The cooler driver electronics (CDE) for maintaining a low temperature of a satellite payload IR sensor has a compressor with a pulsation current load when in operation. This pulsation current creates a large voltage fluctuation and may negatively affect both the load and regulated bus stability. Thus, a CDE power conditioning system has a battery for use as a buffer that is connected in front of the CDE load line. In this system, a battery charger limiter circuit is required to protect from an over-charge of the battery and power to the load. In this study, an optimal design and parameter selection were developed and simulated.

본 논문에서는 새로운 16비트 저전력 ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit) 구조 및 회로를 제안하여 트랜지스터 레벨로 설계, 제작 및 테스트하였다. 설계한 ALU는 16개의 명령어를 수행하며 2단계 파이프라인 구조를 가진다. 제안한 ALU는 switched capacitance를 줄이기 위해 논리연산시에는 덧셈기가 스위칭하지 않도록 하였으며, P(propagation)블록의 출력을 듀얼버스(dual bus)구조로 하였다. 또한 이와 같은 ALU구조를 위한 새로운 효율적인 P 및 G(generation)블록을 제안하였다. 그 외에 저전력 실현을 위하여 ELM덧셈기, 이중모서리 천이 플립플롭double-edge triggered flip-flop) 및 조합형 논리형태(combination of logic style)을 사용하여 ALU를 구현하였다. 모의실험결과, 제안한 구조는 기존의 구조$^{[1.2]}$에 비교하여 수행되는 산술연산의 사용횟수에 대하여 논리연산의 사용횟수가 증가할수록 전력감축의 효과가 증가하였다. 수행되는 산술연산 대 논리연산의 전형적인 비율을 7:3이라고 가정할 때, 제안한 구조는 기존 구조에 비해서 12.7%의 전력감축을 보였다. 설계한 ALU는 0.6${\mu}m$ 단일폴리, 삼중금속 CMOS 공정으로 제작하였다. 칩 테스트 결과 최대동작 주파수는 53MHz로 동작하였고 전력소모는 전원전압 3.3 V, 동작 주파수 50MHz에서 33mW를 소모하였다.

This paper proposes a modularized two-stage charge equalization converter for a series-connected lithium-ion battery string. In this paper, the series-connected battery sting is modularized into M modules, and each module has K cells in series. With this modularization, low voltage stress on the electronic devices can be achieved. A two-stage dc-dc converter with cell selection switches is employed. The first stage dc-dc converter steps down the high bus voltage to about 10 V. The second stage dc-dc converter integrated with selection switches equalizes the cell voltages. A prototype for 88 lithium-ion battery cells is optimally designed and implemented. Experimental results verify that the proposed equalization method has good cell balancing performance showing low voltage stress, small size, and low cost.

This paper presents two new circuit topologies of DC bus lineside active edge resonant snubber assisted soft-switching PWM full-bridge DC-DC converter acceptable for either utility AC 200V-rms or AC 400V-rms input voltage source. All the active power switches in the full-bridge arms and DC busline can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutations and the total turn-off switching power losses of all active switches can be reduced for high-frequency switching action. The effectiveness of these new DC-DC converters topologies is proved for low voltage and large current high efficiency DC-DC power supplies as TIG arc welding machine from a practical point of view.

The aim of this paper is to present a new algorithm for the load flow problem using modified Newton-Raphson (NR) iteration method and a approach to derive a simple formula to compensate the reactive power at some heavy load bus. The reactive power source used in this research is the DG which is adjacent to the heavy load. Phenomena of low voltages may cause the load flow calculation process to diverge. In modified NR method, low voltages will be detected and corrected before the next iteration. Therefore, the results of load flow calculation process satisfy the voltage constraint i.e. higher than the lower voltage limit or higher than the critical voltage in case the conventional load flow diverges. Linearizing the power network using PTDFs is a simple method with accepted errors. A new value of voltage at the DG terminal is computed in terms of the voltage deviation of load buses. In this approach, solving the entire system is unnecessary.

To match the dynamic lower voltage of a fuel cell stack and the required constant higher voltage (400V) of a DC bus, an H-type structural Boost three-level DC-DC converter with a wide voltage-gain range (HS-BTL) is presented in this paper. When compared with the traditional flying-capacitor Boost three-level DC-DC converter, the proposed converter can obtain a higher voltage-gain and does not require a complicate control for the flying-capacitor voltage balance. Moreover, the proposed converter, which can draw a continuous and low-rippled current from an input source, has the advantages of a wide voltage-gain range and low voltage stress for power semiconductors. The operating principle, parameters design and a comparison with other converters are presented and analyzed. Experimental results are also given to verify the aforementioned characteristics and theoretical analysis. The proposed converter is suitable for application of fuel cell systems.

This paper describes the construction scheme of new distribution system using HTS(High Temperature Superconducting) power equipments such as cable, transformer and FCL(fault current limiter). At present, one of the most serious problems in distribution power system, especially for metropolitan complex city, is to obtain the ROW for cable line routes, space for downtown substations and satisfy the environmental protection caused by NIMBY phenomena. Unfortunately, it is expected that this situation will get more and more worse. As the HTS technology to apply in power system Is developed, HTS cable utilizing mass-capacity characteristic can be a useful countermeasure to overcome this problem. This paper describes the application methodology of 22.9kV HTS cable with low-voltage, mass-capacity characteristics replacing the 154kV conventional cable. By applying 22.9kV HTS cable, the HTS transformer with higher capacity for the reduction of space and transformer numbers of downtown substation is necessary. Also, if the leakage Impedance of HTS transformer is same as or lower than that of conventional transformer, the fault current of 22.9kV bus will increase because the HTS transformer capacity is larger than that of the conventional transformer. This means the parallel application of HTS-FCL to reduce the fault current in addition to the HTS cable and transformer can be necessary. With the basic construction scheme of new distribution system, this paper describes the future study points to realize this new distribution system using HTS equipments.

The trend of compact size, light weight, low power consumption in the portable telecommunication equipments demands large scale integration and low voltage operation of chips and the minimization of the number of the components in the telecommunication terminal. According to the trend, existing chip components are modulized and are integrated as a part into a bigger chip. This paper is about the development of the peripheral units of micro-controller for mobile telecommunication terminal. Peripherals consist of DMA controller, Interrupt controller, timer, watchdog timer, clock generator, and power management unit. They are designed to be integrated with EU(Execution Unit) and BIU(Bus Interface Unit) into a 16 bit micro-controller which will be used as a core of an ASIC for next generation digital mobile telecommunication terminal. At first, whole block of the micro-controller was described by VHDL behavioral model and simulated to verify its overall operation. Then, watchdog timer, clock generator and power management unit were directly synthesized by using VHDL synthesis tool. Rest of the pheriperal units were designed and simulated by using Compass Design Tool.

An energy management method of DC microgrids using voltage compensation term is proposed in this study. Droop control is often implemented to operate the DC microgrid. However, the droop control necessarily generates voltage variation. Energy flow is also difficult to control because the droop control mainly focuses on proportional load sharing. To solve these problems, the voltage compensation term based on the low-bandwidth communication is used to determine the operating band of the converter. Energy management and voltage variation minimization can be achieved by judging the operating band according to the magnitude of voltage compensation term. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation and experiments.

This paper proposes the use of fuzzy applications to a 4-machine and 10-bus system to check stability in open conditions. Fuzzy controllers and the excitation of a synchronous generator are added. Power system stabilizers (PSSs) are added to the excitation system to enhance damping during low frequency oscillations. A fuzzy logic power system stabilizer (PSS) for stability enhancement of a multi-machine power system is also presented. To attain stability enhancement, speed deviation ($\Delta\omega$) and acceleration ($\Delta\varpi$) of the Kota Thermal synchronous generator rotor are taken as inputs to the fuzzy logic controller. These variables have significant effects on the damping of generator shaft mechanical oscillations. The stabilizing signals are computed using fuzzy membership functions that are dependent on these variables. The performance of the fuzzy logic PSS is compared with the open power system, after which the simulations are tested under different operating conditions and changes in reference voltage. The simulation results are quite encouraging and satisfactory. Similarly, the system is tested for the different defuzzification methods, and based on the results, the centroid method elicits the best possible system response.
