In this paper a large scale STATCOM using double-connected multi-step inverter is proposed and operating principle along with control method is detailed. A simple auxiliary circuit including an interphase transformer is employed to improve output voltage waveform of 12-step into 36-step. The proposed scheme could be a cost effective approach in high power applications such as 10MVar to 30MVar STATCOM. Experimental results from a 2KVA laboratory prototype show validity of the proposed method.

풀 브릿지 컨버터는 1차 측과 2차 측이 트랜스포머를 통하여 절연되어 있으며, 이 트랜스포머에 교번으로 전압을 걸어주어 1주기에 2번의 전력을 전달한다. 이러한 전력 전달 과정에서 트랜스포머에 흐르는 자화 전류에 오프셋이 발생할 수 있으며, 이는 효율 감소 및 소자의 파괴를 야기할 수 있으므로 제거하는 것이 바람직하다. 디지털 개발 환경에서 트랜스포머의 자화 전류 오프셋을 줄이고 동특성의 개선을 위하여 예측 제어 방식을 사용한 최대 전류 제어 방식을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 동작을 검증한다.

This paper evalutes properties of extruding cement panel using Ca-extracted convert slag and air-cooled blast furnace slag. Flexural strength of extruding cement panel has measured in air dry and autoclave curing as basic study for use as silicious source. As a result, when Ca-extracted converter slag replaces 25% in autoclave curing, flexural strength measures 13.1MPa better than panel control mix. In result of using air-cooled blast furnace slag, Ca-extracted air-cooled blast furnace slag dose not show increase of flexural strength.

최근 국내 외의 태양광 발전 시스템은 산업화 대용량화 되어가는 추세이다. 태양광 시스템의 인버터에는 태양전지 모듈의 조합에 따라 MIC(Module-Integrated Converter), 스트링, 멀티 스트링, 센트럴, 멀티 센트럴 인버터로 분류된다. 제한하는 멀티 센트럴 방식의 인버터는 상황에 따른 특정 인버터만 구동하거나, 인버터를 개별적으로 운전하여 태양광 발전설비에 대한 시스템의 효율을 높일 수 있다. 또한 인버터의 가동 시간을 동일하게 운전하여 인버터의 사용 수명을 연장하고, 하나의 인버터 고장이나 유지 보수 시 다른 인버터를 높은 에너지로 발전할 수 있어 에너지 손실을 줄일 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문은 PV 어레이와 인버터를 모델링하였고, 제안하는 멀티 센트럴 인버터의 상황별 동작 모드에 따른 시퀀스 제어 기법을 적용하여 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

A controller design method for a battery-energy storage system using a linearized battery model is presented in this paper. The suggested linear battery model is expressed with open-circuit voltage having three relaxation filters and a linear output equation. A method to obtain on-line resistance and maximum available power is also presented. The battery state of charge information is obtained by Kalman filter, and its performance is verified by FTP75 driving cycles. The controller for power converter is designed and experimented with a 250 V battery pack. The proposed control method is simple and easy to apply to a real system.

Knowledge of a power semiconductor's operating temperature is important in circuit design and converter control. Designing appropriate circuitry that does not affect regular circuit operation during virtual junction temperature measurement at actual operating conditions is a demanding task for engineers. The proposed method enables virtual junction temperature estimation with a dedicated modified gate driver circuit based on real-time measurement of a semiconductor's quasi-threshold voltage. A simulation was conducted before the circuit was designed to verify the concept and to determine the basic properties and potential drawbacks of the proposed method.

The cascaded H-bridge (CHB) multilevel converter is a promising topology for large-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems. The output voltage over-modulation derived by the inter-module active power imbalance is one of the key issues for CHB PV systems. This paper proposed a dynamic power distribution strategy to eliminate the over-modulation in a CHB PV system by suitably redistributing the reactive power among the inverter modules of the CHB PV system. The proposed strategy can effectively extend the operating region of the CHB PV system with a simple control algorithm and easy implementation. Simulation and experimental results carried out on a seven-level CHB grid-connected PV system are shown to validate the proposed strategy.

This paper analysis the transient performance of the modified excitation system using 4-quadrant chopper for a synchronous machine connected to HVDC system. Conventionally, capacitors are used to supply reactive power requirement at a strong converter bus. And the installation of a synchronous machine is essential in an isolated weak network to re-start after a shutdown of HVDC and to increase the system strength. However, a conventional static excitation system has some problems which are harmonic instability and the system stress due to overvoltage. To reduce these problems, the new excitation system, which has 4-quadrant chopper, is proposed. As the proposed system provides the capability to allow reverse current and isolate between AC network and excitation power, problems of overvoltage and harmonic instability can be solved. The investigation is performed and confirmed by the time domain digital simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC program.

Switching power supply are widely used in many industrial field. Power factor correction(PFC) has become an increasingly necessary feature in new power supply designs. The power factor correction circuit using boost converter used in input of power source is studied in this paper. In a boost power factor correction circuit there are two feedback control loops, which are a current feedback loop and a voltage feedback loop.
