PEMFC stack power output is needed to be around 100 kW to meet the requirements of automotive application and scaling-up the active area of the stack cells will allow a higher power. In the case of scaling-up the active area of cells, it is difficult to obtain uniform in-plane internal conditions such as temperature, relative humidity and stoichiometry of the feed gas. These ununiformity with the location in the cell would affect both the performance and durability of the stack, so it is important to understand phenomena in the cell for improving them. In this study, the current density, electrochemical resistance and performance distribution measurement was performed to understand the ununiformity in a single cell using in-situ method; (1) Current Density Distribution (CDD) Device and (2) Segmented Cell Fixture. The influence of location of feed gas on the performance of a single cell was experimentally measured and discussed by using a segmented single cell which was composed of 8 compartments. The correlation between the location and performance in a single cell was discussed by these two tools and it was extended between the local characterization and the durability in a MEA by comparing the used cell with a fresh one. It was also studied in terms of electrochemistry by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy.

LSGM$(La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2}O_{3-{\delta}})$ is the very promising electrolyte material for lower-temperature operation of SOFCs, especially when realized in anode-supported cells. But it is notorious for reacting with other cell components and resulting in the highly resistive reaction phases detrimental to cell performance. LDC$(La_{0.4}Ce_{0.6}O_{1.8})$, which is known to keep the interfacial stability between LSGM electrolyte and anode, was adopted in the anode-supported cell, and its effect on the interfacial reactivity and electrochemical performance of the cell was investigated. No severe interfacial reaction and corresponding resistive secondary phase was found in the cell with LDC buffer layer, and this is due to its ability to sustain the La chemical potential in LSGM. The cell exhibited the open circuit voltage of 0.64V, the maximum power density of 223 $mW/cm^2$, and the ohmic resistance of $0.17{\Omega}cm^2$ at $700^{\circ}C$. These values were much improved compared with those from the cell without any buffer layer, which implies that formation of the resistive reaction phases in LSGM and then deterioration of the cell performance is resulted mainly from the La diffusion from LSGM electrolyte to anode.

본 논문에서는 OFDM 기반 이동 셀룰러 시스템에서 셀간간섭 관리를 위해 간섭 회피 및 제거를 동시에 이용하는 방법을 설명하곡 그 성능을 모의실험을 통해 분석한다. 셀 안쪽 단말과 두 셀 경계 단말에 대해서는 간섭 회피를 이용하고, 세 셀 경계 단말에 대해서는 간섭 제거를 이용하게 된다. 모의실험은 간략화된 시스템 시뮬레이션으로 수행되며, 이를 위해 링크 시뮬레이션 결과가 이용된다. 비교 대상은 간섭 관리를 하지 않은 방식, 간섭 회피만을 적용한 방식, 간섭 회피와 제거를 적용한 방식의 세 가지이며, 주된 비교 수단은 하위 5% 사용자 데이터율과 평균 데이터율이고, 보조적으로 하위 5% 사용자 신호대간섭잡음비를 이용한다. 비교 결과, 간섭 관리 기법을 적용하면 셀 경계 성능이 대폭 개선되며, 대신 평균 데이터율은 소폭 저하된다. 그리고 간섭 회피와 제거를 동시에 이용하면 간섭 회피만 이용한 경우보다 셀 경계 및 평균 데이터율 측면에서 모두 우수해진다.

The effect of initial electrolyte loading (IEL) on cell performance in a coin-type molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) was investigated in this work. Since the material of MCFC depends on the manufacturer, optimisation requires experimental investigation. In total, four IEL values, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 g, were used, corresponding to a pore filling ratio (PFR) of 38, 51, 77, and 102%, respectively. The cell performance with respect to the PFR was analysed via steady-state polarisation, step-chronopotentiomtery, and impedance methods. The electrochemical analyses revealed that internal resistance and overpotential of the cell decreased with increasing PFR, and a large overpotential was observed when the PFR was 102%, probably due to the flooding phenomenon. After operation, cross-section of the cell was analysed via surface analysis of SEM and EDS methods, and the remaining electrolyte was estimated by dissolution of the cell in 10 wt% acetic acid. A linear relationship between IEL and the weight reduction ratio by dissolution was obtained. Thus, the remaining amount of electrolyte could be measured after operation. The results of SEM and EDS showed that a PFR of 38 and 102% showed a lack and flooding of electrolytes at the cell, respectively, which led to a large overpotential. This work reports that MCFC performance is allowed only in the narrow range of PFR.

본 논문에서는 비동기 WCDMA 시스템의 빠른 셀 탐색을 위해 제안된 극성변조(PCM. Polarization Code Modulation) 셀 탐색 기법의 성능을 분석하고자 한다. 극성변조 셀 탐색 기법은 비동기 WCDMA 시스템의 표준 셀 탐색 알고리즘의 셀 탐색 시간을 단축하고 또한 수신기의 복잡도를 줄일 수 있는 기법으로, 홀드 코드를 이용하여 생성된 새로운 그룹 코드를 정의하고 이를 WCDMA P-SCH에 극성 변조하여, 기존 WCDMA의 2단계에서 사용되던 S-SCH의 그룹 코드(RS code)를 대체한다. 따라서 WCDMA 표준에 정의된 2개의 동기 채널을 하나로 줄일 수 있기 때문에 기존 WCDMA 셀 탐색 알고리즘에 비해 기지국 신호의 이득을 얻을 수 있는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 극성변조 셀 탐색 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하기 긴하여 수학적 모델을 정의하고, 이를 통해 셀 탐색 성공 확률과 평균 탐색 시간을 이론적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 극성변조 셀 탐색 알고리즘은 WCDMA 표준 셀 탐색 알고리즘의 성능에 비해 수신기 복잡도 측면과 셀 탐색 시간 측면에서 장점을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Analyses of performance and behavior of the individual PEM fuel cells (PEMFC) under different operating conditions are of importance optimally to design and efficiently to operate the stack. The paper focuses on experimental analyses of a two-cell stack under different operating conditions, which performance and behavior are measured by the voltage of a cell as well as the stack. Experimental parameters include stoichiometric ratio, temperature of the air supplied under different working stack temperatures and loads. Results showed that the cell voltages are dominantly influenced by the temperature of the air supplied among others. In addition, an inherent difference between the first and the second cell voltage exists because of the tolerances of the cell components and the resulting different over-potentials at different equilibrium states. Furthermore, it is shown that the proton conductivity in the membranes conditioned by the humidity in the cathode channel highly affects the voltage differences of the two cells.

In order to achieve high capacity and reliable link quality in user communication, this paper proposes a new concept of virtual cell: the Dual Virtual Cell(DVC), and DVC employment strategy based on DWCS. The proposed system uses two kinds of virtual cell. One is the AVC(Active Virtual Cell) which exists for actual traffic and the other is the CVC(Candidate Virtual Cell) which contains a set of candidate antennas to protect user's link quality from performance degradation or interruption. And also this system aims to reduce MT's overloads and acheive a prompt link change successfuly by introducing DVC structure which makes it possible for network to monitor real-time channel and to conrol communication links. The proposed system constructs DVC by using antenna selection method and improves frame error performance with employing Space-Time Trellis Code(STTC).

Design analysis of the solid oxide fuel cell and gas turbine combined power system is performed considering different methods for preheating cell inlet air. The purpose of air preheating is to keep the temperature difference between cell inlet and outlet within a practical design range. Three different methods are considered such as a burner in front of the cell, a preheater in front of the cell and recirculation of the cathode exit gas. Analyses are carried out for two maximum cell temperature differences. The greater temperature difference ensures higher efficiency. The cathode exit gas recirculation exhibits better performance than other methods.

200hrs operational characteristics of the single cell in phosphoric acid fuel cell was studied. The initial performance of single cells was examined as a function of PTFE content of electrode in the range of 30 to 60 wt.%. The cell with the electrode of 40wt.% PTFE was chosen for the 200hrs operation. The cell voltage decay was found to be about 0.5mV/hr for 200hrs operation. These results of cell performance were discussed as related to the internal resistance and the exchange current density of the cell.
