본 논문에서는 계통연계형 태양광 발전 시스템에서의 단독운전 검출 시뮬레이션 과정을 설명한다. 전기적 시스템의 단독운전은 계통이 끊어진 상태에서 분산 전원이 계속 동작하여 지역 부하로 전력이 공급될 때 나타나는 현상이다. 이러한 현상은 계통 보수 작업자의 안전을 위협하며, 다른 전기적 장비에 악영향을 미칠 수 있다. 단독운전 검출 기능은 계통과 연계된 분산전원과 같은 기능을 가진 태양광 발전 시스템에 사용되는 인버터에서는 주요한 요구사항이다. IEEE Std. 1547.1 "IEEE Standard Conformance Test Procedures for Equipment Interconnecting Distribuyed Resources with Electric Power Systems" 는 단독운전 검출을 필요로 하는 시스템의 테스트 요구사항을 정하고 있다. 본 논문은 단독운전 검출 알고리즘과 IEEE Std. 1547.1의 내용에 준한 인버터 시뮬레이션 테스트의 예를 보여준다. PSIM을 이용한 시뮬레이션 과정과 결과 파형의 분석을 토대로 계통연계형 인버터의 시뮬레이션 절차와 방법에 대해 알아본다.

As environmental issues have been taken seriously, the number of solar power generation facilities has rapidly increased in Korea. The voltage at the output stage of an inverter increases in a system that connects a small-capacity photovoltaic power generation to low-voltage power distribution. This degrades the quality of the low-voltage distribution system and adversely affects the load facility. In this study, a solution was obtained to increase the voltage at the output stage of the solar inverter according to the connection of the low-voltage distribution system. The voltage can be controlled by using reactive power factor control inverters. If the secondary tap is adjusted, the voltage can be adjusted to about 15 V, but there is a problem in that the tap is not adjusted unless the KEPCO distribution regulation voltage is out of the range of 220±13V. If the number of inverters is limited, the inverter can be started within the inverter overvoltage range. If it is connected to three phases, the voltage is distributed. The results indicated that power factor control and active voltage control inverters were easy to apply in the field.

Electric power quality in power transmission/distribution systems has considerably been deteriorated with the increase in the capacity of distributed generators (DGs). It is because inverters, connecting DGs to conventional power grids, tend to generate harmonic current and voltage. For harmonic mitigation, a large amount of research has been done on passive and active filters, which have been operating successfully in many countries. This paper, therefore, presents how to adopt the filters to an inverter-based DG, with considering a system consisting of both inverter-based DG and harmonic filters. In particular, this paper describes the simulation results using the PSCAD/EMTDC: firstly, the relationship between total harmonic distortion(THD) of current and output power of DG: secondly, the harmonic mitigation ability of passive and active filters. The system, furthermore, is obliged to satisfy the regulations made by Korean Electric Power Corporation(KEPCO). In the regulations, power factor should be maintained between 0.9 and 1 in a grid-connected mode. Thus, this paper suggests two methods for the system to control its power factor. First, the inverter of DG should control power factor rather than an active filter because it brings dramatic decrease in the capacity of the active filter. Second, DG should absorb reactive power only in the range of low output power in order to prevent useless capacity increase of the inverter. This method is expected to result in the variable power factor of the system according to its output power.
