Small satellites represent an emerging opportunity to realize a wide range of space missions at lower cost and faster delivery, compared to traditional spacecraft. However, small platforms, such as CubeSats, shall increase their actual capabilities. Miniaturized electric propulsion systems can provide the satellite with the key capability of moving in space. The level of readiness of miniaturized electric propulsion systems is low although many concepts have been developed. The present research intends to build a flexible test platform for the assessment of selected small propulsion systems in relevant environment at laboratory level. Main goal of the research is to analyze the mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and chemical interactions of propulsion systems with the modern CubeSat-technology and to assess the performance of the integrated platform. The test platform is a 6U CubeSat hosting electric propulsion systems, providing mechanical, electrical and data interfaces, able to handle a variety of electric propulsion systems, thanks to the ability to regulate and distribute electric power, to exchange data according to several protocols, and to provide different mechanical layouts. The test platform is ready to start the first verification campaign. The paper describes the detailed design of the platform and the main results of the AIV activities.

KARI has jointly developed COMS bipropellant propulsion system with EADS Astrium, UK. It is well known at the moment about American or even German efforts for space development and space propulsion activities. On the contrary UK's capability for space development hasn't been recognised well in Korea. The major space activities relevant to the development of chemical and electric propulsion systems in UK, in reference to our space propulsion programme are addressed in detail. In addition the collaboration in prospect between two countries is proposed.

In vibration analysis of ships, the principle aim is to determine the natural frequencies and excitation frequencies, and use this information to avoid resonances and vibration damage. The simplest method is to prevent resonance conditions, which is effective as long as the natural frequencies and excitation frequencies can be regarded as independent from environmental conditions. For ships that use electric propulsion systems, the sources of vibration are reduced compared with those caused by a diesel engine or other combustion-based propulsion systems. However, the frequency spectrum of these vibrations may be different; therefore, to understand the characteristics of the electric propulsion, we also should investigate how the ship responds to these vibrations. We focused on a 1,000-ton deadweight (DWT) ocean-research vessel using an electric propulsion system and analyzed the response to vibration.

As global environmental regulations have been strengthened, the eco-friendly market has grown rapidly. In the field of aircraft, research on electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft that can enter city centers and perform personal air transportation using electric propulsion is ongoing. For aircraft using electric propulsion methods to operate reliably, electric power thrust systems are a key factor. Electric aircraft require a high power density for propulsion systems with strict limits on volume and weight. The efficient control of inverter systems is essential for achieving high power density. Therefore, in this paper, the characteristics of inverters and motors were analyzed through simulations based on the space vector pulse width modulation (PWM) and discontinuous PWM methods for controlling inverter systems.

본 논문에서는 전기동력 추진기관을 사용하는 비행체의 추진시스템에 대하여 분석하고, 무게분석을 통하여 PAV의 전기동력시스템을 살펴보았다. 현재 1,000 kg의 PAV를 개발할 경우 PEMFC와 리튬전지를 조합한 추진기관이 내연기관을 대체할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 내연기관을 대체하기 위해서는 연료전지 출력밀도 2.5 kW/kg, 배터리 에너지밀도 0.75 kWh/kg 이상의 성능이 요구된다.

본 논문에서는 소형 무인기의 전기추진 시스템에 대한 모델링 및 전력 시뮬레이션에 관하여 기술하였다. 각 전력원 모델링 및 시뮬레이션을 위해 Matlab/Simulink를 사용하였고, 연료전지와 배터리를 주 전력원으로 사용하는 200 W급 전기추진 시스템에 대하여 4시간 30분의 비행 시험결과와 시뮬레이션 한 결과를 비교하였다. 그 결과, 시뮬레이션은 각 전력원의 성능 및 동특성을 적절히 모사하였고, 이를 통해 다른 급의 전기추진 시스템에 대한 전력특성변화를 예측하는 도구로 활용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 PAV에 쓰이는 전기추진 시스템에 대해서 기술하고 동력시스템에 대한 분석, 무게산정을 통하여 PAV 추진시스템으로서의 전기추진시스템을 살펴보았다. 연료전지와 배터리를 같이 사용 하는 전기추진의 경우 아직은 내연기관만큼 성능을 내진 못하지만 에너지 밀도가 약 0.75 kW$^*$hr/kg, 출력밀도는 약 2.5 kW/kg 정도까지 성능이 나온다면 기존의 내연기관을 대체할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 연료전지와 배터리 등을 이용한 친환경적인 전기추진 방식은 요즘 주된 관심사인 소음 공해 문제를 해결할 수 있는 훌륭한 해결책이 될 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

Hybrid electric propulsion systems (H-EPSs) are an intermediate step for integrated full electric propulsion warships. H-EPSs are a dynamic combination of mechanical and electrical propulsion systems to achieve the required mission performances. The system modes could adapt to meet the requirement of the various operation conditions of a warship. This paper presents a configuration and operating modes of H-EPSs considering the operation conditions of a destroyer class warship. The system has three propulsion modes, namely, motoring mode, generating mode [power take off (PTO) mode], and mechanical mode. The PTO mode requires a careful fuel efficiency analysis because the fuel consumption rate of propulsion engines may be low compared with the generator's engines depending on the loading power. Therefore, the calculation of fuel consumption according to the operating modes is performed in this study. Although the economics of the PTO mode depends on system cases, it has an advantage in that it ensures the reliability of electric power in case of blackout or minimum generator operation.

도심환경에서 저공해/저소음으로 운항이 요구되는 eVTOL 항공기는 왕복행정엔진이나 터빈엔진과 같은 전통적인 추진시스템이 아닌 대부분 배터리를 이용한 전기추진시스템을 동력원으로 사용한다. 이에 따라 전기추진시스템에 대한 인증제도 마련 및 전기추진시스템의 안전성 확보방안이 중요한 이슈가 되고있다. 미국의 경우 전기추진시스템을 인증하기 위해 FAR Part 33에 준하는 특수기술기준을 발행하였고 유럽의 경우 전기추진시스템의 인증을 위해 다양한 특별조건을 제정하였다. 따라서 국내에도 미국, 유럽에 맞춰가며 eVTOL 항공기 전기추진시스템 기술기준에 대한 대비가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 특별조건 중 전기/하이브리드 추진 시스템의 기술기준인 SC E-19를 분석하였고 기존 항공기 안전성 평가 절차인 ARP 4761에 항공기 수준에서 적용 되어야하는 SC E-19 기술기준을 적용시킴으로써 항공기에 장착하는 전기추진시스템의 안전성 확보 방안을 제안하였다. 마지막으로 Ehang 184 전기추진시스템의 사례연구를 통해 제안한 전기추진시스템의 안전성 확보 방안이 항공기 수준에서 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.
