In the face of global warming and resource depletion, a smart grid has been suggested as one way of contributing to abating the environment problems and increasing energy efficiency. Smart grids utilize renewable energy which has intermittent and irregular output power depending on weather conditions. In order to maintain stability and reliability of the power system, smart grids need to have complementary measures for the possible unstable system conditions. Cogenerating systems such as Combined Heat and Power(CHP) can be one good solution as it has capability of instantly increasing or decreasing output power. Therefore, this paper investigates the connectivity between Combined Heat and Power systems and smart grid technologies. The smart grid national roadmap formulated by South Korea Ministry of Knowledge and Economy and 'IEC Smart Grid Standardization Roadmap' are analyzed to extract related components of the smart grid for the CHP connection. Also, case studies on demonstration projects for smart grids with CHP systems completed or currently being implementing in the world are presented.

This paper investigates the droop control-based real and reactive power load sharing with a virtual inductor when the line impedance between inverter and Point of Common Coupling (PCC) is partly and unequally resistive in high-capacity systems. In this paper, the virtual inductor method is applied to parallel inverter systems with resistive and inductive line impedance. Reactive power sharing error has been improved by applying droop control after considering each line impedance voltage drop. However, in high capacity parallel systems with large output current, the reference output voltage, which is the output of droop controller, becomes lower than the rated value because of the high voltage drop from virtual inductance. Hence, line impedance voltage drop has been added to the droop equation so that parallel inverters operate within the range of rated output voltage. Additionally, the virtual inductor value has been selected via small signal modeling to analyze stability in transient conditions. Finally, the proposed droop method has been verified by MATLAB and PSIM simulation.

This paper analyze the bus voltage sags in the power distribution system with a small scale cogeneration system when the superconducting fault current limiter was introduced. Among the solutions to decrease the short-circuit current considering the locations of the small scale cogeneration system, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been announced as one of the promising methods to reduce the fault current because the installation of the small scale cogeneration system which increases the short-circuit current. According to the application locations of the small scale cogeneration system in a power distribution system, it has caused the variations of voltage sag and duration which depends on the change of the short-circuit current, which can make the operation of the protective device deviate from its original set value when the fault occurs. To investigate the voltage sag when a SFCL was applied into a power distribution system where the small scale cogeneration system was introduced into various locations, the SFCL, small scale cogeneration system, and power system are modeled using PSCAD/EMTDC. In this paper, the effects on voltage sags are assessed when the SFCL is installed in power distribution system with various locations of the small scale cogeneration system.

지속적인 전력수요 증가에 따라 대단위 발전설비가 증설되고 있다. 특히, 국제적인 친환경 기조에 따라 배전계통 내에 신재생 에너지를 기반으로 하는 분산전원이 급속히 확산되고 있다. 또한, 전력공급의 신뢰도 향상 및 계통 운영의 유연성을 위해서 배전계통이 망상 형태로 점점 복잡해지고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 변화는 사고시의 고장전류 크기를 증가시킨다. 따라서, 앞으로 고장전류는 현재 설치된 차단기의 차단 한계용량을 넘어설 것으로 예상된다. 이를 위한 해결책으로 보호설비의 교체나 용량증대 등을 들 수 있다. 하지만, 기술적 경제적인 측면을 고려해 볼 때 초전도한류기가 그 대안이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 초전도한류기의 최적 위치를 선정하는 기법을 제안한다. 최적 위치는 초전도한류기의 복합배전계통 내 설치 위치에 따른 설비별 고장전류의 저감에 기초해 설비별 고장율을 재산정하고 이를 통한 수용가별 신뢰도 향상을 신뢰도 민감도 지수를 이용하여 산정한다. 또한, 수지형 계통 및 망상형 계통에 제안한 초전도한류기의 최적 위치 기법을 적용함으로써 그 타당성을 입증하였다.

Grid-connected inverters (GCIs) with an LCL output filter have the ability of attenuating high-frequency (HF) switching ripples. However, by using only grid-current control, the system is prone to resonances if it is not properly damped, and the current distortion is amplified significantly under highly distorted grid conditions. This paper proposes a synchronous reference frame equivalent proportional-integral (SRF-EPI) controller in the αβ stationary frame using the parallel virtual resistance-based active damping (PVR-AD) strategy for grid-interfaced distributed generation (DG) systems to suppress LCL resonance. Although both a proportional-resonant (PR) controller in the αβ stationary frame and a PI controller in the dq synchronous frame achieve zero steady-state error, the amplitude- and phase-frequency characteristics differ greatly from each other except for the reference tracking at the fundamental frequency. Therefore, an accurate SRF-EPI controller in the αβ stationary frame is established to achieve precise tracking accuracy. Moreover, the robustness, the harmonic rejection capability, and the influence of the control delay are investigated by the Nyquist stability criterion when the PVR-based AD method is adopted. Furthermore, grid voltage feed-forward and multiple PR controllers are integrated into the current loop to mitigate the current distortion introduced by the grid background distortion. In addition, the parameters design guidelines are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Finally, simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the feasibility of the proposed control approach.

In recent years, Ulaanbaatar, a capital of Mongolia has witnessed major problem that air quality reaches hazardous level during the winter season. Coal combustion for heating of every house in "Ger" district is main reason. One way to reduce the air pollution is mass usage of electric heater. However, there are several difficulties such as overload and degradation of transformers and other equipment used in distribution and transmission systems as well as power shortage occurrence in evening peak period due to residential consumption. This study aims to contribute for solving the air pollution and power shortage problem in Mongolia. One possible solution could be distributed generation (DG) with photovoltaic (PV) penetration. In this study, PV with energy storage (ES) hybrid system to reduce peak load is analyzed. We proposed the suitable structure of PV-ES hybrid for Mongolian household, and suggested several operation scenarios. Optimal operation algorithm is carried out based on a comparison aspect from economical, grid impact and PV penetration possibility. The economic analyse shows annual income of 520USD, and has a payback period of 8 years for selected scenario. The proposed PV-ES system structure is verified by experimentation set on the building rooftop in city center. The suggested scenario is planned to apply for system in further research.

The power quality of Single Phase Grid-Connected Inverters (GCIs) has received much attention with the increasing number of Distributed Generation (DG) systems. However, the performance of single phase GCIs get degraded due to several factors such as the grid voltage harmonics, the dead time effect, and the turn ON/OFF of the switches, which causes the harmonics at the output of GCIs. Therefore, it is not easy to satisfy the harmonic standards such as IEEE 519 and P1547 without the help of harmonic compensator. To meet the harmonic standards a certain kind of harmonic controller needs to be added to the current control loop to effectively mitigate the low order harmonics. In this paper, the harmonic compensation is performed using a novel robust harmonic compensation method based on Digital Lock-in Amplifier (DLA). In the proposed technique, DLAs are used to extract the amplitude and phase information of the harmonics from the output current and compensate it by using a simple PI controller in the feedforward manner. In order to show the superior performance of the proposed harmonic compensation technique, it is compared with those of conventional harmonic compensation methods in terms of the effectiveness of harmonic elimination, complexity, and implementation. The validity of the proposed harmonic compensation techniques for the single phase GCIs is verified through the experimental results with a 5kW single phase GCI. Index Terms -Single Phase Grid Connected Inverter (SPGCI), Harmonic Compensation Method, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and Harmonic Standard.

2008년도 지식경제부의 전망에 의하면 신재생에너지전원 중 풍력발전의 보급전망은 2020년 37%, 2030년 42%에 달하고, 2012년부터 시행 예정인 신재생에너지 의무할당제(Renewable Portfolio Standard-RPS)의 도입으로 태양광 및 풍력 등의 신재생에너지가 향후 지속적으로 배전계통에 연계 운용될 것으로 예상된다. 현재 풍력은 배전계통에 전용선로로 연계되어 계통에 미치는 영향은 미미하지만, 3[MW] 이상의 대규모 풍력발전이 일반 배전선로로 확대 운용되면, 풍력발전 연계용 변압기 및 풍력발전기의 %임피던스에 의한 사고전류 변동으로 보호계전기(OCR, OCGR)의 오 부동작을 야기할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 대표적인 풍력발전기인 이중여자유도발전기(Double-Fed Induction Generator-DFIG)가 고압 배전선로에 연계되어 운전되는 경우, 3상단락, 2선단락 및 1선지락의 사고특성을 분석하기 위하여, 전력계통 상용소프트웨어인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 풍력발전기의 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 수행하고, 대칭좌표법을 통한 이론적인 수치해석의 결과치를 비교/분석하여, 제안한 수법의 유용성을 확인하였다.
