본 논문에서는 납 축전지를 사용하는 산업용 전기차량의 SOC(State Of Charge)를 별도의 BMS(Battery Management System)장치 없이 추정하는 방법에 대해 기술한다. SOC를 추정하기 위한 기존의 전통적인 방법들 중 전력을 적산하는 방법(Ampere hour counting)이 널리 사용되는데 이는 장치의 내, 외적인 요인에 의해 발생한 오차가 누적될 수 있다. 배터리의 전압을 측정하여 SOC를 추정하는 OCV(Open Circuit Voltage) 방법은 배터리가 안정 상태에 도달하기까지 충분한 휴지 시간이 필요해 실시간으로 적용하기 힘들다. 이 외에 칼만 필터를 이용하는 방법은 시스템을 정확히 모델링해야 하고 계산이 복잡하다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 전력을 적산하는 방법을 기본으로 하고 배터리의 전압을 적절히 이용하여 누적되는 오차를 보정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법에 대해 시뮬레이션 하고 실제로 산업용 차량인 AC 전동 지게차로 실험하여 그 타당성을 검증 하였다.

A power control and distribution unit(PCDU) plays roles of protection of battery against overcharge by active control of solar array generated power, distribution of unregulated electrical power via controlled outlets to bus and instrument units, distribution of regulated electrical power to selected bus and instrument units, and provision of status monitoring and telecommand interface allowing the system and ground operate the power system, evaluate its performance and initiate appropriate countermeasures in case of abnormal conditions. In this work, we perform the preliminary design of a PCDU scheme for the small LEO Satellite applications. The main constitutes of the PCDU are the battery interface module, the auxiliary supply modules, solar array regulators with maximum power point tracking(MPPT) technology, heater power distribution modules, internal converter modules for regulated bus voltage generation. and instrument power distribution modules.

This paper has introduces a novel Integrated On-board Charger (IOBC) to reduce the size, weight and cost of power conversion stages in Electric Vehicles (EVs). The IOBC is composed of an OBC and a low voltage dc-dc converter (LDC). The IOBC includes a bidirectional ac-dc converter and a bidirectional full-bridge converter with an active clamp circuit. The LDC converter is a hybrid topology combining an active clamped full-bridge converter and a forward converter derived from the Weinburg converter topology. Unlike conventional OBC, the proposed IOBC is compact and the LDC converter of it can achieve a higher efficiency. In addition, the LDC converter of the proposed IOBC can achieve high step-down voltage conversion ratio, no circulating current, no reverse recovery current of the rectifier diodes and small ripple current of output inductor on the auxiliary battery. A 1kW hardware of the LDC converter is implemented to verify the performances of the proposed IOBC.

In this paper a high efficiency wireless on-board charger for Electric Vehicle (EV) is proposed and the theoretical analysis based on the two-port network model to come up with suitable design for the battery charge application is presented. The proposed Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) method has adopted four-coil system with air core and its superior performance is proved by comparing it to the conventional two-coil system by the mathematical analysis. In addition, since the proposed WPT converter is able to operate at an almost constant frequency regardless of the load, CC/CV charge of the battery can be simply implemented. A 6.6kW prototype is implemented with 20cm air gap to prove the validity of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the dc to dc conversion efficiency of the proposed system achieves 97.08% at 3.7 kW.

There is an increasing demand for efficient high power/weight auxiliary power supplies for use on high speed traction application. Many new conversion techniques have been proposed to reduce the voltage and current stress of switching components, and the switching losses in the traditional pulse width modulation(PWM) converter. Especially, the phase shift full bridge zero voltage switching PWM techniques are thought most desirable for many applications because this topology permits all switching devices to operate under zero voltage switching(ZVS) by using circuit parasitic components such as leakage inductance of high frequency transformer and power device junction capacitance. The proposed topology is found to have higher efficiency than conventional soft-switching converter. Also it is easily applicable to phase shift full bridge converter by applying an energy recovery snubber consisted of fast recovery diodes and capacitors.

A battery is an important part of the component, as a power source of the control of rolling stock at starting movement or emergency control. Now widely used batteries are Ni-Cd batteries and lead accumulators, and these are increasingly getting smaller and lighter. In addition, the electric capacity required is increasing, due to the development of electronic control technology of rolling stock. Therefore, various kinds of high-efficiency battery are considered for the new routes' rolling stock, but rolling stock's batteries should be fully tested to prove safety and also have no difficulty in terms of management, so because of the requirement, it is difficult to be in practical application. In this paper, we will survey cases of applying battery to rolling stock and then we will review whether there is any problem about safety and performance, management to discuss future trend of batteries.

Expanded graphites were used as anode materials of high power Li-ion secondary battery. The expanded graphite was prepared by mixing the graphite with $HClO_4$ as a intercalation agents and $KMnO_4$ as a oxidizing agents. The physical and electrochemical properties of prepared expanded graphites through the variation of process variables such as contents of intercalation agent and oxidizing agent, and heat treatment temperature were analyzed for determination of optimal conditions as the anode of high power Li-ion secondary battery. After examing the electrochemical properties of expanded graphites at the different preparing conditions, the optimal conditions of expanded graphite were selected as 8 wt.% of oxidizing agent, 400 g of intercalation agent for 20 g of natural graphite, and heat treatment at $1000^{\circ}C$. The sample showed the improved charge/discharge characteristics such as 432 mAh/g of initial reversible capacity, 88% of discharge rate capability at 10 C-rate, and 24 mAh/g of charge capacity at 10 C-rate. However, the expanded graphite had the problems of potential plateaus like natural graphite and lower initial efficiency than the natural graphite.
