The electric railway is a clean and energy saving system, because it requires relatively less energy than automobiles by transporting the same passengers or goods. Six thousands of vehicles are operated on Korean urban transit system. This system is 95% of regeneration system. Especially, the VVVF-Inverter vehicle has a merit of the highest regeneration rate. Energy consumption is 90% for traction and 10% for auxiliary supply. Braking energy is about 40% of energy consumption. Up to 40% of the tractive power of vehicles capable of returning energy to the power supply can be regenerated during braking and that this energy can be used to feed vehicles which are accelerating at the same time. The energy generated by braking vehicle would simply be converted into waste heat by its braking resistors if no other vehicle is accelerating at exactly the same time. Such synchronized braking and accelerating can not be coordinated, the ESS(energy storage system) stores the energy generated during braking and discharges it again when a vehicle accelerates. This paper presents field tests about the energy saving rate of the developed ESS. when the ESS is on/off, energy saving rate of the ESS is tested. The verification test in the field focused on energy saving.

In recent years, technology for storing a preliminary power or a surplus of photovoltaic energy is required. This technique, as well as store a preliminary energy and improve the reliability of the gird safety. This system can plan a efficient power generation through the flexibility of the power supply from the perspective of not only provider but also user. Accordingly, the realization of the smart grid can be expected. This paper proposes a hybrid PCS using a photovoltaic and a lithium-polymer battery with the characteristics of high density energy. The main energy source of a hybrid PCS is a photovoltaic, grid and the auxiliary energy source is a lithium-polymer battery. The operation of a proposed system in this paper is verified with simulation and experimental results.

광폭입력함수 전용 멀티플렉서가 슬라이스 구조에 포함되는 상용 FPGA의 현실적 제약 조건을 학계의 대표적 논리 표현 방식인 AIG (And-Inverter Graph)를 근간으로 개발된 FPGA 매핑 알고리즘에 적용하였다. AIG를 LUT (Look-Up Table)으로 매핑할 때 중간 구조로서 컷을 열거하는 데 이들 중에서 멀티플렉서를 인식해 낸 후 이들이 매핑될 때 지연 시간 및 면적을 복잡도 증가 없이 계산하도록 하였다. 이 때 트리 형성 전제 조건인 대칭성과 단수 제약 요건도 검사하도록 하였다. 또한, 멀티플렉서 트리의 루트 위치를 RTL 코드에서 찾아내고 이를 보조 출력 형태로 AIG에 추가하도록 하였다. 이 위치에서 섀넌확장을 통해 멀티플렉서 트리 구조를 의도적으로 합성한 후 최적 AIG에 겹치도록 하는 접근 방법을 최초로 제안하였다. 이때 무손실 합성을 가능하게 하는 FRAIG 방식이 응용되었다. 두 가지 프로세서에 대해 제안된 접근 방법과 기법들을 적용하여 약 13~30%의 면적 감소 및 최대 32%까지의 지연 시간 단축을 달성하였다. AIG 트리에 특정 구조를 의도적으로 주입시키는 접근 방법은 향후 캐리 체인 등에 확장 적용하는 연구가 진행될 것이다.

본 논문에서는 철도차량용 보조전원장치에 순시전압제어기법을 적용할 때 발생하는 문제들의 해결방안을 제시한다. 비선형부하나 과도상태에서 빠른 응답특성을 얻기 위해 순시전압제어기법을 사용할 때 LC 필터의 공진문제와 존재하는 정상상태 오차가 더욱 심각해진다. 인버터 출력측 LC 필터에 기인하는 공진현상을 억제하기 위해 전압전달함수의 제동비를 증가시키기 위한 방안으로 필터 커패시터 궤환제어기가 고려되었다. 그리고 교류전압 순시제어시 존재하는 정상상태 오차를 제거하기 위하여 고이득 전달함수를 기존의 PI 제어기에 첨가하였다. 이론적인 분석이 시뮬레이션 결과와 함께 잘 설명되어져 있다. 제안된 기법의 타당성을 5kVA급 시제품에 대한 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 입증하였다.

Fuel cell (FC) is a promising power supply in electric vehicles (EV); however, it has poor dynamic performance and short service life. To address these shortcomings, a super capacitor (SC) is adopted as an auxiliary power supply. In this study, the frequency decoupling control method is used in electric vehicle energy system. High-frequency and low-frequency demand power is provided by SC and FC, respectively, which makes full use of two power supplies. Simultaneously, the energy system still has rapidity and reliability. The distributed power system (DPS) of EV requires DC-DC converters to achieve the desired voltage. The stability of cascaded converters must be assessed. Impedance-based methods are effective in the stability analysis of DPS. In this study, closed-loop impedances of interleaved half-bridge DC-DC converter and phase-shifted full-bridge DC-DC converter based on the frequency decoupling control method are derived. The closed-loop impedance of an inverter for permanent magnet synchronous motor based on space vector modulation control method is also derived. An improved Middlebrook criterion is used to assess and adjust the stability of the energy system. A theoretical analysis and simulation test are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the energy management system and the control method.

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells(PEFC) have been considered to be a suitable candidate for residential, portable and mobile applications, due to their high efficiency and power density, even at low operating temperature. KIER developed a 5kW class PEFC system for residential application and operated the system for over 1,000 hours. To develop a 5kW PEFC system, performance of a cell was improved through successive tests of single cell of small and large area. Fabrication of three 2,5 kW class stacks, design and fabrication of natural gas reformer, design of auxiliary equipments such as DC/DC converter, DC/AC inverter and humidifying units were carried out along with integration of components, operation and evaluation of total system. During the development period from 1999 to 2001, MEA(membrane electrode assembly) fabrication technologies, design and fabrication technologies for separators, stacking technologies and so on were developed, thereby providing basis for developing stacks of higher efficiency and power density in the future. Experience of development of natural gas reformer opened possibilities to use various kinds of fuels. Main results obtained from the development of a 5kW class PEFC system for residential application are summarized.

In this work, control methods and operating modes are proposed to manage standalone microgrid. A standalone microgrid generally consists of two sources, namely, battery energy storage system (BESS) and diesel generator (DG). BESS is the main source that supplies active and reactive power regardless of load conditions, whereas DG functions as an auxiliary power source. BESS operates in a constant voltage constant frequency (CVCF) control, which includes proportional-integral + resonant controller in a parallel structure. In CVCF control, the concept of fundamental positive and negative transformation is utilized to generate a three-phase sinusoidal voltage under imbalanced load condition. Operation modes of a standalone microgrid are divided into three modes, namely, normal, charge, and manual modes. To verify the standalone microgrid along with the proposed control methods, a demonstration site is constructed, which contains 115 kWh lead-acid battery bank, 50 kVA three-phase DC - AC inverter, and 50 kVA DG and controllable loads. In the CVCF control, the total harmonic distortion of output voltage is improved to 1.1% under imbalanced load. This work verifies that the standalone microgrid provides high-quality voltage, and three operation modes are performed from the experimental results.

우리나라의 전력소비량은 매년 전기의 수요과잉으로 인한 공급부족 문제가 반복되며, 에너지에 대한 관심이 커지고 사회적, 개인적 비용이 증가함에 따라 이러한 비용을 절감하기 위해 다양한 방법이 적용되고 있다. 자동문 시장도 자동도어 설치 빈도가 매년 증가하고 있으며, 일반 상가 및 공동 현관에서 사용하는 경우 하루 평균 300회를 기준으로 소비전력은 70[W]정도 이며 월간 평균 사용량은 약 50.4[KW]이다. 개폐빈도가 많기 때문에 전력 소모량을 무시할 수 없는 수준이다. 본 논문에서는 자동문에서 버려지고 있는 에너지를 회생에너지로 변환하여 자동문의 보조전력으로 활용함으로써 전력소비량을 감소시키기 위한 전원회생용 인버터 및 제어 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.
