When distributed generation such as a wind power system is connected to the grid, it should meet grid requirements like IEEE Std. 1547, which regulates the anti-islanding method. Since the islanding may cause damage on electrical equipments or safety hazards for utility line worker, a distributed generation should detect it as soon as possible. This paper proposes a hybrid anti-islanding method coupled with the active and passive detection methods. To enhance the harmonic extraction capability for an active harmonic injection method, cascaded second-order band-pass filter and signal processing scheme are employed. Simulation and experiments are carried out under the islanding test condition specified in IEEE Std. 1547. Passive over/under voltage and over/under frequency methods are combined with the active method to improve the detection speed under certain condition. The simulation and experimental results are presented to verify that the proposed hybrid anti-islanding method can effectively detect the islanding.

A current sensor is one of important component which is used for the electrical current measurement during charge and discharge of the battery, and monitoring system of the motor controller in the electric and hybrid vehicle. In this study, we have developed an open loop type current sensor using GaAs Hall sensor and magnetic core has an air gap. The Hall sensor detect magnetic field produced by the current to be measured. The 3 mm air gap core was made by HGO electrical steel sheets after slitting, winding, annealing, molding, and cutting. Developed current sensor shows 0.03 % linearity within DC current range from -400 A to +400 A. Operating temperature range was extended to the range of $-40{\sim}105^{\circ}C$ using temperature compensating electronic circuit. To Improve frequency bandwidth limit due to the air flux of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and Hall sensor, We employed an air flux compensating loop near Hall sensor or on PCB. Frequency bandwidth of the sensor was 100 kHz when we applied sine wave current of $40A{\cdot}turn$ in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 100 kHz. For the dynamic response time measurement, 5 kHz square wave current of $40A{\cdot}turn$ was applied to the sensor. Response time was calculated time reach to 90 % of saturation value and smaller than $2{\mu}s$.

Grid-connected bidirectional PCS(Power Conditioning System) technology is a technology for implementing distributed renewable energy smart grid. And it is always charged by using power collected from solar modules and commercial grid power among vast smart grid systems, and stored when needed.It is a hybrid energy storage device that allows power to be released into the low voltage system. To this end, a PV input power converter with MPPT function, a bidirectional power converter for battery charging and discharging, and a DC Link input are output to a 3 phase 380V AC system, and if nessary, the bidirectional DC/DC converter We designed and developed a PCS with three power converter structures composed of inverters that perform battery charging. Currently, this system is applied to the site of Jeju, which is vulnerable to power outages and fire accidents.

Due to the friction characteristic of pump, cylinder, and between passenger car and the rail, there exist dead zone in the hydraulic system actuated with inverter, which can not be controlled by a PID controller. In this paper, the friction characteristic of a cylinder is considered first, which may cause the uncontrolled speed in the zero-crossing speed region. And then, the zooming fuzzy logic controller is designed to overcome the drawback by the existing PID speed controller. Finally, The proposed hybrid fuzzy controller is applied to the PID controller in the normal speed region and to the fuzzy controller in the zero-crossing speed region. The reason is that the problem of the uncontrolled speed in the zero-crossing speed region caused by the friction characteristic of the cylinder in hydraulic elevator can be solved, and the effectiveness of the controlling system not only in the zero-crossing speed region but also the overall controlling region including steady-state can be simulated and performed.

An experimental study was performed estimating COP(Coefficient of Performance) of air-conditioning cycle using inverter scroll compressor with and without $Al_2O_3$ nano particle. All experiments were done for various compressor speeds from 1000~4000 rpm and used the inverter controller called CANDY to change the compressor rpm. The air-conditioning cycle components in the apparatus were used as same with components of YF hybrid car. To estimate the COP, this study measured the temperature and pressure at inlets and outlets of compressor, condenser, and evaporator. And also measured the compressor input power using Powermeter. Through the experiments, the maximum error to estimate COP was shown about ${\pm}6.09%$ at 3500rpm. The COP of refrigeration cycle with $Al_2O_3$ nano-particle was similar with that of the base cycle without nano-particle between 1000~3000 rpm of the compressor speed. But, This study showed that the COP of the cycle with $Al_2O_3$ over 3000 rpm of the compressor speed was higher than that of the base cycle due to the higher heat transfer rate increased in the evaporator from the higher oil flow rate inside the cycle as well known. Those results can be used the basic and fundamental data to design the air-conditioning cycle using inverter scroll compressor with $Al_2O_3$ nano particle.

최근의 환경 및 에너지에 대한 관심으로 수요가 증가하고 있는 하이브리드 및 전기 자동차나 태양광발전, 풍력발전용의 인버터기기에는 고에너지밀도 커패시터가 필수적이 되었다. 높은 에너지 밀도를 요구하는 전력전자, 펄스파워 등의 응용분야에 사용되는 고에너지밀도 커패시터는 PET (Polyethylene terephtalate)와 PP (Polypropylene)와 같은 폴리머 유전체를 사용하는 범용 필름 커패시터가 사용되었으나 사용 요구 조건의 한계에 도달하여, 새로운 유전체를 적용하는 커패시터가 절실히 필요한 상황이다. PET와 PP와 같은 유전체는 유전상수가 2~3의 낮은 값을 가지고 있어 고에너지밀도를 구현하기가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 새롭게 요구되고 있는 고에너지 밀도 커패시터의의 성능을 만족시키기 위하여 $20{\sim}50{\mu}m$ 두께의 PET 필름상에 세라믹 유전체인 $ZrO_2$ 박막을 스퍼터(Sputter) 증착법에 의해 코팅하여 종래의 필름 커패시터와 세라믹 커패시터의 장점을 갖는 커패시터를 제조하기 위한 박막 유전재료의 개발을 목표로 하였다. 수백 nm~수 ${\mu}m$ 두께의 $ZrO_2$ 박막을 스퍼터링 공정조건에 따라 증착한 후 박막의 결정성, 기판과의 부착성, 증착속도, 유전상수, 절연파괴강도, 온도안정성 등을 XRD, SEM, AFM, EDS, XPS, Impedance analyzer 등에 의해 평가하였다. $ZrO_2$ 유전체막은 상온에서 증착하였음에도 정방정(tetragonal)구조의 결정질로 성장하였고 증착압력이 증가함에 따라 주피크의 세기가 감소하였다. 증착 중 산소가스를 주입하였을 경우에도 결정질막으로 성장하였다. 증착막들은 산소가스의 양이 증가함에 따라 짙은 흰색으로 변하였으며 PET 기판과의 접착력도 약해졌다. 또한 거칠기는 Ar가스만으로 증착한 경우보다 증가하였으며 24~66 nm의 평균 거칠기값을 보였다. PET위에 Ar가스만으로 증착한 $ZrO_2$의 비유전율은 1kHz에서 116~87의 비유전율을 보여 PET에 비해 매우 우수한 특성을 보였다. $ZrO_2$ 막들은 300kV/cm의 전계에서 대략 10-8A 이하의 누설전류를 보였다. 증착가스비를 달리하여 제조된 시편에서도 유사한 누설전류값을 나타내었다. 300 kV/cm 전후의 전계까지 측정한 $ZrO_2$ 막의 P-E (polarization-electric field) 특성을 확인하였는데, 5 mTorr의 압력에서 증착한 막은 253 kV/cm에서 $5.5{\mu}C/cm^2$의 분극값을 보였다. P-E커브의 기울기와 분극량에 따라 에너지밀도가 달라지므로 공정조건에 따라 에너지밀도가 변화됨을 예측할 수 있었다. PET위에 스퍼터 증착한 $ZrO_2$ 유전체막은 5mTorr의 Ar가스분위기에서 제조할 때 가장 안정적인 구조를 보였으며, 고에너지밀도 커패시터에의 적용가능성을 보였다.
