연료전지는 환경에 친화적인 새로운 에너지기기로서, 업무$\cdot$가정용 전원, 자동차 등의 이동전원, 전자기기용 전원 등 많은 분야에 보급이 기대되고 있다. 그 중에서도 고체고분자 연료전지(이하 ''PEFC''라 함)는, 전해질이 고체로 취급하기 쉽고, 더욱이 동작온도가 실온(室溫)에 가까우며 값이 싸고 소용량화$\cdot$운전유연성이 기대되어, 산$\cdot$학$\cdot$연에서 개발이 활발히 추진되고 있다. PEFC 전원의 실용화는, 가정용으로 대표되는 소용랑 코제너레이션 전원으로 먼저 시작될 것으로 생각된다. 구체적으로는, 1kW 출력수준의 코제너레이션 전원 겸 급탕기(給湯器)를 가정에 설치하여 배열(背熱)을 유효 이용함으로써 연료비와 $CO_2$ 배출량을 경감하는 것이다. 여기서는, 이러한 가정용 전원에 대하여 우선 첫째로 전원 운용에 관련된 계산$\cdot$검토를 실시하고 연료비/$CO_2$ 배출량의 삭감효과를 조사했다. 그 결과에 의하면, 예상했던 대로 도입효과가 크게 기대되는 한편, 그 효과는 연료단가와 운전 상황에 따라서도 크게 좌우된다. 어떠한 환경에서도 확실하게 메리트가 있도록 전원의 가일층의 성능향상이 요망된다. 그 외에, 전원의 용량과 부분부하에 대한 검토가 중요하다. 또한, 시스템 시험에서는, 1kW 전원을 시험$\cdot$제작하여 성능시험, 코스트분석을 실시했다. 그 결과 배열회수와 전지/직류교환부의 성능으로 시장도입시의 목표에 가까운 것을 알 수 있었다. 한편 저(低)코스트화에 관해서는, 시스템을 간소하게 하는 기술을 개발중에 있다. 연료전지기술은 앞으로의 사회에 매우 중요하며, 보다 좋은 사회의 실현을 위해 개발에 계속 진력해 나갈 것이다.

In midst of electrical energy consumption on the rise due to the industrial development and the improved quality of living, medium capacity and multi boilers which use gas that is comparatively low cost and can be supplied reliably are simulated for energy consumption using the partial load data obtained from the experiment. Economic analysis that considers initial and operation costs is carried out based on the Annual equal payment method.

Peak cooling load of large buildings is generally greater than their peak heating load. Internal and solar heat gains are used fur selection of adquate equipment in large building in cold winter climate like Canada and even Korea. The cost of geothermal heat exchanger to meet the cooling loads can increase the initial cost of ground source heat pump system to the extend less costly conventional system often chosen. Thermal ice storage system has been used for many years in Korea to reduce chiller capacity and shift Peak electrical time and demand. A distribution system designed to take advantage of heat extracted from the ice, and use of geothermal loop (geothermal heat exchanger) to heat as an alternate heat source and sink is well known to provide many benifits. The use of thermal energy storage (TES) reduces the heat pump capacity and peak cooling load needed in large building by as much as 40 to $60\%$ with less mechanical equipment and less space for mechanical room. Additionally TES can reduce the size and cost of the geothermal loop by 1/3 to 1/4 compared to ground coupled heat pump system that is designed to meet the peak heating and cooling load and also can eliminate difficuties of geothermal loop installation such as space requirements and thermal conditions of soil and rock at the urban area.

This paper describes an experimental study on efficiency of solar collector in solar water heating system connected to hourly water heating load. In general, the functional form of solar efficiency is expressed as a function of fluid temperature entering solar collector, ambient temperature, and solar irradiance. When energy saving from solar heating of water heating system is analyzed on along-term basis such as one year with given solar irradiance data, simplified analysis is more convenient han detailed system simulation for quick assessment. However, the functional form of the efficiency is not convenient for approximately simplified energy analysis because the inlet temperature can be obtained through a detailed system simulation. In the study, solar collector efficiency is obtained with various daily water heating load sand daily solar irradiance using experimental tests. The study also considers large residential buildings such as apartment buildings for application of solar water heating systems. From test results, it is found that daily solar collector efficiency is proportional to daily water heating loads and daily solar irradiance. The data obtained from the study can be utilized to find a functional relation between daily solar irradiance and daily heating load in stead of collector inlet temperature for application of solar collector efficiency to long-term approximated energy analysis of solar heating system.
