CFRP is often used as lightweight hull material for luxury yachts or special-service ships. An electric propulsion system is also eco-friendly, and has been trialled to equip a small vessel as its main propulsion. In this study, replacing the hull materials and propulsion system with CFRP and electric motors, we made an estimate of the effect of weight reduction and compared it to the original design, for this purpose a case study was conducted on a 45-ft yacht. When redesigning structures with CFRP, we applied the reinforcement content of the carbon fiber in the same way as the original (GC = 0.4), and when changing to the electric propulsion system, we designed motors and battery packs to achieve the same performance as the original. The result showed that CFRP and the electric propulsion system could make the structural and machinery weights 45 % and 58 % lighter, respectively. However, in terms of efficiency, it was confirmed that the electric propulsion system is practically inefficient because it requires a huge amount of battery packs for the same navigation range with diesel engines.

In the agricultural sector, power sources are being developed that use alternative energy sources such as electric tractors and hydrogen tractors, away from internal combustion engine tractors. As parts such as engines and transmissions used in conventional internal combustion engine tractors are replaced with motors and batteries, the center of gravity changes, and thus the risk of rollover should be considered. The purpose of this study is to analyze the overturn angle of the main parts of the electric tractor through dynamic simulation to minimize the overturn accident and to derive the optimal arrangement of parts to improve stability. A total of nine dynamics simulations were conducted by designing three components of the PTO motor, drive motor and the battery pack, and three factors of the arrangement method. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that Type3 Level3, in which the drive motor and the PTO motor are located at the front and rear of the tractor, and two battery packs are located in the middle of the tractor, has a high rollover angle. As a result of this study, the stability increased as the center of gravity was placed backward and located below. Future research needs to be done to find the optimal location of parts considering their performance and placement efficiency.

In this paper, the effect of battery-package shape of electric vehicle on the forced convection around a group of battery cells has been numerically investigated. Simulations for the two package shapes with straight/curved ducts have been conducted to examine the two design factors; the maximum temperature and the temperature deviation of a group of cells which influence the cell durability. The simulation of the conjugate heat transfer has been simplified by employing an equivalent thermal conductivity of cell that consists of various materials. It has been found that the maximum temperature and the temperature deviation of curved duct were lower than those of straight duct. Velocity fields have also been examined to describe the temperature distribution of a group of cells and the position of maximum temperature was found to be related to the dead zone of flow field.

Lithium-ion batteries have been designed and used as battery packs with series and parallel combinations that are suitable for use. However, due to its internal electrochemical properties, producing the battery's condition at the same value is impossible for individual cells. In addition, the management of characteristic deviations between individual cells is essential for the safe and efficient use of batteries as aging progresses with the use of batteries. In this work, we propose a method to manage deviation properties and detect abnormal behavior in the configuration of a combined battery pack of these multiple battery cells. The proposed method can separate and detect probabilistic low-frequency information according to statistical information based on Z-score. The verification of the proposed algorithm was validated using experimental results from 10S3P battery packs, and the implemented algorithm based on Z-score was validated as a way to effectively manage multiple individual cell information.

직접메탄올 연료전지는 액체 메탄올 저장의 이점을 가지고 있어 이동형 전원 등의 응용에 적합하며, 최근 군사용 통신 전원이나 노트북용 전원으로 사용하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 그러나 연료전지 스스로는 초기 기동을 할 수 없고 부하의 응답 특성에 빠르게 대응하기 어렵다. 따라서 연료전지와 배터리를 하이브리드로 구성하면 이러한 문제를 해결할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 연료전지에 대한 부하가 안정되어 수명 연장에도 긍정적인 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 직접메탄올 연료전지와 리튬 이차전지를 연계하여 하이브리드 시스템을 구성하고자한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 채널 형상에 따른 유동 및 차압을 해석하였으며, Single Cell, Short Stack 및 Stack의 특성을 평가하였다. 또한 하이브리드 시스템은 연료전지 스택, 연료전지 운전 장치, 리튬 이차전지, BMS, PCM, DC/DC Converter 등을 구성하여 시스템의 특성 등을 관찰하고자한다.

This paper is to derive information about the optimal shape of the pack has a minimum temperature range of a Li-ion battery equipped with a module. We selected the shape of the pack in order to reduce the temperature deviation between the batteries as a variable. And we derived the experimental points with a minimum of DOE by D-optimal. We analyzed the temperature and the flow within the battery pack by using a numerical analysis verified in previous studies. We derive the equation for the temperature variation in the objective function using the RSM and performed optimization. As a result, it was confirmed that with the variation in the $1.706e-4^{\circ}C$ when to apply an optimized shape.

Current rechargeable battery cannot provide high energy density and the operational durations required. But linear engine/generators provide high energy density for portable power applications because fuel is more high density. In this paper, we suggest that basic design of powerpack using linear engine for assisting power output. Efficiency is relatively high because linear engine don't have crank mechanism compared with rotary engine. We made prototype engine and had experiments to know moving characteristic about the Linear Engine. It was possible to operate velocity at 50 Hz at the firing and pressure in cylinder was 16bar.

Bimodal Tram is driven by both engine and Lithium Polymer battery pack which consists with 168 cells of LPB(80Ah, 650Vdc). LPB pack is very frequently charged and discharged in driving. Temperature inside of LPB pack makes an great effect on both charging and discharging capacity which seem to be related with LPB internal resistance. LPB internal resistance is increasing or little decreasing with the decreased temperature under 10 - $20^{\circ}C$ and the increased temperature over $30^{\circ}C$ which is similar to the temperature characteristics of single LPB cell. This paper has analyzed the driving characteristics of LPB pack for bimodal tram is running with either battery mode or hybrid mode.
