UPS 시스템에서 정전시 안정적인 전력공급을 방해하는 요소의 대부분은 배터리의 불량이 차지하고 있다. 일반적으로 UPS 시스템에 적용되는 배터리는 일정시간이 경과되면 전체를 교체하는 관리시스템을 가지며, 주기적인 방전시험을 실시하지만 교체기준에 대한 명확한 방안이 마련되어 있지 않다. 일부에서는 배터리의 내부저항 혹은 임피던스를 측정하여 배터리의 교체여부를 판단하는 기준으로 삼고 있지만 배터리의 비선형적 특성으로 인하여 그 오차범위는 크다고 할 수 있다. 또한 배터리는 부동충전시에는 정상적인 특성을 보이지만 방전시 불량 특성이 나타나는 경우가 많고, 리튬-이온 배터리의 경우 내부저항은 수십$[m\Omega]$의 비교적 큰 값을 가지지만 UPS에 적용되는 납축전지의 경우 수$[m\Omega]$ 정도의 아주 낮은 내부저항을 가져 측정오차에 의해 불량 여부를 명확히 판단하지 못하는 경우가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점에 착안하여 평상시에는 배터리의 개별셀 전압, 온도, 전체전압 및 보관함의 온도, 충방전 전류, SOC(State of Charge)를 현장 및 원격지의 모니터링 PC로 전송하여 사용자에게 보여주며, 정전으로 인한 방전시에는 내부저항과 개별셀의 용량을 계산하고 이를 통해 교체시기를 결정할 수 있도록 구성되어 있으며, 실험을 통해 타당성을 확인하였다.

The research and development of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and electric vehicle (EV) are intensified due to the energy crisis and environmental concerns. In order to meet the challenging requirements of powering HEV, PHEV and EV, the current lithium battery technology needs to be significantly improved in terms of the cost, safety, power and energy density, as well as the calendar and cycle life. One new technology being developed is the utilization of composite cathode by mixing two different types of insertion compounds [e.g., spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ and layered $LiMO_2$ (M=Ni, Co, and Mn)]. Recently, some studies on mixing two different types of cathode materials to make a composite cathode have been reported, which were aimed at reducing cost and improving self-discharge. Numata et al. reported that when stored in a sealed can together with electrolyte at $80^{\circ}C$ for 10 days, the concentrations of both HF and $Mn^{2+}$ were lower in the can containing $LiMn_2O_4$ blended with $LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.2}O_2$ than that containing $LiMn_2O_4$ only. That reports clearly showed that this blending technique can prevent the decline in capacity caused by cycling or storage at elevated temperatures. However, not much work has been reported on the charge-discharge characteristics and related structural phase transitions for these composite cathodes. In this presentation, we will report our in situ x-ray diffraction studies on this mixed composite cathode material during charge-discharge cycling. The mixed cathodes were incorporated into in situ XRD cells with a Li foil anode, a Celgard separator, and a 1M $LiPF_6$ electrolyte in a 1 : 1 EC : DMC solvent (LP 30 from EM Industries, Inc.). For in situ XRD cell, Mylar windows were used as has been described in detail elsewhere. All of these in situ XRD spectra were collected on beam line X18A at National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory using two different detectors. One is a conventional scintillation detector with data collection at 0.02 degree in two theta angle for each step. The other is a wide angle position sensitive detector (PSD). The wavelengths used were 1.1950 ${\AA}$ for the scintillation detector and 0.9999 A for the PSD. The newly installed PSD at beam line X18A of NSLS can collect XRD patterns as short as a few minutes covering $90^{\circ}$ of two theta angles simultaneously with good signal to noise ratio. It significantly reduced the data collection time for each scan, giving us a great advantage in studying the phase transition in real time. The two theta angles of all the XRD spectra presented in this paper have been recalculated and converted to corresponding angles for ${\lambda}=1.54\;{\AA}$, which is the wavelength of conventional x-ray tube source with Cu-$k{\alpha}$ radiation, for easy comparison with data in other literatures. The structural changes of the composite cathode made by mixing spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ and layered $Li-Ni_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ in 1 : 1 wt% in both Li-half and Li-ion cells during charge/discharge are studied by in situ XRD. During the first charge up to ~5.2 V vs. $Li/Li^+$, the in situ XRD spectra for the composite cathode in the Li-half cell track the structural changes of each component. At the early stage of charge, the lithium extraction takes place in the $LiNi_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ component only. When the cell voltage reaches at ~4.0 V vs. $Li/Li^+$, lithium extraction from the spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ component starts and becomes the major contributor for the cell capacity due to the higher rate capability of $LiMn_2O_4$. When the voltage passed 4.3 V, the major structural changes are from the $LiNi_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ component, while the $LiMn_2O_4$ component is almost unchanged. In the Li-ion cell using a MCMB anode and a composite cathode cycled between 2.5 V and 4.2 V, the structural changes are dominated by the spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ component, with much less changes in the layered $LiNi_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ component, comparing with the Li-half cell results. These results give us valuable information about the structural changes relating to the contributions of each individual component to the cell capacity at certain charge/discharge state, which are helpful in designing and optimizing the composite cathode using spinel- and layered-type materials for Li-ion battery research. More detailed discussion will be presented at the meeting.

군용 차량은 일반 차량에 비하여 높은 기동 성능 및 정숙성을 요구한다. 또한 최소의 연료 보급으로 최대의 작전 수행 능력을 보유하고 있어야 한다. 시리즈 하이브리드 자동차의 경우 모터만을 이용하여 차량을 구동하므로, 정숙성이 뛰어나고 초기 기동 토크가 커 구동 성능이 뛰어나다. 또한 하이브리드화를 통하여 연비 향상 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 이와 같은 시리즈 하이브리드 차량의 경우 배터리 SOC 와 차량의 주행 상태에 따라 엔진과 발전기로 이루어진 발전 시스템에서 전기를 생산하여 차량 구동에 이용하거나 배터리를 충전한다. 발전 시스템의 작동 여부와 작동 영역을 결정하는 것이 시리즈 하이브리드 차량의 주행 전략이며 이 주행전략에 따라 연비 성능에 차이가 난다. 본 연구에서는 Thermostat, Power-Follower, Combined 주행 전략을 비교/평가 하였으며 새롭게 제안한 Combined 주행 전략을 통하여 기존 차량 대비 37%의 연비 향상 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Sol-gel method which provides better electrochemical and physiochemical properties compared to the solid-state method was used to synthesize the material of $LiFe_yMn_{2-y}O_4$. Fe was substituted to increase the structural stability so that the effects of the substitution amount and sintering temperature were analyzed. XRD was used for the structural analysis of produced material, which in turn, showed the same cubic spinel structure as $LiMn_2O_4$ despite the substitution of $Fe^{3+}$. During the synthesis of $LiFe_yMn_{2-y}O_4$, as the sintering temperature and the doping amount of Fe(y=0.05, 0.1, 0.2)were increased, grain growth proceeded which in turn, showed a high crystalline and a large grain size, certain morphology with narrow specific surface area and large pore volume distribution was observed. In order to examine the ability for the practical use of the battery, charge-discharge tests were undertaken. When the substitution amount of $Fe^{3+}\;into\;LiMn_2O_4$ increased, the initial discharge capacity showed a tendency to decrease within the region of $3.0\~4.2V$ but when charge-discharge processes were repeated, other capacity maintenance properties turned out to be outstanding. In addition, when the sintering temperature was $800\~850^{\circ}C$, the initial capacity was small but showed very stable cycle performance. According to EVS(electrochemical voltage spectroscopy) test, $LiFe_yMn_{2-y}O_4(y=0,\;0.05,\;0.1,\;0.2)$ showed two plateau region and the typical peaks of manganese spinel structure when the substitution amount of $Fe^{3+}$ increased, the peak value at about 4.15V during the charge-discharge process showed a tendency to decrease. From the previous results, the local distortion due to the biphase within the region near 4.15V during the lithium extraction gave a phase transition to a more suitable single phase. When the transition was derived, the discharge capacity decreased. However the cycle performance showed an outstanding result.

The aim of this study is to design a simulation model for an electric All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) tractor to evaluate the performance of the selected component and agricultural work ability. The electric AWD tractor consists of four motors independently for each drive wheel, and each motor is combined with an engine generator, a battery pack, and reducers. The torque data of a 78 kW-class tractor was measured during plow tillage and driving operation to develop a workload cycle. A simulation model was developed by using commercial software, Simulation X, and it used the workload as the simulation condition. As a result of simulation analysis, the drive system, including an electric motor and reducers, was able to cope with high load during plow tillage. The SOC (State of Charge) level was influenced by the output power of the motor, and it was maintained in the range of 50~80%. The fuel consumed by the engine was about 18.23 L during working on a total of 8 fields. The electric AWD tractor was able to perform agricultural work for about 7 hours. In the future study, the electric AWD tractor will be developed reflecting the simulation condition. Research on the comparison between the simulation model and the electric AWD tractor should be performed.

Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicles (FCHVs) have become a major topic of interest in the automotive industry owing to recent energy supply and environmental problems. Several types of power management strategies have been developed to improve the fuel economy of FCHVs including optimal control strategy based on optimal control theory, rule-based strategy, and equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS). The ECMS is applied in this study. This strategy is based on the heuristic concept that the usage of the electric energy can be exchanged to equivalent fuel consumption. This strategy is known as one of the promising solutions for real-time control of hybrid vehicles. The ECMS for an FCHV is introduced in this paper as well as the equivalent fuel consumption parameter. The relationship between the battery final state of charge (SOC) and the fuel consumption while changing the equivalent fuel consumption parameter is obtained for three different driving cycles. The function of the equivalent fuel consumption parameter is also discussed.

In new generation vehicle technologies, a fuel cell vehicle becomes more important, by virtue of their emission merits. In addition, a fuel cell is considered as a major source to generate the electricity for vehicles in near future. This paper focuses on modeling of not only an electric vehicle and but also a fuel cell vehicle to estimate performances. And an EV cart is manufactured to verify the modeling. Speed, voltage, and current of the vehicle and modeling are compared to estimate them at acceleration test and driving mode test. The estimations are also compared with the data of the Ballard Nexa fuel cell stack. In order to investigate a fuel cell based vehicle, motor and fuel cell models are integrated in a electric vehicle model. The characteristics of individual components are also integrated. Calculated fuel cell equations show good agreements with test results. In the fuel cell vehicle simulation, maximum speed and hydrogen fuel consumption are estimated. Even though there is no experimental data from vehicle tests, the vehicle simulation showed physically-acceptable vehicle characteristics.

본 논문에서는 모델의 불확실성을 갖는 RC 배터리 모델의 State-of- Charge(SOC)를 추정하기 위한 강인한 고이득 관측기를 설계한다. 일반적으로 SOC를 추정하기 위해 사용하는 RC 배터리 모델은 실제 배터리 셀과 정확하게 일치하지 않고 거기에 따른 모델의 불확실성이 존재하게 된다. 이렇게 불확실성이 존재할 때 그 영향을 최소화하고 보다 정확한 SOC를 추정할 수 있는 강인한 관측기를 설계하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 실제 배터리 셀과 RC 배터리 모델 사이에 모델 불확실성이 존재하더라도 정확한 SOC추정을 위하여 강인한 고이득 관측기를 설계한다. 하지만 이러한 강인한 고이득 관측기는 높은 이득으로 발생하는 튐 현상(peaking phenomenon)과 출력 측정오차에 민감하게 반응하여 발생하는 진동(perturbation)이 존재하는 단점이 있다. 그래서 이를 보완하기 위해 슬라이딩 모드 기법을 사용하여 강인한 고이득 관측기를 설계한다. 마지막으로 성능 검증을 위하여 선형 관측기, 고이득 관측기를 이용한 SOC 추정결과를 비교한다.
