With a growing concern over environmental issues, smaller and more energy efficient electronic devices continue to draw attention. Usually, high frequency has more advantages in making switching power smaller. A number of suppliers have already launched single-output power (single or double-digit W) which can be operated in high frequency (higher than 500kHz.) Despite increasing demand for multi-output high-capacity power, it is not easy to operate this power in high frequency. Reducing the loss of both switching components and transformer winding holds great significance in high frequency operation. This abstract is written to suggest a new transformer structure for multi-output (300W) high-frequency (500kHz) operation as well as present mathematical analysis and test results on the loss of transformer winding operated in high frequency. This suggestion can lead to approximately 40% of transformer size reduction compared to the existing one operated in 100kHz.

Renewable energy system such as a photovoltaic, a wind turbine generation and fuel cell has attracted attention as alternative energy sources of fossil fuel. However, a distributed generating system with the photovoltaic or the wind turbine generation is difficult to obtain a constant power supply. Thus control of power leveling system is required to maintain the balance of power flow for irregular power generation. The system is required to respond to change of voltage balance and bidirectional power flow of charge or discharge. Therefore the bidirectional buck/boost DC/DC converter with an electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) is applied for the control of PL system in this research. And the deadbeat control is applied to the system for obtaining quick and accurate response. This paper discusses the effectiveness of deadbeat control for power leveling unit by experiment.

This paper presents a real-time monitoring system for PV power plants based on a microcontroller Atmega328P-PU. The proposed system, whose performances can be relatively close to those achieved with commercial monitoring systems, is simple, low-cost and open source technology-based. In addition, a user interface, capable to communicate through a wireless network by using a standard communication protocol IEEE 802.15.1, is here presented. From the experimental tests described and discussed in this paper it is demonstrated that the proposed monitoring system provides, with adequate accuracy, all the information about the operating status of the PV plant, even during fault conditions.

In power electronics, Power Hardware-in-the-loop Simulation (PHILS) which consists of Hardware part and Digital Simulator part has attracted attention. This is the very useful tool to shorten development time and to simplify verification under complicated condition. However, it is known that instability is caused by the time delay between Digital Simulator and Hardware. This paper applies two methods to manage instability. One is model-base Smith method, and the other is the model-free Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning (FRIT) method. Experimental results indicate that two methods are effective in compensating the time delay and stabilizing PHILS system.

This paper develops an integrated traffic-power control algorithm based on a previously proposed cellular networks study. A real-time battery bank state of charge (SOC) estimation technique is introduced using predicted renewable energy. The proposed approach allows the cellular networks system to be more resilient by increasing power supply availability and reducing the excessive discharges which cause the battery bank life reduction. With the aim of mostly powering a base station (BS) from photovoltaic (PV) systems, the newly proposed control algorithm is compared with the previous study based on SOC cumulative distribution function (CDF).

This paper proposes state-of-charge (SOC) and remaining charge estimation algorithm of each cell in series-connected lithium-ion batteries. SOC and remaining charge information are indicators for diagnosing cell-to-cell variation; thus, the proposed algorithm can be applied to SOC- or charge-based balancing in cell balancing controller. Compared to voltage-based balancing, SOC and remaining charge information improve the performance of balancing circuit but increase computational complexity which is a stumbling block in implementation. In this work, a simple current sensor-less SOC estimation algorithm with estimated current equalizer is used to achieve aforementioned object. To check the characteristics and validate the feasibility of the proposed method, a constant current discharging/charging profile is applied to a series-connected battery pack (twelve 2.6Ah Li-ion batteries). The experimental results show its applicability to SOC- and remaining charge-based balancing controller with high estimation accuracy.

The application benefits of operating stationary batteries in a partial state of charge (PSoC) can be significant. Emerging markets and applications which require dynamic cycling operation with high charge efficiency, such as, utility scale energy storage and hybrid telecommunications sites can especially benefit from this mode of operation. PSoC operation improves charge efficiency (up to 99%) and reduces the degradation of the components associated with overcharging the battery, such as, positive grid corrosion and electrolyte decomposition. Prior to recent advances in lead carbon technologies, the operation of a lead acid battery system in PSoC operation typically resulted in the rapid and unrecoverable loss of the batteries capacity due to sulfation of the negative electrode. However, with the modification of the battery with carbon technology, the stabilization of the negative against sulfation is possible and PSoC operation can become the preferred mode of operation for the lead carbon battery system. Furthermore, by engineering key properties of the positive and negative electrodes, the benefits can be significant without impacting other performance, safety and reliability characteristics of the battery.

In this paper, an analytical expression for the DC bus harmonics on the input capacitor, caused by a three phase pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter of a high speed motor drive system, is derived. As the result, we found that the parasitic line inductance between the battery and the input capacitor, and the input capacitor are indirectly proportional. We can achieve the calculation method of the voltage ripple of the input capacitor including the parasitic components. Furthermore, the voltage ripple of the battery can be calculated by the switching function using the Bessel function.

The power conditioning system (PCS) is widely used as a grid connected inverter to keep output constant. A novel power conditioning system (PCS) using a circuit of modular multi-level converter (MMC) construction is investigated. The feature of the system is that output voltage becomes multilevel for low distortion and circuit has an energy storage system such as a battery or an electric double layer capacitor (EDLC). Thus it is convenient for the PV system of which input changes irregularly to apply the circuit with MMC structure. In this paper, the proposed novel PCS is introduced and the control method for the system is proposed. Effectiveness of the proposed PCS is considered by simulation.
