In order to improve the conversion efficiency and mitigate the EMI problem of conventional hard-switching inverters, a new soft-switching DC-AC inverter with a compact structure and a low modulation complexity is proposed in this paper. In the proposed structure, resonant inductors are connected in series for the arm branches, and resonant capacitors are connected in parallel for the neutral point branches. With the help of resonant components, the proposed structure achieves zero-current switching on the arm branches and zero-voltage switching on the neutral point branches. When compared with state-of-art soft-switching topologies, the proposed topology does not need auxiliary switches. Moreover, the commutation algorithm to realize soft-switching can be easily implemented. In this paper, the principle of the resonant operation of the proposed soft-switching converter is presented and its performance is verified through simulation studies. The feasibility of the proposed inverter is evaluated experimentally with a 2.4-kW prototype.

본 논문은 단상 전기철도 시스템의 불평형 부하 특성으로 인한 3상 계통의 전력 불평형을 보상하기 위해 백투백 컨버터를 적용하였으며, 실험을 통해 전력 불평형 성능 개선 특성을 검증하였다. 3상 전압은 스코트 변압기를 통해 2개의 M-T상 전압으로 출력되며, 전력 불평형 개선을 위해 적용된 백투백 컨버터는 DC 링크를 공유하며 각각 M-T상에 연계된다. 백투백 컨버터는 M-T상에 연계된 부하용량 차이에 따른 불평형 조건에 관계없이 M상과 T상 계통 라인에 동일한 전력이 공급되도록 제어하는 역할을 수행하며, 제어 알고리즘은 동기좌표계에서 구현하였다. 백투백 컨버터의 프로토 타입은 3레벨 NPC 컨버터로 설계하였으며, M상 5kW, T상 1kW 부하에서 전력보상 장치가 동작하고 있음에도 완전히 해결되지 않은 불평형 현상에 대해 분석한다.

본 논문은 PV어레이를 이용한 양수펌프 시스템의 전체적인 제어를 구상하는 제시하였으며, DC/DC 컨버터를 생략하기 위하여 BLDC 모터의 벡터제어를 이용하고 DC량과 AC량과 관계를 찾아내어 인버터만으로 PV 어레이의 최대출력점을 추적하였다. 기존의 최대출력점 제어기는 3상 인버터의 DC 링크단에 나타나는 전류리플로 인하여 제어기가 불안정하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 제어기의 불안정성을 보완하기 위해 BLDC 모터의 $i_qs$ 전류를 이용한 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tacker) 제어 알고리즘을 구성하였다. 이러한 제어기의 우수함을 입증하기 위하여 J. A Domfnguez가 비동기모터에 적용한 제어방식을 BLDC 모터에 적용한 결과와 본 논문에서 제시한 제어방식을 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 비교 검토하고 하였다.

In this paper, a remote monitoring system of wind-photovoltaic hybrid generation system using mobile phone and internet has been developed. Many kinds of data can be acquired, analyzed and saved automatically by this system. The hybrid system is composed of 1[kW] PV with DC/DC converter, battery banks and 5[kW] wind power system with power inductor and AC/DC converter. In addition, wind monitoring sensors, voltage and current meters, current transformers and potential transformers are used as accessory instruments. All of these signals are fed into DAQ (Data Acquisition) board after converting the data which have been processed by many types of converters, dividing circuits and signal conditioning circuits. These data can not only be displayed on a computer, transmitted using the server program to remote computer and saved on a computer as a file day by day but also be sent as a CDMA message. The monitored-data can be downloaded, analyzed and saved from server program in real-time via mobile phone or internet at a remote place. All of the programs were designed with LabVIEW software.

The photovoltaic (PV) power conditioning system for small-scale applications has gained significant interest in the past few decades. However, the standalone mode of operation has been rarely approached. This paper presents a two-stage multi-level micro-inverter topology that considers the different operation modes. A multi-output flyback converter provides both the DC-Link voltage balancing for the multi-level inverter side and maximum power point tracking control in grid connection mode in the PV stage. A modified H-bridge multi-level inverter topology is included for the AC output stage. The multi-level inverter lowers the total harmonic distortion and overall ratings of the power semiconductor switches. The proposed micro-inverter topology can help to decrease the size and cost of the PV system. Transient analysis and controller design of this micro-inverter have been proposed for stand-alone and grid-connected modes. Finally, the system performance was verified using a 120 W hardware prototype.

Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSGs) are used widely in Wind Power Generation Systems (WPGSs), and the Vienna rectifier was recently proposed to be used as the generator-side converter to rectify the AC output voltage in PMSG-based WPGS. Compared to conventional six-switch two-level PWM (2L-PWM) converters, the Vienna rectifier has several advantages, such as higher efficiency, improved total harmonic distortion, etc. The motivation behind this paper is to verify the performance of direct-driven PMSG wind turbine system based-Vienna rectifier by using a simulated direct-driven PMSG WPGS. In addition, for the purpose of reducing the reactive power loss of PMSGs, this paper proposes an induced voltage sensing scheme which can make the stator current maintain accurate synchronization with the induced voltage. Meanwhile, considering the Neutral-Point Voltage (NPV) variation in the DC-side of the Vienna rectifier, a NPV balancing control strategy is added to the control system. In addition, both the effectiveness of the proposed method and the performance of the direct-driven PMSG based-Vienna rectifier are verified by simulation and experimental results.

전세계가 고유가 시대로 들어서면서 각국은 에너지 확보에 전력을 기울이고 있다. 이에 대체 에너지 개발이 미래의 중요한 과제로 여겨지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 결정질 실리콘 태양전지의 대안으로 주목받고 있는 염료감응형 태양전지를 다루어 보았다. 유효면적 $8cm^2$의 염료감응형 태양전지의 직병렬 조합을 이용하여 DSSC 모듈을 만들어 얻은 출력을 전력변환 시킴으로써 상용전원을 얻고자 하였다. 염료감응형 태양전지모듈을 만들기 위해 먼저 DSSC의 단위 셀을 최적화 시키고 이를 실제 광원에서 다양한 직병렬 연결 시도 끝에 모듈로부터 약 5.7V, 3A의 출력을 얻을 수 있었다. 이를 Boost converter를 이용하여 전압을 12V까지 승압하고 이 출력을 고속 스위칭 소자인 MOSFET을 이용하여 스위칭한 Push-pull converter에서 DC 310V까지 승압시켰다. 그리고 그 출력을 DSP를 이용한 20[kHz]의 PWM신호를 만들어 제어한 결과, AC 220V의 상용전원을 얻었다. 그리고 이 전원을 부하에 연결하여 그 동작 특성을 연구하였다.

Distributed resources such as renewable energy sources and ESS are connected to the low voltage direct current(LVDC) distribution network through the power conversion system(PCS). Control power is required for the operation of the PCS. In general, controller power is supplied from AC power or DC power through switch mode power supply(SMPS). However, the conventional SMPS has a low input voltage, so development and research on high input voltage self-power suitable for LVDC is insufficient. In this paper, to develop Self-Power that can be used for LVDC, the characteristics of the conventional topology are analyzed, and a series-input single-output flyback converter using a flux-sharing transformer for high voltage is designed. The high input voltage Self-Power was designed in the DCM(discontinuous current mode) to reduce the switching loss and solve the problem of current dissipation. In addition, since it operates even at low input voltage, it can be applied to many applications as well as LVDC. The validity of the proposed high input voltage self-power is verified through experiments.
