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.

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.

The fuel cell, a renewable energy facility, hasn t come into wide use to the public. However, the usefulness of it is so high through Supply Business called Green Home, general auxiliary Supply Business, obligation to supply renewable energy for public organizations, Building Certification System and compulsory quota of using renewable energy to power generating businesses, etc. Intial installation was supported by government and a local autonomous entities in case of home fuel cell. Cost-benefits of installing it in home are approximately from $1,000 to $2,500. As Korea applies a progressive tax scheme in home electricity, energy costs are associated with electricity consumption. We should contemplate ways to make effective use of additional waste heat because technology of fuel cell is kind of a cogeneration.

According to Electricity Acceleration Law of Rural Area recently, the needs for replacement of a small scale diesel power generation facility which supplied electricity to 10-50 households Remote Islands has been revealed due to high operating and maintenance cost of Diesel Power Generation. Optimization of electric power system for Small Remote Islands must be made considering the economics, reliability and stability as power sources and estimation of total construction cost of those power stations. For its purpose, an assessment of power generation options such as Photovoltaic, Fuel cell, Wind-hybrid was implemented, economic evaluation of power supply shows the Photovoltaic, Fuel Cell for few household's islands and Diesel, Wind-hybrid for more inhabited islands. Power supplied by Diesel shows the best response to increasing electric demand and system reliability even with its lower economic value. Those who are in charge of power planning have to pay attention to system reliability, stability and operating characteristics of candidate's power supply besides its economics.

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.

신재생에너지 중 태양 및 풍력에너지는 자원의 제어가 쉽지 않아 불규칙적인 전력을 생산하여 계통연계 시 불안정하다. 하지만 연료전지 시스템의 경우, 제어가능한 자원인 수소에너지를 기반으로 일정한 주파수와 전력을 생산하며 계통연계 시 좀 더 안정적이다. 이와 같은 연료전지 시스템을 가정에서 사용하기 위해서는 전력변환장치의 안전성능이 중요하며 그 중 전자파적합성 성능 평가 방법이 중요하게 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 연료전지 전력변환장치 성능평가 항목 중 전자파적합성의 국제규격과 국내 인증 기준 KGS AB934 PC53과 비교 분석하여 전원주파수 자계내성 시험의 도입 가능성을 검토하였다. 또한 실증 평가를 실시하여 성능 평가 보조 지표로 활용 가능한 정량적 데이터 확보에 대해 연구하였다.
