자립 운전시 전력조절기는 일반적으로 태양광 발전에서 사용을 할 경우 부하에 의해 출력이 결정되어 최대전력 추종을 할 수 없는 구조로 되어있다. 본 연구에서는 자립 운전시의 태양광 발전시스템이 안정적인 최대전력 추종을 할 수 있도록 에너지 저장장치가 결합된 구조를 제안하였다. 이러한 구조에서는 태양광 발전의 전력 손실을 줄이고 또한 태양광 발전 전력이 부족할 경우에서도 부하 측의 안정적인 동작을 보장하기 위하여 에너지 저장장치와 DC-DC 양방향 컨버터를 이용한다. 에너지 저장장치의 한 예로 슈퍼커패시터를 충 방전함으로써 태양광 발전 에너지에 의한 안정적인 출력을 낼 수 있고, 태양광 발전 전력의 효율적인 사용을 위한 전력조절 시스템의 아키텍처를 제안하고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 전압형 3상 ZSI(Z-source Inverter)의 입력전압과 커패시터 충전전압을 검출하고 ZSI의 기본 정의를 이용해 지령전압에 대한 변조지수(Modulation Index)를 결정하는 방법과 출력전압 제어가 가능한 변형된 SVM(공간벡터 변조방식)으로 구성된 알고리즘을 소개한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 ZSI의 이득과 변조지수의 정의를 이용한 간단한 방법으로 변조지수를 변화시켜 출력전압을 일정하게 유지하는 방법이다. PSIM을 통하여 타당성을 입증하였다.

A SCALDO(Supercapacitor Assisted LDO) regulator is a newly studied regulator to improve the efficiency of a LDO regulator. Commonly a LDO regulator has very low efficiency and a SCALDO regulator can improve it considerably because this regulator can reuse meaninglessly wasted energy at the LDO regulator by a supercapacitor witch is attached between input and a LDO regulator. However this regulator has several challenges because it is a being studied regulator. One of them is an overvoltage issue. At initial operating of this regulator, a supercapacior is totally discharged and input is connected with a supercapacitor and a LDO regulator in series. Thus, input voltage is enabled to a LDO regulator and this input voltage is a significant value to a LDO regulator because commonly input voltage is bigger than twice output voltage. In this paper, to solve this overvoltage issue, we proposed a new SCALDO regulator that has a pre-charger for charging a supercapacitor before starting operation. And we found that a proposed SCALDO regulator can properly reduce overvoltage of a LDO regulator through experiments.

This paper proposed hybrid converter to operate over a wide output load power. The switched-capacitor converter has a high efficiency at low load power and a low efficiency at high load power. On the contrary, the buck converter has a high efficiency at high load power and a low efficiency at low load power. The proposed hybrid converter has combination of the switched-capacitor converter and the buck converter. The switched-capacitor operates at low load power and buck converter operates at high load power, so that the hybrid converter is improved power efficiency at wide output load power. The hybrid converter was implemented with a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The hybrid converter has a range of the load power between $50{\mu}W$and 100mW. The maximum power efficiencies are 93% and 77% at the buck converter and the switched-capacitor converter, respectively.

본 논문에서는 인덕터와 커패시터(LC)를 이용한 새로운 전압 밸런서(VB)를 제안한다. 제안한 VB는 하프-브리지 및 Neutral-Point-Clamped 구조처럼 이중 출력을 가진 Dual-Active-Bridge (DAB) 컨버터에 적용될 수 있다. 제안한 VB는 추가적인 스위칭 소자를 사용하지 않더라도 출력 부하 조건에 관계없이 출력 전압 평형을 유지할 수 있다. 제안한 VB를 사용할 때, 변압기와 출력의 중성점 사이에 LC가 추가되지만, 컨버터의 PWM 방식과 동작은 기존과 대부분 동일하다. 따라서, 제안한 VB를 사용하는 이중 출력 DAB 컨버터는 기존 이중 출력 DAB 컨버터의 장점을 대부분 유지한 상태로 출력 전압 평형을 달성할 수 있다. 3 kW 시제품을 제작하여 제안한 VB의 성능을 검증하였다.

The performance of 4-switch 3-phase inverter(FSTPI) is mainly affected by the unbalanced voltages between two capacitors which replace two switches of conventional 6-switch 3-phase inverter(SSTPI). This paper proposes a DC offset current injection method to compensate the capacitor voltage unbalance for FSTPI. A simplified SVPWM method which can be applied to FSTPI is also proposed. The validity of the proposed methods is verified by computer simulation.

This paper proposes a Carrier-Rotation (CR) PWM technique that is a new solution for the voltage unbalancing problem of flying capacitors in the Flying Capacitor Multi-level Inverter (FCMI). The proposed technique equalizes the utilization of phase leg voltage redundancies corresponding to the charging and the discharging state of individual flying capacitors during each switching period of all the switches. Therefore, the charging and the discharging quantity of flying capacitors are equal, which makes the average variation of flying capacitor voltages become zero and keeps their voltage stable during minimum specified period. It also has the reduced harmonic contents of output voltage and the same switch utilization since all the carrier signals are in phase and the switching frequency of each switch is identical. The proposed technique is analyzed precisely in flying capacitor 3-level inverter and then it has expanded to the FCMI (N-level, N>3). Experimental results on the laboratory prototype flying capacitor 3-level inverter confirm the validity of the proposed technique.

Many industrial regions has used and extended the application of LED driver because of many advantage. Specially, due to the simplicity, miniaturization and power density, the flyback converter is selected by a lot of power engineer. Also, the electrolytic capacitor in this converter is used for the constant DC voltage of the converter because of the sufficient capacitance and the economic price. However, because of the characteristics of the electrolytic capacitor and ripple currents on the converter. the expected lifetime of the LED driver is more and more shorted. In this paper, a single-stage CCM PFC flyback converter with the film capacitor is suggested to extended the lifetime of the LED driver. In addition, the proposed converter with the LC filter is decreased the ripple current of the converter output.
