Recently, the use of renewable energy has been increasing to achieve carbon neutrality. The concept of a zero-energy building is also attracting attention. In this study, a preliminary study was conducted to analyze the feasibility of a hybrid wind and solar power generation system between buildings that utilize the building wind generated by the Venturi effect. For this purpose, the wind speed and sunshine hours were monitored in the area where the building wind blows by the Venturi effect, and the power generation depending on system types, areas, and season was estimated. Consequently, the wind power generation system showed a larger amount of power per area than solar power. The wind power systems can generate larger power if wind power blades are installed along the height of the building. As a preliminary study, this study verified the feasibility of the system utilizing building wind and suggested follow-up studies.

This paper describes the design and integration of the wind- fuel cell hybrid system. The hybrid system components included a wind turbine, an electrolyzer (for generation of H2), a PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell), storage system and BOP (Balance of Plant) system. The energy input is entirely provided by a wind turbine. A DC-DC converter controls the power input to the electrolyzer, which produces hydrogen and oxygen form water. The hydrogen used the fuel for the PEMFC. The hydrogen is compressed and stored in high pressure tank by hydrogen gas booster system.

Recently, even though the researches on renewable energy like geothermal, wind, solar energy have been performed widely, its use-rate in total energy is still low. This study was carried out to investigate the performance of hybrid heating system, which consisted of solar collector of thermosyphon tube type and X-L pipe boiler. Especially, new type of solar collector was tried and compared with double tube type and, futhermore, performance and safety on X-L pipe boiler were investigated. As the results, efficiency of solar collector of thermosyphon tube type was higher 20.7% than that of double tube type, mainly due to its structural characteristics. It was also confirmed that temperature of special heat medium used X-L pipe boiler rose up about 20% rapidly in comparison with that of pure water.

Recently, the use of DC power increased due to the increased use of digital load. Power factor of input current decrease and input current harmonics increase, and conversion loss which is occurred in the AC / DC converter is a problem to provide the proper DC voltage to the device equipped with an internal AC / DC converter. Hybrid system supplies the AC power and DC power to AC load (motor load and the transformer load) and DC loads (computers, TV, LED fluorescent light) at the same time it supplies the renewable energy and utility energy taken power from Utility to user for improving the efficiency and renewable energy improvements in ease of use. This paper studies DC characteristics of traditional AC load for Hybrid distributions.

In recent, there are tremendous requirements to improve the fuel economy of vehicle. For satisfaction of requirements, Hybrid Electric Vehicle or other technologies are suggested and implemented. However, it should be noted that almost 35% energy loss is occurred in the shape of exhaust gas as ever. For increase the efficiency of vehicle, it is certain that the exhaust gas energy should be recover, and generate energy. In previous studies, the technologies such as turbo-compound, thermoelectric and rankine cycle are suggested to recover the exhaust heat energy in vehicle. But, they focus on the conventional vehicle or parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicle. Series Hybrid Electric Vehicle has advantage that the engine and drive shaft are de-coupled. It means that the engine can be operated in high efficiency area regardless with vehicle states. Therefore, if rankine cycle is applied to series hybrid electric vehicle, operating condition of that becomes almost steady. So, in this study, theoretical analysis on the efficiency of rankine cycle applied to series hybrid electric city bus is carried and the energy recovered from exhaust gas during vehicle drive cycle is calculated.

In this paper, an economic feasibility study of wind-diesel hybrid power systems for an island in the Yellow Sea, where the maximum power generation is about 500kW, was performed. For the study, annual electric load variation and wind resource data of the island were collected and analyzed. HOMER program - a typical hybrid optimization model for electric renewables including wind resource, developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory - was used. Wind speed and diesel price were picked out as variables for the sensitivity analysis in order to find the economic accountability for the wind-diesel hybrid power system. As the result, even though it is not feasible economically under the present condition, if mean wind speed is over 3 m/sec. or diesel price goes up to 2.4 $ per liter, the wind-diesel hybrid power system for the island becomes a prospective candidate.

현재 운송수단의 주 동력원으로 사용되고 있는 내연기관은 연료로 사용되는 석유로부터 온실가스가 발생하기 때문에 지구 환경악화의 주범으로 작용하기 때문에 교토 의정서에 의해 많은 제재를 받고 있으며, 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 다양한 종류의 하이브리드 제품으로 대체하고자 하는 연구개발이 세계 각국에서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 한국은 저탄소 녹색성장이라는 기치하에 2012년 까지 2000만대의 자전거 보급과 세계3대 자전거 생산국으로 발전한다는 비전을 제시하여 향후 자전거 산업이 비약적으로 발전할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이와 같은 비전을 달성하기 위해서는 저가이면서 출력이 크고 수명이 긴 축전지의 개발이 필수적이며, 이와 더불어 축전지의 성능 발휘를 위해서 이것을 제어할 수 있는 battery management system(BMS)의 개발도 같이 이루어져야 한다. 리튬 배터리의 성능이 우수한 것은 익히 알려진 사실이지만, 고가이기 때문에 소비자들의 부담이 적지 아니하다. 따라서 혁신적인 기술이 개발되어 저가의 배터리를 사용하기 전까지는 납축전지도 같이 사용될 것이며, 본 과제에서는 이와 같은 납 축전지의 수명을 연장시킬 수 있는 BMS를 개발하였다.
