The use of energy storage systems (ESSs) has become a feasible solution to solve the wind power intermittency issue. However, the use of ESSs increases the system cost significantly. In this paper, an optimal power flow control scheme to minimize the ESS capacity is proposed by using the zero-phase delay low-pass filter which can eliminate the phase delay between the dispatch power and the wind power. In addition, the filter time constant is optimized at the beginning of each dispatching interval to ensure the fluctuation mitigation requirement imposed by the grid code with a minimal ESS capacity. And also, a short-term power dispatch control algorithm is developed suitable for the proposed power dispatch based on the zero-phase delay low-pass filter with the predetermined ESS capacity. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed power management approach, case studies are carried out by using a 3-MW wind turbine with real wind speed data measured on Jeju Island.

에너지 시스템의 다양한 수요와 공급 대응 문제를 해결하기 위해 에너지 저장시스템이 새로운 해결책으로 주목 받고 있다. 특히 재생에너지의 공급 비중이 커져가면서 에너지 공급과 수요의 불확실성을 고려하는 것이 에너지 시스템의 운영에 가장 어려운 문제가 되었다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 저장 시스템이 필요한 용량을 산정하는데, 수요와 공급의 불확실성을 몬테 카를로 시뮬레이션 기법으로 반영하고 이에 연관된 이슈들을 다루었다. 본 연구에서 제기된 이슈들은 에너지 시스템이 가지고 있는 불확실성속에서도 향후 에너지 저장 시스템의 안정적 운영에 활용되어 후속 연구들의 기반이 될 수 있을 것이다.

This study proposes a bi-directional buck-boost converter controller design method for ESS using the MATLAB SISO tool. The conventional two-loop controller design is based on a continuous S-domain model that designs each controller independently. The demerit of the conventional method is that optimal performance is not easily achieved and extensive trials and errors are required because two-loop systems interact with one another. Using the MATLAB SISO tool based on the design method proposed in this work overcomes the disadvantages of the conventional method. In the proposed method, the SISO tool can select the location of the poles and zeroes of the open loop system, thereby facilitating the effective design of a high-performance controller. The design sequence is detailed systematically, and the performance of the method is verified with a computer simulation and 10 kW experimental system.

This paper proposed a program of an energy storage system(ESS) for peak shaving of high-speed railway substations The peak shaving saves cost of equipment and demand cost of the substation. To reduce the peak load, it is very important to know when the peak load appears. The past data based load profile forecasting method is easy and applicable to customers which have relatively fixed load profiles. And an optimal scheduling method of the ESS is helpful in reducing the electricity tariff and shaving the peak load efficiently. Based on these techniques, MS. NET based peak shaving program is developed. In case study, a specific daily load profile of the local substation was applied and simulated to verify performance of the proposed program.

If large-scale PV systems are continuously interconnected to distribution system, customer voltages could violate the allowable voltage limit($220{\pm}13V$) according to reverse power flow of PV system. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes flexible adoption evaluation algorithm of PV system in distribution system which estimates proper introduction capacity and location of ESS(energy storage system) for keeping customer voltages within allowable voltage limit based on various operating scenarios related with connecting point and capacity of PV system. And also this paper proposes modeling of ESS, SVR(step voltage regulator) and PV system using PSCAD/EMTDC S/W and analyzes characteristics of customer voltages and the adoption ability of PV system in distribution system. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that proposed algorithm is useful for large-scale adoption of PV system in distribution system to maintain customer voltages within allowable voltage limit.

Recently, as one of the countermeasures to reduce carbon dioxide($CO_2$) for global warming problems, operation methods in micro-grid systems replacing diesel generator with renewable energy sources including wind power(WP) and photovoltaic(PV) system have been studied and presented in energetic manners. However, it is reported that some operation problems in micro-grid systems without diesel generator for carbon-free island are being occurred when large scaled WP systems are at start-up. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes an operation strategy in micro-grid systems by adapting control devices such as CVCF(constant voltage constant frequency) ESS(energy storage system) for constant frequency and voltage regulation, load control ESS for balancing demand and supply and SVC(static-var compensator) for reactive power compensation. From the simulation results based on the various operation scenarios, it is confirmed that the proposed operation strategy in micro-grid systems without diesel generators is a useful tool to perform a stable operation in micro-grid systems without diesel generator and also make a contribution to reduce carbon dioxide in micro-grid systems.

In recent years, the energy storage systems such as LiB, NaS, RFB(Redox-Flow Battery), Super- capacitor, pumped hydro storage, flywheel, CAES(Compressed Air Energy Storage) and so on have received great attention as practical solutions for the power supply problems. They can be used for various purpose of peak shaving, load leveling and frequency regulation, according to the characteristics of each ESS(energy storage system). This paper will focus at 1 MWh RFB system, which is being developed through the original technology project of energy material. The output of ESS is mainly characterized by C-rate, which means that the total rated capacity of battery will be delivered in 1 hour. And it is a very important factor in the ESS operation scheduling. There can be several options according to the operation intervals 15, 30 and 60minutes. The operation scheduling is based on the optimization to minimize the daily electricity cost. This paper analyzes the cost-saving effects by the each operating time-interval in case that the RFB ESS is optimally scheduled for peak shaving and load leveling.

본 논문에서는 직교 주파수 분할 다중 접속 방식(Orhogonal Frequency Division Multiple Acccss) 상향 링크에서의 간섭 완화를 위한 측부엽 억제 기법을 제안한다. 제안되는 측부엽 억제 기법은 특정 사용자와 그 외 사용자간의 서로 다른 주파수 오차에 의해 발생한 다중 접속 간섭을 완화시켜준다. 이러한 측부엽 억제 기법의 성능은 평균 신호대 간섭비와 비트 오율에 의해서 평가되었다. 모의 실험 결과에 의해서 제안되는 기법이 기존의 OFDMA 시스템과 비교하여 약 5∼10dB 가량의 신호대 간섭비 이득에 의한 성능을 향상시키는 것을 확인할 수 있으며, 특히 부대역 내의 모든 부반송파의 성능을 일정한 수준으로 유지시켜 준다. 측부엽 억제기를 구현하기 위해서는 사용자별로 할당되는 부대역 크기만큼의 메모리를 가지는 실수 검색 테이블과 부대역 크기만큼의 곱셈/덧셈 연산만이 요구되기 때문에 부가적으로 발생하는 시스템의 복잡도 증가가 거의 없다.

The unavoidable forecast error of wind power is one of the biggest obstacles for wind farms to participate in day-ahead electricity market. To mitigate the deviation from forecast, installation of energy storage system (ESS) is considered. An accurate model of wind power forecast error is fundamental for ESS sizing. However, previous study shows that the error distribution has variable kurtosis and fat tails, and insufficient measurement data of wind farms would add to the difficulty of modeling. This paper presents a comprehensive way that makes the use of mixed skewness model (MSM) and copula theory to give a better approximation for the distribution of forecast error, and it remains valid even if the dataset is not so well documented. The model is then used to optimize the ESS power and capacity aiming to pay the minimal extra cost. Results show the effectiveness of the new model for finding the optimal size of ESS and increasing the economic benefit.

In this paper, we analyzed the present status of the safety manager and safety assurance aspects through a complex analysis on the operational aspects, marketability and electrical safety aspects of photovoltaic power generation facilities. In the analysis of the equipment status, we analyzed the status and operated status of the installed PV system in Korea and the correlation between the safety manager and the accident. In addition, we analyzed the direction of the ESS through the analysis of the installation status of the ESS, and applied it to the interpretation part of the ESS associated with the solar power generation. The status of the electric safety manager can be used to analyze the data for selecting the electric safety manager by capacity by analyzing the accident status, the electric safety manager operation status, the safety management time by capacity, and the electric safety manager market.
