BMS(Battery Management System) in EV system(Electric Vehicle) senses voltage, temperature and the charging or discharging current of batteries. The main roles of BMS are to estimate SOC(State OF Charge) of batteries and optimally monitor them according to the operation state of EV system which is motoring mode or charging mode. In this paper, we propose the proper algorithm about BMS's roles and operation which is suitable to EV system and illustrate validity and effectiveness through the experiments which were performed in the condition of Vehicle road test and charging test.

In the Eco-Friendly Ship Act, the shaft generator is an equipment for eco-friendly ships. However, in order to apply the new technology in ships, high reliability is required, and the HILS (hardware in loop system) test is used as a verification method for this. Therefore, in this paper, a shaft generator is modeled and simulated for HILS test of a tugboat to which a shaft generator is applied. Through simulation, it was verified that the charging/discharging of the shaft generator operates according to the scenario.

리튬 이차 전지를 박막화함으로써 개발된 고상의 마이크로 박막전지는 임의의 크기 및 형태로의 제작이 가능하며 액체전해질을 사용하지 않기 때문에 작동 중 열 또는 기체 생성물이 생기지 않아 높은 안정성을 갖으며 광범위한 사용 온도 범위를 가진다. 위와 같은 장점으로 인하여 충전 가능한 고상의 박막형 리튬 이차 전지는 점진적으로 그 사용 범위가 크게 확대될 것으로 판단된다. 즉, 초소형 전자, 전기 소자는 물론이며 조만간 실현될 스마트 카드, 셀루러폰 및 PCS와 같은 개인용 휴대 통신장비의 전력 공급계로의 응용이 가능할 것이다. 특히 장수명, 고에너지 밀도를 갖는 초소형의 전지를 필요로 하는 microelectronics, MEMS등에 이용될 수 있는 이차전지에 대한 요구가 점점 가시화 됨에 따라 박막공정을 이용한 이차전지개발기술이 요구되고 있으며, 박막제조기술을 이용한 고상의 박막형 및 전지에 관한 연구가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 박막형 리튬 이차전지의 Cathode 물질로써 비정질의 산화바나듐 박막을 반응성 스퍼터링에 의하여 상온에서 증착하였다. 박막형 이차전지의 여러 가지 Cathode 물질중 산화바나듐은 다른 물질들과는 달리 비정질 형태로 매우 우수한 충방전 특성을 나타낸다. 이런 특성으로 인해 다소 전지자체의 성능은 낮지만 저전력 저전압을 필요로 하는 초소형 전자 소자와 혼성되어 이용할 수 있는 잠재성이 매우 높은 물질이다. 바나듐 타겟의 경우 타겟 표면의 ageing에 따라 증착되는 박막의 특성이 매우 달라지게 되므로 presputtering의 시간을 변화시키면서 실험하였다. 또한 스퍼터링 중의 산소의 분압도 타겟의 ageing에 많은 영향을 주므로 실험 변수로 산소분압을 변화시키면서 실험하였다. 증착된 산화바나듐 박막의 표면은 scanning electron microscopy로 분석하였으며 구조 분석은 X-선 회절분석, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy 그리고Auger electron spectroscope로 하였다. 증착된 산화바나듐 박막의 전기화학적 특성을 분석하기 위하여 리튬 메탈을 anode로 하고 EC:DMC=1:1, 1M LiPF6 액체 전해질을 사용한 Half-Cell를 구성하여 200회 이상의 정전류 충 방전 시험을 행하였다. Half-Cell test 결과 박막의 결정성과 표면상태에 따라 매우 다른 전지 특성을 나타내었다.

This paper proposes a design and experiment of three phase interleaved dc-dc converter for 5kW battery charger. The charger consists of a three-phase interleaved dc-dc converter, which interfaces batteries and DC link, and a grid connected inverter. Lead-acid battery is modeled in a simple R-C model by matlab. Parameters of the battery are estimated based on step current discharging test. The battery is connected to three-phase interleaved DC-DC converter in order to reduce the ripple current to the battery and so, increase the lifetime of battery. Controller for charging and discharging mode is designed and tested in a 5kW charger prototype.

Initial electrochemical characteristics of $LiCoO_2$ electrode for lithium ion battery with various content of super s black as conductive material were evaluated through the charge/discharge with the potential range of 4.3V to 2.0V versus $Li^+/Li^+$. The rate of C/4 and C/2 by the 3 electrode test cell composed with an electrolytic solution of 1 mol/l $LiPF_6/EC+DEC(1:3\;by\; weight)$. Lithium was used as reference electrode. High impedance charge behavior was observed at early stage of charge. In the case of $3\%w/w$ of super s black as conductive material, the specific resistance of the high impedance releasing was $3.82\;{\Omega}\;{\cdot}\;g-LiCoCo_2$ at the current density of $0.5 mA/cm^2$, which corresponds 7 times of the specific resistance of electrode $(0.728 g-LiCoO_2)$. At second charge, the specific resistance of the high impedance releasing was 63 mn · g-Lico02, which corresponds 12eio of the specific resistance of electrode and only $1.7\%$ of that of the first charge. The first charge and discharge specific capacities at C/4 rate were 160-161 and $153\~155mAh/g-LiCoO_2$, respectively, to lead $95.4\~96.4\%$ of coulombic efficiencies and ca. $6 mAh/g-LiCoO_2$ of initial irreversible specific capacity. Specific resistance at the end of charge and rest showed low value at content of super s black between 2 and $7\%w/w$, which agreed with characteristics of irreversible specific capacity. Capacity densities were reduced by the increasing the content of conductive material. They were 447 and 431mAh/ml when 2 and $2.9\%w/w$ of super s black were used, respectively, at the rate of C/4.

These days, sales of battery electric vehicles have been rapidly increasing due to the strict CO₂ regulations. However, since it take too long to measure the energy economy of electric vehicles, it has been required to improve the procedure of energy economy measurement. In order to improve this problem, the present study analyzed the battery charge/discharge pattern according to the changes in battery SOC (state of charge). In general, the energy economy test is started with a battery SOC charged to 100 %. However, it was identified that when the battery is fully charged, it can actually be charged over the 100 % (e.g., 100.5 %). This can induce errors in the energy economy measurement. Therefore, the present study recommend to start the test at SOC 99.9 %. The regenerative braking was partly restricted for the SOC over 90 %. This made it difficult to estimate the overall energy economy of the electric vehicle. However, it was identified that there was no change in the battery charge/discharge characteristics under the SOC 90 %. Therefore, the energy economy test can be shortened by predicting the overall energy economy through a short mileage test.

An investigation upon the characterization of MCMB anodes with different vapor grown carbon fiber (VGCF) content for application in lithium polymer battery(LPB) was carried out. When VGCF material was used as conducting agent with MCMB active material, the impedance and the initial coulombic efficiency of test cells were found to decrease with the increasing amount of VGCF. On the other hand, as a function of added VGCF the discharge capacity and the utilization linearly with increased. Impedance of test cell with MCMB anode containing $6wt\%$ VGCF exhibited the lowest value whereas the impedance of $8wt\%$ VUF contained anode was similar to that of MCMB anode without VGCF. Interestingly, $6wt\%$ VUF contained anode showed the best battery characteristics. Internal resistance and rate capacity of the cell were. respectively, $0.918{\Omega}\;at\;25C\;and\;93\%$ at 2C. Generally, rate capability and the cycleability of MCMB based test cells with $4\~6wt\%$ VGCF content exhibited better results than the other cells. In the case of $6wt\%$ VGCF containing anode, the discharge capacity of the cell faded slowly with an ultimate charge-discharge cycling capacity of 178mAh/g at the 100th cycle. Thereafter, the discharge capacity faded negligibly and the utilization of the cell at the 100th cycle was more than $90\%$. The effect of addition of VGCF is discussed in detail.

K-BEMS System was introduced to reduce peak load and to save total energy of the 120 buildings that KEPCO headquarter and branch offices use. K-BEMS system is composed of PV, battery, and hybrid PCS. In this system, ESS, PV, lighting is used to save building energy based on demand prediction. Currently, neural network technique for short past data is applied to demand prediction, and fixed scheduling method by operator for ESS charging/discharging is used. To enhance this system, KEPCO research institute has carried out this K-BEMS research project for 3 years since January 2016. As the result of this project, we developed new real-time highly reliable building demand prediction technique with error free and optimized automatic ESS charging/discharging technique. Through several field test, we can certify the developed algorithm performance successfully. So we will describe the details in this paper.
