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.

This paper proposes a power system that includes a 120k W fuel cell DC-DC converter (FDC) and 30 kW bidirectional DC-DC converter (BHDC) for a 150 kW fuel-cell vehicle. With a high DC link voltage of 800 V, the efficiency and power density of the power electronic components are improved. Through the modular design of FDC and BHDC, electric components are shared, resulting in reduced mass production costs. The switching frequency of 30 kHz of full SiC devices and optimal design of coupled inductor reduce the volume, achieving a power density of 8.3 kW/L. Furthermore, a synergetic operation strategy using variable limiter control of FDC and BHDC was proposed to efficiently operate the fuel cell vehicle considering the fuel cell stack efficiency according to the load. Finally, the performance of the prototype was verified by Highway Fuel Economy Driving Schedule testing, EMI test, and the linked operation between FDC and BHDC. The full load efficiencies of the FDC and BHDC prototypes are 98.47% and 98.74%, respectively.

The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) with the advantages of low-operating temperature, high current density, low cost and volume, fast start-up ability, and suitability for discontinuous operation becomes the most reasonable and attractive power system for transportation vehicle and micro-grid power plant in a household. 200W PEM-type FCs system was integrated by this study, then the electrical characteristics and diagnosis of the fuel cell were analyzed with variations on mass flow rate and stack temperature. The ranges of the variations are 1~8L/min on $H_2$ volume and $20{\sim}70^{\circ}C$ on stack temperature.

최근 환경오염원의 배출이 적고, 에너지 효율이 높은 연료전지에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 특히 고온동작 연료전지의 경우 대용량 연료전지발전시스템(FCGS, Fuel Cell Generation System)으로 전력계통에 연계되고 있다. 그러나 대용량 FCGS는 계통의 각종외란(불평형전류, 고조파, 서지 등)에 의하여 보호기기의 오동작, 제어소자의 소손현상 및 제어신호 헌팅현상이 발생하여 이에 대한 대책이 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전력분석장비를 이용하여 대용량 FCGS에서 발생하는 실 계통 문제점을 분석하고, PSCAD/EMTDC, ETAP, P-SIM 소프트웨어를 이용하여, FCGS설비 및 FCGS의 접지계통과 불평형전류, 고조파, 서지와 같은 계통외란현상의 모델링을 수행하였다. 또한, 각 계통외란에 대한 방지대책을 수립하기 위하여, 불평형전류를 줄이기 위한 중성점접지저항기(NGR, Neutral Ground Resister)운용알고리즘, 고조파를 기준 범위 이내로 줄이기 위한 고조파필터 설계알고리즘, 서지로부터 설비를 보호하기 위한 SPD(Surge Protective Device) 운용알고리즘, 적절한 접지계통을 적용하기 위한 접지계통 운용알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이를 검증하기 위하여 상기에서 제시한 모델링을 이용하여, FCGS의 주요 장해요인들을 모의한 결과, 본 논문에서 제안된 대용량 FCGS의 계통외란방지알고리즘의 유용성을 확인하였다.

The objective of this study was to design and model the PEM fuel cell excavator with supercapacitor/battery hybrid power source to increase efficiency as well as eliminate greenhouse gas emission. With this configuration, the system can get rid of the internal combustion engine, which has a low efficiency and high emission. For the analysis and simulation, the governing equations of the PEM system, the supercapacitor and battery were derived. These simulations were performed in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The hydraulic modeling of the excavator was also presented, and its model implemented in AMESim and studied. The whole system model was built in a co-simulation environment, which is a combination of MATLAB/Simulink and AMESim software. The simulation results were presented to show the performance of the system.

Efforts are being made to replace ship diesel engines with electric propulsion motors in response to emission regulations. In particular, in the case of short-range small ships, research is being conducted to replace polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) with power sources. However, PEMFC has problems such as slow dynamic response characteristics and reduced durability at high temperatures. To solve this problem, a high-precision ship model was developed with power distribution and thermal management strategies applied, and through this, the required power, heat, and power characteristics of the propulsion system according to the ship's speed profile were analyzed.

This paper presents a new isolated soft-switching bidirectional buck-boost inverter for fuel cell applications. The buck-boost inverter combines an isolated DC-DC converter with a conventional inverter to implement buck-boost DC-DC and DC-AC conversion. The main switches achieve zero voltage switching and zero current switching by using a novel synchronous switching SVPWM and the volume of the transformer in the forward and fly-back mode is also minimized. This inverter is suitable for wide input voltage applications due to its high efficiency under all conditions. An active clamping circuit reduces the switch's spike voltage and regenerates the energy stored in the leakage inductance of the transformer; therefore, the overall efficiency is improved. This paper presents the operating principle, a theoretical analysis and design guidelines. Simulation and experimental results have validated the characteristics of the buck-boost inverter.

As Utility interactive fuel cell systems are widely used, it is required for each power conditioning system(PCS) to have higher generating performance and more stable connecting characteristics. This study is focused to minimization of power losses and hence higher efficiency related to the new half bridge type 3-stage utility interactive PCS topology. The loss factor of half-bridge converter becomes only 1.2[%] under the rated load, and hence total efficiency is maintained to be higher as 91[%].

Operating points of a fuel cell system (FCS) can be shifted to its high-efficiency region by hybridization in a fuel cell hybrid vehicle (FCHV), so the hydrogen can be saved. In this paper, the hydrogen consumption of an FCHV is compared to that of a fuel cell vehicle (FCV). A power management strategy is applied to the FCHV and the related simulation is carried out. The concept of equivalent hydrogen consumption is introduced in order to consider the effect of the difference between initial and final battery SOC on the total hydrogen consumption.
