Experimental basic study was performed to understand the characteristics of sub-cooled refrigerant using a cold heat storage system. This system was made up general vapor-compression refrigeration cycle added sub-cooler and ice storage tank. The purpose of this study are to application use of cold-heat storage systems multiplicity of fields and to understand of sub-cooling system. At the condition using ice storage system, the ice making process was operated during night time by electric power. And then, the refrigerant was sub-cooled using stored cold-heat after being discharged from the air cooling condenser during the day time. Comparing the result at general operation with the operation using sub-cooling system. This study showed the effects of the sub-cooled degree. The cooling performance was increased owing to the sub-cooling of refrigerant during day time, and the compressor consume power was a little decreased. Thus the COP was also increased owing to the sub-cooling of refrigerant.

In December 2017, the government announced plans to increase the current proportion of renewable energy from 7% to 20% by 2030 through a plan called the Renewable Energy 3020 Implementation Plan. Therefore, the demand for installation of photovoltaic(PV), wind turbine(WT) and battery energy storage system(BESS) is expected to increase. In particular, the system combined with energy storage system(ESS) is expected to take up a large portion since PV and WT can receive high renewable energy certificates(REC) weights when combined with ESS. In this study, we calculate the optimal capacity of the power conditioning system(PCS) and the BESS by comparing the economical efficiency and maximize the efficiency of the PV-BESS system in which the PV and the BESS are connected. By analyzing the system marginal price(SMP) and REC, it maximize profits through application of REC weight 5.0 and optimal charge-discharge scheduling according to the SMP changes.

This paper presents an improved approach towards reducing the switching loss of insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) for a medium-capacity-class power conditioning system (PCS). In order to improve the switching performance, the switching operation is analyzed, and based on this analysis, an improved switching method that reduces the switching time and switching loss is proposed. Compared to a conventional gate drive scheme, the switching loss, switching time, and delay are improved in the proposed gate driving method. The performance of the proposed gate driving method is verified through several experiments.

A fuel-cell power system among various alternative power sources has many advantages such as comparatively independable circumstances, high-efficient, and heat-recyclable, thus it is now able to be up to hundreds MWh-scaled through improving feasibility and longevity of it. During the last few decades, numerous research results has been investigated to expand interest in fuel-cell technology. This study presents pressure distribution on the geometrical manifold structures, which are U-type and Z-type, of a planar-type fuel-cell stack by simulated with computational fluid dynamics(CFD). Then, electrical performance of a 200W fuel-cell stack, which is U-type, was diagnosed after pre-conditioning operation. The stack has electrical characteristics ; 22V, 10A, 220W, and current density $200mA/cm^2$.

태양광 발전 시스템은 계통 전원을 공급받지 못하는 도서 지역이나 산간 지역 등에서 배터리 등의 에너지 저장장치를 연계하여 독립적으로 부하에 전력을 공급할 수 있다. 둘 이상의 태양광 패널을 이용해 독립 운전시에 에너지 발전률을 높이기 위해서는 전력 조절기 출력단의 DC 링크의 전압을 일정하게 유지시켜줄 태양광 패널과 MPPT 동작을 수행하는 패널 간의 상호 간섭에 대해서 고려하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 두 개 이상의 태양광 모듈을 이용한 독립운전 시스템에서 안정된 DC-링크 전압동작을 보장하는 태양광 패널 및 전력 조절기의 설계 및 해석을 위해 태양전지 제어를 위한 태양전지 특성과 전력조절기의 제어 특성에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

This paper describes minimum current control method for size reduction and performances improvement at unified inverter-induction motor system. This control method is based on V/F without speed sensor. Through the use of minimum stator current points at required torque during V/F operation it is possible to minimize the size of heat-sink related with the losses of power circuit and to improve overall efficiency compared to conventional V/F control. Using this proposed scheme, it is so much more useful to apply to some fields such a selectric vehicles. air conditioning system and textile mills where the limited space is given and required low cost.

The KEPCO Research Institute has developed Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell(MCFC) since 1993. Recently, an 125-kW MCFC system was operated at Boryeong thermal power plant, Korea from December, 2009 to March, 2010, This system is composed of an 125-kW stack, mechanical balance of plant (MBOP), and Power Conditioning System. The stack has 200 unit cells of which effective area is 10,000 cm2. Especially, MBOP is mainly made up of ejector and catalytic combustor which help this system to be supplied with cathode inlet gas using anode tail gas and fresh air. After the pretreatment of this system was performed for about 20 days, initial load operation was performed at January. 2010. Moreover, this system had been operated for 3,270 hours.

Total six units of 3kW photovoltaic (PV) system and data acquisition system (DAS) are constructed for analyzing performance of PV system at field demonstration test center of Gwang-Ju in Korea. As climatic and irradiation conditions are varied, operation characteristics of the PV system are collected and analyzed in data-acquisition system.
