Abstract

Recently, new distributed power sources such as photovoltaic, wind power, fuel cell systems etc. are energetically interconnected and operated in the distribution feeders, as one of the national projects for alternative energy. When new power sources are considered to be interconnected to distribution systems, bi-directional power flow and interconnection conditions of new power sources may cause several power quality problems like voltage sag, voltage swell, harmonics, since new power sources can change typical characteristics of distribution systems. Under these situations, this paper deals with the analysis the power quality problems at primary and secondary feeders in distribution systems, when new power sources like photovoltaic (PV) systems are interconnected, by using the test devices for PV systems based on the LabVIEW S/W. This paper presents the test device which is consisted with model distribution system and model PV systems. By performing the simulation for power quality operation characteristic based on the test facilities, this paper presents the optimal countermeasures for power quality.

현재 신 재생에너지 보급사업에 의해 설치되고 있는 태양광전원설비가 전력계통과 연계 운영될 경우 배전계통의 전력품질 요소에 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는지를 모의시험을 통해 정확히 측정 분석하여 향후 분산형전원의 확대 보급에 따른 가이드라인의 구축과 기술적인 연계지침이 필요한 상황이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 태양광이 연계되는 위치에 따른 선로임피던스($R{\pm}jX$)에 의하여 생기는 전압상승 및 하강에 의한 전력품질[Sag/Swell] 저하 현상에 대하여 태양광전원용 LabVIEW 프로그램을 통해 전력품질 시험을 수행하여 그 특성을 분석한다.
