To strengthen the existing regulations with respect to carbon emissions in the marine industry, there has been an increase in the number of studies focusing on realizing improvements in the utilization of vessels. While the development of new techniques related to these improvements can be costly, in this paper, we discuss a cost-effective method that may be applied directly to existing ships. The experimental data obtained suggests that the greatest reduction in energy loses can be realized by installing a double-partition wall on the storage tank of the ship, among other methods.

Fuel cell power system was developed for high-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Liquid chemical hydride was selected as a fuel due to its high energy density. Liquid storage of the fuel is an ideal alternative solution of the existing compressed hydrogen storage. The fueling system that extracts hydrogen from chemical hydride consists of catalytic reactor, micro-pump, fuel cartridge, separator, and controller. The fuel cell power system including the fueling system and the fuel cell that generates electricity was integrated into a proposed UAV. The performance verification of the fuel cell power system was performed to use as a power plant of the UAV.

Nuclear fuel can be damaged under unexpected circumstances in a nuclear reactor. Fuel rod failure can be occurred due to debris fretting or excessive hydriding or PCI (Pellet-to-clad Interaction) etc. It is important to identify the causes of such failed fuel rods for the safe operation of nuclear power plants. If a fuel rod failure occurs during the operation of a nuclear power plant, the coolant water is contaminated by leaked fission products, and in some case the power level of the plant may be lowered or the operation stopped. In addition, all spent fuels must be transferred to a dry storage. But failed fuel can not be transferred to a dry storage. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a system which is capable of inspecting whether the spent fuel in the storage pool is failed or not. The sipping technology is to analyze the leakage of fission products in state of gas and liquid. The failed fuel inspection system with gamma analyzer has successfully demonstrated that the system is enough to find the failed fuel at Wolsong plant.

친환경에너지원인 연료전지시스템에서 구조상 발생되는 문제점인 발전기와 같은 동작 특성과 느린 동특성으로 에너지를 저장할 수 있는 능력이 없다. 이를 보안하고자 400V급 승압형 풀브릿지 컨버터와 수퍼커패시터를 이용한 양방향 하프브릿지 컨버터를 적용하여 부하에 따른 낮은 출력전압을 승압하고 연료전지시스템 특성상 느린 동특성과 부하에 따른 출력변동을 슈퍼 커패시터를 이용하여 빠르게 충 방전함으로써 연료전지시스템으로도 상용전원과 같은 시스템에 적용 가능함을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다.

Dynamic response of baffled fuel-storage tank in turnaround motion is simulated using the ALE finite element method. Fuel-storage tank undergoes abrupt impact load caused by inertia force of internal fuel in turnaround motion. Also, large dynamic force and moment caused by this load influence structural stability and control system. In this paper, ring-type baffles are adopted to suppress the dynamic influence. Through the parametric analysis with respect to the baffle number and location, the effects of baffle on the dynamic response of baffled fuel-storage tank is analyzed. The ALE finite element method is adopted for the accurate and effective simulation of the hydrodynamic interaction between fluid and structure.

전력수요가 적을 때 잉여전력을 저장하고 전력수요가 많은 시간대나 전기료가 비싼 시간대에 저장된 전력을 사용함으로서 전력의 활용 효율을 높이고, 전력공급 시스템을 안정화하기 위해 에너지저장시스템의 연구가 최근에 활발히 진행되고 있다. 또한 공장, 산업용빌딩이나 병원 등 고르고 안정적인 전력의 수요는 늘어나고 있으며, 화석 연료 고갈 문제로 인한 신재생에너지 발전의 중요성도 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 무정전 전원장치, 태양광발전시스템, 에너지 저장 시스템을 모두 통합하였다. 제안한 시스템은 3상 인버터, 부스트 컨버터, 양방향 컨버터, 사이리스터 스위치로 구성된다. 인버터는 계통과 연계되거나 UPS 동작 시 AC 전력을 만든다. 부스트 컨버터는 태양광 패널과 연결되어 MPPT 제어를 수행한다. 양방향 컨버터는 잉여전력을 배터리에 저장을 하고, 전력이 부족할 시에는 배터리의 전력을 방전한다. 사이리스터 스위치는 정전 시 계통과 부하를 끊어주는 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 15kW급 시스템으로 구현하여 검증하였다.
