems.
