GTL(Gas-to-Liquids) fuel technology was converted from the natural gas, coal and biomass into the diesel or kerosene by Fisher-Tropsch synthesis. GTL fuel have very good merits on high cetane number, low density, free sulfur, lower aromatics contents and no poly-aromatic hydrocarbons as well as the autoignition characteristics. These physical properties make it valuable as a diesel fuel with lower emissions than the conventional diesel fuel. Furthermore, GTL fuel can be use not to the engine any modification. Therefore, to evaluate emissions of GTL fuel, the tested diesel vehicles were fueled on blends of GTL fuel/ultra low sulfur diesel fuel(ULSD). And then, we found out that GTL fuel reduced regulated emissions(CO, NOx, HC, PM) compare with conventional diesel fuel.

자동차 표시연비는 국가적으로 에너지관리 지표로서 활용되며, 자동차 제작사의 기술개발을 유도하고, 소비자 차량구매 시 정보제공의 역할을 담당하고 있다. 하지만 정부의 표시연비가 체감연비와 상이하다는 소비자 불만이 지속되어 정부는 보다 정확한 표시연비 측정을 위해 미국의 5-cycle 시험방법을 국내 차량 기준에 맞게 재설정하여 도입하였다. 본래는 다양한 환경조건 및 주행패턴이 반영된 5개의 시험모드를 모두 주행함으로써 측정된 결과 값을 표시연비로 계산하는 방법이지만 소요되는 자원의 급격한 증가에 따른 충격을 완화하기 위하여 2개의 시험모드(도심(FTP-75 mode), 고속도로(HWFET mode))의 결과 값을 5-cycle 시험법으로 계산된 연비 값과 동등한 수준으로 산출하는 5-cycle 보정식을 사용하고 있다. 이 보정식은 2011년에 30대 차량의 5-cycle 시험방법으로 산출되었으나 최근 자동차 기술의 급속한 발전으로 인한 신형식 자동차에 대한 기존 5-cycle 보정식에 대한 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구에서는 최근 기술이 적용된 14대의 신형식 자동차를 대상으로 기존과 동일한 시험 방법을 통해 시험모드별 연비 특성을 확인하고, 기존에 개발된 보정식과 차이를 분석한 결과 기존 시험 차량 결과와 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으며 보정식 또한 최대 1.5% 이내의 오차로써 기존 연비 보정식은 현재의 자동차 기술발전에 따른 개선도에 크게 영향을 받고 있지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

In Korea, the Air Quality Conservation Act and the Petroleum and Petroleum Substitute Fuel Business Act stipulate certain quality standards for fuels distributed in Korea, thereby striving to reduce vehicle performance and emissions. Domestic petroleum products import and produce all the crude oil from each oil refiner so that the quality of the petroleum product is different according to the characteristics of the crude oil. As a result, vehicles have been improved by using the physical properties calculated through the physical property measurement that has tried to improve the accuracy of the measurement of the energy consumption efficiency of the automobile by using standard fuel from abroad. In this study, the same test procedure and method as the test method of domestic gasoline vehicle emission are applied using four samples of gasoline and the latest gasoline vehicle which are actually distributed, and the performance evaluation is performed. The purpose of this study is to contribute to improvement of vehicle technology and fuel quality by collecting necessary basic data and obtaining data on the effect of differences in gasoline property on vehicle emissions. The results of the test showed that the emission of gases (NMOG, CO) from gasoline vehicles was the most influenced by the sulfur content, unlike the previous studies that the vehicles emission had the greatest influence on the distillation characteristics and the specific gravity of aromatic compounds. The catalytic reaction such as the poisoning action of the three-way catalyst which is the abatement device was interfered and the emission was increased. The distillation characteristics and specific gravity of aromatic compounds were found to affect the emission of vehicles. According to the physical properties of the fuel, the emission difference was 28.0% in the urban mode and 17.6 % in the highway mode.

Fuel cell systems are a completely different form of electricity source that has been used so far and is an aggregation of multiple technologies with multidisciplinary features that can be operated safely only when gas and electrical safety are being considered. Since fuel cells generate through electrochemical reactions there are difficulties in ensuring electricity safety, power quality assessment, effective control and reliability standards for system faults using conventional inspection techniques and even though they are necessary as a primary means for reduction of CO2 owing to the Climate Convention, electrical safety assessment and measures are required for the prevention of faults in residential facilities. Although small-scaled distributed power supplies can be utilized as important means of peak control and energy management measures, research is required for observing the effects on the system and the development of inspection technology to ensure stable operation, and the electrical safety of residential fuel cell systems need to be assessed and the problems derived for establishing electrical safety standards. From the year 2002, Japan has established laws on technical safety standards and development and rules on the product specifications and standards for the industrialization of hydrogen fuel cells. Also, a lot of effort have been made for the commercialization of fuel cells by building one-stop certification services. Internationally, the IEC TC 105 has established international standards based on fuel cells. In order to protect the national interest, the country should be able to respond accordingly meet global standards. In fact, in Korea, to comply with the international trend, Korea Energy Management Corporation is establishing a certified agenda for fuel cells and Korean Agency for Technology and Standards is enacting technical standards for fuel cells. The current terms of fuel cells are that research has been focused more on the quality and performance of manufactured products rather than stable power operation and maintenance over time. In this paper, by considering the household fuel cell as a power device, the safety standards of the fuel cell system for a reliable operation with the existing power system is being proposed.

항공기 연료계통은 연료 공급, 연료탱크 간 연료이송, 각 연료탱크 내의 잔여 연료량 측정 등의 기능을 수행하며, 추락 시 화재의 직접적인 원인이 되기 때문에 추락에 견딜 수 있도록 설계하여 승무원의 추락 생존성을 높여야 한다. 민간에서는 연료계통의 내추락 설계를 감항 요구도로 반영하여 철저한 검증을 요구하고 있으며, 비행안전이 확보된 항공기 개발을 위해 관련 감항인증기준 및 입증방안에 대한 연구가 필수적이나 미미한 실정이다. 이러한 사항에 착안하여 본 논문에서는 연료계통 내추락성 입증 지침 마련을 통한 비행안전성 향상 방안 연구의 일환으로 군용 회전익항공기에 적용 가능한 연료계통 내추락 관련 감항인증기준, 입증방법 및 적용 사례에 대한 분석 결과를 기술하였다.

항공유는 문제가 발생 시 대형사고로 이어질 수 있기 때문에 다른 수송용 연료보다 더 엄격히 관리되고 있다. 항공유의 품질기준은 국내의 한국산업표준(KS), 미국재료협회(ASTM)와 국제운송협회(IATA)에서 각각 규정하고 있다. 2016년부터 2017년까지 국내 정유사의 5개 공장에서 생산되는 항공유에 대하여 방향족 함량, 황 함량 및 증류성상 등 6개 항목에 대하여 품질분석을 실시하였다. 국내에서 생산된 항공유는 품질기준에 적합한 것으로 나타났으며, 연간 일정하게 유지되고 있었다. 국제기준인 ASTM과 IATA의 품질기준과 비교했을 때, 방향족 함량은 국내 KS 기준이 ASTM 및 IATA 설정기준보다 1.5 wt% 엄격하게 설정되어 있으나 이 기준을 충분히 만족시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 황 함량, 증류성상 및 인화점 등 나머지 항목들도 국내와 국제기준을 모두 충족하는 것으로 나타났다.

Biogas production and utilisation is an emerging alternative energy technology. Biogas is produced from the biological breakdown of organic matter through anaerobic digestion. Biogas can be utilized for various energy services such as heating, electricity generation and vehicle fuel. Especially, to be utilized as vehicle fuel, raw biogas needs to be upgraded, that is, mainly the removal of carbon dioxide to increase the methane content, up to more than 95% in some cases, similar to the composition of fossil-based natural gas. Biogas fuelled vehicles can reduce $CO_2$ emission by between 75% and 200% compared with fossil fuels. Biomethane development is largely driven by national initiative and predominately by concerns for national air pollution and waste management. Recently, biogas projects for vehicle fuels by some companies are ongoing and Korea government also announced investment to develop biogas as a transport fuel. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the feasibility of biomethane as a transport fuel in Korea. In this study, we investigated quality characteristics, quality standard and upgrading technology to use vehicle fuel of transport sector in Korea.

자동차 공회전은 운전자의 운전 만족도에 여러 영향을 미친다. 또한 보다 높은 연료 경제성의 요구가 고조됨에 따라, 자동차 생산자들은 계속적으로 보다 나은 운전조건의 혜택에 관심을 갖는다. 스파크 점화기관의 공회전에서 기관의 안정성은 연소변동에 의해 좌우되며, 기관의 안정성은 연료분사시기, 점화시기, 그리고 공기연료비 등의 요소들에 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 공회전에서 연료분사시기, 점화시기 그리고 공기연료비 등에 따라, 연소의 안정성과 변동율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다.
