This study proposes a power decoupled multi-port dual-active-bridge (DAB) DC-DC converter employing multiple transformers. Conventional multiport DAB DC-DC converters experience a power coupling issue from the use of a single transformer, which essentially requires complex power decoupling control. To solve this issue, a multiport DAB DC-DC converter employing multiple transformers is proposed to decouple output power without additional complex control algorithms. The proposed converter uses multiple transformers that can expand output ports easily. Therefore, transformers and the proposed multi-port DAB converter can be designed simply. In addition, the number of coupling inductors can be reduced in the proposed three-port DAB converter compared with that in conventional multiport DAB converters. The power decoupling characteristics and equivalent circuit of the proposed converter are analyzed using theoretical model approaches. Finally, a 3-kW laboratory prototype is developed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

형광등용 전자식 안정기의 개발에 있어서, 최근 선전류 고조파 성분의 제한에 관한 여러 가지 규제를 만족시키기 위해 역률 개선 회로를 부가하는 것이 권장되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 자려식 전류원 방식 푸시-풀 공진형 인버터의 전력 트랜스포머의 2차측과 별도의 한 개의 커패시터를 사용함으로써 역률 개선을 수동소자로만 이용하여 전류원 방식의 공진형 인버터를 채택하는 형광등용 전자식 안정기를 저가격화, 고역률화하는 것을 목적으로 한다.

In the three-phase power system, when any one-phase or two-phases is open-phase, the unbalanced current flows and the single-phase power supplies to three-phase loads. Specially, motor coil and transformer coil receive over-current. As a result, great damage as well as electrical fire can occur to the power system. In order to improve these problems, this paper proposes that an open-phase detection device is designed by a new algorithm using electric potential difference between the resultant voltage of neutral point and ground, and a control circuit topology of open-phase protector is composed of highly efficient semiconductor devices. It improves response speed and reliability. The control algorithm circuit also operates the cut-off of a conventional residual current protective device (RCD) which flows an enforced leakage current to ground wire at open-phase accident. Furthermore, time delay circuit is added to prevent the incapable operation of open-phase protector about instantaneous open-phase not open-phase fault. The time delay circuit improves more reliability.

A new three phase three-level Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Switched Voltage Source (SVS) inverter with zero neutral point potential is proposed. It consists of three single-phase inverter modules. Each module is composed of a switched voltage source and inverter switches. The major advantage is that the peak value of the phase output voltage is twice as high as that of a conventional neutral-point-clamped (NPC) PWM inverter. Thus, the proposed inverter is suitable for applications with low voltage sources such as batteries, fuel cells, or solar cells. Furthermore, three-level waveforms of the proposed inverter can be achieved without the switch voltage imbalance problem. Since the average neutral point potential of the proposed inverter is zero, a common ground between the input stage and the output stage is possible. Therefore, it can be applied to a transformer-less Power Conditioning System (PCS). The proposed inverter is verified by a PSpice simulation and experimental results based on a laboratory prototype.

Recently, a fuel cell with low voltage and high current output characteristics is remarkable for new generation system It needs both a DC-DC step-up converter and DC-AC inverter to be used in fuel cell generation system Therefor, this paper, consists of an isolated DC -DC converter to boost the fuel cell voltage 380[$V_{DC}$] and a PWM inverter with LC filter to convent the DC voltage to single phase 220[$V_{AC}$]. Expressly, a tapped inductor filter with freewheeling diode is newly implemented in the output filter of the proposed high frequency isolated ZVZCS PWM DC-DC converter to suppress circulating current under the wide output voltage regulation range, thus to eliminate the switching and transformer turn-on/off over-short voltage or transient phenomena Besides the efficiency of 93-97[%]is obtained over the wide output voltage regulation ranges and load variations.

AC loss is one of the main research area in AC power application using high temperature superconductor(HTS), such as HTS transformer, HTS current limiter and HTS cable, because it is closely related to efficiency, economic estimation and design of power device. A lot of research for various arrangements of HTS tapes have been performed to increase a capacity of transport current because single HTS tape can not satisfy the demanded current capacity in HTS power application. In this paper, we studied magnetization loss by different several arrangements of BSCCO tapes such as Edge-to-Edge type, Face-to-Face type and Matrix type through numerical analysis by 2D-FEM and measurement. As a result, we got the result that the magnetization loss of Face-to-Face type arrangements was lower than those of other arrangement types under the conditions of the same stacking number. We think that the result was due to shield effect by demagnetization of adjacent HTS tapes which are located face to face.

Multiphase dc-dc converters are widely used in modern power electronics applications due to their advantages over single-phase converters. Such advantages include reduced current stress in both the switching devices and passive elements, reduced output current ripple, and so on. Although the output current ripple of a converter can be significantly reduced by virtue of the interleaving effect, the inductor current ripple cannot be reduced even with the interleaving PWM method. One way to solve this problem is to use a coupled inductor. However, care must be taken in designing the coupled inductor to maximize its performances. In this paper, a detailed analysis of a coupled inductor is conducted and the effect of a coupled inductor on current ripple reduction is investigated extensively. From this analysis, a UU core based coupled inductor structure is proposed to maximize the performance of the coupled inductor.

The scott transformer changes three-phase power to two single-phase power. However, this method causes unbalance and fluctuation of voltage by the change of electric railload. Recently, the AC railway system based on $3{\Phi}/1{\Phi}$ back-to-back (BTB) voltage source converter (VSC) has been proposed to solve these problems. Meanwhile, battery energy storage system (BESS) is used to compensate voltage instantaneously in power system. In this paper, BESS application to the AC railway system based on $3{\Phi}/1{\Phi}$ BTB VSC is suggested to compensate voltage instantaneously. The application effect is shown through simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

사무용 빌딩의 비선형 전자부하에 기인한 전압 및 전류파형의 왜곡은 중성선의 과열, 변압기 손실, 누전차단기 오동작 등을 야기 시킨다. 본 논문에서는 사무용 빌딩에서의 전압 및 전류 고조파의 크기, 전압 및 전류 파고율(Crest Factor : CF), 전압 및 전류 불평형 등을 비교함으로써 파형왜곡 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 고조파에 의한 상 및 중성선에서의 심각한 파형 왜곡 문제와 삼상에서의 단상 부하의 부적절한 분배로 인한 전류 불평형이 심한 빌딩이 조사되었다. 본 연구 결과는 사무용 빌딩에서 합리적이고 경제적인 부하운용을 위해 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
