If the Visual Aids(light wave signs) is not supplied the general power it is using solar power system. These power supply systems, the role of the charge/discharge control is very important. Introduction of IT(AIS etc.) for the effective management of the AtoN(Aids to Navigation) is a Visual Aids has been added to the device using the power to charge/discharge control, the need increases. The current charge/discharge controller is attached to the inside of the AtoN and checks on and verification of the maritime environment, depending on the difficulty. In order to resolve these issues in this paper, the Bluetooth module is mounted on the inside of the charge/discharge controller and proposed a possible system monitoring at close range. Advantage of the system implemented is a simple configuration and low installation cost. In addition, it can be applied to a variety of AtoN. Also, it has been able to check the real-time status information of the charge/discharge controller at a short distance in to reduce inspection costs, and reduce risk factors that might occur during check.

This paper deals with stand-alone Photovoltaic system(SPVS) with charge and discharge controller. Main power source of SPVS are generally solar cell and battery. Therefore SPVS can be classified into variable types in accordance with connection method between battery and solar cell array. Mainly used one of them is direct connection type which has advantages such as simple structure and simple controller. However most big drawback of this system is energy loss by voltage disharmony between solar cell array and battery. Therefore SPVS with charge and discharge controller which can operate solar cell array at maximum power point is designed and experimented with a laboratory prototype.

According to the recent report, solar street lamp connected to a non Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) charger, can lead to a system-wide decline in power output with as much as 30%. This paper proposes the charge controller with direct duty ration control for 250W solar street lamp in order to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic from these output power reduction. This paper covers the Pulse Width Modulation(PWM) controller and power conversion topology and analyze the MPPT method for charge controller. The power conversion part consists of push pull converter based on PWM controller using 8bit MCU in order to have lower manufacturing cost. The PWM controller with direct duty ratio control algorithm is constantly tracking the maximum power point of photovoltaic module and increases energy output power. The test results shows 97.1~97.4% MPPT efficiency and the experimental hardware is implemented based on the solar simulator condition for 241W. Thus, the implemented charge controller shows its feasibility for the real application, especially under solar street lamp.

The charge equalizer design for a series connected battery string is very challenging because it needs to satisfy many requirements such as implementation possibility, equalization speed, equalization efficiency, controller complexity, size and cost issues, voltage and current stress, and so on. Numerous algorithms and circuits were developed to meet the above demands and some interesting results have been obtained through them. However, for a large number of cells, for example, eighty or more batteries, the previous approaches might cause problems. Such problems include long equalization time, high controller complexity, bulky size, high implementation cost, and high voltage and current stress. To overcome these circumstances, this paper proposes a charge equalizer design method based on a battery modularization technique. In this method, the number of cells that we consider in an equalizer design procedure can be effectively reduces; thus, designing a charge equalizer becomes much easier. Furthermore, by applying the previously verified charge equalizers to the intramodule and the outer-module, we can obtain easy design of a charge equalizer and good charge balancing performance. Several examples and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the charge equalizer design method.

In this paper, a coordinated state-of-charge (SOC) control strategy for the energy storage system (ESS) operating under microgrid islanded mode to stabilize the frequency and voltage was proposed. The proposed SOC control loop is made up of PI controller, which uses a SOC state of the energy storage system as an input and an auxiliary reference value of secondary control as an output. The SOC controller changes the auxiliary reference value of secondary control to charge or discharge the ESS. To verify the proposed control strategy, PSCAD/EMTDC simulation study was performed. The simulation results show that the SOC of the ESS can be regulated at the desired operating range without degrading the stabilizing control performance by proposed coordinated SOC control method.
