- Fuel Cell Principles and Applications (EE6306)
-
□ Classification: Graduate Lecture (대학원 강의)
□ Opening: Spring semester
※ Professor Lee and another instructor will take turns teaching this class.
□ Course Description
This lecture is an intermediate course that is designed to offer basic knowledge about fuel cells and fuel cell power generation systems. During this course, students will learn about the (a) technological trend of fuel cells and their applications, (b) basic knowledge of thermodynamics and electrochemistry, (c) materials of fuel cells, (d) features of various fuel cells, (e) system design and process simulation, and (f) BOP (balance of plant) components of fuel cell power generation systems. Various types of fuel cells will be discussed in this course; however, greater focus will be given to solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology. For a better understanding of the structure of the fuel cell stack, students are expected to handle a real fuel cell stack, exploring its internal structure.

- Advanced Analysis of Energy System (EE6302)

□ Classification: Graduate Lecture (대학원 강의)
□ Opening: Fall semester
□ Course Description
This lecture is an advanced course that is designed to help students analyze energy systems in a more rigorous way, from exergy, economic, and environmental perspectives.
This course consists of three parts, (a) an exergy analysis, quantifying thermodynamic inefficiencies, (b) an economic analysis, calculating the levelized cost of the desired product (e.g., the electricity or hydrogen), and (c) life cycle assessment (LCA), quantifying the environmental burden of the analyzed system covering its whole life cycle.
During this course, students may use process-simulation software (e.g., EBSILONProfessional) in calculating exergy and exergetic variables, may use spreadsheet software in developing their own economic analyzer, and may use commercial LCA software in calculating environmental impact.
It is highly encouraged that students bring their own system to be analyzed from their practical field of research.
