The Fuel cell Rubber tired Train (FRT), which is now getting the attention as the next generation vehicle with its environment-friendliness, is the transportation for smooth connections of city traffic. It is the revival of the surface-car system with its revaluation of the function and technological development. Accordingly, fixed time operation and high speed driving became possible. FRT is operated together with other vehicles on the regular drive way. While this vehicle can solve the problem of traffic congestion in the urban area, it also can be cost-effective when it is compared to the cost of subway construction. It is also designed to minimize the underground or elevated traffic lane, to introduce the new construction technology, to reduce a term of works, and to cut down the operation cost by unmanned automatic driving system. Furthermore, it is considered as the alternative measure of other transportation due to its potential for the ecological way of speed improvement and the accessability to the disabled, elderly and children by developing the vehicle with folding steps or by building the high boarding platforms. In this research, I concentrated on the user oriented interior design of the FRT to make it passenger-friendly and safe in order to maximize the utilization of the vehicle so that all users including wheelchaired, user with baby carriage, elderly and children can conveniently use this vehicle.

As the hydrogen era comes near future, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are core of hydrogen economy. Until now, Korea has 17 hydrogen refueling stations but 9 hydrogen refueling stations have been retired already and 8 hydrogen refueling stations are still running. With a limited number of hydrogen refueling stations, it is very difficult to get scientific data for the economy of hydrogen refueling stations in Korea. Thus, based on NREL(National Renewable Energy Laboratory) study, we analyzed most recent data for the construction of hydrogen refueling stations in one specific site in Korea. The cost comparison data between Korea and USA shows 14% difference, saying higher costs of Korea. Korea looks 5 years delay compared to USA. This data will be an important tool for the investment from every industrial parties.

During last years, hydrogen refueling infrastructure test and devices research for hydrogen station presented a significant growth consisting of the commercialization of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). However, we still have many challenges for making commercial hydrogen stations such as increased safety and cost reduction. This study demonstrates the low cost hydrogen storage tank (type 2) and effective winding method for high pressure hydrogen storage. We use numerical analysis to verify stress changes inside the wire according to the winding condition. Also liner size, winding wire size and wire tension were studied for the safety and cost down. Results show that the stress of winding wire decreased with increased winding angle and increased the liner diameter. On the other hand, the stress of winding wire increased according to the increased wire thickness and tension.

This study analyzes pressure distribution and pressure drop in the receptacle used in charging system of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The objective is to minimize receptacle-induced pressure drop by redesigning internal flow channels. Through numerical simulations, three receptacle variants are compared with a baseline case. Results show reduced pressure drop in the filter section. However, the check valve section exhibits higher pressure drop, requiring further improvement. By increasing throat diameter, pressure drop is decreased by 28% between inlet and outlet of the receptacle. This study shows the relationship between dynamic pressure and pressure drop, providing a guideline for receptacle performance optimization. The redesigned receptacle offers potential for enhancing hydrogen charging efficiency.

이동용 고분자전해질 연료전지(PEMFC)의 수소발생용으로써 NaBH₄는 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 야외에서 PEMFC가 이송형으로 사용될 때 증류수대신 담수를 이용해 NaBH₄ 가수분해하면 경제적이다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 NaBH₄ 가수분해 과정에 증류수대신 담수를 이용해 수소를 발생시켰다. 활성탄 담지 Co-P-B/C 촉매를 사용해 NaBH₄ 가수분해 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 담수는 NaBH₄ 가수분해과정에서 4수화물을 발생시키지 않았고, 증류수는 4수화물 부산물이 생성되어 가수분해과정에서 많은 물이 소모되어서 NaBH₄ 25% 이상 고농도에서 반응 종료시점에는 건조한 부산물과 미반응 NaBH₄가 남았음을 확인하였다. 이 결과 담수를 사용했을 때 NaBH₄ 25% 이상 고농도에서 증류수보다 수소 수율과 수소발생속도가 더 높아 무인항공기등 이송형 연료전지에도 적용하기에 적합함을 보였다.

지구온난화로 인한 이상기후로 전 세계적 피해가 커지고 있는 가운데, 내연기관의 온실가스 배출을 줄이기 위하여, 친환경자동차 도입이 가속화되고 있다. 이에 각국에서는 수소연료자동차의 안전성 확보를 위해 터널이나 지하주차장과 같은 반밀폐공간에서 수소 연료 폭발에 대비한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 반밀폐공간이라 할 수 있는 지하주차장을 대상으로 수소탱크의 폭발을 등가 TNT 모델을 적용하여 폭발압력을 예측하고 이 값을 폭발압력에 따른 피해범위 및 영향을 분석하였다. 등가 TNT 모델을 적용한 수소탱크 폭발압력 예측 결과 수소용량이 52 Liter인 경우를 기준으로 75 Liter, 156 Liter인 경우 1.5 m 높이에서 각각 약 1.12배, 2.30배 높은 것으로 나타났다. 예측된 최대폭발압력을 충격량으로 환산하여 인체 및 건물에 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과 모든 예측값이 폐 손상 또는 심각한 부분 파괴가 발생할 것으로 예측 되었으며, 예측된 피해정도는 폭발에 따른 충격량만으로 환산 적용한 것이며, 폭발에 따른 부가적인 피해를 고려한다면 실제 피해는 더욱 증가되어 이에 대한 안전 및 방재의 대책이 강구되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Fuel cell (FC) is a promising power supply in electric vehicles (EV); however, it has poor dynamic performance and short service life. To address these shortcomings, a super capacitor (SC) is adopted as an auxiliary power supply. In this study, the frequency decoupling control method is used in electric vehicle energy system. High-frequency and low-frequency demand power is provided by SC and FC, respectively, which makes full use of two power supplies. Simultaneously, the energy system still has rapidity and reliability. The distributed power system (DPS) of EV requires DC-DC converters to achieve the desired voltage. The stability of cascaded converters must be assessed. Impedance-based methods are effective in the stability analysis of DPS. In this study, closed-loop impedances of interleaved half-bridge DC-DC converter and phase-shifted full-bridge DC-DC converter based on the frequency decoupling control method are derived. The closed-loop impedance of an inverter for permanent magnet synchronous motor based on space vector modulation control method is also derived. An improved Middlebrook criterion is used to assess and adjust the stability of the energy system. A theoretical analysis and simulation test are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the energy management system and the control method.

태양광 시스템이나 연료전지 시스템 그리고 전기자동차에 많이 사용되는 DC-DC 컨버터는 부스트 컨버터이다. 이러한 부스트 컨버터를 병렬로 연결하고 위상차를 두고 동작하여 입출력 전류리플을 줄이는 인터리브드 부스트 컨버터가 최근에 많이 사용되고 있다. 이 회로는 입출력 전류 리플이 작기 때문에 입출력 커패시터의 크기를 줄일 수 있다. 따라서 기존의 전해 커패시터를 신뢰성이 우수한 필름 커패시터로 교체할 수 있고 이는 전체 시스템의 수명 및 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다단 인터리브드 부스트 컨버터에 사용되는 출력 커패시터의 전류리플 수식을 유도하고 듀티에 따른 특성을 알아본다. 이를 확인하기 위해서 PSIM 툴을 이용하여 계산된 값과 비교를 할 것이다.

Design study on the Gas Turbine High Temperature Reactor 300-Cogeneration (GTHTR300C) aiming at producing both electricity by a gas turbine and hydrogen by a thermochemical water splitting method (IS process method) has been conducted. It is expected to be one of the most attractive systems to provide hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles after 2030. The GTHTR300C employs a block type Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) with thermal power of 600MW and outlet coolant temperature of $950^{\circ}C$. The intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) and the gas turbine are arranged in series in the primary circuit. The IHX transfers the heat of 170MW to the secondary system used for hydrogen production. The balance of the reactor thermal power is used for electricity generation. The GTHTR300C is designed based on the existing technologies of the High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) and helium turbine power conversion and on the technologies whose development have been well under way for IS hydrogen production process so as to minimize cost and risk of deployment. This paper describes the original design features focusing on the plant layout and plant cycle of the GTHTR300C together with present development status of the GTHTR300, IHX, etc. Also, the advantage of the GTHTR300C is presented.
