Power Control and Distribution Unit (PCDU) plays roles of power generation control for solar array panel, power storage control for battery system, power conversion for unregulated and regulated primary bus and power distribution to bus and payload system. The selection and design of the proper auxiliary power interface for PCDU depending on various mission is one of the most important step for electrical power subsystem design. In this paper, the general design approach of auxiliary power interface for PCDU which can be used for small-sized LEO satellites application is given. And, the auxiliary power design concept for always alived modules such as solar array regulator and house keeping module is also suggested.

Recently, as the number of years of operation has increased for more than 30 years, interest in evaluating the remaining life of major power facilities such as transformers and ultra-high voltage cables is increasing. In particular, the risk of failure is increasing because the underground transmission XLPE cable has been built since 1980 and has been operating in excess of 30 years of design life or close proximity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an algorithm to evaluate the residual life of the XLPE cable considering the load to determine the risk of failure. Since load data is large amount of data, it is necessary to make the variable load information equivalent to the time unit first in order to calculate the remaining life of the system quickly. In overseas literature, transformers are reported to be standardized for variable load equivalent conversion formulas, but they have not been reported for ultra-high voltage cables. Therefore, in this paper, whether the equivalent conversion formula of a transformer can be applied to XLPE cables was reviewed through accelerated degradation tests under equivalent and variable temperature conditions, and considerations were studied when evaluating the remaining operating life of XLPE cables based on the experimental results.

In 2011, an earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing simultaneous accidents in several reactors. This accident shows us that if there are several reactors on site, the seismic risk to multiple units is important to consider, in addition to that to single units in isolation. When a seismic event occurs, a seismic-failure correlation exists between the nuclear power plant's structures, systems, and components (SSCs) due to their seismic-response and seismic-capacity correlations. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the multi-unit seismic risk by considering the SSCs' seismic-failure-correlation effect. In this study, a methodology is proposed to obtain the seismic-response-correlation coefficient between SSCs to calculate the risk to multi-unit facilities. This coefficient is calculated from a probabilistic multi-unit seismic-response analysis. The seismic-response and seismic-failure-correlation coefficients of the emergency diesel generators installed within the units are successfully derived via the proposed method. In addition, the distribution of the seismic-response-correlation coefficient was observed as a function of the distance between SSCs of various dynamic characteristics. It is demonstrated that the proposed methodology can reasonably derive the seismic-response-correlation coefficient between SSCs, which is the input data for multi-unit seismic probabilistic safety assessment.

This paper deals with a $3{\phi}$ rectifier unit for telecommunication system. The rectifier unit is developed to Cope with the step-up of the AC input voltatage from 220V to 380V. By using a buck-type converter in the front-end, it keeps the input power factor high and reduces the voltage ripple in the dc output. It also has a very wide voltage regulation range, which lets the unit be applied for both the 220V and 380V input system. The study includes the power conversion scheme, control strategy, snubber circuit and finally, experimental results.

A new junction-splitting based SAR ADC with a redundant searching capacitor array structure in $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS process to alleviate capacitor mismatch effects, is presented. The normalized average power has a factor of 0.35 to the conventional SAR ADC at 10-bit conversion accuracy. Statistical experiments show the number of missing codes resulting from the mismatch reduces by 95% for 3% unit-capacitor mismatch ratio, while keeping the conversion energy to that of the conventional JS capacitor array.

본 논문은 소형 항공용 엔진에 적용되는 영구자석 발전기와 단극 발전기의 특성을 기술한다. 영구자석 발전기는 소형화와 빠른 동특성을 장점으로 갖는데, 빠른 동특성은 전적으로 DC/DC 컨버터의 특성에 따르며, 이러한 컨버터는 부피 및 비용의 증가를 가져온다. 반면, 단극 발전기는 계자권선의 자속제어를 통한 단순한 전압제어가 장점이다. 최근, 전자부하들의 넓은 입력전압 범위와 시스템 효율성 등을 고려해 DC/DC 컨버터 없는 영구자석 발전기가 추천된다.

Photovoltaic energy and wind energy are highly dependent on the season, time and extremely intermittent energy sources. Because of these reasons, in view of the reliability the photovoltaic and the wind power generation system have many problems(energy conversion, energy storage, load control etc.) comparing with conventional power plant. In order to solve these existing problems, hybrid generation system composed of photovoltaic(500W) and wind power system(400W) was suggested. But, hybrid generation system cannot always generate stable output due to the varying weather condition. So, the auxiliary power compensation unit that uses elastic energy of spiral spring was added to hybrid generation system for the present study. It was partly confirmed that hybrid generation system was generated a stable outputs by spiral spring was continuously provided to load.

PWM(pulse width modulation) rectifier has unit power factor and low harmonic distortion with high power conversion efficiency in entire loading range. These merits of PWM rectifier help the spread of DC distribution system. In addition, if multiple PWM rectifiers can be operated in parallel connection, maintenance process can be simple and reliability of power source can be advanced because of the hot swapping is available. The other way, the load unbalance among rectifiers can force a converter to stop by over current. The surge current by closed circuit composition between rectifiers can force switching devices damage. In this paper, some problems that can occur in case of parallel operation of PWM rectifiers and problem eliminating methods are considered.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a unit module for a 10 kVA class 13.2 kV/220 V unidirectional solid-state transformer (SST) with silicon-carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. The proposed module consists of an active-front-end (AFE) converter to interface 1320 V AC voltage source to 2500 V DC link and an isolated resonant DC-DC converter for 500 V low-voltage DC output. The design approaches of the AFE and the isolated resonant DC-DC converters are addressed. The control structures of the converters are described as well. The experiments for the converters are performed, and results verify that the proposed unit module can be successfully adopted for the entire SST operation.
