In the present study, performances of fuel cell driven compound source hybrid heat pump system applied to a large community building are simulated. Among several renewable energy sources, ground, river, sea, and waste water sources are chosen as available alternative energies. The performance and energy cost are varied with the hybrid heat pump sources. The system design and operation process appropriate for the surrounding circumstance guarantee the high benefit of the heat pump system applied to a large community building. Th system is driven by fuel cell system instead of the late-night electricity due to the advantages of the low energy cost and waste heat with high temperature.

An inverter system which consists of three bi-directional buck-boost converters, is proposed for motor driving. Three phase sinusoidal output voltages can be generated by utilizing three buck-boost converters. The advantage of this scheme is that it does not require a separate DC-DC converter for motor driving, i.e. inverter function is combined into the three DC-DC converters. This topology is suitable for inverters for hybrid or fuel cell vehicles where DC link voltage is subject to change depending upon charging status or output power. So the proposed system is capable of driving motor at high speed. The converter system is controlled by PI controller and simulation results done by MATLAB SIMULINK are provided.Ҙ?⨀ሉȀ̀㘰々K䍄乍?ጊ츀Ѐ㔹〻Ԁ䭃䑎䴀

고분자전해질형 연료전지의 구조 및 구성품의 물성에 따른 성능 및 물이동 현상에 관해서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다, 이들 연구는 대체적으로 연료 전지의 BOP(Balance of plant)를 포함하는 연료전지 시스템에 관한 연구 보다는 단위 전지 및 스택에 관한 연구에 국한되어 왔다. 연료전지의 시스템에 관한 연구들 또한 세부적인 연료전지 내부의 거동에 대해서는 고려하지 않고 있었다. 이는 연료전지의 상세 모델을 이용해 연료전지 시스템에 대해 접근하기 보다는 시스템의 성능 및 동특성에 대한 연구가 주를 이루었기 때문으로 생각된다. 본 연구에서는 연료전지 음극의 수소 배출가스를 재순환할 경우 연료전지 내부에서의 거동에 미치는 영향에 대해 2차원 정상상태 모델을 이용하여 분석해 보았다. 또한 재순환된 수소에 의한 연료전지 내부 거동의 변화 및 수소 이용율 상승 효과를 연료 전지 성능과 함께 비교해 보았다 이를 위해 2차원 정상상태 모델을 개발하였고 이를 실험을 통해 검증하는 작업을 수행하였다. 여기에 사용된 연료전지 모델은 Gore社 의 $PRIMea^{(R)}$을 사용한 연료전지의 성능을 잘 예측하고 내부의 유동 및 물이동 현상에 관한 정보를 제공한다. 이는 여러 하이브리드 자동차용 연료전지 시스템이 연료전지 배출가스의 재순환을 고려하고 있는 상황에서 연료전지 작동 조건의 최적화에 유용한 정보를 제공 할 수 있다는 의의를 가진다.

The study on the operation characteristics of solar space and water heating system with ground source heat pump (GSHP) as a back-up device was carried out. This system, called solar thermal and geothermal hybrid system (ST/G), was installed at Zero Energy Solar House II (KIER ZeSH-II) in Korea Institute of Energy Research. This ST/G hybrid system was developed to supply all thermal load in a house by renewable energy.

해상용(offshore) 부이(bouy)는 선박의 항로를 지시하거나 암초, 침몰선 등 항해상의 위험물을 알리기 위해 사용 되며, 야간을 위해 등화장치를 설치한 것을 등부표라 한다. 등부표는 야간 점등을 위해 자체 전력 생산시스템을 갖추고 있으나, 기존의 태양광을 이용한 전력 시스템은 해상 환경에 따른 제약이 많아 안정적인 운영이 어려우므로 풍력 발전기(wind turbine)를 이용한 하이브리드 전력 생산시스템으로의 전환이 필요한 실정이다. 선행 연구는 수직축(vertical axis) 양력(lift) 및 항력(drag) 조합형 해상용 풍력발전기 개발에 대하여 수행하였으나, 본 논문에서는 풍력발전기의 효율 증대를 위해 날개 길이 및 후면부 절개 비율에 따른 수직축 풍력발전기 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 풍력발전기의 설치조건은 선행연구와 동일하게 등명구 교체 작업을 원활하게 하기 위하여 설치 공간을 $1m{\times}1m$로 제한하였으며, 등부표의 구조를 고려하여 최상단에 지지 프레임을 별도로 구성 하였다. 풍력발전기의 블레이드는 0.6mm의 알루미늄 박판을 절곡하여 NACA 4418의 외형을 가지도록 제작하였고, 블레이드 설계 시 에어포일의 후면부를 절개하여 양력과 항력을 효과적으로 이용하며 저속과 고속에서 높은 효율을 가지도록 설계하였다. 또한 블레이드 날개 길이와 후면부 절개 비율에 따른 풍력발전기 특성을 실험을 통해 비교하여 기준 해상 풍속에서 블레이드 설계 최적화를 수행하였으며 비교 모델 대비 약32% 발전량이 증가한 설계변수 조합을 구하였다.

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), hydrogen storage tank 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. Hydrogen may be produced and stored in high pressure tank by hydrogen gas booster system. Wind conditions are changing with time of day, season and year. So, wind power is a variable energy source. The main purpose with these WT-FC hybrid system is to store hydrogen by electrolysis of water when wind conditions are good and release the stored hydrog en to supply the fuelcell when wind is low.

In this paper, an integrated simulation model for designing multi-agent system based DEMS (distributed energy management system) in stand-alone micro-grid system is proposed. In the design of the EMS(energy management system), the multi-agent based DEMS are more effective than conventional centralized EMS, but it is difficult to design the DEMS by general design tools for power system because of various states of a microgrid system during operation of stand-alone mode. Also, since performance test of the DEMS using a real system is inefficient, an integrated simulation model is required for designing an effective multi-agent system based DEMS. The proposed model consists of Matlab/SimPowerSystems based simulation model of the microgrid system and the Multi-agnet based DEMS designed by Matlab/StateFlow tool. In order to show the effect of the proposed model, the model outputs are analyzed for specified operation conditions.

Geothermal water at moderate temperature in a range between 30 to $50^{\circ}C$ exists sparse in surroundings. Mostly they are utilized as heat or water source at spar zones in Korea. However, a large portion of used water is discarded due to its poor recovery quality and inferior application technologies. In this research, an innovative heat pump system based on the hybrid concept that combinate compression cycle and absorption cycle was investigated mathematically. The hybrid heat pump aims to recycle various kind of the heat sources at moderate temperature including geothermal water effectively. The prime objective of the simulation is to design a compression/absorption hybrid heat pump system which can make high temperature above the level of $90^{\circ}C$ and low temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ as well at the same using $50^{\circ}C$ geothermal heat water. As a result, primitive data was provided as a basis to design a prototype 3 RT class hybrid heat pump.

Ground source heat pumps are clean, energy-efficient and environment-friendly systems cooling and heating. Although the initial cost of ground source heat pump system is higher than that of air source heat pump, it is now widely accepted as an economical system since the installation cost can be returned within an short period of time due to its high efficiency. In the present study, performances of ground source compound hybrid heat pump system applied to a large community building are simulated. The system design and operation process appropriate for the surrounding circumstance guarantee the high benefit of the heat pump system applied to a large community building. If among several renewable energy sources, ground, river, sea, waste water source are chosen as available alternative energies are combined, COP of the system can be increased largely and hybrid heat pump system can reduced the fuel cost.
