Parallel distributed generators (DGs) in the islanded microgrid are generally operated autonomously by means of the droop control scheme. However, the traditional droop control methods which use the P-${\omega}$ and Q-E curve to share power between DGs are still concerned to improve the accuracy of reactive power sharing. Moreover, the uncontrolled harmonic power reduces the point of common coupling (PCC) voltage quality and microgrid stability. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes an enhanced PCC harmonic control strategy and an improved reactive power sharing control scheme. Based on the low bandwidth communications, a secondary control is implemented with both central controller and local controller. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is analyzed through the simulation.

This paper describes the distribution power system econimical PQMS(Power quality monitoring system) of Utility. Recently, the korea power quality standard has been established based on the IEC Std. By IEC Std., the power quality assessment point is measured in PCC(Point of common coupling). In this case, the utility has to construct PQM system in all customer PCC point and the PQ meter cost would be very high in order to acquire the suitable data. Also the distribution system would be encounter the communication overload problem due to the huge data. Accordingly the utilities could not apply to PQM system in the distribution power system by the cost and communication problem. In this paper, the proposed economical PQMS has the voltage and current signal reiteration function and FFT operation function is transferred the server. Also the voltage and current measurement channels are minimized by a classified substation construction.

A nonlinear load causes harmonic distortion and hampers the performance of other loads or distributed generation (DG) sources connected to the point of common coupling (PCC). This study proposes a new control strategy to reduce harmonic components, such as fifth and seventh harmonics, at the PCC under nonlinear loads in islanded microgrids, which comprise more than two DG sources. The proposed control scheme enables the DG source to share the power commanded by the control center as well as to compensate for the voltage harmonics at the PCC. The reference current is estimated from the voltage harmonics and injecting power; thus, the control scheme is implemented without any additional hardware devices. The simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Due to the mismatched line impedance among distributed generation units (DGs) and uncontrolled harmonic current, the droop controller has a number of problems such as inaccurate reactive power sharing and voltage distortion at the point of common coupling (PCC). To solve these problems, this paper proposes a resistive-capacitive virtual impedance control method. The proposed control method modifies the DG output impedance at the fundamental and harmonic frequencies to compensate the mismatched line impedance among DGs and to regulate the harmonic current. Finally, reactive power sharing is accurately achieved, and the PCC voltage distortion is compensated. In addition, adaptively controlling the virtual impedance guarantees compensation performance in spite of load changes. The effectiveness of the proposed control method was verified by experimental results.

A technique to allocate responsibilities among the interested parties in electric power system with harmonic voltage distortion at the point of common coupling (PCC) has been presented. The recursive least-squares technique has been used to estimate the parameters of the Thevenin equivalent load model. The validity of the technique has been verified using a simulation which considered the voltage waveform distortion at the PCC between the utility and two industrial consumers. With the estimated data from the measured voltage and current waveform at the PCC, the individual contributions to the distortion of voltage waveform at an interested harmonic frequency have been calculated and could provide a flexible solution to identify the source of harmonic pollution in distribution systems.

This paper presents a control strategy for voltage-controlled multi-function distributed generation (DG) combined with an active power filter (APF) and a reactive power compensator. The control strategy is based on droop control. As a result of local nonlinear loads, the voltages of the point of common coupling (PCC) and the currents injecting into the grid by the DG are distorted. The power quality of the PCC voltage can be enhanced by using PCC harmonic compensation. In addition, with the PCC harmonic compensation, the DG offers a low-impedance path for harmonic currents. Therefore, the DG absorbs most of the harmonic currents generated by local loads, and the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the grid connected current is dramatically reduced. Furthermore, by regulating the reactive power of the DG, the magnitude of the PCC voltage can be maintained at its nominal value. The performance of the DG with the proposed control strategy is analyzed by bode diagrams. Finally, simulation and experimental results verify the proposed control strategy.

풍력발전기가 계통에 연계되어 운전 중 바람의 변동에 따라 유효전력이 변동하면 연계지점에서는 전압변동이 발생하며 풍력발전기의 연계 위치 (PCC, Point of Common Coupling) 에 따라 그 값은 변동한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 계통 연계 지점의 전압변동이 이상 전원에서 PCC지점까지의 등가 선로 임피던스와 풍력발전기 출력 전류의 곱에 비례함을 보였으며 이러한 전압변동을 억제하기 위하여 필요한 무효전력 요구량을 해석적인 방법으로 구하였다. 만일 풍력발전기 출력단 인버터의 용량 제한에 의해 무효전력 주입량에 한계가 있거나 전압변동 허용범위가 주어진 경우에는 그에 따라 무효전력 주입량을 변화시킬 수 있다. 제안된 알고리즘을 가변속 풍력발전시스템의 출력단 인버터에 사용하면 수시로 변동하는 유효전력에 따라 무효전력 요구량을 실시간으로 계산함으로서 PCC전압변동을 최소화할 수 있다. 제안된 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 실제 서해 도서지역에 설치된 소형 풍력발전기 및 전력 시스템 파라메터를 사용하여 Matlab과 PSCAD/EMTDC 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

This paper proposes a coordinated control of the reactive power between the STATCOMs (static synchronous compensators) and the grid-side converters (GSC) of wind farms equipped with PMSGs (permanent-magnet synchronous generators), by which the voltage fluctuations at the PCC (point of common coupling) are mitigated in the steady state. In addition, the level of voltage sags is reduced during grid faults. To do this, the GSC and the STATCOM supply reactive power to the grid coordinately, where the GSCs are fully utilized to provide the reactive power for the grid prior to the STATCOM operation. For this, the GSC capability of delivering active and reactive power under variable wind speed conditions is analyzed in detail. In addition, the PCC voltage regulation of the power systems integrated with large wind farms are analyzed for short-term and long-term operations. With this coordinated control scheme, the low power capacity of STATCOMs can be used to achieve the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability of the wind farms during grid faults. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy has been verified by PSCAD/EMTDC simulation results.
