Compared with a traditional power system of electricity providers, distributed power systems consist of power suppliers which are small and demand-oriented. Each small power supplier tends to utilizes renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. It is because that home renewable energy systems do not need a large scale infrastructure which is required for traditional power plants. In this work we study an economic feasibility of such a renewable energy source. We describe how renewable power generation works and what it brings in terms of economic benefits. Also, we analyze limitations by the current policy and their possible solutions.

The efficient electric power demand management in electric power supply industry is currently being changed by distributed generation. Meanwhile, small-scale distributed generation systems using renewable energy are being constructed worldwide. Several small-scale renewable distributed generation systems, which can supply electricity to the grid at peak load of the grid as per policy such as demand response programs, could help in the stability of the electric power demand management. In this case, the power quality of the small-scale renewable distributed generation system is more significant. Low prices of power semiconductors and multilevel inverters with high power quality have been recently investigated. However, the conventional multilevel inverter topology is unsuitable for the small-scale renewable distributed generation system, because the number of devices of such topology increases with increasing output voltage level. In this paper, a single-phase multilevel inverter based on H-bridge, with DC_Link divided by bi-directional switches, is proposed. The proposed topology has almost half the number of devices of the conventional multilevel inverter topology when these inverters have the same output voltage level. Double Fourier series solution is mainly used when comparing PWM output harmonic components of various inverter topologies. Harmonic components of the proposed multilevel inverter, which have been analyzed by double Fourier series, are compared with those of the conventional multilevel inverter. An inverter prototype is then developed to verify the validity of the theoretical analysis.

신재생에너지 확대를 위한 배전자동화시스템의 안정성 평가를 위한 연구이다. 정부는 재생에너지 3020 이행계획 정책을 통해 2030년까지 신재생에너지를 확대하여 국민의 삶의 질을 높이는 참여형 에너지 체계로 전환할 계획이다. 정부는 2030년까지 재생에너지 발전량 비중을 국내 보급 에너지의 20%로 목표 설정하였다. 신규 설비용량의 95% 이상을 태양광 풍력 등 청정에너지로 설립할 계획이다. 재생에너지 보급 확대로 에너지 신사업과 분산전원 산업이 육성되어 과거의 대규모 전원 개발이 아닌 근거리, 저압, 소규모 발전이 급속히 확대되었다. 이런 수요로 인해 배전 설비 운영의 중요성이 대두 되었고 배전자동화시스템이 필요성 증대되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 배전자동화시스템의 성능 및 기능 평가를 위한 배전시뮬레이터 개발에 대해 다루었고 이와 배전자동화시스템과의 연동시험 결과를 제시한다. 배전계통에 진보된 시스템을 도입하기 위해서는 송변전시스템의 장점을 취해야 한다. 배전시스템에서 DNP3.0프로토콜을 사용하고 송배전시스템에서 IEC61850 프로토콜을 사용한다. 이 두 프로토콜을 배전자동화시스템에서 혼용하여 사용시 제어, 모니터링 등의 운영에 대한 기능과 성능을 충족한다는 결론을 보였다.

In this paper, the single-phase static VAR compensator (SVC) is applied to regulate and stabilize the generated terminal voltage of the single-phase self-excited induction generator (single-phase SEIG) driven by a variable-speed prime mover (VSPM) under the conditions of the independent inductive load variations and the prime mover speed changes The conventional fixed gain PI controller-based feedback control scheme is employed to adjust the equivalent capacitance of the single-phase SVC composed of the fixed excitation capacitor FC in parallel with the thyristor switched capacitor TSC and the thyristor controlled reactor TCR The feedback closed-loop terminal voltage responses in the single-phase SEIG coupled by a VSPM with different inductive passive load disturbances using the single-phase SVC with the PI controller are considered and discussed herem. A VSPM coupled the single-phase SEIG prototype setup is established. Its experimental results are illustrated as compared with its simulation ones and give good agreements with the digital simulation results for the single-phase SEIG driven by a VSPM, which is based on the SVC voltage regulation feedback control scheme.
