As the application of multirotor grows, the demands for multirotor that can fly longer and load more are increasing. Hydrogen has a high energy density, so it can satisfy these demands when used in multirotor. In order to design hydrogen fueled multirotor that satisfies the desired flight time and payload, it is important to calculate the specifications of a fuel cell, battery, and hydrogen storage system. This paper contains detailed information on various energy systems used in multirotor and fuel cell powered multirotor research trends. This study proposed a sizing calculation method that meets the target flight time and payload using thrust and power equations. It has been explained how the two equations derive the particular specifications. The specifications of the multirotor were derived by assuming a payload of 50 kg and a flight time of 1 hour. In addition, the effects of the values of the fuel cell, hydrogen storage system, and motor propeller were analyzed.

최근, 연료전지는 새로운 발전시스템으로 주목받고 있다. 연료전지는 저전압/대전류의 전기적 특성을 가진다. 그러므로 일반 상용부하에 적용하기 위해서는 승압용 컨버터와 인버터가 필요하다. 제안된 시스템은 연료전지의 전압을 380[Vdc]로 승압하기 위한 절연형 DC-DC 컨버터와 단상 220[Vac]로 변환하기 위한 LC 필터를 가진 PWM 인버터로 구성된다. 또한, 연료전지 발전시스템용 양방향 DC-DC 컨버터는 부하 응답 특성을 개선시키기 위하여 구성하였다. 본 논문에서는 풀 브리지 컨버터와 단상 인버터를 설계하고 제작하였으며, 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 연료전지 발전 시스템이 분산전원에 적용이 가능함을 보여준다.

최근 급속한 산업 발달과 생활수준의 향상으로 인하여 전력 수요가 점차 증대되고 있고 이러한 전력수요 급증에 의해 화석연료 의존도가 높은 우리나라의 경우 국제환경 규제에 의한 온실가스 배출량의 감축 및 동결은 바로 산업 활동의 위축을 가져오게 된다. 이에 따라 환경을 국가의 산업생산 활동과 연계시키고자 하는 선진국과의 경쟁에서 많은 어려움이 발생하고 있고 이에 대한 대책으로 대체 에너지의 개발이 세계적으로 큰 관심거리가 되고 있다. 이러한 새로운 발전방식 중 비교적 용량이 작은 소규모의 발전설비는 태양광발전 (Photovoltaic generation), 풍력발전 (Wind power generation), 연료전지발전 (Fuel cell generation) 등이 있다. 그중 실용화에 있어서 중요한 요소인 연속운전 및 높은 발전효율, 장기적인 내구성을 고려할 때 가장 주목을 받는 것이 연료전지이다. 연료전지 기술은 화석연료 사용에 따른 공해요인의 제거 및 전력산업 구조조정에 따른 분산형 전원으로서 개발 및 보급 가능성이 큰 새로운 형태의 발전방식으로 주목받고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 연료전지에서 발생하는 직류전원을 입력으로 하여 최종적으로 우리 일상생활에서 사용하는 교류전원을 얻는 데 필요한 전력변환 회로를 설계하여 연료전지 발전시스템을 연구 및 구성하였다.

KEPCO was operating power plants with diesel generators in 49 islands including Baekryeong-Do, and the generation capacity was about 66 MW in 2008. The cost of fuel is increasing by the international oil price inflation and continuous rise of oil price is predicted. For the stabilizing of electric power supply to the separate islands, renewable energy and fuel cell systems were considered. Hydrogen is made using renewable energy such as wind power and solar energy, and then a fuel cell system generates electricity with the stored hydrogen. Though the system efficiency is low, it is treated as the only way to secure the stable electric supply using renewable energy at this present. The analytic hierarchy process was used to select suitable candidate island for the system installation and 5 islands including Ulleung-Do were selected. Economic evaluation for the system composed of a kerosene generator, a wind power, an electrolysis, and a fuel cell system was conducted with levelized generation cost based on present value methode. As the result, the necessity of renewable energy combined generation system and micro grid composition in the candidated islands was confirmed. Henceforth, the development of an integration technology which connects micro grid to the total power grid will be needed.

The performance prediction model of a solid oxide fuel cell stack has been developed using deep neural network technique, one of the machine learning methods. The machine learning has been received much interest in various fields, including energy system mo- deling. Using machine learning technique can save time and cost requried in developing an energy system model being compared to the conventional method, that is a combination of a mathematical modeling and an experimental validation. Results reveal that the mean average percent error, root mean square error, and coefficient of determination (R2) range 1.7515, 0.1342, 0.8597, repectively, in maximum. To improve the predictability of the model, the pre-processing is effective and interpolative machine learning and application is more accurate than the extrapolative cases.

In Korea, there are no instances where a hydrogen fuel cell power generation system has been used in a railway vehicle. Only the basic topology has been studied. In the previous study, conventional converters using a single switch were applied to the fuel cell power generation system. Therefore, current stress on the switch at converter on-off transitions would be large when controlling a large-capacity railway vehicle. In addition, since the input side ripple is also large, there is a problem with a shortening of the lifetime of both the fuel cell power generation system and the inductor. In this paper, a soft-switching transformer inductor boost converter for fuel cell powered railway vehicles was proposed. A technique to reduce both the switching current stress generated during on-off transitions, and the input ripple current flowing in the inductor were studied. The soft-switching TIB converter uses a transformer-type inductor to configure the entire circuit in an interleaved method, and reduces both input current ripple and the current ripple of the inductor and switch.

This study presents a novel way to enhance uniformity of the gas flow inside the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), which is critically important to fuel cell performance, by using dimples. A pattern of dimple, which works as a flow distributor/collector, is designed at the inlet and outlet section of a straight channel gas separator. Size of the dimples and the gap between them were changed to optimize the flow uniformity, and any change in size or gap is considered as one design. The results show that some dimple patterns significantly enhance the uniformity compared to baseline, about 4%, while the others slightly reduce it, about 1%. Besides, the dimple pattern also affects to the pressure drop in the flow channel, however the pressure drop in all cases are negligible (less than 26.4 Pa).
