This paper describes the development of a powertrain for a 20 kW experimental electric vehicle using a surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) and its application to a test vehicle. Two 10 kW SPMSMs are used in the powertrain, and two-level inverters are developed by using IGBTs to derive these motors. To control the SPMSM, a control board based on a TMS320F28335 DSP module, which has fast arithmetic function and floating point operator, is used. We develop a 100 V/40 A battery pack, which includes $32{\times}4$ LiFePO4 battery cells using commercial BMS. A commercial on-board charger with 220 V (AC) input and 100 V (DC) and 18 A output is used to charge the battery pack. The performance of the developed vehicle, such as acceleration availability, maximum speed, and maximum power, is estimated based on vehicle dynamics and verified through experiments.

Silicon-carbon composite was prepared by the magnesiothermic reduction of mesoporous silica and subsequent impregnation with a carbon precursor. This was applied for use as an anode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Well-ordered mesoporous silica(SBA-15) was employed as a starting material for the mesoporous silicon, and sucrose was used as a carbon source. It was found that complete removal of by-products ($Mg_2Si$ and $Mg_2SiO_4$) formed by side reactions of silica and magnesium during the magnesiothermic reduction, was a crucial factor for successful formation of mesoporous silicon. Successful formation of the silicon-carbon composite was well confirmed by appropriate characterization tools (e.g., $N_2$ adsorption-desorption, small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analyses). A lithium-ion battery was fabricated using the prepared silicon-carbon composite as the anode, and lithium foil as the counter-electrode. Electrochemical analysis revealed that the silicon-carbon composite showed better cycling stability than graphite, when used as the anode in the lithium-ion battery. This improvement could be due to the fact that carbon efficiently suppressed the change in volume of the silicon material caused by the charge-discharge cycle. This indicates that silicon-carbon composite, prepared via the magnesiothermic reduction and impregnation methods, could be an efficient anode material for lithium ion batteries.

An integral electrode-bipolar plate assembly, which is composed of electrode, conductive adhesive film (CAF) and bipolar plate, has been developed and evaluated for application with a vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) to decrease contact resistance between electrode and bipolar plate. The CAF, made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl-acetate) material with carbon black or CNT (Carbon Nano Tube), is applied between the electrode and the bipolar plate to enable an integral assembly by adhesion. In order to evaluate the integral assembly of VRB by adhesive film, the resistivity of integral assembly and the performance of single cell were investigated. Thus, it was verified that the integral assembly is applicable to redox flow battery. Through resistance and contact resistance of bare EVA and CAF films on bipolar plate were changed. Among the adhesive films, CAF film coated with carbon black showed the lowest value in through resistance, and CAF film coated with CNT showed the lowest value in contact resistance, respectively. The efficiency of VRB single cell was improved by applying CAF films coated with carbon black and CNT, resulting in the reduced overvoltage in charging process. Therefore, the energy efficiency of both CAF films, about 84%, were improved than that of blank cell, about 79.5 % under current density at 40 mA cm^-2. The energy efficiency of the two cells were similar, but carbon black coated CAF improved the coulomb efficiency and CNT coated CAF improved the voltage efficiency, respectively.

지구온난화 및 대기오염 등 환경문제에 대한 관심이 대두되면서 국제해사기구의 선박 대기오염물질 배출 규제 및 협약이 채택되었으며, 최근 국내에서는 항만지역 등 대기질의 개선에 관한 특별법안이 제정되어 미세먼지 발생량을 줄이고자 다방면으로 노력하고 있다. 이러한 미세먼지 저감대책의 일환으로 노후화된 연안선박의 디젤엔진을 미세먼지 및 배출가스가 없는 배터리 전기추진시스템으로 전환하는 것에 대한 타당성 조사가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 배터리 전기추진시스템은 연료의 연소로 인한 배기가스의 발생이 없으며, 신재생에너지원의 적용이 용이하므로 유럽이나 미국과 같은 선진국에서는 수년전부터 신재생에너지를 적용한 배터리 전기추진시스템이 적용된 소형연안여객선이 운항 중이나 국내에서는 전무하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 소형연안여객선을 대상선박으로 선정하여 태양광 발전시스템이 연계된 배터리 전기추진선박의 적용 여부에 대해 시뮬레이션을 하였으며, 그에 따른 결과를 바탕으로 배터리 전기추진선박의 적용가능성을 확인하고자 한다.

해군 함정에는 특수목적을 수행하기 위해 구성되어있는 시스템이 있다. 그 중에는 지휘무장통제체계(CFCS : Command and Fire Control System, 이하 CFCS)가 존재하며 이를 운용하기 위해 요구사항에 맞는 장비가 개발된다. 특히 이러한 장비들 중 일부는 함정의 발전기 문제나 기타 예기치 못한 상황에서 정전이 발생하더라도, 운용 지속성 및 중요한 자료를 백업할 수 있도록 무정전전원공급장치 (UPS : Uninterruptible Power System, 이하 UPS)를 적용해야한다. 만약 이를 충족하지 못할 경우 전력손실로 이어진다. 그러므로, 우리는 안정적인 UPS가 적용될 수 있도록 방안을 강구해야한다. 안정적인 UPS를 설계하기 위해 배터리와 배터리관리시스템 (BMS : Battery Management System, 이하 BMS)은 중요한 요소가 된다. 만약 이러한 배터리와 BMS가 불안정하게 되면 전원문제가 발생할 경우 중요한 전술 정보가 손실되거나 전투체계 수행업무를 정상적으로 할 수 없게 되므로 큰 전력 공백이 발생한다. 즉, 본 시스템의 안전성 확보가 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 CFCS에 적합한 UPS 개선을 위해 배터리 비교분석, 주요회로 누설전류 분석, 내환경성 시험을 토대로 개선된 시스템을 구현 및 검증하였다.

In recent year, energy harvesting technologies from the ambient environments such as light, motion, wireless waves, and temperature again a lot of attraction form research community [1-5] due to its efficient solution in order to substitute for conventional power delivery methods, especially in wearable together with on-body applications. The drawbacks of battery-powered characteristic used in commodity applications lead to self-powered, long-lifetime circuit design. Thermoelectric generator, a solid-state sensor, is useful compared to the harvesting devices in order to enable self-sustained low-power applications. TEG based on the Seebeck effect is utilized to transfer thermal energy which is available with a temperature gradient into useful electrical energy. Depending on the temperature difference between two sides, amount of output power will be proportionally delivered. In this work, we illustrated a low-input voltage energy harvesting circuit applied discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) method for getting an adequate amount of energy from thermoelectric generator (TEG) for a specific wearable application. With a small temperature gradient harvested from human skin, the input voltage from the transducer is as low as 60mV, the proposed circuit, fabricated in a $0.6{\mu}m$ CMOS process, is capable of generating a regulated output voltage of 4.2V with an output power reaching to $40{\mu}W$. The proposed circuit is useful for powering energy to battery-less systems, such as wearable application devices.

In this paper, we design a middleware for context-awareness which provides compound contexts from diverse sensors on a mobile device. Until now, most of context-aware application developers have taken responsibility for context processing from sensing data. Such application-level context processing causes heavily redundant data processing and leads to significant resource waste in energy as well as computing. In the proposed scheme, we define primitive and compound context map which consists of relavant sensors and features. Based on the context definition, each application demands a context of interest to the middleware, and thus similar context-aware applications inherently share context information and procesing within the middleware. We show that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the resource amounts of cpu, memory, and battery, and that the performance gain gets much more when multiple applications which need similar contexts are running.

In this paper, we have developed a module that prevents a driver from using mobile phone while driving. The module is equipped with a vibration sensor to determine if the vehicle is running, a BLE module to transmit the status of the module and a speaker to transmit audible/unaudible sound to the mobile terminal where GUI application is installed. If the vehicle is judged to be moving, the application is activated and the touch function of the mobile phone is blocked. Other data are also transmitted depending on the state of the module, which informs forced module removal, battery failure, or sleep mode of the module.
