Fuel cells power generating system converts the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electrical energy. The merits of fuel cells power generating system are pollution free and high energy conversion efficiency. Fuel cells power generating system includes the DC/AC converter. DC source obtained from stack is converted to the constant AC voltage or current by the inverter. In this paper, the power control techniques for the fuel cells power generating system are described.

The fuel cell systems are one of very useful energy sources. The systems have advantages as renewable and environmental sources. To obtain AC components from fuel cells, it needs inverters. A multilevel converter is used as a power conversion system for a high power fuel cell system. Through harmonic analysis, it is shown that the harmonic components and THD increase while a fundamental component of output decreases as voltage droop increases. To solve the voltage disturbance problems, three different approaches are investigated in this paper; installation of a boost converter at the fuel cell output, control of pulse widths, and use of ultracapacitors. The proposed three approaches are analyzed and compared through simulation and experimental results.

This study is aimed to characterize the combustion behavior of solid fuel in the various types of the combustors: stoker, rotary kiln and fluidized bed type combustors. Three different types of reduced-scale combustors are introduced, and temperatures and flue gas compositions are measured for various fuel sizes, water contents, initial temperature, and air flow rates. In case of the rotary kiln combustor, effects of rotating speed of the combustor are also investigated. Mean carbon conversion time (MCCT) and flame propagation rate (FPR) are used for the quantitative analysis. It is revealed that the reaction rates of the fuel are significantly influenced by the fuel characteristics, type of the combustors and air flow rate. Major design parameters for each type of the combustors are summarized through the reduced-scaled model analysis.

청정에너지의 중요성이 부각됨에 따라 수소연료를 활용한 고효율, 무공해 전력 공급원인 연료전지에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 연료전지는 전기화학 반응에 의한 화학에너지를 직접 전기에너지로 변환시키는 장치로 자동차, 우주항공, 산업 및 가정용 발전 등에 적용할 수 있는 잠재력이 있다. 최근 재료 및 에너지 변환공정 차원에서 바람직한 $200{\sim}500^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 작동하는 중온형 연료전지에 대한 새로운 인식과 이 온도범위에서 사용 가능한 수소이온 전도성 물질의 개발 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문은 고체 수소이온 전도체의 특성과 기술 현황을 소개하고, perovskite형 고체 무기 산화물을 이용한 중온형 연료전지 응용에 관한 연구에 대하여 고찰하였다.

This study evaluated the microbial conversion of coconut oil waste, a major agro-residue in tropical countries, into single cell oil (SCO) feedstock for biodiesel production. Copra cake was used as a low-cost renewable substrate without any prior chemical or enzymatic pretreatment for submerged growth of an oleaginous tropical mangrove fungus, Aspergillus terreus IBB M1. The SCO extracted from fermented biomass was converted into fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) by transesterification and evaluated on the basis of fatty acid profiles and key fuel properties for biodiesel. The fungus produced a biomass (8.2 g/l) yielding 257 mg/g copra cake SCO with ~98% FAMEs. The FAMEs were mainly composed of saturated methyl esters (61.2%) of medium-chain fatty acids (C12-C18) with methyl oleate (C18:1; 16.57%) and methyl linoleate (C18:2; 19.97%) making up the unsaturated content. A higher content of both saturated FAMEs and methyl oleate along with the absence of polyunsaturated FAMEs with ≥4 double bonds is expected to impart good fuel quality. This was evident from the predicted and experimentally determined key fuel properties of FAMEs (density, kinematic viscosity, iodine value, acid number, cetane number), which were in accordance with the international (ASTM D6751, EN 14214) and national (IS 15607) biodiesel standards, suggesting their suitability as a biodiesel fuel. The low cost, renewable nature, and easy availability of copra cake, its conversion into SCO without any thermochemical pretreatment, and pelleted fungal growth facilitating easier downstream processing by simple filtration make this process cost effective and environmentally favorable.

The use of fossil fuels is a major contributor to the increase atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions. As such problems arise, interest in new and renewable energy devices, particularly fuel cells, is greatly increasing. In this study, various characteristics of mixed strains were observed in wastewater collected by the Jeonju Environment Office to investigate the effects of microorganisms on voltage generation and voltage generation of substrates, electrode materials, electrons, electron transport media, and ash microbial fuel cells. As a result of separately measuring the voltage generated during inoculation, the inoculation voltage of Escherichia coli K12 (E. coli K12) was 0.45 V, and the maximum inoculation voltage of the mixed strain was 1.2 V. Thereafter, voltage values were collected using a digital multimeter and the amount of voltage generated over time was measured. In the case of E. coli K12, the maximum voltage reached 0.45 V, and the cell voltage was maintained above 0.23 V for 140 hours. In contrast, for the mixed strain, the maximum voltage reached 1.2 V and the voltage was slowly decreased to 0.97 V. In addition, the degree of microbial adsorption to the electrod surface after the inoculation test was confirmed using a scanning electron microscope. Therefore, these results showed the possibility of purifying pollutants at the same time as power generation through the production of hydrogen ions using microorganisms and wastewater.

A series of QPAE/TiO₂-x (x = 1, 4, 7 and 10 wt%) organic/inorganic composite membranes were prepared as electrolyte membranes for alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cells by controlling the content of inorganic filler with quaternized poly(arylene ether) (QPAE) random copolymer. Among the prepared QPAE/TiO₂-x organic/inorganic composite membranes, the highest ionic conductivity was 26.6 mS cm^-1 at 30℃ in QPAE/TiO₂-7 composite membrane, which was improvement over the ionic conductivity value of 6.4 mS cm^-1 (at 30℃) of the pristine QPAE membrane. Furthermore, the water uptake, swelling ratio, ionic exchange capacity, and thermal property of QPAE/TiO₂-x composite membranes were improved compared to the pristine QPAE membrane. The results of these studies suggest that the fabricated QPAE/TiO₂-x composite membranes have good prospects for alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cell applications.

본 연구에서는 연료전지의 전압을 $380[V_{DC}]$로 승압하기 위한 새로운 절연형 DC-DC 컨버터와 단상 $220[V_{DC}]$로 변환하기 위한 LC필터를 가진 PWM 인버터로 구성된 연료전지용 전력변환장치를 제안하였다. 여기서 기존의 컨버터보다 부품수가 적고 제어가 용이하며, 대용량에 적합한 새로운 DC-DC 컨버터는 2차측에 스위치 $S_5,\;S_6$을 추가로 구성하여 위상천이 폭을 조절함으로써 출력 전력을 제어할 수 있으며, 넓은 출력 전압 조정에서도 $93{\sim}97[%]$의 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 그리고 연료전지와 유사한 출력 특성을 갖는 연료전지 시뮬레이터를 구현하였으며, 적절한 데드 타임 td을 제어하여 고주파 변압기의 여자 전류의 피크값과 고주파 변압기 1차측 전류가 일치하는 부분에서 소프트 스위칭을 실현 시켰다. 또한 직렬 인덕턴스 La를 추가적으로 적절하게 설정하여 2차측의 스위치와 직렬 다이오드에 발생하는 서지 전압과 경부하시에 발생되는 도통 손실을 저감시켰다. 끝으로 TMS320C31보드와 EPLD를 이용한 PWM 스위칭 기법에 의해 동작하는 단상 인버터를 설계, 제작하여 가정용 교류전압 공급에 유용하게 활용할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 술폰화된 sodium 5,5'-carbonylbis(2-fluorobenzene sulfonate) 단량체를 이용하여 친수성 올리고머를 합성한 뒤 소수성 올리고머와 1:1로 공중합반응을 시켜 sulfonated poly(arylene ether ketone) (SPAEK) 공중합체를 합성하였다. 제조한 공중합체의 구조 분석은 $^1H$-NMR, FT-IR, GPC를 사용하여 실시하였고, GPC에서 공중합체의 평균분자량은 $209,700g\;mol^{-1}$, 다분산지수(PDI)는 1.25이었다. 열적 안정성을 확인하기 위하여 TGA 분석을 실시하였고, $200^{\circ}C$이상에서의 열 안정성을 확인하였다. 고분자 전해질 막의 양이온 전도도는 상대습도 100%, $80^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 약 $9.0mS\;cm^{-1}$이었다. 측정된 결과로부터 본 연구에서 제조한 탄화수소계 전해질 막은 술폰화 정도를 증가시키거나 약간의 구조적 변형을 통해 연료전지용 고분자 전해질 막으로 적용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
