This paper proposes a simple adaptive sliding mode control algorithm for controlling a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) of a MW-class direct-driven wind turbine system. The proposed adaptive sliding mode controller does not require accurate knowledge of the PMSG parameter or turbine torque values. The proposed controller can accurately track the reference angular speed computed by the maximum power point tracking(MPPT) algorithm. Finally, this paper gives Matlab/Simulink simulation results to verify the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed adaptive sliding mode controller.

본 논문에서는 UPS 기능을 갖는 단상 태양광 발전 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안하는 시스템은 태양광 어레이 (photovoltaic array)에서 최대전력을 얻기 위해 MPPT (maximum power point tracking)를 수행하는 컨버터, 계통전원 상태나 태양광 발전량에 상관없이 부하에 정현파 전압을 공급하는 인버터, 태양광 어레이에서 발전된 잉여전력을 계통으로 전달하거나 부하에 필요한 전력을 dc bus로 공급하는 인버터, 정전시 dc bus에 전력을 공급하는 양방향 컨버터 (bidirectional converter)로 구성된다. 제안하는 시스템은 발전된 전력을 계통으로 전달할 뿐만 아니라, UPS (uninterruptible power supply)기능도 수행하는 시스템으로 계통전압이 불안정하거나 정전시에도 부하에 안정적이고 깨끗한 전압을 항상 공급할 수 있다. 각각의 인버터, 컨버터, 및 양방향 컨버터는 dc bus를 공유하며, dc bus의 전압에 따라 동작상태가 결정이 된다. dc bus중심의 제어는 dc bus전압을 안정적으로 유지시키며, 부하에 걸리는 전압의 변동을 최소로 하고 시스템의 디자인 및 제어를 단순화한다. 모든 알고리즘과 제어기를 하나의 마이크로 컨트롤러로 구현하였고 제안된 시스템의 우수성을 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

This paper analyzes the THD(Total Harmonics Distortion) according to output power fluctuation of photovoltaic(PV) systems using real time simulator. For being close to reality, the PV system including inverter and MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) which composed of closed-loop using real-time simulator are modeled. The change of irradiance and temperature of PV module is modeled to consider the change of weather. The various simulations according to the weather conditions are performed and THD is calculated at each condition. In this paper, the results by off-line simulation are compared with the ones of real time simulation.

In this paper a high efficiency soft switching boost converter is proposed for photovoltaic system. Using some resonant components, the circuit can be achieved the soft switching capability. Each of the switches in the proposed circuit performs ZV (Zero Voltage) or ZC (Zero Current) switching. Thus, the high efficiency characteristic can also be obtained, and then the size of the total system can be reduced. The operational modes of the verifying the effectiveness of the proposed circuit. As a matter of course, we will present the simulation results in this paper.

With significant development of power electronics technology, the proliferation of nonlinear loads such as static power converters has deteriorated power quality in power transmission and distribution systems. Notably, voltage harmonics resulting from current harmonics produced by the nonlinear loads have become a serious problem in many countries. Many photovoltaic power generation systems installed in building systems have harmonics that are the worst object for distribution systems as a utility interactive system, and it tends to spread out continuously. Proposed and implemented in this paper is a multi-function inverter control strategy that allows a shunt active filter function to the power inverter of the photovoltaic power generation system established on a building system. The effectiveness of the proposed system is demonstrated through the simulation of a hypothetical power system using PSCAD/EMTDC.

Because of the nature of wind, the output power of wind turbines fluctuates according to wind speed variation. Therefore, many countries have set up wind-turbine interconnection standards usually named as Grid-Code to regulate the output power of wind farms to improve power system reliability and power quality. This paper proposes three operation modes of wind farms such as maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mode, single wind turbine control mode and wind farm control mode to control the output power of wind turbines as well as overall wind farms. This paper also proposes an operation scheme of wind farm to alleviate power fluctuation of wind farm by choosing the appropriate control mode and coordinating multiple wind turbines in consideration of grid conditions. The performance of the proposed scheme is verified via simulation studies in PSCAD/EMTDC with doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbine models.
