Fuel Cell Connection Inverters used for Unbalance Compensation in Low Voltage Distribution Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the benefits that can be achieved by operating the connection inverters of the distributed energy resources as active power filters in LV distribution networks. The use of the future fuel cell inverters to compensate zero sequence currents, arising from unbalances among phases, can improve the efficiency of the distribution networks by means of reducing the total amount of losses. A common unbalanced load connected to a LV feeder where a FC inverter is present has been simulated. The reductions in the distribution power losses and compensation of zero sequence currents have been analyzed.

متن کاملA New Control Strategy for Voltage Restoration and Voltage Unbalance Compensation in an Islanded Droop-Controlled Microgrid
Low voltage microgrids including sensitive loads often face unbalanced load conditions. Therefore, a compensation procedure should be carried out in order to balance and restore sensitive load’s voltage. In this paper, an effective voltage control strategy has been proposed for the autonomous operation of microgrids, under unbalanced load conditions. The proposed strategy balances single-phase...
متن کاملVoltage Unbalance and Harmonics Compensation for Islanded Microgrid Inverters
Voltage source inverters (VSIs) are usually used for all kinds of distributed generation interfaces in a microgrid. It’s the microgrid’s superiority to power the local loads continuously when the utility fails. When in islanded mode the voltage and frequency of the microgrid are determined by the VSIs, therefore the power quality can be deteriorated under unbalanced and nonlinear loads. A volta...
