In this study, a comparative analysis between an electric heat pump cooling system and a hybrid desiccant cooling system is conducted. Desiccant cooling is a thermal driven system with potentially lower electric power consumption than electric heat pump. Hybrid desiccant cooling system simulation includes components such as a desiccant rotor, direct and indirect evaporative coolers, heat exchangers, fans, and a heat pump system. Using dynamic simulations by climate conditions, house cooling temperatures and power consumption for both systems are analyzed for 16 days period in the summer season under climate scenarios for the year 2100 prediction. The results reveal that the hybrid desiccant cooling system exhibits a 5-18% reduction in electric consumption compared to the heat pump system.

본 연구는 다른 에너지원에 비해 출력전류가 커짐에 전압의 드랍이 심한 에너지원을 대상으로하며, 기존의 고효율특성을 갖는 공진형 컨버터가 듀티의 변화에 자유롭지못한 단점을 보안하기위해 캐패시터를 이용하여 기존의 공진형 Push-Pull 컨버터와 부분전압제어가 가능한 Boost컨버터 2대를 결합하여 입력전압의 변화에도 일정한 DClink전압이 형성되도록 하고 있다. 각각 컨버터의 출력전압은 입력전압에 따라 변동하지만 고효율을 위하여 공진형 컨버터부에서 전압할당이 크도록 구성 되었으며, 본 논문은 공진형 Push-Pull컨버터, Boost 컨버터의 동작원리 및 2대의 컨버터를 결합구성 할 경우의 전력의 분담 및 전체적인 제어원리를 다루며, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 이를 입증하고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 연료 전지 시스템을 위한 Z-소스 인버터로 구성된 병렬 운전 시스템을 제시 하였다. PWM 방식으로는 Carrier phase shifted SPWM을 적용하였으며 이 방식은 출력 전류의 고조파 성분을 줄일 수 있는 장점을 갖는다. 그러나 이 기법을 Z-소스 인버터로 구성된 병렬 운전 시스템에 적용하는 경우 추가적으로 순환 전류를 발생한다. Z-소스 인버터로 구성된 병렬 운전 시스템이 동작 시 발생하는 순환 전류를 감소시키며, 부하전류에 낮은 고조파 성분을 가질 수 있도록 커플링된 순환 전류 리액터를 사용하였다. 이에 대한 적합성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 입증하였다.

This paper proposes a new power conditioning system for the fuel cell power generation, which consists of a ZVS DC-DC converter and 3-phase inverter. The ZVS DC-DC converter with a digital controller boosts the fuel cell voltage of 26-50V up to 400V, and the grid-tie inverter controls the active power delivered to the grid. The operation of proposed power conditioning system was verified through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. The feasibility of hardware implementation was verified through experimental works with a laboratory prototype, which was built with 1.2kW PEM fuel-cell stack, 1kW DC-DC converter, and 3kW PWM inverter. The proposed system can be utilized to commercialize an interconnection system for the fuel-cell power generation.

Now, the study is activity that the energy market depending on a fossil fuel tend to change different way. In middle of the study compositive use of renewable energy(fuel cell and wind power, solar cell, etc.) is dispersion power system which concern is increasing. But in the case of generation of electric wind power system is changeable to be turbulence and wind and win speed are changeable in several seconds, so making the best of wind energy the MPPT that role in this case is important. In this paper suggest a MPPT which is making a use of information of wind speed and turning speed, windmill, electric power but it is simpler than former way. We could verify that a proposed controller working at the highest point of electric power when wind speed is regular speed and changable speed through the simulation.

As an approach to high-efficiency of SOFC system, SOFC/GT Hybrid system is effective. However, if the output size of the system belongs to the marine class of dozens MWs, the introduction of the cooling system of GT system, which is used as sub-system, makes its related devices complicated and also makes its control difficult. Accordingly, for the marine use, SOFC/GT (non-cooling)Hybrid system looks more suitable than SOFC/GT(cooling)Hybrid system. This study established the SOFC/GT (non-cooling)Hybrid system, and examined the operating temperature & current density of the stack for the system, pressure ratio of the gas turbine, the influence of TIT(Turbine Inlet Temperature) on system performance, etc. through the simulation process. Through this research process, this study was able to confirm that electrical efficiency rises in spite of the increase in the required power for the air compressor, and there exists a limited range of temperatures for operation in TIT.

In this paper, we simulate the contribution of an increasing renewable energy to demands for fossil fuels and power supply price by estimating a cost function for the Korean electric power generation sector. Since the renewable energy is a composite input, it is not feasible to compute the price index for renewable energy due to data limit. We estimate a restricted cost function, which is derived by minimizing the costs of fossil fuels conditional on the quantity of renewable energy set to its optimal level, jointly with supply relation. In particular, derivation of the shadow price of renewable energy would make it possible to analyze potential costs incurred by power plants.

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.

In this paper, a Z-source hybrid active power filter is proposed to compensate the harmonics and reactive power in power distribution system. The proposed system is composed of a 7th harmonics-tuned passive filter and an active power filter with a Z-source inverter topology, while voltage source PWM inverter or current source PWM inverter are applied as the power converter topology of conventional active power filters. The Z-source impedance network along with shoot through capability would ensure a constant DC voltage across the DC link. A polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is employed as an compensation DC energy source of the proposed system and its equivalent R-L-C circuit is modeled for simulation. As the compensation and control algorithm of the proposed system, the current synchronous detection algorithm is applied. The simulation analysis by PSIM is performed under the three-phase 220V/60Hz voltage source and 25A nonlinear diode loads. The effectiveness of the proposed the system is verified in the steady and transient states.

This paper discusses wheel offloading approaches of the COMS which has a single solar array system for the accommodation of the optical payloads. First of all, in an effort to reduce fuel consumption and reflect practical implementation point of view, thruster sets for wheel offloading are proposed based on numerical analyses taking into account the COMS configuration. In this analysis, it is assumed that the wheel offloading is conducted twice a day. Secondly, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed thruster sets, orbit simulations are conducted for several wheel offloading approaches and compared.
