An experimental study on the catalytic reformer adopted in the auxiliary power unit system of solid oxide fuel cell was conducted. A 3-fluid nozzle, by which liquid fuel such as diesel, water and air are sprayed and uniformed mixed, was designed and used in this study. An electrically heated monolith inserted in the reformer was used for the vaporization of fuel and water in the transient state of reformer. The reformer uses the partial oxidizing reaction at the catalyst and the supply of water prevents the flame combustion in the spraying zone and lessens the deactivation of catalyst. The result showed that the reforming of liquid fuel can be started by the electrically heated monolith and the 3-fluid nozzle can give the uniform mixing of fuel, water and air. It was also found that the reformer fueled by n-hexadecane can make the reformate, at best, containing $H_2$ at 15.5% and CO at 11.5% that are used as fuel in the solid oxide fuel cell.

도시 폐기물 연료(RDF) 가스화 공정에서 생성되는 촤를 보조 연료로 사용할 수 있는지 가능성을 알아보기 위하여 연소실험을 수행하였다. RDF 촤의 고위 발열량은 3000~4000 kcal/kg이었고 염소 함량은 염소기준치함량보다 낮았다. 이는 보조 연료로서의 가능성을 보여주는 것이다. 연소 배가스에서, 최대 $NO_x$와 $SO_2$의 농도는 각각 240 ppm과 223 ppm이었다. 만약 후처리 공정이 적용되면, 이들의 농도를 대기 오염배출기준을 충분히 만족시킬 수 있게 낮게 제어 가능할 것이다. HCl의 농도는 상대적으로 높았으며, 이는 RDF 연소시 HCl 배출에 주의를 기울어야 함을 의미한다. 반응기 내의 온도 분포, $O_2$와 $CO_2$의 농도변화, 고체 잔사물의 양과 연소 손실로 미루어 볼 때, 과잉공기비가 1.3이 사용되었을 때 연소 반응이 가장 안정적이었다.

연료전지를 선박에 적용하는 연구를 위해서는 연료전지 특성을 고려한 전력 시스템 설계 및 부하 제어에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 하지만 연료전지를 직접 실험하기 위해서는 여러 보조기기들과 복잡한 제어 기술이 필요하다. 이러한 이유로 연료전지 시뮬레이터가 필요하며, 이를 위한 연구가 활발히 진행중이다. 본 논문에서는 자동차, 소형 선박 등에 적용되고 있는 PEMFC에 관하여 LabVIEW를 기반으로 시뮬레이션 하였다. 또한 이러한 시뮬레이션 데이터를 바탕으로 프로그램이 가능한 전력공급장치를 이용하여 시뮬레이터를 제작하여 연료전지의 특성을 구현하였다. 이를 통해 연료전지의 분극화 곡선과 변수에 따른 I-V특성을 확인할 수 있었다.

The aims of this research were to evaluate effects of biomass co-firing to pulverized coal power plants and the variation of co-firing ratios on the plant efficiency related to power consumption of auxiliary system and flue gas characteristics such as production and component by process simulation based on the existing pulverized coal power plant. In this study, four kinds of biomass are selected as renewable fuel candidates for co-firing: wood pellet(WP), palm kernel shell(PKS), empty fruit bunch(EFB) and walnut shell(WS). Process simulation for various biomass fuels and co-firing ratios was performed using a commercial software. Gas side including combustion system and flue gas treatment system was considering with combination of water and steam side which contains turbines, condenser, feed water heaters and pumps. As a result, walnut shell might be the most suitable as co-firing fuel among four biomass since when 10% of walnut shell was co-fired with 90% of coal on thermal basis, flue gas production and power consumption of auxiliary systems were the smallest than those of other biomass co-firing while net plant efficiency was relatively higher than those of other biomass co-firing. However, with increasing walnut shell co-firing ratios, boiler efficiency and net plant efficiency were expected to decrease rather than coal combustion without biomass co-firing.

In this paper, a study on the noise reduction in a mobile fuel cell system is presented. Among various fuel cell systems around 20W capacities designed for mobile electronic devices, the active direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) systems have been recently developed. In such systems, the primary noise source is the air pump which provides sufficient air flow ($5{\sim}6$ liter/min) for electrochemical reaction with methanol fuel while the noise contributions from other auxiliary parts are relatively small. Especially, the discrete noise tones generated by the air pump are dominant and those frequency peaks related to the rotor harmonics are needed to be suppressed by a silencer. Therefore. the Herschel/Quinke (HQ) tubes, which use the out-of-phase cancellation of acoustic waves propagating through direct and indirect pathways, are applied to the inlet of the air pump. Performance of noise reduction with HQ silencer is analytically estimated by calculating the transmission. The length and number of thin HQ tubes are optimized to decrease the radiated noise. As a result, the sound pressure level could be successfully reduced by about 10 dB after applying three serially connected HQ tubes.

The nickel oxide, the most widely used cathode material for the molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), has several disadvantages including NiO dissolution, poor mechanical strength, and corrosion phenomena during MCFC operation. The surface modification of NiO with lanthanum maintains the advantages, such as performance and stability, and suppresses the disadvantages of NiO cathode because the modification results in the formation of $LaNiO_3$ phase which has high conductivity, stability, and catalytic activity. As a result, La-modified NiO cathode shows low NiO dissolution, high degree of lithiation, and mechanical strength, and high cell performance and catalytic activity in comparison with the pristine NiO. These enhanced physico-chemical and electrochemical properties and the durability in marine environment allow MCFC to marine application as a auxiliary propulsion system.

The fuel cell, a renewable energy facility, hasn t come into wide use to the public. However, the usefulness of it is so high through Supply Business called Green Home, general auxiliary Supply Business, obligation to supply renewable energy for public organizations, Building Certification System and compulsory quota of using renewable energy to power generating businesses, etc. Intial installation was supported by government and a local autonomous entities in case of home fuel cell. Cost-benefits of installing it in home are approximately from $1,000 to $2,500. As Korea applies a progressive tax scheme in home electricity, energy costs are associated with electricity consumption. We should contemplate ways to make effective use of additional waste heat because technology of fuel cell is kind of a cogeneration.

We consider the optimum air flow channel design for DMFC's in the present study. The effect of pressure drop across the inlet and outlet of a stack on the performance of a DMFC is the optimization of such geometric parameters is crucial to minimize the parasitic power usage by the auxiliary devices such as fuel pumps and blowers. In this paper, we present how the pressure drop control can optimize the driving point of a DMFC stack. Further, we show how the optimal fuel utilization ratio can be achieved, not degrading the performance of DMFC stacks. Overall, we discuss how the flow channel design affects the selection of balance of plant(BOP) components, the design of DMFC systems and the system efficiency.

Recently, a fuel cell with low voltage and high current of electronic output characteristics is remarkable for new generation system. It needs both a dc-dc boost converter and do-ac inverter to be used in domestic power. Therefore, this paper presents do-dc boost converter with ZVS for fuel cell generation system This topology has several advantages, which are ZVS characteristics of all of main and auxiliary switches, reduction of reactor component size because of high frequency switching, and low rated voltage stress of the switches. In this paper, theoretical analysis, operation principle, and design procedures are presented. And simulation results from Pspice are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.
