This paper proposes a control method for reducing the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the grid current of three-phase grid-connected inverter systems when the grid voltage is distorted. The THD of the grid current caused by grid voltage harmonics is derived by considering the phase delay and magnitude attenuation due to the hardware low-pass filter (LPF). The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality theory is used in order to search more easily for the minimum point of the THD. Both the gain and angle of the compensation voltage at the minimum point of the THD of the grid current are derived with the variation of cut-off frequencies of the hardware LPF. Simulation and experimental results show the validity of the proposed control methods.

To satisfy the high voltage direct current (HVDC) grid connection demand for wind power generation system, a novel topology and control strategy of HVDC grid connection for open-winding permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind power generation system is proposed, in which two generator-side converter and two isolated DC/DC converters are used to transmit the wind energy captured by open winding PMSG to HVDC grid. By deducing the mathematic model of open winding PMSG, the vector control technique, position sensorless operation, and space vector modulation strategy is applied to implement the stable generation operation of PMSG. Finally, the simulation model based on MATLAB is built to validate the availability of the proposed control strategy.

In this paper, we designed the security management system based on IEC 62351-7 in the Smart Grid environment. The scope of IEC 62351-7 focuses on network and system management (NSM) of the information infrastructure as well as end-to-end security through abstract NSM data objects for the power system operational environment. However, it does not exist that security management system based on IEC 62351-7 manages the security of the power system in the Smart Grid environment, because power equipment or SNMP agents providing NSM data do not exist yet. Therefore, we implemented the security management system to manage the information infrastructure as reliably as the power system infrastructure is managed. We expect that this system can perform the security management of IEC 61850 based digital substation and can be a prototype of the security system for the Smart Grid in the future.

This paper introduces a control method for a transformerless MMC-HVDC system. The proposed method can effectively control the grid currents of the MMC-HVDC system under unbalanced grid conditions such as a single line-to-ground fault. The proposed method controls the currents of the positive sequence component and the negative sequence component without separating algorithms. Therefore, complicated calculations for extracting the positive sequence and the negative sequence component are not required. In addition, a control method to regulate a zero sequence component current under unbalanced grid conditions in the transformerless MMC-HVDC system is also proposed. The validity of the proposed method is verified through PSCAD/EMTDC simulation.

Recently, preparing the problems in connection with energy and environment, grid-connected power systems have been intensively researched in the world. In general, the output power of grid-connected inverter (GCI) contains noisy components of inverter switching frequency. Moreover, pre-existing grid voltage disturbances degrade the output power quality. The objective of this paper is to make a GCI output high quality power. A robust current control scheme using neural network is presented in thispaper. To show the feasibility of the proposed scheme, some simulation results are provided.

산업의 발전함에 따라 고기능성 박막의 수요가 증가하고 있으며, magnetron sputtering, e-beam evaporation, ion beam 등을 이용한 박막 증착에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존 방법만으로는 박막 접착계면의 불균일로 인해 고기능성 박막 성장이 어렵다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 박막 공정 중 고밀도 플라즈마 소스(high density plasma source)를 통해 추가적인 에너지를 인가하여 박막의 밀도를 bulk 수준으로 증가시키고 내부 응력을 조절하는 연구에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 특히 grid를 이용하여 플라즈마 내 이온의 입사에너지를 증가시킴으로써, 기존 공정보다 고기능성 박막을 구현할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 RF power를 이용한 inductively coupled plasma를 통해 플라즈마를 생성시킨 후 grid에 DC power를 인가하는 플라즈마 소스를 개발하였으며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 plasma density와 ion current density, ion energy 분석 및 grid 디자인을 하였다. 개발된 플라즈마 소스는 ion energy analyzer를 통해 RF power 및 grid에 인가하는 power의 세기에 따라 이온화 정도 및 이온의 입사에너지를 측정하였다.

A microgrid is defined as two or more distributed generation or storage assets configured in a networks and capable of operation in parallel or independently form a larger electric gird, while providing continuous power to one or more end users. And when microgrid are separated from grid oprating protection devices by faults of the grid side, microsources should charge electrical power needs of loads in microgrid and operate maintaining power quality. The magnitude of the switching transients will vary based on voltage phase difference between microgrid and grid, when the microgrid is resynchronized to grid. In this paper, when microgrid is resynchronized to grid, we analyzed the existing problems for reducing switching transients of SS(Static Switch).

A novel and simple algorithm for accurate calculation of RMS voltage is proposed in a digitally controlled grid-tie inverter system. Given that the actual frequency of grid voltage is continuously changing, the constant sampling frequency cannot be a multiple number of the fundamental frequency. Therefore, the RMS of grid voltage contains periodic oscillations due to the differences in the phase angle of sampled data during calculation. The proposed algorithm precisely calculates and updates the initial phase angle of the first sampled voltage in a half-cycle period using phase-locked loop, which is commonly utilized for phase angle detection in grid-tie inverter systems. The accuracy and dynamic performance of the proposed algorithm are compared with those of other algorithms through various simulations and experiments.

Solar energy is desirable due to its renewable and pollution-free properties. In order to utilize the present utility grid infrastructure for power transmission and distribution, a do-dc boost converter and grid connected dc-to-ac inverters are needed for solar power generation. The dc-dc boost converter allows the PV system to operate at high do-link voltage. The single-phase inverter provides the necessary voltage and frequency for interconnection to the grid. In this paper, first, current loop transfer function of a single-phase grid-tie inverter has been systematically derived Second the MPPT of conductance increment method at converter side is proposed to supply the maximum power to the inverter side. Simulation results are shown to access the performance of PV system and its behaviour at the interconnection point.
