DOCR can be used to efficiently increase the reliability and to protect the bi-directional D/L(Distribution Lines). As more DG(Distributed Generation)s attempt to connect the bi-directional D/L, there is an increasing need for studies of how to use DOCR installed in the D/L. This paper investigates the operating principles of DOCR and presents the results an effect of sequence and fault impedance in L-L(Line to Line) fault. An advanced DOCR operating algorithm is proposed to reduce the mal-operation of conventional DOCR. The proposed algorithm is applied to the bi-directional power flow system and shows that it decreases the mal-operation of DOCR through the computer simulation.

In this paper, bi-directional buck-boost DC-DC converter for bus regulation system is presented. This converter which has one buck and one boost topology achieves bi-directional power flow using a common power inductor and alternative power switches. By connecting the battery to bus line, it can be regulated to bus voltage and charged the battery alternatively. And as an application, a mode controller is adopted to the converter.

This paper presents a topology for a modular power electronic transformer (PET) and a control scheme. The proposed PET consists of a cascaded H-Bridge rectifier on the primary side, a high-frequency DC/DC conversion cell in the center, and a cascaded H-Bridge inverter on the secondary side. It is practical to use PETs in power systems to reduce the cost, weight and size. A detailed analysis of the structure is carried out by using equivalent circuit. An algorithm to control the voltages of each capacitor and to maintain the power flow in the PET is established. The merits are analyzed and verified in theory, including the bi-directional power flow, variable voltage/frequency and high power factor on the primary side. The experimental results validated the propose structure and algorithm.

Flow and pressure ripple in swash plate type piston pumps is largely dependent on the design of notches(silencing grooves) in the valve plate. In uni-directional pumps, the basic design concept for notches in the valve plate could be said to be established. It is easily deduced that the design concept for notches in uni-directional pumps can not be simply applied to bi-directional pumps requested for EHA(electric hydrostatic actuators). To carry out systematic research on technological issues regarding notch applications to bi-directional piston pumps, five notch designs are devised. The effects of the notch designs on the characteristics of the pump are investigated by numerical simulations and experiments. Through this study, basic concepts about notch design for bi-directional piston pumps are suggested.

This paper proposes a 3.3-kW bi-directional EV charger with V2G and V2H functions. The bi-directional EV charger consists of a DC-DC converter and a DC-AC inverter. The proposed EV charger is suitable for wide battery voltage control due to the two-stage configuration of the DC-DC converter. By employing a fixed-frequency series loaded resonant converter as the isolated DC-DC converter, zero-current-switching can be achieved regardless of battery voltage variation, load variation, and power flow. A 3.3-kW prototype of the proposed EV charger has been built and verified with experiments, and indicates a maximum efficiency of 94.39% and rated efficiency of 94.23%.

A family of non-isolated DC-DC three-port converters (TPCs) that allows for a more flexible power flow among a renewable energy source, an energy storage device and a current-reversible DC bus is introduced. Most of the reported non-isolated topologies in this area consider only a power consuming load. However, for applications such as hybrid-electric vehicle braking systems and DC microgrids, the load power generating capability should also be considered. The proposed three-port family consists of one unidirectional port and two bi-directional ports. Hence, they are well-suited for photovoltaic (PV)-battery-DC bus systems from the power flow viewpoint. Three-port converters are derived by combining different commonly known power converters in an integrated manner while considering the voltage polarity, voltage levels among the ports and the overall voltage conversion ratio. The derived converter topologies are able to allow for seven different modes of operation among the sources and load. A three-port converter which integrates a boost converter with a buck converter is used as a design example. Extensions of these topologies by combining the soft-switching technique with the proposed design example are also presented. Experiment results are given to verify the proposed three-port converter family and its analysis.

This paper proposes a distribution voltage control method when a voltage increase condition occurs due to reverse power flow from the clustered photovoltaic (PV) system. This proposed distribution voltage control is performed a by distribution-unified power flow controller (D-UPFC). D-UPFC consists of a hi-directional ac-ac converter and transformer. It does not use any energy storage component or rectifier circuit, but it directly converts ac to ac. The distribution model and D-UPFC voltage control using the ATP-EMTP program were simulated and the results show the voltage increase control in the distribution system.

기존의 배전계통은 전원 측인 배전용변전소에서 부하 측인 수용가로 전력을 단 방향으로 공급하는 것이 일반적이지만, 태양광과 풍력 등과 같은 분산전원이 배전계통에 연계되는 경우에는 분산전원에서 발생하는 전력이 계통으로 공급되는 역 조류가 발생하여 기존의 시스템과 달리 양방향으로 전력이 공급되게 된다. 이러한 양방향 전력공급은 기존의 시스템에 악 영향을 끼칠 수 있는데, 배전선로에 설치되어 있는 보호협조기기에 심각한 문제점을 발생시킬 수 있다. 특히 기존의 구간 개폐기는 주 전원 측의 전력만 감지할 뿐, 분산전원 측의 역 조류 감지 및 보호를 하지 못해 오동작을 일으킬 가능성이 존재한다. 이러한 경우 분산전원의 단독 운전뿐만 아니라 배전계통과 분산전원의 비동기 투입에 의하여 배전계통에 악영향을 끼칠 수도 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이에 대한 대책으로서 역 조류를 감지하는 구간 개폐기의 양방향 동작 알고리즘을 제시하고, 이에 대한 성능을 확인하기 위하여, 배전계통의 대표적인 해석 S/W인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 또한 보호기기 모의시험 장치를 제작하여 하드웨어적인 시험 결과를 분석하여, 본 논문에서 제안한 구간개폐기의 양방향 동작 알고리즘에 대한 효용성과 타당성을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes an efficient bi-directional DC/DC converter topology using multi-phase interleaved method for power storage system. The proposed converter topology is used for a power storage system using a vanadium redox flow battery(VRFB) and is configured to enable bidirectional power flow for charging and discharging of VRFB. Proposed DC/DC converter of the 4 leg method is reduced to 1/4 times the rating of the reactor and the power semiconductor device so can be reduce the system size. Also, proposed topology is obtained the effect of four times the switching frequency as compared to the conventional converter in each leg with a 90 degree phase shift 4 leg method. This can suppress the reduction of the life of the secondary battery because it is possible to reduce the current ripple in accordance with the charging and discharging of VRFB and may increase the efficiency of the entire system. In this paper, it proposed bidirectional high-efficiency DC/DC converter topology Using multi-phase interleaved method and proved the validity through simulations and experiments.
