According to Electricity Acceleration Law of Rural Area recently, the needs for replacement of a small scale diesel power generation facility which supplied electricity to 10-50 households Remote Islands has been revealed due to high operating and maintenance cost of Diesel Power Generation. Optimization of electric power system for Small Remote Islands must be made considering the economics, reliability and stability as power sources and estimation of total construction cost of those power stations. For its purpose, an assessment of power generation options such as Photovoltaic, Fuel cell, Wind-hybrid was implemented, economic evaluation of power supply shows the Photovoltaic, Fuel Cell for few household's islands and Diesel, Wind-hybrid for more inhabited islands. Power supplied by Diesel shows the best response to increasing electric demand and system reliability even with its lower economic value. Those who are in charge of power planning have to pay attention to system reliability, stability and operating characteristics of candidate's power supply besides its economics.

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.

Fuel cell power generation system, unlike conventional energy sources, converts chemical energy into electrical energy through electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. This paper presents the control of interleaved multi-phase boost converter as the feasibility study on small-scale prototype electric railway vehicle application using fuel cell generation system. PSIM simulation program is to be used to implement the modeling of the electrical fuelcell as well as traction motor control with interleaved multi-phase boost converter. Comparing the input current ripple rate, two-phase interleaved boost converter is less than the boost converter. But the more multi-phase not less proportional to the ripple factor. we confirmed that the amplitude of the input current ripple rate of converter depend on duty ratio.

This paper presents a novel high frequency transformer linked full-bridge type soft-switching phase-shift PWM control scheme DC-DC power converter, which can be used as power conditioner fur small-scale fuel cell power generation system. Using full-bridge soft-switching DC-DC converter topology makes possible to use low voltage high performance MOSFETs to achieve high efficiency of the power conditioner. A tapped inductor filter is implemented in the proposed soft-switching converter topology to achieve soft-switching PWM constant high frequency operation for a wide load variation range. to minimize circulating and idling currents without using additional resonant circuit and auxiliary power switching devices. The practical effectiveness of the proposed soft-switching DC-DC converter is verified in laboratory level experiment with 1 kW 100kHz breadboard setup using power MOSFETs. Actual efficiency of 94-96$\%$ is obtained for the wide load range

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have been under development for a variety of power generation applications. Power system sizes considered range from small watt-size units (e.g., 50-W portable devices) to very large multi-megawatt systems (e.g., 500-MW base load power plants). Because of the reversibility of its operation, the SOFC has also been developed to operate under reverse or electrolysis mode for hydrogen production from steam (In this case, the cell is referred to as solid oxide electrolysis cell or SOEC.). Potential applications for the SOEC include on-site and large-scale hydrogen production. One critical requirement for practical uses of these systems is long-term performance stability under specified operating conditions. Intrinsic material properties and operating environments can have significant effects on cell performance stability, thus performance degradation rate. This paper discusses potential applications of the SOFC/SOEC, technological status and current research and development (R&D) direction, and certain aspects of long-term performance degradation in the operation of SOFCs/SOECs for power generation/hydrogen production.

최근 급속한 산업 발달과 생활수준의 향상으로 인하여 전력 수요가 점차 증대되고 있고 이러한 전력수요 급증에 의해 화석연료 의존도가 높은 우리나라의 경우 국제환경 규제에 의한 온실가스 배출량의 감축 및 동결은 바로 산업 활동의 위축을 가져오게 된다. 이에 따라 환경을 국가의 산업생산 활동과 연계시키고자 하는 선진국과의 경쟁에서 많은 어려움이 발생하고 있고 이에 대한 대책으로 대체 에너지의 개발이 세계적으로 큰 관심거리가 되고 있다. 이러한 새로운 발전방식 중 비교적 용량이 작은 소규모의 발전설비는 태양광발전 (Photovoltaic generation), 풍력발전 (Wind power generation), 연료전지발전 (Fuel cell generation) 등이 있다. 그중 실용화에 있어서 중요한 요소인 연속운전 및 높은 발전효율, 장기적인 내구성을 고려할 때 가장 주목을 받는 것이 연료전지이다. 연료전지 기술은 화석연료 사용에 따른 공해요인의 제거 및 전력산업 구조조정에 따른 분산형 전원으로서 개발 및 보급 가능성이 큰 새로운 형태의 발전방식으로 주목받고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 연료전지에서 발생하는 직류전원을 입력으로 하여 최종적으로 우리 일상생활에서 사용하는 교류전원을 얻는 데 필요한 전력변환 회로를 설계하여 연료전지 발전시스템을 연구 및 구성하였다.

전력계통의 전원설비 방식은 대규모 집중전원방식과 소규모 분산전원방식으로 크게 분류할 수 있으나 지금까지의 우리나라의 전원방식은 대규모집중방식 위주로 전원계획을 수립하여 왔다. 그러나 최근에 신에너지 전원설비인 태양광, 연료전지 및 풍력발전 등의 환경 친화적인 전원방식이 급증하고 있는 추세이고 국가적으로도 이러한 전원설비를 장려하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 신에너지 전원방식은 독자적으로 모든 부하를 충당할 수 없으며 고장시 전원공급에 차질이 발생할 우려가 있어 전력계통과의 연계가 필수적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 여러 형태의 신에너지 전원설비 중 풍력발전시스템을 저압 및 특별고압계통에 연계하는 경우에 발생하는 보호문제에 대해서 시뮬레이션과 분석을 통해 각종 사고에 대한 보호방식과 협조방안에 대한 방안을 제시하였다.

This paper presents a novel prototype of the utility­interactive voltage source type sinewave pulse modulated power inverter using a high-frequency flyback transformer link. The proposed power conditioner circuit for the solar photovoltaic generation and small scale fuel cell has an isolation function due to the safety of the power processing system, which is more cost effective and acceptable for the small-scale distributed renewal energy conditioning and processing systems. The discontinuous current mode(DCM) of this power processing conversion circuit is applied to implement a simple circuit topology and pulse modulated control scheme. Its operation principle is described on the basis of simulation evaluations and theoretical considerations. The simulation results obtained herein prove that the proposed inverter outputs with sinusoidal waveforms and unity power factor currents are synchronized to the main voltage in utility power source grid. In this paper, the soft switching topology of high­frequency linked sinewave pulse modulation inverter is proposed and discussed.
