This paper describes the design and integration of the wind- fuel cell hybrid system. The hybrid system components included a wind turbine, an electrolyzer (for generation of H2), a PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell), storage system and BOP (Balance of Plant) system. The energy input is entirely provided by a wind turbine. A DC-DC converter controls the power input to the electrolyzer, which produces hydrogen and oxygen form water. The hydrogen used the fuel for the PEMFC. The hydrogen is compressed and stored in high pressure tank by hydrogen gas booster system.

Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert the chemical reaction energy directly into the electrical energy. In a typical fuel cell, gaseous fuel is fed continuously to the anode(negative electrode) compartment and the oxidant(i.e, oxygen from air) is fed continuously to the cathode(positive electrode) compartment; the electrochemical reactions take place at the electrodes to produce an electric current. Many of the operational characteristics of fuel cell systems are superior to those of conventional power generation system because of good efficiency, environmental protection, safty, modularity etc. From those reasons, the fuel cells are considered to be the solution to the future problem of energy conversion. The objective of this paper is to introduce the technical status of fuel cell technologies and our national project for the development of the phosporic acid fuel cell.

The fuel cell which converts directly chemical energy of fuel into electric energy has higher efficiency than the conventional power generation which involves several additional processes. Especially, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) of which the electrolyte is a thin proton conductive polymer membrane is affordable for portable power applications and small-scale distributed power generation including household and small building. It is very important to not only increase the efficiency of FC itself but determine the optimal operation mode. The optimal operational planning of lkW household PEMFC system based on the daily electricity and heat demand patterns was performed. The estimated economic gain was up to 20% by adoption of PEMFC system.

The air flow supplied to a fuel cell system is one of the most significant factors in determining fuel efficiency. The conventional method of controlling the air flow is to fix the oxygen supply at an estimated constant rate for optimal efficiency. However, the actual optimal point can deviated from the pre-set value due to temperature, load conditions and so on. In this paper, the maximum efficiency point tracking (MEPT) algorithm is proposed for finding the optimal air supply rate in real time to maximize the net-power generation of fuel cell systems. The fixed step MEPT algorithm has slow dynamics, thus it affects the overall efficiency. As a result, the variable step MEPT algorithm is proposed to compensate for this problem instead of a fixed one. The complete small signal model of a PEM Fuel cell system is developed to perform a stability analysis and to present a design guideline. For a design example, a 1kW PEM fuel cell system with a DSP 56F807 (Motorola Inc) was built and tested using the proposed MEPT algorithm. This control algorithm is very effective for a soft current change load like a grid connected system or a hybrid electric vehicle system with a secondary energy source.

최근 환경오염원의 배출이 적고, 에너지 효율이 높은 연료전지에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 특히 고온동작 연료전지의 경우 대용량 연료전지발전시스템(FCGS, Fuel Cell Generation System)으로 전력계통에 연계되고 있다. 그러나 대용량 FCGS는 계통의 각종외란(불평형전류, 고조파, 서지 등)에 의하여 보호기기의 오동작, 제어소자의 소손현상 및 제어신호 헌팅현상이 발생하여 이에 대한 대책이 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전력분석장비를 이용하여 대용량 FCGS에서 발생하는 실 계통 문제점을 분석하고, PSCAD/EMTDC, ETAP, P-SIM 소프트웨어를 이용하여, FCGS설비 및 FCGS의 접지계통과 불평형전류, 고조파, 서지와 같은 계통외란현상의 모델링을 수행하였다. 또한, 각 계통외란에 대한 방지대책을 수립하기 위하여, 불평형전류를 줄이기 위한 중성점접지저항기(NGR, Neutral Ground Resister)운용알고리즘, 고조파를 기준 범위 이내로 줄이기 위한 고조파필터 설계알고리즘, 서지로부터 설비를 보호하기 위한 SPD(Surge Protective Device) 운용알고리즘, 적절한 접지계통을 적용하기 위한 접지계통 운용알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이를 검증하기 위하여 상기에서 제시한 모델링을 이용하여, FCGS의 주요 장해요인들을 모의한 결과, 본 논문에서 제안된 대용량 FCGS의 계통외란방지알고리즘의 유용성을 확인하였다.

FCEV uses electric energy generated from the reaction between Hydrogen and Oxygen in fuel cell stack as driving force. As fossil fuels are exhausted, fuel cell is regarded as a potent substitute for next generation energy source, and thus, most of car-makers make every efforts to develop fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). In addition, fuel cell is also beneficial in aspect of environment, because only clean water is produced during chemical reaction process instead of harmful exhausted gas. Generally, Hydrogen is supplied from high-pressured fuel tank, and air blower (or compressor) supplies Oxygen by pressurizing ambient air. Air blower which is driven by high speed motor consumes about $7{\sim}8%$ of energy generated from fuel cell stack. Therefore, the efficiency of an air blower is directly linked with the overall performance of FCEV. This study will present developing process of an air blower and its consisting parts respectively.

고체 산화물 연료전지의 연료로 암모니아를 사용하는 것은 고효율, 환경 친화성, 보관 및 운송의 용이성으로 인해 주목받고 있다. 암모니아 활용 SOFC 시스템의 효율을 더욱 높이려면 시스템의 비효율적인 구성 요소를 이해해야 하며 이를 위해 엑서지 분석을 수행하였다.본 연구에서는 단순 연료전지 시스템(FC), 연료극 재순환 시스템(RC-FC) 및 수분 제거 재순환 시스템(RC-WR-FC)의 세 가지 시스템에 대해 엑서지 분석을 수행하였다. FC, RC-FC 및 RC-WR-FC의 엑서지 효율은 각각 48.7%, 51.6% 및 58.4%이었으며, 세 시스템 모두에서 SOFC 스택은 엑서지 파괴의 주요 원인이었다. 또한 버너, 공기 열 교환기 및 냉각기/응축기와 같이 낮은 효율을 가진 부품들을 재구성한다면 효율을 높일 수 있다.
