Since the government announced the roadmap to revitalize the hydrogen economy, we are constantly making the effort to expand the use of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) and hydrogen charging stations. There is however a significant issue to build and operate the hydrogen charging station due to the lack of the profit model. Many researchers believe that the supply of FCEV will be increased in the near future and finally ensure the economy of hydrogen charging stations. This study shows that the sales changes of hydrogen gas and consumption patterns by the operation of the hydrogen charging station in Changwon City. The results will be used as the evidence to support for operating the hydrogen charging station by private businesses and the validity of additional establishment of hydrogen charging stations.

As the supply of xEV in Korea is rapidly increasing, the amount of waste batteries is expected to increase rapidly, but the current recycling system for waste xEV batteries is very insufficient. In order to properly utilize the xEV reusable battery module, it is essential to classify it into a type that has similar discharge characteristics to the current state of health(SOH), which is the discharge capacity of the battery. This paper proposes a system that can minimize the exchange of energy with the KEPCO system by using the charging/discharging method by circulating power between batteries in order to minimize the power consumption when charging and discharging waste batteries. In the proposed system, a function to measure parameters during the charging/discharging test of the waste battery was implemented to build a customized big date for the test waste battery. In addition, the dynamic characteristics of the proposed circuit were analyzed using PSIM, which is useful for power electronics analysis, and the validity of the proposed circuit was verified through experiments.

Electric vehicles, which are attracting attention as eco-friendly vehicles, have been increasing in number since 2011 in Korea. The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficient operation of existing charging stations and factors to consider when installing additional charging stations based on the case of Jeju Island where the electric vehicle penetration rate is high and the charging infrastructure is relatively well established. The characteristics of using electric car charging stations by region, type of facility, and time of day are analyzed. As a result of analyzing the frequency of using the charger installed in Jeju Island, the utilization of both the fast charger and the slow charger is found to be concentrated in a specific area. The usage rate of charger installed in a business facility and a public parking lot is high in both fast charger and slow charger. However, according to the usage rate by time of day, the fast charger has a high utilization rate throughout the afternoon, while the use of a slow charger is concentrated in the morning. In order to enable users to utilize the electric vehicle charging station efficiently, it is necessary to provide a publicity guide for the charging station having a low utilization rate, a notice for using the charger, and a notification of completion of charging. Considering the charging demand, the area where the charger is not yet installed should be considered as the area to install the charger, and in addition, the additional installation should be considered in the area and the facility where the amount of charge is large. Service improvement is expected to be possible by utilizing actual electric vehicle charging behavior analysis result.

Manual type manifold gauge has been used for charging the refrigerant in the refrigeration systems. In this case, the refrigerant is released to the ambient during the hose-switching period. :he objectives of this study are to develop a novel automatic refrigerant charging system, and to quantify the effect of the automatic systems on the reduction of the non-condensable gas and the contamination of the compressor oil. The automatic charging system makes the pressure test, vacuum test, and refrigerant charging work very simple and easy because the charging hose does not have to be switched many times. It is found that the amount of water in the SiO$_2$and the compressor oil reduces to l/4 times of that for the manual type manifold gauge and the refrigerant is not released to the ambient at all when the automatic charging system is adopted.

Recently, a policy has been enforced to supply Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) but this may require reinforcement of the power system depending on its clustering because PEVs are charged directly from power systems. On the other hand, as the reinforcement of power system is limited by time and budget, it is important to supply the charging demand of PEVs efficiently using the existing power systems to increase the diffusion of PEVs. This paper establishes a charging schedule for Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) considering the power system constraints. For this, the required amount and time of the charging demand for an individual PEV was modeled to integrate into power systems based on the driving pattern and charging tariff of PEV. Furthermore, the charging schedule of PEVs was established to meet the power system constraints by calculating the operating conditions of the power systems with PEVs.

Residual gas acts as a diluent which results in reducing the in-cylinder temperature as well as the flame speed, significantly affecting fuel economy, NOx emissions and combustion stability. Therefore it is important to determine the residual gas fraction as a function of the engine operating parameters accurately. However, the determination of the residual gas fraction is very sophisticated due to the unsteady state of induction and exhaust process. There has been little work toward the development of a generally applicable model for quantitative predictions of residual gas fraction. In this paper, a simple model for calculating the residual gas fraction in SI engines was suggested. The amount of fresh air was evaluated through AFR and fuel consumption. After this, from the intake temperature and pressure, the amount of total cylinder-charging gas was estimated. The residual gas fraction was derived by comparing the total charging and fresh air. This results coincide with measured EGR value very well.

This study presents the hydrogen emblittlement in the metal, which decreases the ductility and then induces the brittle fracture. The contribution deals with the effect of strain rate and notch geometry on hydrogen emblittlement of 1.25Cr-0.5Mo and 2.25Cr-1Mo steels, which are in use at high pressure vessel. Smooth and notched specimens were examined to obtain the elongation and tensile strength. For charging the hydrogen in the metal, the cathodic electrolytic method was used. In this process, current density is maintained constant. The amount of hydrogen penetrated in the specimen was detected by the hydrogen determenator(LECO RH404) with the various charging time. The distribution of hydrogen concentration penetrated in the specimen was obtained by finite element analysis. The amount of hydrogen is high in smooth specimen and tends to concentrate in the vicinity of surface. The elongation and tensile strength decreased with the passage of charging time in 1.25Cr-0.5Mo and 2.25Cr-1Mo steels. The elongation increased and tensile strength decreased as strain rate increased. As a result of this study, it is supposed that 1.25Cr-0.5Mo steel is more sensitive than 2.25Cr-lMo steel in hydrogen embrittlement. Hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of notched specimen after hydrogen charging is more remarkable than that of smooth specimen.

Securing energy sources is a key element essential to economic and industrial development in modern society, and research on renewable energy and hydrogen energy is now actively carried out. This research was conducted through experiments and analytical methods on the hydrogen filling process in the hydrogen storage tank of the hydrogen charging station. When low-temperature, high-pressure hydrogen was injected into a high-pressure tanks where hydrogen is charged, the theoretical method was used to analyze the changes in temperature and pressure inside the high-pressure tanks, the amount of hydrogen charge, and the charging time. The analysis was conducted in the initial vacuum state, called the First Cycle, and when the residual pressure was present inside the tanks, called the Second Cycle. As a result of the analysis, the highest temperature inside the tanks in the First Cycle of the high-pressure tank increased to 442.11 K, the temperature measured through the experiment was 441.77 K, the Second Cycle increased to 397.12 K, and the temperature measured through the experiment was 398 K. The results obtained through experimentation and analysis differ within ±1%. The results of this study will be useful for future hydrogen energy research and hydrogen charging station.

In this method the condenser excite winding has the phase angle of 90 electrical degree, with the load winding in stator. The condenser excite wing is connected with the condenser while the load winding is with the full rectifer. Direct and quardrature axis components of rotating field winding are composed, of balanced two phase winding, and each one of them is connected with half wave rectifiers. Initically, small amount of lead current can be induced at the condenser excite winding by residual magnetism of rotor. The induced lead current forces the rotating field winding to be excited by synchronous alternating magnetic field. The speed electromotive force, there for, induced in rotating field winding shall electro magnetize the rotating field pole by rotating half wave rectifiers. In the case of the charging generator directly coupled with engines at the operation of wide range speed, the generated region, such as vehicles, aircraft, ships etc, is occured. In conclusion, we can take the advantage of, omitting of voltage regurator and current limiter for charging load and reducing the consumption of fuel using the generated region which can be devided in to Impossible generated region, Generated region, and suspension generated region.
