AC 방식 마이크로그리드는 다양한 DC/AC 인버터를 AC 네트워크에 연결하여, DC 방식 마이크로그리드의 약점을 극복 하고 있다. 그러나 소규모 마이크로그리드에서 일반적으로 발생하는 심각한 부하 불평형 현상에 의하여, AC 마이크로그리드 시스템의 성능을 약화시킬 수 있다. 이것은 마이크로그리드 내의 불평형 부하로 인하여 상별 에너지 흐름과 전압조정기능이 제한되기 때문이다. 이러한 불평형 전압문제를 해결하기 위하여, 3상 4-Leg 방식의 인버터가 제안되고 있지만, 이를 안정적으로 운용할 수 있는 제어알고리즘이 미비한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 부하 불평형에 의해서 발생하는 인버터의 전압 불평형 문제를 해결하고 안정적으로 제어하기 위하여 d-q제어를 기반으로 3상4선식 인버터의 각상 개별제어 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한, 이 알고리즘을 바탕으로 Matlab/Simulink를 이용하여 4-Leg 방식의 전압제어기 모델링을 수행하였다. 이 모델링과 250KW급 시험장치를 바탕으로 인버터의 출력전압 제어특성을 분석한 결과, 정상상태에서는 기존의 방식과 비슷한 특성을 보이지만, 과도상태에서는 제안한 각상 개별제어 방식이 기존의 방식보다 안정적으로 동작하여 제안한 방식의 유용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents an active and reactive power compensator for the wind power system with squirrel-cage induction generator. The output power of a wind power system changes irregularly according to the variation of wind speed. The developed system is able to continuously compensate the active and reactive power. The 3-phase inverter operates for the compensation of reactive power, while the DC/DC converter with super-capacitors operates for the compensation of active power. The operational feasibility of the proposed model was verified by simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC and the feasibility of hardware implementation was confirmed by experimental works with a scaled hardware model. The proposed compensator can be expected that developed system may be used to compensated the abrupt power variation due to sudden change of wind speed or sudden power-drop by tower effect. It can be also applied for the distributed generation and the Micro-Grid.

Global environmental concerns and the ever increasing need of energy, coupled with steady progress in renewable energy technologies, are opening up new opportunities for utilization of renewable energy resources. Distributed electricity generation is a suitable option for sustainable development thanks to the load management benefits and the opportunity to provide electricity to remote areas. Solar energy being easy to harness, non-polluting and never ending is one of the best renewable energy sources for electricity generation in present and future time. Due to the random and intermittent nature of solar source, PV plants require the adoption of an energy storage and management system to compensate fluctuations and to meet the energy demand during night hours. This paper presents an efficient, economic and technical model for the design of a MPPT based grid connected PV with battery storage and management system. This system satisfies the energy demand through the PV based battery energy storage system. The aim is to present PV-BES system design and management strategy to maximize the system performance and economic profitability. PV-BES (photovoltaic based battery energy storage) system is operated in different modes to verify the system feasibility. In case of excess energy (mode 1), Li-ion batteries are charged using CC-CV mechanism effectively controlled by fuzzy logic based PID control system whereas during the time of insufficient power from PV system (mode 2), batteries are used as backup to compensate the power shortage at load and likewise other modes for different scenarios. This operational mode change in PV-BES system is implemented by State flow chart technique based on SOC, DC bus voltages and solar Irradiance. Performance of the proposed PV-BES system is verified by some simulations study. Simulation results showed that proposed system can overcome the disturbance of external environmental changes, and controls the energy flow in efficient and economical way.

Solar water pumping system (SWPS) is reliable and beneficial for Indian farmers in irrigation and crop production without accessing utility. The capability of easy installation and deployment, makes it an attractive option in remote areas without grid access. The selection of portable solar based pumps is pertaining to its longer life and economic viability due to lower running cost. The work presented in this manuscript intends to demonstrate performance analysis of portable systems. Consequent investigation reveals PSWS as the emerging option for rural household and marginal farmers. This can be attributed to the fact that, a considerable portion (around 45.7%) of the country's land is farmland and irrigation options are yet to reach farmers who entirely rely on rain water at present for harvesting of the crops. According to census 2010-2011 tube wells are the main source for irrigation amongst all other sources followed by canals. Out of the total 64.57-million-hectare net irrigation area, 48.16% is accounted by small and marginal holdings, 43.77% by semi-medium and medium holdings, and 8.07% by large holdings. As per 2015-16 census data, nearly 100 million farming households would struggle to make ends meet. The work included in this manuscript, presents the performance of different commercial brands and different technologies of DC surface solar water micro pumping systems have been studied (specifically, the centrifugal and reciprocating type pumps have been considered for analysis). The performance of the pumping systems has been analyzed and data is evaluated in terms of quantity of water impelled for specific head. The reciprocating pump has been observed to deliver the best system efficiency.
