This paper proposes a novel compound-type hybrid energy storage system (HESS) that inherits the unique advantages of both battery/supercapacitor (SC) and the SC/battery HESSs for electric vehicles (EVs). Eight operation modes are designed to match this system. A mode control strategy is developed for this HESS on the basis of these modes, and five classes of operation modes are established to simplify this strategy. The mode control strategy focuses on high operating efficiency and high power output. Furthermore, the compound-type HESS is designed such that the SC is the main priority in braking energy absorption. Thus, this HESS can operate efficiently and extend battery life. Simulation results also show that the compound-type HESS can not only supply adequate power to the motor inverter but can also determine suitable operation modes in corresponding conditions. Experimental results demonstrate that this HESS can extend battery life as well. The overall efficiency of the compound-type HESS is higher than those of the battery/SC and the SC/battery HESSs.

With the growing interest of microgrid systems all over the world, many studies on microgrid operation are being carried out. The battery energy storage system(BESS) and the diesel generator are key equipments in the microgrid. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of fuel consumption according to the power ratio of the diesel generator. Then, the formula to represent the unit cost of generation according to the power ratio of the diesel generator is derived. A new modeling of battery operation is presented considering the lifetime reduction according to increasing the cycles of charge/discharge operation of the battery. The methodology of determining the optimal operation of the battery and the diesel generator is presented by the use of the formula of fuel consumption of the diesel generator and the new modeling of battery operation. It is shown that this optimization methodology can be applied effectively for economical operation of the BESS and the diesel generator of a microgrid by case studies.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles(HEVs) have seriously come into prevalence recently as car manufacturers and consumers have become more aware of the environmental and economic problems of conventional vehicles. For the alternative power-train and battery cooling systems in HEVs, an effective thermal management system is required, and many automakers are interested in using Brushless DC(BLDC) motors for cooling fans for the overall traction unit's performance and energy saving capability. This paper presents the development status of BLDC motors as major parts of the power-train, i.e. the engine cooling and battery cooling fans of HEVs. A design that uses BLDC motors for the power-train and each battery cooling fan, is successfully implemented through using electro-magnetic analysis, and prototype BLDC motors are examined. As experimental results, the BLDC motors achieved an efficiency of 85% as engine cooling fans and 72% as a battery thermal management fan motor. The electric cogging noise is significantly reduced by changing the skew of the slot pitch angle and optimizing the magnetic shape.

본 논문은 비행시험 전 수직 이착륙 드론용 배터리 시스템 설계 및 지상 성능 평가에 대하여 다룬다. 배터리를 포함한 드론의 무게는 약 45 kg이며, 4개의 모터를 이용하여 추력을 발생 시키고 방향도 전환할 수 있는 드론이다. 30분 동안 비행임무에 필요한 전력을 시뮬레이션 하였고 그 결과 총 2.4 kWh의 전력이 필요하였다. 전압 운영 범위는 54 V ~ 44 V이며 13셀로 구성된 두 개의 배터리팩을 (4 C-rate) 제작하였다. 그리고 배터리 관리시스템을 장착하여 과전압, 저전압 및 과전류를 방지할 수 있는 기능을 추가하여 무인기 운용 안전성을 높였다. 최종적인 배터리 성능 검증을 위해 -10 ℃, 25 ℃, 40 ℃에서 시뮬레이션 방전 시험을 수행하여 비행 임무를 위한 필요 전력이 충족됨을 확인 하였다.

This paper presents a novel analysis, design, and implementation of a battery charging three-phase high frequency semi-controlled power converter feasible for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The main advantages of the proposed topology include high efficiency; due to lower power losses and reduced number of switching elements, high output power density realization, and reduced passive component ratings proportionally to the frequency. Additional advantages also include grid economic utilization by insuring unity power factor operation under different possible conditions and robustness since short-circuit through a leg is not possible. A high but acceptable total harmonic distortion of the generator currents is introduced in the proposed topology which can be viewed as a minor disadvantage when compared to traditional boost rectifiers. A hysteresis control algorithm is proposed to achieve lower current harmonic distortion for the rectifier operation. The rectifier topology concept, the principle of operation, and control scheme are presented. Additionally, a dc-dc converter is also employed in the rectifier-battery connection. Test results on 50-kHz power converter system are presented and discussed to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed topology for PHEV applications.

파워 매니지먼트는 휴대용 전자 기기에서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 휴대용 전자 기기는 배터리의 수명을 증가시키기 위해 LDO와 같은 파워 효율적인 파워 매니지먼트를 요구한다. 그래서 배터리 전원을 사용하는 휴대폰, 카메라 레코더, laptop, 자동차 전장용, 산업용 기기 등의 응용에서는 배터리의 전압변동이 크기 때문에, 배터리 전원을 그대로 사용하지 않고 내부회로의 전원을 제공해 주는 LDO를 이용한다. 레귤레이터는 배터리 전원전압 보다 낮은DC전압을 내부회로에 제공하며, 큰 변동을 보이는 배터리 전압에 관계없이 일정한 DC전압을 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 0.18um CMOS 공정기술로 제작된 온칩 LDO의 파워 세이브 모드 전류 특성과 IR-Drop 특성을 파악해 보았다.

Some defective cells in the battery bank of power systems using batteries result in deterioration of the performance of the total battery bank. Consequently, the battery bank can't perfectly back up the system in occurrence of any power problems and the overcharge of defective cells may lead to their explosion or the occurrence of fire. The developed battery management system in this study enables operators to telemeter and analyze internal resistance, voltages, currents, and temperatures of batteries at remote sites through a PC, so they can detect defective cells before the occurrence of power problems. And adoption of this system ensures extension of battery life.

Lithium-Ion batteries have become the best tradeoff between energy, power density and cost of the energy storage system in many portable high electric power applications. In order to manage the battery efficiently State of Charge (SOC) of the battery needs to be estimated accurately. In this paper a model-based approach to estimate the SOC of the Lithium-Ion battery based on the estimation of the battery impedance is proposed. The validity and feasibility of the proposed algorithm is verified by the experimental results.
