The generation of electric power using self excited induction generation (SEIG) is a viable option in remote and rural areas where grid electricity is not available. The generated voltage and frequency of these machines, however, varies with varying loads. This characteristic can be resolved either by adjusting the values of the excitation capacitance or by controlling the prime mover speed. Further, in a single-point constant power application, where the machines deliver a fixed amount of power, the electronic load controller (ELC) can be used to switch-in or switch-out a dump load whenever the consumer load decreases or increases respectively. This paper presents a detailed analysis and the design of a microcontroller based SEIG -ELC system intended for stand-alone pico hydro power generation. The simulated performance of the controller is supplemented by experimental results.

본 논문에서는 입력전압을 감지하지 않는 전류연속/임계동작모드 active power factor correction(PFC) circuit을 제안하였다. 기존의 입력전압을 감지하지 않는 PFC circuit의 경우 출력전류가 낮은 경 부하 조건에서 DCM 동작을 수행하고, 이에 따라 PF가 감소하는 문제가 발생한다. 제안한 PFC circuit은 70KHz의 주파수로 CCM 동작을 수행하고, 경 부하 조건에서 최대 200KHz까지 스위칭 주파수가 가변되는 CRM 동작을 수행하도록 하였다. 이를 통해 경 부하 조건에서 PF가 감소하는 문제를 해결하였다. PFC controller IC는 $0.35{\mu}m$ BCDMOS 공정을 이용하여 제작하였으며, 240W급 PFC prototype을 제작하여 실험하였다. 제안한 PFC circuit은 기존의 PFC circcuit 대비 최대 10%의 역률이 향상되었고, IEC 61000-3-2 Class D 규격에 따른 경 부하 조건에서는 최대 4% 역률이 향상되었다.

본 논문에서는 정상분을 추출하여 이용하는 기존의 PLL 방식을 무정전전원장치에 적합한 형태로 개선한 PLL 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 PLL 방식은 기존의 PI 제어기에 주파수 제한기(limiter)와 안티 와인드업(anti-windup)을 추가하였다. 이것의 기본적인 동작 원리는 기존의 방법들과 같지만, 차이점은 주파수 제한기의 삽입으로 인하여 주파수 변동률을 일정한 범위 내에서 제한할 수 있다는 것이다. 기존의 PLL 방법과 제안된 주파수를 제한한 PLL 방법의 차이를 알아보기 위하여 동적 전압 보상기로 전압을 보상하는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 하였고, 결과적으로 제안된 주파수를 제한한 PLL 방법이 무정전전원장치에 적합함을 입증하였다.

As a fuel cell converts the chemical energy of the fuel cell into electrical energy by electrochemical reaction, the fuel cell system is uniquely integrated technique including fuel processor, fuel cell stack, power conditioning system. The residential fuel cell-PCS(Power Conditioning System) needs to convert efficiently the DC current produced by the fuel cell into AC current using single-phase DC-AC inverter. A single-phase DC-AC inverter has naturally low frequency ripple which is twice frequency of the output current. This low frequency(120Hz) ripple reduces the efficiency of the fuel cell. This paper presents notch filter with IP voltage controller to reject specific 120Hz current ripple in single-phase inverter. The notch filter is designed that suppress just only specific frequency component and no phase delay. Finally, the proposed notch filter design method has been verified with computer simulation and experimentation.

Commencing with incandescent light bulbs, every load today creates harmonics. Unfortunately, these loads vary with respect to their amount of harmonic content and their response to problems caused by harmonics. The prevalent difficulties with harmonics are voltage and current waveform distortions. In addition, Electronic equipment like computers, battery chargers, electronic ballasts, variable frequency drives, and switching mode power supplies generate perilous amounts of harmonics. Issues related to harmonics are of a greater concern to engineers and building designers because they do more than just distort voltage waveforms, they can overheat the building wiring, cause nuisance tripping, overheat transformer units, and cause random end-user equipment failures. Thus power quality is becoming more and more serious with each passing day. As a result, active power filters (APFs) have gained a lot of attention due to their excellent harmonic compensation. However, the performance of the active filters seems to have contradictions with different control techniques. The main objective of this paper is to analyze shunt active filters with fuzzy and pi controllers. To carry out this analysis, active and reactive current methods ($i_d-i_q$) are considered. Extensive simulations were carried out. The simulations were performed under balance, unbalanced and non sinusoidal conditions. The results validate the dynamic behavior of fuzzy logic controllers over PI controllers.

본 논문에서는 디지털 제어부를 공유하며, 회로 동작시간의 분배 방식을 통해 다중 출력을 지원하는 SMPS를 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 Pseudo Relaxation Oscillating 기법의 DPWM 발생기를 사용한다. 제안된 SMPS는 회로의 동작시간 분배 방식을 사용하여 기존의 DPWM 발생기에서 문제가 되는 큰 면적의 디지털 로직 컨트롤러를 공유하는 형태이기 때문에 칩 면적과 효율 측면에서 큰 이점을 가지지만, 각 DPWM 발생기의 실시간 제어가 어려우며 불안정한 출력 전압을 공급할 수 있다는 단점을 가진다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 동작시간 분배 방식으로 인해 동작클록이 인가되지 않은 DPWM 발생기들의 출력전압을 실시간으로 피드백 받아 안정된 출력 전압을 공급할 수 있는 실시간 전류 보정 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 SMPS를 100MHz의 내부 제어 동작 주파수와 10MHz 스위칭 주파수로 동작시킬 시, 소모되는 내부 코어 회로의 최대 전류는 4.9mA이며, 출력 버퍼를 포함한 전체 시스템의 전력 소모는 30mA이다. 또한 800mA, 100KHz의 load current regulation 조건으로 시뮬레이션 시, 3.3V 출력전압에 대한 최대 리플 전압은 11mV, Over/Undershoot voltage는 각각 10mV, 19.6mV 이다. 코어 회로의 크기는 $700{\mu}m{\times}800{\mu}m$의 작은 면적으로 구현가능하다. 제안된 회로는 Dong-bu Hitek BCD $0.35{\mu}m$ 공정을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증되었다.

Are in electrical network have the characteristics of low current, high impedance and high frequency. Conventional controller does not have the are current interrupt function. Hence, in this paper are current controller is designed for the interruption of arc fault current.

Unified power flow controller (UPFC) is the most reliable device in the FACTS concept. It has the ability to adjust all three control parameters effective in power flow and voltage stability. In this paper, a linearized model of a power system installed with a UPFC has been presented. UPFC has four control loops that by adding an extra signal to one of them, increases dynamic stability and load angle oscillations are damped. In this paper, after open loop eigenvalue (electro mechanical mode) calculations, state-space equations have been used to design damping controller and it has been considered to influence active and reactive power flow durations as the input of damping controller, in addition to the common speed duration of synchronous generators as input damper signal. To increase stability, further Lead-Lag and LQR controllers, a novel on-line adaptive controller has been used analytically to identify power system parameters. Closed-loop calculations of the electro mechanical mode verify the improvement of system pole placement after controller designing. Suitable operation of adaptive controller to decrease rotor speed oscillations against input mechanical torque disturbances is confirmed by the simulation results.

This paper proposes a novel scheme for the current controller for the grid-side converter (GSC) of permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind turbines to eliminate the high-order harmonics in the grid currents under grid voltage disturbances. The voltage unbalance and harmonics in three-phase systems cause grid current distortions. In order to mitigate the input current distortions, multi-loop current controllers are applied, where the positive-sequence component is regulated by proportional-integral (PI) controllers, and the negative-sequence and high-order harmonic components are regulated by proportional-resonance (PR) controllers. For extracting the positive/negative-sequence and harmonic components of the grid voltages and currents without a phase delay or magnitude reduction, composite observers are applied, which give faster and more precise estimation results. In addition, an active damping method using PR controllers to damp the grid current component of the resonant frequency is employed to improve the operating stability of VSCs with inductor-capacitor-inductor (LCL) filters. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation and experimental results.
