 Resumo
A novel strategy, for control of the power flow for a smart micro-grid is proposed. The utility grid power is dynamically controlled by a Power Electronic Transformer (PET). A 60 Hz, step-down transformer is generally used at the point of common coupling (PCC), to connect the micro-grid to the power system grid. Substitution of the conventional 60Hz transformer, by a PET, results in enhanced micro-grid power management system, during grid-connected operation. The smart micro-grid is a set of controllable loads and distributed energy resources (DER); both renewable and non-renewable; that supply demand of a group of customers. The proposed dynamic power limiter (also referred to as PET) is a high-frequency, isolated power-converter system, comprised of a highfrequency step-down transformer and three-phase to single-phase matrix converters. The matrix converters are modulated with a novel pulse width modulation (PWM) strategy for a bi-directional power flow control.

Smart grid, a new source towards a more efficient and prosperous future Hong Ji-hye Korea University Graduate School of International Studies





초록 ( Abstract )
There is a growing agreement around the need we have to solve our problems from challenges like energy or power system security to issues on environment such as climate change by changing our ways that we supply and use energy. While the current power grid has leaded the economic growth over the past century and still works well, our electric infrastructure is rapidly running up against its limitations because the currently existing power grid has been expanded based on the 20th century design requirement which the important matters in contemporary days such as energy efficiency, environmental impacts and consumer choices were not considered at all. So, this is the time to invest for transforming into a more advanced grid system to achieve energy efficiency, good impacts on environment, and consumers’ empowerment. The advanced system which is considered as the most suitable model for a more energy efficient and prosperous future is a smart grid. When we deploy a smart grid, we will be able to realize more efficient, reliable, resilient, secure, responsive, and cleaner electric grid system. Moreover, as it is anticipated, a smart grid will be a driving force creating new business opportunities in energy market, electronic home appliances, automobile, and commercial or residential construction sector. So, both public and private sectors are making investment and promoting various activities to be the early movers in smart grid related areas. But as well as technical problems, we have financial challenges because transforming to a smart grid requires new and expensive investments and commitment by its many stakeholders. So understanding how the value of transforming to a smart grid will be created is an important step in defining the vision. And this is because why carefully designed regulations and standards and the most effective policy measures are required.

Avoiding Pitfalls in Coordination of Multi-Mode UPS and STS L Giuntini

1.Introduction
 Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) provide power conditioning and backup for mission critical applications, the typical example being the protection of Information Technology (IT) equipment in data centres installations. In this context, double-conversion is the preferred UPS topology [1], following the superior protection offered by the AC-DCAC conversion. However, the multiple conversion steps limit the efficiency of such topology. Therefore, some doubleconversion UPS have evolved towards Multi-mode operation, where efficiency is maximized by selecting the operating mode depending on the environmental conditions (namely, the power quality of the input mains). Performance of Multimode UPS and compatibility with the typical load requirements have been extensively discussed in [2, 3, 4]. At the same time, applications requiring the highest level of availability may improve their distribution reliability by means of redundancy. Particularly, multiple sources may be tied together by means of Static Transfer Switches (STS). These devices may switch between separate sources whenever the voltage of the active source is sensed as going out of given tolerances, just as in Multi-mode UPS. Therefore, the application of Multi-mode UPS operation and STS protection in the same installation poses significant challenges. This paper addresses the coordination of Multimode UPS and downstream STS by highlighting common pitfalls to be avoided,
