This paper proposes the switched trans Z-source inverter(STZSI) which combined the characteristics of the trans Z-source inverter(TZSI) and the switched inductor Z-source inverter(SLZSI). The proposed STZSI has the same performance compared with the SLZSI which is improved the voltage boost performance of the conventional typical X-shaped ZSI, and it has advantage that circuit structure of Z-impedance network is more simple. And, in order to step up the voltage boost factor under the condition of the same duty ratio, unlike the SLZSI adding the inductors and diodes, the proposed method is dune by changing the turn ratio of trans primary winding of Z-impedance network. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, PSIM simulation and a DSP(TMS320F28335) based experiment were performed using trans with turn ratio 1 and 2 under the condition of the input DC voltage VI=50V, duty ratio D=0.1 and D=0.15. As a result, under the same input/ouput condition, the inverter arm voltage stress of the proposed method is reduced to about 15%-22% as compared with typical X-shaped ZSI, and the elements in Z-impedance network of the proposed method is reduced as compared with the SLZSI.

본 논문에서는 Z-소스 인버터의 최대승압 불연속 PWM 방법을 설계하였다. 일반적으로 불연속 PWM 방법은 스위칭 손실을 줄이고, 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 사용되어 왔으며 본 논문에서는 기존에 연구되었던 Z-소스 인버터의 최대승압 PWM 방법과 함께 불연속 PWM 기법을 결합하여 적용함으로써 전체 효율을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 제안된 방법은 실험을 통하여, 기존의 PWM 방법들과의 효율을 비교함으로써 효용성을 입증하였다.

This paper proposes a scheme of auto-tuning fuzzy PI controller and input voltage feed forward to control the output voltage of a three-phase Z-source inverter (ZSI). The proposed scheme adjusts the ts (Kp and Ki) in real time in order to find the most suitable Kp and Ki for PI controller and to simplify the controller design. The proposed scheme is verified the validity by experiment and co-simulation in PSIM and MATLAB/SIMULINK both load step change and input DC voltage variation in Z-source inverter, and has compared with the conventional PID control scheme. The experiment results involve of three-phase output voltage, Z-network capacitor voltage and dc-link peak voltage value. By those analysis and comparison, the availability of the proposed method in output voltage transient response quality improving has been verified. Compared with conventional PID method, the proposed method showed a more effective and robust control performance for coping with the severe disturbance conditions.

The Z-source inverter (ZSI) provides unique features such as the ability to boost dc voltage with a single stage simple structure. Although the dc capacitor voltage can be boosted by a shoot-through state, the voltage stress across the switching devices is rapidly increased, so high switching device power is required at the ZSI. In this paper, algorithms for minimizing the voltage stress are suggested. The possible operating region for obtaining a desired ac output voltage according to both the shoot-through time and active state time is investigated. The reference capacitor voltages are derived for minimizing the voltage stress at any desired ac output voltage by considering the dc input voltage. The proposed methods are carried out through the simulation studies and experiments with 32-bit DSP.

In this paper, a ripple input current embedded switched-inductor Z-source inverter (rESL-ZSI) and a continuous input current embedded switched-inductor Z-source inverter (cESL-ZSI) are proposed by inserting two dc sources into the switched-inductor cells. The proposed inverters provide a high boost voltage inversion ability, a lower voltage stress across the active switching devices, a continuous input current and a reduced voltage stress on the capacitors. In addition, they can suppress the startup inrush current, which otherwise might destroy the devices. This paper presents the operating principles, analysis, and simulation results, and compares them to the conventional switched-inductor Z-source inverter. In order to verify the performance of the proposed converters, a laboratory prototype was constructed with 60 $V_{dc}$ input to test both configurations.

This paper presents a design strategy for the control of the Z-source inverter (ZSI). For the Z-network capacitor voltage control, the average current model is derived to describe the dynamics of the voltage control and the controller outputs the average current command for the capacitor. Z-network inductor current reference is derived from the average current model of the Z-network capacitor. The inner current control loop outputs the average voltage command for the Z-network inductor and the shoot-through duty ratio of the ZSI is calculated from the output using the average voltage model of the Z-network inductor. The gain values of the current and voltage controllers are directly obtained by the Z-network parameters and desired bandwidth of each controller without a gain tuning process.

Cascading failure is the main cause of large blackouts in electrical power systems; this paper analyzes a cascading failure in Hanbit nuclear power plant unit two (2) caused by a circuit breaker (CB) operation failure. This malfunction has been expanded to the loss of offsite power (LOOP). In this study, current practices are reviewed and then the methodologies of how to prevent cascading failures in protection power systems are introduced. An overview on the implementation of IEC61850 GOOSE messaging-based zone selective interlocking (ZSI) scheme as key solution is proposed. In consideration of ZSI blocking time, all influencing factors such as circuit breaker opening time, relay I/O response time and messages travelling time in the communication network should be taken into account. The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on the effect of cascading failure in NPP electrical power protection system and propose preventive actions for this failures. Finally, the expected advantages and challenges are elaborated.

가뭄은 영향을 받는 인자에 따라 체감정도가 달라지는 사회적 현상으로 기후학적 가뭄, 기상학적 가뭄, 농업적 가뭄, 수문학적 가뭄 등 다양한 상대적 개념으로 정의되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양하게 정의되는 가뭄 중에서 기상학적 가뭄을 나타내는 지수에 대한 비교 분석을 실시하고자 하였으며, 실제 과거 가뭄사례와 기상학적 가뭄지수 분석결과의 비교를 통하여 가뭄지수의 적용성을 검토하고자 하였다. 가뭄지수의 비교를 위하여 기상학적 가뭄을 판단하기 위해 일반적으로 가장 많이 사용되는 SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index)와 일반적으로 사용되지는 않지만 강수량만을 이용하여 가뭄분석이 가능한 CZI (China-Z Index), MCZI (Modified CZI), ZSI (Z-Score Index) 지수를 이용하였다. 대상지역으로는 최근까지도 가뭄이 발생하였던 태백과 속초지역을 대상으로 선정하였으며 1986년부터 2015년 기상 자료를 이용하여 지속시간 3개월로 가뭄지수 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 SPI 가뭄지수가 과거 제한급수발생 가뭄사례에 대하여 높은 재현성을 나타내는 것으로 분석되었으며 CZI와 MCZI 가뭄지수의 경우 Extreme Dry 발생 횟수는 과거사례와 유사하나 실제 가뭄이 발생했던 년도에 대해서는 낮은 재현성이 나타났다. ZSI 가뭄지수의 경우 발생횟수, 과거사례와의 비교 모두 재현성이 떨어지는 것으로 분석되었다. 가뭄지수의 비교결과 강수량을 이용한 기상학적 가뭄지수의 경우 과거 가뭄사례와 가장 높은 재현성을 보이는 SPI 가뭄지수를 이용하는 것이 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.
