In this paper, we analyze experimental results by applying the PHILS model to a lab-scale superconducting current limiter system for its actual application in medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) systems. Superconducting current limiters exhibit effective current-limiting performance in circuit breaker operations, particularly in limiting large fault currents within a short period, addressing the challenges posed by the increasing use of renewable energy and the integration of DC medium-voltage distribution systems. The development of such superconducting current limiters faces various technical and cost disadvantages, especially when applying a medium-voltage 35kV level system, which is intended for future introduction. The proven lab-scale superconducting current limiter system and the PHILS model are combined and integrated into the actual system. Our plan involves analyzing the limiter's performance, assessing its impact on the system, and preparing for its application in future medium-voltage systems. Utilizing RTDS, a simulation was conducted by connecting actual scaled-down equipment and systems, with the analysis results presented.

This paper proposes an improved modulation scheme for the medium voltage modular multi-level converter (MMC), which operates in the nearest level control and applies in the medium voltage direct current (MVDC) system. In the proposed modulation scheme, the offset (neutral-to-zero output) voltage is adjusted, with the phase voltage magnitude, thereby maintaining a constant value with N+1 level in the controllable modulation index (MI) range. In order to confirm the proposed scheme's validity, computer simulations for the 22.9 kV - 25 MVA MMC were performed with PSCAD/EMTDC, as well as hardware experiments for the 380 V - 10 kVA MMC. The proposed modulation scheme offers to build a constant pole voltage regardless of the MI value, and to build a phase voltage with improved total harmonic distortion (THD).

본 논문에서 중전압 직류 시스템(MVDC)의 적용을 위한 초전도 한류기(SFCL)의 설계 최적화를 위한 시뮬레이션 결과를 검증한다. 신재생 에너지의 증가와 계통 연계의 관점에 있어서, 기존의 송전망이나 배전망이 아닌 신재생 에너지망의 에너지 밸런싱을 위한 중전압 시스템이 연구 개발 실증 중에 있다. 특히 DC 배전망의 고장 전류는 빠른 시간 내에 큰 고장 전류를 차단해야 하기 때문에 초전도 한류기와 같은 전류 제한 시스템은 직류 차단기의 동작에 많은 이점이 있다. 이러한 초전도 한류기의 개발에 있어 시제작 및 평가 전에 유한 요소 해석(FEM)과 장시간의 설계 과정을 거쳐야 한다. 이러한 설계과정에서의 시간을 줄이기 위해 차원축소모델(ROM)을 활용하여 설계 결과를 학습하고 유한요소 해석 설계 결과와 동일한 결과를 검증함으로 기존 공학 모델의 제작 및 양산 등의 설계 시뮬레이션을 최적화하는 것 적용할 수 있다.

The proposed technical work attempts to compare the two key technologies of power distribution, i.e. direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) in a fiscal manner. The DC versus AC debate has been around since the earliest days of electric power. Here, at least four types of a low voltage DC (LVDC) distribution are examined as an alternative to the existing medium voltage AC (MVAC) distribution with an economic assessment technique for a project investment. Besides, the sensitivity analysis will be incorporated in the overall economic analysis model to cover uncertainties of the input data. A detailed feasibility study indicates that many of the common benefits claimed for an LVDC distribution will continue to grow more profoundly as it is foreseen to arise with the increased integration of renewable energy sources and the proliferation of energy storage associated with the enhanced utilization of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.

This paper presents a Direct Torque Control (DTC) strategy for the five-phase induction motor driven by a three-level five-phase inverter in order to improve the performance of the five-phase induction motor. In the proposed DTC technique, only 22 voltage vectors out of 243 available voltage vectors in a three-level five-phase inverter are selected and are divided in 10 sectors each with a width of $36^{\circ}$. The four different DTC combinations (DTC-I, II, III and IV) for a three-level five-phase induction motor drive are investigated for improving the performance of five-phase induction motor. All four of the DTC strategies utilize a combination of the same large and zero voltage vectors, but with different medium voltage vectors. Out of these four techniques, DTC-II gives the best performance when compared to the others. This DTC-II technique is analyzed in detail for improvements in the performance of five-phase induction motor in terms of torque ripple, x-y stator flux and Total Harmonics Distortion (THD) of the stator phase current when compared to its two-level counterparts. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed three-level five-phase DTC control strategy, a DSP based experimental system is build. Simulation and experimental results are provided in order to validate the proposed DTC technique.

본 논문은 줄기세포 재생 치료를 위해 사용되는 배지에 직류전압을 인가하여 배지에 반응되는 전기적인 저항 값, 전류 값 그리고 전압 값의 상태에 대해 분석하였다. 배지에 반응되는 전압은 줄기세포 분화 유도 과정에서 전기적인 자극에 연관되며 반응 전압 상태에 따라 분화의 상태에 대해 확인 할 수 있다. 배지의 반응 전압에서 전압변화 레벨이 적으면 줄기세포 자극 조건이 안정적이며 만일 전압 변화 레벨이 심하면 줄기세포 자극 조건이 불안정하여 줄기세포 분화 과정에서 상당한 손실을 따르게 될 수 있다. 본 연구는 줄기세포 재생 치료의 가능성을 위해 전기적인 자극 조건의 최적화 하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.

This paper focuses on the control of bidirectional power flow in the electric shipboard power systems, especially in the Medium-Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) shipboard power system. Bidirectional power control between the main MVDC bus and the local zones can improve the energy efficiency and control flexibility of electric ship systems. However, since the MVDC system contains various nonlinear loads such as pulsed power load and radar in various subsystems, the voltage of the MVDC and the local zones varies significantly. This voltage variation affects the control performance of the bidirectional DC-DC converters as exogenous disturbances. To improve the control performance regardless of uncertainties and disturbances, this paper proposes a novel controller design method of the bidirectional DC-DC converters using $L_1$ control theory and intelligent optimization algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is verified via large-scale real-time digital simulation of a notional shipboard MVDC power system.

Multilevel converters have emerged like a new strategy for energy conversion from medium power to high power. The main characteristic of the topologies classified as multilevel, is the use of commutation devices connected in series, allowing the distribution of the voltage and reducing stress in the commutation switches. Stacked Multicell Converter (SMC), is classified as single-phase voltage source inverter(VSI). Due to the fact, the SMC generates a signal of alternating current of several levels of voltage of direct current. The following work will demonstrate the flexibility of the above mentioned topology using a low cost control circuit architecture.

Dynamic simulation is critical for electrical ship studies as it obtains the necessary information to capture and characterize system performance over the range of system operations and dynamic events such as disturbances or contingencies. However, modeling and simulation of the interactive electrical and mechanical dynamics involves setting up and solving system equations in time-domain that is typically time consuming and computationally expensive. Accurate assessment of system dynamic behaviors of interest without excessive computational overhead has become a serious concern and challenge for practical application of electrical ship design, analysis, optimization and control. This paper aims to develop a systematic approach to classify the sophisticated dynamic phenomenon encountered in electrical ship modeling and simulation practices based on the design intention and the time scale of interest. Then a novel, comprehensive, coherent, and end-to-end mathematical modeling and simulation approach has been developed for the latest Medium Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) Shipboard Power System (SPS) with the objective to effectively and efficiently capture the system behavior for ship-wide system-level studies. The accuracy and computation efficiency of the proposed approach has been evaluated and validated within the time frame of interest in the cast studies. The significance and the potential application of the proposed modeling and simulation approach are also discussed.
