In this paper, we propose to study the possibility of using a photovoltaic system combined with a high speed micro-turbine. This hybrid system can work as stand-alone system or grid connected system as it will be a part of a micro-grid. Initially, we propose Matlab/Simulink dynamic models of photovoltaic, micro turbine systems and supercapacitor. Then, we carry out a simulation comparison of the two systems, this is, with supercapacitor and without supercapacitor bank. We show that supercapacitor bank as short-term storage device was necessary to reduce the fast fluctuation of power in the case of sensitive loads. It is verified the simulation results of Matlab/Simulink based hybrid power system represent the effectiveness of the suggested hybrid power system.

This paper proposes a high-efficiency supercapacitor charger. Conventional two-switch forward converter can be used for charging supercapacitors. However, the efficiency of conventional converters is low because of their switching losses. This study presents a high-efficiency two-switch forward converter for supercapacitor chargers. The proposed converter improves power efficiency by 4 %, from 89 % to 93 %. The proposed converter has the advantages of reduced switch voltage stresses and minimized circulating current when compared to other converter topologies. The performance of the proposed converter is evaluated by experimental results using a 300 W prototype circuit for a 54-V, 35-F supercapacitor bank.

In this paper, we propose to research the dynamic Matlab/Simulink model of supercapacitor bank(SCB) for a microgrid application. We demonstrated that this model id sufficient to design the control system of entire power storage system, SCB, the chopper and grid connected converter. The proposed dynamic model is simulated with the help of Matlab/$Simulink^{TK}$ in the MTG/PC/SCB hybrid energy system. The study results show that SCB have a good performance to curb power fluctuation in building microgrid application.

The available power generated from the FC power plant may not be sufficient to meet sustained load demand, peak demand or transient events. An supercapacitor bank(SCB) can supply a large burst of power, but it cannot store a significant amount of energy. The combined use of FC and SCB has the potential for the better energy efficiency, reducing the cost of FC technology and improved dynamic response. In this paper, A single PEMFC and PEMFC operated in parallel with a SC bank are presented, A new dynamic model of PEMFC system, the converter and controller has been developed for stand-alone applications. The simulation results are presented using Matlab/Simulink, and SimPowerSystems environments. It is confirmed that the results show a good performance and stable DC-link voltage for proposed dynamic and mathematical models developed for the combined FC/SCB.

In this paper, we propose to research the possibility of using a photovoltaic system and supercapacitor combined with a high speed microturbine. This hybrid energy system work as atand-alone mode or grid-connected mode as it will be a part of building micro-grid. Simple dynamic models of photovoltaic, microturbine systems and supercapacitor banks are proposed. their models are developed by Matlab/Simulink tool. Two important results are carried out to find power control effectiveness in case of with supercapacitor bank and without one. At least, simulation results show the effectiveness on the power control at AC busbar of hybrid energy system as building micro-grid system.

In this paper, a method to cope with short-term blackout is proposed. The proposed method uses a capacitor bank consisting of supercapacitors. A supercapacitor is a good means for short-term energy storage. The proposed circuit is simple and accordingly easy to construct and to control. A prototype is constructed and experimental results are presented.

Economic and environmental concerns over fossil fuels encourage the development of photovoltaic(PV) energy systems. Due to the intermittent nature of solar energy. energy storage is needed in a stand-alone PV system for the purpose of ensuring continuous power flow. Grid-connected PV system that supply power in a critical load demand require to curb power fluctuation. In this case. SCB is a effectiveness in controlling power variation due to intrinsic PV system. We propose the Matlab/Simulink dynamic model and power flow characteristics of a hybrid energy system with PV and SCB.

본 논문에서는 수퍼커패시터 에너지 저장장치의 DC링크 커패시터뱅크 커패시턴스 추정에 관하여 기술한다. DC링크 커패시터뱅크에 임의의 주파수성분의 전류를 주입하여 생성되는 전압과 전류의 AC성분의 관계로 커패시턴스를 추정하였다. 제안한 방법은 온라인으로 실시간 추정이 가능하며, BPF(Band Pass Filter)를 구성하여 동일한 주파수 신호를 추출하여 커패시턴스를 추정한다. 100%, 110% 계통전압에서도 커패시턴스의 평균 값은 2.03F과 2F으로 나타났고, 분산은 0.0005와 0.0001로 나타나 동일한 추정 값이 연속해서 계산되어 타당성을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 재귀최소자승법을 이용한 수퍼커패시터 뱅크의 실시간 커패시턴스 추정방법에 대해 서술하였으며, 커패시터의 수명은 초기용량에서 약 25%가 감소한 경우 수명을 다했다고 판단한다. 수명을 다한 커패시터를 사용할 경우 시스템의 성능과 안전을 보장할 수 없으므로 커패시터를 교체할 적절한 시기를 판단하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 재귀최소자승법으로 수퍼커패시터 뱅크의 커패시턴스를 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였고, 이를 시뮬레이션을 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.
