Recent developments in power electronics technology have spurred interest in the use of renewable energy sources as distributed generation (DG) generators. The key component in DG generators is a grid-connected inverter that serves as an effective interface between the renewable energy source and the utility grid. The multifunctional inverter (MFI) is special type of grid-connected inverter that has elicited much attention in recent years. MFIs not only generate power for DGs but also provide increased functionality through improved power quality and voltage and reactive power support; thus, the capability of the auxiliary service for the utility grid is improved. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the various MFI system configurations for single-phase (two-wire) and three-phase (three- or four-wire) systems and control strategies for the compensation of different power quality problems. The advances in practical applications and recent research on MFIs are presented through a review of nearly 200 papers.

In this paper, a prototype of an active auxiliary quasi-resonant DC link (QRDCL) snubber assisted voltage source bidirectional power converter (AC to DC and DC to AC) operating at zero voltage soft-switching (BVS) PWM nlode is presented for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The operating principle of this QRDCL circuit and multifunctional control-based converter system, including PWM inverter mode in which energy flows from the battery bank to the three-phase utility-grid in addition to an active PWM converter mode in which energy flows from the utility-grid to the battery banks are described respectively by the control implementation on the basis of d-q coordinate plane transformation. The multifunctional operation characteristics of this three-phase ZVS PWM bi-directional converter with QRDCL is demonstrated fer a BESS under the power conditioning and processing schemes of energy supply mode and energy storage mode, and compared with a conventional three-phase hard switching PWM bi-directional converter for a BESS. The effectiveness of the three-phase ZVS PWM hi-directional converter with QRDCL is proven via the simulation analysis.

본 논문에서는 비정상적인 과도상태에서의 개선된 해상 전투체계 UPS(Uninterruptable Power Supply) 시스템을 다룬다. 기존에는 일시적인 과전압 및 과전류에 대응하기 위하여 서미스터와 바리스터 소자를 사용하고 있지만 시스템 운용 중에 발생하는 비정상 과도전압에는 취약하므로 UPS가 비가용 상태로 되는 경우가 빈번히 발생하였다. 이를 극복하고 UPS 시스템을 보호하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 초기 입력전원 및 운용 중에 발생되는 비정상 과도전압을 감지한 입력 전원 차단회로, 전원제어 시퀀스 개선, 그리고 인버터 및 CPU 오동작 방지 방법 등을 제안한다. 제안된 방법으로 UPS 구현된 시스템은 Programmable AC/DC 발생기를 이용하여 입력전원 가변 시험을 통하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 최종적으로 해상 전투체계의 다기능콘솔에 장착하여 현장시험을 통하여 신뢰성과 안정성을 검증하였다.
