There are a lot of municipalities that do not grasp even by the current state of having public facilities though various management&maintenance researches have been done. Therefore this research aimed to make it to the foundation of the maintenance management plan establishment of the municipality in the future through investigating, analyzing the current state of management&maintenance of the public facilities. Tn the beginning, I collected data through a questionnaire of the community facilities of the municipality. To read the current state of the management condition of the object facilities from the collection data, I applied the radar chart that used the deviation value of the evaluation index and PPM matrix. As a result of the analysis, I discovered that there is a municipality thought to having efficient facilities maintenance management.

In order to meet the current emission regulations (EURO-6), it is necessary to significantly reduce $CH_4$ and $NO_X$ emissions. This study investigated the effect of a reduction in the valve overlap on the combustion and emission characteristics of a hydrogen-compressed natural gas engine under a part-load operating condition. The combustion and emission characteristics were analyzed for each fuel using the original camshaft and an altered camshaft with reduced valve overlap. The results showed that the thermal efficiency was decreased and the fuel flow was increased when using the altered camshaft. The $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ emissions were increased as a result of the reduced thermal efficiency. Under lean operating conditions, the $NO_X$ emission was decreased compared with one of the conventional camshaft. Thus, under the same fuels and operating conditions, it had a harmful influence on the emission characteristics and thermal efficiency.

최근 고유가에 따른 발전비용 증가와 교토의정서 발휘로 인한 $CO_2$ 저감의무 등 환경보전이라는 사회적 요구와 맞물려 새로운 신재생에너지 분야에 관심이 고조되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 신재생에너지로 대표되는 풍력, 태양광, 연료전지 등을 이용하는 발전방식은 저용량의 발전으로 대규모 집중형 전원이 아니 전력 수요지 근방에서 설치되는 비교적 작은 규모의 분산형전원(DG;Distribution Generator)으로 배전선로에 직접 연계됨에 따라 배전계통에도 큰 변화가 일고 있다. 분산전원(DG)이 배전계통에 연계됨에 따라 전압변동에 따른 전압조정, 고조파 계통유입에 따른 전기품질, 계통고장시의 분산전원의 단독운전 방지, 고장전류의 분산에 따른 선로의 보호협조 등 다양한 새로운 문제점이 대두되고 있고 이를 해결하기 위해 연구개발 및 신기자재개발 등이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 현재 배전자동화시스템에 적용되고 있는 고장검출 알고리즘은 단방향으로 전기를 공급하던 전통적인 배전방식에서 단순 과전류요소에 의해 고장검출하는 알고리즘을 적용하고 있기 때문에 분산전원이 연계된 양방향 전기공급 배전계통에서는 정확하게 고장구간을 검출하기 어렵다. 이로 인해 고장판단 문제점과 보호기기의 오동작 등으로 정확하게 고장구간을 판단하지 못하여 광역정전이 발생되고 고장복구가 장시간 소요되고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해소하기 위해 양방향 전기공급 배전계통에서 고장이 발생시 고장점으로 유입되는 고장전류의 파형형태를 분석하여 고장 구간을 판단하는 알고리즘을 소개하고자 한다. 또한 다기능 mFRTU(mFRTUmulti-function Feeder Remote Terminal Unit) 의 고장 구간 판단 알고리즘의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해 실선로에서 실증시험을 시행하였으며, 그 결과를 분석하여 타당성을 제시하고자 한다.

This study was to estimate the reduction effect of nonpoint source pollutants according to the rainfall intensity and drainage of infiltration grate inlet. Soil infiltration flow was measured on-site and SS load by the filter part was calculated by the experimental data in laboratory reactor test. Soil infiltration flow was measured to be about $1m^3/hr$ in soil condition saturated with water. The filter part of the infiltration grate inlet was a hydraulic equipment unhindered by soil infiltration on the bottom of the storage tank, because the infiltration flow was measured to be about $3m^3/hr$ continuously in the closing infiltration hole condition. Infiltration flow and SS load were over about $1m^3/hr$ and 1.71 kg according to laboratory results by the filter part using the artifical sample. Therefore, the above values could be presented as the limitted value to start the reduction of filtration effect. Reduction efficiencies of SS load by the filter part for the rainfall intensity were about 87 % at 5 mm/hr and about 61 % at 10 mm/hr in consideration of one infiltration grate inlet got the drainage area about $200m^2$. The reduction efficiency of nonpoint source pollutants was very effective in the first flush rainfall. However, the reduction efficiency by rainfall density was higher than by flow.

SULEV (Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle) which is one of the emission standards in Fleet Average System introduced to Korea from 2009 is known as the most severe standard to achieve with internal combustion engine. Considering low sales volume of hybrid vehicles in Korea, vehicle manufacturers are required to develop SULEV technologies for conventional gasoline and LPG vehicles to meet the future Fleet Average standard. In this study, the comparison of emissions has been made between SULEV developed and ULEV LPG vehicles mainly produced in this time. To estimate the emission reduction of SULEV vehicles, CVS-75 and NIER test modes have been used. CVS-75 has been used for emission certification of gasoline and LPG vehicles. NIER modes cover various average vehicle speed and reflect Korean real driving patterns better than CVS-75. The test results show that SULEV LPG vehicles have very high potential to reduce $NO_x$ in regulated emissions, $N_2O$ in green house gases and toluene in VOCs. However, SULEV LPG vehicles don't affect much on the reduction of CO and total green house gases.

Dual fuel engines are suitable for stricter regulations as they significantly decrease exhaust gas output. Hence, research and development of double wall bellows for dual fuel engines is important. In this study, optimum forming methods and welding conditions were derived to develop double wall bellows made of austenite stainless steel. The reliability of the prototypes was ensured by various performance evaluations. In this study, the buckling load and bellows stress were obtained by structural design, buckling, and stress analysis to design optimum bellows. As a result, the buckling load in the embossing shape of bellows increased by approximately 1.6 times, and no buckling and squirming occurred at 30.0 bar, which was twice that of the maximum design pressure.

The objective of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of physical water treatment (PWT) technologies using different catalytic materials and an electronic anti-fouling device in the mitigation of mineral fouling in a once-through flow system with mini-channel heat exchanger. Effects of flow velocity and water hardness on the effectiveness of PWT technologies were experimentally studied. The artificial water hardness varied from 5.0 to 10 mo1/m$^{3}$ as CaCO$_{3}$. For 10 mo1/m$^{3}$ solution, fouling resistance reduced by 13-40$\%$ depending on flow velocity and types of PWT devices. On the other hand, fouling resistance reduced by 21-29$\%$ depending on the PWT devices for 5 mo11m3 solutions. The PWT device using alloy of Cu and Zn as catalyst (CM2) was slightly more effective than the others. SEM photographs of scale produced from the 10 mol/m$^{3}$ solution at 1.0 m/s indicated that calcium carbonate scales without PWT devices were needle-shaped aragonite, which is sticky, dense and difficult to remove. Scales with the PWT devices showed a cluster of spherical or elliptic shape crystals. Both the heat transfer test results and SEM photographs strongly support the efficacy of PWT technologies using catalytic materials and an electronic anti-fouling device in the mitigation of mineral fouling.

The HCCI engine is a prospective internal combustion engine with which high diesel-like efficiencies and very low NOx and particulate emissions can be achieved. However, several technical issues must be resolved before HCCI engines can be used for different applications. One of the issues concerning the HCCI engine is that the operating range of this engine is limited by the rapid pressure rise caused by the release of excessive heat. This heat release is because of the self-accelerated combustion reaction occurring in the engine and the resulting engine knock in the high-load region. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of thermal stratification and fuel stratification in reducing the pressure rise rate in an HCCI engine. The concentrations of NOx and CO in the exhaust gas are also evaluated to confirm combustion completeness and NOx emission. The computation is carried out with the help of a multizone code, by using the information on the detailed chemical kinetics and the effect of thermal and fuel stratification on the onset of ignition and rate of combustion. The engine is fueled with dimethyl ether (DME), which allows heat release to occur in two stages, as opposed to methane, which allows for heat release in a single stage.
