One of the major reasons for recent blackout, like August 14, 2003 blackout in the US and Canada has been insufficient voltage/reactive power support. For the stable reactive power management, a new approach for the voltage monitoring and control structure is required in the market environment. This paper proposes the effective localized-voltage control scheme using the information from pilot buses at each zone. In this paper, the steady state voltage monitoring and control (SSVMC) is adopted and illustrated for the voltage control scheme during steady state because it is thought as the systemic algorithm to explain voltage profile phenomenon before and after contingencies. And the concept of electrical distance is applied to simultaneously achieve both clustering the voltage control zone, and selecting the pilot bus as the representative node at each control zone. Applying SSVMC based on the structure with clustering and pilot bus enables system operators to monitor and understand the system condition much more easily, to monitor and control the voltage in real-time more manageably, and to respond quickly to a disturbance. The proposed voltage control scheme has been tested on the IEEE 14-bus system with the numerical analysis to examine the system reliability and structure efficiency.

FACTS technology is developed into the sophisticated system technology which combines conventional power system technology with power electronics, micro-process control, and information technology. Its objectives are achieving enhancement of the power system flexibility and maximum utilization of the power transfer capability through improvements of the system reliability, controllability, and efficiency [1]. As a series and shunt compensator, UPFC consists of two inverters with common dc link capacitor bank. It controls the magnitude of shunt bus voltage and real and reactive power flow of transmission line[2]. In this paper, we present the design, implementation and test results of developed 20kVA level prototype UPFC. It is applied to power system simulator and controls the real and reactive power flow and shunt bus voltage magnitude.

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.

포항가속기 연구소의 선형가속기에는 22개의 솔레노이드 전자석, 16개의 사극전자석 그리고 전자빔의 궤도 조절을 위한 16개의 2극 전자석이 있다. 선형가속기의 빔을 저장링으로 공급해주는 빔 전송선에는 22개의 사극전자석과 13개의 빔 궤도 조절용 이극 전자석이 있다. 전자빔의 정밀 제어를 위하여 전자석의 전원장치는 출력전류 분해능은 16bit 이상이고 출력전류의 안정도는 최대출력에 대하여 ${\pm}50ppm$ 이하의 고정밀 고안정도가 요구된다. 이를 위하여 풀-브릿지 4상한 DC/DC 컨버터를 이용한 전자석전원장치를 개발 하였다. 전원장치의 입력전압 직류 40V이고 출력전류는 단방향 전원장치는 최대 50A/50V 이고 양방향 전원장치는 ${\pm}20A/20V$이다. 스위칭 주파수는 50 kHz이다. 전원장치의 출력부에 필터가 없으면 출력전류에는 스윗칭과 관련된 주파수 성분이 포함 되고 전자빔은 이들 주파수 성분에 대하여 영향을 받게 된다. 이러한 이유로 출력 필터의 cut-off 주파수는 5 kHz 이하가 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 고정밀 고안정 스윗칭 전자석전원장치를 위한 출력필터의 설계, 제작 그리고 이를 적용한 전자석전원장치에 대하여 논의 하고자 한다.

프로세스 제어기에서 전원장치의 건전성과 신뢰성은 아무리 강조해도 지나치지 않을 것이다. 본 논문은 전원장치의 고장 감시장치에 관한 것으로, 직류 전원공급 시스템의 신뢰도 향상을 위하여 사용하는 이중화 전원 구성용 블로킹다이오드의 고장 감시 장치에 관한 것이다. 이중화 전원 공급장치에 있어서 2개의 공급전원 중 어느 한쪽의 공급전원이 상실되더라도 나머지 한쪽의 공급전원이 건전하면 정상적으로 부하에 전원을 공급하게 하기 위하여 블로킹다이오드를 사용한다. 그러나 블로킹다이오드에 고장이 발생한 경우, 전원공급장치 자체는 정상이더라도 이중화 기능을 하지 못하므로, 블로킹다이오드의 정상 여부를 상시 감시하여 이상이 발생시 경보처리 한다면 예기치 않은 전원공급 중단을 피할 수 있을 것이다. 블로킹다이오드에 흐르는 전류와 다이오드의 양단 전압을 상시 감시/계측하여 정상운전특성곡선과 비교하여, 이상이 있을 경우 이를 경보하여 전원중단을 예방할 수 있는 이중화 전원용 블로킹다이오드의 고장 감시 장치에 관한 것이다.

A new dc link voltage controller for a three-phase Vienna rectifier is proposed in this study. This method uses load current and duty information to control dc link voltage. The load current affects the capacitor current and varies the output voltage. Existing methods do not perfectly consider the load current. By considering load current with duty compensation in the proposed method, the transient response is improved by the load variation regardless of the input voltage. The effectiveness of the proposed method is compared with other control methods when the load changes rapidly using PSIM simulation and experiment.

A glow discharge atomic absorption system for the direct analysis of conducting solid samples has been designed and constructed. An arrestor made of machinable ceramic which is a main component for confining the discharge between cathode and anode is modified to have a better stability in discharge. Discharge voltage or current, shape of arrestor, pressure, and gas flow rate can be controlled by an ADC/DAC board with a personal computer. The effect of discharge parameters such as discharge voltage, pressure, and gas flow rate on the sample loss rate, absorbance, and the surface morphology of sample by SEM has been studied to find optimum discharge conditions.

Recently with the development of power switching device and DSP which has peripheral devices to control AC servo system, the servo technology has met a new development opportunity. Those things make it possible to reduce the time of developing a AC servo system. Fixed point DSP such as TMS320F240x, and TMS320F28x series have a disadvantage in calculating floating number where TMS320C32 or TMS320C31 are floating point DSP. However they usually become a complex hardware system to implement the AC servo system and it increases the cost. In this study, a DSP based AC servo system with a 3-phase PMSM is proposed. The newly produced DSP TMX320F28l2-version C which has the performance of fast speed, 150MIPS, and a rich peripheral interface such as a 12bit high speed AD converter, QEP(Quadrature Encoder Pulse) circuit, PDPINT(Power Drive Protect Interrupt), SVPWM module and dead time module are used. This paper presents a method to overcome fixed point calculating using scaling all parameters. Also space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) using off-set voltage and a digital PI control are implemented to the servo system.

This paper analyzes voltage control method in order to supply high-quality power for stand-alone microgrid. Stand-alone microgrid is composed of battery bank, stand-alone PCS and controllable loads. The main role of stand-alone PCS is to supply high-quality power to loads as main source by using stable voltage method regardless of load conditions. In particularly, output voltage of stand-alone PCS gets severely unbalanced voltage under unbalanced loads. Fundamental positive and negative sequences are transformed by two coordinates transformation which are rotated in each opposite direction, respectively. Each fundamental d-q voltage is regulated by each fundamental PI control. In addition, low-order harmonics are compensated through resonant controllers. Performance of stand-alone microgrid is tested for feasibility, and it is verified that output voltage of THD is improved to 1% from 2.2% under 50 kW balanced load, and is improved to 1.1% from 2.6% under 50 kW unbalanced load.

Generally, in a single-phase energy storage system (ESS) for households, AC ripple component with twice the fundamental frequency exists inevitably in the DC link voltage of single-phase PCS. In the grid-connected mode of a single-phase inverter, the AC ripple component in the DC link voltage causes low-order harmonics on grid-side current that deteriorates power quality on an AC grid. In this work, a control system adopting a feedforward controller is established to eliminate the AC ripple interference on the DC link side. Optimal battery nominal voltage design method is also proposed by considering the voltage loss and AC ripple voltage on DC link side in a single-phase ESS. Finally, the control system and battery nominal voltage design method are verified through simulations and experiments.
