A new low cost high power density photovoltaic power conditioning system (PV PCS) with an energy storage system is proposed in this paper. Its high power density and cost effectiveness can be achieved through the unification of the maximum power point tracker and the battery charger/discharger. Despite the reduced power stage, the proposed system can achieve the same performance in terms of maximum power point tracking and battery charging/discharging as the conventional system. When a utility power failure happens, the proposed system cannot perform maximum power point tracking at the UPS mode. However, the predetermined battery voltage near the maximum power point of the PV array can effectively generate a reasonable PV power even at the UPS mode. Therefore, it features a simpler structure, less mass, lower cost, and fewer devices. Finally, to confirm the operation, validity, and features of the proposed system, a theoretical analysis and experimental results from a single phase AC 220Vrms/1.5kW prototype are presented.

Uninterruptible Power Supply(UPS) is largely divided into passive-standby, line-interactive and double-conversion methods. This paper proposes the double-conversion UPS for low cost and high performance. The proposed UPS are composed of PFC, inverter, battery charger and discharger. Finally, the validity of proposed UPS was verified by experiments.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) can be largely divided into the passive-standby, line-interactive and double-conversion methods. This paper proposes a double-conversion UPS with a low cost and high performance. This single phase UPS uses a single-loop robust voltage controller and 1-switch voltage doubler strategy PFC. The proposed UPS is composed of a single phase PFC, a half-bridge inverter, a battery charger and a battery discharger. Finally, the validity of proposed UPS was verified by various experimental tests.

Formation process through charge/discharge operation is needed in manufacturing Li-ion battery. In the process battery is discharged by a load resistor of discharger. Here, energy losses happen. Therefore, in this paper, the efficient energy operation of battery is studied in the charge/discharge system based on DC ${\mu}-Grid$. A result of computer simulation shows that if in the charge/discharge system based on DC ${\mu}-Grid$, the number of discharge batteries in comparison with three charge battery sets exceeds 133%, voltage fluctuation that occurs while the grid voltage stabilizes, which makes the system fatal. Therefore, it was demonstrated that a remarkable energy saving effect could be achieved when the number of discharge battery set is maintained to be 133% in comparison with three charge battery sets.

Lithium-ion batteries are used in many fields due to their high energy density, fast charging conditions, and long cycle life. However, overcharging, over-discharging, physical damage, and use of lithium-ion batteries at high temperatures can reduce battery life and cause damage to people due to fire or explosion due to damage to the protection circuit. In order to reduce the risk of these batteries and improve battery performance, the characteristics of the charging and discharging process must be analyzed and understood. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the charging and discharging characteristics of lithium-ion batteries using a battery charger and discharger and simulator to reduce the risk of loss of life due to overcharge and overdischarge, as well as casualties from fire and explosion due to damage to the protection circuit.

A new high power density and low cost Photovoltaic Power Conditioning System (PV PCS) with energy storage system is proposed. Its high power density and cost effectiveness can be achieved through the unification of the maximum power point tracker and battery charger/discharger. Despite of the reduced power stage, the proposed system can achieve the same performances of maximum power point tracking and battery charging/discharging as the conventional system. Moreover, the high voltage stress across the link-capacitor can be relieved through the series-connected link-capacitor with the battery. Therefore, a large number of series/parallel-connected link-capacitors can be reduced by 4-times. Especially, when the utility power failure happens, both photovoltaic and battery energies can be supplied to the load with only one power stage. Therefore, it features a simpler structure, less mass, lower cost, and fewer devices. Finally, to confirm the operation, validity, and features of the proposed system, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a single phase AC 220Vrms/1.5kW prototype are presented.

Recently, an active-clamp, full-bridge boost converter has been actively studied for high-power applications such as power factor correction and battery discharger. However, DC and AC modeling for this converter has not conquered. In this paper, a DC and small-signal AC modeling for the active-clamp, full-bridge boost converter is described. Based on the operation principle, the ac part of the converter can be replaced by a do counterpart. Then, a conceptual equivalent circuit is derived by rearranging the switches. The equivalent circuit for this converter consists of CCM (Continuous conduction mode) boost and DCM (Discontinuous conduction mode) buck converter. The analyses for the equivalent CCM boost and DCM buck converter are done using the model of PWM switch. The theoretical modeling results are confirmed through experiment or SIMPLIS simulation.
