The rapidly growing demand for electric power systems in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) require simpler, cost-effective, and higher performance components. In this paper, a novel power conversion system for hybrid electric vehicles is proposed for these needs. The proposed power conversion system reduces the conversion system cost while preserving same functionality. The proposed power conversion system can boost multi-sources to drive a traction motor and to store energy at the same time reducing number of switching components. In this paper, all operational modes of the proposed converter are explained in detail and verified by a computer simulation first. Then, the topology and operational modes are experimentally verified. Based on the results, the feasibility of the proposed multi-mode single leg power conversion system for EV and HEV applications is discussed.

In this paper, three types of power control strategies for controlling a Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicle(FCHEV) are studied in view of fuel economy. The FCHEV has become one of alternatives for future vehicles since it does emit water only without any exhaust gas while it has a high well-to-wheel efficiency together with an energy saving due to regenerative braking. However, it has also several disadvantages such as the complexity of vehicle system, the increased weight and the extra battery cost. Among various power control strategies, a static power control strategy, a power assist control strategy and a fuzzy logic-based power control strategy are simulated and compared to show the effectiveness of each method.

This paper introduces a novel topology and an effective control strategy for a shunt hybrid power filter (SHPF) to simultaneously compensate harmonic currents and reactive power. The proposed SHPF topology is composed of an LC passive filter tuned to the 7^th harmonic frequency and a small-rated active filter connected in parallel with the inductor L_pf of the LC passive filter. Together with the SHPF topology, we also propose a control strategy, which consists of a proportional-integral (PI) controller for DC-link voltage regulation and a PI plus repetitive current controller, in order to compensate both the harmonic current and the reactive power without the need for additional hardware. Thanks to the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, the supply current is sufficiently compensated to be sinusoidal and in-phase with the supply voltage, regardless of the distorted and phase lagging of the load current. The effectiveness of the proposed SHPF topology and control strategy is verified by simulated and experimental results.

Wearable devices have become widespread. Fitness band is one of common wearable devices, providing useful functions. It helps users to monitor and collect their status such as heart rate and travel distance. Wearable devices, including fitness bands, are designed in small size and it ends up having small battery capacity. In that regard, it is necessary to expand the lifetime of wearable devices. Conventional power management scheme of wearable devices is based on DVFS Ondemand Governor and peripheral control by timeout event, such as turning off the LCD. In this paper, we propose a hybrid governor applying hardware supporting low power mode such as sleep mode to exploit the periodicity of fitness band task. In addition, we show hybrid governor outperforms in power consumption than conventional power management scheme of wearable devices based on Ondemand Governor through experiments.

친환경 및 연비에 대한 요구와 제한은 하이브리드 차량과 같은 친환경 고연비 차량기술을 발전시켜왔다. 하이브리드 차량의 연비는 시스템의 특성으로 인해 주행 후 배터리 충전량의 변화를 연비에 반영시키는 등가연료사용량이 연료소비량에 추가되므로 제어전략에서 배터리 사용영역 증가만으로 연비를 향상시킬 수 없었다. 본 논문은 연료전지 하이브리드 차량을 matlab simulink상에서 모델링하고 기존제어전략에서 연료전지의 사용구간을 분석하여 연료전지 주 사용영역에서의 배터리와 연료전지 간 동력분배를 연비향상을 목표로 최적화하여 등가연료사용량을 포함한 총연비의 향상을 시도하였다.

Reliability, availability, and cost have been the major concerns for photovoltaic hybrid systems since their beginning as primary sources for much critical applications like communication units and repeaters. This paper descnbes the performance of two hybrid systems, photovoltaic-battery, wind-turbine coupled with the public-grid (PVBWG) hybrid system and photovoltaic-battery, wind-turbine coupled With the diesel generator (PVBWD) hybrid system The systems are sized to power a typical 300W/48V de telecommunication load continuously throughout the year Such hybrid systems consist of subsystems, which in turn consist of components Failure of anyone of these components may cause failure of the entire system. The reliability and availability basics, and estimation procedure for the two proposals are introduced also in this paper. The PVBWG and PVBWD system configurations are shown with the relevant mean-time-between-faIlure (MTBF) and failure rate (${\lambda}$) of each component. The characteristics equations of the two systems are deduced as a function of operating hours and the percentage of sun and wind availabilities per day. The system probability failure as well as the reliability is estimated based on the fault tree analysis technique. The results show that, by using standard or normal components MTBF, the PVBWG is more reliable and the time of periodic maintenance period is more than one year especially in the rich sites of both sun and wind, but PVBWD competes else Also, in the first five years from the system installation, the system is quit reliable and may not require any maintenance. The results show also, as the sun and wind are available, as the system reliable and available.

A laser beam welding and an electric arc welding were combined, and the positive points of each welding method are drawn such as high speed, low thermal load, deep penetration, and high productivity. The fiber laser-MIG conjugated welding. namely the hybrid welding has been studied mainly for the automation industry of a pipeline welding. In this study, the MIG welding was combined with a fiber laser welding to make up the hybrid welding. The weld shapes, microstructures and mechanical properties for weld zones after the hybrid welding or only fiber laser welding were investigated on the 700 MPa grade Ultra Fine Grained(UFG) high strength steel. The amount of acicular ferrite in weld metals and HAZ(heat affected zone) was observed larger after hybrid welding compared with after only laser welding. The Vickers hardness of the top area of the fusion zone after fiber laser welding was higher compared with after hybrid welding.

About 100 years after the start of mass production by American car maker Ford in 1913, the automobile industry has come to a major transformation in 100 years. In this transformation period, automakers are facing the biggest challenge of converting power sources, the basis of automobiles, from existing internal combustion engines to electric vehicles. Hybrid vehicles have been released in Japan since the late 1990s, and changes in automobile power sources have occurred early. In order to gain global leadership in hybrid vehicles, Japanese automakers and the Japanese government joined forces to promote the growth of the domestic hybrid vehicle market. The government has implemented a policy to substantially subsidize the high price of hybrid cars compared to internal combustion engine cars by providing purchase subsidies and tax benefits to buyers. Toyota has increased its line-up of hybrid cars around the Prius and has further strengthened communication with customers for the sale of hybrid vehicles. As a result of continuing these efforts for about 20 years, the percentage of Japan's hybrid vehicle market in 2022 reached 51% for passenger cars. Recently, each country has been setting and promoting aggressive goals for electric vehicles that require a wider range of physical and institutional infrastructure than hybrid vehicles. This study aims to assess the growth of electric vehicles by looking at the trend of hybrid vehicles and how they've been distributed in the Japanese market.

두 종류의 넓은 대역폭을 갖는 ring hybrids(하나는 coupled line이 포함되어 있고, 다른 하나는 left-handed transmission line을 포함한 ring hybrids)가 비교되었으며, 비교 결과로부터 coupled line을 포함한 ring hybrid가 모든 면에서 우수한 특성을 가짐을 보여줬다. 그러나, coupled line을 포함한 ring hybrid는 -3 dB coupling power를 가질 경우에 한해서만이 perfect matching이 이루어지기 때문에, perfect matching을 갖는 coupled line ring hybrid는 2차원으로 구현하기는 거의 불가능하다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 coupled line을 해석했고, 그 해석 결과로부터 coupling coefficient에 관계없이 어느 경우에도 perfect matching을 이룰 수 있는 설계 식을 유도했다. 이 설계식을 이용하여, transmission line의 길이가 ${\pi}$보다 큰 경우에도 적용될 수 있는 크기를 줄이기 위한 새로운 형태의 transmission line 등가회로를 제시했다. 이 새로운 형태의 transmission line의 등가회로를 이용하면 기존의 ring hybrid의 $3\;{\lambda}/4$의 transmission line을 줄이는 데 사용할 수 있기 때문에 ring hybrid의 크기를 더욱 줄이는데 장점이 될 수 있다. 이 등가회로를 증명하기 위해서, coupling power를 고정하고 또는 transmission line의 길이를 고정하는 2가지 형태의 simulation을 하였으며, 대역폭은 coupled line의 coupling power에 직접적인 상관 관계가 있음을 보였다. 기존의 등가회로와 새로운 형태의 등가회로를 이용하여, 작고 넓은 대역폭을 가지는 ring hybrid를 제시하였다. 새로 제시된 ring hybrid를 이용하여, 기존의 ring hybrid와 비교하였다. 비교 결과로부터, 본 논문에서 제시한 ring hybrid의 전체 ring 둘레가 1/3보다 더 작음에도 불구하고, 대역폭이 훨씬 넓음을 보여줬다. 작고 넓은 대역폭을 가지는 ring hybrid를 측정했으며, 측정 결과는 -2.78 dB, -3.34 dB, -2.8 dB, -3.2 dB의 power division 특성을 보여줬으며, matching과 isolation은 20 % 이상의 대역폭에서 -20 dB보다 좋은 특성을 보여줬다.
