본 논문에서의 병렬제어를 이용한 8kW급 대용량 영전압/영전류 풀 브릿지 DC-DC 컨버터의 개발 결과를 보인다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 시스템 구성을 위해 4-병렬 단위 모듈 운전을 제안한다. 각 단위모듈은 위상 천이 풀 브릿지를 채택하고, ZVZCS 운전을 위해 간단한 보조 회로를 2차측에 추가하였다. ZCS를 위한 보조 회로 동작 로직은 환류 모드 구간에서 1차측 전류를 제거하도록 구현하였다. 또한 병렬 운전시의 출력 전류의 균등 제어를 위해 위상천이로직을 활용한 Charge Control 방식을 적용하였다. 전압 제어기는 DSP TMS320LF2406을 활용하여 4 모듈의 출력전류 및 출력전압을 A/D로 입력받아 구현하였다. 개발된 컨버터는 차량에 설치되는 고속 발전기용 전력 변환기에 장착되었으며, 구축된 모니터링 시스템으로 고속 발전기의 실제 운전 조건에서 데이터를 획득하여, 분석을 통해 그 성능을 입증하였다.

This paper introduces the propulsion system for Korean High Speed Railway(HSR). The developed propulsion system consists of PWM AC/DC converter and inverter. Compared with TGV-K, converters can improve input harmonics characteristics by the interlaced PW switching methods. And several merits such as unity power factor and simple regenerative operations can be also made. As a main power component, IGCT stack with suitable structure for high speed train and environmentally friendly cooling heat pipe is designed. In this paper, overall configuration of controller and control scheme is briefly described. Finally running tests are made to verify the developed propulsion system. The presented test results shows fast torque response, balanced converter current sharing, and appropriate running sequence.

Droop control schemes have been widely employed in the control strategies for Multi-Terminal Direct Current (MTDC) system for its high reliability. Under the conventional DC voltage-active power droop control, the droop slope applies a proportional relationship between DC voltage error and active power error for power sharing. Due to the existence of DC network impedance and renewable resource fluctuation, there is inevitably a DC voltage deviation from the droop characteristic, which in turn results in inaccurate control of converter's power. To tackle this issue, a piecewise droop control with DC voltage dead band or active power dead band is implemented into controller design. Besides, an advanced droop control scheme with versatile function is proposed, which enables the converter to regulate DC voltage and AC voltage, control active and reactive power, get participated into frequency control, and feed passive network. The effectiveness of the proposed control method has been verified by simulation results.

This paper proposes the 80-kW high-efficiency bidirectional hybrid SiC boost/buck converter using droop control for DC nano-grid. The proposed converter consists of four 20-kW modules to achieve fault tolerance, ease of thermal management, and reduced component stress. Each module is constructed as a cascaded structure of the two basic bi-directional converters, namely, interleaved boost and buck converters. A six-pack hybrid SiC intelligent power module (IPM) suitable for the proposed cascaded structure is adopted for high-efficiency and compactness. The proposed converter with hybrid switching method reduces the switching loss by minimizing switching of insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). Each module control achieves smooth transfer from buck to boost operation and vice versa, since current controller switchover is not necessary. Furthermore, the proposed parallel control using DC droop with secondary control, enhances the current sharing accuracy while well regulating the DC bus voltage. A 20-kW prototype of the proposed converter has been developed and verified with experiments and indicates a 99.3% maximum efficiency and 98.8% rated efficiency.

The agricultural environment is changing and becoming more advanced due to the influence of the 4th Industrial Revolution. From the basic plan of Rural Informatics to the current level of 2nd generation smart farms aimed at improving productivity using Big data, cloud network and more IoT technology. We are continuing to provide support and research and development. However, many problems remain to be solved in order to supply and settle smart farms in Korea. The purpose of this study is to provide a method of collecting and sharing data on farming environment and to help improve the income and productivity of farmers based on collected data. In the case of hog farm, the multiple sensors for environmental data like temperature, humidity and gases and the network environment for connecting the internet were established. The environment sensor was made using the ESP8266 Node MCU board as micro-controller, DHT22 sensor for temperature and humidity, and MQ series sensors for various gases in the hog pens. The network sensor was applied experimentally for one month and the environmental data of the hog farm was stored on a web database. This study is expected to raise the importance of collecting and managing the agricultural and environmental data, for the next generation farmers to understand the smart farm more easily and to try it by themselves.
