These days, the application of electronic power transformers (EPTs) is expanding in place of ordinary power transformers. These transformers can transmit power via three or four wire converters. Their dynamic performance is extremely important, due to their complex structure. In this paper, a new method is proposed for improving the dynamic performance of distribution electronic power transformers (DEPT) by using sliding mode control (SMC). Hence, to express the dynamic characteristics of a system, different factors such as the voltage unbalance, voltage sag, voltage harmonics and voltage flicker in the system primary side are considered. The four controlling aims of the improvement in dynamic performance include: 1) maintaining the input currents so that they are in sinusoidal form and in phase with the input voltages so they have a unity power factor, 2) keeping the dc-link voltage within the reference amount, 3) keeping the output voltages at a fixed amount and 4) keeping the output voltages in sinusoidal and symmetrical forms. Simulation results indicate the potential and capability of the proposed method in improving DEPT behavior.

저압 수용가에 적용되고 있는 3상 4선식 배전방식은 단상 및 3상 부하를 동시에 이용할 수 있는 장점이 있는 반면 부하의 불평형 운전에 의한 임피던스의 변화로 전압 불평형이 발생하게 된다. 이들 부하 중에서는 선형 및 비선형 부하가 사용될 경우 고조파의 발생으로 부하에 나쁜 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 전압 불평형율의 허용범위를 제한하기 위해 전압 불평형율에 대한 측정방법, 불평형율의 계산방법 그리고 현장 측정 등을 통해 도출된 결과들을 분석하여 가장 효과적인 허용범위를 제안하였다.

최근 상업용 빌딩, 주거용 빌딩 및 공장등의 저전압 3상 4선식 배전계통에서 PC, UPS, 정류기기, 조명장치 및 사무용기기등 비선형 부하의 사용이 증가하고 있으며, 이로 인한 과도한 중성선 전류는 중성선의 고장, 변압기의 과열 및 중성선과 접지사이의 전압강하등 심각한 문제를 야기시키고 있다. 본 논문에서는 3상 4선식 배전계통에서 중성선 전류 저감을 위한 새로운 능동전력필터를 제안한다. 제안한 방식은 제어가 간단하고 부하용량대비 인버터등 장치의 용량이 작아 저가격으로 실현할 수 있다. 제안한 시스템은 이론적인 분석과 모의실험 및 실험에 의하여 그 타당성을 입증한다.

With the proliferation of nonlinear loads, high neutral harmonic currents in three-phase four-wire distribution system have been observed. It has been known that the ground impedance has an effect on the neutral currents of a system which operates with harmonics present. On-site measurements of harmonic currents and voltages according to the fall-of-potential method under case study system were made and the ground impedance modeling using the pattern search method for the harmonic analysis was developed The ground impedance model obtained by the proposed method was compared with the frequency characteristics by field tests and has shown appropriate results, and would be applicable to evaluate the harmonic and transient response characteristics of the ground system.

In this paper, an air conditioner peak power control system using electric power line communication has been developed. The air conditioner power control system using RS-485 communication method is hard to install on the existing buildings due to difficulty in cabling, and the system using wireless communication methods has a weak point of not being able to be used in close space, while the developed system has its own advantages of overcoming the above mentioned obstacles. In addition, the system is extended to support not only single-phase electricity system but also three-phase four-wire electricity system, and therefore can be installed anywhere in the domestic environment. The system also has enhanced the ease of deployment, operational stability and economical efficiency by compact circuit design. Considering the current state requiring the energy sayings, the system would greatly contribute to the widespread use of the air conditioner power control system. The superiority in the performance and stability of the system has been proved by the design verification of each component such as remote air conditioner controller, electric power line gateway and so on, and the field test of the whole system.

In the three phase four wire system, voltage unbalance caused by the unbalanced load operation, gives rise to current unbalance and de-rates by the increase of machine's loss and eventually enlarges power capacity and besides has a bad effect on power quality. Power capacitor has been used for the power factor correction of inductive load and the voltage stability of power system. And it uses instead of power side for magnetic excitation of induction motor. If voltage unbalance keeps up, it affects on voltage stress at the power capacitor and finally can be caused breakdown. In this paper, we analysed that voltage and current of power capacitor increases by the voltage unbalance factor and its stress is growing more and more.

This paper develops power measurement system with multiple sensor input channels (voltage-8 channels and current-10 channels) that simultaneously can monitor power components for both supply and load side of power system. The hardware implementation of the proposed system is based on TMS320C42 DSP and signal processing program algorithm to calculate power components use the definition of IEEE Standard 1459-2010 related power quality. The performance of the developed system is tested by using standard ac power source device, and the test results showed that accuracy of the developed system is less than 0.2 %. Also, field test of the proposed system in the three-phase and four-wire power system was implemented. Simultaneous multiple channel measurement and analysis of power components in commercial and industrial electrical power system using the proposed system will be necessary to reduce power quality problems.
