Conventional series-resonant pulse frequency modulation controlled DC-DC high power converters with a high-frequency transformer link which is designed for driving the high power microwave generator has the problem of hard switching commutation at turn-on and turn-off of active power switching devices. This problem is due to the influence of the magnetizing current of the high-frequency transformer. This paper presents a novel prototype for a high-frequency transformer using parasitic parameters with a lossless inductive snubber and a series resonant capacitor assisted series-resonant zero current switching pulse frequency modulated DC-DC power converter, which is designed using a high power magnetron for microwave ovens. In order to implement a complete and efficient soft switching commutation, the performance of the new converter topology is practically confirmed and evaluated in the prototype of a power microwave generator.

This paper presents a new orthogonal signals generator (OSG) with DC Offset rejection for implementing a phase locked loop (PLL) in single-phase grid-connected power systems. An adaptive filter (AF) based on the least mean square (LMS) algorithm is used to constitute the OSG in this study. The DC offset in the measured grid voltage signal can be significantly rejected in the developed OSG technique. This generates two pure orthogonal signals that are free from the DC offset. As a result, the DC offset rejection performance of the presented single-phase phase locked loop (SPLL) can be enhanced. A mathematical model of the developed OSG and the principle of the adaptive filter based SPLL (AF-SPLL) are presented in detail. Finally, simulation and experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed AF-SPLL.

A wind generator (WG) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system is presented here. It comprises of a variable-speed wind generator, a high-efficiency boost-type dc/dc converter and a control unit. The advantages of the aimed system are that it does not call for the knowledge of the wind speed or the optimal power characteristics and that it operates at a variable speed, thus providing high efficiency. The WG operates at variable speed and thus suffers lower stress on the shafts and gears compared to constant-speed systems. It results in a better exploitation of the available wind energy, especially in the low wind-speed range of 2.5-4.5 m/s. It does not depend on the WG wind and rotor-speed ratings or the dc/dc converter power rating. Higher reliability, lower complexity and cost, and less mechanical stress of the WG. It can be applied to battery-charging applications.

A flux pump (FP) can inject the DC current into high temperature superconducting (HTS) field coils of a HTS rotating machine without slip ring and current lead. However, it has limits to improve the value of DC current, and has time constants of DC current according to inductances of the HTS field coils. When a large-scale HTS generator with the FP is designed, a proper point about the inductance, field current, and time constant is demanded to decide parameters of the generator. In this paper, a parameter tuning skill of a large-scale superconducting wind power generator for applying a FP has been proposed. The design of the FP has been fixed, and 12 MW HTS generators have been variously designed by adjusting parameters related with the inductance of the HTS field coil. The induced current values have been calculated based on the FP design. The time constants of the induced currents depending on the DC current values and inductances of the generator have been represented. The results of the parameter tuning of the HTS generator have been discussed in detail.

In photovoltaic(PV) generator systems, DC-DC converters are significantly considered for control system performance in power quality point of view. This paper presents a novel adaptive control method for DC-DC converters applied in PV generator systems. First, we derive a state-space average model of the converter system and then propose a reset control methodology to enhance transient response performance for time-varying PV systems. For estimating parameters of a reset control, a gradient descent optimization is utilized and an adjustment rule of them are derived respectively. An objective of the optimization is that characteristic equation of an augmented system model which is formed with an converter system model and an reset control is to trace a predefined polynomial given as a reference characteristic model. Next, we accomplish stability analysis by means of a well-known Lyapunov theory for nonlinear converter systems including time-varying voltage excitation from a PV generator. Numerical simulation demonstrates reliability of our control methodology and its superiority by comparison to a traditional control strategy.

A 30kW electrical power conversion system is developed for a variable speed wind turbine. In the wind energy conversion system(WECS) a synchronous generator with field current excitation converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. As the voltage and the frequency of the generator output vary according to the wind speed, a 6-bridge diode rectifier and a PWM boost chopper is utilized as an ac-dc converter maintaining the constant dc-link voltage with only single switch control. An input current control algorithm for maximum power generation during the variable speed operation is proposed without any usage of speed sensor. Grid connection type PWM inverter converts dc input power to ac output currents into the grid. The active power to the grid is controlled by q-axis current and the reactive power is controlled by d-axis current with appropriate decoupling. The phase angle of utility voltage is detected using software PLL(Phased Locked Loop) in d-q synchronous reference frame. Experimental results from the test of 30kW prototype wind turbine system show that the generator power can be controlled effectively during the variable speed operation without any speed sensor.

본 논문에서는 DC-DC 부스트 컨버터의 최소 입력전압을 250mV 까지 낮출 수 있도록 하는 저전압 스타트업 전압 발생기를 제안 하였다. 제안된 스타트업 전압 발생기는 250mV의 입력전압을 500mV 이상으로 승압시켜 커패시터에 충전한다. 이후, 커패시터에 저장된 전압으로 부스트 컨버터를 시동시킴으로써, 250mV의 낮은 입력 전압에서도 부스트 컨버터가 동작을 시작할 수 있도록 하였다. 부스트 컨버터가 정상 동작한 후에는, 부스트 컨버터에 의하여 만들어지는 승압된 출력전압을 다시 부스트 컨버터의 전원으로 사용하게 함으로써, 스타트업 동작 후에는 기존 부스트 컨버터와 동일한 높은 전력 변환 효율로 동작 하도록 하였다. 제안된 스타트업 전압 발생기는 낮은 입력전압에서 트랜지스터의 바디전압을 조절하여 트랜지스터의 문턱전압을 낮춤으로써, 입력전압을 승압시키는 딕슨 차지펌프에 높은 클럭 주파수와 큰 전류를 공급하도록 하였다. 제안된 스타트업 전압 발생기는 $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정으로 제작되었으며, 250mV의 입력전압에서 생성된 클럭 주파수와 출력전압은 각각 34.5kHz와 522mV였다.

터보 제너레이터의 시동기는 터보 샤프트 발전 시스템 시동기의 구성인 기어박스, DC 전동기, 저 전압 축전지를 대신하여 고속 발전기, 인버터 그리고 승압기로 구성된다. 터보 제너레이터는 시동 시 고속 회전이 요구되어 고속발전기는 수십 $\mu$Η의 낮은 누설 인덕턴스를 가지며, 인버터는 높은 전압의 DC link 전압이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 시동기 구현을 위해 축전지 전압을 높은 전압으로 승압하는 대 용량 승압기를 개발하였다. 그리고 낮은 누설 인덕턴스를 갖는 전동기 권선에 높은 주파수의 전류 제어를 위해 정밀 고속 연산을 수행하는 인버터 드라이버의 설계와 안정된 점화를 위한 터보 제너레이터의 시동 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 개발한 시동기로 터보 제너레이터의 시동을 수행하여 성능을 확인하였다.

Unlike an AC system, a DC system does not cause problems with synchronization, stability, reactive power, system losses, and cost. However, more research is still required for the application of DC Systems. This paper proposes a stable black-start strategy for a stand-alone DC micro-grid, which consists of an energy storage system, photovoltaic generator, wind-turbine generator, diesel generator, and DC loads. The proposed method is very important for avoiding inrush current and transient overvoltage in the power system equipment during restoration after a blackout. PSCAD/EMTDC software was used to simulate, analyze, and verify the method, which was found to be stable and applicable for a stand-alone DC micro-grid.
