The power circuit design of an on-board S-band transmitter for KSLV-II with derating(operation of a component at less than its maximum rated specification to enhance reliability) is investigated. The power circuit of the transmitter consists of linear voltage regulators, DC/DC converters for regulating the DC supply, and diodes for reverse voltage protection. After analyzing the load current of the components, derating requirements are explored. Furthermore, power dissipation and junction temperature rise are considered with respect to the load current. The analysis is compared to the results from an engineering model of the transmitter. The temperature of the components is derated by >$40^{\circ}C$ in an environment where the ambient temperature is $+60^{\circ}C$, which is the acceptance test specification of high temperature.

In this study, research and a demonstration for applying DC distribution systems to ships as an environmental and energy conservation solution in domestic and foreign countries were actively carried out. In order to apply a generator to a DC distribution system, a variable speed engine was used. Both engine speed and fuel consumption were reduced. In this paper, a DC generator for DC distribution was constructed using a diesel generator, a generator controller, a governor, and an AVR. A system configuration method for a generator, power quality test, and the power characteristics of a variable speed generator were analyzed. The voltage (250 - 440 VAC) and frequency (34 - 60 Hz) of the variable speed generator were set to 60 - 100 % of the rated value, and the engine was set to operate from 1100 - 1800 rpm. It was confirmed that the voltage, current, and frequency of the generator output fluctuated in a stable manner according to the power amount when changing the engine speed of the generator according to the load variation.

The satellite includes many release mechanisms such as solar array deployment, antenna deployment, cover to protect contamination in scientific equipment, pyro value of the propulsion subsytem, and bypass device in Li-Ion cell module. A drive the initiators is a critical to the successful mission because the initiators of release mechanism driving by the pyrotechnic circuit is operated in single short. The pyrotechnic circuit has to provide switching network for safety. A typical switching network has defect consisting of high current rating fire switch to handle switching transient current during fire the initiator. The pyrotechnic circuit is required some form of power conditioning to reduce the peak power demanded from the bus if the initiators are to be fired from the main bus. This paper design a pyrotechnic circuit synchronized to the fire-command to activate the fire switch to overcome use high current rating fire switch to handle switching transient current during fire the initiator. The pyrotechnic circuit provides a current limited widow pulse for fire current synchronized to the fire-command to insure that fire switch will only carry the current but never switch it. The current limited widow pulse for fire current can be possible to use low current rating and light mass switch in switching network. The current limit function in the pyrotechnic circuit reduces supply voltage to initiator and provides the effect of power conditioning function to reduce peak bus power. The pyrotechnic circuit to apply satellite development on geostationary orbit is verified the function by test in development model.

Since 2017, a total of 29 fire accidents have occurred in energy storage systems (ESSs) as of June 2020. The common mode voltage (CMV) is one of the electrical hazards that is assumed to be a cause of those fire accidents. Several cases of CMV that violate the allowable insulation level of a battery section are being reported in actual ESS operation sites with △-Y winding connections. Thus, this paper evaluates the characteristics of CMV. An ESS site was modeled with an AC grid, PCS, and battery sections using PSCAD/EMTDC software. As a result of a simulation based on the proposed model, it was confirmed that characteristics of CMV vary significantly and are similar to actual measurements, depending on the grounding method of the internal transformer for PCS. The insulation level of the battery section may be severely degraded as the value of CMV exceeds the rated voltage in case of a grounding connection. It was found that the value of CMV dramatically declines when the internal transformer for PCS is operated as non-grounding connection, so it meets the standard insulation level.

PHEV(Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) and BEV(Battery Electric Vehicle) equip high voltage batteries to drive motor and vehicle electric system. Those vehicle require OBC(On-Board Charger) for charging batteries and LDC(Low DC/DC Converter) for converting from high voltage to low voltage. Since the charger and the converter actually separate each other in electrical vehicles, there is a margin to reduce the vehicle weight and area of installation by integration two systems. This paper studies a 1.5kW LDC converter that can be integrated into an OBC using an isolated current-fed converter by simplifying the design of LDC transformers. The proposed LDC can control the final output voltage of the LDC by using a fixed arbitrary output voltage of the bidirectional buck-boost converter, so that Compared to the existing OBC-LDC integrated system, it has the advantage of simplifying the transformer design considering the battery voltage range, converter duty ratio and OBC output turn ratio. Prototype of the proposed LDC was made to confirm normal operation at 200V ~ 400V input voltage and maximum efficiency of 91.885% was achieved at rated load condition. In addition, the OBC-LDC integrated system achieved a volume of about 6.51L and reduced the space by 15.6% compared to the existing independent system.

In this paper, we dealt with the design and fabrication of a medium pressure ultra-violet (UV) lamp and a magnetic ballast which are main components for ballast water treatment systems (BWTS). To acquire an optimal discharge condition of UV lamp, electrical and optical characteristics depending on the argon gas volume and the amount of mercury were experimentally analyzed. Rated voltage, current and power consumption of a prototype lamp were 490 [V], 8.6 [A] and 4.0 [kW], respectively. UV intensity of the lamp was 15 [%] higher than that of an equivalent lamp which is used in a BWTS. The magnetic ballast was designed in a UI core type through theoretical analysis and simulation. The open voltage and the rated power consumption of the ballast were 920 [V] and 8.5 [kVA] respectively. The disinfection efficacy which is carried out in a BWTS equipped with the UV lamp and magnetic ballast was over 99.99 [%], and this satisfy the IMO regulations.

A high-efficiency electronic ballast for HID lamps is presented. The ballast consists of a PFC and a resonant inverter. To reduce losses of the ballast, DC link voltage should be determined by taking into account the peak voltage of lamp and the maximum flux density should be kept 0.2[T] on all of inductors. AR inductor at bridge diode is employed in order to remove currant harmonics from PFC. An inductor is connected in series with an electrolytic capacitor at DC link to reject high-frequency current. The acoustic resonance is eliminated using the stead spectrum technique. The electronic ballast for 250[W] metal-halide discharge lamp is implemented and 96[%] efficiency, no acoustic resonance and low conducted EMI level are accomplished.

Among single-phase photovoltaic inverters that can avoid excessive leakage current caused by the large parasitic capacitance of photovoltaic panels, a boost converter followed by a half-bridge inverter is the simplest and has the smallest leakage current. However, due to the high DC-link voltage, the rated voltage of the switching devices is high and the switching loss is large. This paper proposes a new circuit topology which can operate as a buck-boost inverter by adding two bidirectional switches to the output side of the half-bridge inverter instead of removing the boost converter. By reducing two stages of power conversion through the high-voltage DC-link to one stage, power loss can be reduced without increasing costs and leakage current. The feasibility of the proposed circuit topology is verified by computer simulation and power loss calculation.
