Interaction among multiple grid-connected inverters has a negative impact on the stable operations and power quality of a power grid. The interrelated influences of inverter inductor-capacitor-inductor filters constitute a high-order power network, and consequently, excite complex resonances at various frequencies. This study first establishes a micro-grid admittance matrix, in which inverters use deadbeat control. Multiple resonances can then be evaluated via modal analysis. For the active damping method applied to deadbeat control, the sampling frequency and the stable domain of the virtual damping ratio are also presented by analyzing system stability in the discrete domain. Simulation and experimental results confirm the efficiency of modal analysis and stable domain calculation in multi-inverter grid-connected systems.

BIPV or BAPV installation applied to building is increasing through public utility mandates enterprise. Solar PV energy generates only during the day, but if it is operated in convergence with ESS, which stores electrical energy, it can restrain the fossil energy used in buildings throughout the day. A solution is to converge with PV system and ESS. However, PV systems and ESS connected to the power grid in parallel can cause problems of electrical stability. A study was conducted on the case of failure to detect islanding operation under the parallel operation of PV generation and ESS that are connected in parallel to power grid. Experiments conducted various non-islanding detections under the operating conditions. In the experiment results, when one PCS - PV inverter or ESS inverter - was operating under the islanding condition, it stopped working within 0.5 seconds of the Korean grid standard. However, when both of PV inverter and ESS inverter were operating at the same time under the islanding situation, the anti-islanding algorithm did not operate normally and both inverters continuously supplied power to the connected RLC loads. islanding detection Algorithm developed by each inverter manufacturer has caused this phenomenon. Therefore, this paper presented a new test standard for islanding detection.

본 연구에서는 네온 변압기를 세라믹 계열의 압전 변압기를 이용한 인버터식 네온관용 변압기를 제안하였다 인버터식 네온관용 압전 변압기의 주요 구성은 정류부, 발진부, 공진형 하프브릿지 인버터회로부 및 압전 변압기부로 구성 제작하였다. 네온관용 변압기는 지금까지 개발된 압전 변압기 용량 보다 대부분 큰 용량을 필요로 하고 있기 때문에 압전 변압기의 용량 증가를 위해 병렬 구동하였다 이때 병렬로 연결된 단층형 압전 변압기간 내부 임피던스 값의 불일치로 발생하는 불평형 전류를 최소화 하기 위하여 압전 변압기별로 LC 필터값을 분석 부착하여 전압의 왜곡율을 최소화 하여 안정된 정현파 출력을 구현하였다. 그리고 이를 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 실험과 실제 네온관 부착 실험을 통하여 전력 밀도와 절연 레벨이 높고, 누설 자속이 없는 소형, 경량화된, 압전 변압기를 적용한 인버터식 네온관용 변압기가 기존의 자기식 네온관용 변압기 보다 우수함을 비교 입증하였다.

A new droop control method which can be applied to 3-phase 4-wire uninterruptible power supply is proposed in this paper. The droop control method for parallel operation is very attractive one as UPS parallel operation can be carried out without any data communication devices provided among UPS systems connected, but it reportedly shows a PnP(plug-and-play) problem. A basic reason why a circulating current could flow among parallel-connected UPS systems is clearly investigated as well when droop-controlled-ups systems are operated in the manner of PnP. The proposed algorithm is deduced from the investigated result and is basically structured to keep a balanced frequency and balanced voltage profile against power variation. This paper shows that balanced parallel operation of droop control method can be obtained under unbalanced load as well as balanced load conditions when PnP operation is needed and load change occurs.

This paper proposes analysis and suppression method for reactive power vibration of the slave motor caused by back-EMF mismatch between the master and the slave motor and stator resistance during middle-low speed operation. The master and slave motors are parallel connected dual SPMSMs(Surface mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors) fed by a single inverter. To suppress vibration of reactive power, RPC(Reactive Power Compensator) proposed in this paper analyzes flux-axis current vibration of the slave motor that occurs in middle-low speed operation using a mathematical model of the fan motor. And RPC adds vibration components detected from flux-axis current of the slave motor to flux-axis current of the master motor. The results of experiment conducted verify the efficacy of the proposed method.

A new single phase half-bridge cascaded multilevel inverter based series active power filter (SAPF) is proposed. The main parts of the inverter are presented in detail. With the proposed inverter topology, any compensation voltage reference can be easily obtained. Therefore, the inverter acts as a harmonic source when the reference is a non-sinusoidal signal. A 31-level inverter based SAPF with the proposed topology, is manufactured and the voltage harmonics of the load connected to the point of common coupling (PCC) are compensated. There is no need for a parallel passive filter (PPF) since the main purpose of the paper is to represent the compensation capability of the SAPF without a PPF. It is aimed to compensate the voltage harmonics of the load fed by a non-sinusoidal supply using the proposed inverter. The validity of the proposed inverter based SAPF is verified by simulation as well as experimental study. The system efficiency is also measured in this study. Both simulation and experimental results show that the proposed multilevel inverter is suitable for SAPF applications.

This paper deals with the electric energy saving system for lighting with power conditioning, which aims at the integration of power quality improvement and energy saving. The system consists of a CCVSI(Current-Controlled Voltage Source Inverter) and VCVSI(Voltage-Controlled Voltage Source Inverter). The CCVSI is connected in parallel to a grid, which can be operated to compensate the reactive power demanded by nonlinear and variation loads. The VCVSI is connected to the CCVSI through the DC capacitor (DC side) and in series on the AC side(lighting load), which can perform the energy saving. The operation of the proposed system is confirmed through the simulation and its usefulness is discussed.

To reduce the size and cost of motor driving systems, several methods for driving multiple parallel-connected motors with a single inverter have been proposed. However, dual PMSMs driven by a single inverter, unlike induction motors, have a problem with instability due to system resonance caused by disturbances such as load imbalance and tolerances between two motors. To drive dual SPMSMs fed by a single inverter, this paper proposes an active damping algorithm to effectively suppress resonance by using one-sided sensorless speed control and position difference estimation. By deriving rotor position difference from d-q current differences between two motors, the proposed method is affected less by position difference estimation errors and is simpler than dual sensorless position estimation.

The two-stage converter is widely used in traditional DC/AC inverter. It has several disadvantages such as complex topology, large volume and high loss. In order to overcome these shortcomings, a novel half load-cycle worked dual SEPIC single-stage inverter, which is based on the analysis of the relationship between input and output voltages of SEPIC converters operating in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), is presented in this paper. The traditional single-stage inverter has remarkable advantages in small and medium power applications, but it can’t realize boost DC/AC output directly. Besides one pre-boost DC/DC converter is needed between the DC source and the traditional single-stage inverter. A novel DC/AC inverter without pre-boost DC/DC converter, which is comprised of two SEPIC converters, is studied. The output of dual SEPIC converters is connected with anti-parallel and half load-cycle control is used to realize boost and buck DC/AC output directly and work properly, whatever the DC input voltage is higher or lower than the AC output voltage. The working principle, parameter selection and the control strategy of the inverters are analyzed in this paper. Simulation and experiment results verify the feasibility of the new inverter.
