In previous work, an approach based on maximizing the efficiency of an internal combustion engine while ignoring the power conversion efficiency of other powertrain components, such as the electric motor and power battery or ultracapacitor, was implemented in the steady-state optimization of an internal combustion engine for hybrid electric vehicles. In this paper, a novel control algorithm was developed and successfully justified as the basis for maximal power conversion efficiency of overall powertrain components. Results indicated that fuel economy improvement by 3.9% compared with the conventional control algorithm under China urban transient-state driving-cycle conditions. In addition, using the view of the novel control algorithm, maximal power generation of the electric motor can be chosen.

The power conversion efficiency of organic polymer solar cells was enhanced by introducing a ferroelectric polymer layer at the interface between active layer and metal electrode. The power conversion efficiency was increased by 50% through the enhancement of the open circuit voltage. To investigate the role of the ferroelectric layer on the dissociation process of the excitons, non-radiative portion of the exciton decay was directly measured by using photoacoustic technique. The results show that the ferroelectric nature of the buffer layer does not play any roles on the dissociation process of the excitons, which indicates the efficiency enhancement is not due to the ferroelectricity of the buffer layer.

Compound semiconductor/CNTs composites have shown considerably improved efficiency improvement in photovoltaic devices, which is often attributed to two different factors. One is the formation of efficient electronic energy cascade structures. The other effect of CNTs on the performance of photovoltaic devices is the decrement of interfacial resistance. The interfacial resistances at n-type/ p-type materials and/or n-type materials/TCO electrode are reduced by an outstanding electrical property of CNTs. In addition to the effects of CNTs, we report the third reason for increment of efficiency in photovoltaic devices by CNT's well-known electrical field enhancement effects. The improved ${\beta}$ values in reverse-FE currents of CIGS electrode with SWNTs layers indicate the enhancement of electrical field in photovoltaic devices, which implies the acceleration of the electron transfer rate in the cell. Due to the formation of an efficient electronic energy cascade structure and the decrease of the interfacial resistance as well as the improvement of the electrical field in the photovoltaic devices, the power conversion efficiency of electrochemically deposited superstrate-type CIGS solar cells was increased 24.3% in the presence of SWNTs and showed 10.40% conversion efficiency.

In this paper, a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), one of the representative third-generation solar cells with eco-friendly materials and processes compared to other solar cells, was modeled using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation was conducted by designating values of series resistance, parallel resistance, light absorption coefficient, and thin film electrode thickness, which are directly related to the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells, as arbitrary experimental values. In order to analyze the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells, the optimal value among each parameter experimental value related to efficiency was found using formulas for fill factor (FF) and conversion efficiency.

본 연구에서는 온도가 큰 폭으로 변화하는 배기가스에 대응하기 위하여 플라즈마 촉매 공정을 이용하여 넓은 온도범위($150{\sim}500^{\circ}C$)에서 질소산화물($NO_x$)의 전환효율을 향상시키고자 하였다. 촉매 자체의 활성이 높은 고온에서는 $NO_x$저감이 효과적으로 일어나므로 고온 영역에서는 플라즈마 발생을 중지한 채 운전하고, 저온영역에서는 촉매상에 플라즈마를 발생시켜 $NO_x$ 전환효율을 증가시켰다. 촉매의 종류, 반응온도, 환원제(n-헵테인)의 농도 및 에너지 밀도의 변화가 $NO_x$ 전환효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 다양한 촉매를 비교분석한 결과, 고온에서 촉매에 의한 $NO_x$ 전환효율은 $Ag-Zn/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매의 경우가 90% 이상으로 가장 우수하였다. 저온 영역에서는 탄화수소 선택적 환원 공정에 의해 $NO_x$가 거의 제거되지 않았으나, 플라즈마를 촉매상에서 발생시킬 경우 약 90%의 높은 $NO_x$ 전환효율을 나타내었다. 배기가스의 온도변화에 대응하여 플라즈마를 촉매상에 생성시켜 운전할 경우 $150{\sim}500^{\circ}C$에서 $NO_x$ 전환효율을 높게 유지할 수 있다.

이 논문은 $0.11{\mu}m$ RF CMOS 공정에서 비대칭 몸체 바이어싱을 적용한 비교기를 사용한 정류기를 제안한다. 제안하는 정류기는 MOSFET와 두 개의 비교기로 이루어져 있다. 이 비교기는 부하 전압이 입력 전압보다 높을 때 생기는 역방향 누설 전류를 줄이는 데 사용한다. 비대칭 몸체 바이어싱을 사용함으로써 비교기의 High에서 Low 상태로 바꾸는 기준 전압을 높이고, 누설 전류가 흐르는 시간을 줄인다. 13.56 MHz의 2 Vpp 교류전압을 입력하고, $1k{\Omega}$의 저항과 1 nF의 커패시터를 부하에 연결한 환경에서 측정하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 전압 변환 효율은 87.5 %, 전력 변환 효율은 45 %이고, 측정한 전압 변환 효율은 85.215 %, 전력 변환 효율은 50 %이다.

This paper deals with an economic evaluation of domestic window type photoelectrochemical hydrogen production utilizing solar cells. We make some sensitivity analysis of hydrogen production prices by changing the values of input factors such as the initial capital cost, the solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency, and the system duration time. The hydrogen production price of the window type photoelectrochemical system was estimated as 1,168,972 won/$kgH_2$. It is expected that hydrogen production cost can be reduced to 47,601 won/$kgH_2$ if the solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency is increased to 14%, the system duration time is increased to 20,000 hours, and the initial capital cost is decreased to 25% of the current level. We also evaluate the hydrogen production cost of the water electrolysis using the electricity produced by solar cells. The corresponding hydrogen production cost was estimated as 37,838 won/$kgH_2$. The photoelectrochemical hydrogen production is evaluated as uneconomical at this time, and we need to enhance the solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency and the system duration time as well as to reduce prices of the system facilities.

We fabricated 1-D and 2-D diffraction gratings of SiOx anti-reflection (AR) film grown on a quartz substrate and integrated them into a c-Si photovoltaic (PV) submodule. The light-trapping effect of the resulting submodules was studied in terms of the oblique optical incident angle, ${\theta}_i$. As the ${\theta}_i$ increased, solar conversion efficiency, ${\eta}$, was improved as expected by the increased optical transmission caused by the grating. For ${\theta}_i{\leq}30^{\circ}$, the relative solar conversion efficiency, ${\Delta}{\eta}$, of a 1-D SiOx (t=300 nm) grating, compared to that of a flat SiOx AR-coated integrated PV submodule, was improved very little, with a small variation of within 2%, but increased markedly for ${\theta}_i{\geq}40^{\circ}$. We observed a change of ${\Delta}{\eta}$ as large as 10.7% and 9.5% for the SiOx grating of period t=800 nm and 1200 nm, respectively. For a 2-D SiOx (t=300 nm) grating integrated PV submodule, however, the optical trapping behavior was similar in terms of ${\theta}_i$ but its variation was small, within ${\pm}1.0%$.
