In this report, a method for estimating pulse power performance according to pulse duration is proposed. This approach can be used for power control logic in an environmentally friendly power generation system such as electric vehicles and an energy storage system (ESS). Although there have been studies on pulse power capability, we are unaware of any publications on the estimation of the magnitude of pulse power according to the power usage time, and the verification of the estimation result. Therefore, we propose a method to predict power performance according to the pulse duration of batteries and supercapacitors that are used in eco-friendly power generation systems. The proposed method is systematically presented using both a lithium-ion battery module with a nominal voltage of 44 V, 11 Ah, and a supercapacitor module with a maximum voltage of 36 V and a capacitance of 30 F.
Herein, the voltage and current output characteristics of a laser photovoltaic (PV) module applied to a wireless power transmission system using a laser beam are analyzed. First, an experiment is conducted to obtain the characteristic data of the voltage and current based on the laser output power of the laser PV module, which generates the maximum power from the laser beam at a wavelength of 1080 nm; subsequently, the small-signal voltage and current characteristics of the laser PV module are analyzed. From the analysis results, it is confirmed that the laser PV module has a characteristic in which the maximum power generation point varies according to the power level of the laser beam. In addition, similar to the solar cell module, it is confirmed that the laser PV module has a current source and a voltage source region, and it shows a small signal resistance characteristic having a negative value as the operating point goes to the current source region. In addition, in this paper, by reflecting these electrical characteristics, a method for designing the controller of a power converter capable of charging a battery while generating maximum power from a PV module is proposed. Since the laser PV module corresponds to the input source of the boost converter used as the power conversion unit, the small-signal transfer function of the boost converter, including the PV module, is derived for the controller design. Therefore, by designing a controller that can stably control the voltage of the PV module in the current source, the maximum power point, and voltage source regions defined according to the output characteristics of the laser PV module, the maximum power is generated from the PV module. Herein, a systematic controller design method for a boost converter for laser wireless power transmission is presented, and the proposed method is validated based on the simulation and experimental results of a 25-W-class boost converter based on a microcontroller unit control.
