Wind power generation system is one of the most useful energy resource using natural environment. One of the biggest problem we encountered is toot the wind speed is fluctuating sharply according to the weather conditions rather than it is stable. In this paper we do the equivalent modeling the mechanical energy of wind power turbine according to wind speed into the synchronous generator. We analyse the equivalent modeling output part of rectifier into DC/DC converter input part theoretically. We analyse a battery charging characteristics for power storage enabling the supply of stable power to the load. We design a system and do the modeling of it analytically so that it supplies a stable power to the load by constructing a DC-AC inverter point. Also we make a small size model usable in actual wind power generation system of 30kw and make an experiment and confirm its validity.

Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) Is used in wind power generation systems to maximize wind power turbin output power, irrespective of wind speed conditions and of the load electrical characteristics. In this paper we do the equivalent modeling the mechanical energy of wind power turbine according to wind speed into the synchronous generator. We analyse the equivalent modeling output part of rectifier into DC/DC converter input part theoretically. We design a control algorithm for variable voltage according to wind speed intensity and density so that load voltage of chopper is controlled steadily using the maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control method. We analyse a battery charging characteristics and a charging circuit for power storage enabling the supply of stable power to the load. We design a system and do the modeling of it analytically so that it supplies a stable power to the load by constructing a DC-AC inverter point. Also we design a charging circuit usable in actual wind power generation system of 30kW and confirm its validity.

In this paper, we have proposed a novel zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) soft-switching H-bridge inverter. Because the conventional H-Bridge inverter generates switching losses at turn on and off, the efficiency is reduced. The proposed inverter operates ZVS switching using an auxiliary switch and resonant circuit to improve the efficiency. in the DC-DC converter stage, it can reduce not only switching loss but also capacity and size of passive devices due to the resonant elements. DC-AC inverter stage supplies load with energy through the ZVS operation of 4 switches. A detail mode analysis of operating is in presented. We have presented the inverter topology, principle of operation and simulation results obtained from the PSIM simulator.

Current protection-coordination methods use the reverse time characteristics of the T-C curve, which is not effective for a LVDC distribution system because the protective operation time of converters and DC circuit breakers is much faster than AC protection devices. Therefore, an algorithm is proposed for fault-section isolation using the fault current slope to minimize the blackout region and coordinate between converters and protection devices in a rapid and accurate manner. The method deals with the slope characteristics of a fault current, which may depend on the fault location in an LVDC distribution system. Thus, an LVDC distribution system can be operated in a stable manner by isolating the fault section selectively before the shutdown of the main converter using slope characteristics, which change in proportion to the line impedance and fault location. A 1.5-kV LVDC distribution system was modeled to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm using PSCAD/EMTDC. The system is composed of a distribution substation, LVDC converter, and distribution lines. The simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm is a useful tool for minimizing the fault section in an LVDC distribution system.

In this paper the design of a 1-[KVA] fuel cell powered line-interactive UPS system employing modular (fuel cell & DC/DC converter) blocks is proposed. The proposed system employs the two fuel cell modules along with suitable DC/DC converters and these modules share the DC-Link of the DC/AC inverter. A supercapacitor module is also employed to compensate for the instantaneous power fluctuations and to overcome the slow dynamics of the fuel processor. The energy stored in the supercapacitor can also be utilized to handle the overload conditions for a short time period. Due to the absence of batteries, the system satisfies the demand for an environmentally friendly and dean source of the energy. A complete design example illustrating the amount of hydrogen storage required for 1hr power outage, and sizing of supercacpacitor for transient load demand is presented for a 1-[KVA] UPS.

A novel simulation scheme of transient phenomenon for the photovoltaic (PV) generation system under the real weather conditions has been proposed in this paper. A grid connected PV array is simulated using PSCAD/EMTDC. The transient changes of the output current of PV array under the real weather conditions is described and the output current of DC/AC converter flowing through the utility power network is also analyzed with the PWM switching width. Moreover, the MPPT control of PV generation system is combined to the system during the simulation for the comparison purposes of the control schemes. The outcome of the simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed simulation scheme. The result shows that the cost effective verifying for the efficiency or availability and stability of PV generation systems and the comparison research of various control schemes like MPPT under the same real whether conditions are eventually possible.

직접 변조 방식(direct modulation)을 사용한 Modular Multilevel Converter(MMC)의 6개의 암 캐패시터 전압의 자연균형화(Natural Balancing) 현상은 여러 연구 및 실험에서 관측되고 있다. 또한, 이러한 현상의 원리뿐만 아니라, 시스템 파라미터와 밸런싱 동특성사이의 관계가 수학적인 분석을 통하여 검증되었다. 직접 변조 방식은 간접 변조 방식(indirect modulation)과 달리, 입/출력 AC 및 DC 측 제어기 외에 암 캐패시터 전압 밸런싱을 위한 순환전류 제어기가 존재하지 않지만, 캐패시터 맥동 저감을 위해 일반적으로 캐패시터 2 고조파 맥동 제어기를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 직접 변조방식을 사용한 MMC의 2고조파 전압 맥동 제어기가 암 캐패시터 전압 자연 밸런싱에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고 분석한다. 또한, 2 고조파 전압 맥동 제어기의 유무에 따른 전압 자연 밸런싱의 동특성에 대한 비교를 400MW MMC full-scale 시뮬레이션을 통해 살펴보도록 한다.

Auto-connected multipulse(12/24pulse) rectifier schemes are cost effective methods for reducing line current hamonics in PWM drive systems. Employing these schemes to enhance utility power quality requires careful attention to several design considerations In particular, excursion of dc-link voltage at no load, effect of pre-existing voltage distortion, impedance mismatches, unequal diode drops on rectifier current sharing and performance, are fully analyzed, Several corrective measures to improve the performance of 12/24­pulse rectifier systems are also discussed. Finally, experimental results on a 460V, 60Hz 400kVA commercial ASD, retrofitted with 12/24pulse rectifier systems are discussed in detail.
