본 논문에서는 ITER 펄스전원계통의 무효전력보상기(Reactive Power Compensator)의 해석 및 검증에 대하여 기술하였다. ITER 펄스전원계통은 66kV에 흐르는 무효전력량을 250MVar이하로 제한하기 위하여 정지형 무효전력보상기(Static Var Compensator)의 대표적인 장치인 싸이리스터 제어 리액터(TCR)와 고조파 필터(HF)로 구성된 무효전력보상기(RPC)를 사용한다. RPC에 적용되어 여러 ITER 초전도 코일 전원장치에서 발생하는 무효전력의 크기를 예측하여 보상하는 무효전력 보상기법을 해석한다. 본 논문에서는 RPC의 무효전력 보상동작을 실제 제어기와 RTDS를 연동하여 실험하여 검증하였고, RPC의 유무에 따라서 66kV 계통의 무효전력 최대값이 120MVar에서 40MVar로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a new dual loop control using novel vector phase locked loop(VP-PLL) for a high power static var compensator(SVC) with three-level GTO voltage source inverter(VSI). Through circuit DQ-transformation, a simple dq-axis equivalent circuit is obtained. From this, DC analysis is carried out to obtain maximum controllable phase angle ${\alpha}_{max}$ per unit current between the three phase source and the switching function of inverter, and AC open-loop transfer function is given. Because ${\alpha}_{max}$ becomes small in high power SVC, this paper proposes VP-PLL for more accurate $\alpha$-control. As a result, the overall control loop has dual loop structure, which consists of inner VP-PLL for synchronizing the phase angle with source and outer Q-loop for compensating reactive power of load. Finally, the validity of the proposed control method is verified through the experimental results.

Large steel industries have time-varying nonlinear loads including electric arc furnaces. These nonlinear loads generate harmonic currents and create distortions on the sinusoidal voltage of the power system. Flicker can be defined as the effect produced on the human visual perception by a changing emission of light lamps subjected to magnitude fluctuations of their supply voltage. The main objective of the static var compensator(SVC) is to maintain the rms voltage at the point of common coupling within the limit. In this paper, harmonic and flicker mitigation studies with and without the SVC are investigated and are evaluated by the IEC 61000-3-6 and IEC 61000-3-7.

An electric arc furnace being used in the steel industry is a time-varying non-linear load causing voltage fluctuations to the power system. Flicker can be defined as the effect produced on the human visual perception by a changing emission of light lamps subjected to magnitude fluctuations of their supply voltage. The level of flicker depends on the amplitude, frequency and duration of the voltage fluctuations. In this paper, the voltage fluctuation problem in an 154[kV] system due to the electric arc furnace loads is investigated and the analysis results of the static var compensator application for the voltage flicker mitigation are presented and evaluated by the IEC 61000-3-7.

전력계통은 전력수요의 지속적인 성장에 따라서 전력설비의 추가를 지속적으로 추진하고 있지만, 심해지는 환경문제 등으로 인해 용지 확보에 어려움이 있다. 이로 인해 송전선로 장거리화, 용량부족량 등 전력계통에 여러 가지 복잡한 문제가 야기되는데. 이것은 곧 전력계통의 안정도와 직결된다. 이러한 문제를 효과적이면서 경제적인 해결방법으로 FACT(Flexible AC Transmission System)기술이 주목 받고 있다. FACTS 기기 중 SVC(Static Var Compensator)는 상용운전 중이며, 기존 동기조상기에 비해 저렴하고, 신속 정확한 전압제어를 하는 장점이 있다. SVC는 TCR(Thyristor Controlled Reactor)과 TSC(Thyristor Switched Capacitor), FC(Fixed Capacitor)등 여러 종류의 구성을 가지고 있다. 합성시험회로설비(Synthetic Test Circuit)는 Thyristor로 구성된 TCR, TSC Valve를 실제 운전조건으로 동작시켜 SVC Valve의 신뢰성을 검증하는 설비이다. 특히, TSC Valve는 운전시 초기 과전류가 발생하는 운전특성상 이에 대한 평가기준에 따른 시험을 통해 신뢰성을 반드시 검증하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 IEC 61954에서 제시하는 시험평가 기준에 의거하여 TSC의 Overcurrent Test를 위한 STC 평가 방법를 기술하고 설계된 TSC 시험을 위한 STC topology와 Simulation으로 검증 방법을 기술한다.

This paper deals with a systematic approach to GA-PI controller design for static VAR compensator(SVC) using genetic algorithms(GAs) which are search algorithms based on the mechanics of natural of natural selection and natural genetics, to improve system stability. A SVC, one of the Flexible AC Transmission System(FACTS), constructed by a fixed capacitor(FC) and a thyristor controlled reactor(TCR), is designed and implemented to improve the damping of a synchronous generator, as well as controlling the system voltage. To verify the robustness of the proposed method, considered dynamic response of generator used deviation and generator terminal voltage by applying a power fluctuation and three-phase fault at heavy load, normal load and light load. Thus, we proved usefulness of GA-PI controller design to improve the stability of single machine-infinite bus with SVC system.

In this paper, it is suggested that the selection method of parameter of Power System Stabilizer(PSS) with robustness in low frequency oscillation for Static VAR Compensator(SVC) using a Real Variable Elitism Genetic Algorithm(RVEGA). A SVC, one of the Flexible AC Transmission System(FACTS), constructed by a fixed capacitor(FC) and a thyristor controlled reactor(TCR), is designed and implemented to improve the damping of a synchronous generator, as well as controlling the system voltage. The proposed PSS parameters are optimized using RVEGA in order to maintain optimal operation of generator under the various operating conditions. To decrease the computational time, real variable string is adopted. To verify the robustness of the proposed method, we considered the dynamic response of generator speed deviation and generator terminal voltage by applying a power fluctuation and three-phase fault at heavy load, normal load and light load. Thus, we prove the usefulness of proposed method to improve the stability of single machine-infinite bus with SVC system.

In this paper, it is suggested that the selection method of parameter of Power System Stabilizer(PSS) with robustness in low frequency oscillation for Static VAR Compensator(SVC) using a self tuning fuzzy controller for a synchronous generator excitation and SVC system. The proposed parameter self tuning algorithm of fuzzy controller is based on the steepest decent method using two direction vectors which make error between inference values of fuzzy controller and output values of the specially selected PSS reduce steepestly. Using input-output data pair obtained from PSS, the parameters in antecedent part and in consequent part of fuzzy inference rules are learned and tuned automatically using the proposed steepest decent method.
