This paper focuses on the control of bidirectional power flow in the electric shipboard power systems, especially in the Medium-Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) shipboard power system. Bidirectional power control between the main MVDC bus and the local zones can improve the energy efficiency and control flexibility of electric ship systems. However, since the MVDC system contains various nonlinear loads such as pulsed power load and radar in various subsystems, the voltage of the MVDC and the local zones varies significantly. This voltage variation affects the control performance of the bidirectional DC-DC converters as exogenous disturbances. To improve the control performance regardless of uncertainties and disturbances, this paper proposes a novel controller design method of the bidirectional DC-DC converters using $L_1$ control theory and intelligent optimization algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is verified via large-scale real-time digital simulation of a notional shipboard MVDC power system.

Web presence is one of the key issues for extensive deployment of Internet-of-Things (IoT). An obstacle to overcome for Web presence is relatively low computing power of IoT devices. In this paper, we present implementation of an IoT platform based on Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) which is a web transfer protocol proposed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for the low performance IoT devices such as Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) nodes and micro-controllers. To qualify the performance of CoAP-based IoT system for such an application as smart grid, we designed a test platform consisting of Raspberry Pi2, Kmote WSN node and a desktop PC. Using open source softwares, CoAP was implemented on top of the platform. Leveraging the GET command defined at CoAP specification, performance of the system was measured in terms of round-trip time (RTT) from web application to the Kmote sensor node. To investigate abnormal cases among the test results, hop-by-hop delays were measured to analyze resulting data. The average response time of CoAP-based communication except the abnormal data was reduced by 23% smaller than the previous research result.

Distributed generation(DG) of combined cooling, heat. and power(CCHP)has been gaining momentum in recent year as efficient, secure alternative for meeting increasing energy demands. This paper presents the energy performance of microturbine CCHP system equipped with an absorption chiller by modelling it in hospital building. The orders of study were as following. 1)The list and schedule of energy consumption equipment in hospital were examined such as heating and cooling machine, light etc. 2) Annual report of energy usage and monitoring data were examined as heating, cooling, DHW, lighting, etc. 3) The weather data in 2007 was used for simulation and was arranged by meteorological office data in Daejeon. 4) Reference simulation model was built by comparison of real energy consumption and simulation result by TRNSYS and ESP-r. The energy consumption pattern of building were analyzed by simulation model and energy reduction rate were calculated over the cogeneration. As a result of this study, power generation efficiency of turbine was about 30% after installing micro gas turbine and lighting energy as well as total electricity consumption can be reduced by 40%. If electricity energy and waste heat in turbine are used, 56% of heating energy and 67% of cooling energy can be reduced respectively, and total system efficiency can be increased up to 70%.

국내전력수요의 지속적인 성장과 더불어 전력산업의 대용량화, 고밀도화에 따른 친환경 고신뢰도의 전력계통 구성을 위하여 친환경 녹색기술의 초전도케이블이 실증시험을 통한 실계통 적용 사업이 이천변전소에서 정부지원으로 한전전력공사 주관으로 진행되고 있다. 그래서 향후 초전도 케이블이 실계통에 연계한 계통이 운용되는 것을 고려해야 하기 때문에 기존 전력기기와 협조하여 운영되기 위해서는 계통영향 분석이 필요하다. 특히 초전도케이블은 초전도성이라는 물리적인 특성 때문에 기존 계통해석과정과는 다른 계통 과도현상의 모델링이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 초전도케이블의 실계통 적용을 위해서 이천변전소에 시범 적용된 22.9kV 50MVA 500m 초전도케이블 계통을 대상으로 열적특성을 분석하고 안정적인 대규모 전력전송을 위해서 초전도 케이블을 열적특성으로부터 보호하기 위한 열동계전기(Thermal Protection Relay)의 운영방법과 적용방안을 소개하고자 한다. 향후 대용량 초전도케이블의 실계통 적용 확대를 고려한 열동계전기의 운영방법과 적용방안도 제시하고자 한다.

국내 전력수요의 지속적인 성장과 더불어 안정적이고 신뢰성있는 전력계통 운영은 매우 중요한 일이다. 1970년대 이후 대도시를 중심으로 지중 송전에 대한 사회적 요구가 커지면서, 매년 국내 전력시스템에서 지중 송전선로 건설 및 운영이 매우 빠르게 진행되어 왔다. 그래서 지중 케이블의 고장으로 인한 사회적 영향 및 파장이 매우 커지고 있는 실정이다. 특히 지중케이블의 특성상 고장복구에 필요한 시간과 돈은 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. 그래서 국내 지중 및 해저 송전선로에서는 신속한 고장복구를 위한 빠르고 정확한 고장점 탐지가 매우 중요하게 되었다. 특히 국내 지중송전선로 시스템에서 채용하고 있는 크로스본딩 시스템은 현재 국내외적으로 고장점 탐지를 위해 사용하고 있는 레이더의 원리를 이용한 TDR(Time Domain Reflectrometer) 방법으로는 크로스본딩점에서 발생된 임피던스 변화로 인하여 신속하고 정확한 고장점 탐지에 어려움을 주고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내 지중송전케이블에서 채용하고 있는 크로스본딩 시스템에서도 TDR을 이용하여 신속 정확한 고장점 탐지를 가능하게 할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 실계통에서의 실증시험 결과를 보여주고자 한다.

최근 분산전원 시스템들이 가정이나 공공기관 등에 많이 설치되면서 계통에 많은 문제점을 일으키고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 연구하기 위해서는 계통 등의 실제 시스템을 설치하여 실험을 하여야 하는데 학교 연구실 입장에서는 실제 시스템을 설치하여 실험하는데 한계가 있다. 그러나 실시간 전력 계통 모의장치 (Real Time Digital Simulator)를 이용하여 실시간으로 시스템을 시뮬레이션 할 경우 다양한 알고리즘의 적용이 가능하고, 고장, 전력계통 과도현상 등 계통에 일어날 수 있는 여러 가지 상황을 손쉽게 고려해 보는 것이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 RTDS 내 계통 연계형 태양광 발전시스템을 실제 시스템과 유사하게 모델링하고, 실제 DSP (Digital Signal Processor) 를 이용하여 시스템을 실시간으로 운전하는 HILS (Hardware In the Loop System) 시스템을 구성하였다.

Power conversion systems used in large gas turbine power plant can be divided into two main part. Because of the initial start-up characteristic of the gas turbine combustor, the gas turbine must be accelerated by starting device(LCI : Load Commutated Inverter) up to 10%~20% of rated speed to ignite it. In addition, the ECS(Excitation Control system) is used to control the rotor field current and reactive power in grid-connected synchronous generator. These two large power conversion systems are located in the same space(container) because of coordination control. Recently, many manufactures develop high speed controller based on function block available in the LCI and ECS with the newest power semiconductor. We also developed high speed controller based on function block to be using these two system and it meets the international standard IEC61131 as using real-time OS(VxWorks) and ISaGRAF. In order to install easily these systems at power plant, main controller, special module and IO module are used with high speed communication line other than electric wire line. Before initial product is installed on the site, prototype is produced and tests are conducted for it. The performance results of Integrated controller and application program(SFC, ECS) were described in this paper. The test results will be considered as the important resources for the application in future.

In this paper, vibration reduction techniques of a voice coil motor (VCM) actuator are presented for AFM imaging system. The damping coefficient of the actuator driven by VCM with a flexure hinge is quite low and it cause the about 30dB peak amplitude response at the resonance frequency. To decrease this peak response, we design and apply elliptical band-stop filters to xy and z axis VCM actuator. Frequency response of each actuator with filter is measured to verify the effect of the filters. As a sensor, capacitive sensor is used. Vibration reduction rate of the xy actuator with the filter is also measured while real AFM scanning condition. As another method, closed loop control with the capacitive sensor is applied to the xy axis actuator to add an electrical damping effect and vibration reduction rate measured. These vibration reduction rates with each method are compared. In the case of z axis actuator, the frequency response of force (gap) control loop is measured. For comparison, the frequency response using a conventional PID controller is also obtained. Finally, the AFM image of a standard grid sample is measured with the designed controller to analyze the effect in the AFM imaging.
