In this paper, a mathematical modeling was developed to simulate 1kW class air cooled Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell(PEMFC) system. The proposed modeling was conducted under SIMULINK based environment. The model ing was developed based on the thermodynamic and chemical equilibrium. The objective is to design and implement the entire fuel cell system model ing including the system controller modeling. The fuel cell process and the control system modeling should have to be connected with each other simultaneously， therefore the two types of modeling influences each other when the system simulator run. The fuel cell modeling libraries are simulated using the SIMULINK under the thermodynamic and chemical equilibrium base. The PID controller application was designed and developed to test the process modeling and verify it. This the prototype development of the fuel cell system to design and test more complicate fuel cell systems, like the residential power generation system. The simulation results was compared to the real PEMFC system performance. We have achieved the reasonable accordance with the Lab test and the simulation results.

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.

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.

Fuel cell with high electric efficiency has many probabilities of commercial use. Especially, proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) which is a low temperature fuel cell and has less influence on $CO_2$ concentration is considered the power generation system of small building and household. We calculated the optimal operational plans of 1 kW household PEMFC power system based on the daily electricity and heat demand patterns of Japan and Korea. Calculated results show that the economic feasibility of PEMFC power system is very sensitive to the cost policy of electricity and natural gas.

Design performance of hybrid power generation systems, comprised of a gas turbine and an atmospheric pressure molten carbonate fuel cell, has been analyzed. Two different configurations were analyzed and performances were compared. A reference calculation was performed for the design condition of a system under development and simulated results agreed well with the published data. Performances were analyzed in terms of main design parameters including turbine inlet temperature, operating temperature of the fuel cell and pressure ratio. Also examined were the effects of fuel utilization factor and heat exchanger effectiveness. It was found that the relationship between the turbine inlet temperature and the fuel cell temperature should be critically examined to evaluate achievable design performance. Considering current state of the art technologies, a system with the combustor located before the turbine could achieve higher efficiency and specific power than the other system with the combustor located after the turbine.

Fuel cell systems for medium duty truck require high power demands under driving. Since high power demands results in significant heat generation, thermal management is crucial for the performance and durability of medium duty truck. Therefore, various configurations of dual stacks with cooling systems are investigated to understand appropriate thermal management conditions. The simulation model consists of a dynamic fuel cell stack model, a cooling system model equipped with a controller, and the mounted controller applies a feedback controller to control the operating temperature. Also, In order to minimize parasitic power, the comparison of the cooling systems involved in the arrangement was divided into three case. As a result, this study compares the reaction of fuel cells to the placement of the cooling system under a variety of load conditions to find the best placement method.

연료전지 응용분야에 대한 실험연구는 연료전지 성능향상 등의 기초연구와 더불어 매우 중요하며 차세대 동력원으로써 상용화되기 위해서는 이러한 연구가 함께 병행되어야 한다. 본 실험은 고분자 전해질형 연료전지(PEM Fuel Cell)의 시스템을 차량에 적용할 수 있도록 연료전지스택의 기본특성 및 rpm에 따른 축출력과 효율 특성을 알아 보았으며 자연대류 공기방식과 강제 공급방식간의 전압, 전류, 출력특성을 비교 분석하였다. 본 실험을 통해 자연대류방식의 경우 반응공기량의 제한으로 인하여 항상 전류한계 성향이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었으며 강제공기 공급방식은 성능면에서 자연대류 공급방식보다 우수하였다. 이것은 자연대류 방식과는 달리 공기유량 및 속도의 증가로 인하여 공기가 공기극에서 원활히 반응하였기 때문이다. 축출력에 따른 효율변화는 조합시스템의 경우 축출력이 낮아질수록 연료전지 효율과 달리 현저히 감소하였으며 이는 모터가 효율이 낮은 범위에서 구동되었기 때문이다. 연료전지 자동차는 축출력과 스택의 효율을 고려한 운전이 이루어져야 하며 스택의 효율이 35%-45% 범위인 0.55-0.75V/cell에서 이루어져야한다.
