This paper presents a study on the power factor improvement of V47- 660 [kW] Wind Turbine Generation System (WTGS) in Jeju wind farm, as a model system in this paper. In this system, the power factor correction is controlled by the conventional method with power condensor banks. Also, this system has only four bank steps, and each one capacitor bank step is cut in every one second when the generator has been cut in. This means that it is difficult to compensate the reactive power exactly according to the variation of them. Actually, model system has very low power factor in the area of low wind speed, which is almost from 4 to 6 [m/s]. This is caused by the power factor correction using power condenser bank. To improve the power factor in the area of low wind speed, we used the static var compensator(SVC) using current controlled PWM power converter using IGBT switching device. Finally, to verify the proposed method, the results of computer simulation using Psim program are presented to support the discussions.

This paper describes a new stochastic heuristic algorithm in engineering problem optimization especially in power system applications. An improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) called adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO), mixed with simulated annealing (SA), is introduced and referred to as APSO-SA. This algorithm uses a novel PSO algorithm (APSO) to increase the convergence rate and incorporate the ability of SA to avoid being trapped in a local optimum. The APSO-SA algorithm efficiency is verified using some benchmark functions. This paper presents the application of APSO-SA to find the optimal location, type and size of flexible AC transmission system devices. Two types of FACTS devices, the thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) and the static VAR compensator (SVC), are considered. The main objectives of the presented method are increasing the voltage stability index and over load factor, decreasing the cost of investment and total real power losses in the power system. In this regard, two cases are considered: single-type devices (same type of FACTS devices) and multi-type devices (combination of TCSC, SVC). Using the proposed method, the locations, type and sizes of FACTS devices are obtained to reach the optimal objective function. The APSO-SA is used to solve the above non.linear programming optimization problem for better accuracy and fast convergence and its results are compared with results of conventional PSO. The presented method expands the search space, improves performance and accelerates to the speed convergence, in comparison with the conventional PSO algorithm. The optimization results are compared with the standard PSO method. This comparison confirms the efficiency and validity of the proposed method. The proposed approach is examined and tested on IEEE 14 bus systems by MATLAB software. Numerical results demonstrate that the APSO-SA is fast and has a much lower computational cost.

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.

본 논문에서는 직렬인버터를 이용한 2MVA SSFG(Sag Swell Flicker Generator)를 제안하였으며, 제안된 SSFG는 직렬인버터, DC 커패시터, 정류기, 클램프회로 등으로 구성되어 있다. SSFG는 선로에 순간전압강하/상승(sag/swell), 과전압/저전압(over/under voltage), 플리커(Flicker)등과 같은 전형적인 외란을 발생할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 인버터의 제어를 통해 상 뒤틀림(phase jump)도 구현 가능하다. 본 논문에서 제안된 2MVA SSFG의 효과적인 제어를 위해 세 가지 형태의 제어방식을 PSIM 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교${\cdot}$검토하였으며, 이 중 가장 효과적인 제어방식을 2MVA SSFG에 적용하여 순간전압강하, 순간전압상승, 플리커 등과 같은 외란발생 시험을 수행하였다.

This paper proposes a low voltage high current LLC resonant converter for Green PC. Green PC is composed of a lot of blade PCs, and it is a centralized system to manage them in computer center. Green PC should require that its power supplies have several characteristics such as low output voltage, high output current, and high power conversion efficiency. Conventional PSFB (Phase Shift Full Bridge) converter is usually used as DC/DC converter for computer power supply because it has high power conversion efficiency thanks to ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) operation under middle and high load conditions. However, this converter has some problems such as large switching noise and limitation of ZVS operation under light load condition. In order to improve the performance of power supply for Green PC, a new power supply using popular high efficiency LLC resonant converter for low voltage and high current application is proposed in this paper. The proposed power supply has ZVS capability over the entire load range, thus resulting in good efficiency and high switching frequency. Experimental results verify the performance of the proposed power supply for Green PC using 2[kW] (19[V], 105[A]) rated prototype converter.

This paper proposes a novel strategy for attenuating the output power fluctuation of the wind farm (WF) in a range of tens of seconds delivered to the grid, where the kinetic energy caused by the large inertia of the wind turbine systems is utilized. A control scheme of the two-level structure is applied to control the wind farm, which consists of a supervisory control of the wind farm and individual wind turbine controls. The supervisory control generates the output power reference of the wind farm, which is filtered out from the available power extracted from the wind by a low-pass filter (LPF). A lead-lag compensator is used for compensating for the phase delay of the output power reference compared with the available power. By this control strategy, when the reference power is lower than the maximum available power, some of individual wind turbines are operated in the storing mode of the kinetic energy by increasing the turbine speeds. Then, these individual wind turbines release the kinetic power by reducing the turbine speed, when the power command is higher than the available power. In addition, the pitch angle control systems of the wind turbines are also employed to limit the turbine speed not higher than the limitation value during the storing mode of kinetic energy. For coordinating the de-rated operation of the WT and the storing or releasing modes of the kinetic energy, the output power fluctuations are reduced by about 20%. The PSCAD/EMTDC simulations have been carried out for a 10-MW wind farm equipped with the permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) to verify the validity of the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 전력계통의 안정도를 향상시키기 위하여 동기 발전기와 정지형 무효전력 보상기예 대한 퍼지-PI 제어기를 설계하기 위한 제어 기법을 설명하였다. 정지형 무효전력 보상기는 고정된 용량의 커패시터와 싸이리스터 제어에 의하여 용량이 가변되는 인덕터가 병렬로 연결된 구조를 가지고 있으며, 시스템 전압을 제어할 뿐만 아니라 동기 발전기의 제동을 개선하기 위해 설계되었다. 본 논문에서 제안한 SVC 계통의 퍼지-PI 제어기의 파라미터는 퍼지 추론 기법에 의해 자동 동조되어진다. 퍼지 추론 기법은 일반적인 기법과는 달리 인간의 경험과 전문가의 지식을 제어 규칙으로 제어 동작을 결정하였다. 그리하여 인간의 추론 과정과 매우 유사한 MMGM을 이용하여 PI 이득의 퍼지 추론 기법을 SVC 계통에 적용하여 설명하였다. 제안된 방법의 강인성을 입증하기 위해 중부하시, 정상부하시 및 경부하시에 초기 전력을 변동시킨 경우에 대하여 시스템의 회전자각, 각속도 편차 특성 및 단자전압의 동특성을 고찰하여 기존의 전력시스템안정화장치보다 응답특성이 우수함을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 PID 제어기 응답을 보상하기위해 자기구성 신경망 보상기를 추가한 제어기를 제안한다. 기존의 PID 제어기는 제어기 설계가 간단하나 계수값을 설정하는데 많은 시행착오가 필요하다. 그리고, 신경망 제어 방식은 여러 파라미터들을 설계자의 임의에 따라 결정함으로써 최적의 구조를 갖지 못하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기위해 역전파 알고리즘을 기본으로 하여 은닉계층 노드의 활성화 함수로 가우시안 포텐셜함수를 사용하는 자기구성 신경망을 사용해, PID 제어기의 출력을 보상하도록 하였다. 자기구성 신경망은 학습을 진행함에 따라 가우시안 함수의 위치와 모양, 갯수가 자동으로 조정 되도록 하였다. 자기구성 신경망 보상기를 추가한 PID 제어기의 성능을 확인하기 위해서 2차 플랜트에 적용하여 모의 실험하였으며 DSP 프로세서를 사용하여 제어기를 구현한 후 유압 서보시스템의 속도 제어에 적용하여 실험결과를 관찰하였다.

본 논문은 다중출력 스위칭-모드 전원 공급 장치에서 변압기 2차 측의 출력전압 안정을 위하여, 일반적으로 사용하는 선형 전압조절기의 피드백 보상기의 제어신호를 이용하여 부하 전류정보를 측정하고, 모든 부하가 경부하 상태일 경우에만 대기전력 모드로 동작하도록 하였다. 기존 방식은 주제어기 출력의 부하상태에만 의존하여, 나머지 2차측 출력의 부하상태와 상관없이 대기전력을 저감하기 위한 간헐 스위칭 모드 (burst mode) 제어로 들어가는 문제가 있다. 기존의 전류센서 혹은 저항을 이용하여 부하전류 정보를 얻는 방식이 아닌 선형전압 조절기를 이용하여 시스템을 저가격화 하였으며 모든 출력이 경부하일 경우에만 대기모드로 전환 하도록 하여 출력전압의 신뢰성을 향상시켰다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 제어기 회로의 동작원리를 설명하고 시뮬레이션으로 검증 하였으며 25W급 하드웨어를 구현하여 제안된 회로를 검증한다.

This paper reports on a single-inductor multiple-output step-up converter with digital control. A systematic analog-to-digital-controller design is explained. The number of digital blocks in the feedback path of the proposed converter has been decreased. The simpler digital pulse-width modulation (DPWM) architecture is then utilized to reduce the power consumption. This architecture has several advantages because counters and a complex digital design are not required. An initially designed unit-delay cell is adopted recursively for the construction of coarse, intermediate, and fine delay blocks. A digital limiter is then designed to allow only useful code for the DPWM. The input voltage is 1.8 V, whereas output voltages are 2 V and 2.2 V. A co-simulation was also conducted utilizing PowerSim and Matlab/Simulink, whereby the 55 nm process was employed in the experimental results to evaluate the performance of the architecture.
