A Single-phase Active Rectifier (SAR) [4-6] with high power factor capability is adopted to satisfy the international harmonic current standards such as IEC 1000-3-2. To minimize the input current distortion and to apply the control IC, such as FA5331, UC3854, ML4821 and so forth, the new adequate sensing circuits of the input voltage and current are proposed. There are tow methods applicable the SAR to inverter air-conditioner from the viewpoint of both efficiency and cost. The selecting methods of the passive components are presented for the two approaches. Using the determined components, the loss analyses are carried out. The prototype SAR circuits of these two approaches with 3kW power consumption are built and the operation and performance of the circuits with power factor correction capability are verified through the experimental results.

In this paper, a novel circuit topology of a three-winding coupling inductor-assisting a high-frequency PWM boost chopper type DC-DC power converter with a high boost voltage conversion ratio and low switch voltage stress is proposed for the new energy interfaced DC power conditioner in solar photovoltaic and fuel cell generation systems. The operating principle in a steady state is described by using its equivalent circuits under the practical condition of energy processing of a lossless capacitive snubber. The newly-proposed power MOSFET boost chopper type DC-DC power converter with the three-winding coupled inductor type transformer and a single lossless capacitor snubber is built and tested for an output power of 500W. Utilizing the lower voltage and internal resistance power MOSFET switch in the proposed PWM boost chopper type DC-DC power converter can reduce the conduction losses of the active power switch compared to the conventional model. Therefore, the total actual power conversion efficiency under a condition of the nominal rated output power is estimated to be 81.1 ％, which is 3.7％ higher than the conventional PWM boost chopper DC power conversion circuit topology.

전기 철도계통은 기존 전력계통과 달리 단상, 대용량 부하로 필연적으로 전압강하, 전압불평형 및 고조파 왜곡 등의 전력품질의 문제가 발생한다. 최근 철도계통의 전력품질문제는 철도차량 및 시스템의 제어 및 안전 때문에 중요한 화두가 되고 있다. 이는 또한 기존 전력계통의 전력품질에도 영향을 미친다 본 논문에서는 전기철도 급전시스템에 발생하는 전력품질문제의 보상에 관한 연구를 수행하고자 한다. 이를 위해 국내 교류전기철도 표준 급전방식인 AT(Auto Transformer)급전시스템, 철도급전변압기인 스콧트 변압기(Scott Transformer), AT변압기, 철도선로 및 철도 차량부하를 모델링 하였다. 과도응답은 전자기과도해석 프로그램인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 사용하여 해석 하였다. 또한 전력품질을 보상하기위한 방안으로 급전선-전차선에 설치되는 전력품질보상기(Unified Power Quality Conditioner : UPQC)를 제안하였고 이의 성능 및 유효성을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다.

In this study, the optimum design process of an indoor package air-conditioner (PAC) was implemented by Taguchi method. The goal of this study is to obtain the best set condition of each control factor composing of an indoor PAC. The number of revolution of a double inlet sirocco fan installed in an indoor PAC was measured by the orthogonal array of $L_{18}(2^3{\times}3^4)$ and analysed by using the-smaller- the-better characteristic among the static characteristic analyses. As a result, the optimum condition of an indoor PAC was found as a set of when the cost of production, assembling and working conditions were considered. Moreover, the number of revolution of a double-inlet sirocco fan used for an optimum condition was reduced about 8.5% more than that of a standard condition for the target flowrate of $18.5m^3/min$.

This paper propose a new power conditioner topology with intelligent power management controller that integrates multiple renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy and fuel cell energy with battery backup to make best use of their operating characteristics and obtain better reliability than that could be obtained by single renewable energy based power supply. The proposed embedded controller is programmed for maintaining a constant voltage at PCC, maximum power point tracking for solar PV panel and WTG and power flow control by regulating the reference currents of the controller on instantaneous basis based on the power delivered by the sources and load demand. Instantaneous variation in reference currents of the controller enhances the controller response as it accommodates the effect of continuously varying solar insolation and wind speed in the power management. The power conditioner uses a battery bank with embedded controller based online SOC estimation and battery charging system to suitably sink or source the input power based on the load demand. The simulation results of the proposed power management system for a standalone solar/WTG/fuel cell fed hybrid power supply with real time solar radiation and wind velocity data collected from solar centre, KEC for a sporadically varying load demand is presented in this paper and the results are encouraging in reliability and stability perspective.

Under traditional unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) control, a UPQC series converter (SC) is mainly used to handle grid-side power quality problems while its parallel converter (PC) is mainly used to handle load-side power quality problems. The SC and PC are relatively independent. The SC is usually in standby mode and it only runs when the grid voltage abruptly changes. In this paper, novel UPQC coordinated control strategies are proposed which use the SC to share the reactive power compensation function of the PC especially without grid-side power quality problems. However, in some cases, there will be a circulating current between the SC and the PC, which will probably influence the compensation fashion, the compensation capacity, or the normal work of the UPQC. Through an active power circulation analysis, strategies with and without a circulating current are presented which fuses the reactive power allocation strategy of the SC and the PC, the composite control strategy of the SC and the compensation strategy of the DC storage unit. Both of the strategies effectively solve the SC long term idle problem, limit the influence of the circulating current, optimize all of the UPQC units and reduce the production cost. An analysis, along with simulation andexperimental results, is presented to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control strategies.

This paper describes a novel structure for single phase Unified Power Quality Conditioner-Distributed Generation (UPQC-DG) with direct grid connected DC-AC converter for low DC output DG systems which can be used not only for compensation of power quality problems but also for supplying of load power partly. This converter has been composed of one full-bridge inverter, one three winding high frequency transformer with galvanic isolation and two cycloconverters. Proper control based on Input Output feedback Linearization is used to tracking the reference signals. The simulation and experimental results are presented to confirm the validity of the proposed approach.

Automatic control equipment in hydro power plant, such as turbine governor or automatic voltage regulator have to act promptly against for variation of power system, so it is necessary to check and test continuously. During last five years, the performance test of automatic control equipment was performed about 20 units of hydro turbine generator. In this process, because it has complex connection and before calibration, signal conditioner was developed as an auxiliary equipment for performance test. It includes function of signal amplifier, transducer, and meters. As a result of use this equipment for electric governor test at soyang-gang hydro power plant, it was possible to find output data equal to old one.
