The world is facing a challenge in meeting its needs for energy. Global energy consumption in the last halfcentury has increased very rapidly and is expected to continue to grow over the next 50 years. However, it is expected to see significant differences between the last 50 years and the next. This paper aims at introducing a good solution to replace or work with conventional marine power plants. This includes the use of fuel cell power plant operated with hydrogen produced through water electrolysis or hydrogen produced from natural gas, gasoline, or diesel fuels through steam reforming processes to mitigate air pollution from ships.

This study predicts the power consumption of an Electric Propulsion Ship (EPS) in marine environment. The EPS is driven by a propeller rotated by a propulsion motor, and the power consumption of the propeller changes by the marine environment. The propulsion motor consumes the highest percentage of the ships' total power. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the power consumption and determine the power generation capacity and the propeller capacity to design an efficient EPS. This study constructs a power estimation simulator for EPS by using a ship motion model including marine environment and an electric power consumption model. The usage factor that represents the relationship between power consumption and propulsion is applied to the simulator for power prediction. Four marine environment scenarios are set up and the power consumed by the propeller to maintain a constant ship speed according to the marine environment is predicted in each scenario.

본 논문에서는 파도의 상하운동에 의해 발전되는 형발전시스템과 진동발전시스템이 결합된 하이브리드 발전방법을 제안한다. 선형발전시스템은 권선과 영구자석으로 구성되어있고, 파도의 상하운동속도를 직접적으로 사용하므로 파도의 주파수에 관계없이 안정적인 발전을 한다. 그리고 진동발전시스템은 진동시스템인 영구자석, 스프링과 발전시스템인 영구자석, 권선으로 구성되어 있다. 진동발전시스템은 파도의 주파수와 진동시스템의 고유진동수를 일치시킨 공진대역에서 구동함으로써 파도의 상하운동 속도보다 더 큰 속도를 이용하여 더 많은 전기에너지를 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안한 하이브리드 파력발전방법은 공진영역에서 더 많은 전기에너지를 얻을 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 공진영역을 벗어난 대역에서도 안정적으로 발전할 수 있는 장점을 가짐을 알 수 있다.

자율운항선박의 기반은 추진시스템의 안정성이 중요하며, 추진체계의 안정성을 위하여 다중 발전 체계 및 추진체계를 갖추어야한다. 기존 선박에서는 안정성을 위하여 높은 발전 용량을 산정하며, 그 결과 저부하 운전으로 인한 경제성 하락을 야기한다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 전력체계의 최적화를 통하여 발전 체계의 경량화와 효율의 증가가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 전기추진선박용 OPMS(Optimization Power Management System)를 구축한다. OPMS는 하이브리드형 발전시스템, 에너지저장시스템, 부하제어시스템으로 구성된다. 발전시스템은 이중연료엔진, 에너지저장시스템은 배터리, 부하제어시스템은 추진 부하, 상용 부하, 불규칙 부하, 화물 기기 관련 부하, 갑판 부하로 구성된다. 각 시스템별 기기들의 특성에 대하여 모델링하여 전력체계를 구축하였다. 실험을 위하여 선박 운용에 따른 시나리오를 작성하고 안정성 및 경제성을 기존의 전기추진선박과 비교하였다. 실험의 결과 발전기의 비교적 적은 시간 투입으로 같은 전력량을 공급함으로써 선박의 LNG 1.3%, Main Fuel 0.3%, Pilot Fuel 35.1%의 연료소모량 감소를 통하여 경제성 및 안정성을 확인하였다.

We have developed a highly efficient boiler system using the 2,600cc Diesel engine. In this system, the co-generation concept is utilized in that the electric power is produced by the generator connected to the engine, and waste heat is recovered from both the exhaust gases and the engine itself by the shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The heat exchanger connected to the engine outlet is specially designed such that it not only recovers waste heat effectively from the exhaust gases, but significantly reduces an engine noise. It is found that the total efficiency(thermal efficiency plus electric power generation efficiency) of this system reaches maximum 96.3％ which is about 15％ higher than the typical Diesel engine boiler system currently being used worldwide.

Sediment cell is renewable energy which produces electric energy using immanent ingredients or reducing power of marine sediment as natural resources. Also the cell has an advantage that environmental pollution can be reduced through conversion of organic and inorganic contaminants into inert matter with generation of the energy. In this paper, we compared characteristics of electricity generation of the two different sediment cells, and investigated the regeneration effect of the sediment cells with manipulation of the sediment such as mixing and re-positioning. The results showed that 14.1 $W/m^2$ of power was obtained with the aluminum electrode, and the mixing of the sediment could increase the power by 4 $W/m^2$ compared to the control. Also, mixing the sediment has kept electricity for 4 weeks at a relatively constant level, which implied 'fuel regeneration effect'. Meanwhile, the sediment cell was proved to be effective in reduction of COD, which was up to 28.6%.

Recently large capacity of electric equipment and increasing in atomic power generation are shown. One of the reason is shortage of the electric power supply for air conditioning load during summer. And every consumer is concerning about economical refrigeration and air conditioning system to decreases electric power consumption and decrease in global warming. For these necessities, ice making thermal storage system is required. Therefore, in this paper, the possibility of continuous slurry ice making using flowing organic water solution in cooled circular tube has been investigated. The experiments was carried out under some parameters of concentration and velocity of water solution, temperature of cooled tube wall, and control pressure in tube, As a result, four types of operating conditions in the pipe, that was supercooling, continuous ice making, intermittent ice making and ice blockage, were classified . And it was found that the critical condition for continuous ice making was acquired as a function of these experimental parameters.

해상에서 운용되는 일점계류형 해양플랜트의 태양광 발전 시스템은 독립 전원 체계를 가지고 있으며, 해상 환경, 부조일수 등의 영향으로 안정적인 전력을 공급하는 것이 중요하다. 이러한 이유로 태양광 패널을 여러 방향으로 설치하게 되는데, 이 때 각 패널마다 입사되는 광량이 달라지므로 부분음영현상이 발생하게 된다. 육상용 태양광 발전시스템의 발전량은 위도의 영향을 받으므로 우리나라의 경우 $30{\sim}36^{\circ}$ 사이의 각도로 설치하는 것이 일반적이나, 일점계류형 해양플랜트에 설치되는 태양광 발전 시스템의 경우 부분 음영 현상에 의해 최대전력점이 제어 가능 범위 밖에 존재하는 경우가 발생하게 되고 이는 전력 발전 손실이 된다. 이 때 두 패널의 광량차이를 줄임으로써, 최대 전력점을 MPPT 알고리즘이 추종 가능한 범위에 존재하게 하여 발전 효율을 더 높일 수 있으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 설치각도 $20^{\circ}$에서 가장 높은 발전 효율 가짐을 확인하였다.
