The traction DC feeder cable is one of the key devices for the safety operation of subway system, but for low voltage DC feeder cable (<3000 V) for subway, little attention has been paid by investigators on its online monitoring technology. With an introduction of cable laying and operation environment for the cable, this paper investigated the on-line monitoring technology of 1500 V DC feeder cable of subway. Firstly, in the text, the fault model of 1500 V DC cable was proposed based on the analysis of the fault type of the DC feeder cable, and then put forward synthetically on-line monitoring discharge signal and DC leakage current signal to assess DC feeder cable insulating state. The results of laboratory experiment prove that the proposed methods are feasible and can be implemented on-line monitor on DC feeder cable of subway.

In recent years, many researches for DC power distributed system (PDS) are being preformed and the importance of the DC PDS is more and more emphasized. Furthermore, in the railway system, the DC PDS is used in subway station lighting, facilities, etc. In the DC PDS, DC bus voltage instability may be occurred by the operation of multiple parallel loads such as pulsed power load, motor drive system, and constant power loads. Thus, good quality and high reliability for electric power are required and voltage bus conditioner (VBC) may be used the DC PDS. The VBC is a DC/DC converter for mitigation of the bus transients. In this paper, adaptive controller is designed. The simulation results by PSIM are presented for validating the proposed control algorithm.

In this paper, After the Paris climate conference (COP21) in December 2015, 195 countries adopted the first-ever universal, legally binding global climate deal. As sustained increase of renewable energy and digital load, to implemented and operated Microgrid system's power distribution by DC power distribution. This reduce the loss of power conversion step occurring based on the AC power distribution system and eliminate the loss caused by the reactive power in power distribution system. For this reason, DC Microgrid will be extended to support evidence of National energy policies, Microgrid project status, DC distribution status, and to suggest process of DC power distribution in Microgrid construction project.

Internet Data Centers (IDCs), which are essential facilities in the modern IT industry, typically have scores of MW of concentrated electric loads. The provision of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is necessary for the power feed system of IDCs owing to the need for stable power. Thus, conventional IDC AC power feed systems have three cascaded power conversion stages, (AC-DC), (DC-AC), and (AC-DC), resulting in a very low conversion efficiency. In comparison, DC power feed systems require only a single power conversion stage (AC-DC) to supply AC main power to DC server loads, resulting in comparatively high conversion efficiency and reliability [4-11]. This paper compares the efficiencies of a 220V AC power feed system with those of a 300V DC power feed system under equal load conditions, as established by the Mok-Dong IDC of Korea Telecom Co. Ltd. (KT). Experimental results show that the total operation efficiency of the 300V DC power feed system is approximately 15% higher than that of the 220V AC power feed system.

Input-series-output-parallel (ISOP) modular converters consisting of multiple modular DC/DC converters can enable low voltage rating switches for use in high voltage input applications. In this paper, an input voltage sharing control strategy for input-series-output-parallel (ISOP) full-bridge (FB) DC/DC converters is proposed. By sensing the difference in the input current of two modules, the system can achieve input voltage sharing for DC-DC modules. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by simulation and experimental results obtained with a 200w-50kHz prototype.

본 논문에서는 DC 마이크로그리드(MG) 동작의 신뢰성 및 안정성을 향상시키기 위하여, 주파수 변동을 이용한 새로운 DC bus signaling (DBS) 전략을 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 DBS의 경우 스위칭 리플을 사용하여, DC 버스를 통해 연결된 컨버터 등의 소자가 현재 DC bus의 전력에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있다. DC bus의 전력의 정보는 소비와 생산에 대한 DC bus의 밸런스를 맞추기 위해 사용되고, 이를 통해 각각의 컨버터 동작 영역이 상황에 따라 자동적으로 결정되고, 궁극적으로 자율화 시스템을 구현할 수 있게 된다. 본 논문에서는 DC bus에 나타나는 주파수 성분의 분석 및 변동 전략에 대해 기술하고, 시뮬레이션 및 실험 결과를 통해 제안하고자 하는 알고리즘이 Power Line Communication (PLC) 으로의 가능성과 타당성을 점검하고자 한다.

전기자동차용 급속 충전기에서 전력변환 효율은 절연형 DC-DC 컨버터에 의해 좌우된다. 이때 DC-DC 컨버터의 출력 전압 범위가 넓기 때문에 기존의 3레벨 컨버터를 사용할 경우 충전전압이 낮을 때 순환전류가 커지는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 넓은 충전전압범위를 갖는 전기자동차용 급속충전기를 위한 3레벨 DC-DC 컨버터의 하이브리드 스위칭 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 하이브리드 스위칭 기법은 충전전압이 낮을 때 순환전류를 줄일 수 있어 주로 낮은 배터리 전압에서 동작하는 CC충전 모드 시 도통 손실을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 커플인덕터를 사용하여 순환전류를 줄이고 Lagging Lag 스위치의 ZCS 턴오프를 성취시켜 손실을 줄일 수 있다. 기존의 스위칭 방법과 하이브리드 스위칭 기법에 따른 손실을 비교하여 제안한 스위칭 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.
