This paper presents a grid-interactive current controlled voltage source inverter (CCVSI) with uniterruptible power supply (UPS), which uses an inner current control loop (polarized ramp time (PRT)) and outer feedback control loops to improve grid power quality and UPS. To reduce the complexity, cost and number of power conversions, which results in higher efficiency, a single stage CCVSI is used. The operation of this system could be divided into the power quality control (PQC) state mode and the UPS state mode. In PQC mode, the system operated to compensate the reactive power demand by nonlinear load or variation in load. In UPS mode. the system is controlled to provide a sinusoidal voltage at the rated value for the load when the gird fail. To verify the proposed system, a comprehensive evaluation with theoretical analysis, simulation and experimental results for 1KVA load capacity is presented.

전력진동(Power Oscillation)은 전력이 0.05 Hz ~ 3.0 Hz의 저주파로 진동하는 현상으로서 계통고장 등의 원인으로 의해 취약한 송전선로에서 발생된다. 전력진동의 종류에는 inter-area mode, intra-area mode, local mode 등이 있는데, 국내 전력계통에서는 향후 영동권 원자력단지와 충남 서해안 화력단지 간을 연결하는 초고압 송전선로에서 intra-area mode의 전력진동이 발생할 가능성이 있다. TCSC를 적용하여 전력진동 제동효과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서 국내 전력계통에 TCSC를 설치함으로써 전력진동이 효과적으로 감소됨을 보인다. simulation 결과, 전력진동이 5% 수준으로 대폭 감소됨을 알 수 있다.

This paper presents a method for security constrained optimal reactive power planning in electric power systems. This method deals with corrective mode optimal reactive power dispatch in each (n-1)contingency system state and determination of the location and amount of reactive sources in preventive mode. In this paper the proposed scheme uses Benders decomposition method to determine the proper amount and location of reactive support in order to maintain a proper voltage profile and minimize active power transmission losses. This method is tested on IEEE 30 bus test system to prove effectiveness.

A novel multi-oxide layer structure for vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) structures is proposed to achieve higher single mode output power. The structure has four oxide layers with different aperture sizes and thicknesses. The oxide layer thicknesses are optimized simultaneously to reach the highest single mode output power. A heuristic method is proposed for plotting the influence of these variable changes on the operation of optical output power. A comprehensive optical-electrical thermal-gain self-consistent VCSEL model is used to simulate the continuous-wave operation of the multi-layer oxide VCSELs. A comparison between optimized VCSELs with different structures is presented. The results show that by using multi-oxide layers with different thicknesses, higher single-mode optical output power could be achieved in comparison with multi-oxide layer structures with the same thicknesses.

In this paper two modes of operating a wound rotor induction machine as a generator at sub-and super-synchronous speeds in wind energy conversion systems are investigated. In the first mode, known as double fed induction generator (DFIG), the rotor circuit is fed from the ac mains via a controlled rectifier and a forced commutated inverter. Adjusting the applied rotor voltage magnitude and phase leads to machine operation as a generator at sub-synchronous speeds. In the second mode, the machine is operated in a slip recovery scheme where the slip energy is fed back to the ac mains via a rectifier and line commutated inverter. This mode is described as double output induction generator (DOIG) leading to increase the efficiency of the wind-to electrical energy conversion system. Simulated results of both modes are presented. Experimental verification of the simulated results are presented for the DOIG mode of operation, showing larger amount of power captured and better power factor when compared to conventional induction generators.

This paper describes the identification of torsional modes and power oscillation modes including the inter-area modes and local modes of KEPCO using the proposed DFT analysis algorithm which is applied to the digitally recorded RMS values of power system variables such as steady-state measured active power, load angle and so on. As a result, the inter-area mode of 0.65Hz and the local modes of the three different generators were identified. In addition the torsional modes of two steam-turbo generators were analyzed by applying the DFT algorithm. Thus, this paper clearly shows the availability of the proposed DFT algorithm that can analyze the digitally recorded effective values measured from the equipment such as PMU of DSM.

This paper proposes a sliding-mode-based direct power control (DPC) method in a three-phase boost rectifier without the use of a voltage sensor. This sliding-mode-based DPC is used to improve transient-state response characteristics. This DPC can eliminate voltage sensors by calculating a voltage using a sensorless method, thus considerably reducing cost. This DPC first presents an effective algorithm that does not significantly affect the previous performance and does not need a voltage sensor. Thereafter, the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by simulations and experiments.

We propose the Poynting vector analysis of the air mode in a top-emitting organic light-emitting diode (OLED) by combining the transfer matrix method and dipole source term. The spatial profiles of the time-averaged optical power flow of the air mode are calculated inside and outside the multilayer structure of the OLED with respect to the thickness of the semi-transparent top cathode and capping layer (CPL). We elucidate how the micro-cavity effect controlled by the thickness variation of the semi-transparent top cathode or CPL affects the internal optical power and absorption loss inside the OLED multilayer and the external optical power coupled into the air. When the calculated absorption loss and external power obtained by the proposed Poynting vector and currently-used point dipole models are compared, two calculation results are identical, which demonstrates the validity of the two models.

The development of electric vehicle power electronics system control, composed of DC-AC inverters and DC-DC converters, attract much research interest in the modern industry. A DC-AC inverter supplies the high-power motor torques of the propulsion system and utility loads of electric vehicles, whereas a DC-DC converter supplies the conventional low-power and low-voltage loads. However, the need for high-power bidirectional DC-DC converters in future electric vehicles has led to the development of many new topologies of DC-DC converters. The nonlinear control of power converters is an active research area in the field of power electronics. This paper focuses on the use of the fuzzy sliding mode strategy as a control strategy for buck-boost DC-DC converter power supplies in electric vehicles. The proposed fuzzy controller specifies changes in control signals based on the surface and knowledge on surface changes to satisfy the sliding mode stability and attraction conditions. The performance of the proposed fuzzy sliding controller is compared to that of the classical sliding mode controller. The satisfactory simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed control law, which reduces the chattering phenomenon. Moreover, the obtained results prove the robustness of the proposed control law against variations in load resistance and input voltage in the studied converter.

A continuously variable transmission(CVT) mechanism composed of one differential gear unit and one continuously variable unit(CVU) can be classified according to the coupling of CVU and the direction of power flows. The mechanism has many advantages which are the decrease of CVT size, the increase of overall efficiency, the extension of speed ratio range and generation of geared neutral. The CVT mechanism considered here is the input coupled type which combines the functions of a 2K-H I type differential gear unit and a V-belt type CVU. One shaft of the CVU is connected directly to the input shaft and another shaft of it is linked to the differential gear unit. It is shown that some fundamental relations(speed ratios, power flows and efficiencies) for twelve mechanisms previously described are valid by various experimental studies, six of them produce a power circulation and the others produce a power split. Some useful comparisons between theoretical analysis and experimental results are presented. General properties also are discussed, which connect following power flow modes : (a) power circulation mode; (b) power split mode.
