As environmental issues have been taken seriously, the number of solar power generation facilities has rapidly increased in Korea. The voltage at the output stage of an inverter increases in a system that connects a small-capacity photovoltaic power generation to low-voltage power distribution. This degrades the quality of the low-voltage distribution system and adversely affects the load facility. In this study, a solution was obtained to increase the voltage at the output stage of the solar inverter according to the connection of the low-voltage distribution system. The voltage can be controlled by using reactive power factor control inverters. If the secondary tap is adjusted, the voltage can be adjusted to about 15 V, but there is a problem in that the tap is not adjusted unless the KEPCO distribution regulation voltage is out of the range of 220±13V. If the number of inverters is limited, the inverter can be started within the inverter overvoltage range. If it is connected to three phases, the voltage is distributed. The results indicated that power factor control and active voltage control inverters were easy to apply in the field.

An uninterruptible power supply(UPS) with parallel operation is used to increase the power capacity of the system or to secure higher reliability at critical loads. In the parallel operating system composed of the multiple UPSs, load-sharing, i.e. current balance control between them is key technique. Because of its low impedance and quick response characteristics, inverter output current changes very rapidly and thereby easily researches an overload condition. The difference between total load current divided by number of operating inverters and its own current is detected as unbalanced current. Then frequency and voltage are controlled to minimize the active component and the reactive component. A good performance of the proposed load-sharing technique is verified by experiments in the parallel operating system with two 40kVA UPSs.

This paper proposes a droop control scheme to compensate the unbalanced line-to-line voltage of unbalanced 3-phase load which is coupled with two inverter-based distributed generations through unequal impedance lines. Unbalanced line-to-line load voltages occur due to using single-phase loads, which brings about bad effects on the coupled inverters and the distributed generations. In order to compensate the unbalanced line-to-line voltages, a positive sequence voltage control was used for sharing the active and reactive power and a negative sequence control was used for reducing the negative sequence voltage. The feasibility of the proposed scheme was first verified by computer simulations, and then experiments with a hardware set-up built in the lab. The experimental results were compared with the simulation results to confirm the feasibility of the proposed scheme.

Operational applications such as service restoration, voltage control and protection coordination are calculated based on the active and reactive power loading of the sections in the distribution networks. Loadings of the sections are estimated using the voltage and current measured from the automatic switches deployed along the primary feeders. But, due to the characteristics of the potential transformer attached to the switches, accuracy of the voltage magnitude is not acceptable to be used for section loading calculation. This paper proposes a new accurate section loading estimation method through voltage measurement error compensation by calculating voltage drop of the distribution line. In order to establish feasibility of the proposed method, various case studies based on Matlab simulation have been performed.

In this paper, analysis of operating characteristics of hybrid cascade multilevel PWM rectifier without bulky and heavy isolation transformers is presented. The multilevel PWM rectifier is analyzed by using the circuit DQ transformation whereby the static and dynamic characteristics and some useful design relationships are obtained. Then, the operating characteristics such as active/reactive power relationships with respect to control variables, DC voltages build up are presented. It will be shown that the DC voltages for the multilevel output generation may be directly built up from AC utility source. Finally, to confirm the validity of the analysis, MATLAB simulations are tarried out.

We propose a algorithm to calculate power factor of fundamental waveform in an environment where the voltage and current have been distorted by harmonics. In the proposed power factor computation algorithm, voltage and current are converted to rotating DQ reference frame, and power factor is calculated from active power and reactive power. We compare the proposed method with the conventional power factor measurement method as mathematically. In a condition that voltage and current are distorted by harmonics, the proposed method accurately measure the power factor of fundamental wave, and it is confirmed by simulation using MATLAB. If the proposed power factor measurement method is applied to an automatic power factor control system, a power factor compensation performance can be maximized in harmonic distortion environment. As a result, it is possible to reduce electricity prices, reduce line loss, increase load capacity, ensure the transmission margin capacity, and reduce the amount of power generation.

This paper describes a phase-shifter which can flexibly adjust the active and reactive power flow through an ac transmission line. The phase-shifter has two voltage-source converters sharing an energy storage capacitor. The magnitude of the injected voltage is controlled by the converter I connected in parallel with the sending terminal, while that of phase angle by the converter II in series with the line through the coupling transformer. In order to analyze the whole system operation, an equivalent circuit model was developed and verified by a computer simulation with EMTP code.

풍력 발전의 계통연계가 증가함에 따라 계통의 안정적인 운영을 위해 계통연계기준이 제정되고 있으며, 여기에는 계통 사고 시 풍력발전기의 연계운전을 요구하는 Fault Ride Through(FRT) 규정이 포함될 것으로 예상된다. FRT 규정에는 기존의 계통 사고 시 전압에 따른 계통연계 유지 기준과 함께 계통 회복 시 안정적인 주파수 회복과 빠른 전압회복을 위해 유효전력제어와 무효전력제어 규정이 포함되어야 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 DSAT을 이용한 제주 계통의 안정도 모의를 바탕으로 FRT capability 규정을 제안하였다. 또한 풍력발전기의 유효 및 무효전력 제어가 사고 후 복구 시 계통의 안정도에 미치는 영향을 모의를 통하여 확인하고 이에 대한 추가적인 규정이 필요함을 확인하였다.
