The new method is proposed to improve high speed detection of grid voltage phase and magnitude during a voltage dip due to a grid faults. Usually, A LPF(Low Pass Filter) is used in the feedback loop of PLL (Phase Locked Loop) system because the measured grid voltage contains harmonic distortions and sensor noises. so, a new design method of the loop gain of the PI -type controller in the PLL system is proposed with the consideration of the dynamics of the LPF. As a result, a better transient response can be obtained with the proposed design method. The LPF frequency and PI controller gain are designed in coordination according to the steady state and dynamic performance requirement. This paper shows the feasibility and the usefulness of the proposed methods through the computer simulation and the lab-scale experiments.

A power limiting algorithm is proposed for stable operation of grid-connected inverter in case of grid voltage unbalance considering the operation limit of inverter. During the voltage unbalance the control performance of Inverter. is degraded and the output power contains 120Hz ripple due to the negative sequence of voltage. In this paper, conventional dual sequence current controller is implemented to solve these problems using separated control of positive and negative sequence. Especially the maximum power limit which guarantees the maximum rated current of the inverter is automatically calculated as the instant grid voltage changes. As soon as the voltage recovers the proposed algorithm can return to the normal power control mode accomplishing low voltage ride through. Proposed algorithm is verifed using PSCAD/EMTDC simulations and tested experimentally at 4.4kW wind turbine simulator set-up.

This paper presents a method for DC voltage control of HVDC system connection of offshore wind farms. In the event of fault in AC grid, HVDC system need to meet LVRT regulations. When HVDC system meet LVRT regulation, unbalance is caused between power input and power output for DC link. Therefore, LVRT regulation lead to DC voltage increase of HVDC system. To control the DC voltage increase, the chopper resistor can be suggested. In this paper, DC voltage suppression is proposed using chopper resistor and de-loading. The effectiveness of the chopper resistor was verified using PSCAD/EMTDC.

Doubly Fed Induction Generator(DFIG) systems occupy the largest proportion of worldwide wind energy generation market. DFIG systems are very sensitive to grid disturbances especially to voltage dips due to the structure of the stator connected to grid. In the past, when a grid fault occurs generators are separated from grid(trip method) in order to protect the systems. Nowadays, due to the growing penetration level of wind power, many countries have made some requirements that wind turbines are required to have Low Voltage Ride Through(LVRT) capability during grid faults. In this paper, a flux tracking LVRT control strategy based on system modeling equations is proposed. The validity of the proposed strategy is verified through computer simulations.

각국의 계통연계 규정에서는 계통연계 인버터에 대한 계통 안정도 기여(Grid support)를 필수로 규정하고 있다. 그 중에는 계통의 저압 이상 발생 시 계통연계 인버터가 Fault를 발생하지 않고 계통과의 동기를 유지하며 지속 동작하는 Low Voltage Ride-Through(LVRT) 기능과 저압 이상에 대한 계통 기여를 위한 무효 주입 기능이 있다. 본 논문에서는 해당 기능들을 국내 LVRT 실증 단지에서 2MW ESS PCS를 통해 수행한 결과에 대해 서술한다.

The ride-through control of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) for the voltage sags on wind farms utilizing crowbar circuits by which the rotor side converter (RSC) is disabled has being reported in many literatures. An analysis and calculation of the transient current when the RSC is switched off are of significance for carrying out the low voltage ride through (LVRT) of a DFIG. The mathematical derivation is highlighted in this paper. The zero-state and zero-input responses of the transient current in the frequency domain through a Laplace transformation are investigated, and the transient components in the time domain are achieved. With the characteristics worked out from the linear resolving without modeling simplification, the selection of the resistance in the linear crowbar circuit and the value conversion from a linear circuit to a nonlinear one is proposed to setup the attenuation rate. In terms of grid code requirements, the theoretical analysis for the time constant of the transient components attenuation insures the controllability when the excitation of the RSC is resumed and it guarantees the reserved time for the response of the reactive power compensation. Simulations are executed in MATLAB/SIMPOWER and experiments are carried out to validate the theoretical analysis. They indicate that the calculation method is effective for selection of the resistance in a crowbar circuit for LVRT operations.

태양광과 풍력발전 등 분산전원의 대용량 발전이 기존 계통에 미치는 영향이 커짐에 따라, 계통 전압의 안정적인 유지를 위해 필요한 지원이 계통에 연계되는 분산전원들에게 요구되고 있다. 특히나 Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) 시에는 계통에서 탈락되지 않는 것은 물론이고, 계통전압 회복을 돕기위해 무효전력을 주입해야 한다. 이러한 사고 상황에서 계통에서 탈락되지 않고 계속적인 계통지원을 위해서는 빠르고 정확한 위상 추종이 필수적이다. 본 논문은 고조파에 강인하고 응답특성이 우수한 Low Pass Notch (LPN) PLL 기법을 LVRT에 적용하여 이의 우수함을 확인한다.

최근 풍력 발전이 시스템이 전체 전력망에서 차지하는 비중이 커짐에 따라 세계 각국에서는 LVRT(Low Voltage Ride Through) 규정을 제정하여 계통 연계된 풍력 발전 시스템이 전력망의 안정화에 부정적 영향을 미치지 않도록 하고 있다. 계통 전압 사고 상황에서 LVRT 규정을 만족 시키게 되면 발전기에서 발생된 유효전력과 계통으로 전달되는 유효전력 사이의 불균형으로 직류 링크전압이 상승하게 된다. 본 논문은 이러한 상황에서 계통연계 컨버터의 직류 링크전압을 일정하게 제어하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

As the global to increase the wind power penetration in the power system, grid-integration standards have been proposed for the stable integration of the large-scale wind farm. Particularly, the low voltage ride through function has been emphasized, as it relates to the voltage and reactive power control of the wind turbine and the rest generators. This paper proposes the non-wind power generator control method in order to improve the wind power penetration. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, the simulation study is implemented in the Jeju power system. It can improve the wind power penetration by the effective control of the control generators.
