To satisfy the high voltage direct current (HVDC) grid connection demand for wind power generation system, a novel topology and control strategy of HVDC grid connection for open-winding permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind power generation system is proposed, in which two generator-side converter and two isolated DC/DC converters are used to transmit the wind energy captured by open winding PMSG to HVDC grid. By deducing the mathematic model of open winding PMSG, the vector control technique, position sensorless operation, and space vector modulation strategy is applied to implement the stable generation operation of PMSG. Finally, the simulation model based on MATLAB is built to validate the availability of the proposed control strategy.

This paper proposes a design of the three-parallel converter system and grid-connection technique for a PMSG based wind turbine systems. The back-to-back converter of the PMSG based wind turbine system is directly connected to the grid so that both the power devices and the filters are needed to have large power ratings. The three-parallel converter configuration can reduce the required power ratings of the devices and filters. However, the three-parallel converter can cause circulating currents. These circulating currents can be suppressed by sellecting proper inner inductance at each leg. An LCL filter design is used to meet the THD regulations. The latent resonance caused by the LCL filter is compensated by an active damping method without additional loss. The decline of the power quality caused by the unbalanced and distorted grid voltages is also compensated with an additional compensation algorithm. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed system and compensation methods are effective for the wind turbine systems.

The renewable energy sources is raising for use of grid connected systems, for which higher power quality requirements are being issued. A grid connected converter requires a LC-filter stage, this one is lightly damped for efficiency constraints. Hence, it is subject to resonance if excited by the converter current harmonics or pre-exciting grid voltage harmonics. In this paper, an active damping technique employing notch filter for damping of the resonance frequency is introduced. This technique doesn't need to additional sensors. In addition, it is simple to apply for various systems. Monitoring of the resonance frequency ensures the stable operation of the proper connection and disconnection of the grid. This paper proposes the estimating method of a resonant frequency to determine the cut-off frequency of the notch filter. This method is validated by both simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, discrete wavelet transform using a PV system covers how the detection of a islanding. Connection point occur exclusively in Grid when the grid voltage and current operation of the wavelet coefficients by changing features will determine if islanding operation. The proposed method has simple computation and fast decision time has the advantage. DSP-based controller through the experiment proved the validity of the proposed method.

This paper presents the off-grid PV-ESS system of sequential voltage control method applied to OR logic gate. The conventional off-grid PV-ESS system with the low-voltage series connection has problems due to capacity expansion. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a noble PV-ESS system with high efficiency and low cost by applying sequential voltage control technique of the high-voltage series connection of analog circuit type. The input voltage of DC to AC inverter can be converted from the low-voltage by the combinations of series connection of the conventional cascaded 24V solar cell unit modules to the high-voltage of 384V in battery. The output voltage of the battery was 384V as the each input voltage of three phase DC to AC inverter, and the each output voltage of three phase 10kW DC to AC inverter is designed to be AC380V@60Hz as the line to line rms voltage value. To prove the validity of the theoretical analysis by PSIM simulation, the operating characteristics of sequential voltage control system with OR logic gate were confirmed through experiment results.

This paper proposes a new islanding detection method for a grid-connected photovoltaic system. It is based on the fact that the equivalent harmonic components vary according to the grid connection status. The advantage of the proposed method is the reduced Non-Detection Zone and fast detection time. Also it can have the robust detection capability against grid disturbances. The theoretic analysis using grid-harmonic modeling is performed and verified by test result using 32-bit high performance DSP processor.

In this paper, the test results of medium-size(120 kW class) PV system which was installed in the Taeahn thermal power station of Korea Western Power Co., Ltd., were summarized for developing the practical technology to applicate high voltage grid connection PV system. The 120 kW photovoltaic system which was consisted of 1,300 modules, PCS, and 150 kVA transformer station has been operated since Aug. 05, 2005. For verifying the modeling results of PV system, the operation data was compared with modeling results which was executed commercial PSCAD/EMTD and Psim tools. An equivalent circuit model of a solar cell has been also used for solar array modeling. A series of parameters required for array modeling have been estimated from general specification data of a solar module. A PWM voltage source inverter(VIS) and its current control scheme have been analyzed by using P&O (perturbation and Observation) MPPT algorithms technique.

This study proposes a coupled inductor method for the parallel operation of a power conditioning system (PCS). When primary and secondary currents flow in the same direction in a coupled inductor, total flux and inductance are cancelled; when currents flow in opposite directions, each flux becomes an individual inductor. These characteristics are applied in the parallel operation of a PCS. To connect at a grid code, abnormal current, which is barred under the grid connection code, is blocked by using a coupled inductor. A design based on the capacity and current duration time of a PCS is verified through hardware implementation. Experiment results show the effectiveness of variance reduction.

There are many researches considering mobile devices as resources in mobile grids. However, the mobile device has some limitations: wireless connection and battery capacity. So, the grid operations using mobile devices have lower reliability and efficiency than those in fixed grid environments. In this paper, we propose a job migration scheme using mobile devices to overcome these limitations. The proposed job migration scheme predicts failure condition during execution and takes checkpoints. Then, if the failure occurs on mobile device during execution, the executing job can be migrated to other mobile device by checkpoint information. To perform the proposed migration scheme, we establish a mobile device manager on a proxy server and a status manager on a mobile device. Connection, wireless signal strength and battery capacity of mobile devices are identified through two managers. The simulation results show improvement of efficiency and reliability during execution.

This paper proposes two control strategies for the bidirectional Z-source inverters (BZSI) supplied by batteries for electric vehicle applications. The first control strategy utilizes the indirect field-oriented control (IFOC) method to control the induction motor speed. The proposed speed control strategy is able to control the motor speed from zero to the rated speed with the rated load torque in both motoring and regenerative braking modes. The IFOC is based on PWM voltage modulation with voltage decoupling compensation to insert the shoot-through state into the switching signals using the simple boost shoot-through control method. The parameters of the four PI controllers in the IFOC technique are designed based on the required dynamic specifications. The second control strategy uses a proportional plus resonance (PR) controller in the synchronous reference frame to control the AC current for connecting the BZSI to the grid during the battery charging/discharging mode. In both control strategies, a dual loop controller is proposed to control the capacitor voltage of the BZSI. This controller is designed based on a small signal model of the BZSI using a bode diagram. MATLAB simulations and experimental results verify the validity of the proposed control strategies during motoring, regenerative braking and grid connection operations.
