The study on the multi-level inverter has been increasingly progressing to reduce the switching loss and improve the THD of output current in photovoltaic inverter. Recently, the main topics of multi-level inverter are to reduce the number of devices maintaining the power quality. Therefore, the novel topology was proposed for these problem which is composed of the isolated H-bridge multi-level inverter using the three phase low frequency transformer. The proposed multi-level inverter may not be need for a independent DC power, diode and capacitor. Specially, It has a advantage in generating high voltage source. The proposed approach is verified through simulation and experiment.

This paper presents a new adaptive converter control approach for electric motor systems whose voltage source is excited from photovoltaic (PV) power generators. First, an electric model is represented with dynamic states and output velocity of such DC motor systems. We propose a hybrid converter control law in which a state feedback control is applied as an auxiliary control framework. Moreover, control parameter estimation is derived to realize adaptive converter systems for effective control performance against stochastic PV power excitation in practice. We carry out stability analysis for such converter system by using a well-known eigenvalue theory. Lastly, numerical simulation is conducted to test reliability of the proposed converter control approach and prove its superiority in the control point of view.

A DC-DC Non-Isolated Three-Port Cuk-Cuk (NI-TPCC) converter for interfacing renewable energy sources (RESs) such as Fuel Cell (FC) and Photovoltaic (PV) energy with a DC load is presented in this paper. It features single-stage power conversion from both of the input ports to the load port. The proposed NI-TPCC converter is designed based on the classical Cuk converter. The operational modes and power flow are analyzed in the continuous conduction mode (CCM), and the relationships among the port voltages are derived. Continuous currents in all three ports with less ripple enhance the performance of a fuel cell and its operating life. Furthermore, the output inductor is shared with both of the input ports, which reduces the number of active and passive components. The effectiveness of the designed NI-TPCC converter has been validated through simulation and experimental results.

The rising popularity of renewable energy sources resulted in development of the units of higher rated powers. As a result of the limited power handling capacity of individual devices, paralleling is the choice to increase the equipment rating, while keeping the THD of the current at the PCC within the agency specified standards. And their typical power circuit configuration limits the stress on individual devices to an appreciable extent. The main scope of this paper is the analysis of filter structure in paralleling inverter system's operation. Simulation results are shown to verify the theoretical analysis.

태양광 모듈은 필요한 발전량을 얻기 위해 태양 전지를 직렬과 병렬로 조합하여 구성하며, 이 모듈은 일사량 및 온도에 따라 발전성능이 크게 좌우되는 특성을 가지고 있다. 또한, 태양광 전원은 건물 또는 나무 등의 주변 환경에 의한 음영과 같은 특수한 상황에 의하여 출력손실이 발생하게 된다. 즉 태양광 전원을 구성하는 태양광 모듈 일부에 부분음영이 발생할 경우, 태양광 모듈의 단락전류가 제한되어 전체 발전량 손실을 초래하고, 열점(Hot-Spot) 현상과 같은 열화현상이 발생하여 모듈의 수명을 단축시킨다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 태양광 모듈의 출력을 향상시키기 위한 태양전지와 바이패스 다이오드의 최적구성 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 또한, 부분 음영에 의한 출력손실을 최소화하기 위하여 태양광 어레이의 회로를 최적으로 구성하는 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 상기 알고리즘을 바탕으로 회로해석 프로그램인 PSIM S/W를 이용하여 태양광 모듈과 태양광 어레이를 모델링하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 본 논문에서 제안한 태양 전지와 바이패스 다이오드의 최적구성 알고리즘과 태양광 어레이의 최적구성 알고리즘이 태양광 전원의 성능 향상에 유용함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a improved control technique to overcome disadvantage when the inductor current of boost converter in PV system becomes DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode) due to the low insolation. MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) output reference voltage could not be exactly followed by conventional dual-loop PI control method used typically because of the error between the actual current and measured current. Therefore, in this paper, Hybrid controller that changes the control method in DCM and CCM(Continuous Conduction Mode), and single state feedback controller are used to compensate that problem. The proposed control technique was verified by simulation using PSIM 9.0 and experiments.

In this paper, dc-link voltage control of a grid-connected QZSI is presented. Since the input current of the ZSI is discontinuous, a capacity with relatively large capacitance should be connected to the output of the PV array in order to reduce the current ripple. Due to the presence of the impedance network inductor in series with the PV array, the QZSI can achieve continuous input current flow. Several dc-link voltage control methods are compared and the method for power quality improvement is also presented. The performance of the proposed method is verified through both simulation and experimental results.

An adaptive maximum power point tracking (MPPT) scheme employing a variable scaling factor is presented. A MPPT control loop was constructed analytically and the magnitude variation in the MPPT loop gain according to the operating point of the PV array was identified due to the nonlinear characteristics of the PV array output. To make the crossover frequency of the MPPT loop gain consistent, the variable scaling factor was determined using an approximate curve-fitted polynomial equation about linear expression of the error. Therefore, a desirable dynamic response and the stability of the MPPT scheme were maintained across the entire MPPT voltage range. The simulation and experimental results obtained from a 3 KW rated prototype demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed MPPT scheme.

최근, 전 세계적으로 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 증가됨에 따라 친환경적이고 무한한 태양에너지를 이용하는 태양광전원의 설치가 급증하고 있다. 이러한 태양광전원은 주변 환경에 따라 출력이 크게 좌우되는데, 예를 들어 구름 또는 건물의 음영으로 인한 일부 모듈의 문제로 인해서 해당 스트링이 출력을 발생하지 못할 수 있다. 즉 기존의 제어방식에서는 모듈이 직렬로 연결된 스트링이 인버터에 연계되어 있으므로, 일부 모듈에 음영이 발생할 경우 스트링의 전압이 인버터의 동작전압 미만으로 되어 해당 스트링이 인버터에서 탈락되는 문제점이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 각각의 스트링마다 전압을 제어하는 DC-DC 전압 레귤레이터를 이용하여, 스트링이 인버터에서 탈락되는 문제점을 개선하는 새로운 태양광전원 제어방식을 제안하였다. 또한, 회로해석 상용 프로그램인 PSIM S/W를 이용하여, 정전압 제어 및 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 제어기능을 가지는 DC-DC 전압 레귤레이터와 위상동기루프(PLL, Phase-Locked Loop) 제어 기반의 3상 인버터의 모델링을 수행하였다. 이 모델링을 바탕으로 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 부분적으로 음영이 발생하는 모듈을 가진 스트링이 인버터에서 탈락하는 현상을 개선함으로써 태양광전원의 운용효율이 향상됨을 확인하였다.
