This paper analyses the power flow of a three-feeder/multi-bus distribution system by a custom Generalized Power Quality Conditioner (GUPQC). The GUPQC has been realized by three voltage source converters (VSCs) coupled back-to-back through a common DC-link capacitor on the DC-side. One feeder was controlled by the shunt compensator, whereas each of the other two feeders was controlled by the proposed novel series compensator. The GUPQC has the capability to simultaneously compensate voltage and current quality problems of a multi-bus/three-feeder distribution system. Besides that, the power can be transferred from one feeder to other feeders to compensate for poor power quality problems. Extensive simulation studies were carried out by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software to establish the ability of the GUPQC to improve power quality of the distribution systems under distorted supply voltage conditions.

A novel integrated optimization method based on the Generalized Bender’s Decomposition (GBD) is proposed to combine both generation and transmission expansion problems. Most of existing researches on the integrated expansion planning based on the GBD theory incorporate DC power flow model to guarantee the convergence and improve the computation time. Inherently the GBD algorithm based on DC power flow model cannot consider variables and constraints related bus voltages and reactive power. In this paper, an integrated optimization method using the GBD algorithm based on a linearized AC power flow model is proposed to resolve aforementioned drawback. The proposed method has been successfully applied to Garver’s six-bus system and the IEEE 30-bus system which are frequently used power systems for transmission expansion planning studies.

현대의 전자 장치는 안정적인 전력 공급을 위해 DC-DC Converter 등의 스위칭 전원을 사용하고 있다. 직류전원을 필요로 하는 통신장치는 안정적 동작과 높은 효율을 유지하기 위해 DC-DC Converter 등의 스위칭 전원의 사용이 불가피하며, 이는 에너지 절약이라는 시대적 요구에 부응하여 급속히 그 응용이 확산되고 있다. 이와같은 DC-DC Converter를 설계할 때는 각각의 동작 특징을 정확히 검토할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 DC-DC Converter의 종류별 특성과 적용 분야 및 용도 분석을 통해 활용 분야를 파악하고, DC-DC Converter의 기본적 형태인 Buck type Converter를 선정하여 회로 설계 및 시뮬 레이션을 통해 이론적인 해석치과 설계치를 비교하였다.

Based on the inherent relationship between dc-bus voltage and grid feeding active power, two dc-bus voltage regulators with different references are adopted for a grid-connected PV inverter operating in both normal grid voltage mode and low grid voltage mode. In the proposed scheme, an additional dc-bus voltage regulator paralleled with maximum power point tracking controller is used to guarantee the reliability of the low voltage ride-through (LVRT) of the inverter. Unlike conventional LVRT strategies, the proposed strategy does not require detecting grid voltage sag fault in terms of realizing LVRT. Moreover, the developed method does not have switching operations. The proposed technique can also enhance the stability of a power system in case of varying environmental conditions during a low grid voltage period. The operation principle of the presented LVRT control strategy is presented in detail, together with the design guidelines for the key parameters. Finally, a 3 kW prototype is built to validate the feasibility of the proposed LVRT strategy.

This paper presents a fuzzy logical control method to implement an on-line optimum efficiency control for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. This method real-timely adjusts the output voltage of the inverter system to achieve the optimum running efficiency of the whole system. At first, the input power is calculated during the steady state in the process of efficiency optimizing. To exactly estimate the steady state of the system, this section needs check up the speed setting on timely. The second section is to calculate input power of dc-bus. The exact measurement of the voltage and current is the vital point to acquire the input power. The third section is the fuzzy logic control unit, which is the key of the whole drive system. Based on the change of input power of dc-bus and output voltage, the variable of output voltage is gained by the fuzzy logical unit. With the on-line optimizing. the whole system call fulfill the minimum input power of dc-bus on the running state. The experimental result proves that the system applied the adjustable V/f control method and the efficiency-optimizing unit possesses optimum efficiency, and it is a better choice for simple variable speed applications such as fans and pump.

In this study, we present the DPS system which is consist of several converters in parallel and supply the power to the load. The characteristics of the DPS using AC-bus or DC-bus, and load current sharing technique are discussed. We apply these techniques to the high-power paralleled DC/DC converter, and present the design requirements considered in the system.

This paper deals with the harmonic reduction technique in square-wave inverters which can regenerate the dc power from dc bus line to ac bus line in substations for traction systems. To reduce the harmonics, two 6-pulse inverters are used for 12-pulse operation and zigzag-connected output transformers for eliminating the harmonics of 6(2m-1)$\pm$1 orders. And an ac filter is furnished at output side. In spite of the square-wave three-phase inverters, computer simulations show that the THDs of the output voltage and current are 2.55% and 0.554%, respectively.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a VBC (Voltage Bus Conditioner) system for a DC DPS (Distributed Power System). The advantages of the proposed VBC system are as follows: 1) the storage capacitor use smaller value than the conventional capacitive storage 2) the controller requires only one sensor to both damp the voltage transients and maintain the storage voltage. The performance of the proposed VBC system has been simulated and evaluated by Saber package.

In DC tracking power supply system, ground faults are currently detected by the potential relay, 64P. Though 64P relay detects ground fault, it cannot Identify the faulted region which causes long traffic delays and safety problem to passengers. Two new ground fault protective relay schemes that can identify the faulted region are presented in this paper. One is bus differential protective relay and the other is ground overcurrent protective relay. Both type of relays is similar in principle to the ordinary bus differential protective relay and the ground overcurrent relay used in other power system. In DC traction power supply system, since it is ungrounded, ground fault current is not big enough to operate those relays. To solve the problem, a current control device, called device 'X', is newly introduced in both system, which enables large amount of ground fault current flow upon the positive line to ground fault. Algorithms for these relays are developed and their validity are verified by EMTP simulation.
