본 사고분석을 통해 154 kV 절연부싱에서의 폭발사고에 대한 원인을 규명하였다. 결과적으로, 절연부싱의 사양은 국제표준에 적합하였다. 사고당일 기록된 자료에 의하면 R상과 S상에서 거의 동시에 지락사고가 발생하였으며, 지락지속시간은 약 75 ms로써 사고의 영향을 준 시간은 약 67 ms인 것으로 나타났다. R상은 아크에 의한 탄화 흔적, S상은 아크에 의한 탄화흔적과 외부열에 의한 탄화흔적, T상은 외부열에 의한 탄화흔적, 용융흔적은 R상과 S상의 케이블접속부와 플랜지에서 각각 발생하였다. S상의 절연부싱을 이용하여 탄화패턴 중 아크에 의한 것과 일반 열에 의한 것을 분류하여 연면방전이 발생한 것을 입증하였다. 사고추정 시나리오는 현장조사과정에서 나타난 현상과 목격자 진술, 사고원인 분석자료 등을 토대로 하여 작성되었다. 따라서 사고추정을 통해 분석된 자료는 아크생성단계, 열폭주 단계, 폭발단계, 화재단계로 구성하였다. 사고원인 가능성은 사고의 원인, 형태, 영향을 통해 나타난 연결고리를 검토하여 가능성이 낮은 부분을 배제하는 방식으로 진행되었다. 절연부싱의 사고원인은 표면의 오염물질 부착 가능성이 가장 높았다. 이를 근거로 하여 제조, 시공, 관리적 측면에서의 방지대책을 고려하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

케이블 및 버스바는 전원을 공급하는 부대 장치로 산업 전반에 걸쳐 널리 사용되고 있다. 대부분의 경우 일정 주기로 점검 및 교체 등의 유지 보수를 진행하나 ITER IVC 버스바 및 지중케이블 등의 특수한 경우에서는 접근성 및 작업성의 이유로 유지 보수를 진행 할 수 없다. 이러한 경우, 절연물 내부에 전기 트리가 발생했을 때에는 대책이 없다. 전기 트리는 부분적인 고전계에 의한 진성파괴, 전하의 주입 또는 추출에 의한 파괴 및 전기-기계적 응력(맥스웰 응력)에 의한 파괴, 미소 부분 방전에 의한 파괴의 가장 큰 고장요인이 되는 현상이며, 다양한 사고 사례가 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석법을 이용하여 전기 트리를 가지는 사각 버스바에 대한 전계해석을 진행하였고, 전기 트리를 방지 할 수 있는 사각 버스바의 절연 설계에 대한 방안을 제시한다. 이 설계 방안은 향후 전기 트리를 고려한 사각 버스바의 절연 설계 기초 데이터로 활용 될 것이다.

The application of composite cathode materials including $LiFePO_4$ (lithium iron phosphate) of olivine crystal structure, which has high thermal stability, were investigated as alternatives for hybrid battery-capacitors with a $LiMn_2O_4$ (spinel crystal structure) cathode, which exhibits decreased performance at high temperatures due to Mn-dissolution. However, these composite cathode materials have been shown to have a reduction in capacity by conducting life cycle experiments in which a $LiFePO_4$/activated carbon cell was charged and discharged between 1.0 V and 2.3 V at two temperatures, $25^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, which caused a degradation of the anode due to the lowered voltage in the anode. To avoid the degradation of the anode, composite cathodes of $LiFePO_4/LiMn_2O_4$ (50:50 wt%), $LiFePO_4$/activated carbon (50:50 wt%) and $LiNi_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ (50:50 wt%) were prepared and the life cycle experiments were conducted on these cells. The composite cathode including $LiNi_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ of layered crystal structure showed stable voltage behavior. The discharge capacity retention ratio of $LiNi_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ was about twice as high as that of a $LiFePO_4/LiMn_2O_4$ cell at thermal stability experiment for a duration of 1,000 hours charged at 2.3 V and a temperature of $80^{\circ}C$.

In this study, the evaluation of performance of AORFB using methyl viologen and TEMPOL as organic active materials in neutral supporting electrolyte (NaCl) with various membrane types was performed. Using methyl viologen and TEMPOL as active materials in neutral electrolyte solution, the cell voltage is 1.37V which is relatively high value for AORFB. Two types of membranes were examined for performance comparison. First, when using Nafion 117 membrane which is commercial cation exchange membrane, only the charge process occurred in the first cycle and the single cell couldn't work because of its high resistance. However, when using Fumasep anion exchange membrane (FAA-3-50) instead of Nafion 117 membrane, the result was obtained as the totally different charge-discharge graphs. When current density was $40mA{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ and cut off voltage range was from 0.55 V to 1.7 V, the charge efficiency (CE) was 97% and voltage efficiency (VE) was 78%. In addition, the discharge capacity was $1.44Ah{\cdot}L^{-1}$ which was 54% of theoretical capacity ($2.68Ah{\cdot}L^{-1}$) at $10^{th}$ cycle and the capacity loss rate was $0.0015Ah{\cdot}L^{-1}$ per cycle during 50 cycles. Through cyclic voltammetry test, it seems that this difference in the performance between the full cell using Nafion 117 membrane and Fumasep anion exchange membrane came from increasing resistance due to chemical reaction between membrane and active material, not the capacity loss due to cross-over of active material through membrane.

As CBR(Chemical, Biological, and Radiological) attack increases, the importance of CBR protective facilities is being emphasized. When CBR warfare emerges, a task force team, who exist outside of CBR protective facility, should enter the CBR protective facility through neutralizing process in CCA(Contamination Control Area) and TFA(Toxic Free Area). If a bottleneck occurs in the process or zones, the task force team cannot enter the CBR protective facility efficiently and may cause inefficiency in its operation performance or result in casualties. The current design criteria of the CBR protective facility is only limited to ventilation system and it does not consider how much time it takes to enter the facility. Therefore, this research aims to propose the entering time estimation model with discrete event simulation. To make the simulation model, the procedure performed through CCA and TFA is defined and segmented. The actual time of the procedure are measured and adapted for the simulation model. After running the simulation model, variables effecting the entering time are selected for alternatives with adjustments. This entering time estimation model for CBR protective facility is expected to help take time into consideration during the designing phase of CBR protective facility and help CBR protective facility managers to plan facility operation in a more realistic approach.

To maximize the areal capacity($mAh\;cm^{-2}$) of $LiNi_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$(NCM523) electrode with the same loading level of $15mg\;cm^{-2}$, three NCM523 electrodes with 4, 2, and 1 wt% poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVdF) binder content are fabricated. Due to the delamination issue of electrode composite at the edge during punching process, the 1 wt% electrode is excluded for further evaluation. When the PVdF binder content decreases from 4 to 2 wt%, both adhesion strength and shear stress decrease from 0.4846 to $0.2627kN\;m^{-1}$ by -46% and from 3.847 to 2.013 MPa by -48%, respectively. Regardless of these substantial decline of mechanical properties, their initial electrochemical properties such as initial coulombic efficiency and voltage profile are almost the same. However, owing to high loading level, the 2 wt% electrode not only exhibits worse cycle performance than the 4 wt% electrode, but also cannot maintain its mechanical integrity only after 80 cycles. Therefore, if the binder content is reduced to increase the area capacity, the mechanical properties as well as the cycle performance must be carefully evaluated.

Polymeric gel electrolytes based on polyacrylronitile blended with poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoro-propylene)(P(VdF-co-HFP), which were reinforced with glass fiber cloth(GFC) to increase the mechanical strength, were prepared for the practical use in secondary battery. Test cell consisting of $LiCoO_2$ as a cathode and mesophase pich-based ca.bon fiber (MCF) as an anode material showed a capacity of 110 mAh/g based on the cathode weight at 0.2C rate at room temperature. Over $80\%$ of initial capacity was retained after 400cycles, indicating that GFC is suitable for a reinforcing material to increase the mechanical strength of gel based electrolytes.

In general, in a batch reaction process in which products are made using flammable liquids, splash filling is used to clean the walls of the reactor by spraying flammable liquids, which are raw materials used for product, during cleaning of the reactor after work. During this process, mist of flammable liquid is generated, the lower limit of explosion is lowered, and fire·explosion may occur due to discharges caused by various types of complex charges, such as flow charge, collision charge, and ejection charge. Therefore, based on the recent accident case, to identify the risk when working in the form of splash filling with toluene in a batch process and perform an explosion impact analysis using the TNT equivalent method After that, we will analyze the accident results and suggest preventive measures such as constant purge system, improvement of cleaning method, and use of tantalum to prevent such accident.

One-dimensional modeling was carried-out to predict the capacity loss of a lithium-ion polymer battery during cycling. The model not only accounted for electrochemical kinetics and ionic mass transfer in a battery cell, but also considered the parasitic reaction inducing the capacity loss. In order to validate the modeling, modeling results were compared with the measurement data of the cycling behaviors of the lithium-ion polymer batteries having nominal capacity of 5Ah from LG Chem. The cycling was performed under the protocol of the constant current discharge and the constant current and constant voltage charge. The discharge rate of 1C was used. The range of state of charge was between 1 and 0.2. The voltage was kept constant at 4.2 V until the charge current tapered to 50 mA. The retention capacity of the battery was measured with 1C and 5C discharge rates before the beginning of cycling and after every 100 cycles of cycling. The modeling results were in good agreement with the measurement data.
