It is necessary to charge electric vehicles in order to drive them. Thus, it is essential to have electric vehicle charging facilities in place. In the case of a household battery charger, the power similar to that consumed by a household with a basic contract power of 3kW is consumed. In addition, many consumers who own an electric vehicle will charge their vehicles at the same time. The simultaneous charging of electric vehicles will cause the load to increase, which then will lead to the imbalance of supply and demand in the distribution system. Thus, a smart charging scheme for electric vehicles is an essential element. In this paper, simulated conditions were set up using real data relating to Korea in order to design a smart charging technique suitable for the actual situation. The simulated conditions were used to present a smart charging technique for electric vehicles that disperses electric vehicles being charged simultaneously. The EVs and Smart Charging Technique are modeled using the Electro Magnetic Transients Program (EMTP).

일반적으로 무선(비접촉식) 충전 장치는 Ferrosilicon 혹은 Ferrite 와 같은 코어를 사용하여 충전 효율을 높이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 무선충전 장치에 있어서 투자율이 더 높은 Permalloy를 이용하여 비접촉방식 충전 효율을 극대화한 무선 전력송신 기술을 제안한다. 기존의 Ferrosilicon 혹은 Ferrite 코어 재료보다 Permalloy를 이용할 경우 높은 효율의 투자율을 얻을 수 있으며 기존 비접촉식 충전 기술과의 비교 실험을 통해 더 높은 충전 효율과 무선 충전 거리를 확보할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 무선 전력송신 기술은 향후 소형 휴대용 충전기기에 유용하게 적용 할 수 있을 것이다.

A wireless power transfer technique can solve the power capacity problem in wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs). The charging strategy is a wide-spread research problem. In this paper, we propose a demand-based charging strategy (DBCS) for WRSNs. We improved the charging programming in four ways: clustering method, selecting to-be-charged nodes, charging path, and charging schedule. First, we proposed a multipoint improved K-means (MIKmeans) clustering algorithm to balance the energy consumption, which can group nodes based on location, residual energy, and historical contribution. Second, the dynamic selection algorithm for charging nodes (DSACN) was proposed to select on-demand charging nodes. Third, we designed simulated annealing based on performance and efficiency (SABPE) to optimize the charging path for a mobile charging vehicle (MCV) and reduce the charging time. Last, we proposed the DBCS to enhance the efficiency of the MCV. Simulations reveal that the strategy can achieve better performance in terms of reducing the charging path, thus increasing communication effectiveness and residual energy utility.

The proposed battery charger presented in this paper is suitable for Lead-Acid Battery and the dc/dc buck converter topology is applied as a charger circuit. The technique adopted in this charger is constant current & constant voltage dual mode, which is decided by the value of voltage of proposed battery. Automatic mode change function is detected by the percentage value of level of battery charging. CC Mode (Constant Current Mode) is operated when charging level is below 80% of the total charging of Battery voltage and above 80% of battery voltage charging, CV Mode (Constant Voltage Mode) is automatically operated. As the charging level exceeds 120%, it automatically terminates charging. The feedback signal to the PWM generator for charging the battery is controlled by using the current and voltage measurement circuits simultaneously. This technique will degrade the damage of proposed type of battery and improve the power efficiency of charger. Finally, a prototype charger circuit designed for a 12-V 7-Ah lead acid battery is constructed and tested to confirm the theoretical predictions. Satisfactory performance is obtained from simulation and the experimental results.

In this paper, proposed a multi-channel charging control strategy for electric vehicle. This control strategy can adjust the charging power according to the calculated state-of-charge (SOC). Electric vehicle (EV) charging system using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed. A stochastic optimization algorithm technique such as PSO in the time-of-use (TOU) price used for the energy cost minimization. Simulation results show that the energy cost can be reduced using proposed method.

Effects of electric force on the morphology and growth of aggregates were studied experimentally. Nano-sized NaCl particles were supplied to a flame to perform the unipolar charging state. This electric precursor did not modify a temperature profile of the flame. The morphology of aggregates was measured by TEM image processing technique and the light scattering technique. In the unipolar charged state, the fractal dimension of aggregates was smaller than that of' the electrically neutral state. This result was in good agreement with our previous numerical simulations.

Embrittlement of material by hydrogen charging should be cleared for safety of storage vessel of hydrogen and components deal with hydrogen. A stainless steel is generally used as materials for hydrogen transportation and storage, and it has a big advantage of corrosion resistance due to nickel component in material. In this study, microscopic damage behavior of stainless steel according to the hydrogen charging time using nondestructive evaluation was studied. The surface of stainless steel became more brittle as the hydrogen charging time increased. The parameters of nondestructive evaluation were also changed with the embrittlement of stainless steel surface by hydrogen charging. Ultrasonic test, which is the most generalized nondestructive technique, was applied to evaluate the relationship between the ultrasonic wave and mechanical properties of stainless steel by hydrogen charging. The attenuation coefficient of ultrasonic wave was increased with hydrogen charging time because of surface embrittlement of stainless steel. In addition, acoustic emission test was also used to study the dynamic behavior of stainless steel experienced hydrogen charging. AE event at the hydrogen charged specimen was obviously decreased at the plastic zone of stress-strain curves, while the number of event for the specimen of hydrogen free was dramatically generated when compared with the specimens underwent hydrogen charging.

충전기 인프라 시설은 일정한 전력 공급량을 기반으로 설계 및 설치되어 있다. 초기 설계된 충전 시설은 급속히 성장하는 전기 차량의 충전을 한정된 공급 전력량 기반으로 지원한다. 또한, 현재 상용차량은 완전 충전만 가능하며, 급속 균등 충전 방식으로 지원된다. 하지만 상용차량은 정해진 스케줄에 따라 운영되기에 탄력적인 충전이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 전기 차량의 급속한 성장 및 증가에 따라 동일 전력량을 기반으로 상용 버스의 고정 스케줄 기반 충전 스케쥴링 및 전력 분배 기법을 활용하여 20%이상 효율 향상된 전력 운영방안을 제시한다.

전기자동차 배터리 셀들 간의 불균형 충전 문제를 해결하기 위해, 직병렬 하이브리드 충전 구조를 개발하였다. 이 방법은 직렬 부분에 의해 주 충전이 수행되며 병렬 부분에 의해 밸런싱이 수행되는데, 이 때, 직렬 부분은 부피가 크고 무겁지만 병렬 부분은 직렬 부분보다 작고 가볍다. 개별 배터리 셀 전압을 측정하기 위한 센서 어레이, 듀티비 제어를 포함한 IGBT, 그리고 배터리 관리 시스템은 제안된 시스템의 핵심 요소이다.

최근 해양 시설물용 복합 발전 시스템 개발에 관한 많은 연구가 수행되고 있다. 일반적으로 해양시설물에 사용되는 독립형 전력 공급 시스템은 날씨에 상당히 많은 영향을 받게 된다. 이러한 전력 공급시스템의 효율성을 높이기 위하여 다양한 스위칭 알고리즘을 이용한 충전 기법이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 레벨 방식을 적용한 전력 시스템의 충전 방식을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 결과를 제시하였다. 다중 레벨 방식의 충전기법을 시뮬레이션한 장치의 실험 결과와 기존에 사용 중인 전력 공급 시스템의 실험 결과를 비교하여 나타내었다. 그 결과, 다중 레벨 방식의 충전기법을 이용하는 경우에 기상 조건에 따라 충전 전력은 5~11%, 충전 가능 시간은 7~47% 정도 향상되었음을 확인하였다.
