This paper proposes an enhanced distributed generation (DG) unit with an adaptive virtual impedance control approach in order to address the inaccurate reactive power sharing problem. The proposed method can adaptively regulate the DG virtual impedance, and the effect of the mismatch in feeder impedances is compensated to share the reactive power accurately. The proposed control strategy is fully distributed and the need for the microgrid central controller is eliminated. Furthermore, the proposed method can be directly implemented without requirement of pre-knowledge of the feeder impedances. Simulations are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.

As the demand for electric power increases rapidly and the amount of fossil fuels decreases year by year, making use of renewable resources seem very necessary. However, due to the discontinuous nature of renewable resources and the hierarchical topology of existing grids, power quality and grid stability will deteriorate as more and more distributed generations (DGs) are connected to the grids. It is a good idea to combine local utilization, local consumption, energy storage and DGs to form a grid-friendly micro grid, these micro grids can then assembled into an intelligent power system - the smart Grid. It can optimize power flow and integrate power generation and consumption effectively. Most importantly, the power quality and grid stability can be improved greatly. This paper depicts how the smart grid addresses the current issues of a power system. It also figures out the key technologies and expectations of the smart grid.

In general, the unidirectional power flow is normal in distribution feeders before activation of distributed power source such as PV. However, the interactive power flow is likely to occur in case of the power system under distributed generation. This interactive power flow can cause an unexpected effect on convectional protection coordination systems designed based only on the unidirectional power flow system. When the power line system encounters a problem, the interactive power flow can be a contributed current source and this makes the fault current bigger or smaller compared to the unidirectional case. The effect of interactive power flow is varied depending on the location of the point to ground fault, relative location of the PV, and connection method. Therefore it is important to analyse characteristics of fault current and interactive flow for various transformer connection and location of the PV. This paper proposes a method of improved protection coordination which can be adopted in the protective device for customers in distribution feeders interconnected with the PV. The proposed method is simulated and analysed using PSCAD/EMTDC under various conditions.

In this paper, A new algorithm for load flow calculation is proposed for radial distribution network. Feeder Remote Terminal Unit (FRTU) is utilized to collect data such as current magnitude and angle of power factor at each node. Proposed algorithm is based on the model of distributed load in distribution system. Load flow calculation is using four terminal constants method.

This paper describes the operation analysis results of a communication-based DC micro-grid using a hardware simulator developed in the lab. The developed hardware simulator is composed of distributed generation devices such as wind power, photovoltaic power and fuel cells, and energy storage devices such as super-capacitors and batteries. Whole system monitoring and control was implemented using a personal computer. The power management scheme was implemented in a main controller based on a TMS320F28335 chip. The main controller is connected with the local controller in each of the distributed generator and energy storage devices through the communication link based on a CAN or an IEC61850. The operation analysis results using the developed hardware simulator confirm the ability of the DC micro-grid to supply the electric power to end users.

This paper describes the development of a new islanding detection method for inverter-based distributed generation systems, which uses a signal cross-correlation scheme between the injected reactive current and the power frequency deviation. The proposed method injects 1% of the reactive current to the rated current which brings about a negligible degradation of the power quality. It discriminates the islanding state, when the calculated cross-correlation index is larger than 0.5. The operational feasibility was verified through computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software and experimental research with a hardware prototype. The proposed method can detect the islanding state without degrading the power quality at the point of common connection. Further study is required to overcome the cancellation of the injected reactive current from multiple distributed generation units interconnected with the utility grid.

Voltage-controlled voltage source inverter (VCVSI) based distributed generation systems (DGS) using renewable energy sources (RES) is becoming increasingly popular as grid support systems in both remote isolated grids as well as end of rural distribution lines. In VCVSI based DGS for load voltage stabilization, the power angle between the VCVSI output voltage and the grid is an important design parameter because it affects not only the power flow and the power factor of the grid but also the capacity of the grid, the sizing of the decoupling inductor and the VCVSI. In this paper, the steady state modeling and analysis in terms of power flow and power demand of the each component in the system at the different values of maximum power angle is presented. System design considerations are examined for various load and grid conditions. Experimental results conducted on a I KVA VCVSI based DGS prove the analysis and simulation results.

본 논문은 신재생을 배전계통에 추가 수용하기 위해 배전계통의 접속허용기준을 상향하여 운전하는 방안을 검토하고 실증한 결과를 분석하는 내용을 다룬다. 대한민국의 배전계통의 경우, 일반적인 공용배전선로는 최대 10 MVA까지 신재생이 접속할 수 있도록 규정하고 있으며 신재생으로 인해 발생하는 역조류에 의해 계통전압이 전기사업법에서 지정한 범위를 초과하지 않아야 한다. 그러나 배전계통에 상시 존재하는 최소부하 및 발전원의 발전 특성에 따라 신재생을 추가 접속할 수 있는 여유용량이 존재할 수 있음을 고려해야 한다. 따라서 배전계통의 접속허용용량 기준 상향 검토를 위해, 신재생이 접속허용한도인 10 MVA만큼 최대한 접속된 상황에서 모든 신재생이 배전계통운영자에 의해 감시되고 있는 배전선로를 선정하여 단계적인 추가 접속을 시행하였다. 신재생으로 인한 배전계통의 전력조류와 전압 프로파일 영향을 분석함으로써 현재의 기준을 초과하여 신재생을 접속 시킬 때 발생 가능한 계통영향 분석과 더불어 향후 고려해야할 요인을 정의한다.

최근 정부의 미래에너지변환 정책에 따라 천연가스를 활용한 분산발전 시장은 점차 확대될 것으로 예상된다. 분산발전은 전력 수요지 주위의 소규모 발전원을 활용하는 발전방식으로 송배전 인프라 구축 비용과 운용비용, 전력손실을 줄일수 있는 장점이 있다. 천연가스를 이용한 분산발전의 대표적인 예로 Trigeneration System이 있다. 본 연구에서는 Trigeneration System에서 발생되는 냉열 및 엔진 배열을 이용하여 공조대상 실내의 습공기를 제습/냉방/난방 하는 제습공조시스템의 성능 분석에 대한 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과 제습공조시스템 입출구 온도차가 커질수록 시스템 효율은 높아지고 일반공조시스템 대비 에너지 소비량이 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
