Recently, demand for technology for energy economy and stable supply is increasing due to the increase in power demand of loads. The amount of DC power generation using new and renewable energy is noticeably increasing, and the use of DC power supplies is also increasing due to the increase in electric vehicles and digital loads. During parallel operation to increase the capacity of the power converter, the module bus method or the method using Can communication and serial communication has significant difficulties in smooth operation due to communication time delay for information sharing. Synchronization of information sharing of each power converter is essential for smooth parallel operation, and minimization of communication time delay is urgently needed as a way to overcome this problem. In this paper, a new communication method using pulse width information is proposed as a communication method specialized for parallel operation of power converters to compensate for the disadvantage of communication transmission delay in the existing system. The proposed communication method has the advantage of being easily implemented using the PWM and Capture function of the microcomputer. In addition, the DC/DC converter for DC distribution was verified through simulation and experiment, and it has the advantage of easy capacity expansion when applied to parallel operation of various types of power converters as well as DC/DC converters.

In this paper, the automatic precision measurement of RF voltage has been done using the power and impedance standards [1] in the frequency range of 50 to 1000 MHz. A coaxial microcalorimeter and an automatic network analyzer were used for the determination of the RF-DC differences and the total uncertainty is about 1.0 %. A HP computer, a commodore computer and IEEE-488 interface bus were used for measuring the effective efficiency of thermistor mount and the RF-DC difference of thermal voltage converter, All processes of measurement were accomplished by self-developed program automatically.

This paper proposes a regeneration inverter system, which can regenerate the excessive power form the DC bus line to the AC source for traction systems. The proposed regeneration inverter system for DC traction can reduce harmonics which is a characteristic of the AC current source. The simulation was composed as a prototype model[3.7kW]. Finally, it is shown that the inverter can successfully operate in regeneration mode.

A hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform for a power management control of islanded DC microgrids is established. In order to avoid the complexity and high costs, a decentralized control based on the DC Bus Signaling (DBS) method is applied to the HIL system. The simulation results for the HIL microgrid platform have verified the effectiveness of power management strategy.

New methodology for probabilistic reliability based grid expansion planning of HVDC in power system including Wind Turbine Generators(WTG) is developed in this paper. This problem is focused on scenario based optimal selection technique to decide best connection bus of new transmission lines of HVDC in view point of adequacy reliability in power system including WTG. This requires two kinds of modeling and simulation for reliability evaluation. One is how is reliability evaluation model and simulation of WTG. Another is to develop a failure model of HVDC. First, reliability evaluation of power system including WTG needs multi-state simulation methodology because of intermittent characteristics of wind speed and nonlinear generation curve of WTG. Reliability methodology of power system including WTG has already been developed with considering multi-state simulation over the years in the world. The multi-state model already developed by authors is used for WTG reliability simulation in this study. Second, the power system including HVDC includes AC/DC converter and DC/AC inverter substation. The substation is composed of a lot of thyristor devices, in which devices have possibility of failure occurrence in potential. Failure model of AC/DC converter and DC/AC inverter substation in order to simulate HVDC reliability is newly proposed in this paper. Furthermore, this problem should be formulated in hierarchical level II(HLII) reliability evaluation because of best bus choice problem for connecting new HVDC and transmission lines consideration. HLII reliability simulation technique is not simple but difficult and complex. CmRel program, which is adequacy reliability evaluation program developed by authors, is extended and developed for this study. Using proposed method, new HVDC connected bus point is able to be decided at best reliability level successfully. Methodology proposed in this paper is applied to small sized model power system.

Copper is widely used in electric wire, cable, conductor in electric devices. As the demand for electric power is increasing rapidly, electric power devices are getting amazingly bigger and complicated. The using of light-weight conductor can reduce the size and making cost of the electric devices. In high-frequency application, Electric current in a conductor tends to shift to the surface of the conductor, resulting in an uneven current distribution in the inner conductor. In the extreme case the current may essentially concentrate in the 'skin' of the inner conductor as a surface current. In high frequency application, therefore, inner area of copper conductor may replace with aluminum conductor, which reduces the weight of conductor. This paper describes the manufacture and evaluation of composite conductors made of copper and aluminum. The optimum extruding ratio was 16 at $300^{\circ}C$. The electrical resistance of manufactured composite bus bar was $57{\mu}{\Omega}$ at DC and $49.5{\mu}\{Omega}$ at 300Hz.

본 논문은 전기버스에 사용되는 HDC(High voltage DC-DC Converter)를 위한 제어 전략에 대하여 설명한다. 기존 IGBT를 사용한 HDC는 낮은 동작 주파수로 인하여 전류 리플 만족을 위해 인덕터 용량이 증대되며, 대 전류 구동 시 자기 포화방지를 위해 코어의 크기가 커지는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 고속 스위칭 특성이 우수한 SiC-FET의 적용을 통해 인덕터 용량을 저감하였다. 또한 일반 산업에서 많이 사용되고 있는 Phase-Shift PWM 방식의 아날로그 IC를 사용하여 비절연 강압형 DC-DC 컨버터의 동작 및 성능을 구현시킬 수 있는 방법에 대하여 설명한다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 방식의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 이론적 분석 및 시작품을 제작하여 실험을 수행하였으며, 본 연구의 제어 전략과 제품의 성능은 실차 시험을 통하여 그 타당성을 검증하였고 보완설계를 통하여 신뢰성을 확보하였다.

This paper proposed a regeneration inverter system, which can regenerate the excessive power form dc bus line to ac source for traction system. The proposed regeneration inverter system for dc traction can reduce harmonics which are include to ac current source. The regenerative inverter is operated as two modes. As a regeneration inverter mode, it can recycle regenerative energy caused by decelerating tractions and as an active power filter mode, it can compensate for harmonic distortion produced by the rectifier substation. In the paper, a regeneration inverter used PWM DC/AC converter algorithm. And an active power filter used p-q theory. The simulation was composed as a prototype model[3kW]. Simulation results show that two algorithm can be used to real model[100kW]. Finally, the inverter was successfully operated as regeneration mode.

본 논문에서 설계한 3kW급 절연형 DC/DC 컨버터는 전기 버스의 주 동력원인 고전압 배터리로부터 차량의 전장시스템에 저전압 전원을 공급한다. 이 전력변환에는 고전압 배터리측과 저전압 배터리측의 절연이 반드시 필요하기 때문에 고주파 변압기를 사용한 절연형 DC/DC 컨버터가 일반적으로 사용된다. 따라서 ZVS 동작이 가능한 위상천이 방식의 풀-브리지 컨버터를 선정하였다. 본 논문에서 사용된 전력변환장치는 차량시스템에 적용하기 적합한 프리스케일사의 32-Bit DSP인 MPC5553 기반의 제어기를 이용한 실험을 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.
