연료전지와 같은 신재생에너지원은 부하변동에 강인하게 대처하기 어려운 특성을 지니고 있어 단독으로 사용될 경우 전력품질 문제를 야기 할 수 있으며, 따라서 이를 보상하기 위한 보조 에너지 저장장치의 사용이 요구된다. 슈퍼커패시터는 전력밀도가 높고 사이클 수명이 긴 특성을 지니고 있어, 주 에너지원의 느린 응답특성을 보상하는 데에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 슈퍼커패시터의 최적 충방전을 위한 양방향 하프브리지 컨버터의 설계 및 제어에 관해 기술한다. 최적 충방전 전류의 값을 결정하기 위해 EIS 실험을 통해 슈퍼커패시터 모듈의 임피던스 특성을 분석하였고, 충전 전류별 충전 효율이 달라지는 원인을 분석하였으며, 위상제어에 의한 하프브리지 컨버터의 충방전 제어방법에 관해 제시한다.

DC마이크로그리드에서, 양방향 컨버터를 통한 계통과 배터리와의 전력교환은 필수적으로 요구 된다. 일반적으로 계통이 연결 되었을 때 배터리를 충전시키고, 계통이 끊어 졌을 때는 배터리를 통해 계통에 전력을 공급하는 양방향 동작을 한다. 이러한 전력방향전환 과도상태를 줄이기 위해 무순단 절체 기능이 필요한데, 전류 제어기를 공유하는 방식의 경우 전압제어기의 포화가 발생하면 양방향 컨버터의 출력응답이 늦어지거나, 출력이 불안정해 진다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 양방향 컨버터의 대표적인 포화방지(Anti-windup)기법을 적용하여 성능을 비교하였다. 또한 PSIM 소프트웨어를 통해 DC마이크로그리드 시스템을 구현해 효과를 확인한다.

본 논문에서는 전기자동차용 단상 양방향 온보드 충전기를 위한 Cycloconverter-type high frequency link 컨버터에 Si-IGBT와 SiC-FET을 적용하여 전력반도체의 전력 손실을 예측하고 비교하고 분석한다. 와이드밴드갭 전력반도체 중 하나인 SiC-FET은 기존 Si기반의 IGBT를 대신하여 사용될 전력반도체로써 각광 받고 있다. 또한, 낮은 온-저항으로 인해 적은 전력손실과 고주파 스위칭을 통한 직류단 필터의 크기감소를 통해 높은 전력밀도를 달성할 수 있다. 이에 Si-IGBT와 SiC-FET을 Cycloconverter-type high frequency link 컨버터에 적용하여 전력손실을 PSIM thermal module을 통해 시뮬레이션하고 비교 분석한다.

A power electronic transformer (PET) based on the cascaded H-bridge (CHB) and the isolated bidirectional DC/DC converter (IBDC) is capable of accommodating a large scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in the medium-voltage grid, and is referred to as a power electronic transformer based battery energy storage system (PET-BESS). This paper investigates the PET-BESS and proposes a coordinative control strategy for it. In the proposed method, the CHB controls the power flow and the battery state-of-charge (SOC) balancing, while the IBDC maintains the dc-link voltages with feedforward implementation of the power reference and the switch status of the CHB. State-feedback and linear quadratic Riccati (LQR) methods have been adopted in the CHB to control the grid current, active power and reactive power. A hybrid PWM modulating method is utilized to achieve SOC balancing, where battery SOC sorting is involved. The feedforward path of the power reference and the CHB switch status substantially reduces the dc-link voltage fluctuations under dynamic power variations. The effectiveness of the proposed control has been verified both by simulation and experimental results. The performance of the PET-BESS under bidirectional power flow has been improved, and the battery SOC values have been adjusted to converge.

In this paper, the PV system with a link to the commercial system needs some advantages like small capacity, high power factor, high reliability, low harmonic output, maximum power operation of solar cell, and low cost, etc. as well as the properties of inverter. To transfer the PV energy of photovoltaic power generation system to the system and load, it requires PCS in both directions. The purpose of this paper is to confirm the stable power supply through the load leveling by presenting the PCS considering ESS of photovoltaic power generation. In order to achieve these purpose, 5 step process of operation mode algorithm were used according to the solar insolation amount and load capacity and the controller for charging/ discharging control was designed. For bidirectional and effective energy transfer, the bidirectional converter and battery at DC-link stage were connected and the DC-link voltage and inverter output voltage through the interactive inverter were controlled. In order to prove the validity of the suggested system, the simulation using PSIM was performed and were reviewed for its validity and stability. The 3[kW] PCS was manufactured and its test was conducted in order to check this situation. In addition, the system characteristics suggested through the test results was verified and the PCS system presented in this study was excellent and stronger than that of before system.

In this study, we propose a control algorithm to reduce the unbalanced characteristics of a three-phase system power caused by the unbalanced load of the AC electric railway. Then, we verify its performance through the design of a power compensator and experiments applying it. Like electric railway systems, a Scott transformer is applied, and the load and single-phase back-to-back converters are connected to the M-phase and T-phase outputs. The back-to-back converter monitors the difference in active power between the unbalanced loads in real-time and compensates for the power by using bidirectional characteristics. The active power is performed through PI control in the synchronous coordinate system, and DC link overall voltage and voltage balancing control are controlled jointly by M-phase and T-phase converters to improve the responsiveness of the system. To verify the performance of the proposed power compensation device, an experiment was performed under the condition that M-phase 5 kW and T-phase 1 kW unbalanced load. As a result of the experiment, the unbalance rate of the three-phase current after the operation of the power compensator decreases by 58.66% from 65.04% to 6.38%, and the excellent performance of the power compensator proposed in this study is verified.

Recent power converting system for an electric train has characteristics of a complex electromechanical system, which includes VVVF inverter, bidirectional converter, ac motor and controller and etc. So in order to analysis its dynamic characteristics reliably, a powerful and flexible simulation technique is needed. Concerned with this respect, because the Simulink has a veriety of powerful functions and analysis tools not available in conventional power electronics simulation packages, it can be effectively applied to the simulation of the power converting system. In this paper, a schematically similar model for an electric train power converting system is derived on the Simulink Window, based on the Dynamic Node Technique, and several simulations have been implemented with the model. With the simulation results, the characteristics of the power converting system and the easeness of the proposed Simulink-based simulation technique could be verified clearly.
