This paper proposes a new control method for the supercapacitor (SC) to compensate the pulsed load and to enhance the power quality of the DC microgrid. By coordinating the operating frequency, the SC is controlled to handle the surge current, while the low-frequency current component is dealt with by the remaining sources in the system. The operation mode of the SC unit is automatically changed based on the state of charge and DC bus voltage level. Meanwhile, the mismatch in the power demand is covered by the SC unit by regulating the DC bus voltage level. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified experimentally by the prototype with two distributed generators and one SC unit.

ASC(Avionics System Computer) was developed to control weapon delivery and navigation sensors, and to perform man-machine interface with pilots for XKO-1 aircraft. The data communications between ASC and UFC(Up Front Controller), DC(Data Concentrator) were implemented by RS422 serial data bus. Also, SCIL(Standard Computer Interface Library) was designed to facilitate control and management of the computer hardware resources and is embedded in the ASC. These structures have a merit of noise immunity and a reduction of wire harness for signal lines, and enable OFP(Operational Flight Program) programmers to use the SCIL easily without knowing hardware details. Manufactured system was on installed on XKO-1, and peformed for BIT(Built In Test) and interface test with UFC and DC. The test results show that it meets the system requirements.

Nowadays, a DC microgrid that can link various distributed power sources is gaining much attention. Accordingly, research on fault situations, such as line-to-line and line-to-ground faults of the DC microgrid, has been conducted to improve grid reliability. However, the blackout of an AC system and the oscillation of a DC bus voltage have not been reported or have not been sufficiently verified by previous research. In this study, a 20 kW DC microgrid testbed using a power HIL simulation technique is proposed. This testbed can simulate various fault conditions without any additional grid facilities and dangerous experiments. It includes the blackout of the DC microgrid caused by the AC utility grid's blackout, a drastic load increment, and the DC bus voltage oscillation caused by the LCL filter of the voltage source converter. The effectiveness of the proposed testbed is verified by using Opal-RT's OP5707 real-time simulator with a 3 kW prototype three-port dual-active-bridge converter.

This paper presents a novel circuit topology of a DC bus line series switch and parallel snubbing capacitor-assisted soft-switching PWM full-bridge inverter type DC-DC power converter with a high frequency planar transformer link, which is newly developed for high performance arc welding machines in industry. The proposed DC-DC power converter circuit is based upon a voltage source-fed H type full-bridge soft-switching PWM inverter with a high frequency transformer. This DC-DC power converter has a single power semiconductor switching device in series with an input DC low side rail and loss less snubbing capacitor in parallel with the inverter bridge legs. All the active power switches in the full-bridge arms and DC bus line can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off transition commutation. Consequently, the total switching power losses occurred at turn-off switching transition of these power semiconductor devices; IGBTs can be reduced even in higher switching frequency bands ranging from 20 kHz to 100 kHz. The switching frequency of this DC-DC power converter using IGBT power modules can be realized at 60 kHz. It is proved experimentally by power loss analysis that the more the switching frequency increases, the more the proposed DC-DC power converter can achieve a higher control response performance and size miniaturization. The practical and inherent effectiveness of the new DC-DC converter topology proposed here is actually confirmed for low voltage and large current DC-DC power supplies (32V, 300A) for TIG arc welding applications in industry.

In electrolysis smelting plants that using high DC current, the bus bar is most important facility for delivering the high current. The copper made bus bar is widely used for various advantages as good electrical and thermal conductivity, resonable malleability, ductility, and not rust easily. However, when high current in copper bus bar, temperature rises and maximum allowable current capacity is restricted by temperature of bus bar. In this paper, we investigated temperature variation of copper bus bar by putting cooling water channel imposed to bus bar construction. For the validity, various simulations were carried out.

An optimal operation method based on weighted efficiency for a two-stage boost converter is proposed in this study. Detailed loss analysis of the converter is performed to derive the optimal operation method according to the load and input voltage fluctuations, and the optimal DC-bus voltage is derived by applying the weighted efficiency method. The proposed method can satisfy optimal efficiency in the main operation region without a complicated control method. Using 1kW typical two-stage boost converter and is verified three types of weighted efficiency formulas and loss analysis are utilized to derive high-efficiency optimal DC-bus voltage from each load range.

본 연구에서는 일반적으로 용접기의 전원장치로 사용되어지는 풀-브리지 회로에 1개의 스위치와 1개의 무손실스너버 부분 공진 커패시터로 구성된 간단한 액티브 보조 부분 공진 스너버를 추가한 새로운 풀-브리지 소프트 스위칭 PWM DC-DC 컨버터를 제안하였다. 제안한 풀-브리지 소프트 스위칭 DC-DC 컨버터 회로는 각 액티브 스위치에 인가된 전압이 DC 버스 라인 전압의 1/2로 되기 때문에 AC 400(V)계 상용전원 라인에 적용할 경우에도 600(V)내압의 스위칭 소자(IGBT)가 적용 가능하며, 기존 회로의 DC버스 라인 스위치에 발생되는 도통 손실을 저감하여 고주파 변압기의 1차측의 전류가 2차측보다 작아지는 저 전압, 대전류 직류 출력을 얻어 수 있었다. 그리고 모든 영역에서 ZCS/ZVS 동작함으로써 저전압, 대전류 직류 출력의 스위칭 전원 장치에 있어 고주파, 고효율, 고출력을 실현할 수 있다. 이러한 모든 사항은 시뮬레이션과 실험 결과로부터 도출하였으며, 제안한 회로의 단점을 보완할 경우에는 차세대형 TIG MIG MAG 아크 용접기용 전원으로 용이할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents a new circuit topology of active edge resonant snubbers assisted half-bridge soft switching PWM inverter type DC-DC high power converter for DC bus feeding power plants. The proposed DC-DC power converter is composed of a typical voltage source-fed half-bridge high frequency PWM inverter with a high frequency planar transformer link in addition to input DC busline side power semiconductor switching devices for PWM control scheme and parallel capacitive lossless snubbers. The operating principle of the new DC-DC converter treated here is described by using switching mode equivalent circuits, together with its unique features. All the active power switches in the half-bridge arms and input DC buslines can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutation transitions. The total turn-off switching losses of the power switches can be significantly reduced. As a result, a high switching frequency IGBTs can be actually selected in the frequency range of 60 kHz under the principle of soft switching. The performance evaluations of the experimental setup are illustrated practically. The effectiveness of this new converter topology is proved for such low voltage and large current DC-DC power supplies as DC bus feeding from a practical point of view.

본 논문은 플래너 버스바가 적용된 BLDC 전동기 드라이브 시스템에서, 직류단 캐패시터 전단 전류를 이용한 BLDC 전동기의 상전류 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 플래너 버스바는 기생 인덕턴스의 크기를 최소화하여 스위칭 시 스파크에 의한 소자 파손을 방지하고, EMC (ElectroMagnetic Compatibility) 특성을 향상시킨다. 하지만 플래너 버스바의 장점을 극대화하기 위해서는 직류단 캐패시터의 전단에 전류 센서를 설치할 수밖에 없는 구조적 제약이 따른다. 직류단 캐패시터 전단에 설치된 전류 센서는 캐패시터에 흐르는 전류와 인버터 입력전류의 합을 측정하게 된다. 따라서 직류단 캐패시터 전단 전류로부터 인버터의 입력전류를 정확하게 추출하는 것이 BLDC 전동기의 전류 제어를 위해서는 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 BLDC 전동기의 온/오프 구간 동안의 등가 회로를 분석하여 캐패시터 전단 전류로부터 인버터 입력전류를 추정하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 실험을 통해 그 타당성을 검증하였다.
