Recently, various types of ships are facing with a challenge to adopt the high efficient and environment-friendly power generating systems. For the reduction of exhaust emissions, improvement of thermal efficiency, and lowering the noise and vibration levels, fuel cells are gaining the much more interests. This paper projects the future marine fuel cell market on the basis of considering the historical world shipbuilding and marine engine market. To do this, the number of total ship is, at first, obtained by forecasting the number of annual new shipbuilding orders and completions. Finally, fuel cell market is forecasted by obtaining the engine capacity for annual world total number of ships and engine orders.

In this paper, we present technical survey results on propulsion systems for Personal Air Vehicles (PAV). Reciprocating engines are suitable for current PAVs because of their superior efficiency and price advantages, except they produce noise problems. Turbo-Shaft engines are suitable for VTOL PAVs because of high specific power and wide operating range even though they are expensive. However, fuel cells and batteries may replace conventional engines in the near future.

폐기물, 석탄 등 다양한 시료의 가스화 반응을 통해서 발생되는 합성가스는 CO, $H_2$, $CO_2$가 주성분으로 가스엔진, 가스터빈 등의 연료로 사용하여 발전하거나 합성반응을 통해 다양한 화학원료로의 전환이 가능하다. 또한 폐기물, 석탄 등의 다양한 원료의 가스화 반응에 의해 발생한 합성가스로부터 F-T(Fischer-Tropsch) 합성을 통한 인조합성석유, Non F-T 합성을 통한 메탄올, DME(Dimethyl Ether) 등을 제조할 수 있으며, 메탄화 반응을 통해 대체천연가스(SNG, Substitute Natural Gas)로 제조하여 활용하는 방안도 가능하다. 또한 현재 상업용 규모의 수소 제조 방법 중에서 가장 경제적인 방법으로 천연가스를 개질하여 CO, $H_2$가 주성분인 합성가스를 만든 다음 수성가스 전환, PSA(Pressure Swing Adsorption)통해 $CO_2$와 $H_2$를 분리하여 생산하고 있으나, 천연가스 가격의 상승 및 다양한 시료로부터 향후 경제성 확보가 가능한 수소 제조 방법에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 석탄 가스화 및 폐기물 가스화를 통해 얻어진 합성가스로부터의 수소 제조 공정이 개발 및 상업화 추진되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 폐기물 가스화를 통해 발생한 합성가스에 대하여 수성가스 전환 반응을 통한 수소 생산 특성 및 수성가스 전환 반응의 공간속도 변화 및 스팀주입량 변화에 따른 반응 특성을 고찰하였다.

This paper presents results of the development of the turbo generator system with structure which is HSG(High Speed Generator) installed directly to gas-turbine engine. Turbo generator with a high speed motor-generator directly has many advantages aspects of weight, size, lubrication system and complexity of the system compared of conventional turbo generator system with a gear box. But because of direct high speed operation of the high speed generator, we have to need stable high speed motor driving algorithm for perfect engine ignition when engine start. Also we have to need the design of the Power conditioning unit(PCU) for converting high speed AC output power to conventional AC power or needed DC power.

In order to improve the emission of diesel engines, natural gas-diesel dual fuel combustion compression ignition engines are in the spotlight. In particular, a reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) combustion strategy is investigated comprehensively due to its possibility to improve both efficiency and emissions. With advanced diesel direct injection timing earlier than TDC, it achieves spontaneous reaction with overall lean mixture from a homogeneous mixture in the entire cylinder area, reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) and improving braking heat efficiency at the same time. However, there is a disadvantage in that the amount of incomplete combustion increases in a low load region with a relatively small amount of fuel-air. To solve this, sensitive control according to the diesel injection timing and fuel ratio is required. In this study, experiments were conducted to improve efficiency and exhaust emissions of the natural gas-diesel dual fuel engine at low load, and evaluate combustion stability according to the diesel injection timing at the operation point for power generation. A 6 L-class commercial diesel engine was used for the experiment which was conducted under a 50% load range (~50 kW) at 1,800 rpm. Two injectors with different spray patterns were applied to the experiment, and the fraction of natural gas and diesel injection timing were selected as main parameters. Based on the experimental results, it was confirmed that the brake thermal efficiency increased by up to 1.3%p in the modified injector with the narrow-angle injection added. In addition, the spray pattern of the modified injector was suitable for premixed combustion, increasing operable range in consideration of combustion instability, torque reduction, and emissions level under Tier-V level (0.4 g/kWh for NOx).

Engine test as well as unload test of starting motor itself was performed to evaluate the braking characteristics of starting system used for initial spin-up of gas turbine for power generation. Through the experimental evaluation of the braking performance with the capacity of braking resistor of the starting motor, we have achieved quantitative data to secure robust braking characteristics in emergency during the starting period of the gas turbine. It is possible to establish a capacity selection criterion of braking resistor to ensure the starting reliability of the gas turbine.

Range extenders, which are power generation systems driven by small engines, extend the driving distance and time of electric vehicles (EVs) through continuous charging of batteries. The currently used range extenders with gasoline engines pose limitations with regard to the realization of high-power compact systems, owing to their complex structure and low energy density. In contrast, micro gas turbine (MGT) range extenders (MGT power packs) possess high power and low weight, and can therefore be significantly reduced in size despite increase in speed. In this study, an MGT power pack for the range extenders of EVs was developed using a turbo-prop micro turbine, an alternator for passenger vehicles and electric batteries. The operating characteristics of the MGT power pack were measured through a series of experiments conducted under electrical no-load and load conditions. Their power generation performance and efficiency were measured under various electrical loads and power transmission gear ratios. From the results, electrical load was found to have no influence on power generation performance. The maximum electrical power output was 0.8 kW at a core turbine speed of 150 krpm, and the application of 3:1 reduction gear to the turbine output shaft increased the power to 1.5 kW by 88%. This implies that the test results demonstrated stable power generation performance of the MGT power pack regardless of vehicle load changes, thus revealing its feasibility for use with the range extenders of EVs.

The product to be developed in this study is a heat recovery device which generates steam or hot water at high temperature and high pressure by heating water using exhaust gas from diesel engine, gas engine, gas turbine, etc. as an exhaust gas boiler off heat boiler(EGB) type for ship and power generation. The steam vapor or the created warm water is used as the power source required for the steerage heating and hot water facility or the HFO heating of the ship, and the turbine drive. The principle of waste heat boilers serves to heat water as high temperature exhaust gas with heat pass through the tube of the boiler. The heated water is a structure that is sent to a cabin or turbine device in the form of steam. In this study, the objective of this study is to maximize the efficiency by increasing the heat transfer surface by replacing the tube which is the heat transfer part of EGB with the plate tube.
