본 논문에서는 계통망 사업자의 High Voltage Ride-Through(HVRT) 기능 요구조건을 만족하며, 정상상태에서의 손실을 최소화할 수 있는 Type 4 풍력발전기의 직류단 전압 설계 방법을 제안한다. 대용량 해상 풍력 발전에 사용되는 Type 4 풍력발전기는 전력 계통과 연계된 컨버터와 풍력 발전기와 연계된 컨버터가 직류단을 공유하는 Back-to-Back 컨버터 형태이다. Type 4 풍력발전기에서 HVRT 조건인 계통 고전압 사고가 발생한 경우 사고 전압 크기에 비해 직류단 전압이 부족하다면 과변조로 인해 계통측 컨버터의 전류 제어기가 원활하게 동작되지 못한다. 따라서 HVRT 기능을 만족하기 위해서는 고전압 사고의 전압 크기를 기준으로 직류단 전압을 설계해야 한다. 그러나 직류단 전압의 크기의 증가는 정상상태에서의 컨버터 손실 증가를 야기하므로, 직류단 전압을 크게 설계하였을 때 증가될 손실에 대한 고려가 포함되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 사고 전압의 크기와 발생 손실이 고려된 직류단 전압을 설계하는 방법에 대해 설명하고, 제안하는 설계 방법의 타당성을 2MVA급 Type 4 풍력발전기의 PSCAD 모델 기반 HVRT 기능 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

Based on the inherent relationship between dc-bus voltage and grid feeding active power, two dc-bus voltage regulators with different references are adopted for a grid-connected PV inverter operating in both normal grid voltage mode and low grid voltage mode. In the proposed scheme, an additional dc-bus voltage regulator paralleled with maximum power point tracking controller is used to guarantee the reliability of the low voltage ride-through (LVRT) of the inverter. Unlike conventional LVRT strategies, the proposed strategy does not require detecting grid voltage sag fault in terms of realizing LVRT. Moreover, the developed method does not have switching operations. The proposed technique can also enhance the stability of a power system in case of varying environmental conditions during a low grid voltage period. The operation principle of the presented LVRT control strategy is presented in detail, together with the design guidelines for the key parameters. Finally, a 3 kW prototype is built to validate the feasibility of the proposed LVRT strategy.

As the penetration of different types of renewable energy sources (RES) and energy storage systems (ESS) increases, the importance of stability in AC microgrid is being emphasized. Especially, RES and ESS which are operated using power electronics have difference in output characteristics according to control structures. When faults like single-line-to-ground fault or islanding operation occur, this means that a fault should be interpreted in different way. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze fault characteristics in AC microgrid in case of grid-connected mode and standalone mode. In this paper, the fault analysis for AC microgrid is carried out using PSCAD/EMTDC and an overvoltage problem and the countermeasures were proposed.

본 논문에서는 미국의 분산전원 연계용 PCS에 적용되는 Grid Code인 IEEE1547 Amendment의 fault ride-through에 대해 기술한다. IEEE 1547은 2014년 Amendment가 발행되었으며, 전압/주파수에 대한 사고판단 능력이 업데이트 되어 fault ride-through의 범위가 변경되었다. 개정된 IEEE1547a의 기준을 분석하고, 이를 적용한 fault ride-through 기능을 PSIM 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다.

A large wind farm should satisfy the requirements for a grid and accomplish the optimization of the wind farm system. In that point of view, the wind farm intertie protection system, which must consider the Fault Ride-Through (FRT) requirement for more reliable protection, should be improved. This paper proposes a modified distance relay suitable for protection of a wind farm intertie considering a FRT requirement. The frequency change is used to discriminate the intertie fault from a outside zone fault. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified using a PSCAD/EMTDC simulator.

In power grid, in order to level out the generation with demand, up-gradation of the system is occasionally required. This will lead to more fault current levels. However, upgrading all the protection instruments of the system is both costly and extravagant. This issue could be dominated by using Smart Fault Current Controller (SFCC). While the impact of Fault current Limiters (FCL) in various locations has been studied in different situations for years, the performance of SFCC has not been investigated extensively. In this research, SFCC which has adopted the characteristics of a full bridge thyristor rectifier with a superconducting coil is applied to three main locations such as load feeder, Bus-tie position and main feeder location and its behavior is investigated through simulation in presence and absence of small Distributed Generation unit (DG). The results show a huge difference in limiting the fault current when using SFCC.

The increase of fault current due to larger power demand has caused the capacity of power machines in grid to increase. To protect the power system effectively from the larger fault current, several countermeasures have been proposed. Among them, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been expected as one of the most effective solutions. Therefore, to introduce SFCL into power distribution system, the analysis on protection in power distribution system with SFCL is essential. In this paper, the problems of the protective coordination in power distribution system with SFCL were described.

The application of fault current limiter(FCL) reduces power system fault current for circuit breaker to operate properly due to reduced fault current. Also FCL reduces through fault current to the power system equipments. But FCL has changed power system parameters for short time, before application the magnitude of register, triggering current and protective relay coordination have to be studied. In this paper we will examine protective relay coordination with FCL. And propose better solution to assist improving of power system operation through the application of FCL.

In this paper we reported the characteristics of 1 line, 2 lines and 3 lines-to-ground fault of matrix-type SFCLs (MFCLs) and the electromagnetic field distribution of reactors for MFCLs under the same cases of ground faults. To do this, we fabricated MFCLs with 6 reactors for 3 phases. Each reactor had the length of 270 mm and diameter of 80 mm. 6 reactors were made by Bakelite. We reported experimental results, including fault currents, fault voltages and magnetic field distribution according to phase differences between each phase. We confirmed that experimental results will be useful in next future plan for real power grid.

This paper describes the effect of the interconnected wind turbine generators on fault current level of distribution networks. Distributed generator(DG) interconnected with grid can supply the power into a power network not only the normal conditions, but also the fault conditions of distribution network. If the fault happened in the distribution power line with DG, the fault current level measured in a relaying point might be higher than that of distribution network without wind turbine generator due to the contribution of wind farm. Consequently, it may destroy the conventional protective devices applied in the distribution network with DG. Simulation results shows that the current level of fault happened in the power line with DG depends on the power output of DG.
