This paper shows a satellite battery cell voltage monitor system to make differential voltage measurements when one or both measurement points are beyond voltage range allowed by a conventional differential amplifier. This system is particularly useful for monitoring the individual cell voltage of series-connected cells that constitute a rechargeable satellite battery in which some cell voltages must be measured in the presence of high common mode voltage.

현재 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 2차 전지는 Ni/cd 전지이며 카드뮴 전극의 사용으로 인해 공해 유발 문제를 가지고 있다. 그에 따라 공해 유발문제가 작은 전지를 제작하고자 하는 연구가 전세계적으로 진행되었고, 결과적으로 NiMH 전지가 개발되었다. 그러나 NiMH 전지에 사용되는 MH 전극은 희토류 토금속을 사용하기 때문에 전극 제작 비용이 비싼 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 실험에서는 자연 중 존재량이 많은 철 화합물을 음극 물질로 이용하여 공해 유발 문제와 제작비용 문제에 대한 대안을 제시하고자 하였다. 전지의 양극 물질은 Kamath에 의해 개발된 ${\alpha}-Ni(OH)_2$의 합성법을 응용, 제작하였다. 제작된 ${\alpha}-Ni(OH)_2/{\gamma}-FeOOH(an)$ 전지의 충 방전 및 전기화학적 특성을 조사하여 보고하였다.

The morphology changes of cadmium hydroxide into ${\gamma}$ phase by eletrolytes were carried out to improve the high rate charge and discharge efficiency of pasted cadmium electrodes. KOH solutions with different concentrations of NaOH were used as eletrolytes. It was found that the utilization of active material of cadmium electrode was the best in an electrolyte with 1.82 M NaOH. The amount of ${\gamma}-Cd(OH)_2$ increased in proportion to the concentration of NaOH. The surface area measurement showed that an active material which contained mainly ${\gamma}-Cd(OH)_2$ had a higher specific surface area than an active material of ${\beta}-Cd(OH)_2$. In a sealed cell, the discharge capacity was improved at high rate charge and discharge (1.0 C, 2.0 C) by using an electrolyte with NaOH. Furthermore, these improved performances were maintained up to 500 cycles at 1.0 C rate charge and discharge cycles.

The electrochemical behavior of cadmium electrode for the nickel-cadmium battery system has been studied by cyclic voltammetry, controlled potential electrolysis and X-ray diffraction method. Cathodic polarization curve for cadmium hydroxide electrode prepared by electrochemical pretreatment of metallic cadmium showed two peaks. It has been found that cadmium hydroxide was reduced to cadmium metal at the first peak potential, whereas very activated metal of cadmium which was strongly oriented (002) rather than (101) was formed at the second peak potential. It was also found that the cadmium formed at the second peak potential reacted rapidly with oxygen. Therefore, it could be presumed that the cadmium recombination reaction with the oxygen was chemical, and could be represented as $2Cd + O_2 + 2H_2O\;{\longrightarrow}\;2Cd(OH)_2$.

In order to efficiently recycle waste industrial nickel-cadmium batteries, anodic and cathodic materials were crushed by a cut mill and classified by sieves. We used wet magnetic separation method for eliminating iron components from the crushed powders. In addition, the acid leaching test for the obtained anode and cathode powders was carried out under various conditions by means of the wet process. At the optimum leaching conditions with 2.0 M $H_2SO_4$ at $90^{\circ}C$, 15 wt $H_2O_2$ and L/S=20 for 3 hours, the leaching efficiency of nickel and cadmium was 99%, respectively.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze low-temperature starting performance of the light attacker and to search and improve the aircraft system including battery and Battery Charge and Control Unit(BCCU). Methods: In order to improve the starting up performance of the light attacker at low-temp, various deficiency cause were derived and analyzed using Fault Tree Analysis method. As a result, it was confirmed there were drawbacks in the charging and discharging mechanism of the battery. The inactivation of the battery's electrolyte at low-temp and the premature termination of the battery charge were the main cause. After long error and trial, we improved these problems by improving performance of battery and optimizing the charging algorithm of BCCU. Results: It was confirmed that the problems of starting up failures were solved through the combined performance test of the battery and BCCU, the ground test using the aircraft system and the operation test conducted by Korea Airforce operating unit for 3 months in winter. Conclusion: This study showed that the improvement of quality reliability was achieved and thus the start-up performance issue of the light attacker has been resolved at low temperature. And it is expected that the design methodologies of temperature-affected electrical system of aircraft will contribute to the development of the aircraft industry in the future.

Aircraft battery is the core equipment of an aircraft that supplies engine starting power and emergency power, and it must be charged to ensure sufficient capacity at all times and maintain high reliability to ensure stable power supply. The battery of the T-50 series aircraft is designed to enable the engine to start up to two times in temperatures as low as -18℃ and above. However, intermittent failures in engine starting have been observed during winter. In this paper, we analyze the failure phenomena occurring during low-temperature charging of the battery and improve the charging algorithm based on the analysis and test. Additionally, the results of start simulation tests show that the battery charging defects at low temperatures are resolved, and an improvement in the charging performance is confirmed; thus, validating the effectiveness of the new algorithm.

인공위성에 사용되는 배터리 기술은 1960년대 최초로 사용된 니켈 카드뮴(NiCd)을 시작으로 발전하기 시작해서 현재는 리튬-이온(Li-Ion)에 이르렀다. 리튬-이온 배터리는 높은 Energy Density(작은 크기와 무게), 낮은 자가 방전율을 가짐과 동시에 메모리 효과가 거의 없다는 장점이 있다. 하지만 리튬-이온 배터리 팩의 성능(Voltage, Capacity, Lifetime)은 사용된 Cell간 특성차이(State of Charge, Total Capacity Difference, Internal Impedance)에 의해 제한된다. 일반적으로 배터리는 원하는 전압과 용량을 확보하기 위해 직렬-병렬 혹은 병렬-직렬 구조를 가지는 팩 형태로 제작 된다. Cell간 특성차이가 존재하는 상태에서 배터리 팩을 사용할 경우 특정 Cell의 과충전 및 과방전이 발생하며 이로 인해 수명이 단축될 수 있고 심한 경우 폭발이 발생할 수 도 있다. 또한 Cell간 특성차이는 배터리팩의 사용가능 용량을 제한하는 효과를 가져 온다. 본 논문에서는 Battery 팩을 구성하는 Cell들에 특성 차이가 존재할 경우 발생할 수 있는 Battery 팩의 수명 단축 및 용량 감소 Mechanism에 대해서 고찰한다. 또한 Cell간 특성차이를 극복하기 위해 실제 위성 운용에 적용될 수 있는 배터리팩의 Balancing 방안과 함께 위성에 장착을 위해 보관중인 4p12s Battery의 Balancing 방안에 대해 고찰하고 Balancing 전후의 Cell간 특성(Voltage Dispersion) 차이 측정결과를 보인다. 이렇게 본 논문에서 소개한 리튬-이온 배터리의 전반적인 Balancing 방안은 추후 인공위성에 적용되는 리튬-이온 배터리의 운용 및 보관에 Guide Line을 제시할 것이라고 판단한다.

A battery is an important part of the component, as a power source of the control of rolling stock at starting movement or emergency control. Now widely used batteries are Ni-Cd batteries and lead accumulators, and these are increasingly getting smaller and lighter. In addition, the electric capacity required is increasing, due to the development of electronic control technology of rolling stock. Therefore, various kinds of high-efficiency battery are considered for the new routes' rolling stock, but rolling stock's batteries should be fully tested to prove safety and also have no difficulty in terms of management, so because of the requirement, it is difficult to be in practical application. In this paper, we will survey cases of applying battery to rolling stock and then we will review whether there is any problem about safety and performance, management to discuss future trend of batteries.
