FCEV(Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle)는 연료전지를 사용하여 차량 구동용 전동기에 필요한 에너지를 공급한다. 연료전지는 부하에 급격한 변화가 발생하였을 시에 과도특성이 나타나고 자동차에 에너지를 공급하는 속도에 영향을 준다. 그러므로 연료전지의 특성상 FCEV에서 배터리는 연료전지와 함께 사용된다. FCEV 및 전기자동차는 배터리의 대용량화를 위해 일반적으로 배터리 셀을 직/병렬로 모듈화하여 사용하는데, 이때 배터리 모듈의 충전 및 방전이 반복될 경우, 각 배터리 잔존용량의 불균형이 나타난다. 본 논문은 연료전지 전기자동차용 전력변환 장치를 이용하여 배터리 셀을 모듈화하여 모듈 별 밸런싱을 수행하는 시스템의 설계와 제어기법을 제안한다. 각각의 배터리 모듈과 연료전지를 연결하는 컨버터 모듈은 독립적으로 제어되어 배터리를 모듈 단위로 균등화시킨다. 이때 연료전지를 입력으로 절연형 컨버터를 병렬로 사용하며, 각각의 배터리 모듈을 균일하게 충전한다.

Hydrogen is promising a candidate for energy supporting the carbon neutrality policy for greenhouse gas reduction, which is being promoted in several countries, including Korea. Although challenging efforts-such as lowering the costs of green hydrogen production and fuel cells-remain, hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are expected to play a significant role in the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. In line with this objective, the hydrogen FCEV working group in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) compiled and revised international standards related to hydrogen refueling stations as of 2019. A well-established hydrogen quality management system based on the standard documents will increase the reliability of hydrogen charging stations and accelerate the use of FCEVs. In this study, among the published ISO standards and other references, the main requirements for managing charging stations and developing related techniques were summarized and explained. To respond preemptively to the growing FCEV market, a continuous hydrogen quality monitoring method suitable for use at hydrogen charging stations was proposed.

The sensing of a stack coolant deficiency is very important in that cooling performance of a fuel cell, overheating prevention of a stack or coolant heater. This paper explains the performance comparison between the coolant contact/noncontact level sensors and coolant deficiency sensing logic using the pressure sensor in a stagnant or circulating flow. Throughout the comparison, the pressure sensor is more suitable than the other sensors in terms of the precision, fast response, sensing frequency. After the experiment, the pressure sensor is equipped to an FCEV(Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) to verify sensing definitely. There was no miss-sensing using pressure sensor while FCEV runs in the conditions of the paved road and cross country road.

A loss minimizing controller is developed for a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The PMSM losses are modeled by some experimental equations. Applying Lagrangian to the loss function, a necessary condition for the optimality appears to be a fourth order polynomial, and the loss minimizing solutions are obtained by a simple numerical approach. On the other hand, the loss minimizing solutions are found by scanning the motor loss in the entire operating region. The two results agree well. The loss minimizing current sets for given torque and speed are made into a table, which is utilized as a look-up in the current control loop.

Centrifugal turbo blower is requested highly efficiency and low noise in FCEV, but the noise generated by this machine causes of the most serious problems in the NVH performance. In general, centrifugal turbo blower is dominated by mechanical noise and aerodynamic noise. Mechanical noise is generated by rotation of the bearing, misalignment and unbalance. And aerodynamic noise is generated by the strong intersection between the flow discharged from the impeller and the cut-off in the casing. The first object of this study is to comprehend a noise property of the blower through the noise test. And, second object is to bring up the method that can reduce blower noise.

It was used as measuring system to diagnose insulating condition, by which was kept a insulating resistance of inner stack and at the same time was cooled electrochemical heat of reaction of FCEV(fuel cell electric vehicle) stack that used a compressed hydrogen gas reacting with oxygen in accordance with variation on thermal degradation of nonconductive heat transfer fluid. Consequently it was developed a cylindrical multi-terminal capacitive-conductive sensor that could be attached to the internal surface of cooling system pipe to evaluate capacitance and conductivity of heat transfer fluid.

This paper presents dynamic analysis of FCEV(fuel cell electric vehicle) turbo blower. To analyze the dynamic characteristics of turbo blower, FEA(finite element analysis) and experimental test are performed. Evaluations of stress safety for rotor sleeve and impeller due to rotational force and shrink fit are performed. Rotor dynamic analysis is conducted by Campbell diagram and structure vibration analyses are performed using FEA and experimental test. Through these results, noise sources of turbo blower are verified.

Interior permanent magnet synchronous motor [IPMSM] which has high power density is applied to motor for Hybrid electric vehicle[HEV], Electric vehicle[EV], Fuel cell electric vehicle[FCEV] and electric home appliances. In order to improve efficiency performance of IPMSM, this paper presented a study by making a hole around air barrier. Because concentrated rib stress is distributed by suitable hole, the hole can reduce rib thickness of IPM rotor. And it can help decrease PM[Permanent Magnet] leakage flux. Saliency ratio($L_q/L_d$) is also increased by magnetic circuit change. For this study, structure analysis of rotor is performed by Ansys program.

Fossil fuel, the energy source of internal combustion engine automobiles, is limited in resource and has caused environmental issues for decades. Accordingly, automobile manufacturers from many countries around the world are developing or producing eco-friendly vehicles that utilize alternative sources of energy. These vehicles are equipped with many electronic and electrical components which operate on high voltage and/or large current that were not used in conventional combustion engine automobiles. In this paper, in order to analyze the electro-magnetic interference noise, electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles are tested under the guidelines of KMVSS (Korean Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) as well as under test modes that are not stipulated under the guidelines.

According to the "hydrogen economy roadmap" announced recently by the government, fuel cell electric vehicle diffusion and hydrogen refueling station construction are actively being carried out to prepare for the hydrogen economy era. The station will be expanded by introducing various charging station models such as hydrogen complex charging station, package, and mobile. Accordingly, the study on the safety demonstration of the charging station and related regulations should be compromised. The purpose of this study is to collect monitoring data during charging according to the distinct four seasons in Korea, and to use it as safety demonstration data by analyzing the charging status, charging rate and charging time during charging.
