Correct and fast detection of a micro-grid (MG) islanding is essential to the MG since operation, control and protection of the MG depend on an operating mode i.e., an interconnected mode or an islanding mode. When islanding occurs, the frequency of the point of common coupling (PCC) is not the nominal frequency during the transient state owing to the frequency rise or drop of generators in the MG. Thus, the active and reactive power calculated by the frequency domain based method such as Fourier Transform might contain some errors. This paper proposes an islanding detection algorithm for the MG based on the instantaneous active and reactive powers delivered to the dedicated line in the time domain. During the islanding mode, the instantaneous active and reactive powers delivered to the dedicated line are constants, which depend on the voltage of the PCC and the impedance of the dedicated line. In this paper, the instantaneous active and reactive powers are calculated in the time domain and used to detect islanding. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified under various scenarios including islanding conditions, fault conditions and load variation using the PSCAD/EMTDC simulator. The results indicate that the algorithm successfully detects islanding for the MG.

In this paper, a new speed sensorless control based on an instantaneous reactive power and a fuzzy PI compensator are proposed for the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drives. The conventional fixed gain PI and PID controllers are very sensitive to step change of command speed, parameter variations and load disturbance. Also, to the estimated speeds are compensated by using an instantaneous reactive power in synchronously rotating reference frame. In a fuzzy compensator, the system control parameters are adjusted by a fuzzy rule based system, which is a logical model of the human behavior for process control. The effectiveness of algorithm is confirmed by the experiments.

This paper presents a new speed sensorless control method of a permanent magnet synchronous motor based on instantaneous reactive power. The proposed algorithm is constructed by instantaneous reactive power in a synchronously rotating reference frame and is not affected by mechanical motor parameters, because mechanical equation is not used. The effectiveness of the proposed system is confirmed by the experimental results.

In this paper, conventional reactive power compensation is defined and instantaneous real control concept for shunt converters is proposed. This equipment incorporates the compensation function of harmonics at the distribution line by nonlinear load. These methodologies are applied to IEEE 13 distribution system with the modeling of nonlinear load using EMTEDC/PSCAD package. Simulation with EMTDC results presented to confirm that the new approach has better performance than those obtained by controllers based on traditional concepts of reactive power compensation.

This paper propose a sensorless control system of IPMSM with a adaptive back-EMF estimator and improved instantaneous reactive power compensator. A saliency-based back-EMF is estimated by using the adaptive algorithm. The estimated back-EMF is inputted to the phase locked loop(PLL) and the improved instantaneous reactive power(IRP) compensator for estimating the position/speed of the rotor and compensating the error components between the estimated and the actual position, respectively. The stability of the proposed system is achieved through Popov's hyper stability criteria. The validity of proposed algorithm is verified by the simulations and experiments.

This paper presents a new control method of single-phase active power filter (APF) for the compensation of harmonic current components in nonlinear loads. To facilitate the possibility of complex calculation for harmonic current detection of the single phase, a single-phase system that has two phases was constructed by including an imaginary second-phase giving time delay to the load current. The imaginary phase, which lagged the load current T/4 (Here T is the fundamental cycle) is used in the conventional method. But in this proposed method, the new signal as the second phase is delayed by the filter. Because this control method is applied to a single-phase system, an instantaneous calculation was developed by using the rotating reference frames synchronized to source-frequency rather than by applying instantaneous reactive power theory that uses the conventional fixed reference frames. The control scheme of single-phase APF for the current source with R-L loads is applied to a laboratory prototype to verify the proposed control method.

The Static var compensators(SVC) are intensively studied to realize high performance power equipment for electric power systems. Rapid and continuous reactive compensation by the SVC contributes to voltage stabilization, power oscillation damping, overvoltage suppression, minimization of transmission losses and so on. In this paper, instantaneous power vector theory which can expresses the instantaneous apparent power vector is proposed to control reactive power. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed by simulation studies.

DSTATCOM(distribution static compensator) is one of the custom power devices, and protects a distribution line from unbalanced and harmonic current caused by non-linear and unbalanced loads. Researches about DSTATCOM are mainly divided two parts, one is the calculation of compensation current and the other part is the current control. Conventional researches use a LPF(low pass filter) to eliminate ripple component at the calculation of compensation current. But this method has a problem that LPF's characteristics restrict the compensation performance of instantaneous active and reactive power. This paper proposes a calculation of compensation current using state observer that can be a counterproposal of conventional methods using LPF. Improved performance of instantaneous active and reactive power compensation was shown by experiments.

The parallel inverter is popularly used because of its fault-tolerance capability, high-current outputs at constant voltages and system modularity. The conventional parallel inverter usually employes active and reactive power control or frequency and voltage droop control. However, these approaches have the disadvantages that the response time of parallel inverter control is slow against load and system parameter variation to calculate active, reactive power, frequency and voltage. This paper describes a novel control scheme for power equalization in parallel connected inverter. The proposed scheme has a fast power balance control response, a simplicity of implementation, and inherent peak current limiting capability since it employes a instantaneous current/voltage control with output voltage and current balance and output voltage regulation. A design procedure for the proposed parallel inverter controller is presented. Futhermore, the proposed control scheme is verified through the simulation in various cases such as the system parameter variation, the control parameter variation and the nonlinear load condition.
