This paper discusses the use of centralized control method in an Intelligent Energy Management System (iEMS) to prevent voltage violation after load transfer between distribution feeders with high PV penetration level. The proposed method comprises three control modes with different control algorithms for regulating both reactive and active power output of PV inverters in a distribution system with multiple PV installations. Before the execution of load transfer, the total reactive power compensation required at the critical Point of Common Coupling (PCC) is solved by the reactance of distribution feeder line segment to prevent system voltage violation. With the proposed control algorithms, the iEMS dispatches total reactive power compensation among PV systems according to the reactance of line segment and issues the control command to each PV inverter for adjustment of PV power generation so that the ancillary service of voltage support can be provided by all PV systems in a fairer manner. A practical Cimei island distribution feeder pair is selected for computer simulation to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method after load transfer between two feeders.

In this paper, the effect of the line impedance difference between various inverters on power sharing with the traditional droop control method is fully analyzed. It reveals that the line impedance difference causes a significant reactive power error. An improved droop control method to eliminate the reactive power errors caused by the line impedance errors is proposed. In the proposed method, a voltage compensation determined by the actual reactive power error between the local inverter and the average one is added into the local voltage reference based on the CAN communication. Even when the communication is interrupted, the controller will operate with the last value of the average power, which still outperforms the traditional method. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified by simulation and experimental results, which show the proposed method possesses the better power sharing performance and dynamic response.

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to present a reactive power compensation for small hydropower plants with an induction generator. The classic compensation with capacitors is discussed and its improvement is proposed. Instead of capacitors, a three level power electronic converter connected in parallel to the induction generator can be used to provide reactive power compensation. The purpose of the paper is to present the developed structure of an active compensator and its control method. The developed control method was verified on a laboratory stand. The project and the methods: As part of research, an active compensator was built as a three-level power electronic converter in topology with Neutral Point Clamped. Laboratory tests of a converter compensator were carried out on a stand equipped with an induction generator with a power of 7.5 kW. Laboratory system measurements were made using a power analyzer and an oscilloscope. Results: A control structure of an active compensator based on a voltage-oriented method was presented and discussed. The operation of the con- verter compensator has been verified on a laboratory stand equipped with a 7.5 kW induction generator. The compensator current reduces the reactive (inductive) component of the current consumed from a power grid to a value equal to zero. The reactive power compensator ensures that the tgφ power factor is maintained at a set value of zero, which corresponds to the total compensation of inductive reactive power consumed by an induction generator working in a hydropower plant. Operation of the active compensator did not cause a significant increase in the harmonic content in the current consumed from the power grid. Conclusions: The paper presents the issues regarding reactive power compensation in hydropower plants with induction generators. Commonly used capacitor compensation has been covered and as a result, it is proposed to replace it with power electronics converter compensation of reactive power connected in parallel induction generators. Active compensator provides compensation for the entire reactive power consumed by the induction generator. The use of the converter compensator of reactive power significantly contributes to the reduction of costs for reactive power incurred by the owners of hydropower plants. The reactive power compensator also has a positive impact on the operation of the entire power grid, power losses from the reactive component of the current on the impedances of power grid components are limited. Keywords: renewable source of electricity, reactive power, active compensator, induction generator Type of article: original scientific article

According to the operation features that voltage of wind farm fluctuate greatly, we analyzed the operation features of reactive power compensation equipment and put forward the coordination control method of compensation equipment. The method solved the problem for a single for reactive compensation equipment caused by the slow speed and poor economy. Based on the target of safe and economical operation, we raised that using composite indicator calculate the capacity of all kinds of required compensation equipment, and then we had coordinated control to compensation equipments. This paper gave an example of Guazhou Gansu and tested and verified the feasibility and effectivity of the method.
