Microgrid, which can be considered as an integration of various dispersed resources (DRs), is characterized by number of DRs interfaced through the power electronics converters. The microgrid comprising these DRs is often operated in an islanded mode. To minimize the cost, reduce complexity and increase reliability, it is preferred to avoid any communication channel between them. Consequently, the droop control method is traditionally adopted to distribute active and reactive power among the DRs operating in parallel. However, the accuracy of distribution of active and reactive power among the DRs controlled by the conventional droop control approach is highly dependent on the value of line impedance, R/X i.e., resistance to reactance ratio of the line, voltage setting of inverters etc. The limitations of the conventional droop control approach are demonstrated and a modified droop control approach to reduce the effect of impedance mis-match and improve the time response is proposed. The error in reactive power sharing is minimized by inserting virtual impedance in line with the inverters to remove the mis-match in impedance. The improved time response is achieved by modifying the real-power frequency droop using arctan function. Simulations results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the control approach.

전력계통의 과도안정도를 향상시키기 위해 종래에는 무효전력 보상장치를 설치하는 방법을 주로 사용하였다. 전통적인 무효전력 보상장치 중 SVC(Static Var Compensator), 변압기의 탭 변환기는 값이 싸고 기계적 스위칭으로 동작하여 속도가 느리다는 단점이 있고, 전력전자기술을 바탕으로 하는 STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator)은 고속으로 동작할 수 있는 장점이 있어 최근에 각광을 받고 있지만 고가의 장치라는 단점이 있다. 또한, 무효전력 보상장치에 기반한 전통적인 방법은 무효전력만을 공급하여 과도안정도를 향상시키기에 대형 전동기의 트립에 의한 급격한 전압붕괴를 막을 수 없다. 반면에 에너지 저장시스템은 무효전력과 유효전력을 동시에 공급할 수 있다. 즉, 선로사고로 인하여 부하에 유효전력의 공급이 감소하는 것을 ESS을 통한 유효전력을 공급함과 동시에 적절한 무효전력의 공급을 통하여 과도안정도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 전력계통의 사고 시 유효전력의 빠른 공급은 과도안정도 향상에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 대형 전동기 부하와 같은 큰 동적부하를 가지는 전력계통에 대하여 에너지저장시스템을 사용한 과도안정도 향상방법을 제시한다. 또한, 유효전력과 무효전력을 보상하는 방법이 기존의 방법보다 더 효과적으로 과도안정도를 향상시킴을 확인하였다.

교류 전기철도 급전시스템은 고조파 왜곡 및 무효전력으로 인한 역률저하 등의 전기품질 문제를 동반한다. 교류 전기철도 급전시스템의 고조파 전류 및 무효전력을 보상하기 위해 SRF(synchronous-reference-frame) 제어를 이용한 하이브리드 능동필터를 제안한다. 제안하는 하이브리드 능동필터 제어 알고리즘은 3상에서만 응용되었던 MSRF(multiple-synchronous-reference-frames)를 통해 저차 고조파를 추출하여 상대적으로 크기가 작은 고차 고조파를 능동필터에서 보상하고 크기가 큰 저차 고조파를 수동필터에서 보상하며, 능동필터 또는 수동필터만을 사용했을 때 생길 수 있는 문제점들 보완한다. 또한, 폐루프 무효전력 보상알고리즘을 통해 무효전력을 보상한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 하이브리드 능동필터의 SRF 제어 방법의 제어 성능과 타당성을 확인한다.

This paper presents a new approach for evaluating the transmission marginal loss factors (MLFs) considering the reactive power. Generally, MLFs are represented as the sensitivity of transmission losses, which is computed from the change of the generation at reference bus by the change of the load at the arbitrary bus-i. The conventional evaluation method for MLFs uses the only H matrix, which is a part of jacobian matrix. Therefore, the MLFs computed by the existing method, don't consider the effect of the reactive power, although the transmission losses are a function of the reactive power as well as the active power. To compensate the limits of the existing method for evaluating MLFs, the power factor at the bus-i is introduced for reflecting the effect of the reactive power in the evaluation method of the MLFs. Also, MLFs calculated by the developed method are applied to energy spot markets to reflect the impacts of reactive power. This method is tested with the sample system with 5-bus, and analyzed how much MLFs have an effect on the bidding/offer price, market clearing price(MCP), and settlement in the competitive energy spot market. This paper compared the results of MLFs calculated by the existing and proposed method for the IEEE 14-bus system, and the KEPCO system.

Induction motor requires a rotating magnetic for rotation. Current required to generate the rotating magnetic field is magnetizing current. This magnetizing current is associated with the reactive power. This reactive power must be supplied from source side. Therefore, the power factor of the induction motor is low. So, the capacitor is installed on the motor terminals to compensate for the low power factor. Power supply company has recommended to maintain a high power factor to the customer. If the capacitor current is greater than the magnetizing current of the motor, there is a possibility that the self-excitation occurs. So it is necessary to calculate the optimal capacity capacitor current does not exceed the magnetizing current. In this study, we first compute the no-load current and the reactive power of the induction motor and then calculates the limit of the maximum power factor without causing self-excitation.

This paper presents the load modeling process and bus load models for KEPCO power system. At first, load devices commonly used in KEPCO power systems were selected, and tested for measuring the voltage and frequency sensitivity of active and reactive power. From this test, about 40 voltage and frequency dependent load models have been obtained. The bus load composition rate for KEPCO power system has been determined using the various recent surveys and papers in order to develop the load model for a power system bus. To verify the accuracy of developed bus load models, the field test for measuring active and reactive power according to artificial variation of the bus voltage was performed at 8 substations for spring summer, autumn, winter cases. With data of this seasonal field test, more reliable bus load models for KEPCO power systems were developed.

본 논문은 전력계통 운용에 관한 합리적인 유효전력 및 무효전력 제어방법을 제시한 논문으로 무효전력 제어에 퍼지 선형계획법을 적용하여 목적함수의 값을 최소화하고 전체 계산시간을 단축시키고 운용의 융통성을 주기 위하여 시도한 논문으로 본 논문의 특징은 다음과 같다. 1) 유효전력 제어는 선로손실을 고려한 전력수급 평형식으로서 B정수를 이용하지 않고 전력 조류 방정식의 쟈코비 행렬의 스파스한 성질을 이용하여 간단히 계산하고 Lagrange함수법을 이용함으로써 계산시간을 단축시키고 기억용량을 대폭 경감시킬 수 있으며 반복계산을 하지 않고 직접 발전기의 최적부하 배분량을 결정할 수 있다. 2) 무효전력 제어시에도 목적함수로서는 총 선로손실을 취하지 않고 발전소의 총 연료비를 취하여 이를 최소화함으로써 보다 합리적인 경제성을 도모하였다. 또 이때 필요한 제어변수에 대한 발전기 출력시 모선전압의 감도행렬의 계산은 조류 방정식의 쟈코비 행렬의 스파스한 성질을 충분히 이용하여 계산시간을 단축시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 3) 특히 무효전력 제어시에는 많은 함수형 부등식 제약조건을 즉 모선전압의 상하한 제약조건을 일정한 값으로 고정하지 않고 어떤 허용 변동폭을 주어 조건을 완화하는 퍼지 선형계획법을 적용하므로써 확정적인 제약을 갖는 일반 선형계획법을 적용할 때보다 유리한 점이 확인되었다.

A new low cost hybrid active filter for thyristor-controlled rectifier load is presented to overcome the high cost problem of the active or the other hybrid active filters. The proposed hybrid active filter which consists of tuned (5th and 7th harmonics) LC passive filters, power factor improvement(PFI) capacitor bank, and active filter compensates power factor as well as harmonic currents. Since most of harmonic currents are filtered by the passive filter and most of reactive power is compensated by the PFI capacitor bank, the power rating of active filter can be minimized, resulting in cost minimization of the proposed hybrid active filter. A 300kVA hybrid active filter system is implemented and tested using 1MVA thyristor rectifier load to verify the operation and performance.

This paper presents a method for security constrained optimal reactive power planning in electric power systems. This method deals with corrective mode optimal reactive power dispatch in each (n-1)contingency system state and determination of the location and amount of reactive sources in preventive mode. In this paper the proposed scheme uses Benders decomposition method to determine the proper amount and location of reactive support in order to maintain a proper voltage profile and minimize active power transmission losses. This method is tested on IEEE 30 bus test system to prove effectiveness.

This paper presents a transfer capability enhancement process using VSC HVDC system which can control active power as well as reactive power. The transfer capability is constrained by stability like voltage stability as well as thermal rating of power system components. Transfer capability of the power system limited by these constraints may be enhanced by reactive power control ability and active power flow control ability of the VSC HVDC system. To enhance the transfer capability of the system using VSC HVDC, selection of the HVDC installation site is performed. In this work, power zones which consist of major power plants and their sinks are identified using power tracing and distribution factor. Alternative route of major AC transmission line in the power zone is identified as VSC HVDC system.
