Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the utilization forms of hydrogen fuel cells, which are the core of building a smart city, and suggest ways to solve them. In the case of power plants to utilize hydrogen fuel cell, it was analyzed as the most promising form of use in the future due to the advantage of being free from intermittence problems. However, despite many advantages, local residents' opposition continues to emerge due to concerns about explosions and the problem of carbon dioxide generation in the case of certain hydrogen production methods, and it is analyzed that resolving them will be the main key to establishing the smart city. Finally, by analyzing the current hydrogen production method and identifying the problems facing it, the solution for the complete construction of the smart city was presented.

본 연구의 목적은 스마트시티 구축의 핵심인 수소연료전지의 활용형태를 분석하고 해결방안을 제시하는 것이다. 수소연료전지를 활용하는 발전소의 경우 간헐성 문제가 없다는 장점 때문에 향후 가장 유망한 사용 형태로 분석됐다. 다만 많은 장점에도 불구하고 폭발 우려와 특정 수소 생산방식의 경우 이산화탄소 발생 문제 등으로 지역주민들의 반발이 지속적으로 나타나고 있어 이를 해결하는 것이 스마트시티 구축의 주요 관건이 될 것으로 분석된다. 마지막으로 현재의 수소 생산방식을 분석하고 이에 따른 문제점을 파악하여 스마트시티의 완전한 구축을 위한 해결책을 제시하였다.
