This paper presents the operation strategy of KEPCO(Korea Electric Power COporation) ${\pm}80kV$ 60MW Bipole HVDC system that will be applied between Guemak C/S(converter station) and Hanlim C/S in Jeju island. Unlike intertie HVDC system, this system is located in AC power grid inside. Therefore, the enhancement of system security related with line flow and bus voltages can be major operation strategy. In this paper, in particular, the optimal operation algorithm in the abnormal(not steady state) power system is presented and simulated.

This paper presents the operation of Fuel Cell Distributed Generation(FCDG) systems in distribution systems. Hence, modeling, controller design, and simulation study of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell(SOFC) distributed generation(DG) system are investigated. The physical model of the fuel cell stack and dynamic models of power conditioning units are described. Then, suitable control architecture based on fuzzy logic and the neural network for the overall system is presented in order to activate power control and power quality improvement. A MATLAB/Simulink simulation model is developed for the SOFC DG system by combining the individual component models and the controllers designed for the power conditioning units. Simulation results are given to show the overall system performance including active power control and voltage regulation capability of the distribution system.

This study describes how a properly calibrated simulation method could be used to investigate the latchup immunity characteristics among the various high energy ion implanted CMOS twin well (retro-grade/BILLI/BL) structures. To obtain the accurate quantitative simulation analysis of retrograde well, a global tuning procedure and a set of grid specifications for simulation accuracy and computational efficiency are carried out. The latchup characteristics of BILLI and BL structures are well predicted by applying a calibrated simulation method for retrograde well. By exploring the potential contour, current flow lines, and electron/hole current densities at the holding condition, we have observed that the holding voltage of BL structure is more sensitive to the well design rule (p+to well edge space /n +to well edge space) than to the retrograde well itself.

Capacitor Commutated Converter HVDC system is required the small reactive power. It has the advantage of an application to the week grid because the firing angle ${\alpha}$ can be increased to a value well beyond $180^{\circ}$. In this paper, The three HVDC converter arrangements which are the CCC(Capacitor Commutated Converter) and the CSCC(Controlled Series Capacitor Convertor) and Conventional Converter are compared the dynamic character. and it find that the CCC HVDC is operating with more reliability. The simulation was conducted to the PSCAD/EMTDC.

Large capacity reactive power compensation and harmonic control in the low-voltage grid of an enterprise, are important technical means to improve power quality and reduce power loss. In this paper, the principle of an efficient power quality controller is analyzed. Then, key application technologies of the HPQC which would influence the performances of the HPQC are studied. Based on an analysis of the harmonic shunt problem, a frequency dividing control strategy of the HPQC continuous subsystem is proposed. A parameter design method of the HPQC discrete subsystem and its installation method are also proposed to ensure the system compensation effect. HPQC systems have been designed for a copper foil plant. The effectiveness of this paper has been verified by the simulation and application results.

본 연구는 독립 운전 모드의 P+MR 기반의 전압제어기의 계통 동기화 방식을 조사한다. 계통 복전 후 계통과의 재연결을 위한 계통 동기화가 고정자 좌표계하에서 제어가 수행되는 경우, 독립운전하에서 정전압, 정주파수를 가지는 교류 지령 전압은 계통 전압으로 대체되는데 이 부분에서 고정자 좌표계 제어하의 현재 출력 전압과 계통 전압의 위상 차이에 기인하여 상당한 전압 오차가 발생할 여지가 있고 이러한 전압 오차 발생은 심각한 전압 과도 상태를 야기할 수 있게 된다. 추가적으로, 인버터의 출력 단에 연결된 부하가 비선형 부하라면 부하에서 생성되는 고조파에 기인하여 위에 언급된 전압 과도 상태가 더욱 심각해질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 위에 언급된 문제를 해결하기 위한 대책으로 독립 운전 모드하에서의 전압 제어를 위해 사용되는 P+MR 제어 기반의 비선형 부하를 고려한 매끄러운 계통 동기화 방식이 제안되었다. 제안된 매끄러운 계통 동기화 방식은 실험 결과를 통해 검증된다.

An investigation into power conditioners that interface with photovoltaic array and utilities has been completed. The rating for this investigation is residential system(3-5kVA) that interface with a 220V single phase utility connection. As the result of this investigation, a 3kVA high frequency PWM IGBT inverter feeding a high frequency isolation transformer with a sinusoidal current wave was selected. The output of the transformer rectified with a diode bridge rectifier. four IGBT, used as 60Hz switched, reverse the polarity of the rectified current on every other half cycle of the utility voltage. Even though the high frequency link system used more power semiconductors, a net size, weight, and parts cost saving result compared to the other systems due to elimination of 60Hz transformer.

This paper mainly proposes a direct torque control strategy to minimize torque ripple in brushless DC (BLDC) motor. BLDC motor has large current and torque ripple when one voltage vector applied in one cycle due to its low inductance. Hence, this paper proposed a hysteresis torque control with PWM mode to control the resultant torque. Moreover, when the direct torque control system is operating during the two-phase half-bridge $120^{\circ}$ conduction mode, large torque ripple in commutation area appears every 120 electrical degree. Based on analyzing the root of torque ripple in detail, lookup tables of switching devices states for new half-bridge modulation mode in the positive and negative reference torque put forwarded. Finally, simulations by MATLAB software and experiment results from DSP are presented to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed strategy operating in four-quadrant operation.

Especially, Fiber glass Reinforced Plastics(FRP) is the best composite insulating material which has been so far. Therefore, it's worthy of notice to investigate on the corona electrified composite insulating material by surface condition. And then some other materials will be focussed on. In this study, charge decay were measured with charging-time and grid voltage on FRP composite material surface in order to analyze the mechanism. As a result we have studied that the way of the composite glass fiber(GF) and Polymer and the condition of the contaminated surface was different. In case of the GF is mixed with vertical, charge decay speed is fast because the charge is easily leaked. On the other hand, the surface charge decay speed is depend on conductive or insulated of the contaminant.

The conventional central photo voltaic inverters have several problems. First, shadow problem in each solar panel, and high DC voltage problem from each panel because of concentration to one central inverter. Therefore, module integrated inverter is proposed to solve these problems. The inverter should be small and cost effective. The cost and size in the inverter depend on the inductor. So the switching frequency should be increased to reduce the inductor and total size, but there is a problem in efficiency because of the losses in turn-on and turn-off. In the paper, the critical conduction mode(CRM) switching method is adopted to reduce the switching loss and interleaving method is proposed to increase the efficiency in Flyback converter. Finally, the validity of the proposed scheme is investigated with simulated and experimental results for a prototype system rated at 200W.
