Research and development of energy self-consumption introducing photovoltaic and energy storage system at home is very active. This system can manage the home energy in which it charges the electricity generated during the day and uses it during high electricity bills. However, it not yet made up the residential real-time pricing in Korea but it can reduce electricity usage to a certain target on the progressive. In order to introduce the home photovoltaic, it requires PCS(Power Conditioning System). This converts the direct current into alternating current by the electricity generated and used to perform charging and discharging of the energy storage system. The market for self-consumption smart home system is currently increasing because the interests of the general public about solar power, energy storage systems increased. The result of this study is installed on the room environment and the effect was analyzed on the assumption of real-time pricing.

Development of high performance LTPS TFTs contributed to open up new SOP technology with various digital circuits integrated in display panels. This work introduces the current mode logic(CML) gate design method with which one can replace slow CMOS logic gates. The CML inverter exhibited small logic swing, fast response with high power consumption. But the power consumption became compatible with CMOS gates at higher clock speed. Due to small current values in CML, layout area is smaller than the CMOS counterpart even though CML uses larger number of devices. CML exhibited higher noise immunity thanks to its non-inverting and inverting outputs. Multi-input NAND/AND and NOR/OR gates were implemented by the same circuit architecture with different input confirugation. Same holds for MUX and XNOR/XOR CML gates. We concluded that the CML gates can be designed with few simple circuits and they can improve power consumption, chip area, and speed of operation.

Direct torque control based on space vector modulation (SVM-DTC) protects the DTC transient merits. Furthermore, it creates better quality steady-state performance in a wide speed range. The modified method of DTC using SVM improves the electrical magnitudes of asynchronous machines, such as minimizing the stator current distortions, the stator flux with electromagnetic torque without ripple, the fast response of the rotor speed, and the constant switching frequency. In this paper, the proposed method is based on two new control strategies for direct torque control with space vector modulation. First, fuzzy logic control is used instead of the PI torque and a PI flux controller to minimizing the torque error and to achieve a constant switching frequency. The voltages in the direct and quadratic reference frame ($V_d$, $V_q$) are achieved by fuzzy logic control. In this scheme, the switching capability of the inverter is fully utilized, which improves the system performance. Second, the close loop of stator flux estimation based on the voltage model and a low pass filter is used to counteract the drawbacks in the open loop of the stator flux such as the problems saturation and dc drift. The response of this new control strategy is compared with DTC-SVM. The experimental and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control topology outperforms the conventional DTC-SVM in terms of system robustness and eliminating the bad outcome of dc-offset.

Nowadays, industry of smart grid is important for practical use of the renewable energy. In this situation, it is important to use the energy storage to make more stable and efficient renewable energy sources. The power conditioning systems consist in a boost converter which makes renewable energy source connected with the grid-connected inverter and the charger/discharger which takes the energy transfer between the boost converter and an energy storage. The effects on the controller design of each converter must be investigated to avoid the instability of the entire system. small-signal modelling of the boost converter and charger/discharger have been done and a controller design example is also presented. In this paper, effects on the controller design of the boost converter and the charger/discharger are investigated according to the existence of the parasitic resistance of the boost converter. In conclusion, the parasitic resistance of the inductor should be considered from the aspect of both the frequency domain analysis and time domain simulation using both MATLAB and PSIM.

This paper describes the development of a powertrain for a 20 kW experimental electric vehicle using a surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) and its application to a test vehicle. Two 10 kW SPMSMs are used in the powertrain, and two-level inverters are developed by using IGBTs to derive these motors. To control the SPMSM, a control board based on a TMS320F28335 DSP module, which has fast arithmetic function and floating point operator, is used. We develop a 100 V/40 A battery pack, which includes $32{\times}4$ LiFePO4 battery cells using commercial BMS. A commercial on-board charger with 220 V (AC) input and 100 V (DC) and 18 A output is used to charge the battery pack. The performance of the developed vehicle, such as acceleration availability, maximum speed, and maximum power, is estimated based on vehicle dynamics and verified through experiments.

In wireless power transfer (WPT) system, the conventional compensation topologies only can provide a constant current (CC) or constant voltage (CV) output under their resonant conditions. It is difficult to meet the CC and CV hybrid charging requirements without any other schemes. In this study, a switching hybrid topology (SHT) is proposed for CC and CV electric vehicle (EV) battery charging. By utilizing an additional capacitor and two AC switches (ACSs), a double-side LCC (DS-LCC) and an inductor and double capacitors-series (LCC-S) topologies are combined. According to the specified CC and CV charging profile, the CC and CV charging modes can be flexibly converted by the two additional ACSs. In addition, zero phase angle (ZPA) also can be achieved in both charging modes. In this method, because the operating frequency is fixed, without using PWM control, and only a small number of devices are added, it has the benefits of low-cost, easy-controllability and high efficiency. A 3.3-kW experimental prototype is configured to verify the proposed switching hybrid charger. The maximum DC efficiencies (at 3.3-kW) of the proposed SHT is 92.58%.

A DC motor is an important driving source used in a wide range along with an induction motor. Although the structure is complex and has disadvantages in terms of maintenance, most of the demands are given to induction motors as a power source in the industry today, but due to its excellent control performance, DC motors are constantly being used as small-sized control motors. In addition, DC motors with a structure capable of high-power and high-efficiency operation are being developed with the development of magnetic materials as a structure capable of using a permanent magnet in a armature. In addition, the configuration of the controller is simpler than that of an induction motor using an inverter, and the demand for a DC motor is still not negligible, so it is still occupied as an important power source. Considering these trends, this paper attempts to investigate the control performance of DC motors through hardware implementation such as modeling through simulation, PWM generation circuit and electric motor circuit using EPLD, and PI control using processor.

In this study, in order to reduce energy that affects the natural environment, a moving iron core type welding machine and a digital welding machine (inverter type) with low power consumption are compared in shielded arc welding, and the parts that use less power and have the same weldability conditions are identified. want to check. The movable iron core welder uses alternating current that outputs a sine wave, and the digital welder also generates a sine wave alternating current, so it must have the same conditions, low power consumption, and the same weldability. However, weldability can be verified in various ways, but the analysis is limited to the qualification test in the field of national technical qualification welding.

In this paper, a low-power 1Kb synchronous EEPROM is designed with flash cells for passive UHF RFID tag chips. To make a low-power EEPROM, four techniques are newly proposed. Firstly, dual power supply voltages VDD(1.5V) and VDDP(2.5V), are used. Secondly, CKE signal is used to remove switching current due to clocking of synchronous circuits. Thirdly, a low-speed but low-power sensing scheme using clocked inverters is used instead of the conventional current sensing method. Lastly, the low-voltage, VDD for the reference voltage generator is supplied by using the Voltage-up converter in write cycle. An EEPROM is fabricated with the $0.25{\mu}m$ EEPROM process. Simulation results show that power dissipations are $4.25{\mu}W$ in the read cycle and $25{\mu}W$ in the write cycle, respectively. The layout area is $646.3\times657.68{\mu}m^2$.
