This paper describes a new method for the seamless operation mode transfer of a PCS with minimized voltage disturbance. The proposed method provides reduced STS turn off time after line fault and smooth mode change between current and voltage control of the PCS. The usefulness of the method is verified through simulations with the consideration of the time delay in detecting a line fault and SCR turn-off time.

This paper proposes an inverter for the grid-connected photovoltaic system based on the transformer-less inverter. This system consists of a high frequency converter bridge, high frequency transformer, diode bridge rectifiers, a DC filter, a low frequency inverter bridge, and an AC filter. The high frequency converter bridge switching at 20kHz is used to generate bipolar PWM pulse, and the high frequency transformer raise its voltage twice, which is subsequently rectified by diode bridge rectifiers to result in a full-wave rectified sine wave. Finally, it is unfolded by a low frequency inverter bridge to result in a 60Hz sine wave power output. Even though the high frequency link system needs more power semiconductors, a reduced size, light weight, and saved parts cost make this system more comparative than the other systems due to elimination of 60Hz transformer.

A new LCL filter design of a PCS with the consideration of fault current minimization is proposed. The magnitude of fault current is analysed with the variation of inverter side $L_i$, line side $L_u$, and filter capacitor $C_f$ under constant line side $THD_i$ of 5%. It is found that inverter side fault current reaches up to 200%~660% of the rated current with the variation of $L_i$. It is expected that the results can be applied to the detailed design of PCS filter.

This paper proposes DC offset current compensation method of transformerless fuel cell/PV PCS. DC offset current is generated by the unbalanced internal resistance of the switching devices in full bridge topology. The other cause is the sensitivity of the current sensor, which is lower than DSP in resolution. If power converter system has these causes, the AC output current in the inverter will generate the DC offset. In case of transformerless grid-connected inverter system, DC offset current is fatal to grid-side, which results in saturating grid side transformer. Several simulation results show the difficulties of detecting DC offset current. Detecting DC offset current method consists of the differential amplifiers and PWM is compensated by the output of the Op amp circuit with integrator controller. PSIM simulation verifies that the proposed method is simpler and more effective than using low resolution current sensor alone.

The AC/DC converter, which connects the AC grid to the DC grid in the microgrid, is a critical component in power sharing and stable operation. Sometimes the AC/DC converters are connected in parallel to increase the transmission and reception capacity. When connected in parallel, circulating current is generated due to line impedance difference or sensor error. As a result of circulating current, there is deterioration and loss in particular PCS(Power Conversion System). In this paper, we propose droop control with novel adaptive virtual impedance for reducing circulating current. Feasibility of proposed algorithm is verified by PowerSIM simulation.

계통연계형 태양광 시스템을 구성하고 있는 전력변환장치인 PCS(power conditioning system)는 일반적으로 그 내부에 입력전력 평활용 Capacitor, DC-DC Converter, DC link Capacitor, DC-AC Inverter 및 L-C Filter 등으로 구성된다. 이러한 태양광 시스템의 구성은 주로 태양광 어레이와 PCS의 DC-DC Converter 및 DC-AC Inverter의 수와 연결 방법에 따라 여러 가지로 구성할 수가 있다. 본 논문에서 제안할 시스템의 구성은 하나의 태양광 어레이를 다수의 계통연계형 태양광 PCS가 공유하는 형태인데, 이러한 시스템의 주요 장점은 첫째, 일사량에 따라 각각의 PCS가 모두 정격에서 운전하도록 하여 변환효율을 개선할 수 있다는 점과 둘째, 태양광 어레이의 용량 확장에 따른 PCS 장치의 용이한 확장성 그리고 셋째, 연결되어 있는 다수의 PCS 중 하나의 태양광 PCS가 고장으로 인하여 유지 및 보수가 필요할 때에도 그 외의 다른 정상적인 태양광 PCS는 지속적인 발전이 가능한 장점 등을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 태양광 어레이의 출력을 공유하는 병렬운전용 태양광 PCS의 구성에 대하여 연구하고, 그 병렬운전기법을 제시하여 이에 대한 타당성을 시뮬레이션으로 검증하고자 한다.
