Various polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) startup procedures were tested to explore possible techniques for reducing performance decay and improving durability during repeated startup-shutdown cycles. The effects of applying a dummy load, which prevents cell reversal by consuming the air at the cathode, on the degradation of a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) were investigated via single cell experiments. The electrochemical results showed that application of a dummy load during the startup procedure significantly reduced the performance decay, the decrease in the electrochemically active surface area (EAS), and the increase in the charge transfer resistance ($R_{ct}$), which resulted in a dramatic improvement in durability. After 1200 startup-shutdown cycles, post-mortem analyses were carried out to investigate the degradation mechanisms via various physicochemical methods including FESEM, an on-line $CO_2$ analysis, EPMA, XRD, FETEM, SAED, FTIR. After 1200 startup-shutdown cycles, severe Pt particle sintering/agglomeration/dissolution and carbon corrosion were observed at the cathode catalyst layer when starting up a PEMFC without a dummy load, which significantly contributed to a loss of Pt surface area, and thus to cell performance degradation. However, applying a dummy load during the startup procedure remarkably mitigated such severe degradations, and should be used to increase the durability of MEAs in PEMFCs. Our results suggest that starting up PEMFCs while applying a dummy load is an effective method for mitigating performance degradation caused by reverse current under a repetition of unprotected startup cycles.

To investigate degradation mechanism of PEMFC operated with repetitive startup/shutdown cycling, i-V characteristics, impedance, cyclic voltamograms were measured. OCV decreased from 0.967 to 0.951 V while the cell voltage at 800mA/$cm^2$ from 0.657 to 0.563V, implying that the electrodes rather than membrane electrolyte was damaged during the cycling operation. Electrochemical analyses supported that the performance degradation could be mainly attributed to degradation of the electrodes such as a decrease in electrochemical active surface area rather than degradation of membrane.

발사체 엔진 시동 및 정지시 발생하는 압력 섭동 및 압력 강하에 대한 검토를 수행하였다. 특히 PSD(Pogo Suppression Device)이 존재하는 경우 엔진 시동 혹은 정지시 이에 대한 영향을 검토하기 위해 연구를 수행하였다. 해석을 수행하기 위해 상용 1D 해석 프로그램인 Flowmaster를 사용하여 추진제 탱크 및 PSD, 엔진을 모델링하였다. 해석 결과 PSD가 설치되어 있어도 엔진 시동 및 정지시 터보펌프 입구에서의 압력 강하 및 상승에 변화가 없음을 확인하였다. 단, PSD의 본래 목적에 맞게 배관에서의 높은 주파수 대역의 압력 섭동을 낮추는 효과를 확인하였다.

The startup behaviour of PEM fuel cells at subfreeze zero is one of the most challenging tasks to be solved before PEM fuel cell vehicle is commercialized. Automotive companies are trying to increase cold statup capability of fuel cell. In this study, we found out the design factor of the stack to increase cold startup capability using 4kW stack and then cold startup test was performed at the various shutdown condition and the various current. In order to test the cold startup possibility and capability in vehicle, we installed 80kW stack in the vehicle and this 80kW fuel cell vehicle was housed in an environmental chamber to investigate the characteristics of cold startup and driving. We found that it is possible for fuel cell vehicle with 80kW stack to self-heated cold startup and drive at $-15^{\circ}C$.

고분자전해질연료전지(PEMFC)는 시동/정지과정에서 성능과 수명이 감소한다. 본 연구에서는 캐소드가스로 산소를 사용하는 데드엔드 형 PEMFC의 시동/정지 과정의 영향을 분극곡선, 임피던스(EIS), SEM과 TEM을 사용해 연구하였다. 시동/정지 과정에서 PEMFC 성능감소를 막기 위해서는 더미 로드를 사용해야 함을 보였다. 시동/정지 반복과정 중 50% 상대습도(RH)에서 캐소드 카본지지체의 부식에 의한 열화가 100% RH보다 심했다. 데드엔드 형 PEMFC의 정지과정에서 PEMFC에 물을 공급해줌으로써 50% RH에서 열화속도를 감소시켰다.

The dynamic behavior of heat recovery steam generators for combined cycle power plant is simulated in cases of startup and shutdown conditions. To ensure performance and design data, dynamic model of the HRSG was developed and dynamic simulation was performed. The dynamic analysis will undoubtedly reduce costs which is associated with plant startup and contribute to a smooth commercial plant operation.

자동차용 고분자전해질 연료전지의 열화는 시동 또는 정지 시에 'reverse-current condition'이라 불리는 현상에 의해 촉진된다. 연료전지 자동차의 운전 종료 후 장시간동안 주차를 해 두면, 대기 중의 공기가 스택 내로 서서히 유입되어 시간이 경과함에 따라 산소분압이 점차 높아져 궁극적으로는 연료극과 공기극의 유로가 모두 공기로 충진된다. 이때 재시동하면서 연료극으로 수소가 공급되면, 연료극 유로 내에 수소와 공기가 공존하게 되고, 연료극에 공기가 존재하는 부위의 공기극에 1.4 V 이상의 높은 전압이 발생하는데, 이를 reverse-current condition 이라고 하며 공기극의 탄소담지체와 백금 촉매 산화의 원인으로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 재시동시 스택 내에 존재하는 산소의 농도에 따른 열화 현상을 규명하고자 하였다.

The dynamic behavior analysis of air-lubricated tilting pad journal bearing which considers start-up, running and shutdown Process were performed. By carrying out the experiment of shaft vibration, measurement of the vibration amplitudes supported by air lubricated tilting pad bearing and analysis of the result, we found more accurate dynamic behavior of the system. There were many investigations in these bearings, but dynamic behavior of startup, shutdown and running process were lacked. By using the experimental data we found the accurate dynamic behavior of the system.

The development of automation technology to reduce human error by minimizing human intervention is accelerating with artificial intelligence and big data processing technology, even in the nuclear field. Among nuclear power plant operation modes, the startup and shutdown operations are still performed manually and thus have the potential for human error. As part of the development of an autonomous operation system for startup operation, this paper proposes an action coordinating strategy to obtain the optimal actions. The lower level of the system consists of operating blocks that are created by analyzing the operation tasks to achieve local goals through soft actor-critic algorithms. However, when multiple agents try to perform conflicting actions, a method is needed to coordinate them, and for this, an action coordination strategy was developed in this work as the upper level of the system. Three quantification methods were compared and evaluated based on the future plant state predicted by plant parameter prediction models using long short-term memory networks. Results confirmed that the optimal action to satisfy the limiting conditions for operation can be selected by coordinating the action sets. It is expected that this methodology can be generalized through future research.
