현재 제주지역 전력계통은 원형 모양의 다중계통으로 구성되어 있어 송전선로 고장 발생시 단일계통으로 운전됨에 따라 말단 측에 전압문제가 발생할 우려가 있을 뿐만 아니라, 대규모 풍력발전단지 조성 및 #2 HVDC 제주연계로 제주지역내 무효전력 수급 불균형 상황이 발생할 것으로 예상된다. 이에 따라 제주지역 전력계통 전압안정도 개선을 위하여 순동 무효전력 보상장치를 154kV 한라, 신제주변전소에 설치하기로 계획하였으며 154kV급 STATCOM(정지형 무효전력 보상장치)으로 결정되었다. 이번에 제주에 적용된 STATCOM은 미금변전소에 설치된 345kV급 STATCOM에 이어 국내기술로 개발된 설비로 154kV급으로는 처음 국내에 설치되었다. 제주지역 특성을 반영하여 변압기, 인버터 등 STATCOM 구성 주요기기에 대한 정격을 결정, 기술규격을 확정한 후 구매를 추진하였고 2011년 1월부터 설치를 착수하여 2011년 5월말 시운전 목표로 추진하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내에 최초로 적용되는 154kV급 STATCOM의 현장설치 주요과정에 대한 소개와 현장시험 주요항목 및 유의사항에 대해 기술하고 있다.

The back-to-back HVDC asynchronous grid interconnect technology has problems of high harmonic generation, high cost, and low scalability. To solve this problem, research on asynchronous grid interconnect technology using VFT is actively being conducted. However, the reactive power due to the inductance component of the VFT is generated, and the problem of additional installation of the reactive power compensating facility is inevitably generated. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to solve the reactive power compensation problem of existing VFT by designing rectifier AC-DC converter, which is an essential element of the asynchronous grid connection system using VFT, to compensate reactive power as well as active power supply. The performance was verified through simulation.

본 논문에서는 3-Level Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) 인버터의 중성점 리플 전압 예측 기법을 제안한다. 산업용 계통 연계형 인버터의 경우, 계통 규정을 만족하기 위하여 전압 강하와 같은 계통 사고 발생 시 계통에 협조할 수 있도록 무효전류 보상이 요구된다. NPC 인버터는 두 개의 커패시터가 직렬로 이루어진 구조로 무효전류 출력 시 상단과 하단의 커패시터 전압에 3차 중성점 리플 전류로 인해 중성점 리플 전압이 발생한다. 따라서 중성점 리플 전압을 고려하여 출력 전류에 보상하지 않으면 무효전류의 품질에 악영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 하나의 DC 전압센서를 통하여 중성점 전류를 예측하고, 중성점 리플 전압을 보상하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. Hardware In the Loop (HIL) Simulation을 통하여 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증한다.

Development of the distributed energy resources such as photovoltaic, wind, and fuel cell has increased rapidly due to the rising demand for clean energy utilization. On the other hand, the distribution system became complex and has problems such as degradation of power factor and current unbalance caused by power converters, reactive power and unbalanced loads. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a 3-phase 4-leg type power conditioning system with compensation control algorithm for the reactive power and unbalance current in distribution system using photovoltaic resource. It is simulated in PSCAD/EMTDC and the effectiveness is confirmed.

In the case of a 900 MW combined cycle power plant, most of the load on the site is a rotating device and is operated at a low power factor, and the power factor decrease increases the reactive power, which causes the efficiency of the device to be consumed and unnecessary unnecessary power consumption. This study intends to present the results by installing and operating a reactive power compensation device that absorbs and removes reactive power, which is a solution to this problem, on a 6.9 kV on-board bus. As a result of application of this system, first, it was confirmed that the power factor of the rotating machine was improved to 0.22 and the load power in the house was reduced by 1.4%, and the thermal efficiency of the generator was increased by 0.1% and the power generation power by 810 kW. Next, it was confirmed that the cost of construction and operation can be reduced in the future due to economic feasibility, with a decrease of 200 million won/year in electricity loss compared to 1.5 billion won in investment, an increase of 1 billion won/year in sales, and a one-year capital recovery period.

With the recent activation of the offshore wind power industry, there has been a development of power plants with a scale exceeding 400MW, comparable to traditional thermal power plants. Renewable energy, characterized by intermittency depending on the energy source, is a prominent feature of modern renewable power generation facilities, which are structured based on controllable inverter technology. As the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid expands, the grid codes for power system connection are progressively becoming more defined, leading to active discussions and evaluations in this area. In this paper, we propose a method for selecting optimal reactive power compensation capacity when multiple offshore wind farms are integrated and connected through a shared interconnection facility to comply with grid codes. Based on the requirements of the grid code, we analyze the reactive power compensation and excessive stability of the 400MW wind power generation site under development in the southwest sea of Jeonbuk. This analysis involves constructing a generation site database using PSS/E (Power System Simulation for Engineering), incorporating turbine layouts and cable data. The study calculates reactive power due to charging current in internal and external network cables and determines the reactive power compensation capacity at the interconnection point. Additionally, static and dynamic stability assessments are conducted by integrating with the power system database.

In this paper, we construct a Virtual D-STATCOM using a number of grid-connected inverters installed in solar and wind power plants and compensate the reactive power of the cable depending on the reactive power of the load of the power distribution system and the distance to the power distribution line We propose a method to compensate the reactive power of the PCC stage near the substation without installing the existing single large capacity D-STATCOM. The proposed method is verified by Matlab Simulink simulation and its operation principle and reactive power compensation.
