전력계통에 연계하기 위해서 풍력발전시스템은 계속해서 변하는 풍속에 응동하여 적정한 출력을 계통에 공급할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 연계되는 전력계통에서 허용될 수 있는 수준의 주파수와 전압크기를 갖는 출력을 제공할 수 있어야 하며, 이를 위해서는 풍력발전의 적절한 출력제어가 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 동기발전기가 전압원인버터로 구성된 AC-DC-AC 변환부를 거쳐 계통에 접속되는 계통연계형 풍력발전시스템의 출력제어 전략을 소개하며, 이를 전자기 과도현상 해석 프로그램인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 모의하고 해석하였다. 블레이드를 통해 입력되는 풍속에 대하여 최대 에너지를 공급할 수 있도록 전압원인버터의 유효전력 출력제어가 이루어지며, 출력단 전압을 일정하게 유지하기 위한 무효전력 출력제어가 행해진다. 또한 60 Hz의 주파수 출력 및 고조파 저감을 위해 SPWM 스위칭 방식을 채택하였다. 풍속의 변동 및 부하의 변동에 대한 풍력발전시스템의 응동특성 및 출력변화를 모의하고 해석한다.

송·배전시스템에서 사고나 장애는 결코 완벽하게 피할 수 없으며, 단락 및 지락사고는 계통운영자의 노력에도 불구하고 발생한다. 최근 대용량 신재생 분산전원의 송·배전계통에 연계가 급증하여 계통 운영에 다양한 영향을 주고 있어, 이를 최소화하기 위해 FRT(Fault-Ride-Through)와 같은 연계기준을 마련하여 풍력터빈 또는 태양광 인버터가 계통의 중대 장애 시 연계유지 또는 신속한 계통분리 등을 원활히 수행하여 운영자가 안정적으로 계통을 운영할 수 있도록 지원을 하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 신재생 분산전원의 계통연계 기준인 FRT 조건의 충족여부를 적절하게 판단하기 위하여 동기페이저 측정을 하는 PMU(Phasor Measurement Unit)를 사용한 검출 시스템을 설계 및 구축하고 발전기 탈락으로 인한 계통사고 사례를 기반으로 제시한 시스템을 분석하고 평가한다.

This paper presents the methodology for optimal design of power grid for offshore wind power plant (OWPP) and optimum location of offshore substation. The proposed optimization process is based on a genetic algorithm, where the objective cost model is composed of investment, power loss, repair, and reliability cost using the net present value during the whole OWPP life cycle. A probability wind power output is modeled to reflect the characteristics of a wind power plant that produces electricity through wind and to calculate the reliability cost called expected energy not supplied. The main objective is to find the minimum cost for grid connection topology by submarine cables which cannot cross each other. Cable crossing was set as a constraint in the optimization algorithm of grid topology of the wind power plant. On the basis of this method, a case study is conducted to validate the model by simulating a 100-MW OWF.

A new system for evaluating the voltage management errors of distribution equipment is presented in this paper. The main concept of the new system is to use real distribution live-line voltage to evaluate and correct the voltage measurement data from distribution equipment. This new approach is suitable for a new Distribution Management System (DMS) which has been developed for a distribution power system due to the connection of distributed generation growth. The data from distribution equipment that is installed at distribution lines must be accurate for the performance of the DMS. The proposed system is expected to provide a solution for voltage measurement accuracy assessment for the reliable and efficient operation of the DMS. An experimental study on actual distribution equipment verifies that this voltage measurement accuracy assessment system can assess and calibrate the voltage measurement data from distribution equipment installed at the distribution line.

Synchronous generators and induction generators are mainly used in hydroelectric power generation. Synchronous generator is mainly applied to large hydroelectric plants but induction generator is applied to the small hydro power plants. Stability of induction generator is slightly less than the synchronous generator. However, induction generator has many advantages rather than a synchronous generator in terms of price and maintenance. So Induction generator is used primarily in small hydroelectric power station less than 1,000kW recently. Squirrel cage induction generator generates a high inrush current at the grid-connection. This high inrush current causes a voltage drop on the grid. In order to reduce the voltage drop and to analyze the power flow, the analysis for operating characteristics of the induction generator should be reviewed in advance. In this study, we analyzed the voltage drop and power flow analysis when a 1500kW induction generator is connected to the grid. The voltage drop is slightly higher than the acceptable range of distributed power supply voltage and the power flow of the generator is performed well.

In recent years, as the demand for distributed power has increased, the need for microgrids connected to grid power and renewable power generation sources has emerged. In the case of DC microgrids, reactive power does not occur, and power conversion losses are reduced compared to AC when connecting to the load and power grid[2]. With the revitalization of the DC distribution network industry, various studies and demonstrations of DC microgrids have been carried out. In the case of the recent unit distribution, its stability and effectiveness have been verified through empirical and research analysis. However, there is a lack of empirical tests to prevent chain accidents for the protection of the power grid circuits and the misoperation of the distributed power system caused by individual accidents when connecting various distributed power sources and power grids. In this paper, the operation plan of a stable multi-circuit DC distribution connection for the demonstration site was verified through the protection cooperation and operation algorithm for the stable linkage management of the DC distribution network composed of such a multi-circuit.

In this paper, the authors explore the modeling and control of a point absorber wave energy converter, which is connected to the electric grid via a power converter that is based on a linear permanent magnet synchronous generator (LPMSG). The device utilizes a buoyant mechanism to convert the energy of ocean waves into electrical power, and the LPMSG-based power converter is utilized to change the variable frequency and voltage output from the wave energy converter to a fixed frequency and voltage suitable for the electric grid. The article concentrates on the creation of a predictive control system that regulates the speed, voltage, and current of the LPMSG, and the modeling of the system to simulate its behavior and optimize its design. The predictive model control is created to guarantee maximum energy output and stable grid connection, using Matlab Simulink to validate the proposed strategy, including control side generator and predictive current grid-side converter loops.

Generator efficiency optimization is important for economic saving and environmental pollution reduction. In general, the machine loss can be reduced by the decreasing the flux level, resulting in the significant reduction of the core loss. This paper proposesan model-based controller is used to decrement the excitation current component on the basis of measured stator current and machine parameters and the q-axis current component controls the generator torque, by which the speed of the induction generator iscontrolled according to the variation of the wind speed in order to produce the maximum output power. The generator reference speed is adjusted according to the optimum tip-speed ratio. The generated power flows into the utility grid through the back-to-back PWM converter. The grid-side converter controls the dc link voltage and the line-side power factor by the q-axis and the d-axis current control, respectively. Experimental results are shown to verify the validity of the proposed scheme.
