This paper presents a simple and cost-effective stand-alone rapid battery charging system of 30kW for electric vehicles. The proposed system mainly consists of active front-end rectifier of neutral point clamped 3-level type and non-isolated bi-directional dc-dc converter of multi-phase interleaved half-bridge topology. The charging system is designed to operate for both lithium-polymer and lithium-ion batteries. The complete charging sequence is made up of three sub-interval operating modes; pre-charging mode, constant-current mode, and constant-voltage mode. Each mode is operated according to battery states: voltage, current and State of Charging (SOC). The proposed system is able to reach the full-charge state within less than 16min for the battery capacity of 8kWh by supplying the charging current of 67A. The optimal discharging algorithm for Vehicle to the Grid (V2G) operation has been adopted to maintain the discharging current of 1C. Owing to the simple and compact power conversion scheme, the proposed solution has superior module-friendly mechanical structure which is absolutely required to realize flexible power expansion capability in a very high-current rapid charging system. Experiment waveforms confirm the proposed functionality of the charging system.

A conventional single-phase high-power system typically generates a large AC line input current at universal 90 VAC condition. Sometimes, this phenomenon can block the Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB), which causes problems. Replacing power facilities is essential to ensure smooth operations. Thus, this paper proposes a method that can drive higher power than the limit of conventional power facilities. The proposed method can reduce the large AC line input current by limiting the input power of Power Factor Correction (PFC). An additional battery circuit can supplement the power deficiency. Specifically, a bidirectional converter with charging and discharging functions was adopted for the battery circuit. Finally, the validity of the proposed system could be confirmed by modal analysis and simulation, and an experiment in 2 KW condition was implemented with a prototype sample as well.

In this paper, a proposed approach to improve the power factor of three-phase rectifiers and to stabilize the output voltage against load change is presented. The elements of the given control strategy are small size, low cost, high performance, and simplicity. The proposed control strategy of switches is based on a prototype of three bi-directional switched consisting of four diodes and one IGBT. A control technique and operational procedure are also developed, both theoretically and experimentally. The experimental results clearly verify the theoretical analysis from the prototype connected to grid unity.

본 논문에서는 영구 자석형 동기 전동기를 이용한 고속 엘리베이터 시스템 용 무기어식 구동 시스템의 개발 사례를 소개한다. 엘리베이터 구동원으로서 영구 자석형 동기 전동기의 채택은 에너지 절약, 승차감 향상, 기계실의 하중 부담 감소 및 효율적인 공간 활용 등의여러 장점을 지닌다. 전력 변환 장치로는 기존의 다이오드 정류기와 제동 저항 대신 직류단 전압 제어 회생 운전 그리고 낮은 고조파 함유율이 역률 1 제어가 가능한 승압형 PWM 컴버터를 채택하였다. 제어 시스템은 고속 대용량의 단일 DSP를 사용하여 통합형 제어 시스템을 구축함으로써 전체 제어 시스템의 신뢰성 및 성능을 크게 향상시켰다. 시험 장치로는 고속 엘리베이터용 부사 시뮬레이터 시스템을 개발하여 운전 거리에 대한 제약 없이 구동 시스템의 다양한 시험이 가능해졌다.
