The islanding detection for distributed resources (DR) becomes an important and emerging issue in power system protection since the distributed generator installations are rapidly increasing and most of the installed systems are interconnected with distribution network. In order to avoid the negative impacts from islanding operations of DR on protection, operation and management of distribution system, it is necessary to effectively detect the islanding operations of DR and rapidly disconnect it from distribution network. Generally, it is difficult to detect islanding operation by monitoring only one system parameter This paper presents a new logic based islanding detection method for distributed resources(DR) which are interconnected with distribution network. The proposed method detects the islanding operation by monitoring four system parameter: voltage variation, phase displacement, frequency variation, and the variation of total harmonic distortion(THD) of current; therefore, it effectively detects island operation of DR unit operating in parallel with the distribution network. We also verified the efficiency of the proposed algorithm using the radial distribution network of IEEE 34 bus model.

본 연구에서는 배전계통의 전압 고조파 확산에 따른 전압 %THD (%Total Harmonic Distortion)를 개선하기 위한 Z-소스 능동필터(Z-AFU : Z-Source Active Filter Unit)를 제시하였다. 버스(Bus)의 전압 고조파는 60Hz 버터워쓰 저역통과필터(LPF)에 의하여 검출하였다. 제안된 시스템의 보상전원으로는 고분자 전해질 연료전지(PEMFC)를 사용하였다. 제안된 시스템의 타당성을 확인하기 위하여 PSIM 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 전압 고조파 확산 억제에 따른 배전계통 전압의 %THD를 개선 할 수 있었다.

The design and performance analysis of a power factor corrected (PFC), single-phase, single switch flyback buck-boost ac-dc converter is carried out for low power battery charging applications. The proposed configuration of the flyback buck-boost ac-dc converter consists of only one switch and operates in discontinuous current mode (DCM), resulting in simplicity in design and manufacturing and reduction in input current total harmonic distortion (THD). The design procedure of the flyback buck-boost ac-dc converter is presented for the battery charging application. To verify and investigate the design and performance, a simulation study of the flyback buck-boost converter in DCM is performed using the PSIM6.0 platform. A laboratory prototype of the proposed single switch flyback buck-boost ac-dc converter is developed and test results are presented to validate the design and developed model of the system.

To verify the effectiveness of the proposed system, the charges in power demand are analyzed for an AC and DC distribution system for the existing V2G concept and electric vehicle charging stations connected to a Battery Energy Storage System. In addition, since many power-converter-based chargers are operated simultaneously in an EV charging station, the change in the system harmonics when several EV chargers are connected at a single point is analyzed through simulations.

This paper describes a power quality analysis of a photovoltaic generating systems. Prior to the power measurement, domestic and foreign codes related to the photovoltaic generating systems were briefly summarized. After constructing about 5 kW photovoltaic systems, input/output voltages and currents were measured to compare and analyze the power quality by the module type. Based on the measured values, a couple of factors such as active power, power factor, total harmonic distortion(THD) was calculated and analyzed.

The wavelet PWM (WPWM) technique has been applied in two-level inverters successfully, but directly applying the WPWM technique to three-level inverters is impossible. This paper proposes a WPWM technique suitable for a single-phase three-level inverter. The work analyzes the control strategy with the WPWM and obtains the design of its parameters. Compared with the SPWM technique for a single-phase three-level inverter under the same conditions, the WPWM can obtain high magnitudes of the output fundamental frequency component, low total harmonic distortion, and simpler digital implementation. The feasibility experiment is given to verify of the proposed WPWM technique.

This paper presents the logic based islanding protection algorithm for distributed resources(DR) which are interconnected with distribution network. Due to the negative impacts from islanding operations of DR on protection, operation and management of distribution system, it is necessary to effectively detect the islanding operations of DR and disconnect it from distribution network rapidly. Generally, it is difficult to detect islanding operation by monitoring only one system parameter. The proposed islanding protection algorithm utilizes multi-criteria, voltage variation, phase displacement frequency variation, the variation of total harmonic distortion(THD) of current; therefore it effectively detects island operation of DR unit. We also verified the efficiency of the proposed algorithm using the radial distribution network of IEEE 34 bus model.

This paper presents a new asymmetrical multilevel inverter with a reduced number of power electronic components. The proposed multilevel inverter is analyzed using two different configurations: i) First Configuration (with a switched diode) and ii) Second Configuration (without a switched diode). The presented topologies are compared with recent multilevel inverter topologies in terms of number of switches, gate driver circuits and blocking voltages. The proposed topologies can be cascaded to generate the maximum number of output voltage levels and they are suitable for high voltage applications. Various power quality issues are addressed for both of the configurations. The proposed 11-level inverter configuration is simulated using MATLAB and it is validated with a laboratory based experimental setup.

멀티 레벨 인버터는 높은 출력 전압을 갖으며, 낮은 THD(Total harmonic distortion)를 요구하는 시스템에 적합하다. 그 중 cascaded H-brige 멀티레벨 인버터는 H-bridge 셀별 관리가 쉽고, 레벨 수를 증가시키기 쉽다는 장점 때문에 많이 이용되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 cascaded H-bridge 인버터의 기존 PI (proportional integral) 제어 기반 PWM (pulse width modulation)기법의 스위칭 패턴과 모델 예측 제어의 스위칭 패턴을 비교하고 모델예측 제어 시 셀 별 스위칭 패턴 균형을 위한 방법을 제안한다.

In this paper, a comparative study of modified phase-angle, extinction-angle, and pulse width modulation control techniques for the purpose of power factor improvement of single-phase AC-AC voltage regulators have been illustrated as applied to a single-phase ac voltage converter by an example of the widely used single-phase induction motor as a dynamic load. Observations on power factor, displacement factor and total harmonic distortion factor are described and discussed on the basis of the simulated and measured results of this work.
