As lithium batteries have been used for car navigation systems and as the second battery for black boxes, lithium battery-related car fires have often occurred. In the case a lithium battery is the fire origin, a fire investigation technique has not been established to determine if a battery ignites or whether the lithium battery is damaged by fire. This study introduced car fire cases related to lithium batteries, analyzed the causes of a fire of a lithium battery, and proposed fire investigation techniques to objectively determine if a lithium battery ignites or whether a lithium battery is damaged by fire after external ignition.

고속전철의 보조 전원 장치는 차량에 탑재되므로 소형화, 경량화 및 고신뢰성이 요구된다. 보조전원 장치중 Battery Charge는 고압의 직류전원(670Vdc)을 저압의 직류전원(83Vdc)으로 변환하여 객차(Trailer Car : 50kW) 및 동력차(Power Car : 10Kw)에 필요한 직류전원을 안정되게 공급하고 Battery Charger의 고장 발생 시를 대비해 Battery의 최적 충전상태를 유지해야 한다. 기술개발의 최종 목표는 고효율, 고신뢰성 밧데리 충전기 시스템 개발, EMI 저감, 부피와 무게의 소형경량화, 최적 스위칭 기술 및 회로 개발이다. IGBT에 대해 소프트 스위칭 기법을 사용하여 스위칭 손실 저감 및 소자의 스트레스의 저감으로 전력 변환 장치의 효율 향상과 소자의 신뢰성을 확보하였고, 스위칭 주파수를 높여 변압기나 인덕터등의 자기 소자의 크기를 줄였다. Battery Charger를 단일 모듈로 구성하기 보다 5kW 모듈을 여러개 조합한 다중모듈방법으로 병렬 운전하므로써 입출력 전류리플룰 감소시켰으며 시스템의 안정성과 신뢰성을 높일 수 있었다.

Green Growth and green consume culture is the international trend, the importance of Green Car in one of leading electric car, hybrid electric car are easily accessible from the surrounding. In Green Car, the level in research and development of technology to take advantage of the battery is activated beyond the interest. Accordingly, it is needed to manage and monitor the battery in order to use more efficiently and reliably about the secondary battery of lithium series. In this paper, we propose the design and how to take advantage of technology for managing and monitoring of lithium series battery.

The research is to identify important diffusion factors and their effects on green car diffusion process using system dynamics perspectives and a causal-loop analysis. Through a deep review on previous research, we have found the important factors of green car diffusion process. Price, driving range, network effect, recharge system, fuel cost had important facilitation on consumer attraction and green car diffusion. Based on the review, we have constructed a causal loop diagram explaining hybrid car diffusion process. We have found 3 important reinforcing loops in the causal loop diagram. Loop for learning & economies of scale(supply side), loop for network effect(consumer side), and loop for battery development(technology side) had most significant roles in the whole diffusion process. Through a deliberate analysis on the 3 causal loops, we have found meaningful results. First, there seems to exist a critical mass in the diffusion. Second, of the 3 loops, the battery technology had most significant role. Third, not consumer installed base but sales must be a standard to decide whether the critical mass is achieved or not. Based on these findings, several meaningful implications are suggested for the government and corporations related to the green car industries.

In this paper, we describe the Solar Car, Woongbi, which was created to participate in the World Solar Challenge(WSC) at the team NeulHaeRang of Korea National University of Transportation. The WSC is the world's largest solar car racing competition and has a separate automobile regulation and must be manufactured to meet the regulations. Therefore, the key point of the solar car design is to optimize the energy efficiency based on the regulations. The solar car's drive system consists of a solar array to convert solar energy into electric energy, a maximum power point tracker (MPPT) controller to track the converted electric energy to maximum output power, a battery to store the produced electric energy, a BLDC (Brushless DC) motor for driving the vehicle by converting energy into mechanical energy, and a motor controller for controlling the BLDC. The optimal design methods for solar energy conversion and electric driving system of battery, motor are presented in this paper.

As increasing the international community's awareness of greenhouse gas reduction, the demand for eco-friendly ship fuel has accelerated recently. The fundamental aim of this study is to develop a new type of fully electrified ferry for passengers and cars considering Korean domestic coastal environmental conditions. Several technical difficulties are encountered in applying a fully electric propulsion system based on removable battery systems into a ship due to limitations imposed by the batteries' size and capacity. This paper reviews and analyzes marine environment regulations strengthened recently, technology trends related to fully electric propulsion vessels in each country, and Korean domestic coastal environments. We propose a new fully electrified car ferry design with a displacement of 400 t applied in Korea. It is powered by removable battery systems pre-charged in a safe inland charging station. The mobile battery system is developed to enable roll-on and roll-off using wheels. The characteristics of the ship motion are analyzed based on the weight and location of the battery systems. We expect our battery systems to be applicable to larger ships in the future.

Due to restriction of vehicle emissions and high demand for fossil fuels nowadays, car manufacturers around the world are looking into alternative ways in introducing new car model that would vastly captured the market. Thus, Electric Vehicle (EV) has been further developed to take the advantage of the current global issues on price of fossil fuels and impact on the environment. Since car battery plays the crucial role on the overall performance of EV, many researchers have been working on improving the component. This paper focused on the reliability of EV battery which involves recognizing failure types, testing method and life prediction method. By focusing on these elements, the reliability feature being identified and as a result the batteries life will be prolonged.
