수력, 화력, 원자력 다음으로 제 4의 전원으로서 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 연료전지는 연료가 가지고있는 화학에너지를 직접에너지로 변환시키는 점에서 종래의 발전 기술과는 원리적으로 다르며, 카르노(Carnot)사이클에 의한 에너지 변환 효율의 제한을 받지 않기 때문에 효율이 높으며 공해가 없는 특징을 가지고 있다. 연료전지의 발전 방식은 작동 온도, 전해질 등에 의해서 분류되나 현재 실용화단계의 기술은 인산형연료전지 발전이다. 인산형 연료전지의 발전용 연료는 천연가스, 메탄올, 납사 등과 같은 탄화수소 계열의 다양한 연료를 사용할 수 있으며, 이들 연료들을 수소가 많이 함유된 가스로 변환시켜 연료전지에 공급하여야 한다. 연료전지발전시스템 개발은 주로 전력이용 측면에서 천연가스를 개질연료로 사용하는 연구가 주류를 이루었으나, 최근에는 전 세계적으로 대기 공해에 시달리고 있는 도시의 환경개선을 위하여 도심용 버스 및 대형 트럭 등에 응용하기 위한 무공해 수송용 자동차엔진의 개발, 국방용 이동전원 개발 및 100㎾ 미만의 현지설치용 및 낙도용 전원으로서 메탄올을 연료로 한 연료전지의 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 한국에너지기술연구소는 한국전력 기술연구원과 공동으로 1989년부터 1992년까지 본체를 제외한 5.9㎾급 인산형 연료전지 발전시스템 즉, 메탄올 연료 개질장치, 운전자동화 시스템, 배열이용 시스템, 종합 배관 등을 설계 구성하여 발전 플랜트의 운전 특성 연구를 수행하였으며, 본 고에서는 이들 설비들의 운전 특성과 발전 플랜트로서의 효율 특성에 대한 고찰을 수행하였다. 본 시스템은 연료개질기가 연결되고 배열을 이용하는 국내최초의 종합적인 연료전지 발전 시스템으로서 개질된 연료로 운전하였을 경우 본체의 효율은 31.9%, 배열을 회수한 종합발전 플랜트의 효율은 45.2%였다.로서, 흰쥐 유선이 LH의 생성처이면서 동시에 작용처이며 유선에서 합성된 GnRH의 조절하에 국부적인 인자로 작용할 가능성을 시사한다.f variation)가 10% 내외로 만족할 만한 범위에 들었다. 본 실험 방법을 타액과 혈청내 testosterone 농도 측정에 응용하여 RIA의 결과와 비교하여 본 바 상관관계가 타액에서 r=0.969, 혈청에서 r=0.990으로 두 결과가 잘 일치하였다. 본 실험에서 측정된 한국인 여성의 타액내 testosterone농도는 107.7$\pm$12.0 pmol／l이었고, 남성의 타액내 농도는 274.2$\pm$22.1 pmol／l이었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 본 연구에서 정립된 EIA 방법은 RIA를 대신하여 소규모의 실험실에서도 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사려된다.또한 상실기 이후 배아에서 합성되며, 발생시기에 따라 그 영향이 다르고 팽창과 부화에 관여하는 것으로 사료된다. 더욱이, 조선의 ${\ulcorner}$구성교육${\lrcorner}$이 조선총독부의 관리하에서 실행되었다는 것을, 당시의 사범학교를 중심으로 한 교육조직을 기술한 문헌에 의해 규명시켰다.nd of letter design which represents -natural objects and was popular at the time of Yukjo Dynasty, and there are some documents of that period left both in Japan and Korea.

Recently, Korea has established a plan for the supply of hydrogen vehicles and is promoting the expansion of the supply. Risk factors for hydrogen vehicles are hydrogen leakage, jet fire, and explosion. Therefore Safety measures are necessary for this hazard. In addition, risks in semi-closed spaces such as tunnels, underground roads, and underground parking lots should be analyzed. In this study, an explosion experiment was conducted on a hydrogen tank used in a hydrogen vehicle to analyze the risk of a hydrogen vehicle explosion accident that may occur in a semi-closed space. As results, the effect on the structure and the human body was analyzed using the overpressure and impulse values for each distance generated during the explosion.

In recent years, development of energy conversion systems using hydrogen as an energy source has been accelerated globally. Even though hydrogen is an environment-friendly energy source, safety and effectiveness issues in storage, transportation, and usage of hydrogen should be clearly resolved in every application. Therefore, sensors for detecting hydrogen leakage, especially for fuel cell electric vehicles, should be designed to have much higher resolution and accuracy in comparison with conventional gas sensors. In this study, we conducted to determine the design parameters for the semiconductor hydrogen sensor with optimized sensing conditions under the thermal distribution characteristic and thermal transfer characteristic. The heat generation study on power supply voltage was studied for correlation analysis of thermal energy according to the power supply voltage variation from 1.0 voltage to 10.0 voltage every 0.5 voltage. And we studied for the temperature coefficient of resistance with hydrogen sensor.

This study aims to design energy supply systems from various energy sources for transportation sectors and comparatively analyze the life cycle cost of different scenario-based systems. For components of the proposed energy supply system, we consider a typical oil refinery, byproduct hydrogen system, renewable energy source (RES)-based electric generation system and existing electricity grid. We also include three types of vehicles in transportation sector such as internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV), electric vehicle (EV), fuel cell vehicle (FCV). We then develop various energy supply scenarios which consist of such components and evaluate the economic performance of different systems from the viewpoint of life cycle cost. Finally we illustrate the applicability of the proposed framework by conducting the design problem of energy supply systems of Jeju, Korea. As the results of life cycle cost analysis, EV fueled by electricity from grid is the most economically feasible. In addition, we identify key parameters to contribute the total life cycle cost such as fuel cost, vehicle cost, infra cost and maintenance cost using sensitivity analysis.

The recent reduction in greenhouse gases, interest in environmental pollution such as low-carbon emission policies is increasing. Accordingly, the penetration rate of eco-friendly vehicles, including hydrogen battery vehicles capable of reducing carbon emission, is increasing, and thus it is required for disaster prevention and safety-related measures. In this study, the degree of risk for the concentration distribution of hydrogen when leaking hydrogen fuel vehicles according to ventilation conditions was analyzed through numerical analysis, limited to places in parking lots. As a result, when only one hydrogen tank was released, the combustible volume ratio of hydrogen in the underground parking lot was up to 8.6%, and as ventilation continued, the volume ratio of combustible hydrogen decreased to less than 1% after 150 seconds, indicating that mechanical ventilation is essential. In the case of simultaneous release or stage release of three hydrogen tanks, the final combustible volume ratio of hydrogen is similar, but the increase in the combustible volume ratio of hydrogen in the early stage of release is low, and further research is expected.

The operating conditions greatly impact the efficiency and performance of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems and must be properly managed to ensure better performance and efficiency. In particular, small variations in operating conditions interact with each other and affect the performance and efficiency of PEM fuel cell systems. Thus, a systematic study is needed to understand how small changes in operating conditions affect the system performance and efficiency. In this paper, an automotive fuel cell system (including cell stack and balance of plant [BOP]) with a turbo-blower was modeled using MATLAB/Simulink platform and the sensitivity analyses of main operating parameters were performed using the developed system model. Effects of small variations in four main parameters (stack temperature, cathode air stoichiometry, cathode pressure, and cathode relative humidity) on the system efficiency were investigated. The results show that cathode pressure has the greatest potential impact on the sensitivity of fuel cell system efficiency. It is expected that this study can be used as a basic guidance to understand the importance of achieving accurate control of the fuel cell operating conditions for the robust operation of automotive PEM fuel cell systems.

In this study, a fuel cell system for future defense unmanned vehicles was designed and validated. A Co/Al₂O₃-Ni foam catalyst for NaBH₄ hydrolysis was characterized using several analytical methods. A NaBH₄ hydrogen generation system with the Co/Al₂O₃-Ni foam catalyst continuously generated hydrogen at elevated reaction temperatures. The fuel cell system with the NaBH₄ hydrogen generation system was designed and tested. The performance of the fuel cell system was comparable to that of the fuel cell system using pure hydrogen. Therefore, the fuel cell system with the NaBH₄ hydrogen generation system is a suitable power source for future defense unmanned vehicles owing to its easy refueling and simple system.

This study presents an aerodynamic design and an experimental performance test of a turbo air compressor consisted of mixed-flow impeller and curved diffuser for the PEM fuel cell vehicle application. Many studies compare the efficiency, cost or noise level of high-pressure and low-pressure operation of PEM fuel cell systems. Pressure ratio 2.2:1 is considered as design target The goal of compressor design is to enlarge the flow margin of compressor from surge to choke mass flow rate to cover the operational envelope of FCV. Large-scale rig test is performed to evaluate the compressor performance and to compare the effects of compressor exit pipe volume to stall or surge characteristics. The results show that the mixed-flow compressor designed has large flow margin, and the flow margin of compressor configuration with small exit volume is larger than that with large exit volume.

Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) using hydrogen gas are zero emission vehicles, thus emission measurement for combustion vehicles is not applicable. The hydrogen gas consumption for fuel economy will be measured by the stabilized pressure/temperature method, mass flow method and electrical current method, etc. In this research, weight method with a newly manufactured test equipment is applied to measure the hydrogen consumption because above 3-methods have a deviation. The hydrogen consumption is directly calculated by the weight differences of the external hydrogen tank before and after the chassis dynamometer test. Ultimately the fuel economy for FCEVs is obtained with a deviation less than 1% in all chassis dynamometer tests.
