소규모 독립형 태양광발전시스템의 안정적인 설계를 위해서는 태양전지와 배터리 용량이 매우 중요한 요소이다. 태양전지 및 배터리의 용량산정이 잘못되면 시스템의 동작이 불안정해지고 잦은 고장의 원인이 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 안정적인 태양광발전시스템의 설계를 위해 부하특성을 고려한 태양전지와 배터리 용량산정 방안을 제시하였다.

This paper presents the design and dynamic analysis of a stand-alone microgrid with high penetration of renewable energy. The optimal sizing of various components in the microgrid is obtained considering two objectives: minimization of levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and maximization of renewable energy penetration. Integrating high renewable energy in stand-alone microgrid requires special considerations to assure stable dynamic performance, we therefore develop voltage and frequency control method by coordinating Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and diesel generators. This approach was applied to the design and development of Gasa Island microgrid in South Korea. The microgrid consists of photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, lithium-ion batteries and diesel generators. The dynamic performance of the microgrid during different load and weather variations is verified by simulation studies. Results from the real microgrid were then presented and discussed. Our approach to the design and control of microgrid will offer some lessons in future microgrid design.

Dual-mode photovoltaic power system should be capable of operating in grid-connected (GC) and stand-alone (SA) modes for distributed generation. Under different working modes, the optimal parameters of inverter output filters vary. Inverters commonly operate in GC mode, and thus, a small capacitance is beneficial to the GC topology for achieving a reasonable compromise. A predictive current control scheme is proposed to control the grid current in GC mode and thereby obtain high-performance power. As filter are not optimal under SA mode, a compound control strategy consisting of predictive current control, instantaneous voltage control, and repetitive control is proposed to achieve low total harmonic distortion and improve the output voltage spectrum. The seamless transfer between GC mode and SA mode is illustrated in detail. Finally, the simulation and experimental results of a 4 kVA prototype demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

The photovoltaic inverter is a system which transforms the solar energy to the electrical energy. Because the output of photovoltaic inverter depends on solar radiation, it is necessary to save generated power or to interface with utility line. This paper describes a 2KVA photovoltaic inverter utilizing IGBT, designed to have a very high efficiency in stand alone mode and to have the function synchronizing the phase between inverter and utility voltage as a fundamental study for utility interactive mode.

본 논문에서는 하프ㆍ풀-브리지 셀을 이용하는 새로운 멀티레벨 인버터를 제안하고 독립형 태양광 인버터로서의 가능성을 평가한다. 기본 회로 구조는 기존의 11-레벨형 PWM 인버터에 기초하며 세 개의 풀-브리지 모듈 중 하나의 모듈을 하프-브리지 구조로 대체한다. 이 간단한 회로 구조의 변경으로 제안된 멀티레벨 인버터는 세 가지의 장점을 가지게 된다. 첫째, 출력 전압 레벨 수의 증가를 통해 보다 정현적인 출력 전압 파형을 형성 시킬 수 있다. 둘째, 풀-브리지 모듈 대신 하프-브리지 셀을 이용하므로 두 개의 전력 스위치를 줄일 수 있다. 셋째, 쵸핑용으로 이용되는 인버터와 결합된 변압기에 의해 부하로 전달되는 전력량을 저감 시킬 수 있어 전체 효율 개선에 유리하다. 즉, 대부분의 전력은 저주파 스위칭 동작으로 기본 출력전압을 형성하는 인버터와 이와 결합된 변압기에 의해 부하단으로 전달되고, 고주파 스위칭을 하는 쵸핑용 인버터와 이와 결합된 변압기를 통한 출력은 최종 출력전압을 보다 정현화 하기 위한 목적으로 사용되도록 한다. 기존의 11-레벨형 PWM 인버터와 비교를 통해 제안하는 인버터를 평가하고, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 및 실험 결과를 통해 독립형 태양광 인버터로서의 가능성을 입증한다.

In this paper, a control algorithm of a stand-alone type photovoltaic/wind/diesel hybrid power system for operation in a remote island, is proposed in detail. Power controllers are used to combine two different power outputs of photovoltaic and wind-power generations into DC output, which is converted into AC power to meet load while charging the storage battery for later use. In the event that the whole power load cannot be met by photovoltaic and wind power only, power stored in the battery cell is supplied and if even this power run out, diesel generator will be applied. Certain portion of diesel power is used to cover the load and the other to charge the battery.

Photovoltaic energy and wind energy are highly dependent on the season, time and extremely intermittent energy sources. Because of these reasons, in view of the reliability the photovoltaic and the wind power generation system have many problems(energy conversion, energy storage, load control etc.) comparing with conventional power plant. In order to solve these existing problems, hybrid generation system composed of photovoltaic(500W) and wind power system(400W) was suggested. But, hybrid generation system cannot always generate stable output due to the varying weather condition. So, the auxiliary power compensation unit that uses elastic energy of spiral spring was added to hybrid generation system for the present study. It was partly confirmed that hybrid generation system was generated a stable outputs by spiral spring was continuously provided to load.

A leisure ship has a stand-alone type power system, and a generator is in use on this condition. But the generator cannot be operated in condition of leisure activity, ocean measurement and etc, because of environment and noise. Recently, renewable energy system is connected with power system of the leisure-ship for saving energy. The renewable energy system can not supply the stable power to leisure-ship because power generation changes according to weather condition. And most of the leisure ship is operated without methodical power management system. This study's purpose is to develop SPMS(Smart Power Management System) algorithm using the renewable energy (photovoltaic, wind power and etc.). The proposed algorithm is able to supply stable the power according to operation mode. Furthermore, the SPMS manages electric load (sailing and communication equipment, TV, fan, etc.) and reduces operating times of the generator. In this paper, the proposed algorithm is realized and executed by using LabVIEW. As a result, the hour for operating the generator is minimized.

A common DC bus is a useful connection for several DC output sources such as photovoltaic (PV), fuel cells, and batteries. Operation of the common DC power system with more than two DC output sources, especially in a stand-alone mode, requires a control scheme for the stable operation of the system. In this paper, a control scheme has been developed for applying DC power sources to the distribution system. The purpose of the control scheme is to make the best use of the DC power sources. The DC power system consists of PV, two energy storage systems and a DC-AC inverter with the control scheme. A distribution system was modeled in PSCAD/EMTDC. As the results, the control scheme is applied to the DC-AC inverter and the DC-DC converter for transfer operations between the grid-connected and the stand-alone mode to keep the DC bus and the AC voltage constant. The results from the simulation demonstrate the stable operation of a grid connected DC power system.
