Recently, hybrid generation systems combine multiple energy sources or storage components to optimize the characteristics of the individual energy sources. In this paper, a battery integrated PV power optimizer for PV-battery hybrid power generation system is proposed. PV system using proposed topology can easily increase battery capacity and remove high power bidirectional converter to control bulky battery bank.

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and battery charging control are two important functions for a solar battery charger. The former improves utilization of the available solar energy, while the latter ensures a prolonged battery life. Nevertheless, complete implementation of both functions can be complex and costly, especially for low voltage application such as standalone street lamps. In this paper, the operation of a solar battery charger for standalone street light systems is investigated. Using only one voltage sensor, the solar charger is able to operate in both MPPT and constant voltage (CV) charging mode, hence providing high performance at a low cost. Using a lab prototype and a solar simulator, the operation of the charger system is demonstrated and its performance under varying irradiance is validated.

A bidirectional dual active converter with the power factor control capability is proposed as a battery charger. The source side half-bridge acts as a PWM converter that maintains the unity power factor. The battery side half-bridge converter acts as a dual active bridge (DAB) together shares the same DC link voltage with PWM converter. The imbalance voltage phenomenon is eliminated by employing asymmetric duty cycle technique. Simulation results are included to verify theoretical analysis.

A protection integrated circuit which enables the stable operation of the rechargeable battery should be designed with a low-power architecture because it consumes the power of the battery. This paper proposed a low-power scheme especially when the several series-connected batteries are provided. By adopting a time sharing control of the batteries, the chip size and power consumption could be reduced.

To increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic, almost photovoltaic appliances are controlled by Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT). Existing most of the PV MPPT techniques have used power which multiplies sensed output current and voltage of the solar cell. However, these algorithms are unnecessarily complicated and too expensive for small and compact system. The other hand, the proposed MPPT technique is only one sensing of the MPPT converter's output current, so there is no need to insert another sensors of battery side. Therefore, this algorithm is simpler compared to the traditional approach and is suitable for low power solar system. Further, the novel proper charge/discharge algorithm for the battery with PV MPPT is developed. In this algorithm, there is CC battery charge mode and load discharge mode of the PV cell & battery dual. Also we design current control to regulate allowable current during the battery charging. The proposed algorithm will be applicable to battery included solar cell applications like solar lantern and solar remote control car. Finally, the proposed method has been verified with computer simulation.

This study proposes an optimized design of a dual active bridge converter for a low-voltage charger in a military uninterrupted power supply (UPS) system. The dual active bridge converter is among various bi-directional DC/DC converters that possess a high-efficiency isolated bi-directional converter. In the general design, the zero-voltage switching(ZVS) region is reduced when the battery voltage is high. By contrast, efficiency is low because of high conduction losses when the battery voltage is low. Variable switching frequency is applied to increase the ZVS region and the power conversion efficiency, depending on battery voltage changes. At the same duty, the same power is obtained regardless of the battery voltage using the variable switching frequency. The proposed method is applied to a 5 kW prototype dual active bridge converter, and the experimental results are analyzed and verified.

본 논문에서는 이동기기에서 배터리를 고려한 저전력 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 이동기기에서 배터리의 잔량에 따라 태스크를 수행할 수 있도록 소모전력을 줄이는 방법으로 주파수를 변화시킨다. 배터리의 잔량이 수행하고자하는 태스크의 소모 전력보다 작을 경우 태스크를 수행시키기 위해 주파수를 낮춘다. 주파수 조절은 태스크에 따라 전체 시스템에서 사용되는 디바이스들 중에서 가장 높은 주파수를 가진 디바이스를 우선대상으로 수행한다. 주파수의 감소는 두 번째로 큰 주파수를 가진 디바이스의 주파수로 변화하여 소모전력을 계산한다. 계산된 소모전력이 배터리의 잔량보다 클 경우 단계적으로 주파수를 조절하여 소모전력을 낮추며 배터리의 잔량으로 태스크를 수행 할 수 있을 때 까지 주파수를 조절한다. 실험은 주파수를 조절하여 소모 전력을 줄이는 방법을 이용한[6]과 같은 환경에서 배터리의 잔량을 고려하여 태스크를 수행할 수 있도록 주파수를 조절하였다. 실험 결과 [6]에서 수행되지 않는 배터리 잔량에서도 태스크가 동작되는 결과를 나타내었다.

This paper presents the implementation and control methods of a battery simulator. The proposed battery simulator can emulate the dynamic characteristics of any actual battery using the second RC ladder model of the equivalent circuit. Moreover, it can emulate the variation of impedance, which is the result of the change of battery characteristics due to the aging effect. The parameters of the battery simulator can be derived from the sequence of tests of the actual battery or only from the data supplied by the battery manufacturer. Proposed methods for the battery simulator are tested by extensive experiments. Test results show that the proposed battery simulator can emulate not only the dynamic characteristics but also the aging effects of the actual battery in real time.

최근 선박의 환경오염에 대한 규제가 강화됨에 따라 하이브리드형 전력체계를 갖춘 전기 추진 선박과 같은 스마트 선박에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 전기추진선박에서 사용되는 배터리는 차량 등에 사용되는 배터리보다 용량이 크므로, 가격이 높아지고 유지 보수 측면이 중요하게 여겨진다. 선박용 배터리는 일체형으로 제작되어 배터리관리 시스템에 의해 관리되며, 배터리의 유지·보수는 배터리의 교체를 통하여 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 배터리의 용이한 관리를 위해서 예비-셀을 적용한 배터리 모듈과 제어 알고리즘을 설계 및 구현한다. 또한, 전기추진선박 전력 체계 제어에 필요한 데이터를 전력 제어 시스템에 송신 할 수 있도록 제어기를 설계한다. 해당 예비-셀을 적용한 배터리를 사용할 경우 선박 및 배터리 시스템의 안정성이 높아지며, 유지 및 보수 측면에서 이점을 가질 수 있다.

Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) are essential in the future power systems because they can improve power usage efficiency. In this paper, we propose the countermeasure for improving the power quality using coordinated control of BESS(Battery Energy Storage System) on EV connected system. To verify the performance of proposed scheme, we simulate on the actual power system of KEPCO and compare the results of voltage variation, frequency variation, and load factor with those of uncoordinated control. From the simulation results, we confirm that frequency and voltage deviation are significantly reduced with proposed coordinated control of BESS.
