2017년 8월에 발생한 고창 전력시험센터를 시작으로, 현재까지 총 29건의 전기저장장치 화재가 발생하여 많은 재산피해가 보고되고 있다. 이에 대한 원인은 아직 정확하게 규명되지 않았으나, ESS(energy storage system)와 전력변환장치뿐만 아니라, 계통측 불평형 문제도 하나의 원인으로 고려되어야 할 것으로 보인다. 특히, 연계용변압기측의 순환전류가 자화전류에 영향을 미쳐, 의도치 않게 변압기의 철심이 포화되고 서지전압이 발생하여 ESS에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 부하불평형에 의한 불평형전류 발생시, ESS 연계용변압기로 순환전류의 유입과 변압기 포화로 인한 서지전압 발생 현상을 해석하기 위하여, PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용한 배전용변전소, 연계용변압기 및 수용가부하로 구성된 배전계통의 모델링을 수행한다. 또한, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 중성점 접지 저항기(neutral grounding resistor, NGR)를 통해 순환전류의 크기를 일정 값 이내로 저감시키는 방안을 제시하였다. 이를 바탕으로 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 연계용변압기의 결선방식 및 철심구조에 따라 일정 값(10[A]) 이상의 순환전류가 발생하여, ESS에 전기적인 위해 요인이 될 수 있음을 알 수 있었고, 변압기 포화로 인해 2차측에 최대 3[pu]의 서지전압이 발생될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Fluctuating wind conditions necessitate the use of a variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) with a AC/DC/AC converter scheme in order to harvest the maximum power from the wind and to decouple the synchronous generator voltage and frequency from the grid voltage and frequency. In this paper, a combination of a three phase diode bridge rectifier (DBR) and a modified topology of the diode clamped multilevel inverter (DCMLI) has been considered as an AC/DC/AC converter. A control strategy has been proposed for the DCMLI to achieve the objective of grid interface of a wind power system together with local load compensation. A novel fixed frequency current control method is proposed for the DCMLI based on the level shifted multi carrier PWM for achieving the required control objectives with equal and uniform switching frequency operation for better control and thermal management with the modified DCMLI. The condition of the controller gain is derived to ensure the operation of the DCMLI at the fixed frequency of the carrier. The converter current injected into the distribution grid is controlled in accordance with the wind power availability. In addition, load compensation is performed as an added facility in order to free the source currents being fed from the grid of harmonic distortion, unbalance and a low power factor even though the load may be unbalanced, non-linear and of a poor power factor. The results are validated using PSCAD/EMTDC simulation studies.

The electricity distribution system in Korea is adopting a multi-grounding system. Protection of this distribution system against lightning is performed by installing overhead ground wires over the high voltage wires, and connecting the overhead ground wires to the ground every 200 m. The ground resistance in this system is limited not to exceed $50\Omega$ and overhead ground wire and neutral wire are multiple parallel lines. Although overhead ground wire and neutral wire are installed in different locations on the same pole, this circuit configuration has duplicated functions of providing a return path for unbalanced currents and protecting the distribution system against induced lightning. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the induced lightning shielding effect according to the neutral wire installation structure of a 22.9kV distribution line in order to present a new 22.9kV distribution line structure model and characteristics. This study calculated induced lightning voltage by performing numerical analysis when an overhead ground wire is present in the multi-grounding type 22.9kV distribution line structure, and calculated the induced lightning shielding effect based on this calculated induced lightning voltage. In addition, this study proposed and analyzed an improved distribution line model allowing the use of both overhead wire and neutral wire to be installed in the current distribution lines. The result of MATLAB simulation using the conditions applied by Yokoyama showed almost no difference between the induced lightning voltage developed in the current line and that developed in the proposed line. This signifies that shielding the induced lightning voltage through overhead wire makes no difference between current and proposed distribution line structures. That is, this study found that the ground resistance of the overhead wire had an effect on the induced lightning voltage, and that the induced lightning shielding effect of overhead wire is small.

In recent years, some converter structures and analyzing methods for the voltage regulation of stand-alone self-excited induction generators (SEIGs) have been introduced. However, all of them are concerned with the three-phase voltage control of three-phase SEIGs or the single-phase voltage control of single-phase SEIGs for the operation of these machines under balanced load conditions. In this paper, each phase voltage is controlled separately through separated converters, which consist of a full-bridge diode rectifier and one-IGBT. For this purpose, the principle of the electronic load controllers supported by fuzzy logic is employed in the two-different proposed converter structures. While changing single phase consumer loads that are independent from each other, the output voltages of the generator are controlled independently by three-number of separated electronic load controllers (SELCs) in two different mode operations. The aim is to obtain a rated power from the SEIG via the switching of the dump loads to be the complement of consumer load variations. The transient and steady state behaviors of the whole system are investigated by simulation studies from the point of getting the design parameters, and experiments are carried out for validation of the results. The results illustrate that the proposed SELC system is capable of coping with independent consumer load variations to keep output voltage at a desired value for each phase. It is also available for unbalanced consumer load conditions. In addition, it is concluded that the proposed converter without a filter capacitor has less harmonics on the currents.

유도전동기는 산업시스템에 있어서 필수적인 요소이기 때문에 유지 관리, 모니터링 시스템, 고장 진단 등의 다양한 분야에서 많은 연구가 행해지고 있다. 유도전동기의 운전 중 하나의 고장이 발생한 경우 이것은 전동기의 다른 부분에 영향을 미치거나 또 다른 고장을 유발시키는 원인이 된다. 따라서 개별적인 고장뿐만 아니라 결합된 형태의 고장을 검출하고 진단하는 것은 유용한 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 전압불평형 고장과 회전자바 고장이 발생한 경우, 흐리고 두 고장이 동시에 복합적으로 발생한 경우를 모델링하고 이에 대해 고장을 웨이블릿 분해를 이용하여 진단하였다. 제안된 고장 검출 및 진단 알고리즘은 농형유도전동기의 고정자 전류를 이용하였으며 매트랩 시뮬링크를 사용하여 시뮬레이션 하였다.
