This paper describes development of an implantable power switching system for biotelemetry system. This system is designed and manufactured to achieve as small size and low power dissipation as possible, using pulse powered circult and CMOS technology. The function of the power switching system is to connect the implantable battery to implanted sensors and, electronics systems by receiving intermittent command signals from external circuits. The power dissipation of this system was about $15{\mu}W$ for a stand-by operation.

This paper deals with stand-alone photovoltaic system(SPVS) with charge and discharge controller. Main power source of SPVS are generally solar cell and battery. Therefore SPVS can be classified into variable types in accordance with connection type between battery and solar cell. Mainly used one of them is direct connection type which has advantages such as simple structure and simple controller. However most big drawback of this system is energy loss by voltage disharmony between solar cell and battery. Therefore SPVS with charge and discharge controller which can operate solar cell at maximum power point is suggested and designed with instantaneous controller. And system operating characteristics are verifieded by experiment with a laboratory prototype in this paper.

This paper presents a portable power supply equipped with a battery charger. The proposed system can be operated separatedly distinguishing between DC/AC and AC/DC function. The former uses a battery and the latter a line voltage as the power source to operate on an inverter and a battery charger, respectively. To keep the output voltage being sinusoidal and to have the high dynamic performances even In the cases of load variations, a proper control method is adapted. The operational principles and analysis are explained in detail. The validity of the proposed system is proved from the experimental results.

A novel voltage-fed single-stage power factor correction (PFC) full-bridge converter based on asymmetric phase-shifted control for battery chargers is proposed in this paper. The attractive feature of the proposed converter is that it can operate in a wide output voltage range without an output low-frequency ripple, which is indispensable in battery charger applications. Meanwhile, the converter can maintain a high power factor and a controllable dc bus voltage over a wide output voltage range. In this paper, the realization of PFC and the operation principle of asymmetric phase-shifted control are given. A small-signal analysis of the proposed single-stage power factor correction (PFC) full-bridge converter is performed. Experimental results obtained from a 1kW experimental prototype are given to validate the feasibility of the proposed converter. The PF is higher than 0.97 over the entire output voltage range with the proposed control strategy.

Recently, unmanned electric vehicles are increasingly interested among all of the world since they can provide low exhaust gas, high efficiency and high mobility. To exploit their silent maneuver and high mobility, unmanned electric vehicles have been developed since early 1980's for military. However, it is not easy to design and control a power system satisfying operating duration and mobility performance requirements based on various mission profiles for military use under the conditions of limited space and weight. Moreover it is also necessary to prevent over-charge, over-discharge and voltage unbalance between cells of battery to secure high voltage battery which is serially connected with muti-cells. In this paper, we presents power control and optimal management method for the dog-horse robot which adopts a electric power system and suggests a guide-line to manage and control to secure high voltage battery.

A new high power density and low cost Photovoltaic Power Conditioning System (PV PCS) with energy storage system is proposed. Its high power density and cost effectiveness can be achieved through the unification of the maximum power point tracker and battery charger/discharger. Despite of the reduced power stage, the proposed system can achieve the same performances of maximum power point tracking and battery charging/discharging as the conventional system. Moreover, the high voltage stress across the link-capacitor can be relieved through the series-connected link-capacitor with the battery. Therefore, a large number of series/parallel-connected link-capacitors can be reduced by 4-times. Especially, when the utility power failure happens, both photovoltaic and battery energies can be supplied to the load with only one power stage. Therefore, it features a simpler structure, less mass, lower cost, and fewer devices. Finally, to confirm the operation, validity, and features of the proposed system, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a single phase AC 220Vrms/1.5kW prototype are presented.

In order to solve the problem of system efficiency reduced on account of two stage power conversion, we propose a series resonant full bridge Inverter circuit for battery-fed microwave oven. This circuit has both a compact size and a light weight comparing with the conventional HVT(High Voltage Transformer) method. Also, it may be adjusted power levels of the microwave oven by a frequency control. In this paper, operational principles are explained in detail in order to understand the circuit operation. Also, a proto-type Inverter circuit with 1[kW] Power consumption is built and tested for verifying the operation.

In this paper, we first implement the simulation environment to investigate the efficient control method of a Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) system with battery. The subsystems of a FCEV including the fuel cell system, the electric motor (including the power electronics) and the tansmission (reduction gear), and the auxiliary power source (battery) are mathematically fomulated and coded using the Matlab/Simulink software. Some examples are given to show the capabilities of the modeled system and d a basic control strategy is examined for the economic energy distribution between the fuel cell and the auxiliary power source. It is illustrated by simulations that the actual vehicle velocity follows the given desired velocity pattern while both SOC control and power distribution control are being performed.

FuelCell/Battery hybrid power systems were studied to develop high efficient zero-emission fuel cell electric vehicles. Fuel cells were used as an auxiliary energy source and batteries were used as a transient power source. The fuel cell system is used to supply the average power demand. Dynamic response of the hybrid systems was simulated using PSPICE program and also tested experimentally. The results can be used to design the interface module and to determine the power requirement between the fuel cell unit and the battery pack.

This study proposes a parallel operation strategy for small wind turbine systems. A small wind turbine system consists of blade, permanent magnet synchronous generator, three-phase diode rectifier, DC/DC buck converter, and the battery load. This configuration has reliability, simple control algorithm, high efficiency, and low cost. In spite of these advantages, the system stops when unexpected failures occur. Possible failures can be divided into mechanical and electrical parts. The proposed strategy focuses on the failure of electrical parts, which is verified by numerical analysis through equivalent circuit and acquired general formula of small wind power generation systems. Simulation and experimental results prove its efficiency and usefulness.
