In this paper, we consider the problem of estimation of average radar cross section (RCS) for Swerling 1 fluctuation model, based on the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation method. In a mathematical development we take into account the event that target strength is lower than detection threshold, or the target is not detected. Our ML estimation for the SWR uses the score function that is the joint probability-pdf of the events and random variables. The solution to the ML estimation reduces to an expression in the from of a contraction mapping. The computational efficiency of the contraction mapping theorem is significant in computing the ML estimation as compared with other root-finding algorithms fur most radar tracking conditions.

Maximum power point tracking(MPPT) is used in photovoltaic(PV) systems to maximize the photovoltaic array output power, irrespective of the temperature and irradiation conditions. The object of this paper is to compare and analyze MPPT efficiency for different MPPT techniques by changing irradiance. Also, this paper introduces transformerless grid-connected inverter. Simple flow charts and characteristics of each MPPT algorithm are shown. The implementation of transformerless grid-connected inveter system was based on a digital signal processor(DSP). Simulation was carried out for each MPPT method.

전동기의 동손 및 철손을 포함한 손실이 최소가 되는 운전 점을 추적함으로써, 전동기의 제정수 변동에 무관하게 항상 최대 효율점에서 영구자석 동기전동기를 운전할 수 있는 새로운 최대 효율 제어 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 최대 효율점 추적 제어 알고리즘은 전류의 위상각 변동에 따른 가변속 구동장치의 입력 전력 변화로부터 부하 변동에 의한 영향을 제거함으로써 정상 상태에서 부하변동에 무관하게 최대 효율점으로 수렴이 가능하고, 그 구성이 단순하기 때문에 산업계에 널리 적용될 수 있다. 실험을 통해 제안된 알고리즘의 효용성을 입증한다.

This paper introduces a coordinated droop control for the stand-alone DC micro-grid, which is composed of photo-voltaic generator, wind power generator, engine generator, and battery storage with SOC (state of charge) management system. The operation of stand-alone DC micro-grid with the coordinated droop control was analyzed with computer simulation. Based on simulation results, a hardware simulator was built and tested to analyze the performance of proposed system. The developed simulation model and hardware simulator can be utilized to design the actual stand-alone DC micro-grid and to analyze its performance. The coordinated droop control can improve the reliability and efficiency of the stand-alone DC micro-grid.

연료전지가 동작할 때에는 공기공급을 위한 압축기가 동작하게 되는데 공기의 유량에 따라 연료전지의 출력전력이 달라진다. 또한 공기의 유량에 따라 압축기에서 소비하는 전력이 달라지기 때문에 공기 유량에 따른 연료전지의 최대 효율점이 존재하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 연료전지의 출력전력에서 압축기의 손실전력을 제외한 순수 파워를 최대로 낼 수 있는 유량을 추적 제어하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

요즘, 태양에너지를 이용하는 웨어러블 전자기기가 많이 개발되고 있다. 이런 기기들은 태양전지에 도달하는 태양빛이 달라질 때, 태양전지와 컨버터의 연결방법이 시스템 효율에 많은 영향을 끼친다. 그래서 이 연구에서 9개의 테스트 경우를 5개의 다른 태양전지와 컨버터 연결방법으로 가정하여 전체 시스템 효율을 계산하였다. 5개의 연결방법은 직렬, 병렬, cascaded 컨버터, differential power processing (DPP) 컨버터의 직렬, DPP 컨버터의 병렬연결이다. 9개의 테스트 경우에서, 태양전지에 태양빛이 균일하게 도달할 경우, 병렬연결과 DPP 컨버터의 병렬연결이 가장 높은 효율을 보여주었다. 하지만 태양빛이 불균일하게 도달할 경우, DPP 컨버터의 연결이 가장 높은 효율을 보여주었다. 컨버터의 효율을 85%로 가정하면 DPP 컨버터를 병렬로 연결했을 경우, 이상적 경우를 제외한 8개의 테스트 경우에서 전체 시스템의 평균 효율은 99.36%였다.

수냉형 인버터는 냉각 시 칠러를 사용하게 되는데 칠러는 입력 냉각수의 온도가 높을수록 열교환 효율이 높아져 소비전력이 감소한다. 하지만 인버터는 입력 냉각수의 온도가 높을수록 손실이 증가하게 되므로 수냉형 인버터는 각각의 출력 부하에 따라 최대 효율 점이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 각각의 출력 부하에서 냉각수 온도 제어를 통해 수냉형 인버터의 최대 효율점을 추적하는 방법을 제안한다.

As global warming due to burning fossil fuels and natural resource depletion issues have emerged, the development of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics (PV) has been brought to recent interest. Amongst the vast efforts to harvest and convert solar energy into electricity, the module integrated converters (MIC) has become a worthy topic of research for grid-connected photovoltaic systems. Due to the required high-boosting qualities, only a restricted amount of DC/DC converter topologies can be applied to MICs. This paper investigates the possibility of a tapped-inductor boost converter as a candidate for PV MICs. A dual-inductor interleaving scheme operating slightly above the boundary of the two conduction modes (BCM) is suggested for reduction of input current ripple and minimization of component stress. A digital controller is used for implementation, assuring maximum power tracking and transfer while providing sufficient computational space for other grid connectivity applications, etc. For verification, a 200W converter is designed and simulated via computer software including component losses. High efficiency over a wide power range proves the feasibility of the proposed PV MIC system.

The phase-shifted, full-bridge (PSFB) DC-DC converter is widely used in electric vehicles (EVs) to charge a low-voltage (12 V) battery from a high-voltage battery. A Photovoltaic (PV) module-integrated PSFB converter is proposed for the EV power conversion system. The converter is useful because solar energy can be utilized to extend the driving range. The buck converter circuit is simply realized by adding one switch to the conventional PSFB converter's secondary side. For the inductor and diode, the existing components in the PSFB converter are shared. The proposed converter can charge a low-voltage battery from the PV module with maximum power point tracking. In addition, the two power sources can be used simultaneously, and efficiency is increased by reducing the circulating current, which is a problem for the conventional PSFB converter.
