We propose a novel multi-stack (MS) technique for a compact and wideband electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure in high-speed multilayer printed circuit boards. The proposed MS technique efficiently converts planar EBG arrays into a vertical structure, thus substantially miniaturizing the EBG area and reducing the distance between the noise source and the victim. A dispersion method is presented to examine the effects of the MS technique on the stopband characteristics. Enhanced features of the proposed MS-EBG structure were experimentally verified using test vehicles. It was experimentally demonstrated that the proposed MS-EBG structure efficiently suppresses the power/ground noise over a wideband frequency range with a shorter port-to-port spacing than the unit-cell length, thus overcoming a limitation of previous EBG structures.

VRFB(Vanadium Redox Flow Battery)는 바나듐계 이온을 전해질로 사용하는 레독스 흐름 전지로, 전해질의 양이 전지의 용량을 결정하기 때문에 주로 대용량의 전력이 필요한 플랜트 등에서 주로 사용하는 전지이다. 이 VRFB내에는 Current collector의 부식 방지용으로 두꺼운 Graphite판을 BP(Bipolar plate)로 사용한다. 플랜트에서는 대용량 전지를 필요로 하여 Single stack으로는 사용되기 어렵고, Multi stack으로 주로 사용한다. Multi stack의 경우, 수 백장의 BP가 들어가 전지의 부피가 매우 커지게 되고, 이에 본 연구에서는 BP의 두꺼운 Graphite를 얇은 $TiO_2$ 기판으로 교체하여 성능을 비교하는 연구를 진행하였다. Ti 금속기판을 양극산화법으로 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브 구조를 만든 후, $TiO_2$의 전도도 향상을 목적으로 $IrO_2$를 코팅하였다. 결과적으로 기존의 Graphite에 비해 전기화학적 특성이 향상되었음을 확인하였으며, Cell test를 통해 VRFB의 성능을 평가하였다.

Fuel cells convert a fuel together with oxygen in a highly efficient electrochemical reaction to electricity and water. Since the electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell stack dose not generate any noise, Fuel cell systems are expected to operated much quieter than combustion engines. However, the tonal noise and the broad band noise caused by a centrifugal compressor and an electric motor cause which is required to feed the ambient air to the cathode of the fuel cell stack with high pressure. In this study, the multi-camber perforated muffler is used to reduce noise. We propose optimized muffler model using an axiomatic design method that optimizes the parameters of perforated muffler while keeping the volume of muffler minimized.

낸드 플래시 기반의 SSD (Solid-State Drive)는 HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 대비 월등한 성능에도 불구하고 쓰기 회수 제한이라는 태생적 단점을 가지고 있다. 이로 인해 SSD의 수명은 워크로드에 의해 결정되어 SSD의 기술 변화 추세인 SLC (Single Level Cell) 에서 MLC (Multi Level Cell) 로의 전환, MLC에서 TLC (Triple Level Cell) 로의 전환에 있어 큰 도전이 될 수 있다. 기존 연구들은 주로 wear-leveling 또는 하드웨어 아키텍처 측면에서 SSD의 수명 개선을 다루었으나, 본 논문에서는 호스트가 요청한 쓰기에 대해 SSD가 낸드플래시 메모리를 통해 처리하는 수명관점의 효율성을 대변하는 WAF (Write Amplification Factor) 관점에서 Host I/O 스택 중 파일 시스템, I/O 스케줄러, 링크 전력에 대해 JEDEC 엔터프라이즈 워크로드를 이용해 I/O 스택 최적 구성에 대해 실험적 분석을 수행하였다. WAF는 SSD의 FTL의 효율성을 측정하는 지표로 수명관점에서 가장 객관적으로 사용한다. I/O 스택에 대한 수명 관점의 최적 구성은 MinPower-Dead-XFS로 최대 성능 조합인 MaxPower-Cfq-Ext4에 비해 성능은 13% 감소하였지만 수명은 2.6 배 연장됨을 확인하였다. 이는 I/O 스택의 최적화 구성에 있어, SSD 성능 관점뿐만 아니라 수명 관점의 고려에 대한 유의미를 입증한다.

The effects of internal manifold designs on the reactants feed-stream in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells [PEFCs] is studied to figure out flow and thermal distribution patterns over an entire fuel cell stack. Reactants flows are modeled either laminar of turbulent depending on regions and the open channels in the bipolar plates are simulated by porous media where permeability should be pre-deter-mined for computational analysis. In this work, numerical models for reactants feed-stream In the PEFC manifolds are classified Into two major flow patterns: Z-shape and U-shape. Several types of manifold geometries are analyzed to find the optimal manifold configurations. The effect of heat generation in PEFC on the flow distribution is also Investigated applying a simplified heat transfer model in the stack level (i.e. multi-cell electrochemical power-generation unit). This modeling technique Is well suited for many large scale problems and this scheme can be used not only to account for the manifold flow pattern but also to obtain Information on the optimal design and operation of PEFC systems.

The main objective of this work is to investigate the characteristics of a heat pump system for fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). The present heat pump system adopts an electrically driven compressor running with R134a and uses the heat from the fuel cell stack as the heat source for the exterior heat exchanger. The experimental work has been done with various operating conditions such as different compressor speeds, fuel cell stack coolant temperatures and flow rates. The heating capacity was measured to be from 4 to 10 kW at $-20^{\circ}C$ ambient temperature, and the outlet temperature of interior heat exchanger was up to $70^{\circ}C$. After 30 seconds from start-up, the system reached a steady state and the heating capacity of 6.8 kW was acquired, and after 90 seconds, the air outlet temperature of interior heat exchanger became $35^{\circ}C$.

When designing a redox flow battery system, compression of battery stack is required to prevent leakage of electrolyte and to reduce contact resistance between cell components. In addition, stack compression leads to deformation of the porous carbon electrode, which results in lower porosity and smaller cross-sectional area for electrolyte flow. In this paper, we investigate the effects of electrode compression on the cell performance by applying multi-dimensional, transient model of all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). Simulation result reveals that large compression leads to greater pressure drop throughout the electrodes, which requires large pumping power to circulate electrolyte while lowered ohmic resistance results in better power capability of the battery. Also, cell compression results in imbalance between anolyte and catholyte and convective crossover of vanadium ions through the separator due to large pressure difference between negative and positive electrodes. Although it is predicted that the battery power is quickly improved due to the reduced ohmic resistance, the capacity decay of the battery is accelerated in the long term operation when the battery cell is compressed. Therefore, it is important to optimize the battery performance by taking trade-off between power and capacity when designing VRFB system.
