This paper presents an implementation of a communication network in wind turbines, which exploits the power-line communication system (PLC). We used an inductive coupling unit and a multi-interface device to connect a data-communication terminal to the power line, to ensure that stable communication was possible at various electric current and voltage values of the generator. The results of the operation tests conducted on an operational wind turbine showed that the implemented PLC demonstrated a transmission rate of at least 43 Mbps with a 100% success rate. Moreover, a real-time image was transmitted. Thus, the system could be a useful alternative for implementing a communication network in wind turbines that does not require additional channels. Since the presented system is easy to implement, and can support various interfaces for data communication, it will be quite useful when a real-time monitoring system is launched in wind turbines.

본 논문에서는 매트릭스 컨버터를 이용하여 풍력을 에너지원으로한 영구자석형 동기 발전기의 계통연계방법을 제안하고 시뮬레이션으로 타당성을 검증한다. 풍속의 변화에 따라 영구자석형 동기발전기 속도가 변하며, 발전기 속도의 변화로 인해 발전전압의 크기와 주파수가 변한다. 이렇게 가변하는 발전 전압과 주파수를 계통전압의 고정된 전압 크기와 주파수로 변환하는 전력변환장치로써 기존의 PWM AC/DC/AC 컨버터 대신에 매트릭스 컨버터를 사용하여 직접적으로 AC-AC 변환을 한다. 매트릭스 컨버터가 가지고 있는, DC 링크단의 대용량 캐패시터가 필요없고; 양방향전력흐름을 제어할 수 있고, 사용자가 원하는 출력전압의 크기, 주파수, 역률을 임의로 제어 할 수 있는 이점을 사용하여 매트릭스 컨버터를 이용한 영구자석형 동기발전기의 계통연계에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과를 소개한다.

태양광발전은 수소에너지, 풍력발전 등과 더불어 화석에너지를 대신하여 전기생산을 할 수 있는 미래의 무공해 청정에너지 자원으로 주목받고 있다. 태양광 이용은 화석에너지에 비하여 경제성이 미흡하여 보급에 많은 애로가 있었으나 근래 지속적인 연구개발로 인하여 경제성확보에 많은 성과가 있었고 또 환경오염에 대한 대체에너지 개발에 대한 사회전반에 걸친 폭 넓은 이해를 바탕으로 이용분야를 점차 확대하고 있다. (중략)

In this paper, a technique that estimate the optimal capacity of the solar-wind hybrid power system for minimizing the total monthly electric power expenses is presented. The hybrid power system is assumed to be operated in connection with the utility power system and electric bill be paid for the power not covered by the hybrid system generation. Monthly generation cost is estimated based on total life-cycle cost analysis. The monthly utility power bill is assumed to be increased quadratically in proportion with the net utility power consumption which is the difference between the total monthly load minus the hybrid system generations. Test results demonstrate applications potential of the proposed technique.

This paper presents a neural network controller of a grid-connected wind energy conversion system for extracting maximum power from wind and a power controller to transfer the maximum power extracted into a utility grid. It discusses the modeling and simulation of the wind energy conversion system with the controllers, which consists of an induction generator, a transformer, a link of a rectifier, and an inverter. The paper describes tile drive train model, induction generator model and grid-interface model for dynamics analysis. Maximum power extraction is achieved by controlling the pitch angle of the rotor blades by a neural network controller. Pitch control method is mechanically complicated, but the control performance is better than that of the stall regulation. The simulation results performed on MATLAB show the variation of the generator torque, the generator rotor speed, the pitch angle, and real/reactive power injected into the grid, etc. Based on the simulation results, the effectiveness of the proposed controllers is verified.

The paper presents a modeling of the grid-connected wind turbine generation system on MATLAB/Simulink and aims to perform simulations for analysis of the system's characteristics. It performs a pitch regulation for control of the wind generator's output with respect to wind speed variation, and presents a relationship between interconnecting transformer's connections and fault current by reviewing the variations of fault current according to transformer connections in a grid-connected wind power generation system. It also investigates the effect of grounding methods of the interconnecting transformer's neutral point on fault current variations. The simulation results show the differences of fault currents, voltages and generator's characteristics for a line-to-ground fault according to interconnecting transformer's four different connections, and the differences of fault currents of the system according to grounding methods of the transformer neutral point. Therefore, the case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed simulation model on Simulink.
