The operational feasibility of proposed system was verified through computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. The feasibility of hardware implementation was verified through experimental results with a scaled hardware model. The proposed back-to-back converter can be widely applied for interconnecting the renewable energy source to the power grid.

For open-end permanent magnet synchronous machine(PMSM) with dual inverter system, where one inverter is connected to the source and the other is flying, the dc link voltage of the flying inverter can be boosted through the machine. For this reason, when compared with single inverter drive system, higher voltage can be applied to PMSM, and higher torque can be generated in the flux weakening region. In this case, however, active and reactive powers are separately supplied by each inverter to maintain the dc link voltage of flying inverter. Therefore, the required flux weakening control is different from the conventional method for a single inverter drive system. This paper proposes the novel flux weakening control method which maximizes the active voltage component in a dual inverter PMSM drive system. The proposed method was demonstrated and verified through experimental results.

This paper proposes a grid-tied power conditioning system for fuel cell, which consists of three-phase current-fed DC-DC converter and three-phase PWM inverter. The three-phase current-fed DC-DC converter boosts fuel cell voltage of 26-48 V up to 400 V with zero-voltage switching (ZVS) scheme, while the three-phase PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) inverter controls the active and reactive power supplied to the grid. The operation of the proposed power conditioning system with fuel cell model is verified through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. The feasibility of hardware implementation is verified through experimental works with a laboratory prototype with 1.2 kW proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack. The proposed power conditioning system can be commercialized to interconnect the fuel cell with the power grid.

A 30kW electrical power conversion system is developed for a variable speed wind turbine. In the wind energy conversion system(WECS) a synchronous generator with field current excitation converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. As the voltage and the frequency of the generator output vary according to the wind speed, a 6-bridge diode rectifier and a PWM boost chopper is utilized as an ac-dc converter maintaining the constant dc-link voltage with only single switch control. An input current control algorithm for maximum power generation during the variable speed operation is proposed without any usage of speed sensor. Grid connection type PWM inverter converts dc input power to ac output currents into the grid. The active power to the grid is controlled by q-axis current and the reactive power is controlled by d-axis current with appropriate decoupling. The phase angle of utility voltage is detected using software PLL(Phased Locked Loop) in d-q synchronous reference frame. Experimental results from the test of 30kW prototype wind turbine system show that the generator power can be controlled effectively during the variable speed operation without any speed sensor.

This paper deals with the dynamic analysis of variable speed wind power systems with doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG). First, the mathematical modeling of wind farm which consists of turbine rotor, DFIG, rotor side and grid side converter and control systems is presented. In particular, the equation for dynamic modeling of the DFIG and the AC/DC/AC converter is expressed as dq reference frame. And then, on the basis of mathematical modeling for each component of wind farm, dynamic simulation algorithms for speed and pitch angle control of wind turbine and generated active and reactive power control of the DFIG and the AC/DC/AC converter are established. Finally, Using the MATLAB/SIMULINK, this paper presents dynamic simulation model for 6MW wind power generation systems with the DFIG considering distribution systems and performs the dynamic analysis of wind power systems in steady state. Moreover, this paper also presents the dynamic performance for the case when the voltage sag in grid source and phase fault in bus are occurred.

This paper presents a study on the control of a power quality compensating equipment of electrical railway built in small-scaled to preliminary research. Because this compensating equipment is very complicated power electronics system, consisting of a scott transformer as a power source, four single phase inverters interconnected with DC-link capacitors and various electrical apparatuses, multiple controllers and control algorithms with high performance and reliability are needed. The major function of the compensating equipment is to manage reactive and active powers by using the four single phase inverters, so, the main control effort is focused on the power flow control which realized through the decoupling current control of the four inverters. Overall control system is designed with object oriented and analyzed on a Simulink window. The simulation results show that the design scheme is very effective for a complicated control system and the proposed controller has good performance.

In this paper, a new voltage collapse proximity index (VCPI) based on system apparent power loss sensitivity is proposed. The newly proposed index .lambda.$^{Sloss}$ reaches -.inf. at system voltage collapse point and can be represented by .root..lambda.$^{Ploss}$$^{2}$+.lambda.$^{Qloss}$$^{2}$ where .lambda.$^{Ploss}$ and .lambda.$^{Qloss}$ are the VCPI based on the system active and reactive power loss sensitivity respectively. These indices can be used for the system VAR investment. .DELTA.Q [VAR] is invested, step by step, by the priority of the VCPI index given for each bus. The indices use information from normal power flow equations and their Jacobians. Computation time for deriving .lambda.$^{Sloss}$ is almost same as that for power flow calculation. Two case studies prove the effectiveness of the .lambda.$^{Sloss}$ index and the VAR investment algorithm proposed.
