This study is to develop a 1kW-class small wind turbine blade which will be applicable to relatively low speed regions. For this blade, a high efficiency wind turbine blade is designed and a light and low cost composite structure blade is adopted considering fatigue life. In this study, shape design of 1kW-class small wind turbine blade for hybrid power generation system is carried out by BEMT(blade element momentum theory). X-FOIL open software was used to acquire lift and drag coefficients of the 2D airfoils used in power prediction procedure. Moreover, pressure and velocity distributions are investigated according to TSR by CFD analysis.

PEMFC has several technical problems such as water management, long term stability and performance degradation as. PEMFC has been studied not only to solve water management, but also to generate power in stable manner to system by using a hybrid system with auxiliary energy storage device. The purpose of this study is to couple PEMFC with supercapacitor to make a hybrid system and to design and test control strategies for stable power generation in case of changing output power. The polarization curve and dynamic behaviors while changing power were investigated to find out characteristics of PEMFC stack. A DC/DC converter was fabricated in order to increase fuel cell and supercapacitor voltage and to charge supercapacitor. We found that the operation strategy 2 was recommended to the system because of solving water management problem and increasing the dynamic behavior.

In previous work, an approach based on maximizing the efficiency of an internal combustion engine while ignoring the power conversion efficiency of other powertrain components, such as the electric motor and power battery or ultracapacitor, was implemented in the steady-state optimization of an internal combustion engine for hybrid electric vehicles. In this paper, a novel control algorithm was developed and successfully justified as the basis for maximal power conversion efficiency of overall powertrain components. Results indicated that fuel economy improvement by 3.9% compared with the conventional control algorithm under China urban transient-state driving-cycle conditions. In addition, using the view of the novel control algorithm, maximal power generation of the electric motor can be chosen.

The electric propulsion system us closely related with the economical efficiency of ship operation. Fuel efficiency is mainly decided by propulsion system such as diesel engine, propulsion motor and steam turbine. The hybrid propulsion system for fishing boat consists of diesel engine and battery as propulsion power source. This paper is to design battery capacity according to power consumption with ship operation condition, and to test the power consumption of model ship in the circulating water channel. As a result. it can be known that the optimum ship operation condition affects the fuel efficiency.

This paper deals with the novel control algorithm of single-phase hybrid active power filter for the compensation of harmonic current components in nonlinear R-L load with passive active power filters. To construct two-axes coordinate, an imaginary second phase was made by giving time delay to line current. In this proposed method, the new signal, which was the delayed through the filtering by the phase-delay property of low-pass filter, is used as the secondary phase. Because two phases have different phase, instantaneous calculation of harmonic current is possible. In this paper, a reference voltage is created by multiplying gain of filter by compensation current using the rotating reference frames that synchronizes with source-frequency, not applying to instantaneous reactive power theory which has been used with the existing fixed reference frames. This paper shows the experimental results, which provide a high accuracy and extremely fast response of single-phase hybrid active Bower filter under the operation with the proposed control method.

The maximum power point of a photovoltaic array alters with changing atmospheric conditions, temperature conditions, shadow conditions, so it is required to track maximum power point. As much as MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) is important in photovoltaic systems, many MPPT techniques have been developed. In this paper, several major existing MPPT methods are comparatively analyzed and novel hybrid MPPT algorithm is proposed. The proposed hybrid MPPT algorithm is developed in combination with traditional MPPT methods to complement each other for improving performance and mitigating partial shading effects. The proposed algorithm is validated by using PISIM simulation tool and experiment in 3kW system.

In Korea, 22.9kV hybrid SFCL (Superconducting Fault Current Limiter) has been developed and carried out long-term field tests in Gochagn power test center of KEPCO through DAPAS program. The SFCL will be installed at a distribution line of Icheon substation in Korea. For the successful application, we have to design the specifications considering real power system operation. This paper proposes a concept of the operating current based rms value for the protection coordination with protective delays and studies a proper range of the current in Korean distribution power system.
