In recent years, the power demand has been increasing steadily and the occurrence of maximum power demand has been moving from the summer season to the winter season in Korea. And since the control of electric power supply and demand is more important under those situations, a micro-grid system began to emerge as a keyword for the sTable operation of electric power system. A micro-gird power system is composed of various kinds of distributed generators(DG) such as small diesel generator, wind turbine, photo-voltaic generator and energy storage system(ESS). This paper introduces a method to determine the optimal capacities of the distributed generators which are installed in a stand-alone type of microgrid power system based on the fundamental proportion of diesel generator. At first, the fundamental proportion of diesel generator will be determined by changing from 0 to 50 percent. And then we will optimize the capacities of renewable energy resources and ESS according to load patterns. Lastly, after recalculating the capacity of ESS with consideration for SOC constraints, the optimal capacities of distributed generators will be decided.

A conventional method to improve transient stability in power system is the use of reactive power compensation devices such as STATCOM and SVC. However, this traditional method cannot prevent a rapid voltage collapse brought on by motors stalling due to system fault. On the other hand, ESS(Energy Storage System) provides fast-acting, flexible reactive and active power control. The fast active power compensation with energy storage system plays a significant role in transient stability enhancement after a major fault of power system. In this paper, transient stability enhancement method by using energy storage system is proposed for the power system including a dynamic load such as large motor. The effectiveness of energy storage system compared to conventional devices in enhancing transient stability of power system is presented. The results of simulations show that the simultaneous injection of active and reactive power can enhance more effectively transient stability.

Recently the Paris Climate Change Accord has been officially put into effect, making global efforts to implement Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reductions, and also International environmental regulations in the automotive sector will be further strengthened. The electric vehicle, which minimizes the particulate matter generated by existing internal combustion engine automobiles, is evaluated as a representative eco-friendly automobile. However, charging the battery of an electric vehicle is not fully environment-friendly if it is fueled by electricity that is being generated by fossil fuels as an energy source. The energy generated by the photovoltaic power generation system, which is an infinite clean energy, can be used to charge an electric vehicle's battery. Currently, shortage of charging facilities, time of charging, and high battery prices are the problem of activating the supply of electric vehicles. This study is to build a conjunction between the EVBSS (Electric Vehicle Battery Supply System) and ESS (Energy Storage System), which can quickly supply the photovoltaic charged battery to the required demand. If the charged battery in the Battery Swapping Station (BSS) is swapped swiftly, it will dramatically shorten the waiting time for charging the battery. As a result, if the battery is rented when it is needed, electric vehicles can be sold without the cost of a battery, which accounts for a large portion of the total cost, then the supply of electric vehicles are expected to expand. Furthermore, it will be an important alternative to maneuver climate change by minimizing GHG emissions from internal combustion engine vehicles.

최근 풍력 및 태양광 발전과 같은 분산전원 시스템의 설비가 증가함에 따라 전력 생산자가 늘어나고 있으며 발전량이 불규칙적인 신재생에너지 자원을 전력 수요에 따라 효율적으로 운용하고 관리하기 위한 에너지 저장장치(Energy storage system : ESS)의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 최근에는 기존의 중앙집중 방식의 전력 시스템이 가지는 여러 문제를 해결하기 위해 여러 분산 발전 요소들과 에너지 저장장치, 부하 및 계통을 상호 연결한 마이크로그리드의 개념이 제안되고 있다. 마이크로그리드 내에서 분산전원과 계통에 ESS가 연계 되면 전력수급 상황에 따라 잉여전력이 발생할 때 전력을 저장할 수 있으며 전력수요가 클 때 저장된 전력을 부하에 공급하여 전력설비를 보다 안정적이고 효율적으로 운용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 풍력발전 시스템, 양방향 충/방전이 가능한 ESS, 부하 및 계통이 연계된 마이크로그리드를 대상으로 이를 효율적으로 운용하고 계통전력 사용을 최소화 할 수 있는 독립형 마이크로그리드의 자율적 제어기법에 대한 연구를 수행한다. 전력수급 상황에 따라 각 요소들의 운전 모드를 결정하는 기법이 제시되고 각 동작 모드에서의 분석 및 시뮬레이션에 의한 검증을 통하여 본 제어기법의 효용성을 입증한다.

Owing to the rapid climate change, a high-performance energy storage system (ESS) for efficient energy consumption has been receiving considerable attention. ESS, such as capacitors, usually has issues with the ion diffusion of electrode materials, resulting in a decrease in their capacitance. Notably, appropriate pore diameter and large specific surface area (SSA) may result in an effective ion diffusion. Therefore, graphene and multi-walled carbon nanotube (graphene@MWCNT) hybrid nanomaterials, with covalent bonds between the graphene and MWCNT, were prepared via an edge-chemistry reaction. The properties of these materials, such as high porosity, large SSA, and high electroconductivity, make them suitable to be used as electrode materials for capacitors. The optimal ratio of graphene to MWCNT can affect the electrochemical performance of the electrode material based on its physical and electrochemical properties. The supercapacitor using optimal graphene-based hybrid electrode material exhibited highest specific capacitance value as 158 F/g and excellent cycle stability.

In the case of urban railway facilities, the power supply should be maintained for the safe movement of passengers in communication facilities, disaster prevention facilities and boarding area security because of the confusion when power supply is cut off due to the nature of public transportation. In addition, considering that the number of trains is running on the urban railway line, it is necessary to operate at least 30 minutes for the bus stop and at least 1 hour for the communication and disaster prevention facilities. Therefore, it is essential to supply emergency power source to maintain stable operation of induction lamp and smoke exhaust system because main power is cut off in order to prevent further spread due to fire in case of the history of urban railway section or vehicle fires. Recently, UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply) function to prevent power outage in emergency, emergency power generation combined with ESS function which saves electricity at nighttime price time, A hybrid power storage system with a UPS function.

3kWh 급 가정용 Energy Storage System (ESS)는 배터리 팩의 수명 관리상 배터리팩의 전압을 48V의 공칭전압으로 설계하는 것이 일반적이다. 상용 변압기를 사용하여 48V의 낮은 직류 링크 전압을 갖는 ESS를 220V 교류 계통과 연계하기 위하여는 30V 정도의 낮은 인버터 출력단 교류전압을 220V로 승압하여야 한다. 이 경우 ESS의 교류 측 전압 및 전류 파형을 정형적으로 만들어주기 위한 LC 필터 요소로서 저전압/대전류 용 필터 인덕터를 제작하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 다시 말해, 성능이 보장된다면 교류 측 LC 필터를 상용 변압기의 고전압 측에 설치하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 논문에서는 상용 변압기를 사용하는 가정용 ESS의 교류 측 필터의 설치 위치에 따른 설계 및 제작 시 고려 사항과 특성에 대하여 연구하였다.
