To prevent degradation of battery efficiency generated by serious current variation in rechargeable batteries, we researched a hybrid battery combining a super capacitor and a rechargeable battery. The hybrid battery shows high efficiency in a lifetime and a voltage drop. The hybrid battery was composed of a rechargeable battery, a current regulator and a super capacitor that can be used with supporting power. Before the experiment, the hybrid battery was simulated for current regulation and an electric current in a super capacitor by using the Pspice program. After that, we compared the efficiency of the hybrid battery with the efficiency of the normal battery. In this result, we demonstrated that the hybrid battery has a higher efficiency and a longer lifespan than the normal battery.

In order to maintain customer voltages within the allowable limit($220{\pm}13V$) as much as possible, tap operation strategy of SVR(Step Voltage Regulator) which is located in primary feeder, is widely used for voltage control in the utilities. However, SVR in nature has operation characteristic of the delay time ranging from 30 to 150 sec, and then the compensation of BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) during the delay time is being required because the customer voltages in distribution system may violate the allowable limit during the delay time of SVR. Furthermore, interconnection of PV(Photovoltaic) system could make a difficultly to keep customer voltage within the allowable limit. Therefore, this paper presents an optimal coordination operation algorithm between BESS and SVR based on a conventional LDC (Line Drop Compensation) method which is decided by stochastic approach. Through the modeling of SVR and BESS using the PSCAD/EMTDC, it is confirmed that customer voltages in distribution system can be maintained within the allowable limit.

To meet the demand increasing passengers in railway vehicles, railway transportation service companies are increasing the numbers of cars per train-set. Two solutions, Variable train-set formations and Multiple train-set operation, are common way to increase the transportation capability. These kind of long distance train-set can effect train-set command and control system, and sometimes the digital signals using train line from master cabin can not reach to the systems located the other extremity slave car. This is so called Voltage Drop. This phenomenon is originated from the electrical power consumption and electrical cable resistance, and cause to the equipments or cars located end of the electrical cable way, malfunction or abnormal operations. This voltage drop happens not only in train lines but also Battery Power Lines. The purpose of this investigation is to design high reliability railway vehicles by clarifying the possibility of happening these events case by case, by analyzing the reasons, and finally by finding the best solutions.

In this paper, an electric vehicle drives with efficient control and low cost hardware using four quadrant DC converter with Permanent Magnet Direct Current (PMDC) motor fed by DC boost converter is presented. The main idea of this work is to improve the energy efficiency of the conversion chain of an electric vehicle by inserting a boost converter between the battery and the four quadrant-DC motor chopper assembly. Consequently, this method makes it possible to maintain the amplification gain of the 4 quadrant chopper constant regardless of the battery voltage drop and even in the presence of a fault in the battery. One of the most important control problems is control under heavy uncertainty conditions. The higher order sliding mode control technique is introduced for the adjustment of DC bus voltage and mechanical motor speed. To implement the proposed approach in the automotive field, experimental tests were carried out. The performances obtained show the usefulness of this system for a better energy management of an electric vehicle and an ideal control under different operating conditions and constraints, mostly at nominal operation, in the presence of a load torque, when reversing the direction of rotation of the motor speed and even in case of battery chamber failure. The whole system has been tested experimentally and its performance has been analyzed.

A large number of lithium-ion batteries are arranged in series and parallel in battery packs, such as those in electric vehicles or energy storage systems. As battery packs age, their output power and energy density drop because of voltage deviation, constant and non-uniform exposure to abnormal environments, and increased contact resistance between batteries; this reduces application system efficiency. Despite the balancing circuit and logic of the battery management system, the output of the battery pack is concentrated in the most severely aged unit cell and the output is frequently limited by power derating. In this study, we implemented a cell imbalance detection algorithm and selected parameters to detect a sudden decrease in battery pack output. In addition, we propose a method to increase efficiency by applying the measured testing values considering the operating conditions and abnormal conditions of the battery pack.

Currently, the rapid growth of electric vehicles and the collection and disposal of waste batteries are becoming a social problem. The purpose of this paper is to propose a fast and efficient battery screening method through a safe inspection and storage method according to the collection and storage of waste batteries of electric vehicles. In addition, as the resistance inside the waste battery increases, an instantaneous voltage drop occurs, and there is a risk of overcharging and overdischarging compared to the initial state of the battery. Accordingly, there are great difficulties in operation, so the final goal of this study is to develop a device for diagnosing aging through real-time battery internal resistance measurement. Final result As a result of simulation of the internal resistance measurement test circuit through external impedance (AC), the actual simulation value was 0.05Ω, RS = Vrms / Irms => Vrms = 8.0036mV, Irms = 162.83Ma. Substitute the suggested method. The result was calculated as Rs = 0.0495Ω. It is possible to measure up to 64 impedances inside the aging diagnostic equipment that enables real-time monitoring of the developed battery cells, and the range can be changed according to the application method.

본 논문에서는 휴대폰에 사용하는 리튬-이론 배터리(Li-Ion battery)를 충전하기 위한 충전 IC 의 설계에 대해서 기술한다. 정전류(Constant Current)/ 정전압 (Constant Voltage) 방식을 이용하여 리튬-이론 배터리를 충전을 하였다. 이 충전 과정을 제어하기 위해서 일반적으로 사용되는 ADC, DAC 와 MICOM 을 사용하지 않고, hardwired control logic 을 이용하여 적은 면적을 가지고도 기존의 충전 과정을 수행하도록 하였다. 충전 IC 외부에 사용되는 저항들을 내부에 집적하여 사용하는 부품의 수를 현저히 줄였다. 충전기와 리튬-이온 배터리를 연결하는 선(wire)로 저항에 의한 전압강하(voltage drop)를 외부에서 보상할 수 있도록하여 리튬-이온 배터리가 가장 안정적인 전압인 4.2 V로 충전 될 수 있도록 하였다. 외부 온도 검사 블록에서 저항을 이용한 전압 분배를 사용하지 않고, 정전류원을 이용하여 외부 온도 변화를 측정할 수 있도록 하였다. 리튬-이온 배터가 전정류와 정전압으로 4.2 V로 충전 되었으며, 충전 IC 의 소비 전력은 37 mW(analog part)이다. 충전 IC는 0.6 ㎛ standard CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계하였다.

태양광전원이 연계된 배전계통에서 발생되는 과전압문제를 해소하기 위하여, 계통에서 발생하는 전압변동에 대응하여 전압을 일정하게 유지시킬 수 있는 선로 전압 조정장치(Step Voltage Regulator)의 도입이 제안되고 있다. 일반적으로 SVR은 전압조정 방법에 의하여 Tap위치를 결정한 후, 일정시간이 지나면 Tap이 동작하도록 운용된다. 하지만 지연시간(30sec) 이후에 Tap을 동작시키는 SVR의 특성에 의하여, 이 시간동안 수용가전압은 규정치를 벗어날 가능성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 배전계통의 상용소프트웨어인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 LDC방법에 의한 SVR의 전압조정 모델링과, 양방향으로 유무효전력을 제어할 수 있는 전지전력저장장치(Battery Energy Storage System)의 모델링을 제안하였다. 또한 SVR의 문제점을 보완하기 위하여, BESS와의 협조방안에 대한 모델링을 제시하였다. 상기에서 제안한 모델링을 바탕으로 수용가의 전압특성을 분석한 결과, SVR과 BESS에 의하여 안정적으로 전압이 유지됨을 확인하여, 본 연구에서 제시한 모델링의 유효성을 입증하였다.

전지는 화학에너지를 기계적인 처리과정 없이 전기에너지로 직접 전환하는 장치이다. 부하전압과 부하전류의 용량에 따라 단위전지를 직.병렬 연결하여 사용하게 되며, 전지의 병렬운전은 단독운전 보다 전압강하를 더 천천히 발생시키므로 전압강하에 민감한 전력변환장치들의 효율에 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 병렬운전의 필요성과 장점 때문에 대부분의 축전지를 사용하는 시스템은 병렬운전을 하고 있고, 반면에 선.구 축전지 사이에서 순환 전류가 흐르고, 자가방전이 일어나는 단점 또한 가지고 있다. 신 축전지에서 충.방전 전류가 과다하게 흐르는 불평형 현상과 이로 인해 축전지의 수명단축을 일으키게된다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로 프로세서를 사용하여 선.구 축전지 사이의 볼평형 전류를 검출하고 외부저항을 첨가시켜 내부저항의 차이에 대한 감소효과를 얻어 불평형 전류를 보상하였다. 이를 실험을 통해 구현하였다.
