Microgrids are new distribution level power networks that consist of various electronically-interlaced generators and sensitive loads. The important control object of Microgrids is to supply reliable and high-quality power even during the faults or loss of mains(islanding) cases. This paper presents power control methods to coordinate multiple distributed generators(DGs) against abnormal cases such as islanding and load power variations. Using speed-droop and voltage-droop characteristics, multiple distributed generators can share the load power based on locally measured signals without any communications between them. This paper adopts the droop controllers for multiple DG control and improved them by considering the generation speed of distribution level generators. Dynamic response of the proposed control scheme has been investigated under severe operation cases such as islanding and abrupt load changes through PSCAD/EMTDC simulations.

In recent years, the research and development for the photovoltaic(PV) energy system are making rapidly progress around the world and specially this country, too due the deregulation law for the renewable energy system seems to be born sooner or later. If we can study PV generation system regardless of weather condition, we will study much more efficiently. This paper introduces the algorithm of PV power generation system simulator and the results of simulation by using PSCAD/EMTDC. In next paper, authors will prove the algorithm of PV simulator proposed in this paper by making real simulator and getting the result of experiment.

In the PV power system, output of the PV array must contain inherent ripples due to the single-phase inverter. So, the function of maximum power point tracking to increase the output efficiency of PV system is degraded. Therefore, to overcome this problem, this paper presents a control strategy for the reducing ripples of the PV array output in grid-connected photovoltaic power system. The proposed control system consists of two loops; the maximum power point tracking loop using the perturbation and observation method is used to calculate the reference solar array terminal voltage(Vref) for reducing ripples of the PV array output and the PI control loop is used to regulate the solar array output voltage according to the Vref. The performance of proposing control strategy is analyzed by means of the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation and experiment. As a result, we may obtain the high performance of the proposed control strategy.

대용량 유도전동기가 정지상태에서 기동할때 매우 큰 돌입전류에 의해 Voltage Sag를 유발하게 되며 유도전동기에 걸리는 기계적 토크보다 큰 전기적 토크가 가해지지 않으면 유도전동기는 기동에 실패하게 된다. 따라서 대용량 유도전동기의 기동을 위해서는 Voltage Sag를 줄이고 전동기의 가속에 필요한 기동토크를 인가할 수 있는 기동법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 유도전동기의 기동특성을 모의할 수 있는 모델링 기법을 제안하고 시뮬레이션에 의한 기동특성을 모의하여 적절한 기동법을 적용한다. 본 논문에서 사용한 대상 유도전동기는 한국수자원공사 취수장에서 운영하는 2500KVA 대용량 유도전동기를 사용하였으며 PSCAD/EMTDC 소프트웨어를 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

전력시스템의 규모는 날로 증가하고 부하조건 역시 매우 다양해져 많은 수의 전력변환 장치가 사용되고 있으며, 변환장치에 사용되는 비선형성 전력반도체 소자의 사용은 고조파의 발생을 가져온다. 또한 대규모 부하의 초기기동에 의한 전압강하(Voltage Sag)가 일어나게 되어 전력시스템에 좋지 않은 영향을 주게 되며 고조파와 함께 전력의 품질저하 또는 기계적 오작동 등을 가져다 준다. 본 논문에서는 이런 전압, 전류의 전력품질 저하를 보상하기 위해 Active Filter를 적용한 예를 PSCAD/EMTDC 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 이용하여 시스템 해석을 실시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 직 병렬 동시적용 Active Filter의 유용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper an integrated model of PV-AF (Photovoltaic-Active Filter) and PV-SPE(Photovoltaic Solid Polymer Electrolyte) system using PSCAD/EMTDC were explained in detaiil. The main concept of PV-AF system starts from the 'harmonics'. In order to deliver power to utility, PV system essentially needs a converter system. Here PV-AF system adds the function of active filter to the converter system installed in PV system, which was introduced already in several papers. PV-SPE system has been studied as a replacement of existing hydrogen production technology that emits large amount of carbon dioxide into atmosphere. Until now, these two systems, PV-AF and PV-SPE, have been considered separately However, in this paper, characteristics and advantages of combined system are discussed in detail.

This paper presents a new high step-up dc/dc converter for renewable energy systems in which a high voltage gain is provided by using a coupled inductor. The operation of the proposed converter is based on a charging capacitor with a single power switch in its structure. A passive clamp circuit composed of capacitors and diodes is employed in the proposed converter for lowering the voltage stress on the power switch as well as increasing the voltage gain of the converter. Since the voltage stress is low in the provided topology, a switch with a small ON-state resistance can be used. As a result, the losses are decreased and the efficiency is increased. The operating principle and steady-states analyses are discussed in detail. To confirm the viability and accurate performance of the proposed high step-up dc-dc converter, several simulation and experimental results obtained through PSCAD/EMTDC software and a built prototype are provided.

The circulating current control within the phase legs is one of the main control objectives in a modular multilevel converter (MMC) under different operating conditions. This paper proposes a control strategy of circulating currents in the MMC under unbalanced voltage by using a proportional-resonant (PR) controller. Under the unbalanced voltage, the circulating currents in the MMC consists of three components such as positive-sequence, negative-sequence, and zero-sequence circulating currents. With the PR controller, all components of the circulating current will be directly controlled in the stationary reference frame without decomposing into positive- and negative-sequence components. Thus, the ripples in the circulating currents and the DC current are suppressed under the unbalanced voltage. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation results based on PSCAD/EMTDC simulation program.

This paper describes development of hardware simulator for the PMSG(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator) wind power system, which was designed using real wind data. The simulator consists of a realistic wind turbine model using anemometer, vector drive, induction motor. The turbine simulator generates torque and speed signals for a specific wind turbine with respect to given wind speed. This torque and speed signals are scaled down to fit the input of 3kW PMSG. The PMSG-side converter operates to track the maximum power point and the grid-side inverter controls the active and reactive power supplied to the grid. The operational feasibility was first verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC. The feasibility of real system implementation was confirmed through experimental works with a hardware set-up.
