A 5kW class SOFC cogeneration system consisted of a hot box part, a cold BOP (balance of plant) part, and a hot water reservoir. The hot box part contained a stack, a fuel reformer, a catalytic combustor, and heat exchangers. A cold BOP part was composed of blowers, pumps, a water trap, and system control units. A 5kW stack was designed to integrate 2 sub-modules. In this paper, the 5kW class SOFC system was operated using 2 short stacks connected in parallel to test the sub-module and the system. A short stack had 15 cells with $15{\times}15 cm^2$ area. When a natural gas was used, the total power was about 1.38 kW at 120A. Because the sub-modules were connected in parallel and current was loaded using a DC load, voltages of sub-modules were same and the currents were distributed according to the resistance of sub-modules. The voltage of the first stack was 11.46 V at 61A and the voltage of the second stack was 11.49V at 59A.

The durability of 80 kW class stack module was tested in hydrogen recirculation and non-recirculation systems with the condition of 300Amps (constant current mode) and hydrogen pulse purging (10 seconds close/0.8 seconds open). A localized membrane failure in the interfacial area between membrane and sub-gasket, carbon corrosion in cathode electrode, and Pt dissolution/extraction have been found through the post mortem analysis such as CV, Impedance, SEM, and so on. The main reason of these mechanisms will be discussed in this study.

A 5 kW class SOFC system for cogeneration power units was consisted of a hot box part and cold BOPs. High temperature components such as a stack, a fuel reformer, a catalytic combustor, and heat exchanges are arranged in the bot box considering their operating temperatures for the system efficiency. The hot box was made of ceramic boards for the thermal insulation. A 5 kW class SOFC stack was composed of 2 sub-modules and each module had 64 cells with $15{\times}15cm^2$ area and stainless steel interconnects. The 5 kW class SOFC system was operated with a hydrogen and a city gas. With a hydrogen, the total power of the stacks was about 7.1 kWDC and electrical efficiency was about 49.3% at 80 A. With a city gas, the total power of the stacks was about 5.7 $kW_{DC}$ and electrical efficiency was about 38.8% at 60 A. Under self-sustained operating condition, the system efficiency including a power conditioning loss and a consumed power by BOPs was about 30.2%.

In this study, Zigbee Sensor Node to transmit harmful gases CO and $CO_2$ information using wireless communication within the ground and underground structures were developed. Wireless communication protocol was used Zigbee Stack included IEEE 802. 15.4 MAC protocol. For wireless transmission of detected harmful gas signal from ADC of MCU was implemented Zigbee Sensor Node that was developed protocol using Serial-Port-Profile(SPP) here. The proposed Zigbee Sensor Node was verified transmission distance from experiments. Transmission distance was into 90m in experiments. Distance experiments were measured at 10m intervals using sine & pulse wave input signal at indoors. The proposed Route Sensor Node was applied mesh routing protocol. When built up USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)using Route Sensor Node, transmission distance was not limited. On the experimental results, harmful gas values between direct measurements and USN measurements were consistent. The semiconductor CO sensor and N-DIR $CO_2$ sensor module as a harmful sensor was used. Therefore, the proposed Zigbee Sensor Node was verified about reliability and validity to build USN for transmission of harmful gas information.

Since the commencement of the fuel cell business in 2007, POSCO POWER has been the major supplier of the MCFC (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell), which is the most commercialized stationary fuel cell system in the world. With its quite, yet active movement, more than 20MW MCFC systems have been installed and are operating in Korea. While trying to localize the components and set up a firm supply chain in Korea to provide more reliable and cost-competitive products to its customers, POSCO POWER is also devoting itself to developing new MCFC application products. One such product is a back-up power system, in which a back-up algorithm is embedded to the present system so that the product can work as a back-up generator in case of grid failure. The technology to enhance load following capability of a stack module is also being developed with the back-up algorithm. Another example is a building application, the goal being to make the present Sub-MW product suitable for urban area. For this, downsizing and modularization are the main R&D scope. The project for developing ship service fuel cell for APU application will launch soon as well. In the project, a system which can operate in marine environment, and reforming technology for liquid logistic fuel will be developed.

The air supply system has a significant effect on the efficiency of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) systems. The performance and efficiency of automotive PEMFC systems are greatly influenced by their air supply system configurations. This study deals with the system simulation of automotive PEMFC systems using MATLAB/Simulink framework. In this study, a low-pressure operating PEMFC system adopting blower sub-module (turbo-blower) is modeled to investigate the effects of stack operating temperature and air stoichiometry on the parasitic power and efficiency of automotive PEMFC systems. In addition, the PEMFC net system efficiency and parasitic power of air supply system are mainly compared for the two types (low-pressure operating and high-pressure operating) of automotive PEMFC systems under the same net power conditions. It is suggested that the obtained results from this system approach can be applied for establishing the novel operating strategies for FC vehicles.

본 논문에서는 초고속 광인터넷 구축을 위한 광링액세스네트워크(ORAN: Optical Ring Access Network)의 구조에서 파장 라우팅을 위한 새로운 데이터 프레임 구조를 설계하고 각 필드의 기능을 정의하였다. 또한 IP 패킷의 전송을 위하여 필요한 네트워크의 계층별 구조에 대응하는 프로토콜 스택의 구조를 새로이 제시하여 네트워크 프로토콜을 설계하였다. ORAN의 데이터 전송 및 파장 라우팅에 관한 프로토콜 검증을 위하여 서브망 내의 IP 패킷 전송, 서브망 내의 브로드캐스팅 패킷 전송 그리고 다른 서브망으로의 IP 패킷 전달 과정을 예시를 통하여 보여 주었다. 이 과정에서 라우팅을 위한 파장정보가 인캡슐레이션 되는 프레이밍 과정을 기술하였고 각 단계에서 이루어지는 패킷 스위칭 및 패킷의 전달 과정을 자세히 묘사하였다. 이어서 ORAN의 가입자 노드와 두 링의 제어노드에 대하여 데이터 전송 프로토콜의 송/수신 모듈 구조를 자세히 보여주었다. 링 형태의 광액세스 네트워크 프로토콜은 아직 연구되지 않은 분야이다. 본 논문에서는 파장을 이용한 라우팅이 이루어지도록 ORAN의 패킷 전송 프로토콜을 디자인하였다. 그리고 데모 시나리오를 구성한 망에서의 장시간 전송 테스트에서도 안정적으로 파장 라우팅을 통한 패킷 전송이 이루어졌음을 확인하였다. 따라서 이러한 프로토콜의 검증을 통하여 초고속 인터넷 액세스망 구축 설계의 새로운 해법을 제시하였다.
