A novel integrated battery charger/discharger converter for a standardized battery module is proposed. Instead of using separate charger and discharger converters. it integrates these two converters into a single converter in order to minimize the size. the integrated charger/discharger converter not only regulates the solar array output power including the peak power tracking capability but also controls the battery charging/discharging current depending on the solar array output power and the load power. In addition it offers a regulated bus voltage which simplifies the power distribution/conversion for the pay load.

본 전기자동차(EV)의 사용을 늘리고 계통 부담을 최소화하기 위해 재생에너지를 사용하는 마이크로그리드가 중요한 역할을 담당해야 한다. 마이크로그리드는 소형 디젤발전과 같은 화석연료를 사용할 수도 있지만, 많은 경우에 친환경 에너지인 재생에너지로부터 에너지를 공급받을 수 있다. 그러나 태양광과 풍력과 같은 재생에너지는 가변적인 출력 특성을 갖는다. 따라서 전기자동차의 충·방전 에너지 수요를 충족하는 동시에 안정적으로 부하 전력을 공급하기 위해서 마이크로그리드에 디젤발전 또는 전기차-그리드(V2G)를 병행 에너지원으로 활용하는 전기자동차 충전인프라 구성에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 이와 같은 배경으로 본 연구에서는 태양광발전, 풍력발전, 디젤발전과 V2G를 활용하여 부하에 안정적으로 전력을 공급할 수 있는 마이크로그리드의 모델을 구성하였다. 제안된 마이크로그리드는 태양광발전과 풍력발전을 1차 공급에너지원으로 전력 수요에 대응토록 하고, 부하의 전기차의 운영 유형과 부하 동기기의 회전속도를 판단하여 부족 전력에 대해 디젤발전으로부터 안정적으로 전력을 공급할 수 있는 모델이다. 이렇게 제안된 모델의 시스템 성능을 검증하기 위해 MATLAB/Simulink로 시뮬레이션함으로써 마이크로그리드의 안정적 운영 방안을 고찰하였다.

In this study, hydrogen charging was conducted for API X70 steel by the electro-chemical hydrogen charging method. Right after hydrogen was diffused from the specimen surface to the inside of the X70, the small punch tests and hydrogen concentration analysis was conducted within 5 minutes. Hydrogen was analyzed by melting the whole specimen and detect the gas after melting. Mechanical properties were measured by the small punch (SP) testing. Fracture surface and specimen surface were observed using scanning electron microscope. Three tests were repeated for study sensitivity of the SP test results under a same charging condition. It was observed that the variation of the maximum load, SP displacement at failure, hydrogen concentration as the charging period was not much in the case of X70 as the other steel such as Inconel. It can be argued that X70 base metal may have high hydrogen damage resistance and hydrogen diffusion in the base metal would not cause much embrittlement. Limitations of the SP test with 0.5 mm thickness for hydrogen damage test for X70 were discussed.

The moment when Electrical Vehicle (EV) starts charging or discharging is one of the most important parameters in estimating the impact of EV load on the grid. In this paper, a decision-making problem of determining the start time of charging and discharging during allowed period is proposed and studied under the uncertainty of real-time price. Prospect theory is utilized in the decision-making problem of this paper for it describes a kind of decision making behaviors under uncertainty. The case study uses the parameters of Springo SGM7001EV and adopts the historical realtime locational marginal pricing (LMP) data of PJM market for scenario reduction. Prospect values are calculated for every possible start time in the allowed charging or discharging period. By comparing the calculated prospect values, the optimal decisions are obtained accordingly and the results are compared with those based on Expected Utility Theory. Results show that with different initial State-of-Charge ($SoC_0$) and different reference points, the optimal start time of charging can be the one between 12 a.m. to 3 a.m. and optimal discharging starts at 2 p.m. or 3p.m. Moreover, the decision results of Prospect Theory may differ from that of the Expected Utility Theory with the reference points changing.

This paper presents design of controllers for battery energy storage system. The proposed battery energy storage system can be controlled to operate in the power conditioning mode or the inverter mode. The operation of this mode further divided into three cases: (a) in the peak load period, the load power supplied from the utility is minimized as far as possible; (b) in the off-peak load period, the utility supplies power to the load and charges the battery bank with automatic charging control; (c) in the medium load period, to save battery energy the real power flow out of the battery energy storage system is minimized. Besides, in all cases, the proposed battery energy storage system also automatically compensates the harmonics, subharmonics and reactive power factor in the utility side are much improved. Simulation results are presented by the effectiveness of the proposed controllers for battery energy storge system.

Recently, various researches and projects about electric vehicles are in progress vigorously and continuously and it is expected to penetrate rapidly with the next a few years. This deployment will cause the change of load composition rate affecting on power system planning and operations. Therefore, a new load model should be developed integrating with electric vehicle loads. In this paper, the load composition rate of residential sectors is analyzed considering the deployment of this mobility load such as electric vehicles and a new diffusion model is proposed based on the classification of the replacement patterns. Additionally, electric vehicle charging loads are basically modeled by some individual load experiments to develop new load models for smart place and some new conceptual power systems such as micro grids.

Regulated peak power tracking (RPPT) systems such as the series structure and the series-parallel structures are commonly used in satellite space power systems. However, these structures process the solar array power or the battery power to the load through two cascaded regulators during one orbit cycle, which reduces the energy transfer efficiency. Also the battery charging time is increased due to placement of converter between the battery and the solar array. In this paper a parallel structure has been proposed which can improve the energy transfer efficiency and the battery charging time for satellite space power RPPT systems. An analogue controller is used to control all of the required functions, such as load voltage regulation and solar array stabilization with maximum power point tracking (MPPT). In order to compare the system efficiency and the battery charging efficiency of the proposed structure with those of a series (conventional) structure and a simplified series-parallel structure, simulations are performed and the results are analyzed using a loss analysis model. The proposed structure charges the battery more quickly when compared to the other two structures. Also the efficiency of the proposed structure has been improved under different modes of solar array operation when compared with the other two structures. To verify the system, experiments are carried out under different modes of solar array operation, including PPT charge, battery discharge, and eclipse and trickle charge.

This paper is a study on the rotating type of superconducting power supply(R.S.P.S.) with superconducting excitation coils. In this paper, a new idea of excitation coil is introduced to control the pole-flux in air gap. We manufactured the R.S.P.S. by using superconducting excitation coils and measured the charging current of superconducting load with respect to rotational speeds and excitational current. Through this experiment, 425A of maximum current was obtained a few minutes. It turned out that the charging rate of load current is proportional to rotational speeds and excitational current. Furthermore, it is found that it's possible to generate the charge current of thousands of amperes by using wires of larger critical current.
