In this paper, to expand the use of standalone street lights, an algorithm for controlling LED energy consumption was proposed. The proposed method uses an LED module of a standalone street light divided into n zones. This is a method of reducing total power consumption by preventing the increase in power consumption due to high heat generation by weakly operating the entire LED according to the illuminance. When the amount of sunlight decreases, the whole LED operates weakly and then brightens, and unlike streetlight that act as streetlight, a method of dividing LEDs by area and limiting the number of LEDs operating according to illumination intensity was proposed. This is a way to use a lot of time with limited battery capacity by reducing the generation of heat that consumes the most power in streetlight. It is also a method of continuously changing the initial usage area to improve the total usage time of the LED substrate. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the proposed method extends the service time because it generates less heat than the conventional stand-alone streetlight.

In this paper, we study the BESS of a standalone hybrid street light. The proposed BESS proposed a BESS with the function of efficiently charging irregularly generated power from two or more generators. AC generated by wind power is converted to DC using an AC / DC converter and then to a voltage that can charge the battery through the DC / DC converter. The lack of voltage and current, which is a disadvantage of the MPPT method used in solar power generation, is compensated by the DC value of wind power generation. The compensation method is to convert the DC generated from solar power into a voltage suitable for charging the battery through a DC / DC converter, and then connect the DC generated in wind power in parallel to compensate for the insufficient current to charge the battery in a short time. Allow this to begin. By securing the maximum charging time, the usage time of the stand-alone hybrid street light is huge. Experimental results show that the battery has a short charging time and can be efficiently applied to battery-dependent standalone hybrid street lights.

태양광/풍력 복합발전시스템은 친환경적인 에너지원의 대표적인 복합발전시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 독립형 태양광/풍력 발전시스템을 이용한 가로등 시스템을 구성하여 출력특성을 고찰하였다. 풍력에서 발전된 교류전력을 DC로 변환하여 태양광발전에서 출력된 DC 전력과 공통 DC버스로 전달되도록 하였으며, 공통 직류단 병렬운전을 위해 출력전압을 일치시켰다. 또한 슈퍼캐패시터를 적용하여 발전된 전력의 배터리 충전매체로 활용하여 시스템의 안정성을 높이고 충방전 효율을 증가시키고자 하였다.

본 논문은 독립형 태양광 보안등에 적합한 전력변환기를 제안한다. 제안된 전력변환기는 플라이백-부스트 콤비네이션 전력변환기로 하나의 스위치로 독립형 태양광 보안등의 배터리 감압컨버터와 LED 구동용 승압 컨버터의 기능을 모두 수행한다. 또한 기존 플라이백 컨버터의 RCD 스너버 회로 대신, 출력에 직접 연결하여 누설 인덕터의 에너지를 출력으로 전달하여 손실을 줄이는 방법을 적용하였다. 제안된 회로를 검증하기 위해서 PSIM 시뮬레이터를 사용하였으며, 회로의 동작 및 구조를 설명하였다.
