  • The four-leg Voltage Source Converter(VSC) can use the DC link voltage effectively by the 3-D SVPWM method. Hence the DC battery voltage can be reduced by $15\%$ in comparison to that of the conventional line-interactive UPS system. In this paper a novel line interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply(UPS) using the two four-leg VSCs is proposed. One VSC is in parallel with the ac link reactor of the power source side, and the other is in series with the load. The parallel four-leg voltage source inverter controls the three-phase line voltage independently in order to control the line reactor current indirectly. It eliminates the neutral line current and the active ripple power of the source side using the pqr theory so that unity power factor and the sinusoidal source current can be achieved even though both the source and the load voltages have zero sequence components. The series four-leg voltage source inverter compensates the line voltage and allows it to be balanced and harmonic-free. Both of the parallel and series four-leg voltage source inverters always act as independently controllable voltage sources, so that the three-phase output voltage shows a seamless transition to the backup mode. The feasibility of the proposed UPS system has been investigated and verified through computer simulations results.

  • 해상 풍력 발전은 가장 유망한 재생 에너지원의 하나이며, 육상 풍력 발전보다 풍력이 강력하고 일정하여 장시간 고출력 발생이 가능하다. 또한 소음, 공간적 한계, 경관훼손 등 기존 육상 풍력 발전의 단점을 보완하고 초대형 단지조성이 가능한 장점이 있다. 초대형 해상풍력단지에는 일반적으로 MW급의 해상풍력발전기가 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 MW급의 해상 풍력발전기에 ANPC(Active Neutral-Point-Clamped) Multi-Level VSC(Voltage Source Converter)를 적용하여 Back-to-Back으로 구성한 시스템을 제안하고 계통연계형 풍력 발전 시스템을 모의한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 시스템의 성능을 검증한다.

  • 현재 발전기 스케줄링은 제한된 발전 자원, 에너지 수요 및 연료비용 증가, 그리고 불규칙적인 부하 등 최적리스케줄링에 있어 많은 문제들을 해결하기 위한 새로운 변화가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 Multi-Terminal Voltage Source Converter High Voltage Direct Current (VSC-MTDC)와 Bettary Energy Storage System (BESS)가 결합된 Hybrid Integrated system (HIS)를 통해 발전기 리스케줄링을 위한 최적화 기법을 제안한다. 최적 발전기 리스케줄링을 위한 HIS 퍼포먼스를 위해 VSC station limit과 충 방전을 기반으로 하는 최적화 과정을 수행한다. 최적조류계산 문제는 VSC-MTDC 시스템과 BESS룰 고려하여 정식화되며, 충 방전 전략은 24시간 수요 정보를 사용하여 발전기 리스케줄링을 위한 하이브리드 통합 시스템의 최적알고리즘을 보여준다. 제안된 최적 리스케줄링 기법을 수정된 IEEE 14 모선에 적용하여 효율성을 입증하고자 한다.

  • This paper provides a comparison of power converter loss and thermal description for voltage source and current source type 5 MW-class medium-voltage topologies of wind turbines. Neutral-point clamped three-level converter is adopted for a voltage source type topology, whereas a two-level converter is employed for current source type topology, considering the popularity in the industry. To match the required voltage level of 4160 V with the same switching device of IGCT as in the voltage source converter, two active switches are connected in series for the case of current source converter. Transient thermal modeling of a four-layer Foster network for heat transfer is done to better estimate the transient junction and case temperature of power semiconductors during various operating conditions in wind turbines. The loss analysis is confirmed through PLECS simulations. Comparison result shows that the VSC-based wind turbine system has higher efficiency than the CSC under the rated operating conditions.

  • This paper deals with a novel solid state controller (NSSC) for an isolated asynchronous generator (IAG) feeding 3-phase 4-wire loads driven by constant power prime movers, such as uncontrolled pico hydro turbines. AC capacitor banks are used to meet the reactive power requirement of the asynchronous generator. The proposed NSSC is realized using a set of IGBTs (Insulated gate bipolar junction transistors) based current controlled 2-leg voltage source converters (CC- VSC) and a DC chopper at its DC bus, which keeps the generated voltage and frequency constant in spite of changes in consumer loads. The neutral point of the load is created using aT-configuration of the transformers. The IAG system is modeled in MATLAB along with Simulink and PSB (power system block set) toolboxes. The simulated results are presented to demonstrate the capability of the isolated generating system consisting of NSSC and IAG driven by uncontrolled pico hydro turbine and feeding 3-phase 4-wire loads.

  • UPFC(Unified Power Flow Controller) consists of two voltage sourced converter(VSC)s inserted into AC system through series and parallel coupling transformer, where two VSCs are linked by capacitor at DC-side. Since VSC acts as an AC voltage source behind a reactance, where both magnitude and phase angle of the source are controllable, UPFC can be represented by the equation related to input-output relation of two VSCs. Voltage control of DC-link capacitor provides the path of real power flow between two VSCs. While UPFC is controlled for maintaining the given reference value in steady state, it should be controlled for damping power oscillation in dynamics. For such a control objective, the control strategy based on the energy function was proposed and has been shown to be effect and robust for damping power oscillation of power system. In this paper, UPFC model based on the VSC was analysed and applied to power-flow control and stability analysis. The control strategy based on the energy function is adopted for damping power oscillation of power system. The effectiveness of proposed control strategy was verified by simulation study

  • From the careful analysis of the transformed dq system equations of a PWM Voltage Source Converter ( PWM - VSC ), a novel voltage control is proposed which is based on the derivative of in-phase current component of line currents and the relation between dc-link voltage and in-phase current component. A simple logical algorithm to implement the proposed scheme is also presented at transient state. The sinusoidal PWM is adopted at steady state. The simulation results show good transient characteristics.

  • This paper proposes a universal system control strategy for voltage source converter (VSC) based high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems. The framework of the designed control strategy consists of five layer structures considering the topology and control characteristics of the VSC-HVDC system. The control commands sent from the topmost layer can be transmitted to the next layer based on the existing communication system. When the commands are sent to each substation, the following transmission of commands between the four lower layers are realized using the internal communication system while ignoring the communication delay. This hierarchical control strategy can be easily applied to any VSC-HVDC system with any topology. Furthermore, an integrated controller for each converter is designed and implemented considering all of the possible operating states. The modular-designed integrated controller makes it quite easy to extend its operating states if necessary, and it is available for any kind of VSC. A detailed model of a VSC-HVDC system containing a DC hub is built in the PSCAD/EMTDC environment. Simulation results based on three operating conditions (the start-up process, the voltage margin control method and the master-slave control method) demonstrate the flexibility and validity of the proposed control strategy.
