Recently, as one of the policies for carbon free operation method of independent power system replacing diesel generator with renewable energy such as wind power and photovoltaic(PV) system has been presented. Therefore, this paper proposes an operation algorithm and modeling of independent power system by considering CVCF(constant voltage constant frequency) ESS(energy storage system) for constant frequency and voltage, LC(load control) ESS for demand and supply balancing and SVC(static var compensator) for reactive power compensation. From the simulation results based on the various operation scenario, it is confirmed that proposed operation algorithm and modeling may contribute stable operation and carbon free in independent power system.

본 논문에서는 스위칭 셀 구조의 직접형 PWM ac-ac 컨버터를 이용한 새로운 단상 무효전력 보상 장치를 제안한다. 제안한 보상기는 최근에 개발된 가변 임피던스 개념을 이용한 무효전력 보상기에서 발전된 형태이다. 기존 보상기에는 시스템 신뢰성에 심각한 악영향을 주는 커뮤테이션 문제가 존재하는데 제안한 보상기에서는 스위칭셀 구조와 결합인덕터로 구성된 ac-ac 컨버터를 사용하여서 커뮤테이션 문제를 해결하였다. 이로인해 기존 시스템에 비해 스위칭 신호 구현이 매우 간편하고 RC 스너버가 필요하지 않으며 결과적으로 매우 신뢰성이 높은 시스템을 구현할 수 있다. 간략화 된 단상시스템을 구축하여 실험을 통해 성능을 검증하였다.

본 논문은 사이리스터를 이용한 HVDC 시스템에서 발생하는 무효전력보상에 대한 특성을 무효전력 발생원인과 보상방법에 대하여 고찰하고자 하였다. HVDC 시스템은 무효전력을 컨버터의 제어를 통하여 한정적으로 보상할 수 있으며, 고조파 제거를 위하여 설계하는 교류필터의 커패시터를 이용하여 무효전력보상기능을 추가하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 방법으로는 완전하게 무효전력을 보상할 수 없으므로 추가적인 무효전력 보상장치를 설계하여야 한다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 현재 제주-해남에 설치 되어있는 HVDC 시스템을 대상으로 무효전력 보상에 대한 시뮬레이션을 하였다. 제주 인버터단의 특성을 고려하여 무효전력보상을 위한 커패시터와 동기 조상기의 Hybrid형 방법에 대하여 동적 특성을 분석하였으며 논문에서 사용된 방법은 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

Conventional adaptive speed estimators cannot avoid the influence of the non-linear inductance variation under the saturation conditions. Without speed sensors, it is difficult to identify the inductance variation using a reactive power mode because the model contains a term of the rotor speed. In this paper, we propose a novel speed estimator having hybrid architecture in order to estimate both the rotor speed and the inductance variation simultaneously when the motor flux is saturated. Proposed estimator consists of the error between the flux obtained from the stator voltage equation and the flux estimated from the rotor flux observer. Introducing a new correction term into the estimator increases the estimation ability of the conventional speed estimator even though the motor flux is saturated. The convergence of the speed estimation error is examined by simulation Furthermore, the experimental results show the validity of the proposed method.

The distance in load parameter space to the closest voltage collapse point (CSNB) provides the worst case power margin and the left eigenvector identifies the most effective direction to steer the system to maximize voltage stability under contingency. This paper proposes a new generation redispatch algorithm, which uses left eigenvector at CSNB to enhance the voltage stability. A Newton method is used to detect CSNB point. Proposed method is applicable to the selection of appropriate reactive power compensation and load shedding point detection. But this paper make a point of voltage stability enhancement only with generation redispatch. The proposed method has been tested for Klos Kerner 11-bus system.

This paper presents an efficient method to calculate voltage collapse point and to improve static voltage stability. To evaluate static voltage stability in power systems. it is necessary to get critical loading points. For this purpose, we use linear programming to calculate efficiently voltage collapse point. And if index value becomes larger than given threshold value, vol tags stability is improved by compensation of reactive power at selected bus. This algorithm is verified by simulation on the sample system.

This paper presents DG based droop controlled parallel inverter systems with virtual impedance considering the unequal resistive-inductive combined line impedance condition. This causes a reactive power sharing error and dynamic performance degradation. Each of these drawbacks can be solved by adding the feedforward term of each line impedance voltage drop or injecting the virtual inductor. However, if the line impedances are high enough because of the long distance between the DG and the PCC or if the capacity of the system is large so that the output current is very large, this leads to a high virtual inductor voltage drop which causes reductions of the output voltage and power. Therefore, the line impedance voltage drops and the virtual inductor and resistor voltage drop compensation methods have been considered to solve these problems. The proposed method has been verified in comparison with the conventional droop method through PSIM simulation and low-scale experimental results.

This paper analyses the mathematical model and control strategies of a Hybrid Active Power Filter with Injection Circuit (IHAPF). The control strategy based on the load harmonic current detection is selected. A novel control method for a IHAPF, which is based on the analyzed control mathematical model, is proposed. It consists of two closed-control loops. The upper closed-control loop consists of a single fuzzy logic controller and the IHAPF model, while the lower closed-control loop is composed of an Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) controller, a Neural Generalized Predictive (NGP) regulator and the IHAPF model. The purpose of the lower closed-control loop is to improve the performance of the upper closed-control loop. When compared to other control methods, the simulation and experimental results show that the proposed control method has the advantages of a shorter response time, good online control and very effective harmonics reduction.

Recently, Korean system operating conditions have gradually approached an upper limit. When a contingency occurs, the power system may have no solutions. Different from the cases of bad initial guesses or the solutions are too close to the solvability boundary in which numerical methods can be applied, for unsolvable cases, the only way to restore solvability would be structure modifications. In this paper, a new approach for corrective and preventive control to such cases is proposed in two steps: (i) finding any solution regardless its feasibility; (ii) for the infeasible solution, make it feasible with additional modifications at load buses having Distributed Energy Resources. The test case built based on the peak load profile of 2008 by KEPCO including 1336 buses is analyzed. Since reactive power compensation is optimized to restore solvability, all demands are met, therefore no blackouts happen. The proposed method was integrated in the LP program designed by power21 Corporation.

The power quality of wind energy becomes more and more important in connecting wind-farms to the grid, especially weak grid. This paper presents the simulation of a wind farm of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) and a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). Flicker mitigation is performed by using PMSG as a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) to regulate the voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC). A benefit of the measure is that integrating two function of to control the active power flow and to reduce the voltage flicker in a wind farm. Simulation results show that controlling PMSG is an effective and economic measure in reducing the flicker during continuous operation of grid connected wind turbines regardless of short circuit capacity ratio, turbulence intensity and grid impedance angle.
