The specific capacitance characteristics of the electric double layer capacitors(ELDC) which were made of phenol based activated carbon fiber(ACF) electrodes. Also the effect of aqueous electrolytes on the cell performance has been investigated with respect to different specific surface areas of electrodes and different kinds of aqueous electrolytes. It has been shown that larger surface area and pore size, higher conductivity of electrodes, and higher ion mobility of electrolytes have better specific capacitances. It has been found that heat treatment at $1200^{\circ}C$ and $CO_2$ post-activation at $900^{\circ}C$ of the electrode are effective to improve the specific capacitance over 145F/g and 165F/g, respectively. The EDLC showed high efficiency and long cycle life over 30000 cycles.

ISO/IEC 15118 is an international communication standard for EV(electric vehicle)'s V2G implementation. In the charging/discharging control of an EV based on a communication protocol, there is inevitably a time delay when charging/discharging occurs, and the delay may limit in supplying power flexibility. In this paper, we implemented an ISO/IEC 15118-based V2G emulator and measured the charge/discharge response characteristics. As a result, the time delay appeared as 0.12ms. Accordingly, the power flexibility markets that EV can participate in under the current standard were explored.

SnSb alloy powders with excess Sn or Sb are fabricated by the high energy ball-milling of pure Sn and Sb powders with different Sn/Sb molar ratios, and then their material properties and lithium electrochemical performances are investigated. It is revealed by X-ray diffraction that SnSb alloys are successfully synthesized, and the powder size is decreased via ball-milling. Charge-discharge test using a coin-cell shows that the best result, in terms of the cyclability and the capacity after 50 cycles, comes from the electrode composed of Sn : Sb = 4 : 6, i.e. the capacity of $580mAh\;g^{-1}$ after 50 cycles. When the electrode is composed of Sn : Sb = 3 : 7, however, the capacity is noticeably decreased by the restrained Sn reaction with Li-ion. The pure SnSb alloy powders (Sn : Sb = 5 : 5) results in the second best performance. In the case of Sn-rich SnSb alloys, the initial capacity is relatively high, but the capacity is quickly fading after 20 cycles.

Cycle life test was carried out to evaluate the failure modes of the gel type nth batteries at $C_5$ currents and $100\%$ DOD. When the batteries were charged at constant voltage of 2.40 V and 2.50 Vi respectively, cycle lift was over 1,000 cycles. The batteries lost 426.4 g and 391.2 g of electrolyte far each case after the weight measurement. The battery charged at 2.50 V was shown to have a better cyclic performance than charged at 2.40 V, and the amounts of electrolyte loss was proportional to charge factor. After cycle test, the micro-structure of positive active material was completely changed and the corrosion layer of positive grid was about $50{\mu}m$. Failure mode of the positive plate of the gel type battery was a shedding of the positive active material, and the cause of discharge capacity decrease was found to be a electrolyte loss.

The power simulator for a LEO satellite is a useful tool to analyze mission validity and energy balance for various mission scenarios by estimating power generation, power consumption, depth of discharge, bus voltage, charging/discharging current, etc. In this paper, it is described the calculation algorithm of the solar array (SA) power, the satellite load power and the battery modeling method to develop a satellite power simulation. To simulate the SA power generation, three different operation modes (DET, MPPT, CV) of SAR (Solar Array Regulator) are considered with a SA model. The satellite load power is estimated using the satellite unit power database, the unit on/off configuration at some satellite operation modes. The bus voltage and battery charging/discharging current at the specific DoD (Depth of Discharge) are calculated based on the battery characteristics. By this satellite power simulator, it can be conveniently analyzed the energy balance and the validity of a planned mission of a LEO satellite.

The electrode characteristics of two kinds of metal hydride electrodes using V-Ti (V-rich) based alloy were studied, in which one electrode was prepared by sintering the mixture of V-Ti alloy and Ni powders by a rapid thermal annealing technique and the other one was prepared using V-Ti-Ni ternary alloy, The discharge capacities of all electrodes during the charge-discharge cycling were completely deteriorated within 10 cycles. It appeared that the deterioration of the electrodes was caused by the dissolution of V in the near-surface region into the electrolyte and the formation of $TiO_2$ layer on the alloy particle surface. This degradation mechanism was supported by the facts that V is main hydride forming element and $TiO_2$ has very low electrical conductivity and hydrogen diffusivity.

외부 Ballast Capacitor를 이용한 Voltage Doubler 전원장치를 이용하여 Micro size의 대기압 플라즈마를 발생장치를 개발하였다. 2개의 외부 Capacitor를 병렬로 연결하여 충전한 다음 외부 Capacitor를 직렬로 연결하여 전압을 2배압 시킨 상태에서 방전이 일어나도록 하였다. Capacitor의 충 방전 제어는 Switch Device인 Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)를 사용하였다. 개발된 대기압 플라즈마는 외부 Capacitor와 인가전압을 독립적으로 변화시킬 수 있기 때문에 방전 시 전류 전압을 독립적으로 제어할 수 있으며 용도에 따라 Glow 방전에서 Arc 방전까지 제어가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 900 V의 1.22 nF 외부 Capacitor 방전과 400 V의 10 nF 외부 Capacitor 방전을 비교하였다. 방전 시 전압파형과 전류파형은 서로 다르지만 소비된 방전에너지는 340 ${\mu}J$로 동일하다. ICCD camera와 Spectrometer를 이용하여 비교 분석을 실시하였다. 방전 image 및 Optical Emission Spectroscopy 분석을 이용하여 플라즈마의 온도, 밀도 등을 시간적, 공간적으로 분석하였다.

In this work, Mathematical modeling was carried-out to predict the charging/discharging characteristics of VRLA (Valve regulated lead acid) battery, which is mainly used as a 12 V lead acid battery for automobile. And It also carried-out how it's characteristics would be changed due to aging. A mathematical modeling technique, which has been mainly used to predict behavior of Lithium-ion batteries, is applied to commercial 70 Ah VRLA battery. The modeling result of Voltage was compared with result of constant current charge / discharge test. From this, it can be seen that the NTGK model can be applied to the lead acid battery with high accuracy. It was also found that the aging of lead-acid battery can be predicted by using it.
