In this paper, protective function evaluation was conducted to determine the performance and safety of a power conditioning system(PCS) for 1kW residential fuel cell system. It is essential to have a power quality, grid-connection and safety of PCS. Even though it is under 500ms by KGS-A410 standard, it is shown a rapid response time of 25ms from input under-voltage test. In terms of output over/under-voltage test, it is shown 29.15 and 79.4ms. Especially using anti-islanding test, it is shown all times under 100ms for combination cases of real and reactive power. We confirmed a rapid response characteristics and safety of PCS. The results of this evaluation are being used to develop a new test protocols of PCS.

The development of the Internet of Things(IoT) requires large computational resources for tasks from numerous devices. Mobile Edge Computing(MEC) has attracted a lot of attention in the IoT environment because it provides computational resources geographically close to the devices. Task offloading to MEC servers is efficient for devices with limited battery life and computational capability. In this paper, we assumed an industrial IoT environment requiring high reliability. The complexity of optimization problem in industrial IoT environment with many devices and multiple MEC servers is very high. To solve this problem, the problem is divided into two. After selecting the MEC server considering the queue status of the MEC server, we propose an offloading decision algorithm that optimizes reliability and energy consumption using genetic algorithm. Through experiments, we analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of energy consumption and reliability.

The government mandates gradually zero energy building and Photovoltaic power generation systems installed in buildings are emerging as the most realistic alternative to increase the independence rate of building energy. In this study, we propose a method to reduce the power consumption of households by increasing the PV capacity of balconies and applying the method used the charged electric power stored in batteries after sunset. In order to evaluate the electric power energy savings of the residential BESS, a balcony PV 1.2 kW and a battery pack 2 kWh were installed for 9 houses in 4 apartments in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The BESS is charged when the balcony PV is generated electric power, and when solar power generation is finished, it supplies power to the electric appliances connected to the load. As a result of installing the solar PV module 1.2 kW and 2 kWh class BESS for 3 households located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, the average electric power consumption saving rate was 40%. The reduction in electricity consumption in the case of zero generation surplus power by maximizing the utilization rate of BESS has been improved to about 53%. Therefore, in order to increase the self-sufficiency rate of electric energy in apartment houses, it is effective to increase the solar photovoltaic capacity of the balcony and apply the residential BESS. In the future, it is believed that the balcony PV and home BESS will play a key role in achieving mandatory zero-energy housing.

In this paper, acoustic analysis of thermoacoustic refrigerating system was given and the design procedure meeting the specifications was presented. The thermoacoustic refrigerator transforms the sound wave energy into the thermal energy via adiabatic process of inert gas. The system is composed of mainly three parts ; the acoustic motor utilizing loudspeaker the stack of plate for thermal transport and the resonator to form the standing wave. Based upon the acoustic analysis, resonator dimension and stack position and size were decided, and the entire refrigerating system was designed to the given specification. Also the mechanical Impedance of the designed resonator was obtained by simulation.

주거 상업용 건물에 있어 최근 TV, LED 조명, 컴퓨터, IT 기기들과 같은 직류를 사용하는 부하가 점차 증가함에 따라 기존의 교류 배전 기반의 건물 전력구조에서 에너지절감을 위한 하나의 방안으로 직류기반의 건물 배전구조에 대한 도입에 대한 연구가 활발히 이뤄지고 있다. 또한 직류 형태의 전원인 태양광 발전, 연료전지 등의 신재생 에너지와 가정 및 전기자동차용 배터리의 등장은 직류 기반 전력구조가 가지는 강점을 더욱 부각시키고 있다. 직류 배전 시스템은 기존 교류 배전에서 직류부하를 위한 다중의 전력 변환 과정을 최소화함으로서 전원 및 부하에서 소모되는 에너지를 절감하여 전력시장 내 전체적인 탄소배출량 저감에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 고려되어지고 있다. 이는 직류배전 시스템의 에너지 저감 효용성 이외 기존 교류배전 대비 부하단 부품 수의 감소에 따른 신뢰성 향상 및 가격 저감, 무효전력 고려사항의 제거 등 많은 장점을 가지기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 소용량 건물에 직류배전 구조가 도입될 경우 실현 가능성이 높은 대표적 직류 배전 구조들을 Functional Modeling 기법을 통해 모델링하며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존의 교류 배전 건물과 함께 각각의 전력계 구조에 대한 효율 및 장단점들을 정성적으로 비교하고, 구현에 필요한 고려사항들을 제시한다.

One of the problems in using renewable energy sources is great difficulty of stable and sustainable supply. Because the fuel cell can provide stable and sustainable supply of energy sources without regard to external conditions, however, it will become one of the most useful renewable energy sources for buildings that need stable energy supply. For practical application of PEMFC system to common household, the data of household energy consumption are analyzed by electricity, cooking and heating. From the result of the data analysis, practical application methods of PEMFC system to household are designed to several models. The aim of this study is to establish a plan of practical application for applying Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell(PEMFC) system to the households.

연료개질기는 연료전지 시스템의 핵심 구성요소 중의 하나로 도시가스로부터 수소를 생산하는 역할을 담당한다. 연료개질기는 주로 탈황, 수증기 개질, 수성가스 전이, 선택적 산화 반응의 4단계로 구성되어 있으며 이 중 상온 탈황부분을 제외한 나머지 부분은 일체화 설계를 통해 제작된다. 탈황의 경우 도시가스에 포함된 부취제인 황화합물를 제거하여 후단에 위치한 촉매층이 황에 의해 피독되는 것을 막는 역할을 하며 주로 상온흡착식 탈황제를 사용한다. 황이 제거된 도시가스는 물과 함께 연료개질기로 도입되어 수증기 개질반응을 통하여 수소, 일산화탄소, 이산화탄소 및 소량의 메탄과 미반응 수증기로 구성된 개질가스로 전환된다. 이후의 수성가스 전이반응에서는 일산화탄소가 물과 반응하여 수소 생산량을 늘리며 동시에 일산화탄소의 농도를 낮추게 된다. 또한 고분자 전해질 연료전지에 공급되는 개질가스는 선택적 산화반응을 통하여 일산화탄소의 농도를 10ppm이하로 유지하게 된다. 이러한 기능의 연료개질기 개발의 주요 이슈로는 컴팩트화 및 고효율화이며 이 두가지 요소를 고려하여 연료개질기를 설계하여야 한다. 연료전지 시스템의 전체부피를 줄이기 위한 노력의 일환으로 연료개질기의 컴팩트화가 요구되는데 가정용 연료전지 기술 선진국인 일본 제품의 경우 $1Nm^3/h$급 연료개질기의 부피는 20L정도로 알려져 있다. 또한 연료전지 시스템의 효율은 연료개질기의 개질효율과 연료전지 스택의 발전효율의 곱으로 계산되기 때문에 연료개질기의 연료개질 효율은 전체 시스템의 효율에 직접적으로 영향을 미치게 된다. 한국에너지기술연구원에서는 수소생산량 기준 $1Nm^3/h$급 연료개질기의 개발을 완료하였으며 크기 및 효율면에서 선진국 제품과 비교하여 동등 또는 우위의 수준을 달성하였다. 연료개질기 내부의 혼합 및 분배 구조를 개선하고 각 촉매층의 최적 배치를 통해 연료개질기의 부피를 최소화 하였으며 연료개질기 내부에서 고온부위와 저온부위 사이의 최적 열교환을 통해 열효율을 극대화 시켰다. 현재 개발된 $1Nm^3/h$급 개질기의 단열 후 부피는 13.5L 그리고 단독운전 시 열효율은 80%(LHV)로 측정되었다. 또한 $1Nm^3/h$급의 연료개질기의 스케일-업 설계를 통하여 수소생산량 3, $5Nm^3/h$ 규모의 연료개질기를 개발하였으며 성능평가가 진행 중이다.
