This paper presents the modeling for islanded hybrid AC/DC microgrid and the verification of the proposed supervisory controller for energy management for this microgrid. The supervisory controller allows the microgrid system to operate in different power flows through the proposed control algorithm, it has several roles in the management of the energy flow between the different components of the microgrid for reliable operation. The proposed microgrid has both essential objectives such as the maximum use of renewable energies resources and the reduction of multiple conversion processes in an individual AC or DC microgrids. The microgrid system considered for this study has a solar photovoltaic (PV), a wind turbine (WT), a battery (BT), and a AC/DC loads. A small islanded hybrid AC/DC microgrid has been modeled and simulated using the MATLAB-Simulink. The simulation results show that the system can maintain stable operation under the proposed supervisory controller when the microgrid is switched from one operating mode of energy flow to another.

Microgrid is a convenient, reliable, and eco-friendly approach for the integration of Distributed Generation (DG) sources into the utility power systems. To date, AC microgrids have been the most common architecture, but DC microgrids are gaining an increasing interest owing to the provision of numerous benefits in comparison with AC ones. These benefits encompass higher reliability, power quality and transmission capacity, non-complex control as well as direct connection to some DG sources, loads and Energy Storage Systems (ESSs). In this paper, main challenges and available approaches for the protection of AC and DC microgrids are discussed. After description, analysis and classification of the existing schemes, some research directions including coordination between AC and DC protective devices as well as development of combined control and protection schemes for the realization of future hybrid AC/DC microgrids are pointed out.

Recently, more power facilities are needed to cope with the increasing electric demand. However, the additional construction of generators, transmission and distribution installations is not easy because of environmental problems and citizen's complaints. Under this circumstance, a microgrid system with distributed renewable resources emerges as an alternative of the traditional power systems. Moreover, the configuration of power system changes with more DC loads and more DC installations. This paper is written to introduce an idea of a genetic algorithm-based solution to determine the optimal capacity of the distributed generators depending on the types of system configuration: AC-link, DC-link and Hybrid-link types. In this paper, photovoltaic, wind turbine, energy storage system and diesel generator are considered as distributed generators and the feasibility of the proposed algorithm is verified by comparing the calculated capacity of each distributed resource with HOMER simulation results for 3 types of system configuration.

현재 도서지역에 도입되어 운용되고 있는 풍력-디젤 하이브리드 발전시스템에는 풍속과 부하변동에 대하여 적정범위의 전압주파수를 갖는 전력을 공급하기 위하여 고가의 제어가 복잡한 플라이휘일 또는 배터리 에너지저장장치를 설치운영하고 있다. 그러나, 본 논문은 이와 같이 비경제적이고 복잡도가 높은 에너지저장장치를 설치하지 않고, 풍속 및 부하변동에도 안정적인 운전이 가능한 영구자석형(PMSG: Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator) 풍력-디젤 복합발전시스템으로 구성되는 독립형 마이크로그리드의 운전제어 알고리즘과 모델링 방법을 제안하였다. 먼저, 부하 및 풍속변동에 관계없이 적정범위의 전압주파수를 유지할 수 있는 PMSG 풍력발전기의 운전제어 알고리즘을 제안하고, 이를 바탕으로 한 전가변속 운전이 가능한 PMSG, WT측 컨버터 및 Grid측 컨버터를 모델링하고, 이를 독립형 마이크로그리드에 적용하여 풍속 및 부하변화에 대하여 전압주파수가 적정범위내로 잘 유지됨을 입증하였다.

Recently, the interest in DC systems to achieve more efficient connection with renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and DC loads has been growing extensively. DC systems are more advantageous than AC systems because of their low conversion losses. However, the DC-link voltage is variable during operation because of different random effects. This study focuses on DC voltage stabilization applied in stand-alone DC microgrids by means of voltage ranges, power management, and coordination scheme. The quality and stability of the entire system are improved by keeping the voltage within acceptable limits. In terms of optimized control, the maximum power should be tracked from renewable resources during different operating modes of the system. The ESS and VSDG cover the power shortage after all available renewable energy is consumed. Keeping the state of charge of the ESS within the allowed bands is the key role of the control system. Load shedding or power generation curtailment should automatically occur if the maximum tolerable voltage variation is exceeded. PSIM-based simulation results are presented to evaluate the performance of the proposed control measures.

최근 세계적으로 에너지원의 고갈, 전력 수요 증가, 기후 환경 변화에 대처하기 위해 신재생에너지원을 활용한 마이크로그리드 개발의 필요성이 점증하고 있다. 특히 태양광 발전은 댁내에 설치하기 용이한 가장 일반적인 신재생에너지원의 하나로써 각광받고 있다. 하지만 태양광은 기후 변화(일사량 및 일조량의 변화)에 따라 출력이 불안정하다는 단점으로 인해, 균일한 전력품질을 제공하기 위해 해결해야 할 기술적인 과제를 가지고 있다. 이 문제의 해결책으로써 에너지저장장치(ESS)이 고려되고 있지만, 이것도 용량이란 한계점을 가지고 있다. 이 문제를 해결하는 방법으로써 본 논문에서는 2가지 기후 요소인 일조량과 일사량에 따른 태양광 발전량을 추정하는 복합적인 방법을 제안한다. 이 연구 결과는 ESS의 정적 용량을 설계하는데 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 댁내 전력 IT 시스템에서 DC/AC 전력 스위칭의 적절한 타이밍을 제공하는데 도움을 줌으로써 전력품질의 균일성을 유지할 수 있도록 해줄 것으로 기대된다.
