Wake effects cause wind turbine generators (WTGs) within a wind power plant (WPP) to produce different levels of active power and subsequent reactive power capabilities. Further, the impedance between a WTG and the point of interconnection (POI)-which depends on the distance between them-impacts the WPP's reactive power injection capability at the POI. This paper proposes a voltage control scheme for a WPP based on the available reactive current of the doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) and its impacts on the POI to improve the reactive power injection capability of the WPP. In this paper, a design strategy for modifying the gain of DFIG controller is suggested and the comprehensive properties of these control gains are investigated. In the proposed scheme, the WPP controller, which operates in a voltage control mode, sends the command signal to the DFIGs based on the voltage difference at the POI. The DFIG controllers, which operate in a voltage control mode, employ a proportional controller with a limiter. The gain of the proportional controller is adjusted depending on the available reactive current of the DFIG and the series impedance between the DFIG and the POI. The performance of the proposed scheme is validated for various disturbances such as a reactive load connection and grid fault using an EMTP-RV simulator. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme promptly recovers the POI voltage by injecting more reactive power after a disturbance than the conventional scheme.

This paper presents the position sensorless vector control of a cylindrical permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) in the field weakening region. The position sensorless algorithm using an instantaneous reactive power of the PMSM is proposed. An instantaneous reactive power can be obtained from the vector product of rotor currents and back emf of the PMSM. Back emf includes the information of rotor speed. So the estimated speed can be yielded from the voltage equation of the PMSM. In other words, the estimated speed is compensated by using an instantaneous reactive power. To extend the speed range of the PMSM in the constant horsepower region, the field weakening control is applied. The proposed algorithm is not affected by mechanical motor parameters because the mechanical equation is not used. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by the experimental results.

This paper presents a new method for optimal real and reactive power dispatch for the economic operation of a power system. Unlike the usual approach of minimizing the transmission loss, this method minimizes the total production cost not only for the real power optimization problem, but also for the reactive power optimization. The control variables are real power generation of units for real power optimization, and reactive power optimization. The constraints are the operating limits on these control variables and the limits on the bus voltages. Methematical models are developed to represent the sensitivity relationships between dependent and control variables for both real and reactive power optimization modules, and thus eliminate the use of B-coefficients. In order to handle many functional inequality constraints, a modified version of the gradient projection method is developed for optimization procedure, and has shown a remarkable advantage in computation efficiency.

In this study, a novel reactive power control scheme is proposed to supply stable reactive power to the distribution line by compensating a ripple voltage of DC link. In a single-phase system, a magnitude of second harmonic is inevitably generated in the DC link voltage, and this phenomenon is further increased when the capacity of DC link capacitor decreases. Reactive power control was performed by controlling the d-axis current in the virtual synchronous reference frame, and the voltage control for maintaining the DC link voltage was implemented through the q-axis current control. The proposed method for compensating the ripple voltage was classified into three parts, which consist of the extraction unit of DC link voltage, high pass filter (HPF), and time delay unit. HPF removes an offset component of DC link voltage extracted from integral, and a time delay unit compensates the phase leading effect due to the HPF. The compensated DC voltage is used as feedback component of voltage control loop to supply stable reactive power. The performance of the proposed algorithm was verified through simulation and experiments. At DC link capacitance of 375 uF, the magnitude of ripple voltage decreased to 8 Vpp from 74 Vpp in the voltage control loop, and the total harmonic distortion of the current was improved.

For stable integration of large-scale wind farms, integration standards (Grid codes) have been proposed by the system operator. In particular, voltage control of large-scale wind farms is gradually becoming important because of the increasing size of individual wind farms. Among the various voltage control methods, Secondary Voltage Control (SVC) is a method that can control the reactive power reserve of a control area uniformly. This paper proposes hybrid SVC when a large-scale wind farm is integrated into the power grid. Using SVC, the burden of a wind turbine converter for generating reactive power can be reduced. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, a simulation study is carried out for the Jeju system. The proposed strategy can improve the voltage conditions and reactive power reserve with this hybrid SVC.

This paper deals with the real and reactive power control of BESS(Battery Energy H Storage System) interconnected to power system. The real and reactive power control of proposed customer side BESS are performed by controlling the amplitude and the phase of inverter output voltage via power flow equation. Also in order to control the amplitude and phase of output voltage of proposed BESS, single-pulse width control method is used. The BESS and controller is implemented and the active and reactive power control is simulated by using the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation program.

This study focuses on a high-performance direct active and reactive power controller design that is successfully applicable to three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) AC/DC converters used in renewable distributed energy generation systems. The proposed controller can overcome the sluggish transient dynamic response of conventional controllers to rapid power command changes. Desired active and reactive powers can be thoroughly obtained at the end of each PWM period through a deadbeat solution. The proposed controller achieves an exact nonlinear cross-coupling decoupling of system power without using a predefined switching table or bang/bang hysteresis control. A graphical and analytical analysis that naturally leads to a control voltage vector selection is provided to confirm the finding. The proposed control strategy is evaluated on a 3 kW PWM AC/DC converter in the simulation and experiment.

This paper suggests local voltage control method to achieve coordinative control between STATCOM and other reactive power resources, such as Shunt Capacitor/Reactors and OLTC. Voltage/Reactive power control has various difficult aspects to control because of analysis and system dynamics error. This control method suggests practical algorithm regarding system voltage and reactive power status which is easy to implement in substation basis. In normal status, STATCOM-Shunts-OOTC are in operation. In emergency status, OLTC is locked. This algorithm is tested and verified in EMTDC.

In this paper, a new speed sensorless control based on an instantaneous reactive power is proposed for the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) drives. In proposed algorithm, the current observer estimates the line currents and the estimated speed can be yielded from the voltage equation because the information of speed is included in back EMF. To implement speed sensorless control, the current observer is composed by using the voltage equation of the IPMSM in the stationary reference frame fixed to the stator. The estimated speed of the rotor is composed by using the voltage equation of the IPMSM in the rotating reference frame fixed to the rotor The estimated speeds to minimize the speed error compensated by using the instantaneous reactive power. The instantaneous reactive power is calculated on the rotating reference frame fixed to the rotor. The effectiveness of the preposed algorithm is confirmed by the experiments.

풍력발전은 풍력단지가 전력계통과 접속되는 모선의 전압을 유지 또는 제어하기 위한 충분한 무효전력을 공급할 수 있어야 한다. 하지만 풍력단지와 계통 접속점(POI - Point of Interconnection) 모선을 연결하는 선로의 무효전력 손실 때문에 풍력터빈의 무효전력공급은 접속점의 전압을 제어하기에는 불충분하다. 이 문제는 접속점에 STATCOM(Static Synchronous Compensator)과 같은 부수적인 무효전력 보상장치를 설치하여 해결할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 STATCOM과 Switched-Shunt, 탭변환 변압기와 같은 기존의 무효전력 보상장치의 협조제어를 사용하면 더욱 효과적으로 접속점 모선의 전압을 제어할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제시한 방법을 이용하여 초기부하에 대하여 임의의 부하 변동률을 가지는 모의 시스템에 적용한 결과 접속점 모선의 전압강하는 60%이상 개선되었고 부하 모선의 전압은 정격전압의 95%이상을 유지하였다.
