국내 전력계통에 부하추종운전 중인 가스터빈 발전기들은 정격 주파수 유지에 큰 역할을 하고 있지만 종종 주파수 제어가 불량한 경우도 발생한다. 이에 가스터빈 속도제어 장치인 조속기의 제어 특성을 살펴보고 고장 유형을 분석한 후 사안 별로 대책을 제시하였다. 그리고, 가스터빈은 연료제어의 빠르기에 따라 주파수 회복에는 도움을 되지만 연소실 온도가 급격하게 변동하고 연소진동이 발생하는 등 안정운전을 저해하는 요소로 작용하기도 한다는 것을 조속기 응동시험을 통해 확인하였다. 따라서, 안정적인 전력품질을 유지하기 위해서는 철저한 설비관리를 수행하고 비례 적분 미분 제어방식에 4차산업의 핵심분야인 기계학습 알고리즘이 융합된 조속기 제어방식의 연구 필요성이 대두되었다.

본 연구에서는 국내외적으로 환경문제 및 에너지절감의 일환으로 직류배전시스템을 선박에 적용하려는 연구 및 실증이 활발히 수행되고 있으며, 발전기를 직류배전시스템에 적용하기 위해서는 가변속 엔진을 적용하여 저부하 영역에서 발전기의 엔진 회전수를 줄여 연료소모량을 절감할 수 있는 방안이 제시되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 디젤발전기를 이용하여 발전기 컨트롤러, 가버너, AVR을 이용하여 직류배전용 가변속발전기를 구성하였으며, 발전기의 시스템 구성 방법, 가변속 발전에 따른 전력품질 시험(전압 및 주파수 변동특성, 부하변동 특성)을 통해 가변속 발전기의 전력특성을 분석 하였다. 가변속 발전기의 전압(250 ~ 440 VAC) 및 주파수(34 ~ 60 Hz)는 정격의 60 ~ 100 %로 구성하였으며, 엔진은 1100 ~ 1800 rpm 범위에서 운전되도록 설정 하였다. 부하변동에 따라 발전기의 엔진속도를 변경시켜서 발전기 출력의 전압, 전류, 주파수가 전력량에 따라 안정적으로 변동되는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a low voltage high current LLC resonant converter for Green PC. Green PC is composed of a lot of blade PCs, and it is a centralized system to manage them in computer center. Green PC should require that its power supplies have several characteristics such as low output voltage, high output current, and high power conversion efficiency. Conventional PSFB (Phase Shift Full Bridge) converter is usually used as DC/DC converter for computer power supply because it has high power conversion efficiency thanks to ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) operation under middle and high load conditions. However, this converter has some problems such as large switching noise and limitation of ZVS operation under light load condition. In order to improve the performance of power supply for Green PC, a new power supply using popular high efficiency LLC resonant converter for low voltage and high current application is proposed in this paper. The proposed power supply has ZVS capability over the entire load range, thus resulting in good efficiency and high switching frequency. Experimental results verify the performance of the proposed power supply for Green PC using 2[kW] (19[V], 105[A]) rated prototype converter.

In this paper, a 50-kW high-efficiency modular fast charger for both electric vehicle (EV) and neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) is proposed. The proposed fast charger consists of five 10-kW modules to achieve fault tolerance, ease of thermal management, and reduce component stress. Three-level topologies for both AC-DC and DC-DC converters are employed to use 600V MOSFET, resulting in ease of component selection and increase in switching frequency. The proposed three-level DC-DC converter with coupled inductor and its hybrid switching method can reduce the circulating current under wide output voltage range. A 50-kW prototype of the proposed fast charger was developed and tested to verify the validity of the proposed concept. Experimental results show that the proposed fast charger achieves a rated efficiency of 95.2% and a THD of less than 3%.

This paper proposes a 3.3-kW bi-directional EV charger with V2G and V2H functions. The bi-directional EV charger consists of a DC-DC converter and a DC-AC inverter. The proposed EV charger is suitable for wide battery voltage control due to the two-stage configuration of the DC-DC converter. By employing a fixed-frequency series loaded resonant converter as the isolated DC-DC converter, zero-current-switching can be achieved regardless of battery voltage variation, load variation, and power flow. A 3.3-kW prototype of the proposed EV charger has been built and verified with experiments, and indicates a maximum efficiency of 94.39% and rated efficiency of 94.23%.

LLC resonant converters or phase-shift full-bridge converters have been widely used as DC - DC converters for rapid charging of electric vehicles (EVs). However, these converters present critical disadvantages, including a large circulating current, which can hinder efficiency and miniaturization in EV battery charger applications. In this paper, a new DC - DC converter topology is proposed for EV rapid chargers. The proposed converter can operate at high frequency despite a high rated power capacity of over 20kW, and the problem of circulating current can be minimized during the entire battery charging time. Owing to these advantages, the proposed converter can achieve a high conversion efficiency of over 97% for EV rapid charger applications. The performance of the proposed converter is verified with 20kW prototypes in this study.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a 2.5kW (500V, 5A) simmer circuit that maintains the ionization of xenon gas inside the lamp. The design is based on a LCC resonant converter in continuous conduction mode (CCM) with above resonant frequency to take advantage of high power density from using parasitic elements such as the leakage inductance in a power transformer. In addition, since the converter has current source output characteristics, it is suitable for maintaining ionization of the lamp having the negative resistance load characteristic. To verify this converter design, PSpice modeling was performed. Finally, the developed simmer circuit is verified by a resistive load of rated performance and the Ionization maintenance operation of the xenon flash lamp.

Cutback control in a grid code is one of the functions of a wind power plant (WPP) that is required to support the system protection and frequency stability. When a cutback control command signal is delivered to the WPP from the system operator, the output of a WPP should be decreased to 20% of the rated power within 5 s. In this paper, we propose a dedicated cutback control algorithm of a WPP based on the ratio of the command power to the available power. If a cutback control signal is delivered, the algorithm determines the pitch angle for the cutback control and starts the pitch angle control. The proposed algorithm keeps the rotor speed at the speed before the start of the cutback control to quickly recover the previous output prior to the cutback control. The performance of the algorithm was validated for a 100 MW aggregated WPP based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator under various wind conditions using an EMTP-RV simulator. The results clearly shows that the proposed algorithm not only successfully reduces the output to the command power within 5 s by minimizing the fluctuation of the pitch angle, but also rapidly recovers to the output level before the cutback control.

This paper analyzes stability of current control in respect of four cases of battery energy storage system (BESS) in a stand-alone microgrid. The stand-alone microgrid is composed of BESS, diesel generator and controllable loads, where all of them have a rated power of 50kW. The four cases are considered as following: 1) BESS with a stiff grid 2) BESS with the diesel generator 3) BESS with passive damping + diesel generator 4) BESS with active damping + diesel generator, and their stabilities are analyzed in the frequency domain and discrete time domain. The comparative analysis for four cases are verified through simulation and experiments through demonstration site of the stand-alone microgrid, where the DC link is connected to a 115kW battery bank composed of 48 lead-acid batteries (400AH/12V). Experimental results show a good agreement with the analysis.
