본 논문은 신재생을 배전계통에 추가 수용하기 위해 배전계통의 접속허용기준을 상향하여 운전하는 방안을 검토하고 실증한 결과를 분석하는 내용을 다룬다. 대한민국의 배전계통의 경우, 일반적인 공용배전선로는 최대 10 MVA까지 신재생이 접속할 수 있도록 규정하고 있으며 신재생으로 인해 발생하는 역조류에 의해 계통전압이 전기사업법에서 지정한 범위를 초과하지 않아야 한다. 그러나 배전계통에 상시 존재하는 최소부하 및 발전원의 발전 특성에 따라 신재생을 추가 접속할 수 있는 여유용량이 존재할 수 있음을 고려해야 한다. 따라서 배전계통의 접속허용용량 기준 상향 검토를 위해, 신재생이 접속허용한도인 10 MVA만큼 최대한 접속된 상황에서 모든 신재생이 배전계통운영자에 의해 감시되고 있는 배전선로를 선정하여 단계적인 추가 접속을 시행하였다. 신재생으로 인한 배전계통의 전력조류와 전압 프로파일 영향을 분석함으로써 현재의 기준을 초과하여 신재생을 접속 시킬 때 발생 가능한 계통영향 분석과 더불어 향후 고려해야할 요인을 정의한다.

A virtual power plant (VPP) technology is a cluster of distributed generation installations. VPP system is that integrates several types of distributed generation sources, so as to give a reliable overall power supply. Virtual power plant systems play a key role in the smart grids concept and the move towards alternative sources of energy. They ensure improved integration of the renewable energy generation into the grids and the electricity market. VPPs not only deal with the supply side, but also help manage demand and ensure reliability of grid functions through demand response (DR) and other load shifting approaches in real time. In this paper, utilizing a variety of distributed generation resources(such as emergency generator, commercial generator, energy storage device), activation scheme of the virtual power plant technology. In addition, through the analysis of the domestic electricity market, it describes a scheme that can be a virtual power plant to participate in electricity market. It attempts to derive the policy support recommendation in order to obtain the basics to the prepared in position of power generation companies for the commercialization of virtual power plant.

The increasing penetration of distributed energy resources on the distribution networks have brought a number of technical impacts where voltage and thermal variations have been identified as the dominant effects. Active network management in distribution networks aims to integrate distributed energy resources with flexible network management so that distributed energy resources are organized to make better use of existing capacity and infrastructure. This paper propose active solutions which aims to solve the voltage and thermal issues in a distributed manner utilizing a collaborative approach. The proposed algorithms have been fully tested on a distribution network with distributed generation units.

Nonlinear electronic loads draw harmonic currents from the power grids that can cause energy loss, miss-operation of power equipment, and other serious problems in the power grids. This paper proposes a harmonic compensation method using multiple distributed resources (DRs) such as small distributed generators (DGs) and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) that are integrated to the power grids through power inverters. For harmonic compensation, DRs should inject additional apparent power to the grids so that certain DRs, especially operated in proximity to their rated power, may possibly reach their maximum current limits. Therefore, intelligent coordination methods of multiple DRs are required for efficient harmonic current compensation considering the power margins of DRs, energy cost, and the battery state-of-charge. The proposed method is based on fuzzy multi-objective optimization so that DRs can cooperate with other DRs to eliminate harmonic currents with optimizing mutually conflicting multi-objectives.

As wind farm outputs depend on natural wind resources that vary over space and time, spatial correlation analysis is needed to estimate power outputs of wind generation resources. As a result, geographic information such as latitude and longitude plays a key role to estimate power outputs of spatially distributed wind farms. In this paper, we introduce spatial correlation analysis to estimate the power outputs produced by wind farms that are geographically distributed. We present spatial correlation analysis of empirical power output data for the JEJU Island and ERCOT ISO (Texas) wind farms and propose the Correlation Decay Distance (CoDecDist) model based on geographic correlation analysis to enhance the estimation of wind power outputs.

Congestion Management (CM) is an attractive research area in the electrical power transmission with the power compensation abilities. Reconfiguration and the Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices utilization relieve the congestion in transmission lines. The lack of optimal power (real and reactive) usage with the better transfer capability and minimum cost is still challenging issue in the CM. The prediction of suitable place for the energy resources to control the power flow is the major requirement for power handling scenario. This paper proposes the novel optimization principle to select the best location for the energy resources to achieve the real-reactive power compensation. The parameters estimation and the selection of values with the best fitness through the Symmetrical Distance Travelling Optimization (SDTO) algorithm establishes the proper controlling of optimal power flow in the transmission lines. The modified fitness function formulation based on the bus parameters, index estimation correspond to the optimal reactive power usage enhances the power transfer capability with the minimum cost. The comparative analysis between the proposed method with the existing power management techniques regarding the parameters of power loss, cost value, load power and energy loss confirms the effectiveness of proposed work in the distributed renewable energy systems.

The government has proposed a mission to enhance intelligent power networks, decrease coal-fired generation, expand distributed energy resources, and promote energy prosumer into the distribution network in Korea. Installation cost of facility expansion to guaranteed interconnection with small distributed energy resources increases dramatically on KEPCO's distribution sector. And it is hard to withdraw in time. In addition, there are explicit research is required to meet the reliability on grid corresponding to the increase of distributed power. Infrastructure support for accommodating energy prosumer is also needed. Therefore, KEPCO is pushing transition to DSO by expanding distribution management scope and changing its roles. In addition, KEPCO is proactively preparing for integrated operation between distribution network and existing distributed power which is accommodated passively. KEPCO is also trying to accept multiple network users, e.g. building platforms, to manage a data and promote new markets. In the long term, transition to DSO will achieve saving investment costs for accommodating distributed sources and maintaining stable electrical quality. And it will be possible to create new business model using the platform to secure revenue.

Recently as distributed source has increased, the distribution system has changed from unidirectional power flow to bi-directional power flow. This power flow causes the PCC voltage variation, which can adversely affect voltage sensitive loads. In this paper, the relation between the active power, reactive power and PCC voltage of the distributed source is analyzed, and the PCC voltage control scheme by reactive power compensation is proposed in the distributed source itself. In addition, limitations and conditions according to the standard for interconnecting distributed resources are specified and verified through simulation.

최근 정부에서 역점 적으로 추진하고 있는 '재생에너지 3020', '그린뉴딜', '2050 탄소중립', 'K-RE100' 정책에 의해 재생에너지 관련 발전설비들이 급증하고 있다. 재생에너지 설비들은 대부분 소규모이고, 분산되어 있어서 효율적인 관리가 어렵고, 1MW 미만의 소규모 분산자원은 판매량 제한, 거래회피 등으로 시장참여에 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 특히, 재생에너지의 간헐성 때문에 전력망의 안정성 저하에도 큰 영향을 끼치고 있다. 정부에서는 '소규모 분산자원 중개거래'를 통해서 변동성 및 간헐성 문제를 해결하고, 이종의 대량 소규모 분산자원들의 계통 자원화와 수용성 확대를 추구하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 AI에 기반한 발전량 예측 모델을 분산자원 중개거래 시스템에 적용하여 최적의 운영 솔루션을 제시하고, 에너지신사업 시장 개척의 기반 플랫폼으로 활용될 수 있도록 하고자 한다.
