지난 수년 간 다량으로 배출되고 있는 폐 배터리를 에너지 저장장치(ESS)로서 재활용하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 ESS 시스템에는 사용하는 배터리마다의 규격이나 이전 사용 시 수명, 배출 시 상태의 차이가 존재하기 때문에 각 배터리 간 셀밸런싱 시스템이 필수로 요구된다. 현재까지 직렬형, 병렬형 등이 연구되고 있지만 모듈화나 신뢰성 등을 만족 시키기 위해서는 병렬형이 유리하다. 본 논문에서는 양방향 리니어 레귤레이터를 사용하며 셀 벨런싱 회로가 없는 병렬형 충방전 시스템을 제안하고자 한다.

Due to enhanced demands on quality, security and reliability of the electric power energy system, a microgrid has become a subject of special interest. In this paper, output characteristics of energy storage system (ESS) with an electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) and battery energy storage system (BESS) of a renewable energy based microgrid were analyzed under grid-connected and islanded operation modes. The microgrid which consists of photovoltaic and wind power turbine generators, diesel generator, ESS with an EDLC, BESS and loads was modeled using real time digital simulator. The results present the effective control patterns of the microgrid system.

As the distributed power system with PV and ESS is highlighted to be one of the most prominent structure to replace the traditional electric power system, power flow scheduling is expected to bring better system efficiency. Optimal energy management system (EMS) where the power from PV and the grid is managed in time-domain using ESS needs an optimization process. In this paper, main optimization method is implemented using dynamic programming (DP). To overcome the drawback of DP in which ideal future information is required, prediction stage precedes every EMS execution. A simple auto-regressive moving-average (ARMA) forecasting followed by a PI-controller updates the prediction data. Assessment of the on-line optimal EMS scheme has been evaluated on several cases.

Many studies have been performed to reduce electric consumption in railway systems. Due to its low conduction loss and high regenerative braking efficiency characteristics, the ESS powered railway system is chosen as a promising candidate for future railway systems. This paper introduces the ESS powered railway system and analyzes current power charge calculation methods that have been set up by KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation). Based on the analysis, this paper proposes two different power charge reduction methods for the railway system. One is to smooth the peaks of traction energy consumption by supplying additional energy to the grid. The other is to save electric charge by reducing electric energy consumed by the railway during the energy peak time, 2 p.m.~5 p.m., which has highest 'Won/kWh' rates. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the power charge of Seoul Metro Line 2 is recalculated using the method.

In this study, the system was composed of the booster chopper and the power converter, which is a pulse width modulation (PWM) voltage inverter using a hybrid power generation system solar cell energy and wind force, Furthermore, in order to compensate the PWM voltage type inverter was linked with the general commercial power source, and through a normal operation of energy storage system (ESS), the system operated the LED Taxi Light by Wavelength according to Meteorological Changes at the airport in an efficient manner. The performance of the system was compared with the solar cell characteristics specification. In addition, for phase synchronization with the PWM voltage type inverter, the grid voltage was detected so as to operate the grid voltage and inverter output in the same phase and to connect the surplus electric power with the system. Finally, by developing a control circuit at the same time from which an excellent dynamic characteristics can be obtained through applying to the airport runway taxi light, it was concluded that a variety of taxi light can be pursued.

When a large-scale photovoltaic (PV) system is introduced into a distribution system, the customer's voltage may exceed the allowable limit ($220V{\pm}6%$) due to voltage variations and reverse power flow in the PV system. In order to solve this problem, we propose a method for adjusting the customer voltage using the existing step voltage regulator (SVR) installed in the primary feeder. However, due to the characteristics of a mechanically operating SVR, the customer voltage during the tap changing time of the SVR is likely to deviate from the allowable limit. In this paper, an energy storage system (ESS) with optimal operation strategies, and an appropriate capacity calculation algorithm are proposed, and the parallel driving scheme between the SVR and the ESS is also proposed to solve the customer voltage problem that may occur during the tap changing time of the SVR. The simulation results show that the allowable limit of the customer voltage is verified by the proposed methods during the tap changing time of the SVR when the large-scale PV system is connected to the distribution system.

The purpose of this paper is to deduct components that are in the group of highest risk(top 10%). the group is conducted for classification into groups by values according to risk priority through risk priority number(RPN) of FMEA(Failure modes and effects analysis) sheet. Top 10% of failure mode among total potential failure modes(72 failure modes) of ESS included 5 BMS(battery included) failure modes, 1 invert failure mode, and 1 cable connectors failure mode in which BMS was highest. This is because ESS is connected to module, try, and lack in the battery part as an assembly of electronic information communication and is managed. BMS is mainly composed of the battery module and communication module. There is a junction box and numerous connectors that connect these two in which failure occurs most in the connector part and module itself. Finally, this paper proposes RPN by each step from the starting step of ESS design to installation and operation. Blackouts and electrical disasters can be prevented beforehand by managing and removing the deducted risk factors in prior.

지난 5월 28일 국무회의에서 박근혜 대통령은 "과학기술을 통한 에너지 효율성을 제고하거나 낭비를 막는 방법도 있고 스마트 그리드 같은 IT기술을 이용해서 실시간으로 자신이 얼마를 소모하는지 알려줌으로써 스스로 아껴 쓸 수 있는 방법이 있는데, 그런 방안도 적극 연구해 달라"고 당부했다. 실제로 우리 산업은 현재 ICT기술과 전력시장을 창조적으로 융합하여 새로운 시장을 형성하고, 이를 통해 신(新)성장동력, 신(新)서비스업을 육성해야 하는 시점에 직면해 있다. 전력공급에 소요되는 사회적 비용이 급증하여 빠른 속도로 증가하는 수요를 충족시키는데 많은 어려움이 있는 것도 사실이다. 늘어나는 수요에 따라 공급을 확대하는 공급중심 정책에서 합리적으로 수요를 줄인 후 공급을 확대하는 수요관리 중심의 정책으로 전환이 필요한 때이다. * 연평균 전력소비증가율('00~'10년, %) : 한국 5.3('10년 10.1), 일본 0.2, 미국 0.7, OECD 평균 1.0 최근 다각도로 전력 사용을 줄이기 위한 이벤트가 실시되고 있는데 실내온도 제한 등 일시적 절약에서 벗어나, 세계적 수준의 우리 ICT기술을 활용하여 근본적이고 시스템적인 수요관리 추진이 필요하다. 한편 전력수급 위기를 새로운 시장창출의 기회로 만드는 발상의 전환을 통해 창조경제시대의 신성장동력과 일자리를 창출하게 되는 기회가 될 수 있다. 이는 전통적인 에너지산업에 2차전지산업, 소프트웨어 산업을 융합하여 ESS, EMS, LED 등 ICT기반 에너지 신산업 시장 진출을 의미한다. 이번호에서는 ESS(Energy Storage System)라고 불리는 에너지저장장치에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

This paper presents the criteria for setting the dynamic operating mode of BESS(Battery Energy Storage System) in the bulk power systems. ESS has been expected to improve the degraded dynamic performance of the power system with high penetration of the renewable resources. While ESS is controlled in steady state or dynamic operating mode for its better effectiveness depending on the operating conditions of power systems, the criteria for setting the dynamic operating mode for the transient period needs to be robust enough to cover all the different conditions. The proposed criteria consider the varying conditions and the operating practices of the bulk power systems.
