경전철 차량은 1MW이상의 전력을 요구하기 때문에 단일 인버터 시스템으로 구현할 경우 시스템 부피 및 비용 증가, 효율 감소 등 문제점을 가지게 된다. 이러한 이유로, 수 kW급 인버터 스택을 병렬로 구성하여 대용량 시스템을 구현한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 대용량 인버터 시스템을 구성하는 스택 개발 사례를 보여주고 있다. 실험을 통하여 개발한 무선급전용 인버터 스택의 성능을 검증한다.

경전철 차량에 위치한 집전장치는 무선급전 인버터로부터 전력을 공급받아 동력계통 또는 에너지 저장장치에 전력을 전달하는 역할을 한다. 따라서, 집전장치의 손실을 최소화 하고 전력을 안정적으로 전달할 수 있는 제어방법이 필요하다. 본 논문은 이러한 필요를 만족하는 적절한 제어방법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 집전장치 제어방법의 유효성을 검증한다.

Fairchild Green Mode off line buck switch for low standby power consumption and high reliability is presented. By reducing operating current and optimizing switching frequency, 20mW power consumption is achieved. High performance trans-conductance amplifier and green mode function improve the ripple and regulation in the output voltage. The conventional $FPS^{TM}$ buck and novel Fairchild buck switch are compared to show the improvement of performance. Experimental results are showed using 2W evaluation board.

This paper proposes a low voltage high current LLC resonant converter for Green PC. Green PC is composed of a lot of blade PCs, and it is a centralized system to manage them in computer center. Green PC should require that its power supplies have several characteristics such as low output voltage, high output current, and high power conversion efficiency. Conventional PSFB (Phase Shift Full Bridge) converter is usually used as DC/DC converter for computer power supply because it has high power conversion efficiency thanks to ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) operation under middle and high load conditions. However, this converter has some problems such as large switching noise and limitation of ZVS operation under light load condition. In order to improve the performance of power supply for Green PC, a new power supply using popular high efficiency LLC resonant converter for low voltage and high current application is proposed in this paper. The proposed power supply has ZVS capability over the entire load range, thus resulting in good efficiency and high switching frequency. Experimental results verify the performance of the proposed power supply for Green PC using 2[kW] (19[V], 105[A]) rated prototype converter.

A superconductor flywheel energy storage(SFES) system is mainly act an electro-mechanical battery which transfers mechanical energy into electrical form and vice versa. SFES system consists of a pair of non-contacting High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) bearings with a very low frictional loss. But it is essential to design an efficient HTS bearing considering with rotor dynamic properties through correct calculation of stiffness in order to support a huge composite flywheel rotor with high energy storage density. Static properties of HTS bearings provide data to solve problems which may occur easily in a running system. Since stiffness to counter vibration is the main parameter in designing an HTS bearing system, we investigate HTS bearing magnetic force through static properties between the Permanent Magnet(PM) and HTS. We measured axial / radial stiffness and found bearing stiffness can be easily changed by activated vibration direction between PM and HTS bulk. These results are used to determine the optimal design for a 10 kWh SFES.

Energy harvesting is an increasingly attractive source of power for cellular networks, and can be a promising solution for green networks. In this paper, we consider a cellular network with power beacons powering multiple mobile terminals with microwave power transfer in energy beamforming. In this network, the power beacons are powered by grid and renewable energy jointly. We adopt a dual-level control architecture, in which controllers collect information for a core controller, and the core controller has a real-time global view of the network. By implementing the water filling optimized power allocation strategy, the core controller optimizes the energy allocation among mobile terminals within the same cluster. In the proposed green energy cooperation paradigm, power beacons dynamically share their renewable energy by locally injecting/drawing renewable energy into/from other power beacons via the core controller. Then, we propose a new water filling optimized green energy cooperation management strategy, which jointly exploits water filling optimized power allocation strategy and green energy cooperation in cellular networks. Finally, we validate our works by simulations and show that the proposed water filling optimized green energy cooperation management strategy can achieve about 10% gains of MT's average rate and about 20% reduction of on-grid energy consumption.

Power-efficient base station (BS) operation is one of the important issues in future green cellular networks. Previously well-known BS operation schemes, the cell zooming scheme and the cell wilting and blossoming scheme, require tight cooperation between cells in cellular networks. With the previous schemes, the non-cooperative BSs of a serving cell and neighboring cells could cause coverage holes between the cells, thereby seriously degrading the quality of service as well as the power saving efficiency of the cellular networks. In this paper, we propose a novel power-efficient BS operation scheme for green downlink heterogeneous cellular networks, in which the networks virtually adjust the coverage of a serving macrocell (SM) and neighboring macrocells (NMs) without adjusting the transmission power of the BSs when the SM is lightly loaded, and the networks turn off the BS of the SM when none of active users are associated with the SM. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme significantly improves the power saving efficiency without degrading the quality of service (e.g., system throughput) of a downlink heterogeneous LTE network and outperforms the previous schemes in terms of system throughput and power saving efficiency. In particular, with the proposed scheme, macrocells are able to operate independently without the cooperation of a SM and NMs for green heterogeneous cellular networks.

대용량 전력 컨버터 시스템의 경우 전력 컨버터의 출력을 공통으로 연결하여 병렬로 전력을 공급한다. 그런데 이러한 병렬 연결형 전력 컨버터 시스템에서 별도의 부하 균등 제어방법을 사용하지 않을 경우 부하가 컨버터에 균등하게 분배되지 않기 때문에 많은 부하를 감당하는 컨버터의 경우 수명이 저하와 고장 또한 전체 시스템의 효율을 감소 시킨다. 때문에 보통의 병렬 연결 시스템의 경우 패시브한 방법으로 출력에 저항을 연결하여 저항 값을 조정하는 방법과 엑티브한 방법으로 마스터와 슬레이브를 구별하여 마스터가 출력 전류를 균등하게 보장하는 방법이 있다. 그러나 패시브한 방법의 경우 전력손실이 발생하고 엑티브한 방법의 경우 마스터와 슬레이브를 구별하여 생산하고 또한 마스터 고장의 경우 운영할 수 없게 된다. 본 논문에서는 전압센서의 게인을 기준 전압센서 값에 실시간으로 보정함으로써 적은 손실과 별도의 마스터 슬레이브의 구별없는 방법을 제안한다.
