Reversible solid oxide fuel cell (ReSOC) system was integrated with waste steam for electrical energy storage in distributed energy storage application. Waste steam was utilized as external heat in SOEC mode for higher hydrogen production efficiency. Three system configurations were analyzed to evaluate techno-economic performance. The first system is a simple configuration to minimize the cost of balance of plant. The second system is the more complicated configuration with heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The third system is featured with HRSG and fuel recirculation by blower. Lumped models were used for system performance analyses. The ReSOC stack was characterized by applying area specific resistance value at fixed operating pressure and temperature. In economical assessment, the levelized costs of energy storage (LCOS) were calculated for three system configurations based on capital investment. The system lifetime was assumed 20 years with ReSOC stack replaced every 5 years, inflation rate of 2%, and capacity factor of 80%. The results showed that the exergy round-trip efficiency of system 1, 2, 3 were 47.9%, 48.8%, and 52.8% respectively. The high round-trip efficiency of third system compared to others is attributed to the remarkable reduction in steam requirement and hydrogen compression power owning to fuel recirculation. The result from economic calculation showed that the LCOS values of system 1, 2, 3 were 3.46 ¢/kWh, 3.43 ¢/kWh, and 3.14 ¢/kWh, respectively. Even though the systems 2 and 3 have expensive HRSG, they showed higher round-trip efficiencies and significant reduction in boiler and hydrogen compressor cost.

In this study, a thermal storage performance and characteristics of daily operation were investigated when the air and the liquid were heated simultaneously by a hybrid solar air-water heater that can make hot water as well as heated air. The hybrid solar air-water heater is kind of a flat plate solar collector that can make hot water and heated air by installing air channel beneath absorber plate of traditional flat plate solar collector for hot water. As a result of daily operation, maximum water temperature reached in a thermal storage was shown $44^{\circ}C$ on 73kg/h of air mass flow rate and about $40^{\circ}C$ on 176kg/h of air mass flow rate. Thus, the necessity of heating water in thermal storage by operating only liquid side was confirmed when the temperature of liquid in thermal storage is lower than we need. In case of efficiency investigated on daily operation, the thermal efficiency of the liquid side was decreased with increment of the inlet liquid temperature and decrement of the solar radiation, but efficiency of the air side was increased with increment of inlet liquid temperature difference as the traditional solar air heater. Total thermal efficiency of the collector was shown from 65.85% to 78.23% and it was decreased with increment of the inlet liquid temperature and decrement of solar radiation same as the traditional system.

In a hot water system using solar energy, solar heat is not simply collected by the heat collecting plate, but by heat exchange between the solar collector (flat or vacuum type) and the hot water storage tank. Therefore, the amount of collected solar energy depends on the hot water usage patterns that determine the temperature of the thermal storage tank. Also, if the temperature of the hot water stored in the storage tank exceeds the dangerous temperature during the summer, the heat must be released for safety. If the temperature of the hot water in the storage tank is low, it is necessary to heat by the auxiliary heat source. In this study, three buildings are defined as hotel, swimming pool, and school facilities. And we calculated the released heat energy, auxiliary heat source, and pure storage heat energy based on different hot water usage patterns and installation angle of the solar collectors.

Static compound parabolic collectors (CPCs) have advantages such as ease for fabrication and lower cost compared with other concentrating collectors. In this study, thermal performance analysis of CPC employing heat storage tank was carried out. The clearness index and capacity of heat storage tank are taken as the main parameters for numerical simulation. The effects of the parameters on the hourly and daily system performances ncluding the useful energy, heat loss, and collector efficiency were numerically investigated. Results showed that the system has a potential for efficient recovery of solar thermal energy.

A computer model of a high efficiency refrigeration system equipped with heat storage for reverse cycle-hot gas defrost (the stored heat is used during defrost cycle of the system) is presented. The model was developed based on both theoretical and empirical equations for the compressor, evaporator, condenser and the heat storage equipment. Simulations of the prototype system were carried out to investigate refrigeration system performance under various operating conditions during refrigeration cycles. The simulations of the evaporator during defrost cycles at 30 and $40^{\circ}C$ hot gas refrigerant temperature were also performed which resulted on shorter defrost time but only slight increase in defrost efficiency. These information on energy efficiency and the defrost time required are important in order to avoid excessive parasitic load and temperature rise of the refrigerated room.

The charge operation of an ice storage system has been analyzed in this paper. The thermal characteristics of major components of the ice storage system. i.e., the refrigerator and the ice storage tank are evaluated from performance tests on an existing ice storage system. Based on the measured data for thermal characteristics, a simulation is carried out for the charge operation and the effect of the refrigerator size on the system performance is investigated. The results indicate that the larger the refrigerator size for a given storage capacity, the lower the inlet temperature of the ice storage tank so that the lower the efficiency of charge operation. It is also found that there exists an optimal size of the refrigerator with which the ice storage at the end of the charge operation is maximized, but the complete charge is not possible even with the optimally sized refrigerator. This leads to the result that the design capacity of the storage tank should be larger than the required amount of cold energy for the daytime cooling considering the practically chargeable amount of cold energy during the nighttime. Where the cooling load sharing of the storage is 40%, the nominal capacity of an ice storage tank needs to be larger than the required storage amount by 30%.

태양에너지를 활용하여 전력을 생산하는 시스템인 Solar water battery는 광전기화학전지와 에너지저장시스템을 결합한 것으로 추가적인 외부 전압 없이 태양에너지의 전환과 저장을 동시에 할 수 있다. Solar water battery는 광전극, 저장전극 그리고 상대전극으로 구성되어 있고, 이들의 선택과 조합은 시스템의 성능과 효율에 있어 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 Solar water battery의 구성요소들을 변화시켜 시스템에 미치는 영향을 알고자 하였다. 상대전극이 방전 시 미치는 영향, 광전극과 저장전극의 전극 재료, 전해질의 종류에 따른 태양에너지 전환 효율과 저장 용량에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 이들의 최적화된 구성(TiO2 : NaFe-PB : Pt foil)에서 15시간동안의 광조사 후의 방전 용량이 72.393 mAh g-1으로 시스템 구성 조건에 따라 광전환/저장 효율이 크게 영향을 받음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한, 유기 오염물질을 광전극 반응조내 전해질에 첨가하여 광전하를 효율적으로 분리시킴으로써 광전류 증가시켰으며, 이로 인해 저장용량이 향상되고, 동시에 오염물질도 분해시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이처럼 Solar water battery는 추가적인 외부 전압이 필요없는 새로운 친환경 태양에너지 전환/저장 시스템이며, 나아가 수처리에도 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
