최근, 연료전지는 새로운 발전시스템으로 주목받고 있다. 연료전지는 저전압/대전류의 전기적 특성을 가진다. 그러므로 일반 상용부하에 적용하기 위해서는 승압용 컨버터와 인버터가 필요하다. 제안된 시스템은 연료전지의 전압을 380[Vdc]로 승압하기 위한 절연형 DC-DC 컨버터와 단상 220[Vac]로 변환하기 위한 LC 필터를 가진 PWM 인버터로 구성된다. 또한, 연료전지 발전시스템용 양방향 DC-DC 컨버터는 부하 응답 특성을 개선시키기 위하여 구성하였다. 본 논문에서는 풀 브리지 컨버터와 단상 인버터를 설계하고 제작하였으며, 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 연료전지 발전 시스템이 분산전원에 적용이 가능함을 보여준다.

Unintentional islanding results in safety hazards, reliability, and many other issues. Therefore, the islanding detection of a power conditioning system of a distributed generation, such as a grid-connected photovoltaic inverter, is a key function for standard compliance. Currently, many anti-islanding schemes have been examined, but existing anti-islanding schemes have poor power quality and non-detection zone issues. Therefore, this study analyzes the non-detection zone in a more deliberate manner than the existing analysis of the non-detection zone and proposes a new anti-islanding scheme, which has negligible power quality degradation and no non-detection zone. Simulation and experimental results validate that the proposed scheme shows much better performance than other existing schemes.

Due to global environmental regulations and policies with rapid advancement of renewable energy technologies, the development type of renewable energy sources (RES) in power systems is expanding from small-scale distributed generation to large-scale grid-connected systems. In the near future, it is expected that RES achieves grid parity which means the equilibrium point where the power cost of RES is equal to the power costs of conventional generators. However, although RES would achieve the grid parity, the cost related with development of large-scale RES is still a big burden. Furthermore, it is hard to determine a suitable capacity of RES because of their output characteristics affected by locations and weather effects. Therefore, to determine an optimal capacity for RES becomes an important decision-making problem. This study proposes a method for determining an optimal installed capacity of RES from the business viewpoint of an independent power plant (IPP). In order to verify the proposed method, we have performed case studies on real power system in Incheon and Shiheung areas, South Korea.

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 presents a new software-based on-line dead-time compensation technique for single-phase grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) inverter system. To improve the mitigation of dead-time effect around the zero-crossing point of phase current, a selective harmonic elimination of instantaneous feedback current is used as an additional part of conventional current control scheme. Simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the effectiveness of proposed compensation method in the grid-connected power distributed generation systems.

정부의 재생e 3020 이행계획 및 제 8차 전력수급 기본계획과 함께 국내 분산 전원 연계 사업이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 2016년 10월 시행된 1 MW이하의 분산 전원 접속 보장 제도의 시행 이후, 배전 계통의 분산 전원 연계 신청이 급증함에 따라 송배전 설비부족으로 분산 전원 접속 지연이 일어나는 문제와, 이로 인해 국내 분산 전원의 70 %가 연계되어 있는 배전 계통의 신증설 투자비가 증가하는 문제가 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 현재 배전 계통의 분산 전원 수용력(hosting capacity) 확보 방법은 물리적인 배전 설비 추가 확충 이외에는 대안이 없는 것이 현실인데, 이러한 방식은 아래와 같은 어려움이 따른다. 첫째, 분산 전원의 대다수를 차지하는 태양광은 일조량이 풍부하고 지가가 저렴한 야외, 산악지역에 보급되므로 배전선로 경과지 확보가 점점 어려워지고 있다. 이로 인해 지중 구간이 증가하여 공사비가 증가하며, 태양광 야외 지역 위치로 공사 거리, 기간이 증가하게 된다. 둘째, 지자체의 공사 인허가 비협조 사례가 증가하여 이로 인해 공사가 지연되어 민원이 야기된다. 셋째, 배전선로 공사 자체에 1년 이상의 공사기간이 소요되므로 분산 전원을 적기에 접속시킬 수가 없으며, 넷째, 접속 신청은 지속 증가하므로 이에 따라 배전 설비 확충 비용 또한 지속 증가 할 수 밖에 없다. 이렇게 물리적 설비확충으로 발생하는 문제에 대응하여 접속 대기를 최소화하면서도 공사(투자비)를 최소화 할 수 있는 방안은 설비이용률을 극대화하는 것이며, 본 연구는 이러한 고민에서 시작되었다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 현재 배전 계통의 분산 전원 연계 현황, 태양광 최대 출력 실적, 최소 부하, 선로 특성의 분석을 통해 배전선로의 분산 전원 상시연계용량 기준을 상향하기 위한 타당성을 검토하였으며, 배전선로의 분산 전원 상시연계용량 기준을 위한 상향(안)을 제시하였다.

These days most of countries concern about eco-friendly energy. With this trend, the interests for Electric Vehicles(EVs) have been increased not only for its eco-friendly characteristics but also for the possibility that it can be used as Distributed Generation(DG). However, in terms of using EVs as DG, it requires specific standards. If there is no regulation and many of EVs start to discharge, it could cause severe unstability in power system. As there is no proper standards or regulations of Vehicle-to-Grid(V2G) system, we suggest the development direction of standardization of V2G system in the Republic of Korea by examining other countries' V2G standards.

MW-class gas turbines are suitable for distributed generation systems such as community energy systems(CES). Recently, biogas is acknowledged as an alternative energy source, and its use in gas turbines is expected to increase. Steam injection is an effective way to improve performance of gas turbines.

By development of renewable energy and more efficient facilities in an increasingly deregulated electricity market, the operation cost of distributed generation (DG) is becoming more competitive. International environmental regulations of the leaking carbon become effective to reinforce global efforts for a low-carbon paradigm. Through increased DG, operators of DG are able to supply electric power to customers who are connected directly to DG as well as loads that are connected to entire network. In this situation, a community energy system (CES) with DGs is a new participant in the energy market. DG's purchase price from the market is different from the DG's sales price to the market due to transmission service charges and other costs. Therefore, CES who owns DGs has to control the produced electric power per hourly period in order to maximize profit. Considering the international environment regulations, CE will be an important element to decide the marginal cost of generators as well as the classified fuel unit cost and unit's efficiency. This paper introduces the optimal operation of CES's DG connected to the distribution network considering CE. The purpose of optimization is to maximize the profit of CES. A Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) will be used to solve this complicated problem. The optimal operation of DG represented in this paper would guide CES and system operators in determining the decision making criteria.
