This paper presents the design, development and performance of a power conditioning system (PCS) for application to a 250kW Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) generation system. A DSP controller was used to control the dc-dc and dc-ac converter operation for grid connection and power injection to the grid. The controller must also supervise the total PCS operation while communicating with the fuel cell system controller. A control method for parallel operation of dc-dc converters was proposed and verified. A 250kW prototype was successfully built and tested. Experimental performances are compared to minimum target requirements of the PCS for MCFC.

In this paper, the performance analysis of condensation and evaporation capacity, turbine work and efficiency of the OTEC power system using vapor-liquid Ejector is presented to offer the basic design data for the operating parameters of the system. The working fluid used in this system is $CO_2$. The operating parameters considered in this study include the vapor quality at heat exchanger outlet, pressure ratio of ejector and inlet pressure of low turbine, mass flow ratio of separator at condenser outlet. The main results were summarized as follows. The efficiency of the OTEC power cycle has an enormous effect on the mass flow ratio of separator at condenser outlet. With a thorough grasp of these effects, it is possible to design the OTEC power cycle proposed in this study.

This paper proposes a new power conditioning system for the fuel cell power generation, which consists of a LLC resonant DC-DC converter and 3-phase inverter. The LLC resonant converter boosts the fuel cell voltage of 26-48V up to 400V, using the hard-switching boost converter and the high-frequency ZVS half-bridge converter. The operation of proposed power conditioning system was verified through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. The feasibility of hardware implementation was verified through experimental works with a laboratory prototype, which was built with 1.2kW PEM fuel-cell stack, 1kW LLC resonant converter, and 3kW PWM inverter. The proposed system can be utilized to commercialize a real interconnection system for the fuel-cell power generation.

Islanding phenomenon of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power conditioning system (PCS) is said to occur if the PCS continues to power a section of the utility system after that section has been disconnected from the utility source. Since islanding creates hazards for personnel and equipment, PCSs are required to detect and prevent Et. In this paper, several islanding detection methods (IDMs) and reactive power variation method are described. Islanding test results for 9kW PCS are presented for verification.

This paper presents a diagnosis method for the detection and location of open-short switch faults in the three-phase power conditioning system. A method for switch fault diagnosis on the power conditioning system is proposed, based on the concordia transform. The switch fault types and locations on power conditioning system are diagnosed by a method in which analyze the d-q current vector locus and current pattern. The Simulation results confirm the proposed diagnostic method.

In this paper, we propose a design for an efficient hybrid LED street lighting management system using standalone solar photovoltaic. The proposed efficient hybrid LED street lighting management system was composed of hybrid power conditioning system, gateways, LED street lights and a monitoring server. The hybrid power conditioning system was designed to charge produced power by solar photovoltaic panels in day time, and supply power to the LED street lights in night time. If there is insufficient power, the system was designed to operate using firm power, because the system utilizes photovoltaic power. A system control algorithm allied to the lighting management system, and experimented by being configured to the functions that are able to perform real-time monitoring and remote control through the lighting management system even when absent. In the result of the efficiency analysis of the hybrid lighting management system proposed in this paper, we were able to increase the energy efficiency compared to existing lighting control systems by reducing power consumption and electricity costs.

일반적으로 벅 컨버터 제어기는 컨버터의 출력 전압을 제어하도록 설계하지만, 태양광발전시스템에서의 벅 컨버터 제어기는 설계 방식을 달리 구분해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking)을 위하여 벅 컨버터의 입력 전압(태양광전지의 출력 전압)을 제어한다고 가정하였다. 또한, 컨버터의 입력 전압을 제어하기 위한 새로운 벅 컨버터 모델을 제시한다. 이 컨버터 모델은 최대전력점(MPP)에서 동작점을 두어 선형화한 태양광전지의 모델을 포함하며, 모델의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 대신호와 소신호로 나누어 분석한다. 또한 일반적인 선형제어기를 설계하였을 때, 제어 가능성을 분석하여 검증한다.

스마트 그리드를 구성하는 기본 단위 요소인 마이크로그리드(Microgrid)는 전력의 중앙 공급방식에서 벗어나 독립된 하나의 체계를 이룬다. 본 논문은 전력변환장치(Power Conditioning System)를 기반으로 마이크로그리드를 계통으로부터 전기적으로 독립시키고, 신재생 에너지원과 에너지 저장장치(Energy Storage System) 등의 분산자원(Distributed Energy Resource)을 활용하여 효과적으로 독립 상태를 유지하고 운영할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 계통의 위상검출과 동기화를 통해 계통에 연계하거나 독립 시에 부하에 미치는 영향을 최소화할 뿐만 아니라 계통의 정전 상황에서도 안정적으로 운영이 가능하다.

In this paper, a simple control method for two-stage utility grid-connected photovoltaic power conditioning systems (PCS) is proposed. This approach enables maximum power point (MPP) tracking control with post-stage inverter current information instead of calculating solar array power, which significantly simplifies the controller and the sensor. Furthermore, there is no feedback loop in the pre-stage converter to control the solar array voltage or current because the MPP tracker drives the converter switch duty cycle. This simple PCS control strategy can reduce the cost and size, and can be utilized with a low cost digital processor. For verification of the proposed control strategy, a 2.5kW two-stage photovoltaic grid-connected PCS hardware which consists of a boost converter cascaded with a single-phase inverter was built and tested.
