This paper describes the operation analysis results of a communication-based DC micro-grid using a hardware simulator developed in the lab. The developed hardware simulator is composed of distributed generation devices such as wind power, photovoltaic power and fuel cells, and energy storage devices such as super-capacitors and batteries. Whole system monitoring and control was implemented using a personal computer. The power management scheme was implemented in a main controller based on a TMS320F28335 chip. The main controller is connected with the local controller in each of the distributed generator and energy storage devices through the communication link based on a CAN or an IEC61850. The operation analysis results using the developed hardware simulator confirm the ability of the DC micro-grid to supply the electric power to end users.

This paper deals with simulation model of the micro-grid system based on the real power system and applying PV generation system to micro-grid system. PSCAD/EMTDC simulation model is developed for use in studying the effect of the dynamics of PV generation to the micro-grid system. Simulation results show that the addition of the PV system improves the voltage profile of the area. Case studies also show that power quality at the load side is improved via voltage compensation at the load bus.

The use of micro bubbles in industrial fields has been increasing in the recent years., particularly micro-bubble sterilization and water purification effects. Various methods have been developed for the generation of micro-bubbles. Depending on the method of generating bubbles, the micro-bubbles can be roughly classified into saturation molding, cavitation and rotation flow types. The objective of this study was to use ventilated tube type as a method of generating micro-bubbles in order to purify large amount of water quality such as lakes and reservoirs. This method shows a difference in efficiency in which micro-bubbles are generated depending on the contact ratio of gas to liquid. The study also investigated the optimal gas liquid contact ratio by applying various orifice methods and investigated the optimum condition of micro-bubble generation by gas Based on this, a technology to develop a micro-bubble generator with a venturi type nozzle shape that has a high water purification effect was developed.

As the demand for electric power increases rapidly and the amount of fossil fuels decreases year by year, making use of renewable resources seem very necessary. However, due to the discontinuous nature of renewable resources and the hierarchical topology of existing grids, power quality and grid stability will deteriorate as more and more distributed generations (DGs) are connected to the grids. It is a good idea to combine local utilization, local consumption, energy storage and DGs to form a grid-friendly micro grid, these micro grids can then assembled into an intelligent power system - the smart Grid. It can optimize power flow and integrate power generation and consumption effectively. Most importantly, the power quality and grid stability can be improved greatly. This paper depicts how the smart grid addresses the current issues of a power system. It also figures out the key technologies and expectations of the smart grid.

전력산업의 구조개편과 더불어 분산전원의 배전계통연계운용 및 전력품질이 전력회사의 배전사업자, 구역전기사업자, 전기공급 신뢰도와 밀접한 관계에 있는 산업용 수용가들에게 많은 관심을 불러일으키고 있다. 이러한 주변정세는 차세대의 배전계통이 다수의 Micro-grid들로 구성될 것이라고 하는 예상을 전문가들로부터 제기되기에 이르렀다. 그러나, 제안된 Micro-grid는 몇몇의 분산전원과 전력품질을 보상하는 기기, 그리고 통신제어설비와 부하들로 구성된다는 기본적인 내용에 지나지 않는다 따라서, 본 논문에서는 수용가에 고신뢰 고품질의 전력공급을 가능하게 하는 차세대 전력공급네트워크인 Micro-grid의 적정전압유지를 위한 자율분산협조 운용제어 알고리즘을 제안한다.

스트링 인버터의 정격전력이 낮은 단점을 보완하기 위하여 전력변환장치(PCS: Power Conditioning System)를 마이크로 인버터를 사용하여 기존 PCS와 비교하여 마이크로 인버터의 필요성과 향후의 발전 방향을 고찰하고자 한다. 현재 가정용 태양광발전 시스템에서는 스트링 인버터를 사용해 왔으며 유럽을 시작으로 스트링 인버터의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 마이크로 인버터(PV-MIC)의 연구 및 보급률이 확장 되고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 국내 태양광인버터 업계에서는 태양광발전용 마이크로 인버터(PV-MIC)에 대한 정확한 기술기준 및 시험 측정 장비 및 관련 시험방법 부재가 제품 개발에 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 마이크로 인버터(PV-MIC)의 특성을 고려하여 시험측정 장비 및 관련 기술기준 연구를 통해 선진기술 변화에 뒤쳐지지 않도록 경쟁력을 갖출 수 있는데 목적을 둔다.

As the distributed generation becomes more reliable and economically feasible, it is expected that a higher application of the distributed generation units would be interconnected to the existing grids. This new market penetration using the distributed generation technology is linked to a large number of factors like economics and performance, safety and reliability, market regulations, environmental issues, or grid connection standards. KEPCO, a government company in Korea, has performed the project to identify and evaluate the performance of Micro Gas Turbine(MGT) technologies focused on 30, 60kW-class grid-connected optimization and combined Heat & Power performance. This paper describes the results for the mechanical, electrical, and environmental tests of MGT on actual grid-connection under Korean regulations. As one of the achievements, the simulation model of Exhaust-gas Absorption Chiller was developed, so that it will be able to analyze or propose new distributed generation system using MGT. In addition, KEPCO carried out the field testing of the MGT Cogeneration system at the R&D Center Building, KEPCO. The field test was conducted in order to respond to a wide variety of needs for heat recovery and utilization. The suggested method and experience for the evaluation of the distributed generation will be used for the introduction of other distributed generation technologies into the grid in the future.

Recent developments of small-size unmanned or manned mobile systems such as autonomous robots, exoskeleton or armored suits, micro air vehicles, and unmanned armored vehicles require long-lasting independent power sources of high energy and power density to support the systems' operation for up to 72 hours in the fields. Chemical batteries such as Ni-MH, Li-Ion, the current primary power sources for mobile devices, however, are not capable of providing enough power and energy density for the next generation high power mobile machines. For this reason, KIMM along with KERI and KIMS has been carrying out a 500W MTG development project under the DAPA's "Next generation military power source R&D program" since 2009. In this paper, a design process for a 500W MTG system currently being developed at KIMM is briefly described and the technical issues related to its development are addressed.
