In this paper, a hierarchical control strategy is introduced to control a new three-port multidirectional DC-DC converter for integrating an energy storage system (ESS) to a bipolar DC microgrid (BPDCMG). The proposed converter provides a voltage-balancing function for the BPDCMG and adjusts the states of charge (SoC) of the ESS. Previous studies tend to balance the voltage of the BPDCMG buses with active sources or by transferring power from one bus to another. Furthermore, the batteries available in BPDCMGs were charged equally by both buses. However, this power sharing method does not guarantee efficient operation of the whole system. In order to achieve a higher efficiency and lower energy losses, a triple-layer hierarchical control strategy, including a primary droop controller, a secondary voltage restoration controller and a tertiary optimization controller are proposed. Thanks to the multi-functional operation of the proposed converter, its conversion stages are reduced. Furthermore, the efficiency and weight of the system are both improved. Therefore, this converter has a significant capability to be used in portable BPDCMGs such as electric DC ships. The converter modes are analyzed and small-signal models of the converter are extracted. Comprehensive simulation studies are carried out and a BPDCMG laboratory setup is implemented in order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed converter and its hierarchical control strategy. Simulation and experimental results show that using the proposed converter mitigates voltage imbalances. As a result, the system efficiency is improved by using the hierarchical optimal power flow control.

The new millennium has started with several innovations driven by fast evolution of the technologies in energy sector. A strong impulse towards the diffusion of new economical efficient technologies regulatory incentives related to energy production from renewable source and a small scale building trigeneration and to promotion of more sustainable environmental-friendly generation solutions, the evolution of electricity markets, more and more binding local emission constraints, and the need for improving the security of supply to reduce the energy system vulnerability. The 24 percentage energy quantify of total energy consumption consumes in commercial buildings and residential houses and the 30% portion of total $CO_2$ emissions covers also in the commercial buildings and residential houses sector. To cope with efficiently this energy sinuation in building sector, Building microgrid or building tooling, heating & power(BCHP) system has been interested in recent day due to meeting thermal and electric energy requirements efficiently and with appropriate energy quality. A multi agent system is a collective of intelligent agents that communicate with each other and work cooperatively to achieve common goals. Also, it is to medicate and coordinate communication between Control Areas and Security Coordinators for teal-time control of the BCHP system and the power pid. In this new circumstance, it is very important to integrate the power and energy delivery system and the information system(communication, networks, and intelligent equipment) that controls it. Therefore, development of smart control modules with open communication protocol and seamlessly interchange the data and information between control network and data network including extranet and intranet give a great meanings. We designed and developed the TCP/IP-CAN IED agent modules and ModBus./LonTalk/(TCP/IP) IED agent ones to configure the multi-agent system based smart energy network of commercial buildings and also intelligent algorithms for inverter fault diagnostics which ran be operated in control level or agent level network.

In modern society, the number of industrial customers using equipment sensitive particularly to voltage sags is rapidly increasing. As voltage sags can cause loss of information as well as false operation of the control device, it results in the vast economic damage in industrial processes. One way to mitigate voltage sags in the sensitive loads is the installation of distributed generation (DGs) on the periphery of these loads. In addition, renewable energy sources are currently in the spot light as the potential solution for the energy crisis and environmental issues. In particular, wind power generation which is connected to a grid is rising rapidly because it is energy efficient and also economically feasible compared to other renewable energy sources. On the basis of the above information, in this paper, with Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) installed nearby the sensitive load, the analysis of the mitigating effect comparison by types of WTGs is performed using voltage sag assessment on the IEEE-30 bus test system. That is, the areas of vulnerability according to types of WTGs are expected to be different by how much reactive power is produced or consumed as WTG reactive power capability is related to the types of WTGs. Using the concept of 'Vulnerable area' with the failure rate for buses and lines, the annual number of voltage sags at the sensitive load with the installation of WTGs per type is studied. This research will be anticipated to be useful data when determining the interconnection of wind power generation in the power system with the consideration of voltage sags.

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.

AC 방식 마이크로그리드는 다양한 DC/AC 인버터를 AC 네트워크에 연결하여, DC 방식 마이크로그리드의 약점을 극복 하고 있다. 그러나 소규모 마이크로그리드에서 일반적으로 발생하는 심각한 부하 불평형 현상에 의하여, AC 마이크로그리드 시스템의 성능을 약화시킬 수 있다. 이것은 마이크로그리드 내의 불평형 부하로 인하여 상별 에너지 흐름과 전압조정기능이 제한되기 때문이다. 이러한 불평형 전압문제를 해결하기 위하여, 3상 4-Leg 방식의 인버터가 제안되고 있지만, 이를 안정적으로 운용할 수 있는 제어알고리즘이 미비한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 부하 불평형에 의해서 발생하는 인버터의 전압 불평형 문제를 해결하고 안정적으로 제어하기 위하여 d-q제어를 기반으로 3상4선식 인버터의 각상 개별제어 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한, 이 알고리즘을 바탕으로 Matlab/Simulink를 이용하여 4-Leg 방식의 전압제어기 모델링을 수행하였다. 이 모델링과 250KW급 시험장치를 바탕으로 인버터의 출력전압 제어특성을 분석한 결과, 정상상태에서는 기존의 방식과 비슷한 특성을 보이지만, 과도상태에서는 제안한 각상 개별제어 방식이 기존의 방식보다 안정적으로 동작하여 제안한 방식의 유용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

디지털변전소는 전력망 지능화를 위해 감시, 계측, 제어·보호, 운전 등 변전소를 구성하는 전력설비 기능과 통신방식을 국제표준인 IEC61850 기반으로 디지털화한 변전소를 말한다. 지능화된 운영시스템을 기반으로 효율적인 전력설비의 감시제어가 가능하며, 사고 발생 시 자동 복구 기능과 원격제어가 가능해 신속한 전력 장애 복구가 가능하다. 디지털 기술의 발달과 친환경 신재생에너지 및 전기차의 도입이 확대 되면서 직류 배전시스템의 보급이 확대될 전망이다. MVDC는 기존 송전계통에 적용되는 HVDC와 수용가에서의 LVDC 사이의 전압 레벨 및 전송용량을 갖는 직류 선로를 활용한 시스템이다. 대부분의 전력설비들이 교류 중심인 기존변전소의 기존 선로를 직류 선로로 변환하면 송전 손실 감소 및 더 큰 전류 용량이 확보된다. 디지털변전소의 프로세스 버스는 베이 레벨과 프로세스 레벨의 설치된 장치 간을 연결하는 이더넷스위치 등의 통신장비로 구성된 통신네트워크이다. 기존 디지털변전소에 MVDC 연계를 위해 프로세스 레벨을 교류부와 직류부로 나누어 두 개의 버스로 구성을 하였고 감시, 제어만 아니라 진단 IED와 연계되어 종합적으로 관리할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하였다.

Objectives: Aircraft cabin cleaning work is characterized by being performed within a limited time in a narrow and enclosed space. The objective of this study was to evaluate the exposure levels to dust, ultra fine dust(PM2.5) and black carbon(BC) among aircraft cabin cleaners. Methods: Active personal air sampling for respirable dust(n=73) and BC(n=47) was conducted during quick transit cleaning(cabin general and vacuum-specific) and seat cover replacement and total dust and PM2.5 were area-air-sampled as well. Also, size distribution of particle was identified with the cleaning workers targeted. Dusts were collected with PVC filters using gravimetric analysis. The concentration of PM2.5 and the particle size distribution were measured with real-time direct reading portable equipment using light scattering analysis. The concentration of BC was measured by aethalometer(filter-based real-time light absorption analysis instrument). Results: The geometric mean of respirable dust was the highest at vacuum cleaning as 74.4 ㎍/m³, following by replacing seat covers as 49.3 ㎍/m³ and cabin general cleaning as 47.8 ㎍/m³ . The arithmetic mean of PM2.5 was 4.83 ~ 9.89 ㎍/m³ inside the cabin, and 28.5~44.5 ㎍/m³ outside the cabin(from bus and outdoor waiting space). From size distribution, PM_2.5/PM₁₀ ratio was 0.54 at quick transit cleaning and 0.41 at replacing seat covers. The average concentration of BC was 2~7 ㎍/m³, showing a high correlation with the PM2.5 concentration. Conclusions: The hazards concentration levels of aircraft cabin cleaners were very similar to those of roadside outdoor workers. As the main source of pollution is estimated to be diesel vehicles operating at airports, and it is necessary to replace older vehicles, strengthen pollutant emission control regulations, and introduce electric vehicles. In addition, it is necessary to provide as part of airport-inftastructure a stable standby waiting space for aircraft cabin cleaners and introduce a systematic safety and health management system for all workers in the aviation industry.
