Most of today's large-scale cloud systems and enterprise data centers are distributing resources to improve scalability and resource utilization. NVMe-over-Fabric protocol allows submitting NVMe commands to a remote NVMe SSD through RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) network. It is attracting attention recently because it is possible to construct a disaggregation storage system with low latency through the protocol. However, the current I/O stack of NVMe-over-Fabric has an inefficient structure for maintaining compatibility with the traditional I/O stack. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new mechanism to reduce I/O latency and CPU overhead by modifying I/O path of NVMe-over-Fabric to pass through legacy block layer. According to the performance evaluation results, the proposed mechanism is able to reduce the I/O latency and CPU overhead by up to 22% and 24% compared to the existing NVMe-over-Fabrics protocol, respectively.

The fuel cell market is expected to grow rapidly. Therefore, it is necessary to scale up fuel cells for buildings, power generation, and ships. A multi-stack system can be an effective way to expand the capacity of a fuel cell. Multi-stack fuel cell systems are better than single-stack systems in terms of efficiency, reliability, durability and maintenance. In this research, we developed a residential fuel cell stack and system model that generates electricity using the fuel cell-photovoltaic hybrid system. The efficiency and hydrogen consumption of the fuel cell system were calculated according to the three proposed power distribution methods (equivalent, Daisy-chain, and optimal method). As a result, the optimal power distribution method increases the efficiency of the fuel cell system and reduces hydrogen consumption. The more frequently the multi-stack fuel cell system is exposed to lower power levels, the greater the effectiveness of the optimal power distribution method.

Current display manufacturing processes apply thermal treatment of glass backplanes widely for hydrogen degassing, crystallization of thin-films, tempering, forming, and precompaction. Estimation of the characteristics of transient heating stages and thermal non-uniformities on a single glass substrate or in a stack of glasses are extremely helpful to understand non-homogeneity of mechanical and electronic features of nano/micro structures of end products. Based on simple heat transfer models and using an electric muffle furnace, temperature variations in a glass stack were predicted and measured for glass backplanes of $1.5{\times}1.85m^2$ in size and 0.7 mm in thickness. Except for the period of putting glass backplanes into the furnace, thermal radiation was the major heating mechanism for the treatment and theoretical predictions agreed well to the experimental temperatures on the backplanes. Using the theoretical model, thermal fields for a glass stack of glass-size, $2.2{\times}2.5m^2$, and of the number of sheets, 1 to 12, were calculated for practical design and manufacturing of the muffle furnace for large-scale displays, e.g. up to $8^{th}$ generation.

An experimental study on scale-up of Electro-electrodialysis(EED) to increase the efficiency of HI decomposition section in the IS(Iodine-Sulfur) process was carried out. The EED stack extends the effective area of the membrane to 20 times of that formerly used in a single EED unit cell. The experiment was carried out using HIx solution($HI:H_2O:I_2=1:8.4{\sim}9:1.85{\sim}1.9$) at $100^{\circ}C$ and various solution flow rates of 20, 30, 40 and 50 cc/min. The increased HI molality in catholyte after one-pass throughout from the EED stack was 3 mol/kg-$H_2O$, 2.2 mol/kg-$H_2O$, 2 mol/kg-$H_2O$ and 1.37 mol/kg-$H_2O$ at 20, 30, 40 and 50 cc/min, respectively. These values satisfied the target of HI molality(the increase of HI molality: 2 mol/kg-$H_2O$) in the IS process for hydrogen production of 20 L/hr.

This study presents channel design of a CDI stack to achieve high removal efficiency in a large scale by applying parallel flow structure with a concentrated stream. The flow pattern in the stack was simulated by COMSOL Multiphysics program. To prove the salt removal performance, a unit cell and 20 cell stacks were tested at a flow rate condition of 18 ml/min and 360 ml/min, respectively. The removal efficiencies of the unit cell and the 20 cell stacks were obtained as 70.8 % and 75.6 %, respectively, with 100 mg/L sodium chloride solution. During the operation of cell test, water pressures of unit cell and 20 cell pair stack maintained in the ranges of 1.1 psi and 1.3~1.5 psi, respectively. It was demonstrated that the parallel cell structure with two concentrated streams can be employed in a large scale CDI for salt removal.

To develop domestic IGCC gasification technology, a gasification test bed with a capacity of 20 tons/day has been designed. The main components of the test bed designed are a coal pulverizing and feeding facility, a gasifier, a syngas cooler, a gas treatment unit, oxygen and nitrogen tanks, and flare stack. For wide applications to the development of advanced coal gasification technology, many special functions have been given to it such as syngas recirculation, char recirculation, and multiple stage gasification. The test bed will be used for testing the characteristics of various types of coals, deriving optimum conditions for efficient gasifier operation and trouble shooting for the Korea IGCC demonstration plant. It will also be applied as a useful tool to develop scale-up design technology of IGCC and proceed to commercialization.

전세계는 $CO_2$ 규제강화와 에너지의 효율적 사용에 대한 사회적, 경제적 요구가 증대되면서 친환경 에너지 설비와 지능형 전력망(smart grid)가 크게 예상되고 있다. 이에 따라 기존 내연기관에 근거한 발전산업 및 자동차 산업은 필연적으로 청정에너지 기반의 전기에너지로 점진적으로 대체될 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 청정 발전 시스템의 보급 확대와 기존 에너지의 효율적 사용을 위해서 2차전지 기반의 전력저장 기술과 연료전지 기반의 분산발전 기술이 향후 미래에너지 산업의 근간이 되는 중요한 기술들로 부상하게 되었다. 아연/공기전지는 현재는 연료전지 개념의 1차전지에 기술수준이 머물러 있지만 향후 미래에는 기존의 리튬이온전지의 낮은 에너지밀도를 극복할 수 있는 미래 2차전지 기술의 하나로 평가받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 연료전지 개념의 아연/공기전지에 대하여 기존의 수소연료전지 기반의 분산발전 분야에 적용한다면 약 1/10 이하의 가격으로 조기에 시장진입이 가능할 것으로 판단하여 사전 타당성 연구 및 대면적화를 위한 기초 설계인자 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과, 소형 단전지부터 약 800cm2까지의 대면적 단전지까지 대면적화를 위한 기초연구를 실시하였으며, 4개의 cell로 구성된 최고출력 90W급 전해질 순환형 미니스택 시스템을 구성하여 발전시스템으로서의 가능성과 문제점 등을 도출하였다. 이러한 시험결과를 바탕으로 25개의 cell로 구성된 약 1kW 급 스택을 설계하여 향후 소형 발전시스템을 제작하고자 하였다.

10 nm thick Ni layers were deposited on 200 nm $SiO_2/Si$ substrates using an e-beam evaporator. Then, 60 nm or 20 nm thick ${\alpha}$-Si:H layers were grown at low temperature (<$200^{\circ}C$) by a Catalytic-CVD. NiSi layers were already formed instantaneously during Cat-CVD process regardless of the thickness of the $\alpha$-Si. The resulting changes in sheet resistance, microstructure, phase, chemical composition, and surface roughness with the additional rapid thermal annealing up to $500^{\circ}C$ were examined using a four point probe, HRXRD, FE-SEM, TEM, AES, and SPM, respectively. The sheet resistance of the NiSi layer was 12${\Omega}$/□ regardless of the thickness of the ${\alpha}$-Si and kept stable even after the additional annealing process. The thickness of the NiSi layer was 30 nm with excellent uniformity and the surface roughness was maintained under 2 nm after the annealing. Accordingly, our result implies that the low temperature Cat-CVD process with proposed films stack sequence may have more advantages than the conventional CVD process for nano scale NiSi applications.
