오류역전파 신경망을 인산형 연료전지의 조업변수인 산소 및 수소 유량, 작동온도에 대하여 학습시켜 연료전지 모델을 구성하였다. 또한 구성된 모델을 이용하여 다양한 조업조건에서의 단위전지 성능을 예측하여 이를 실험결과와 비교하였으며, 학습된 신경망을 ASPEN PLUS의 단위공정으로 도입하여 50kW 출력의 연료전지 공정을 구성한 후 조업변수에 대한 영향을 살펴보았다. 3개의 층으로 구성된 오류역전파 신경망은 학습단계상수와 모멘텀이 각각 0.7 및 0.9인 경우 단위전지 성능곡선을 가장 정확히 학습하였으며, 이에 의하여 구성된 신경망 모델은 수소 및 산소의 유량, 온도의 변화에 따른 단위전지 성능곡선의 변화를 정확히 예측하였다. 연료전지 전체공정의 모사에서는 개질기의 경우 $600^{\circ}C$의 상압에서 수증기/탄화수소 비율이 2.6일 때, 연료전지의 경우 작동온도가 190~20$0^{\circ}C$일 때 연료전지의 출력이 최대값을 나타내었으며, 단위전지의 전기화학적 효율은 약 45%, 수소이용률은 약 61%, 발전시스템 전체의 효율은 18%이었다.

분산 형 전원 및 석탄 가스화와 연계한 복합 발전이 가능한 용융탄산염 연료전지(MCFC : Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell)는 천연가스, 석탄가스 등 다양한 연료를 사용할 수 있고, 공해요인이 적고, 높은 에너지 변환효율을 가지고 있어 전력사업 분야에 적용 가능성이 가장 큰 새로운 발전방식이다. 국내에서도 1993년부터 선도기술개발 사업의 하나로 시작하여 현재 250 kW급 발전시스템 개발 연구가 진행되고 있다. 250 kW개발 전 수행한 100 kW급 MCFC 발전 시스템 개발 연구에서는 6,000cm2 급 단위전지 90장으로 구성된 50 kW급 MCFC 스택 2기 로 구성된 100 kW MCFC 스택과 이를 운전 평가를 위한 시스템을 완성하였다. 2005년부터 스택운전에 필요한 시스템 내 단위기기들에 대한 시운전을 진행 한 후 장착된 100 kW MCFC 스택 운전에서는 시스템 단위 기기의 고장으로 전 부하운전을 실시하지 못했지만 상압 상태에서 AC 50 kW 전력을 계통과 연계 운전 시험을 진행하였다. 향후 100 kW MCFC 시스템 보완후 재 운전 시험을 진행할 예정이다. 한편 병행하여 진행되는 250 kW 열병합 발전 시스템 개발에서는 시스템 상세설계 및 신형 분리판을 이용한 새로운 형태의 스택을 개발 운전시험을 진행하고 있다. 여기에서는 MCFC 발전 시스템의 개요와 시스템의 운전을 위한 운전 모드 그리고 스택 운전 내용을 요약하여 소개하고자 한다.

The performance of fuel cell/gas turbine hybrid systems is highly affected by system configuration. In this study, the performance of a hybrid system combining a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) and an indirectly fired gas turbine was predicted. Firstly, general performance trends of the hybrid system depending on major design parameters were examined. Then, the most feasible design options with the least impact on the MCFC stack design conditions were drawn. The economic advantage of the hybrid system over the basic MCFC only system was evaluated.

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system receives great attention as a promising power device for automotive applications. For the wide commercialization, the efficiency and performance of automotive PEMFC system should be further improved in terms of total system (stack and balance of plant [BOP]). Air supply module, which is a major part of the BOP, greatly affects the efficiency of automotive PEMFC system. In this paper, a systematic study on the low-pressure automotive PEMFC system was made in an attempt to enhance the net system efficiency. This study mainly presents an investigation of the effect of blower configuration (1-blower and 2-blower) on the net system efficiency of automotive PEMFC system. For this purpose, the effect of operating pressure and cathode stoichiometry on the system efficiency was investigated with stack temperature under the fixed net system power condition. Results indicate that 1-blower system is better in system efficiency over 2-blower system under an air stoichiometry of 2. However, 2-blower system is better in system efficiency under an air stoichiometry of 3. The simulation results show that the optimum operating strategy needs to be established for various blower system configurations considering blower performance maps.

In this paper, the organic material Poly(methyl methacrylate) PMMA is used with inorganic $Al_2O_3$ to fabricate organic-inorganic multilayer barrier thin films. The organic thin films are developed using a roll-to-roll electrohydrodynamic atomization system, whereas the inorganic are grown using a roll-to-roll low-temperature atmospheric pressure atomic layer deposition system. For the first time, these two technologies are used together to develop organic-inorganic multilayer barrier thin films in atmospheric condition. The films are grown under optimized parameters and classified into three classes based on the layer structures, when the total thickness of the barrier is maintained at ~ 160 nm. All classes of barriers show good morphological, optical and chemical properties. The $Al_2O_3$ films with a low average arithmetic roughness of 1.58 nm conceal the non-uniformity and irregularities in PMMA thin films with a roughness of 5.20 nm. All classes of barriers show a notably good optical transmission of ~ 85 %. The hybrid organic-inorganic barriers show water vapor and oxygen permeation in the range of ${\sim}3.2{\times}10^{-2}g/m^2/day$ and $0.015cc/m^2/day$ at $23^{\circ}C$ and 100% relative humidity. It has been confirmed that it can be mass-produced and used as a low-cost barrier thin film in various printing electronic devices.

The potential change, and the crossover of alcohol in a liquid-feed solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell operating at atmosphere and room temperature was investigated. Alcohol crossover was generated from all the alcohol by using the fuel. The single-cell property of direct methanol fuel cell was higher than that of other alcohol species as $31mW/cm^2$ at 0.23 V at 4.5M of methanol.

This paper presents quasi-resonant type high power factor ac power supply for atmospheric pressure plasma cleaning system adopting three phase PFC boost converter and it's control method. The presented ac power supply consists of single phase H-bridge inverter, step-up transformer for generating high voltage and three phase PFC boost converter for high power factor on source utility. Unlikely to the traditional LC resonant converter, the propose one has an inductor inside only. A single resonant takes place through the inside inductor and the capacitor from the plasma load modeled into two series capacitor and one resistance. The quasi-resonant can be achieved by cutting the switching signal when the load current decrease to zero. To obtain power control ability, the propose converter controlled by two control schemes. One is the changing output pulse period scheme in the manner of PFM(Pulse Frequency Modulation) control. On the other, to provide more higher power to load, the DC rail voltage is directly controlled by the 3-phase PFC boost converter. The significant merits of the proposed converter are the uniform power providing capability for high quality plasma generation and low reactive power in AC and DC side. The proposed work is verified through digital simulation and experimental implementation.

Circulating fluidized bed system consists of SEWGS reactor - lower loop seal - regeneration reactor - riser - cyclone - upper loop seal has been used for solid circulation between the SEWGS reactor and the regeneration reactor in a SEWGS system for pre-combustion $CO_2$ capture. A vertical type lower loop seal has been used in current system but this lower loop seal requires high gas flow rate through the lower loop seal for fluidization and smooth solid circulation, and consequently, causes slugging behavior sometimes. To overcome these disadvantages, inclined type lower loop seal was proposed by this study. Solid circulation characteristics with change of lower loop seal geometry were measured and compared in a bubbling - bubbling - riser type circulating fluidized bed using $CO_2$ absorbent (P-78) as bed material at ambient temperature and pressure. We could conclude that the inclined lower loop seal is better than the vertical type lower loop seal from the viewpoints of minimum flow rate requirement for stable solid circulation and solid height change during solid circulation.

Passive autocatalytic recombiner (PAR) is considered as an explosive gas control system in operating NPP plants. This work investigates and evaluates hydrogen recombination performance over manufactured $Pt/TiO_2$ catalysts. When the space velocity increases, the hydrogen conversion decreased, while hydrogen depletion rate (g/sec) increases highly in $35000{\sim}100000hr^{-1}$ Gas Hourly Space Velocity (GHSV). Hydrogen conversion and depletion rate with Pt loading is investigated. As a result, there were no differences in the hydrogen conversion, but exothermic heating rate (K/sec) is increases as Pt loading increases. The catalyst showes a high hydrogen conversion efficiency of 80% under atmospheric conditions.
