In remote islands PV (Photo Voltaic) panel with BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) supplies electric power to the customers in parallel operation with EG (Engine Generator) to save fuel consumption and to mitigate environmental load. BESS operates in voltage control mode when it supplies power to the load alone, while it operates in current control mode when it supplies power to the load in parallel with EG. This paper proposes a smooth mode change scheme from current control to voltage control of BESS by adding proper initial value to the integral part of voltage control, and a smooth mode change scheme from voltage control to current control by tracking the EG output voltage to the BESS output voltage using PLL (Phase-Locked Loop). The feasibility of proposed schemes was verified through computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC, and the feasibility of actual hardware system was verified by experiments with scaled prototype. It was confirmed that the proposed schemes offer a seamless operation in the stand-alone power system in remote islands.

In this paper, a model predictive voltage control (MPVC) for the DC-DC buck-boost converters is proposed. It provides a fast seamless bidirectional control method to maintain the DC grid voltage, battery voltage and current within predefined limits. In addition, an inner current control loop is not employed, so that the bandwidth of controller can be higher compared with the PI controller.

발전용 연료전지시스템에서 PCS를 여러 대 병렬운전하게 되는 경우 계통에 이상이 발생하여 단독운전으로 모드전환 시 각 계통연계 스위치의 동작 시간 차이 및 각 제어기의 연산시간 차이에 의해 단일 인버터의 모드전환 시 보다 더 큰 과도상태가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 병렬 연결된 3상 계통연계 인버터에서 과도상태를 최소화 할 수 있는 병렬운전 기법을 선정하고 과도상태 없이 모드전환 할 수 있는 간접전류 제어기법을 제안한다.

발전용 연료전지 시스템에서 PCS는 계통에 고장 발생시 MBOP등 전용부하에 지속적인 전력을 공급하기 위하여 모드 전환하여 단독운전을 해야 한다. 기존의 제어방식은 계통연계시 전류제어를, 단독운전 시 전압제어를 하기 때문에 이러한 모드 전환 시 전용부하는 심각한 과도상태에 놓이게 된다. 본 논문에서는 모드 전환에 따른 전압의 과도현상을 최소화하기 위한 개선된 간접전류제어 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 방식은 기존의 알고리즘보다 연산량이 작아 구현이 간단하며 제어기의 모델링이 가능해져 제어 파라미터 설정이 용이해졌다.

분산발전에 있어 인버터는 병렬운전을 하게 되며 계통연계시 전류제어로, 단독운전 시에는 전압제어를 통해 제어가 이뤄진다. 단독운전 시 각 인버터들 간 동일한 부하 분담이 필요하고 계통연계에서 단독운전 또는 그 반대로 모드 변환이 있을때 과도한 상태변화가 없어야 한다. 계통연계와 단독운전에서 지역부하에 위치에 따른 고려와 모드 변환 시 과도현상을 줄이기 위해 간접전류제어방식을 사용하였고 단독운전 시 동일 부하 분담을 위해 드룹제어를 사용하였다. 각 모드 변환에 있어 매끄러운 절환을 유지하기 위해 Seamless Transfer를 기반으로 제어전략을 수립하였다.

We propose a seamless IPTV transport technology of mobile device. This technology uses multiple interfaces of wireless communication on mobile device. This proposal for transportation of mobile IPTV contents is more mobile and adaptable than other wireless technologies that are currently being used. Algorithm of proposed technology is as follow. When the signal strength of the connected wireless network interface of mobile device is getting lower than specified level, another wireless network interface is connected to continue downloading the IPTV contents in advance. Another connection is maintained until the signal strength of the first connected interface is stable or the interface is connected to another base station (or AP) that have good signal strength. For more seamless services, we consider classifying the packets of mobile IPTV and using dynamic content quality select techniques. Dynamic content quality selection is based on notifying transfer rate to the content delivery network (CDN) server. The proposed technology is expected to use efficiently with both mobile IPTV and the transportation of mobile P2P/P4P.

This paper proposes a hybrid ESS that integrates an energy storage system (ESS) with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The hybrid ESS has a demand management and emergency power supply function while increasing the battery utilization of the UPS, which has just been used in a power failure. In addition to the critical load, the proposed system augments the capacity of emergency generation using an additional load, which has voltage and frequency-dependent characteristics to the grid side. The control algorithm of the AC-DC converter and bidirectional DC-DC converter is proposed for demand management and emergency power supply. Furthermore, seamless and autonomous transfer methods to alleviate the transient during mode transfer are proposed. To validate the proposed control scheme, experimental results from a 5 kW prototype are provided.

As a major type of heat exchanger, the steam generator (SG) produces steam from heat energy of a nuclear power plant reactor. The steam produced by the steam generator flows into a turbine, and plays an important role in electric power generation. The heat transfer tubes in the steam generator consist of approximately 10,000 U-shaped tubes, which perform a structural role and act as thermal boundaries. The heat transfer tubes conduct the thermal energy between the primary coolant (about $320^{\circ}C$, $157kgf/cm^2$) obtained from the reactor and the secondary coolant (about $260^{\circ}C$, $60kgf/cm^2$) as part of the secondary system. Recently, the heat transfer tubes in the steam generator of the pressurized water reactor (PWR) are primarily produced from Alloy 600 and Alloy 690 seamless tubes. As a pilot study to find process parameters for the cold U-bending process using rotary draw bending, numerical and experimental investigations were conducted to produce U-shaped tubes from long straight SUS304L seamless tubes. 3D finite element simulations were run using ABAQUS Explicit with consideration of the elastic recovery. The process parameters studied were the angular speed, the operation period and the bending angle. Experimental verifications were conducted to insure the suitability of the final U-shaped configurations with respect to both ovality and wall thickness.

Ubiquitous computing is a study area explained in a myriad of contexts and technological terms. Payment, however, refers in nature to an act of money transfer from one entity to another, and it is obvious that a payment method will be valued as long as the transaction can be completed with safety no matter what technology was used. The key to U-payment is convenience and security in the transfer of financial information. The purpose of this paper is to find a desirable U-payment scheme by looking at the characteristics of seamlessness under the ubiquitous environments, strong personal device, and peer-based information transactions. We also propose U-SDT Protocol integrating technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Bluetooth, Personal Payment Device, Account Managing Application and Transaction ID as a way to make transactions between users seamless and secure better privacy protection.
