Hybrid wind Diesel stand-alone power systems are considered economically viable and effective to create balance between production and load demand in remote areas where the wind speed is considerable for electric generation, and also, electric energy is not easily available from the grid. In Wind diesel hybrid system, the wind energy system is the main constitute and diesel system forms the back up. This type of hybrid power system saves fuel cost, improves power capacity to meet the increasing demand and maintains the continuity of supply in the system. Problem we face in this system is that even after producing enough power through wind turbine system, considerable portion of this power needs to be dumped due to short term oversupply of power and to maintain the frequency within close tolerances. As a result remaining portion of total energy supplied comes from the diesel generator to overcome the temporal energy shortage. This scenario decreases the overall efficiency of hybrid power system. In this study, efficient Simulink modeling for wind-diesel hybrid system is proposed and some simulations study is carried out to verify the feasibility of the proposed scheme.

Line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems are good candidates for providing energy storage within a microgrid. In this paper, a control scheme for a line-interactive UPS system applied in a low-voltage microgrid is presented. It is based on the Q-w and P-E droop control to achieve a seamless transition between grid-connected and stand-alone operation modes. Moreover, a new model for designing the controllers is built in the dq-frame based on the instantaneous power definition. The new-built model takes into account the dynamic performance of the output impedance of the inverter in the dq-frame and can be evaluated in the time domain. Compared to the traditional model based on the instantaneous power definition, the new-built model is more accurate to describe the dynamic performance of the system. Simulation and experimental results obtained with a microgrid consisting of two 40-kW line-interactive UPS systems are given to validate the control strategy of the line-active UPS system and the accuracy of the new-built model.

자가발전 도서는 내연발전 혹은 PV 발전을 이용하여 전력을 공급하고 있는데, 해양환경에 의한 문제점(경년열화, 염해), 환경오염(매연, 소음, 분진) 및 발전비용(설치비, 유지관리비) 상승 등 전력공급 효율성에 대한 문제점이 대두되고 있다. 한전에서 전력공급을 담당하고 있는 65개 자가발전 도서지역의 2016년 원가회수율은 27%에 불과하며 원가의 73%에 달하는 결손액이 발생되고 있다. 이들 도서지역에서 발생한 결손액의 현황을 보면, 발전분야에서 발생하는 비용은 전체의 91% 정도를 차지하고 있고 운영비용인 변동비(연료비)와 고정비(지급수수료, 수선유지비, 기타비용) 중에서 고정비가 차지하는 비율은 60% 정도이다. 즉, 도서지역 발전효율을 향상시키고 운영체계를 효율화시키는 최적 전력공급방안을 마련하여 운영 결손액을 줄일 필요가 있다. 그러므로 거리상 가까운 여러 개의 도서 발전설비를 한 곳으로 통합하고, 인근 도서지역 간 전력공급에 해저케이블을 이용하면 연료 수송 및 설비 유지관리의 간결화를 도모할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 통합운영 경제성 평가를 통하여, 내연발전 및 PV 발전으로 운영되고 있는 근거리 도서간 통합운영에 유효한 해저케이블 포설 방안(1회선, 2회선, 1회선 루프)을 결정하는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 또한, 제안한 알고리즘을 바탕으로 자가발전도서의 독립운전방식과 비교 분석한 결과, 근거리이며 내연발전으로 운영되나 최대부하가 작은 2개 혹은 3개 도서에 있어서 도서간 통합운영이 경제적인 전력공급방안임을 확인하였다.

지능형교통정보시스템(ITS) 정책의 일환으로 가변안내표지판의 보급이 확대되었음에도 불구하고 여러 가지 문제점들이 나타나게 되었으며 그 중 하나가 지역별 교통 정보 제공의 불평등 및 비효율성 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 전력선 및 통신선 구축이 어려운 인프라 취약 지역에서도 도로상황 및 기상상태 등의 교통정보 제공을 위해 인프라 독립형 가변안내표지판을 제안하였다. 인프라 독립형 가변안내표지판은 인프라 취약지역에서 운영되므로 그 특성상 시스템 구성, 운영방안 등에서 일반형 가변안내표지판과는 차별성을 가지므로 그 특성을 분석하여 나타내었다. 또한 태양광 발전으로 획득된 한정된 전력을 효율적으로 운영하기 위하여 이를 고려한 배터리 체결구조와 가변안내표지판의 표출 메시지에 따른 전력 운용 방안을 제안하였다. 향후 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 인프라 독립형 가변안내표지판뿐만 아니라 병렬 구조의 배터리가 사용되는 다양한 용도의 어플리케이션의 전력 제어에 적용 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

This paper proposes a fault tolerant and high efficiency operation algorithm for a 4 LEG DC/DC converter for a battery energy storage system(BESS) forming a main power source in a standalone DC micro grid. The BESS for the main power supply in the stand-alone DC micro-grid is required to operate at high speed according to fault tolerant control and load by operating at all times. Fault-tolerance control changes the short-circuit fault to an open-circuit fault by using a fuse in case of leg fault in 4 legs, and operates stably through phase shift control. In addition, considering the loss of the power semiconductor, the number of LEG operation is adjusted to operate at high efficiency in the full load region. In this paper, fault tolerant control and high efficiency operation algorithm of DC/DC converter for BESS in standalone DC micro grid is presented and it is proved through simulation and experiment.

The Firebrick Resistance-Heated Energy Storage (FIRES) concept developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology aims to enhance profitability of the nuclear power industry in the next decades. Studies carried out at Massachusetts Institute of Technology already provide estimates of the potential revenue from FIRES system when it is applied to industrial heat supply, the likely first application. Here, we investigate the possibility of operating a power plant (PP) with a fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactor and a closed Brayton cycle. This variant offers features such as enhanced nuclear safety as well as flexibility in design of the PP but also radically changes the way of operating the PP. This exploratory study provides estimates of the revenue generated by FIRES in addition to the nominal revenue of the stand-alone fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactor, which are useful for defining an initial design. The electricity price data is based on the day-ahead markets of Germany/Austria and the United States (Iowa). The proposed method derives from the equation of revenue introduced in this study and involves simple computations using MatLab to compute the estimates. Results show variable economic potential depending on the host grid but stress a high profitability in both regions.

Wireless sensor network is one of prospective methods for railway monitoring due to the long-term operation and low-maintenance performances. How to supply power to the wireless sensor nodes has drawn much attention recently. In railway monitoring, the idea of converting ambient vibration energy from vibration of railway track induced by passing trains to electric energy has made it a potential way for powering the wireless sensor nodes. In this paper, a bimorph cantilever piezoelectric energy harvester was designed based on a single degree-of-freedom model. Experimental test was also performed to validate the design. The first natural frequency of the bimorph piezoelectric energy harvester was decreased from 117.1 Hz to 65.2 Hz by adding 4 gram tip mass to the free end of the 8.6 gram energy harvester. In addition, the power generation of the piezoelectric energy harvester with 4 gram tip mass at resonant frequency was increased from 0.14 mW to 0.74 mW from $2.06m/s^2$ base excitation compared to stand-alone piezoelectric energy harvester without tip mass.

The utility-interactive inverter with critical loads should supply continuous and stable voltage to critical loads even during the grid fault. The conventional control method which performs current control for grid-connected mode and voltage control for stand-alone mode undergoes the critical load voltage variation during grid fault. The critical load voltage may have large transient when the inverter performs mode transfer after the islanding detection. Recently, the indirect current control method which does not have the transient state during not only islanding detection but also the mode transfer has been proposed. However, since the voltage control is maintained even during the grid-connected mode it is difficult to detect the islanding. This paper proposes an active anti-islanding method suitable for the indirect current control method which does not have NDZ(Non-Detection Zone).
