In this paper, the parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack for easy capacity enlargement series in the medium power capacity inverter system of the 660V voltage class is described. The parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack for 1.5MVA medium power inverter system's design is applied. The results of the parallel operation are described in this paper. The designed stack capacity for parallel operation is 800kVA class. For 1.5MVA inverter system, the 800kVA stack is applied with 2 parallel configurations. The 800kVA stack is designed with 3 parallel configurations of the IGBT Module. In this paper, the feasibility for easy capacity enlargement series in the medium power inverter by applying the parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack is verified. The experimental results show the good characteristics for the parallel operation of the IGBT and power stack.

스택의 디자인과 운전조건을 최적화하여 PEMFC stack의 성능을 상당히 증진시킬수 있다. 그러한 결과로, 500시간의 DSS(Daily Start-up & Shutdown) 누적 운전후에 일별 운전성능은 조금의 편차가 있었지만 (0.02-0.9%), 스택의 성능은 거의 변화가 없음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 PEMFC 시스템의 상용화를 위해서는 스택의 수명 및 운전의 신뢰성을 향상시켜야 한다.

A Dead-end mode operation is one of the best way to maximize the gas usage rate. But, some components of fuel cell stack like gas diffusion layer(GDL) or membrane can be damaged in dead-end mode operation. In this study, a Large Scale Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) for a dead-end operation has been developed. The stack is composed with 4 cells which has over 400cm2 of active area. Hydrogen is used as a fuel, and oxygen is used as a oxidant. The dead-end operation performance was evaluated by a long-term dead-end mode operation. The fuel cell stack is operated over 1,500 hours in dead-end mode operating fuel cell test station. And the performance change of the fuel cell stack was investigated.

As a part of the ongoing effort towards commercial application of high-temperature fuel cell power generation systems, we have recently built a pilot-scale molten carbonate fuel cell power plant and tested it. The stack test system is composed of diverse peripheral units such as reformer, pre-heater, water purifier, electrical loader, gas supplier, and recycling systems. The stack itself was made of 40cells of $6000cm^2$ area each. The stack showed an output higher than 25kW power and a reliable performance at atmospheric operation. A pressurized performance was also tested, and it turned out the cell performance increased though a few cells have shown a symptom of gas crossover. The pressurized operation characteristics could be analyzed with numerical computation results of a stack model.

Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) with high electrical efficiency and low environmental effect has been developed for the commercial application of power generation fields. Recently we have built a 25 kW molten carbonate fuel cell power generation system and tested it. The MCFC system is composed of diverse peripheral units such as reformer, pre-heater, water purifier. electrical loader, gas supplier, and recycling systems. The stack itself was made of 40 cells of $6.000 cm^2$ area each. The stack showed an output of 28.6 kW power and a reliable performance at atmospheric operation. while in pressurized operation the stack showed an output 25.6 kW lower than the atmospheric operation. The reason of lower performance of pressurized operation was caused from a gas cross over shown in few cells in the stack.

A 75kW MCFC stack with the reactive area of 9,600cm$^2$ has been operated and validated in Boryeong thermal power plant. The 75kW MCFC stack was installed at the end of November 28, 2008 and started initial operation on December 23, 2008 after pretreated for about 20 days. At initial load operation, the stack showed the Open Circuit Voltage of 137V, which approaches the theoretical value. At the early stage of rated power operation, the stack displayed the voltage of 104V at the current of 754A and reached the maximum generating power of 78.5kW DC. This stack has been operated for 2,890 hours until April, 2009. In addition, the operation time of rated power records 1890 hours. This Operating result is scheduled to be reflected the design of l25kW stack.

MCFC 발전 기술의 실용화를 위하여 $3,000cm^2$ 면적의 단위전지 20장으로 구성된 5 kW 급 MCFC 스택을 5,760 시간 동안 운전하여 그 운전특성을 파악하였다. 스택은 7.6 kW의 출력을 보여주어 설계치보다 높은 출력을 보여주었다. 아울러 스택 성능 및 스택내 운전온도 분포변화를 해석하기 위하여 열전달, 유동방정식 및 연료전지 반응특성을 고려한 수학적 모델을 완성하였다. 완성된 수학적 모델 전산 모사를 위하여 상용 CFD 코드를 이용한 프로그램을 개발하였고 개발된 스택 전산모사 코드는 실제 운전된 5 kW MCFC 스택 운전 자료와 이론적 계산결과와 비교하여 그 신뢰성을 확인하였다.

차세대의 새로운 발전방식인 용융탄산염형 연료전지 시스템개발 사업중 실용 스택개발을 위하여 전극유효연적이 $100cm^2$ 인 단위전지를 10단 적층한 Cross Flow형 MCFC스택을 제작하고 2성능측정설비를 구성하여 장기운전시험을 실시하였다 연료로는 $H_2/CO_2/H_2O$의 비율을 72%/18%/10% 로 조성한 가스를 이용하고 산화제가스로는 $O_2/CO_2$ 및 $Air/CO_2$ 비율이 33%/67%, 70%/30%가 되는 가스를 이용하여 운전할때의 초기성능 및 15A($150mA/cm^2$) 정부하 상태에서의 장기운전시험시의 전압 강하율을 조사하였다. 운전시간 310시간이 경과된 후의 스택전압은 8.39V이었고 이때의 출력은 125.8W를 보여주었다. 한편 1845시간이 경과한후 공기를 산화제로 이용하는 경우 전압은 6.95V로서 출력 104W를 나타내고 있다. 초기성능치에 의한 에너지 변환효율은 이용율이 40%인 경우 29.65%이었고 80%로 증가하는 경우 약 51.5%가 된다. 1840시간의 경과한때 까지의 전압 강하율은 약 52.4mV/1000hr로서 이전의 스택보다는 전압강하율이 감소되고 있으며 스택의 성능 저하의 주요한 요인은 개회로 전압의 저하로 내부단락동에서 기인하는 것으로 여겨진다. 또한 장기운전사 스택내부에서의 단위전지 전압분포가 균일하지 않음을 알 수 있어 이에 대한 개선을 필요로 한다.

In automotive applicatons or water vehicles, the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) stack is keep moving while their operation. Especially the inclination environment can take a effect to fuel cell stack perfromance, because this condition can cause a bad effect to water exhaust of fuel cell stack. In this study, a large scale stack(over 100kW power) is inclined upto 30 degree in lengthwise and crosswise using stack lift equipment. And the stack is operated in 10~100% load. No significant change has appeared in crosswise inclined condition and lenthwise low angle. But in lenthwise large angle tilting condition, the fuel cell performance has significantly decreased. And this performance decrease is aggravated in low load. An active water exhaust device is applied to the stack to prevent the performance decrease. And in lenthwise large angle tilting condition, this device cause a good effect to fuel cell stack performance.

To develop the 2kw class MCFC stack, preliminarly 3 cell and 10 cell stack having a $100cm^2$ effective electrode area were fabricated and tested. These stacks showed 30 W and 100 W of output respectively and average cell voltage of 0.734V at $150mA/cm^2$. The stack performance decreased with the increase of fuel utilization rate. In durability test of 10 cell stack, the performance was sharply decreased at the rate of 180mV/1000Hr during 720hours operation time.
