본 논문에서는 DC droop control을 적용한 80kW급 SiC 양방향 컨버터를 제안한다. 시스템은 20kW 모듈 4개를 이용하는 모듈형 컨버터이며, 토폴로지는 넓은 입력전압 범위를 만족하기 위하여 Cascade 부스트-벅 컨버터 구조이다. 모듈 컨버터의 제어는 모듈 간 통신이 필요 없는 DC droop control에 부하분담과 전압 regulation 성능을 모두 향상시키기 위하여 Secondary control을 적용했다. 제안하는 시스템의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 20kW급 시작품 2대 실험을 통해 병렬 운전을 검증하였으며, 14kW에서 최고 효율 98.9%를 달성하였다.

본 논문에서는 DC Nano-grid를 위한 25kW급 고효율 양방향 컨버터를 개발하였다. 제안하는 양방향 컨버터는 넓은 입력전압 범위를 만족하기 위하여 Cascade 부스트-벅 컨버터의 구조로 하였으며 상용화된 SiC MosFET기반 3레그 IPM을 최적으로 사용하기 위해 2상 인터리빙 부스트 컨버터와 단상 벅 컨버터로 하였다. 또한 승 강압 모드에 따라 스위칭하는 스위치 개수를 감소시켜 스위칭 손실을 최소화 하였다. 25kW 시작품을 통해 14kW에서 효율 98.9%를 달성하였다.

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 switching noise in the power electronics of the power conversion equipment (Power Conditioning System) for large energy storage devices are generated. Since the burst-level transient noise from being generated in the power system at a higher power change process influences the control circuit of the low voltage driver circuit. Noise may cause the malfunction of the control device even if no dielectric breakdown leads to a control circuit. To overcome this, this paper proposes the installation of an additional nano-surge protection device on the power supply DC output circuit of the battery management unit.
