To cope with severe global warming and environmental pollution problem regulations on automobile emissions and fuel efficiency has been tightened around the world. Therefore zero emission vehicles which do not use fossil fuels such as electric vehicles have attracted attention by government and both industry and academia at developed countries. In the market, electric vehicles are being selected from more and more consumers because of technological advances and policy support. Recently another zero emission vehicle, hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, is drawing attention and is expected to become deployed widely. This paper reviews technology, current status and global trends of zero emission vehicle. The economical analysis of zero emission vehicles are also presented.

Operating points of a fuel cell system (FCS) can be shifted to its high-efficiency region by hybridization in a fuel cell hybrid vehicle (FCHV), so the hydrogen can be saved. In this paper, the hydrogen consumption of an FCHV is compared to that of a fuel cell vehicle (FCV). A power management strategy is applied to the FCHV and the related simulation is carried out. The concept of equivalent hydrogen consumption is introduced in order to consider the effect of the difference between initial and final battery SOC on the total hydrogen consumption.

A fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) could be an alternative solution to gasoline powered vehicles. The Korean and Japanese governments have played the midwifery role in the development of the FCEV industry. This study explores the difference in policy goals for FCEV between the two countries. Koreans recognized that FCEV was innovative technology and put forward the notion of technology pre-occupancy. Whereas, the Japanese government discovered that FCEV was one way to apply hydrogen mechanisms, so they identified the supply of hydrogen as one of the industries of interest, and have played the demiurge role. This study suggests that the role of government is to introduce eco-friendly vehicles, using the cases of Korean and Japanese governments, who introduced FCEV to the world first.

In the ongoing debates over the need to identify new sources of energy and to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. Hydrogen has emerged as one of the most promising alternatives due to its emissions from the vehicle being virtually zero. The governments have identified the development of regulations and standards as one of the key requirements for commercialization of HFCV. Regulations and standards will help overcome technological barriers to commercialization. The development of Global Technical Regulation (GTR) for HFCV occurred under the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations. Development of a technique for safety assessment of HFCV include four tasks, research for regulation system and policy, hydrogen safety, vehicle operation safety and protection against high-voltage. The objective is to establish a technique for safety assessment and amend safety standards for HFCV and consequently reflect research results to vehicle management policy. We devised safety standards and evaluation techniques with regard to high-pressure gas and high voltage of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. KMVSS for HFCV was amended to June 10, 2014. including the results of the safety assessment technology for high-voltage and hydrogen characteristics.

Hydrogen fueled vehicle was evaluated as one of the next-generation technology that will be able to solve the global warming, depletion of fossil fuel and etc. The practical use of hydrogen fueled vehicle, nevertheless, is being delayed more than expected schedule due to various causes. In order to promote the dissemination of hydrogen fueled vehicle, development status and obstacle factors of practical use for hydrogen fueled vehicles were reviewed and the strategy plans for dissemination promotion were proposed. Hydrogen fueled vehicles are included the hydrogen fuel cell, neat and enriched hydrogen fueled engines. The technicalness, economy, safety, cognizance, system, support and etc were considered in the strategy plans.

본 논문에서는 전기자동차의 고전압 시스템의 안전성을 확보하기 위한 법규 규제안 생성 방법론을 제시하였다. 법규가 기술적으로 모든 영역을 빠뜨리지 않고 정의하고 있는지를 파악하기 위한 방법으로 법규분포분석법(Regulation Distribution Analysis Method)과 법규 완전도 분석법(Regulation Completeness Analysis Method)을 제시하였다. 자동차 설계와 생산에 있어서 법규/규제는 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 원칙적으로 법규는 자동차 승객과 환경을 보호하는 목적으로 생성되고, 이윤 추구 중심의 시장에서 놓칠 수 있는 기술적 항목들을 규제할 수 있도록 한다. 매연 배출 정도, 매연 모니터링 시스템, 전기 안전성과 같은 항목이 그 예이며, 향후 연료전기자동차 양산을 앞두고는 고전압 안전성과 관련된 규제 또한 필요하게 될 것으로 파악된다. 그러나 규제 항목에서 미정의된 부분이 있는지를 확인하는 체계적인 방법이 없어 본 논문에서는 기술적인 파라미터를 중심으로 규제항목을 검토하는 방법론을 제시하였다.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to reduce number of experiments. The CFD tools are widely used for engine design and flow pattern analysis to reduce experiments. In this study the performance of a PEMFC single cell was analyzed by using STAR-CD, product of CD-ADAPCO. The effect of cell design and flow pattern on the performance of a PEMFC was analyzed with the 3-D simulation. As a result the performance of rectangular cell was the higher than that of square cell, while the flow direction scarcely affected on the performance of a PEMFC. Also the current density according to different excess ratio of air flow rate was compared and analyzed. The difference between maximum and minimum current density of flip-flow was lower than that of co-flow.

This paper focuses on developing a model of a PEM fuel cell stack and to integrate it with realistic model of the air supply system for fuel cell vehicle application. The fuel cell system model is realistically and accurately simulated air supply operation and its effect on the system power and efficiency using simulation tool Matlab/Simulink. The Peak performance found at a pressure ratio of 3, and it give a 15mV increase per cell. The limit imposed is a minimum SR(Stoichiometric Ratio) of 2 at low fuel cell load and 2.5 at high fuel cell load.

최근 주요 자동차 업체들에서 수소 연료전지 자동차의 시장 출시 또는 출시 계획 발표가 이어지고 있다. 하지만 아직까지도 해결되어야 할 몇몇 기술적 문제들이 남아 있다. 시장 출시를 고려할 때 가장 민감한 요소 중 하나가 가격일 것이다. 이를 위해 여러 구성 부품들의 가격 저감이 필요하고, 특히 백금 촉매 사용량을 줄이는 것이 가격 저감에 상당한 영향을 미칠 것이다. 본 논문에서는 PEMFC용 Pt 기반 촉매의 성능 향상 메커니즘에 대해 소개하고 있는데, 촉매 성능의 향상은 촉매 사용량 저감에 상당한 기여를 할 수 있다. 최근까지 발표된 Pt 기반 촉매들의 성능 향상 메커니즘을 이해하는 것은 궁극적으로 연료전지 시스템에 사용되는 촉매 사용량을 절감할 수 있는 기초가 될 수 있을 것이다.
