There is close relation between the heat generation in the fuel cell stack and the fuel performance. In PEM fuel cell vehicles, the stack coolant temperature is about $65^{\circ}C$, which is far lower than that for general automobile engine. Therefore, it is hard to release heat generated in the stack by using a radiator of limited size because of the reduced temperature difference between the coolant and the ambient air. In this study, indirect stack cooling system using $CO_2$ heat pump was designed and its stack cooling performance in releasing heat to the ambient was investigated. This work focuses on a series of processes that grasp the relation among the fuel cell power, the radiator capacity and the stack temperature. The purpose of this work is to find out a way to properly release sufficient amount of heat through the finite sized radiator, so that the slack power generation can not be deteriorated due to the stack temperature increase. The optimization between the compressor power consumption and the fuel cell output power can be carried out to maximize the performance of fuel cell system.

The Heated Tube Facility(HIF) was fabricated to identify the forced convective heat transfer and the cooling characteristic for the hydrocarbon fuel(Jet A-1), which is used for the coolant of the regenerative cooling system. The forced convective heat transfer coefficient was calculated from the measured coolant and tube surface temperature. In case of using the Jet A-1, the maximum heat flux which the coolant can absorb was identified by determining the critical wall temperature generating the burnout on the fixed flow condition. The inlet bulk-temperature of the coolant has a direct influence on the forced convective heat transfer characteristic.

In this study, optimization of MEK and Toluene removal was conducted by HTO(Hybrid Thermal Oxidation) system. HTO system has a multi-bed reaction plate and the plate consisted of wasted heat regeneration part and catalysis part. VOCs removal by HTO system was estimated by changing inlet flow rates with different valve changing times. Under $350^{\circ}C$ of combustion temperature, VOCs was fully converted and the equivalent conversion was 100%. The thermal oxidation efficiency, related to the amount of injected fuel into HTO system and the valve change time, was revealed at the level of 93.0~96.3%. In case of MEK removal by HTO system, the efficiency was ranged from 91.1 to 97.1%. Also, Toluene removal efficiency(93.2~97.4%) was good and stable with respect to the operating conditions. Considering above results, it was proved that HTO system could be a stable and compact system for VOCs, especially MEK and Toluene with high removal efficiency.

A heat pump system using the thermal effluent from the Jeju thermal power plant of KOMIPO was constructed with the capacity of 300 RT to supply cool or hot water to greenhouse facilities located 3 km from the power station. The way of transporting heat from the thermal effluent to greenhouses at a long distance was optimized, and a monitoring system to measure the water temperature and detect a leakage in a pipe conduit was also installed. This paper presents the system configuration of the constructed heat pump system for air conditioning and heating of greenhouse facilities in Jeju, and the characteristics of major components deployed in the system. The preoperational tests of the heat pump system were conducted during the summer season in 2018 for evaluation of its cooling performance. The operational stability and cooling performance of the heat pump system were confirmed by investigating the measured fluid temperature and flow rate, and COP of the heat pump in a cooling mode.

Currently, the RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard) is the policy which supplies new and renewable energy. Power generation companies with large capacity should produce renewable energy or secure through the purchase of REC (Renewable Energy Certificates) as mandatory. The government has revised the REC weight several times, which weights each energy source by evaluating the economic and social value of renewable energy sources, and revised the mandatory supply ratio to gradually increase. This study helps to find the impact of policies on related industries. In this study, time-series analysis and regression analysis on the capacity of PV(Photovoltaics) facilities as a dependent variable were performed to analyze the effect of the revision of the REC weight for photovoltaic power generation and the amount of mandatory supply for renewable energy. As a result, it was statistically assessed that the revision of the REC weight and the increase in the mandatory supply has a significant effect on the increase in the amount of PV facilities.

현재까지 대부분의 지열원 열펌프 시스템에 관한 연구는 열펌프 유닛과 지중열교환기에 대해 개별적으로 수행되었으며, 열펌프 유닛과 지중열교환기 설계 및 최적화의 공통변수인 지중순환수 유량에 따른 시스템 전체에 대한 연구성과는 매우 미미한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 현재 국내에서 인증되어 보급되고 있는 물매물 지열원 열펌프 유닛의 성능 자료를 분석하고, 지중순환수 유량 변화에 따른 물대물 열펌프 유닛의 성능 실험 및 지중열교환기 형상에 관한 설계 및 분석을 수행하여 지열원 열펌프 시스템 최적화에 관한 기반 기술 확보하고자 하였다. 현재 국내의 물대물 지열원 열펌프 유닛의 냉방 및 난방 조건에서의 최소 인증 COP는 각각 4.1과 3.45이다. 다양한 용량 및 성능을 갖는 국내 인증 물대물 지열원 열펌프 유닛에 대한 정량적 성능 분석을 위하여 3.5kW(1RT) 용량당의 지중순환수 유량과 COP를 고찰하였다. 냉방운전시 3.5kW 단위 용량당 열펌프 유닛의 지중순환수 유량은 10.73에서 18.52LPM을 나타냈으며, 난방운전에는 10.41에서 18.16LPM을 나타냈다. 이때, 냉방 COP는 4.1에서 5.4의 값을 나타냈으며, 난방 COP는 각각 3.5에서 4.2를 나타냈다. 인증 열펌프 유닛에서 지중순환수 유량과 열펌프 유닛의 냉난방 성능은 일정한 경향성을 나타내지 않았다. 지중순환수 유량에 따른 지열원 열펌프 유닛과 시스템의 성능을 정량적으로 분석하고자 지중순환수 유량 변화에 따른 물대물 지열원 열펌프 유닛 성능 실험을 수행하고 이를 기반으로 지중열교환기를 설계 및 분석하였다. 냉난방 각 운전모드에서 ISO 13256-2 규격과 NRGT 101 규격을 기준으로 지중순환수와 부하측 유량 6LPM 에서 36LPM 사이에서 변화시키며 성능 실험을 수행하였다. 냉방 및 난방모드 모두 유량이 증가함에 따라 열펌프 유닛 COP가 증가하였으나, 유량 증가에 따른 열펌프 유닛 COP 증가율은 감소하였다. 지중순환수 유량이 18LPM 이상에서는 COP 상승폭은 미소하였다. 기존문헌의 부하 산정자료와 열펌프 유닛 실험 성능 데이터를 이용하여 지식경제부 고시 2009-332호에 준하여 수직밀폐형 지중열교환기를 설계하고 순환펌프 소요동력을 이용하여 시스템 COP를 분석하였다. 지중열교환기 설계 시 국내에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 상용지중열교환기 설계프로그램인 GLD 프로그램을 사용하였다. 지중순환수와 부하측 2차 유체 유량 증가 시에 열펌프 유닛 COP 증가율 대비 시스템 COP 증가율은 감소하였으며, 난방모드에서는 일정 유량 이상에서는 열펌프 유닛 COP는 증가하였으나, 시스템 COP는 감소하였다. 또한, 지중순환수 유량 증가에 따라 지중열교환기 길이가 증가하였으며, 냉난방시의 지중열교환기 길이차이가 증가하였다. 지열원 열펌프 시스템의 고효율화 및 시공비 절감을 통한 경제성 확보를 위해서는 지열원 열펌프 유닛 성능과 지중열교환기 형상 공통 변수인 지중순환수 유량을 함께 고려하여 시스템을 설계하여야한다.

A prototype of the desiccant cooling system with a regenerative evaporative cooler was built and tested for the performance evaluation. The regenerative evaporative cooler is to cool a stream of air using evaporative cooling effect without an inc6rease in the humidity ratio. It is comprised of multiple pairs of dry and wet channels and the evaporation water is supplied only to the wet channels. By redirecting a portion of the air flown out of the dry channel into the wet channel, the air can be cooled down to a temperature lower than its inlet wet-bulb temperature at the outlet end of the dry channels. Incorporating a regenerative evaporative cooler eliminates the need for deep dehumidification in the desiccant rotor that is necessary to achieve low air temperature in the system with a direct evaporative cooler. Subsequently, the regenerative evaporative cooler enables the use of low temperature heat source to regenerate the dehumidifier permitting the desiccant cooling system more beneficial compared with other thermal driven air conditioners. At the ARI condition with the regeneration temperature of $60^{\circ}C$, the prototype showed the cooling capacity of 4.4 kW and COP of 0.75.

Stirling engine is a promising heat engine with a high efficiency, muti-fuel capability, low emission, quiet operation, very low maintenance and long life. As one of the promising applications, solar power system based on the Stirling dish, providing net solar-to-electric conversion efficiencies reaching 30%, can operate as stand-alone units in remote locations or can be linked together in groups to provide utility-scale power. This paper introduced a new Scroll-type Stirling engine, being developed for solar power, superior to conventional Stirling engines. The Scroll-type Stirling engine is characterized as traits of continuous and wholly separated compression and expansion; one-way flow system; direct cooling and heating the fluid in the working spaces through the extensive inner surfaces of scroll wraps. All theses traits contribute to achieving thermodynamic cycle closer to the ideal Stirling cycle (exactly speaking, Ericsson cycle).

Absorption potential of desiccant solution significantly decreases after absorbing moisture from humid air, and a regeneration process requires a great amount of energy to recover absorption potential of desiccant solution. In an effort to develop an efficient solar water heater, this study examines a regeneration process using hot water obtained from solar water heater to recover absorption potential by evaporating moisture in the liquid desiccant. In this paper, a solar absorption dehumidifying system with solar water heater is suggested to save the electricity for operating an air conditioner. LiGl(lithium chloride) solution was adopted as a liquid desiccant in the proposed system, and hot water obtained from the solar water heater was used for regenerating the liquid desiccant. As a result, it was clear that the dilute LiCl solution could be regenerated by hot water, and the regeneration rate depends mostly on temperature level of liquid desiccant. The regeneration rates were about 2.4kg/h with $40^{\circ}C$, 4.0kg/h with $50^{\circ}C$, and 6.2kg/h with $60^{\circ}C$ of hot water respectively.
