Provided are a substation system including an energy storage device, a method of calculating capacity of the energy storage device, and a control apparatus for the same. The control apparatus may include a charge and discharge determination unit configured to determine a charge or discharge operation of an energy storage device based on whether a measured output value is within an output operation range; a forecast error determination unit configured to determine a ratio of a period in which the measured output value is out of the output operation range with respect to a total period; and a capacity determination unit configured to determine capacity of the energy storage device based on the ratio.

Substation including energy storage system, method for assessment of capacity of the same and apparatus therefor

A microgrid control system includes a power transmission system configured to supply power to a microgrid, the microgrid configured to receive power from the power transmission system and to supply power to at least one or more distributed generators or into at least one or more loads, a DC converter configured to convert power that is supplied to the microgrid, and a converter control unit configured to measure a first power frequency variation of the microgrid and a second power frequency variation of the power transmission system and to control active power that is transmitted to the microgrid by the DC converter.

Microgrid control system and method for the same

The present invention relates to a tap switch control method, which comprises the steps of: measuring data of a distribution system; calculating a second dead band and a reference voltage using the measured data; comparing the difference between the measured actual voltage and the reference voltage with a first dead band; comparing the difference between the actual voltage and the reference voltage with the second dead band, when the difference between the actual voltage and the reference voltage is outside the first dead band as a result of the comparison with the first dead band; and controlling the tap of the transformer, when the difference between the actual voltage and the reference voltage is outside the second dead band as a result of the comparison with the second dead band. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a frequent operation of tap switching due to the fluctuations of the system and distributed power supply by applying the double dead band and to ensure the transformer's lifespan.

A power grid frequency flexible operation system is provided. The system comprises a generating unit, which includes a base-load unit and a peak-load unit; a high voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission unit, which transmits the power generated in the generating unit as direct current (DC) power; and a load, which is supplied with the power generated by the generating unit; wherein the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission unit comprises a converter, which transforms to direct current (DC) power, alternating current (AC) power generated in the generating unit and having a first frequency variation allowance range; an inverter, which is connected to the converter and transforms the direct current (DC) power to alternating current (AC) power having a second frequency variation allowance range, wherein the first frequency variation allowance range is larger than the second frequency variation allowance range.
