The static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) of cascaded H-bridge configuration accompanying multiple separate DC sides is inherently subject to the problem of uneven DC voltages. These DC voltages in one leg can be controlled by adjusting the AC-side output voltage of each cell inverter, which is proportional to the active power. However, when the phase current is extremely small, large AC-side voltage is required to generate the active power to balance the cell voltages. In this study, an alternative zero-sequence current injection method is proposed, which facilitates effective cell balancing controllers at no load, and has no effect on the power grid because the injected zero sequence current only flows within the STATCOM delta circuit. The performance of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experiments.

수전단의 관성이 0(수전단에 발전력이 전혀 없는 경우)인 약한 계통에서는 HVDC가 재기동과 무효전력 보상을 위해서 동기조상기의 존재는 필수적이다. 동기조상기와 주된 목적이 무효전력올 보상하는 것이지만 SVC나 STACON과 같은 무효전력 보상장치는 HVDC시스템을 재기동(HVDC에서는 Black-Start라 부른다)시킬 수 있는 능력을 가지고 있지 못하지 때문에 동기조상기가 발전력이 없는 약한 계통에서는 유일한 대안이다. 동기조상기는 발전기의 일종으로서 무효전력을 조정하는 여자 시스템의 종류에 따라 다른 특성을 가지고 있다. 정지형 여자 시스템은 속응성과 보수 유지의 간편성 때문에 많아 각광받고 있는 형태임에도 불구하고 시스템이 가지고 있는 본질적인 결함 때문에 약한 계통에 연결된 경우에는 짧은 문체점을 노출시키고 있다. 반면에 AC 회천형 여자 시스템은 속응성에 낮음에도 불구하고 여자기의 공급전원이 안정하다는 장점올 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 여자 시스템의 장단점을 분석하고 정지형 여자 시스템의 장점과 AC 회전형 여자 시스템의 장점올 결함한 새로운 여자 시스템올 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템은 HVDC 시스템에 연결된 경우에 좋은 제어 특성을 보여 주었으며 결과는 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 단상PWM컨버터 차량의 새로운 운전방식에 대해 기술하였다. 최근의 전기차량은 PWM 컨버터를 채택함으로써 그 이전의 차량들에 비하여 역률을 1.0에 가깝도록 유지할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 이들 차량은 컨버터 제어방식의 비교적 간단한 수정을 통하여 진상 역률 영역에서의 운전이 가능한데, 이러한 특징은 차량 자체만으로는 큰 의미가 없을지 모르나 급전계통과 연계하여 검토하는 경우 선로의 무효전력 손실을 보상함으로써 급전선로의 유효전력 손실을 감소시키고 전압 분포를 개선하는 효과를 나타내게 된다. 이동형 보상장치가 될 수 있다는 특징으로 무효전력 보상을 위해 일반적으로 검토되는 SVC와 비교해도 장점을 가지게 된다. PWM컨버터차량의 진상운전 조건 및 관련식의 유도와 함께 이러한 방식을 적용하기 위한 새로운 역률 제어 알고리즘을 제시하였다. SIMULINK 모델을 사용한 모의를 통하여 제시된 방법의 실 적용 가능성을 검토하였으며 만족할 만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

FACTS technology is developed into the sophisticated system technology which combines conventional power system technology with power electronics, micro-process control, and information technology. Its objectives are achieving enhancement of the power system flexibility and maximum utilization of the power transfer capability through improvements of the system reliability, controllability, and efficiency[1]. As a series and shunt compensator, UPFC consists of two inverters with common dc link capacitor bank. It controls the magnitude of shunt bus voltage and real and reactive power flow of transmission line[2]. In this paper, we present the design and control algorithm of UPFC simulator for KERI simulator. As a control algorithm is implemented by digital controller, we consider sample-and-hold of signals In this simulation, we use EMTDC/PSCAD V3.0 software which can simulate instantaneous voltage and current.

The power quality of wind energy becomes more and more important in connecting wind-farms to the grid, especially weak grid. This paper presents the simulation of a wind farm of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) and a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). Flicker mitigation is performed by using PMSG as a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) to regulate the voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC). A benefit of the measure is that integrating two function of to control the active power flow and to reduce the voltage flicker in a wind farm. Simulation results show that controlling PMSG is an effective and economic measure in reducing the flicker during continuous operation of grid connected wind turbines regardless of short circuit capacity ratio, turbulence intensity and grid impedance angle.

This paper proposes an analysis method based on the magnitude-phase dynamic theory for isolated power systems with static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs). The stability margin of an isolated power system is greatly reduced when a load is connected, due to the disadvantageous features of the self-excited induction generators (SEIGs). To analyze the control process for system stability and to grasp the dynamic characteristics in different timescales, the relationships between the active/reactive components and the phase/magnitude of the STATCOM output voltage are derived in the natural reference frame based on the magnitude/phase dynamic theory. Then STATCOM equivalent mechanical models in both the voltage time scale and the current time scale are built. The proportional coefficients and the integral coefficients of the control process are converted into damping coefficients, inertia coefficients and stiffness coefficients so that analyzing its controls, dynamic response characteristics as well as impacts on the system operations are easier. The effectiveness of the proposed analysis method is verified by simulation and experimental results.

It is known that the LDC(Line-Drop Compensator) becomes to lose the function of proper voltage regulation for its load currents due to the real and reactive power generated by DGS(Dispersed Generation System), when DGS is introduced into the power distribution system of which the voltage is controlled by LDC. Therefore, in that case, it is very difficult to regulate the distribution line voltage properly by using LDC. One possible solution for this problem is the real-time voltage regulation method which is to optimally regulate the sending-end voltage in real-time by collecting the real-time load data of each load data of each load section between measuring points and by calculating the optimal seding-end voltage value from them. For this, we must know the real-time load data of each load section. In this paper, a modeling method of representing a load section on high voltage line with DGSs as an equivalent lumped load is proposed for gaining the real-time load data. In addition a method of locating the measuring points is proposed. Then, these proposed methods are evaluated through computer simulations.

Primary frequency control(PFC) has the ability to regulate short period random variations of frequency during normal operation conditions and also to respond rapidly to emergencies. However, during the past decade, numerous significant sized blackouts occurred worldwide that resulted in serious economic losses. Therefore, the conclusion has been reached that the ability of the current PFC to meet an emergency is poor, and security of power systems should be improved. An alternative to enhance the PFC and thus security is to store excessive amounts of energy during off-peak load periods in efficient energy storage systems for substituting the primary control reserve. In this sense, superconducting magnetic energy storage(SMES) in combination with a static synchronous compensator(STATCOM) is capable of supplying power systems with both active and reactive powers simultaneously and very rapidly, and thus is able to enhance the security dramatically. In this paper, a new concept of PFC based on incorporating a STATCOM-SMES is presented. A complete detailed model is proposed and a new control scheme is designed, comprising an enhanced frequency control scheme, and a fully decoupled current control strategy in d-q coordinates with a novel controller to prevent dc bus capacitors voltage drift/imbalance. The performance of the proposed control schemes is validated through digital simulation carried out using MATLAB/Simulink.

능동형필터는 주로 비선형 부하로 부터 발생되는 정수배의 고조파를 보상하는데 응용되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 국가핵융합연구소(NFRI)의 KSTAR 주장치의 전원공급장치인 PF MPS가 가동되면서 특이한 저차수 대역의 비정수 고조파가 발생되는데 이는 MG(motor generator)와 RPC (Reactive Power Compensator)간의 병렬공진 확대현상으로 나타나 고조파 전류의 증가, 전압왜형 상승 등 안정적인 전력계통 운영에 영향을 주고 있다. 따라서 이의 원인이 되는 특이성의 비정수 고조파를 저감시키기 위한 제어 알고리즘 개발과 모의시험에 관한 연구내용을 다루고자한다. 지금까지 개발된 알고리즘은 주로 정수배 고조파만을 대상으로 한 FFT의 일괄보상, 혹은 개별차수 보상방식이었으나 여기서는 DQ 변환 알고리즘을 채용하여 정수배 고조파는 물론 0.5차 단위의 비정수 고조파까지 제어하는 기술을 다루었다.

Scott transformers have widely used to convert three phases into two phases and compensate the unbalance. Theoretically, the loads of the two secondary phases are same, no unbalance appears in the PCC(point of common coupling). But Due to the uncertainty of traction load, the unbalance are generally presented at the PCC. In this paper The amount of the voltage unbalance is expressed in the ratio of the negative sequence voltages to the positive sequence voltage. We tried to compensate the unbalance using SVC(Static Var Compensator）in an unbalance traction loads state by modeling. The SVC are installed and controlled to provide different amounts of reactive power compensation.
