In this paper, the problem of voltage unbalancing in series-connected multiple electric double-layer capacitors(EDLCs) is studied. Good understanding of this problem is required in order to increase reliability and stability of an energy storage system comprising EDLCs. Existing methods to settle voltage unbalancing cannot mitigate the problem enough for each cell, since most method have been applied to each module. For equalizing between cells, Zener diode which is one of passive method have been well examined in literature. However, Zener have well not used in balancing due to heating problem. In addition, It is difficult to choose Zener diode fitted rating voltage of EDLC, because of its internal resistance. Thus, we proposed passive balancing using Zener diode by analyzing parasitic element of Zener and EDLC. To experimentally confirm the balancing effect, we compared in two occasions which are with and without passive. As a result, proposed passive balancing circuit mitigated unbalanced voltage gap between EDLCs.

This paper presents the analysis, the fabrication and the test results of a micro passive gas pressure regulator to keep the outlet pressure costant even for a widely-varying inlet pressure. This device is to regulate the outlet pressure according to the applied reference pressure based on the pressure balancing mechanism of the structure including a membrane and a valve. This regulator consists of four layers; a bulk-micromachined silicon substrate, a sandblasted glass substrate, a PDMS valve seat layer and a glass valve layer. The device size is $10\times13\times1.7 mm3$. The device was fabricated by micromachining. The characteristic of the device was analyzed and tested. The characteristic of the fabricated pressure regulator is similar to that obtained from the analysis. The pressure regulator of this paper is feasible for portable systems and miniature drug delivery systems.

리튬 폴리머 배터리는 높은 안전성, 빠른 충전 및 긴 라이프 사이클 등으로 인해 에너지 저장치(ESS: Energy Storage System), 전기자동차(EVs: Electric Vehicles)등에 채택이 되어 사용되고 있으며, 그리고 현재는 농업용 드론에서 까지 사용이 되고 있다. 그러나 리튬 폴리머 배터리는 과충 방전에는 리튬-이온 배터리 내의 격차구조가 파괴되어 배터리 수명이 줄어들게 되며, 과충 방전을 방지하기 위해 불균등한 셀 전압을 균등 제어 할 수 있는 셀 밸런싱 시스템이 필수적이다. 본 논문은 각 셀의 충 방전할때의 전압차이를 검출하여 불균형된 셀을 확인하여 비선형 시스템에 적합한 퍼지 제어기를 개발하여 적용한 셀별 밸런싱 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문은 농업용 드론의 배터리팩의 셀 밸런싱을 퍼지제어를 하여 셀 간 균등 제어를 위해 설계하였으며, 최종 결과로 셀 간 밸런싱이 잘 되는지 확인하고 자 셀이 2개 있을 때와 6개 그리고 최종적으로 12개의 각 셀 밸런싱이 되는지를 확인하였다. 이는 다른 제품에도 사용할 수 있는지를 실험하고자 하였으며, 확인결과 사용된 셀의 개수와는 관계없이 셀별 밸런싱이 잘 되고 있음을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 그리드 데이터베이스에서의 부하 분산 문제를 복제 데이터 간 메쉬 연결 구조를 이용하여 해결한다. 그리드 데이터베이스의 데이터는 성능 향상을 위해 여러 노드에 복제 저장되어 있다. 따라서 사용자 질의는 목적 데이터를 포함하는 노드들의 작업 부하를 평가하여 노드를 선택함으로써 구성 노드들 간의 부하를 분산하여야 한다. 기존의 기법은 노드의 작업 부하가 한계를 넘게 되었을 때 다른 연결 노드를 선택하여 질의를 처리하게 하는 수동적 부하 분산 기법을 사용하기 때문에 노드의 수가 많고 질의가 유동적인 그리드 데이터베이스에 적용하기에는 비효율적이다. 제안 기법은 각각의 동일 복제본이 포함된 노드들을 하나의 메쉬 구조로 연결하여 사용자 질의가 발생하였을 때 연결 노드 중 부하가 가장 적은 노드를 선택하여 질의 처리를 할 수 있도록 한다. 제안 기법은 성능 평가를 통해 기존의 기법보다 향상된 성능을 가짐을 보였다.

Recently, the demand for low-voltage, high-capacity ESS is rapidly increasing due to the revitalization of the e-mobility industry, which is mainly powered by electricity. In addition, the demand for portable power banks is rapidly increasing due to the revitalization of leisure industries such as camping and fishing. The ESS with this structure consists of a small number of series cells and many parallel cells, resulting in a system with a large rated current. Therefore, the number of power devices for cell balancing configured in series is small, but a balancing device with a large current capacity is required. Construction of a constant temperature device in such a low-voltage, high-current ESS is difficult due to economic issues. The demand for an active balancing system that can solve the passive balancing heating problem is rapidly increasing. In this paper, propose a power feedback fly-back topology that can solve the balancing heating problem. The characteristic of the proposed topology is that a series-connected voltage sharing voltage is used as the input of the flyback converter, and the converter output is connected to one transformer. In this structure, the converter output for cell voltage balancing shares magnetic flux through one high-frequency transformer, so the cell voltage connected to the converter automatically converges to the same voltage.

To increase the capacity of secondary cells, an appropriate serial composition of the battery modules is essential. The unbalance that may occur due to the series connection in such a serial composition is the main cause for declines in the efficiency and performance of batteries. Various studies have been conducted on the use of a passive or active topology to eliminate the unbalance from the series circuit of battery modules. Most topologies consist of a complex structure in which the Battery Management System (BMS) detects the voltage of each module and establishes the voltage balancing in the independent electrical power converters installed on each module by comparing the module voltage. This study proposes a new magnetic flux sharing type DC/DC converter topology in order to remove voltage unbalances from batteries. The proposed topology is characterized by a design in which all of the DC/DC convertor outputs connected to the modules converge into a single transformer. In this structure, by taking a form in which all of the battery balancing type converters share magnetic flux through a single harmonic wave transformer, all of the converter voltages automatically converge to the same voltage. This paper attempts to analyze the dynamic properties of the proposed circuit by using a Programmable Synthesizer Interface Module (PSIM), which is useful for power electronics analysis, while also attempting to demonstrate the validity of the proposed circuit through experimental results.

A single-stage current-balancing multi-channel light-emitting diode (LED) driver is proposed in this study. The conventional LED driver system consists of two cascaded power conversion stages, i.e., an isolation DC/DC converter and LED driver. LED driver is usually implemented with the same number of expensive boost converters as those of LED channels to tightly control the current through each LED channel. Therefore, its overall system size is not only bulky, but the cost is rather high. By contrast, the proposed LED driver system is composed of a single power stage with the DC/DC converter and LED driver merged. Although the current balancing circuit of the proposed LED driver requires only passive devices instead of expensive boost converters, all currents through multi-channel LEDs can be well balanced. Therefore, the proposed LED driver features a small system size, improved efficiency, and low cost. To confirm the validity of the proposed driver, its operation and performance are verified on a prototype for a 46" LED TV.

This study presents a new portable eight-output light emitting diode (LED) driver. The eight output-channels are divided into two equal groups, and their output powers can be controlled individually by three active switches. In addition, a simple capacitor-based passive current balancing circuit (CBC) is employed in each port to guarantee that the currents of the four LEDs are the same. When compared with the conventionally used separate two-output isolated converters, the proposed one uses one less active switch. Moreover, zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) is achieved, which improves the power efficiency of the driver. Finally, a highly compact prototype is built, which can reach an efficiency of 94.6%.
