Consideration for parallel operation in a high power system has been increased due to the advantages of parallel operation like as high productivity, simplicity of design, and redundancy of power. This paper discussed the parallel operation of DC-DC Converter, Which Can be used as a high power system, is studied. Based on the small signal model of DC-DC Converter, the simple and exact power stage model of parallel operation system is derived and the parallel operation system using current balance method for the uniform current distribution among the parallel operation system is discussed. To verify the high performance of the proposed DC-DC converter system for parallel operation, the simulation test of the parallel operation, which has 2 Converter modules, is accomplished.

Parallel operation scheme to several transformers is adopted because of the load increase, economic problem, or load shedding. For the transformer's parallel operation, loads proportional to each transformer's capacity must be allotted, and circulation currents must be limited as much as without causing any problem in a real operation. But, both transformers in parallel operation can be tripped when either faults at lower voltage side of a transformer or faults in a bus occurs. Therefore, parallel operation scheme to distribution transformers in Korea is not adopted in a normal state but only when loaded or load-shedded. These are due to the insufficiency of the construction in communication network and AVR scheme. Besides that, those are because bus bar protection scheme to lower voltage side of a transformer is not applied. In spite of enormous initial investment costs, advanced countries take so much account of power system reliability and stable supply that they adopt the parallel operation scheme in a normal state. One of the problems in parallel operation is the overheat of transformers due to the excessive circulation currents. This paper presents the scheme that controls voltages between both transformers using circulation currents that occurs in parallel operation.

높은 생산성, 시스템 설계의 단순화 및 미래 확장에 대비한 여분의 전원 확보 등의 병렬운전 방법의 장점으로 인해 대전력 전원장치에 있어 컨버터 시스템의 병렬운전에 대한 요구가 점점 증가되어 왔다. DC-DC 컨버터의 소신호 모델을 토대로 하여, 병렬운전 시스템의 모델을 제안하였으며 각 컨버터 모듈간의 균일한 전류분배를 위해 제안된 균등 전류 분배법을 사용한 병렬운전 시스템에 대하여 논의하였다. 모의실험 프로그램을 사용하여, 서로 특성이 다른 컨버터 모듈로 구성된 병렬운전 시스템에서 마스터와 슬레이브 모듈의 위치가 자동적으로 변하면서 전류분배 오차는 제한 값 이내로 유지됨을 확인하였다. 병렬운전을 위한 제안된 컨버터 시스템의 운전 특성을 확인하기 위하여 1[kW]의 DC-DC 컨버터 모듈 2대를 제작 실험하였으며 모의실험 결과는 과도특성 및 기동특성에 있어 실험 결과와 잘 일치됨을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack for easy capacity enlargement series in the medium power capacity inverter system of the 660V voltage class is described. The parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack for 1.5MVA medium power inverter system's design is applied. The results of the parallel operation are described in this paper. The designed stack capacity for parallel operation is 800kVA class. For 1.5MVA inverter system, the 800kVA stack is applied with 2 parallel configurations. The 800kVA stack is designed with 3 parallel configurations of the IGBT Module. In this paper, the feasibility for easy capacity enlargement series in the medium power inverter by applying the parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack is verified. The experimental results show the good characteristics for the parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack.

In this paper, Parallel operation of two DC-DC converters which we have ever done before need two CTs to do load current sharing. However, we have proposed a new method called ZCT method that can share load current with only a CT as doing parallel operation two converters with same converter capacity. To confirm parallel performance by a proposed DC-DC converter parallel operation method, we have done computer simulation and experiment. It is certain that we have showed to achieve two converters current sharing performance efficiently through simulation and experiment at result.

To apply the Power MOSFET to the high powerd circuits, the parallel operation of the Power MOSFET must be considered because of their low power rating. This means, in practical applications, design methods for the parallel operations are required. However, it is very difficult to investigate the problem of parallel operations by directly changing the internal parameters of the MOSFET. Thus, in this paper, the effects of internal parameters for the parallel operation are investigated using SPICE program which is often used and known that the program is very reliable. The investigation results show that while the gate resistance and gate capacitances are the parameters which affect to the dynamic switching operations, the drain and source resistances are the parameters which affect to the steady-state current unbalances. Through this investigation, the design methods for the parallel operation of the MOSFET are suggested, which, in turn, contributes to the practical use of Power MOSFETs.

The parallel operation system of multiple uninterruptible power supplies(UPSs) is used to increase power capacity of the system or to secure higher reliability at critical loads. In the parallel operation of the two UPSs, the load-sharing control to maintain the current balance between them is a key technique. Because a UPS has low output impedance and quick response characteristics, in case of an unbalanced load inverter output current changes very rapidly and thereby can instantaneously reach an overload condition. In this study, high precise load-sharing controller is proposed and implemented for the parallel operation system of two UPSs with low impedance characteristics and this controller controls the frequency and the voltage to minimize the active power component and the reactive power component which are gotten from the current difference between two UPSs. And then a good performance of the proposed method is verified by experiments in the parallel operation system with two 40KVA UPSs.

In a parallel operation of UPS, there are two types of circulating currents between UPS. One is the low order circulating current with a fundamental frequency caused by the amplitude and phase differences of UPS output voltages, and the other is the harmonic circulating current with PWM switching frequency caused by non-synchronized PWM waveforms among UPS. The elimination of the low order circulating current is essential for optimal load sharing in parallel operations of UPS, which can be accomplished by the phase and magnitude control at each UPS. The harmonic circulating current may cause troubles and deteriorate in performance of the controller for optimal load sharing in parallel operation of UPS. This paper presents a PWM synchronizing method to eliminate the harmonic circulation current in parallel operation of UPS. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme has been investigated and verified through experiments by a 50kVA UPS.

In general, for a large power system like DC distribution system for buildings, several power converters are modularized for parallel operation. However, in parallel operation, inconsistency of parameters in each module causes circulating current in the whole system. Circulating current is directly related to loss, and, therefore, it is most important for the safety of the power system to supply the suitable current to each module. This paper proposes a control method to reduce circulating current caused during parallel operation. Accordingly, the validity of parallel operation system including response characteristics and normal state was verified by simulation and experiment result.
