Although the demand for electricity has been increasing these days, it becomes more difficult to find new sites for large-scale power generation plants near urban areas due to environmental and economic issues. Therefore, new power plants are forced off to rural or desolate coastal areas. As a result, there is significant regional imbalance in power generation and consumption between urban and rural areas in South Korea. This paper investigates the feasibility of high-voltage DC (HVDC) system as a candidate for electric power transmission system from east-coastal sites to metropolitan area. To this end, this paper analyzes transient stability and dynamic impact of a HVDC transmission system and compares the results to conventional high-voltage AC (HVAC) transmission systems via PSS/E simulation. This paper also examines the effect of HVDC system to voltage variation and low-frequency resonance in the neighboring buses in the grid using ESCR(Effective Short Circuit Ratio)과 UIF(Unit Interaction Factor) indices.

In northeast Asia, there will be several important HVDC transmission lines to be established in Korea and China for perspective electric network market. 5500V 4-inches High voltage thyristor can be used in the DC transmission and distribution of electric power system. In this application, many thyristors are connected in series for each thyristor valves. Therefore, the required low reverse-recovery charge QRR and low on-state voltage drop $V_{TM}$ for such thyristor is necessary to this application. In our work, the on-state and off-state voltage performance was simulated by commercial simulation software.

Offshore wind farms are rapidly growing owing to their comparatively more stable wind conditions than onshore and land-based wind farms. The power capacity of offshore wind turbines has been increased to 5MW in order to capture a larger amount of wind energy, which results in an increase of each component's size. Furthermore, the weight of the marine turbine components installed in the nacelle directly influences the total mechanical design, as well as the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. A reduction in the weight of the nacelle allows for cost-effective tower and foundation structures. On the other hand, longer transmission distances from an offshore wind turbine to the load leads to higher energy losses. In this regard, DC transmission is more useful than AC transmission in terms of efficiency because no reactive power is generated/consumed by DC transmission cables. This paper describes some of the challenges and difficulties faced in designing high-power-density power conversion systems (HPDPCSs) for offshore wind turbines. A new approach for high gain/high voltage systems is introduced using transformerless power conversion technologies. Finally, the proposed converter is evaluated in terms of step-up conversion ratio, device number, modulation, and costs.

태양 에너지는 재생 가능하고 오염이 없는 특성으로 바람직한 에너지 원이다. 계통에 이용하기 위해서는 dc-dc 컨버터와 계통 연계 do-ac 인버터가 필요하다. dc-dc 컨버터는 태양광 시스템이 높은 dc전압에 동작하기 위하여 필요하고, 인버터는 계통에 연결하기 위하여 필요한 전압과 주파수를 만들어 내는데 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 첫째로 단상 계통 연계 인버터에서 전류 루프 전달 함수가 유도되고, 둘째로 컨버터 측에서 컨덕턴스 증가 방식의 MPPT 방식이 제안하여 인버터 측에 최대 전력을 공급하는데 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과가 계통에서 태양광 인버터 시스템의 성능과 특성을 보여준다.

Fault current limiters (FCL) are extensively needed to suppress fault currents, especially for trunk power systems heavily connected to high voltage/large current transmission lines. Due to its ideal electrical behavior, high-temperature superconductor fault current limiter (HTSFCL) becomes one of the most important developing trends of limiters in power system. This paper describes the result of an investigation of the dielectric characteristics of turn-to-turn insulation for pancake and solenoid type reactor coil in liquid nitrogen. The influence of thickness in a variety length, on AC, DC and impulse surface flashover has been investigated. Also, the relationships between the number of turn and breakdown characteristics were clarified. The information gathered in this test series should be helpful in the design of liquid nitrogen filled DC reactor type HTSFCL.

대용량 전력변환기기인 멀티-레벨 컨버터는 전동기구동시스템 및 유연송전시스템 등에 널리 사용되고 있다. 이중 H-Bridge 컨버터는 캐스캐이드 형태를 사용하여 멀티-레벨로의 확장이 용이한 장점으로 인해 shunt형 기기로 점차 응용이 확대되고 있다. 정상 상태에서 대략 0.7∼0.8의 변조지수 범위에서 작동한다. 고변조지수에서는 부스트 벡터인 zero vector가 인가되지 않아도 DC-link 전압은 일정하게 유지된다. 이것은 3-레벨 컨버터의 여러 벡터 중 zero vector 이외에도 또 다른 boost vector가 존재한다는 것을 의미한다. 본 논문은 boost vector의 원리를 살펴보고 3레벨 컨버터에서 zero vector와 또 다른 boost vector와의 차이점을 고찰하였다. 또한 본 논문은 두 토폴로지의 충전 전류와 커패시터 전압을 해석하고 비교한다 이 전압과 전류는 스위칭 상태와 기준전압과 관련되어 있고 이것을 이용하여 각 커패시터의 충전전류와 전압리플에 대한 계산 방법을 제안하였고 다양한 DC-Link 전압제어 방법을 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교하였다.

High voltage direct current transmission based on modular multilevel converter (MMC-HVDC) is one of the most promising power transmission technologies. In this study, the mathematical characteristics of MMC-HVDC are analyzed in a synchronous rotational reference frame. A hybrid current vector controller based on proportional integer plus resonant is used to uniformly control the DC and double-base frequency AC currents under unbalanced grid voltage conditions. A corresponding voltage dependent current order limiter is then designed to solve the overcurrent problems that may occur. Moreover, the circulating current sequence components are thoroughly examined and controlled using a developed circulating current suppressor. Simulation results verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed control schemes.

Recently, DC-based power system is being paid attention as the solution for energy efficiency. As the example, HVDC (High Voltage DC) transmission system is utilized in the real power system. On the other hand, researches on LVDC (Low Voltage DC) distribution system, which are including digital loads, are not enough. In this paper, reliability in LVDC distribution system is analyzed according to the specific characteristics such as the arrangement of DC/DC converters and the number of poles. Furthermore, power quality is also taken account of since LVDC distribution system includes multiple sensitive loads and electric power converters. In order to achieve this, LVDC distribution systems are modeled using ElectroMagnetic Transient Program (EMTP) and both the minimal cut-set method and Customer Interruption Cost (CIC) are used in the reliability analysis.

In this paper, we studied the charging characteristics of high-capacity supercapacitor with high current for RF wireless charging system for smart phone charging. The dc output of the RF-DC receiver is connected to supercapacitor after which is connected to DC-DC converter for charging a smart phone. This configuration stably supplies voltage and current for charging it. Studies show that the higher charging current use, the rapidly shorter the charging time of supercapacitor is. The currents of 2A, 10A and 27A were used for charging supercapacitors. The charging time was measured for 3000F, 6000F, 12000F supercapacitors which is parallelly connected with 3000F supercapacitors.
