  • 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.

  • IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) device is a device with excellent current conducting capability, it is widely used as a switching device power supplies, converters, solar inverter, household appliances or the like, designed to handle the large power. This research was proposed 1200 class dual gate IGBT for electrical vehicle. To compare the electrical characteristics, The planar gate IGBT and trench gate IGBT was designd with same design and process parameters. And we carried to compare electrical characteristics about three devices. As a result of analyzing electrical characteristics, The on state voltage drop charateristics of dual gate IGBT was superior to those of planar IGBT and trench IGBT. Therefore, Aspect to Energy Loss, dual gate IGBT was efficiency. The breakdown volgate and threshold voltage of planar, trench and dual gate IGBT were 1460V and 4V.

  • Korea has the characteristics of traditional power system such as large-scale power generation and large-scale power transmission systems, including 20 GW large-scale power generation complexes in several regions with unit generator capacity exceeding 1.4 GW, 2-3 ultra-high-voltage transmission lines that transport power from large-scale power generation complexes, and 6 ultra-high-voltage transmission lines that transport power from non-metropolitan areas to the metropolitan area. Due to the characteristics of the power system, the penetration level for renewable energy is low, but due to frequency stability issue, some generators are reducing the output of generators. In the future, the issue of maintaining the stability of the power system is expected to emerge as the most important issue in accordance with the policy of expanding renewable energy. When non-inertial inverter-based renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, surges rapidly, the means to improve the power system stability in an independent system is to install a natural inertial resource synchronous condenser (SC) and a virtual inertial resource BESS in the system. In this study, we analyzed the effect of renewable energy on power system stability and the BESS effect to maintain the minimum frequency through a power system simulation. It was confirmed that the BESS effect according to the power generation constraint capacity reached a maximum of 122.81 %.
