The traditional power control theories for the harmonic reduction methods in multilevel inverters are found to be unreliable under unbalanced load conditions. The unreliability in harmonic mitigation is caused by voltage fluctuations, non-linear loads, the use of power switches, etc. In general, the harmonics are reduced by filters. However, such devices are an expensive way to provide a smooth and fast response to secure power systems during dynamic conditions. Hence, the Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame (DDSRF) theory combined with a State Delay Controller (SDC) is proposed to achieve a harmonic reduction in power systems. The DDSRF produces a sinusoidal harmonic that is the opposite of the load harmonic. Then, it injects this harmonic into power systems, which reduces the effect of harmonics. The SDC is used to reduce the delay between the compensation time for power injection and the generation of a reference signal. The proposed technique has been simulated using MATLAB and its reliability has been verified experimentally under unbalanced conditions.

This paper proposes an active islanding detection method for the BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) with 3-phase inverter which is connected to the AC grid. The proposed method adopts the DDSRF (Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame) PLL (Phase Locked-Loop) so that the independent control of positive-sequence and negative-sequence current is successfully carried out using the detected phase angle information. The islanding state can be detected by sensing the variation of negative-sequence voltage at the PCC (Point of Common Connection) due to the injection of 2-3% negative-sequence current from the BESS. The proposed method provides a secure and rapid detection under the variation of negative-sequence voltage due to the sag and swell. The feasibility of proposed method was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC and experimental analyses with 5kW hardware prototype for the benchmark circuit of islanding detection suggested by IEEE 1547 and UL1741. The proposed method would be applicable for the secure detection of islanding state in the grid-tied Microgrid.

This paper studies the performances of five typical Phase-locked Loops (PLLs) for distorted and unbalanced grid, which are the Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame PLL (DDSRF-PLL), Double Second-Order Generalized Integrator PLL (DSOGI-PLL), Double Second-Order Generalized Integrator Frequency-Lock Loop (DSOGI-FLL), Double Inverse Park Transformation PLL (DIPT-PLL) and Complex Coefficient Filter based PLL (CCF-PLL). Firstly, the principles of each method are meticulously analyzed and their unified small-signal models are proposed to reveal their interior relations and design control parameters. Then the performances are compared by simulations and experiments to investigate their dynamic and steady-state performances under the conditions of a grid voltage with a negative sequence component, a voltage drop and a frequency step. Finally, the merits and drawbacks of each PLL are given. The compared results provide a guide for the application of current control, low voltage ride through (LVRT), and unintentional islanding detection.

본 논문은 계통과 연계된 3상 전압원 인버터를 기반으로 한 BESS의 능동 단독 운전 검출 방법을 제안한다. 계통 전압의 불평형에서도 안정적으로 위상을 추종할 수 있는 DDSRF_PLL(Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame_PLL)방식을 적용 하였으며, 검출된 위상각 정보를 통해 정상분 전류 제어기와 역상분 전류 제어기를 독립적으로 제어할 수 있게 된다. 이를 위해 IEEE 1547과 UL1741에서 제시하는 단독 운전 기준 시험 회로를 구성하여 PSCAD/EMTDC 소프트웨어를 통한 시뮬레이션과 5kw프로토타입 하드웨어 장치를 통해 제안된 단독 운전 검출 방법을 검증하였다.

현재 신재생에너지 발전원은 계속 증가되고 있으며, 발전기의 용량 또한 점점 증가하고 있다. 늘어나는 신재생에너지 발전원에 의해 계통 연계의 중요성이 증대되고 있고 아울러 계통에서 발생할 수 있는 여러 가지 사고로 인한 발전기의 PCS의 고장에 대한 문제 또한 중요해지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 신재생발전원의 용량이 증가함에 따라서 각 스위치의 전기적 스트레스를 줄일 수 있는 3-level NPC 타입의 컨버터회로를 기반으로 이중 전류 제어기를 이용하였고, 계통 사고시에도 강인한 위상 추종 특성을 가지는 DDSRF(Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame 이하 DDSRF)방식의 PPL을 채택하여 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. 현재 계통의 사고에 의한 사고전압은 ABC 분류에 의해서 크게 A~G 타입으로 나타내고 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 타입별 사고전압의 불평형 지수(Imbalance Factor, 이하 IF)에 따른 중성점 전류의 고조파 성분을 분석하여 도식화 하고자 한다. 이는 계통사고 발생 시 계통연계형 컨버터의 제어 및 계통탈락 여부에 활용 할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

A growing dynamic electrical demand has created an increasing interest in utilizing nonconventional energy sources like Photovoltaic (PV), wind power, etc. In this context, this paper focuses on the design and development of a composite power controller (CPC) in the decoupled double synchronous reference frame (DDSRF) combining the advantages of direct power control (DPC) and voltage oriented control (VOC) for a PV sourced grid connected inverter. In addition, a controller with the inherent active filter configuration is tested with nonlinear and unbalanced loads at the point of common coupling in both grid connected and autonomous modes of operation. Furthermore, the loss and reactive power compensation due to a non-fundamental component is also incorporated in the design, and the developed DDSRF model subsequently allows independent active and reactive power control. The proposed developed model of the controller is also implemented using MATLAB-Simulink-ISE and a Xilinx system generator which evaluate both the simulated and experimental setups. The simulation and experimental results confirm the validity of the developed model. Further, simulation results for the DPC are also presented and compared with the proposed CPC to further bring out the salient features of the proposed work.
