With the recent growing interest in eco-friendly cars, as interest in eco-friendly cars increases, interest and purchase of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that do not emit pollutants are increasing. Recently, the government is supporting the expansion of hydrogen charging station and localization of core parts according to the government's hydrogen energy dissemination policy. In this study, the flow characteristics of the hydrogen flow control valve were investigated. As the differential pressure increases, the mass flow rate and flow coefficient tend to be different from the volume flow rate. And it was confirmed that it affects the hydrogen temperature due to the nozzle effect in the bottleneck section, and the change in density affects the mass flow rate.

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.

Recently, hydrogen has gained considerable attention as an eco-friendly fuel, which helps in reducing carbon dioxide content. Specifically, there is a growing interest in vehicles powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, which is spotlighted as an environmental-friendly alternative. A hydrogen transport system, fuel cell system, fuel supply system, power management system, and hydrogen storage system are key parts of a hydrogen fuel cell truck. In this study, a hydrogen storage system is built and analyzed. The expansion length of the storage vessel at maximum operating pressure (87.5 MPa) was calculated with ABAQUS, and then the optimized system was designed and built. The leak and bubble tests were performed on the built storage system. The leakage of the system was measured to be under 5 cc/hr. Hence, it can be used as a research test for the safety evaluation of leading systems of hydrogen fuel-powered commercial vehicles.

With the current global need for eco-friendly energies, the large scale use of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is predicted. However, the need to frequently charge EVs to an electrical power system involves risks such as rapid increase of demand power. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a practical smart EV charging scheme considering a Time-of-Use (ToU) price to prevent the rapid increase of demand power and provide load leveling function. For a more practical analysis, we conduct simulations based on the actual distribution system and driving patterns in the Republic of Korea. Results show that the proposed method provides a proper load leveling function while preventing a rapid increase of demand power of the system.

Noise and vibration pollution is emerging to people in high speed trains. And it is difficult to realization of eco-friendly railway system at noise problem. The railway internal noise is 73dB on average and over 80dB in the loudest section. In order to reduce noise, there are passive methods that are far from noise sources and theother active noise reducion method. In this paper, we propose a method of reduce noise by measure and estimate the noise condition of train environment using Bone-Conduction device. We use an anti-phase waveform for canceling of noise characteristic. With this new system, the noise from surrounding environments can be reduced.

Recently, the railway has been growing as the eco-friendly transport which is excellent for reducing carbon dioxide. However, the level of using tools to quantitatively and objectively evaluate the environmental performance is still low in the rail industry. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce Environmental Product Declaration(EPD) which describes the environmental performance by using Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) for evaluating the environmental impacts through entire life cycle of a product. The EPD enables stakeholders including policy makers, operation body, vehicle manufacturers and drivers and consumers to be informed about the superior environmental performance of rail vehicles.

This study evaluates the strength of surface treatment parts using the hard anodizing method to the aluminum alloy brake disks. In order to achieve weight reduction of vehicles, Eco-friendly cars parts of the high-quality and competitive price is to equip. Especially while pursuing parts of weight reduction, it has to maintain the strength of the surface of the brake by nature. To enhance surface strength of aluminum alloy, we use hard anodizing technology in the surface treatment. This study is resulted of 3 times greater the hardness value of the hard anodized specimen than the aluminum alloy specimen for the lightweight parts of EV brake disk

HCNG engine is performed as a future engine because of high combustion efficiency and eco-friendly property, and is predicted to a brdge of hydrogen vehicles. As EURO-6 regulagion is due to be applied in 2014, consolidated regulations of methane gas that is exhausted from CNG and HCNG vehicles will come into effect. In this studies, methane oxidation catalyst is introduced to remove methane gas from HCNG emissions. Methane oxidation efficiency on catalyst was studied when it is driven long time. And characterization like metal dispersion, surface area was performed to investigate the correlation of catalyst efficiency and characteristics.
