  • In this paper, a hybrid photovoltaic fuel-cell generation system employing an electrolyzer for hydrogen generation and battery for storage purpose is designed and simulated. The system is applicable for remote areas or isolated DC loads. Control strategy has been considered to achieve permanent power supply to the load via the photovoltaic/battery or the fuel cell based on the power available from the sun. MATLAB and SIMULINK have been used for the simulation work. A sensitivity analysis is conducted for various load level based on availability of solar radiation.

  • The driving pattern was studied in Seoul along nineteen representative routes using a test car equipped with all the instruments required for recording traffic flow and measuring fuel consumption. Speed histories, gear shift points, instantaneous fuel consumption rates, etc. were recorded and the data were anlyzed to determine the traffic characteristics for Seoul. The Seoul-14 Mode has been developed to simulated actual driving conditions in Seoul with respect to fuel consumption. The average speed of the Seoul-14 Mode is 30.1 Km/h and the Mode length is 11.94 Km.

  • The characteristics of dry and wet milled powder prepared by 1 cycle OREOX (oxidation and reduction of oxide fuels) treatment were investigated using the simulated spent fuel pellet. Sintered pellets simulating spent nuclear fuel burned in reactor were fabricated from $UO_2$ powder using as a starting material in fabrication of nuclear fuel. The 1 cycle OREOX-treated powder was prepared by only one path of oxidation md reduction of the simulated pellet. Powder having average particle size of less than 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ could be easily obtained by dry milling, but not be achieved by wet milling. And, specific surface area of dry milled pow-der was higher than that of wet milled powder. Dry milled powder formed loose agglomerate, while wet milled powder showed the shape of irregular and angular particles. Dry milled powder provided higher green density, resulting in higher sintered density of higher than 95% TD and average grain size of larger than 8 $\mu\textrm{m}$ satisfying the standard specification of sintered pellets.

  • A fuel-cell power system among various alternative power sources has many advantages such as comparatively independable circumstances, high-efficient, and heat-recyclable, thus it is now able to be up to hundreds MWh-scaled through improving feasibility and longevity of it. During the last few decades, numerous research results has been investigated to expand interest in fuel-cell technology. This study presents pressure distribution on the geometrical manifold structures, which are U-type and Z-type, of a planar-type fuel-cell stack by simulated with computational fluid dynamics(CFD). Then, electrical performance of a 200W fuel-cell stack, which is U-type, was diagnosed after pre-conditioning operation. The stack has electrical characteristics ; 22V, 10A, 220W, and current density $200mA/cm^2$.

  • FuelCell/Battery hybrid power systems were studied to develop high efficient zero-emission fuel cell electric vehicles. Fuel cells were used as an auxiliary energy source and batteries were used as a transient power source. The fuel cell system is used to supply the average power demand. Dynamic response of the hybrid systems was simulated using PSPICE program and also tested experimentally. The results can be used to design the interface module and to determine the power requirement between the fuel cell unit and the battery pack.
