Fuel cells supply electric power and heat at work, and their exhaust gas is comparatively clear. So they are in the limelight as one of the co-generation systems which behave friendly with the environment. Fuel cells discharge both steam and hot water. Accordingly, if we combine absorption heat pump driven by waste heat with fuel cells, we can construct an advanced energy conserving system. The purpose of this study is the objective for evaluating the possibilities of effectively utilizing waste heat of fuel cells as a heat source for the single and double effect absorption systems. Simulation studies on single and double effect absorption have been performed for water/lithium-bromide pair. The effectiveness of introducing a waste heat source of fuel cells is demonstrated. The result of this study showed that total efficiency was about 85% at rated operation and about 75% at 75% load operation. Absorption cycle moved to more strong concentration when fuel cell operated at 75% load.

KEPRI has studied planar type SOFC stacks using anode-supported single cells and kW class co-generation systems for residential power generation. A 1kW class SOFC system consisted of a hot box part, a cold BOP part and a water reservoir. A hot box part contains a SOFC stack made up of 48 cells with $10{\times}10cm^2$ area and ferritic stainless steel interconnectors, a fuel reformer, a catalytic combustor and heat exchangers. Thermal management and insulation system were especially designed for self-sustainable operation. A cold BOP part was composed of blowers, pumps, a water trap and system control units. When a 1kW class SOFC system was operated at $750^{\circ}C$ with hydrogen, the stack power was 1.2kW at 30 A and 1.6kW at 50A. Turning off an electric furnace, the SOFC system was operated using hydrogen and city gas without any external heat source. Under self-sustainable operation conditions, the stack power was about 1.3kW with hydrogen and 1.2kW with city gas respectively. The system also recuperated heat of about 1.1kW by making hot water. Recently KEPRI developed stacks using $15{\times}15cm^2$ cells and tested them. KEPRI will develop a 5 kW class CHP system using $15{\times}15cm^2$ stacks by 2010.

There is a new power generation system such as direct coal fuel cell (DCFC) with a solid oxide electrolyte operated at relatively high temperature. In the system, it is of great importance to feed coal continuously into anodic electrode surface for its better contact, otherwise it would reduce electrochemical conversion of coal. For that purpose, it is required to improve the electrochemical conversion efficiency by using either rigorous mixing condition such as fluidized bed condition or just by recirculating coal particle itself successively into the reaction zone of the system. In this preliminary study, we followed the second approach to investigate how significantly particle recycle would affect the coal conversion efficiency. As a first phase, coal conversion was analyzed and evaluated from the thermochemical reaction of carbon with air under particle recirculating condition. The coal conversion efficiency was obtained from raw data measured by two different techniques. Effects of temperature and fuel properties on the coal conversion are specifically examined from the thermochemical reaction.

This paper proposes a new configuration of 36-pulse voltage source converter which consists of two 6-pulse bridges and a pulse-interleaving auxiliary circuit. The system topology of proposed converter was derived to increase the pulse number of converter output voltage without increasing the number of 6-pulse bridges. The gate pulse generation was analyzed using the theoretical approach of multi-pulse switching converter, The operational feasibility of proposed system was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software and experimental works with 2kVA hardware prototype. The proposed converter can be widely used for the uninterruptible power supply, the power quality compensator, and the distributed power generation, such as solar and fuel cell power system.

현재 소형 휴대용 배터리의 용량 증가에 따라 배터리 부피가 커지는 문제를 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 직접 메탄올 연료전지가 대안으로 떠오르고 있다. 본 논문에서는 직접 메탄올 연료전지를 상온 상태에서 자연 대류 방식으로 공기를 공급하고, 메탄올의 농도와 유량의 변화에 대한 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 저 농도의 메탄올에서는 수소 이온의 확산 속도 지연에 따른 분극현상이 발생하였고, 메탄올의 공급량이 높을수록 전지 Cell의 냉각 효과가 발생하여 출력이 감소한다.

HYOSUNG manufactured and tested 1kW class PEFC systems to generate electrical and thermal energy for each residential usage. In particular, HYOSUNG developed power conditioning system that performs over 91% electrical conversion ratio specified in 1kW class PEFC systems. Prior to system integration, we tested each performances of components to derive control issues from it. In addition, we have been developing the adequate simulator to describe and predict system performance. In this paper, we verified HYOSUNG's 1kW class PEFC systems are valid for residential energy sources by testing the characteristics of systems and performances of main components.

In this work, a simulation study on net 500 MW class of Poly-Generation was conducted for the retrofit of an aged natural gas combined cycle. An entrained gasifier which has a capacity of maximum $260,000Nm^3/h$, 50 MW class of a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell, and H-class Gas Turbine were selected as key processes. After unit design for those employed processes was set up and combined, the simulation was carried out with Gate-Cycle software (Ver. 6.0) for two cases. The selected cases are a retrofit type (Poly-Gen 1) and a new type (Poly-Gen 2). It was found that the efficiency of the retrofit case is 2.7% lower than that of the new case.

수소전기차와 발전을 시작으로 수소연료전지 시장이 성장하면서 연료전지와 수소의 수요가 증가하고 있으므로, 조기 상용화와 시장 활성화를 위하여 연료전지의 내구성과 연료 이용효율에 관한 연구가 진행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 연료전지의 성능과 연료 이용효율을 최적화하기 위하여 양극 닫힌계의 운전조건에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 부하 전류에 대한 배출 조건과 수소 공급 압력이 고분자전해질 연료전지의 성능에 미치는 영향에 대하여 평가하였고, 전해질막 두께에 대한 물의 역확산 영향을 분석하였다. 양극 닫힌계에서 수소극에 쌓인 물은 연료전지 전압이 3% 감소한 경우에 솔레노이드 밸브를 열어 배출하였다. 수소 공급 압력은 0.1~0.5 bar, 배출 시간은 0.1~1 s까지 변화시키면서 실험을 수행하였다. NR 211 (25.4 um) 전해질막의 경우 0.1 bar의 수소 공급 압력과 0.1 s 배출 시간 조건에서 수소 이용효율 98.9%의 가장 높은 연료 이용효율을 보였지만 잦은 flooding으로 인하여 장시간 운전 시 연료전지의 성능이 감소하였다. 이에 반해 NR 212 (50.8 um)의 전해질막에서 생성된 물과 질소의 역확산 속도를 늦추어 배출 간격을 늘리고 연료 이용효율을 높일 수 있었다.

Recently, the domestic and foreign power trends are the supply of high quality power and environment conservation technology based on the new energies development. So, the dispersed generation systems, such as photovoltaic, fuel cell, and battery are to be introduced in distribution systems. According to the situation change, power of high Quality and reliability are required in distribution systems with dispersed generation. Up to now, the voltage in distribution systems are regulated by ULTC of substation and pole transformer of primary feeders. These days, Step Voltage Regulator(SVR) is getting established at distribution feeders to regulate effectively voltage of primary ffeders that voltage drop exceeds $5\%$. But, because SVR is operated independently with ULTC of substation, SVR can not take play to its full effectivity. Under these circumstances, in order to deliver suitable voltages to as many customers as possible, new optimal voltage regulation algorithms are required in distribution system. So, this paper presents optimal voltage regulation algorithm to regulate voltage effectively for ULTC and SVR in distribution systems with dispersed generation systems.
