This paper presents an application of proportional-resonant (PR) current controllers in modular multilevel converter-high voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) system under unbalanced voltage conditions. The ac currents are transformed and controlled in the stationary reference frame (${\alpha}{\beta}$-frame). Thus, the complex analysis of the positive and negative sequence components in the synchronous rotating reference frame (dq-frame) is not necessary. With this control method, the ac currents are kept balanced and the dc-link voltage is constant under the unbalanced voltage fault conditions. The simulation results based on a detailed PSCAD/EMTDC model confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

In this paper, voltage quality improvement is analyzed in case of Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) installed in grounding line of main transformer in power distribution system. First, a resistive-type SFCL model is used. Next, Korean power distribution system is modeled. Finally, when SFCL is installed in the starting point of feeder and grounding line of main transformer, voltage qualities are evaluated according to various fault locations and resistance values of SFCL using PSCAD/EMTDC. The voltage quality results in case of grounding line are compared with the voltage in case of feeder.

In this paper, multiple ESS(Energy Storage System) control strategy for microgrids is presented. Installation of ESS becomes mandatory when microgrids are used to supply high quality power to the loads. The one of main functions of the ESS is to maintain power balance. However ESS has limitation of its capacity and instantaneous injecting power. Power allocation method based on SOC(State Of Charge) of each ESS is proposed. P-Q control is employed as the basic control strategy for the distributed ESSs. By using the proposed method, the coefficients in the conventional P-Q control method are modified. The ESSs with higher SOC inject more active power, while those with lower SOC inject less, leading to more balanced SOC levels among the ESSs. The proposed method is demonstrated by simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC.

This paper shows us the basic protective devices to protect against fault current such as recloser and fuse. Also recloser has been coordinated with fuse in distribution system to protect against fault current efficiently. However, in distribution system with SFCL, recloser-fuse coordination could be different to now and fault current couldn't be clear, if occurred. Therefore, this paper analysed recloser-fuse coordination in distribution system with SFCL using PSCAD/EMTDC

This paper derives the problems that occur when asynchronous transfer in case of phase, frequency, voltage between the emergency generator and the grid and proposed the countermeasure to solve this problem when the transfer switch replace ATS(Automatic Transfer Switch) with CTTS(Closed Transition Transfer Switch) for the non-interrupting switching. In order to simulate above cases, modelling was used the transient analysis program PSCAD/EMTDC. By using this, the customer installed emergency generator and the grid was implemented. We compared three cases of asynchronous transition based on the basic case and proposed improvement by controlling the governor of emergency generator.

This paper describes development of PMSG wind power system model using wind turbine simulator and matrix converter. The wind turbine simulator, which consists of an induction motor with vector drive, calculates the output torque of a specific wind turbine using simulation software and sends the torque signal to the vector drive after scaling down the calculated value. The operational feasibility of interconnected PMSG system with matrix converter was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. The simulation results confirm that matrix converter can be effectively applied for the PMSG system.

A wind power system with squirrel-cage induction generator has irregular change of output power according to the sudden change of wind speed. This paper describes the development of a active and reactive power compensator, which is composed of a 3-phase inverter and a bidirectional DC/DC converter with super-capacitor. The operational characteristic was analyzed through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC and experimental works with a scaled model. The developed system can continuously compensate the active power change with energy storage and the reactive power change with 3-phase inverter.

In this paper, a hardware prototype for the 10kVA 11-level MMC was built and various experimental works were conducted to verify the operation algorithms of MMC. The hardware prototype was designed using computer simulation with PSCAD/EMTDC software. After manufactured in the lab, the hardware prototype was tested to verify the modulation algorithms to form the output voltage, the balancing algorithm to equalize the sub-module capacitor voltage, and the redundancy operation algorithm to improve the system reliability.

고압직류송전 (High Voltage Direct Current, HVDC) 시스템의 모듈형 멀티레벨 컨버터 (Modular Multilevel Converter, MMC)는 EMT (Electromagnetic Transients) 시뮬레이션으로 구현 시 많은 연산시간을 요구하므로 시간 단축을 위한 가속설계가 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 스위칭 함수를 이용한 등가 모델을 이용하여 각 암을 하나의 전압원으로 단순화하였다. 본 가속모델의 유효성을 검증하기 위해 PSCAD/EMTDC에서 제공하는 반도체 스위치를 이용한 모델과 비교하여 시뮬레이션 수행시간을 비교하였다.

This paper presents an operation of the modular multilevel converter-high voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) system as a Statcom to support the grid voltage. The advantage of the MMC-HVDC system is that it can control the active and reactive powers independently. The proposed control scheme will be designed by combining this performance and the control method of the Statcom. The grid voltage is regulated by the control of the reactive power, meanwhile the active power is controlled according to its applications. The simulation results based on the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation program will evaluate the effectiveness of the control scheme.
