하이브리드 자동차 및 전기 자동차(하이브리드 및 전기자동차)용 배터리 팩은 고용량 대면적 셀을 적용하기 때문에 배터리 셀의 평균 온도는 중요한 관리 기준이 된다. 최근에는, 배터리 충전시간을 줄이기 위한 고속 충전 기술이 요구되고 있으며, 이에 따른 셀과 전장부품의 발열로 인해 배터리 팩 성능 및 수명의 저하가 발생한다. 따라서, 고속 충전에 따른 배터리 팩의 성능저하를 방지하기 위해 효과적인 배터리 냉각시스템이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 파우치형 고속 충전용 배터리 셀 적용 냉각시스템 및 모듈 설계를 도출하고 배터리의 효율을 극대화할 수 있는 냉각성능을 분석하였다. 베이퍼챔버 냉각시스템을 적용한 모듈의 온도 편차 분석 결과 모듈 내 온도 편차는 5.82 ℃로 기존 알루미늄 냉각판 대비 낮은 온도를 보여 우수한 냉각시스템 효과를 보였다.

In this paper, a constant frequency phase shifting PWM-controlled voltage source full bridge-type series load resonant high-frequency inverter using the $4^{th}$ generation IGBT power modules is presented for innovative consumer electromagnetic induction heating applications, such as a hot water producer, steamer and super heated steamer. The bridge arm side link passive capacitive snubbers in parallel with each power semiconductor device and AC load side linked active edge inductive snubber-assisted series load resonant tank soft switching inverter with a constant frequency phase shifted PWM control scheme is evaluated and discussed on the basis of the simulation and experimental results. It is proved from a practical point of view that the series load resonant and edge resonant hybrid high-frequency inverter topology, what is called, DE class type, including the variable-power variable-frequency regulation function can expand zero voltage soft switching commutation area even under low output power setting ranges, which is more suitable and acceptable for newly developed induction heated dual pack fluid heaters. Furthermore, even the lower output power regulation mode of this high-frequency load resonant tank inverter circuit is verified so that this inverter can achieve ZVS with the aid of the single auxiliary inductor snubber.

FuelCell/Battery hybrid power systems were studied to develop high efficient zero-emission fuel cell electric vehicles. Fuel cells were used as an auxiliary energy source and batteries were used as a transient power source. The fuel cell system is used to supply the average power demand. Dynamic response of the hybrid systems was simulated using PSPICE program and also tested experimentally. The results can be used to design the interface module and to determine the power requirement between the fuel cell unit and the battery pack.

Global automobile manufacturers are developing electric vehicles (EVs) to eliminate the pollutant emissions from internal combustion vehicles and to minimize fossil fuel consumptions for the future generations. However, EVs have a disadvantage of shorter traveling distance than that of conventional vehicles. To answer this shortfall, more batteries are installed in the EV to satisfy the consumer expectation for the driving range. However, as the energy capacity of the battery mounted in the EV increases, the amount of heat generated by each cell also increases. Naturally, a better battery thermal management system (BTMS) is required to control the temperature of the cells efficiently because the appropriate thermal environment of the cells greatly affects the power output from the battery pack. Typically, the BTMS is divided into an active and a passive system depending on the energy usage of the thermal management system. Heat exchange materials usually include gas and liquid, semiconductor devices and phase change material (PCM). In this study, an application of PCM for a BTMS was investigated to maintain an optimal battery operating temperature range by utilizing characteristics of a PCM, which can accumulate large amounts of latent heat. The system was modeled using Dymola from Dassault Systems, a multi-physics simulation tool. In order to compare the relative performance, the BTMS with the PCM and without the PCM were modeled and the same battery charge/discharge scenarios were simulated. Number of analysis were conducted to compare the battery cooling performance between the model with the aluminum case and PCM and the model with the aluminum case only.

전기동력을 기반으로 하는 전기추진비행기는 화석연료 사용에 따른 CO2 발생을 줄여서 지구온난화에 대응할 수 있고 에너지의 효율적 사용을 통해서 장기적으로 비행기의 운용비용을 줄일 수 있다. 이런 이유로, 미국과 유럽연합 등 선진 항공국가에서는 미래의 완전한 전기비행기 구현을 위한 혁신적 기술개발을 선도적으로 진행하고 있다. 현재, 국내에서는 기존 2인승 엔진 비행기를 전기추진비행기로 개조하는 연구개발이 진행 중에 있다. 개조대상 비행기는 KLA-100으로써 엔진 장착공간과 부조종사 공간을 활용하여 배터리 팩을 설치하고, 30분의 비행시험을 목표로 하고 있다. 해당 목표를 달성하기 위해서는 배터리 성능이 보장되어야 하는데, 개조 비행기에는 비출력 150Wh/kg, 중량 200kg 그리고 C-rate 3~4인 리튬-이온(Li-ion) 배터리가 설치된다. 본 논문에서는 설계된 배터리 팩이 장착된 전기추진비행기의 비행 가능성을 사전에 점검하고자 한다. 이를 위해 30분 비행 프로파일을 시동 및 활주단계, 이륙단계, 상승단계, 순항단계, 하강단계, 착륙 및 활주단계로 구분하고, 각 단계에서 요구되는 배터리 용량을 계산하여 최종 목표로 하고 있는 30분 비행 가능 여부를 평가하였다. 또한, 비행속도에 따른 비행 가능시간과 항속거리를 분석하여 전기추진비행기용 배터리 팩의 비행성능을 파악하였다.

The aim of this study is to design a simulation model for an electric All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) tractor to evaluate the performance of the selected component and agricultural work ability. The electric AWD tractor consists of four motors independently for each drive wheel, and each motor is combined with an engine generator, a battery pack, and reducers. The torque data of a 78 kW-class tractor was measured during plow tillage and driving operation to develop a workload cycle. A simulation model was developed by using commercial software, Simulation X, and it used the workload as the simulation condition. As a result of simulation analysis, the drive system, including an electric motor and reducers, was able to cope with high load during plow tillage. The SOC (State of Charge) level was influenced by the output power of the motor, and it was maintained in the range of 50~80%. The fuel consumed by the engine was about 18.23 L during working on a total of 8 fields. The electric AWD tractor was able to perform agricultural work for about 7 hours. In the future study, the electric AWD tractor will be developed reflecting the simulation condition. Research on the comparison between the simulation model and the electric AWD tractor should be performed.

This paper proposes a modularized charge equalization converter for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) lithium-ion battery cells, in which the intra-module and the inter-module equalizer are Implemented. Considering the high voltage HEV battery pack, over approximately 300V, the proposed equalization circuit modularizes the entire $M^*N$ cells; in other words, M modules in the string and N cells in each module. With this modularization, low voltage stress on all the electronic devices, below roughly 64V, can be obtained. In the intra-module equalization, a current-fed DC/DC converter with cell selection switches is employed. By conducting these selection switches, concentrated charging of the specific under charged cells can be performed. On the other hand, the inter-module equalizer makes use of a voltage-fed DC/DC converter for bi-directional equalization. In the proposed circuit, these two converters can share the MOSFET switch so that low cost and small size can be achieved. In addition, the absence of any additional reset circuitry in the inter-module equalizer allows for further size reduction, concurrently conducting the multiple cell selection switches allows for shorter equalization time, and employing the optimal power rating design rule allows fur high power density to be obtained. Experimental results of an implemented prototype show that the proposed equalization scheme has the promised cell balancing performance for the 7Ah HEV lithium-ion battery string while maintaining low voltage stress, low cost, small size, and short equalization time.
