This paper describes a new low-swing inverter for low power consumption. To reduce a power consumption, an output voltage swing is in the range from 0 to VDD-2VTH. This can be done by the inverter structure that allow a full swing or a swing on its input terminal without leakage current. Using this low-swing voltage technology, we proposed a low-power 16$\times$16 bit parallel multiplier. The proposed circuits are designed with Samsung 0.35$\mu$m standard CMOS process at a 3.3V supply voltage. The validity and effectiveness are verified through the HSPICE simulation.. Compared to the previous works, this circuit can reduce the power consumption rate of 17.3% and the power-delay product of 16.5%.

태양전지는 요구전력의 필요에 따라 직 병렬로 연결하여 태양전지 모듈(solar cell module)로 제품화한다. 태양전지가 실제로 전자제품에 연결해서 사용하기 위해서는 주변장치(BOS, Balance of System)가 사용된다. 또한 일사량의 강도에 따라 불균일한 직류전기가 발생되므로, 태양광발전시스템은 모듈을 직 병렬로 연결한 태양전지 어레이(solar cell array)와 안정된 전기공급을 위한 전력조정기(power conditioning system, 이하 PCS)가 필요하다. 또한 직류가 아닌 교류를 필요로 하는 응용제품에는 직 교류변환장치 인버터(inverter)를 필요로 한다. 본 과제는 전시를 위한 연구개발 목적보다는 태양광 시스템 보급 양산기술에 중심을 두어 태양광 산업경제를 활성화 하고자한다. 따라서 본 과제는 기존에 연구개발과 특수목적 시장 중심인 초고효율 태양전지 개발보다 경제적인 기여도와 파급효과가 크다.

Islanding phenomenon of photovoltaic system is undesirable because it leads to a safety hazard to utility service personnel and may cause damage to power generation and power supply facilities as a result of unsynchronized re-closure. Anti-islanding protection is an important technical requirement for grid-connected PV system. Until now, various anti-islanding methods for detecting and preventing islanding of photovoltaic and other distributed generations have been proposed. Most of them are focusing on the anti-islanding performance of single PV system according to the related international and domestic standard test procedures. There are few studies on the islanding phenomenon for multiple photovoltaic operation in parallel. This paper presents performance analysis of anti-islanding function for grid-connected PV inverter systems when several PV inverters are connected in parallel.

This paper investigates the droop control of parallel inverters for an islanded mode of microgrid. Frequency and voltage droop control is one of power control and load demand sharing methods. However, although the active power is properly shared, the reactive power sharing is inaccurate with conventional method due to the unequal line impedances and the power coupling of active - reactive power. In order to solve this problem, an improved droop method with virtual inductor concept and a voltage and current controller properly designed have been considered and analyzed through the PSiM simulation. The performance of improved droop method is analyzed in not only low-voltage line but also medium voltage line.

여러 분산 발전 시스템으로 구성된 마이크로그리드는 계통연계 모드에서 부하의 수요에 담당하게 되고, 계통 사고가 발생할 시 독립 운전 모드로 동작을 해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 독립운전 모드 동작 시 제어 방식 중에서 유, 무효 전력제어를 통한 적절한 전력 분담을 실현하기 위한 드룹제어 방식을 다룬다. 이 방식은 선로 임피던스가 복합 성분으로 구성되어 있거나 불 평형 일 경우 여러 문제로 유,무효 전력 분담의 오차를 발생 시킨다. 이에 대하여 가상임피던스를 추가함으로써, 복합적 불 평형 임피던스에 기인한 유,무효 전력 분담의 오차를 해결 하여, 시스템의 유,무효 전력 분담을 개선 하고자 하였다. 가상 임피던스에 따른 출력 임피던스에 대해서 연구하고 이에 따른 드룹제어를 분석하고, PSIM 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 검증하였다.

Since anti-islanding scheme of grid-connected inverter is a key function of standards compliance, unintentional islanding results in safety hazards, reliability, and many other issues. Therefore, many anti-islanding schemes have been researched, however, existing anti-islanding schemes show poor power quality and non-detection zone issues. Besides, most of them have problems which deteriorate performance of islanding detection under parallel-operation. Therefore, this paper proposes a new anti-islanding scheme that has both negligible power quality degradation, no non-detection zone and precise islanding detection under parallel-operation. Finally, both simulation and experimental results validate the proposed scheme.

This paper presents a current-source-inverter based on a buck-boost configuration and its application for residential photovoltaic system. The proposed circuit has five switches. Among them, only one switch acts as chopping, and the other determine the polarity of output; therefore, it can reduce the switching loss. Because the input inductor current is operated on the discontinuous conduction mode, high power factor can be achieved without additional input current controller. So the overall system shows a simple structure. The operational modes are analysed in depth, and then it was verified through the experimental results using a 150 [W] prototype equipped with digital signal processor TMS320F241.

In this paper, we propose two types of novel discrete time current control methods of modified fixed band hysteresis control and optimal control for Parallel Resonant DC Link Inverters(PRDCLI). Because zero bus voltage intervals are generated on the DC link of PRDCLI, we can obtain the information of counter electromotive force(emf) by a simple estimation strategy. The proposed current controllers predict the currents of the next resonant cycle using the obstained information of counter emf and the average values of DC link voltages. The computer simulation results for a simple equivalent circuit of induction motor show that the proposed control methods are more effective than conventional methods.

교류전원은 직류전원과는 다르게 전력 이용 및 전달에 있어서 유효역률과 고조파의 영향을 분리하여 생각할 수 없다. 특히, 고조파의 영향과 전력전자의 발달과 더불어 그 문제점이 크게 부각되고 있다. 유럽을 중심으로 세계 각국에서는 규격제정(EN61000, IEC 519, IEEE 555 등) 과 규제 강화에 나서고 있다. 국내에서는 아직까지 크게 주목받지 않고 있으나, 전력의 효율개선, 양질의 전력공급 등의 측면에서 기술 향상에 필수적으로 고려되어야 할 분야이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 간단한 제어기 구성을 통해 병렬 인버터와 하이브리드 능동필터 개념을 도입하여 역률 개선, 고조파 저감 등을 통해 교류전력 품질 개선 장치을 구성하였다. 본 연구결과로 고압 대전력 전력변환장치의 무효 전력을 감소시켜 발전 전력의 효율적 이용과 부하측의 고주파 문제를 최소화 하는데 기여할 수 있을것으로 기대된다.
