Fuel cell power system is one of the most promising energy source for the alternative energy because it has unique advantages such as high energy density, no power drop during operation, and feasible to make compact size. However, due to very low response time, fuel cell is difficult to correspond to drastic load changes and start-up operation. For solving these problem, fuel cell power system must include energy storage device such as Li-Poly battery or super capacitor. Therefore, bi-directional DC-DC converter must be required for this storage device and fuel cell-PCS control. This paper presents a design and modeling of the bi-directional DC/DC converter. Firstly, we present modeling the boost and buck mode of the bi-directional converter through both PWM switch model and state space averaging technique. Secondly, in order to minimize output ripple and transient response overshoot, we have two identical DC-DC converters interleaved and adopt two-loop voltage-current controller. The proposed bi-directional DC-DC converter's modeling method and control design have been verified with computer simulation and experimentation.

본 논문에서는 차동전력조절기회로가 적용된 승압형 태양광 차지펌프 플라이백 전하 균등화 회로를 사용하여 연속 모드로 동작하는 전하 균등화 방법을 제안한다. 이 컨버터는 차동전력조절기회로의 입력부에 커패시터가 병렬로 연결되어 있어서 포워드 컨버터가 아닌 벅 컨버터로 동작을 한다. 이로 인하여 기존 포워드 컨버터가 갖고 있는 동작 한계점을 극복할 수 있다. 즉 차동전력조절기회로의 듀티 비가 부스트 회로의 듀티 비 보다 작을 필요가 없다. 또한 실제 현장에 적용할 때 문제가 되는 긴 라인으로 인한 기생 인덕턴스 발생 시 차동전력조절기회로의 스위치에 큰 스파이크가 발생 할 수 있는데 이를 커패시터가 흡수하는 장정을 갖는다.

New circuit D-Q transformation concept is introduced to analyze AC converters such as inverters, rectifiers and cyclo-converters with ease. The equivalent linear time invariant circuit is obtained by substituting switches with equivalent turn-ratio variable transformers and changing balanced AC reactors into equivalent DC reactors combined by gyrators. This circuit enables us to utilize the powerful linear system analysis techniques such as Laplace transform otherwise which could not be applied to the time varying switching systems. Direct substitution of switches of DC converters with transformers is shown as a preliminary. Then the modeling procedure is shown for a controlled rectifier-inverter circuit. Finally an analysis example is proposed for a buck-boost inverter and the result is compared with the conventional approach. This approach is applicable to all AC converter families to determine the AC transfer functions and the DC operating points. It is identified that the switching systems are equivalent to the RLC filter circuits with transformers and gyrators.

본 논문에서는 유사 DC-Link 타입의 태양광 마이크로 인버터에서 요구되는 대용량의 전해 커패시터의 단점을 지적하고 이를 제거하기 위해 shunt 방식으로 연결되는 양방향 벅-부스트 컨버터 제어방법을 제안한다. 태양광 마이크로 인버터는 동작 특성상 PV 입력단에 120Hz 리플이 존재하지만 대용량의 전해 커패시터를 적용함으로써 리플을 제거할 수 있다. 하지만 전해 커패시터의 짧은 수명이 전체 시스템의 신뢰성을 저하시키기 때문에 이를 극복하기 위한 부가적인 회로가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 1차측의 플라이백 스위치 전류 제어기의 레퍼런스를 공유함으로써 전류 센서수를 감소시키고 PV 입력단 Capacitance를 낮출 수 있는 양방향 벅-부스트 회로의 제어기를 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다.

As well known, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is an important role in photovoltaic (PV) power systems. MPPT finds and maintains the operation of PV at the maximum power point when the irradiation and cell-temperature change. In this paper, the studied system includes a PV array, a Buck-Boost DC/DC converter, a DC/AC inverter and it is connected to the three phase power system. The solar array operates as a non-linear voltage source. The P&O algorithm with power feed-back is used to control the operating point of PV array at the maximum power point. The effects of irradiation and cell-temperature on the dynamic responses are also considered.

Recently, in energy storage system, the EDLC is paid attention as a new environmentally friendly energy storage element. This capacitor has higher energy density than the electrolytic capacitor. Also, this capacitor has a lot of advantage such as no maintenance, longer life cycle and faster charge-discharge time than the battery system. But the EDLC must have a each charge-discharge controller to effectively control, an energy design method circuit to use effectively energy, and several compensation techniques to control a optimal operating. In this respect, this study suggests major parameters to effectively represent the characteristics of EDLC, the measurement methods of those parameters have been investigated with experiments, and the interpretation about the buck/boost DC/DC converter for the operation of EDLC.
