This paper proposes an active islanding detection method for the BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) with 3-phase inverter which is connected to the AC grid. The proposed method adopts the DDSRF (Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame) PLL (Phase Locked-Loop) so that the independent control of positive-sequence and negative-sequence current is successfully carried out using the detected phase angle information. The islanding state can be detected by sensing the variation of negative-sequence voltage at the PCC (Point of Common Connection) due to the injection of 2-3% negative-sequence current from the BESS. The proposed method provides a secure and rapid detection under the variation of negative-sequence voltage due to the sag and swell. The feasibility of proposed method was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC and experimental analyses with 5kW hardware prototype for the benchmark circuit of islanding detection suggested by IEEE 1547 and UL1741. The proposed method would be applicable for the secure detection of islanding state in the grid-tied Microgrid.

This paper studies the performances of five typical Phase-locked Loops (PLLs) for distorted and unbalanced grid, which are the Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame PLL (DDSRF-PLL), Double Second-Order Generalized Integrator PLL (DSOGI-PLL), Double Second-Order Generalized Integrator Frequency-Lock Loop (DSOGI-FLL), Double Inverse Park Transformation PLL (DIPT-PLL) and Complex Coefficient Filter based PLL (CCF-PLL). Firstly, the principles of each method are meticulously analyzed and their unified small-signal models are proposed to reveal their interior relations and design control parameters. Then the performances are compared by simulations and experiments to investigate their dynamic and steady-state performances under the conditions of a grid voltage with a negative sequence component, a voltage drop and a frequency step. Finally, the merits and drawbacks of each PLL are given. The compared results provide a guide for the application of current control, low voltage ride through (LVRT), and unintentional islanding detection.

본 논문은 계통과 연계된 3상 전압원 인버터를 기반으로 한 BESS의 능동 단독 운전 검출 방법을 제안한다. 계통 전압의 불평형에서도 안정적으로 위상을 추종할 수 있는 DDSRF_PLL(Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame_PLL)방식을 적용 하였으며, 검출된 위상각 정보를 통해 정상분 전류 제어기와 역상분 전류 제어기를 독립적으로 제어할 수 있게 된다. 이를 위해 IEEE 1547과 UL1741에서 제시하는 단독 운전 기준 시험 회로를 구성하여 PSCAD/EMTDC 소프트웨어를 통한 시뮬레이션과 5kw프로토타입 하드웨어 장치를 통해 제안된 단독 운전 검출 방법을 검증하였다.
