This paper is to study on the step-up DC-DC converter for power system which yields output characteristics of low voltage and high current, such as fuel cell generation system. DC-AC-DC scheme is suggested for high ratio of voltage conversion. Three phase MOSFET-SPWM inverter is adopted for intermediate AC conversion and inverter output frequency is chosen at 400[Hz] in order to reduce the size of magnetic circuit and DC filter. Since control strategy which combines voltage controller with current controller in parallel is used, good output performance is obtained both in steady state and in transient state like load variation, not only in single unit operation but also in parallel operation.

Automotive inverters may require current sensors for motor torque control, especially, in applications of hybrid electric vehicles or fuel cell vehicles. In this paper, to achieve a compact, integrated and low cost current sensor, a hall current sensor without magnetic core is introduced for integrating an automotive inverter. The compactness of the current sensor is possible by using integrated magnetic concentrators based on the Hall effect. Magnetic fields caused by three-phase currents are analyzed and a magnetic shield design is proposed for decoupling the cross-coupled field. It offers galvanic isolation, wide bandwidth (>100kHz), and accuracy(< 1%). Using 2D FEM analysis, its performance is demonstrated with design parameters at a U-shaped magnetic shield. The proposed coreless current sensor is tested with rated current to validate the linearity and accuracy.

연료전지가 동작할 때에는 공기공급을 위한 압축기가 동작하게 되는데 공기의 유량에 따라 연료전지의 출력전력이 달라진다. 또한 공기의 유량에 따라 압축기에서 소비하는 전력이 달라지기 때문에 공기 유량에 따른 연료전지의 최대 효율점이 존재하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 연료전지의 출력전력에서 압축기의 손실전력을 제외한 순수 파워를 최대로 낼 수 있는 유량을 추적 제어하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

연료전지는 매우 늦은 응답속도를 가지므로 부하 증가시 Li-Ion 배터리나 슈퍼 커패시터 같은 별도의 에너지 저장장치로부터 필요한 전류를 공급받도록 구성되는데 이들 사이에서 전력전달을 위해 DC-DC 컨버터가 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 상태평균화 기법과 PWM 스위치 모델을 사용하여 DC-DC 컨버터를 해석하고 시뮬레이션 하였다. 또한 배터리 등가회로를 구성해서 배터리 등가 임피던스를 고려한 이중루프 제어기를 설계하고 정전류/정전압 충전모드 시뮬레이션을 통해 효과를 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 연료전지 스택진단용 양방향 컨버터의 설계 및 제어기법을 제안한다. 스택진단용 컨버터는 교류전류 제어를 위한 양방향 DC/DC 컨버터를 사용하였으며 컨버터의 전류를 교류로 제어하기 위한 전류 제어기법이 요구된다. 정확한 전류 제어를 위해 d-q 변환을 통해 전류 제어를 수행하였다. 본 논문에서 사용한 제어기법을 통해 넓은 입력전압 범위에서도 충전, 방전으로 연료전지에 교류 전류를 공급하여 연료전지의 전압 변화를 확인함으로써 연료전지 스택의 상태를 진단할 수 있다. 제안하는 컨버터의 제어기법에 대한 타당성은 PSIM 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였으며 1.5kW급 스택진단용 양방향 DC/DC 컨버터의 설계 기법을 제안하였다.

In this study, yeast cell immobilization was carried out in a packed bed reactor (PBR) to investigate the effects of the volumetric capacity of carriers as well as the different fermentation modes on fuel ethanol production. An optimal volumetric capacity of 10 g/l was found to obtain a high cell concentration. The productivity of immobilized cell fermentation was 16% higher than that of suspended-cell fermentation in batch and it reached a higher value of 4.28 g/l/h in repeated batches. Additionally, using this method, the ethanol yield (95.88%) was found to be higher than that of other tested methods due to low concentrations of residual sugars and free cells. Continuous ethanol production using four bioreactors showed a higher productivity (9.57 g/l/h) and yield (96.96%) with an ethanol concentration of 104.65 g/l obtained from 219.42 g/l of initial total sugar at a dilution rate of 0.092 h^-1. Furthermore, we reversed the substrate-feed flow directions in the in-series bioreactors to keep the cells at their highest activity and to extend the length of continuous fermentation. Our study demonstrates an effective method of ethanol production with a new immobilized approach, and that by switching the flow directions, traditional continuous fermentation can be greatly improved, which could have practical and broad implications in industrial applications.

As well as the advanced development of modern society, and the environmental problems caused by the use of fossil fuels is emerging. So do not reap the performance level of the car to be able to replace existing fossil fuel and low-emission energy and technology development are continually strives. Therefore, this study aims to present the direction of the new interface 21st century Mobile Auto Electric Segway technology in the field of security and disadvantages based. The Segway is a problem because the control itself skewed by certain slope where the slope in the wrong adjustment tipping. In this study, the year saw the introduction of two pressure sensors(Load cell) used to solve these drawbacks, according to the ratio of the weight control methods. In addition, the ramps operate in a straightforward, using an acceleration sensor and a gyro sensor in order to compensate for the slope value in free control method to study looked. Measured by calculating the value of the occupant's weight and according to the inclination of the pressure sensor pressure sensing experiment results this year, we can see that the control variable for the change in body weight is greater than the inclination. Segway is also easy to control, and the stability of the ramps, etc. As a result, created using a pressure sensor.

The effects of the type of curing agent on the swelling of the natural rubber(NR) sponge applicable to the self-sealing layer of a helicopter fuel tank were investigated. The curing systems employed were peroxide and mixed ones of sulfur and peroxide. The NR compounds were prepared in a kneader and a roll-mill. The compounds were partially cured in a press at high pressure and subsequently cured fully with expansion in another press at atmospheric pressure. The apparent density of the NR sponge was measured and the cell structure was observed with scanning electron microscopy. The swelling experiments were performed at room temperature using toluene, iso-octane, and an aircraft fuel as a solvent. More rapid volume swelling of the NR sponge cured by peroxide was achieved than cured by sulfur and peroxide with similar amount of curing agent added in rubber compounds. The apparent density and cell structure of the sponge were extremely sensitive to the amount of peroxide, which influences again the swelling behavior of the NR sponge. It is important to control properly two reactions of decomposition of foaming agent and crosslinking of NR in the mold to obtain rapid swelling of the NR sponge on contact of the fuel.
