ESS(Energy Storage System) is an important source that keeps power supply stable and utilizes electricity efficiently. For example, ESS contributes to resolve power supply imbalance, stabilize new renewable energy output and regulate frequency. ESS is predicted to be expanded to 55.9GWh of installed capacity by 2023, which is 30 times more than that of 2014. To raise competitiveness of domestic ESS industry in this increasing world market, we have disseminated load-shift ESS for continuous power supply imbalance with FR ESS, and also necessity to secure domestic track record is required. However in case of FR ESS, utility of installing thermal power plant is generally generated within 5% range of rated capacity, so that scalability of domestic market is low without dramatic increase of thermal power plant. Necessity of load-shift ESS dissemination is also decreasing effected by surplus backup power securement policy, raising demand for new dissemination model. New dissemination model is promising for $CO_2$ reduction effect in spite of intermittent output. By stabilizing new renewable energy output in connection with new renewable energy, and regulating system input timing of new renewable energy generation rate, it is prospected model for 'post-2020' regime and energy industry. This research presents a policy alternatives of REC multiplier calculation method to induce investment after outlining PV-connected ESS charge/discharge mode to reduce GHG emission, This alternative is projected to utilize GHG emission reduction methodology for 'Post-2020' regime, big issue of new energy policy.

A gas-circulating bioreactor was used for enrichment of autotrophic methanogens. Mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide (5:1) was used as a sole energy and carbon source. Anaerobic digestive sludge isolated from wastewater treatment system was inoculated into the gas-circulating bioreactor. The enrichment of two chemolithotrophic methanogens, Methanobacterium curvum and Methanobacterium oryzae was accomplished in the gas-circulating bioreactor. The enriched bacteria were cultivated in a bioreactor equipped with hollow-fiber hydrogen-supplying system (hollow-fiber bioreactor), and a hybrid-type bioreactor equipped with hollow-fiber hydrogen-supplying system and electrochemical redox control system. The methane productivity was maximally 30% (V/V) in the hollow-fiber bioreactors and 50% (V/V) in the hybrid-type bioreactor.

ITO 박막은 박막 태양전지, 유기 태양전지뿐만 아니라 유연한 디스플레이, 발광다이오드와 같은 광학적 장치에 투명한 전극으로써 널리 사용된다. 글라스나 플라스틱 기판위에 형성된 투명 전극은 식각을 통하여 전기회로를 구성한다. 또한 식각 특성을 개선할 필요가 있다. 이 연구에서 우리는 유리 기판위에 코팅된 ITO 박막을 유도결합 $BCl_3/Ar$ 플라즈마를 이용하여 식각하였다. ITO 박막은 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링을 사용해 200 $^{\circ}C$에서 비알칼리 글라스 위에 증착하였고 ITO 박막의 총 두께는 약 250 nm 이었다. 또한 전기 전도성은 $4.483{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$, 캐리어 농도는 $3.923{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$이고, 홀 이동도는 $3.545{\times}10cm^{-2}/Vs$이었다. Ar 플라즈마에 $BCl_3$ 가스를 첨가시키면서 가스 비율에 따른 ITO의 식각 속도와 ITO와 PR과의 선택비를 측정하였다. 최대 식각 속도는 $BCl_3$(25%)/Ar(75%), 500 W의 RF power, -200 V의 DC-bias voltage, 그리고 2 pa의 공정압력일 때 588 nm/min이었고 선택비는 0.43으로 다소 낮게 측정되었다. 식각된 표면의 화학적 반응은 엑스선 광전자 분광법 (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy)을 사용해 조사되었다. 그리고 식각된 표면의 거칠기는 원자현미경 (Atomic Force Microscopy)을 사용해 측정하였다.

Hydraulic fracturing technique has been applied in various fields in order to improve the recovery of energy resources such as gas, oil and geothermal energy and research about finding out hydraulic fracturing mechanism and application has been steadily proceeded. In this study, for effective hydraulic fracturing, a scale modeling was progressed to simulate similarly with the actual site. In order to analyze the development aspect of surface crack initiation pressure during hydraulic fracturing followed by different conditions, the number of guide holes hydraulic fracturing test was carried out by setting up a hydraulic fracturing test equipment. Also, through the result, we tried to derive reliable results by comparing and analyzing the value of numerical modeling which is obtained based on the physical properties and mechanical properties with 3DEC, a three-dimensional discrete element method program. As a result, it is considered possible to generate effective crack using the guide hole.

전기방전의 기본적인 특성을 가지고 있는 플라즈마를 이용하여 재료를 가공하는 증착, 식각, 표면처리 공정에 있어서 플라즈마 내의 전자 충돌 반응에 의한 이온, 라디칼의 생성과 재료 표면의 반응을 분석하는 도구로써 분압 측정은 일반적인 화학 조성 분석에 기원한 오랜 역사를 가지고 있다. 1 amu 정도의 분해능을 가지고 있고 크기가 30 cm 정도에 불과한 사중극자 질량 분석기는 적절한 질량 스캔 시간과 넓은 이온 전류 측정 범위를 가지므로 소형 차등 배기 시스템과 조합하면 1 mTorr 영역의 스퍼터링 시스템에서 1 Torr 영역의 PECVD/PEALD 시스템 진단에도 쉽게 적용이 가능하다. Inficon사의 CPM-300과 Pfeiffer사의 Prisma80을 이용한 플라즈마 식각 공정 분석 결과를 보면 동위원소까지 분석이 가능하다. 또한 전자충돌 이온화 에너지를 조절하여 m/q(질량전하비율)가 중첩되는 경우의 해석도 가능하다. 다중 오리피스를 갖는 compact design의 밸브 블록을 이용한 설계에서는 line-of-sight 입사가 불가능하여 이온 전류를 분석할 수 없다는 단점이 있으나 표준 가스를 이용한 정량화 등의 큰 장점들이 있다. 최근 이루어진 연구의 내용으로는 유도 결합 플라즈마 장치에서 전도성 메쉬를 이용한 라디칼 거동 관찰을 위해서 두 대의 CPM-300을 메쉬 전 후에 설치하여 라디칼의 양 변화를 전류 프로브와 같이 사용하여 조사하였다.

This paper described the relatively sensitive and simultaneous analytical method for 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCDP, $C_3H_7ClO_2$, MW. 110) as well as 1,3-dichloropropan-2-ol (1,3-DCP, $C_3H_6Cl_2O$, MW. 128) in various foods. Food samples were homogenized in 5M NaCl solution, mixed with aluminum oxide and eluted with dichloromethane. The extracted chloropropanols were concentrated by rotary evaporator and $N_2$ blow serially were derivatized with HFBA (Heptafluorobutyric anhydride, $C_8F_{14}O_3$, MW. 410) and were determined by GC/MS using isotope dilution method. The characteristic molecular ions at m/z 253, 275, 289, 291, and 453 for HFBA derivatives of 3-MCPD (MW. 502) and 110, 275, and 277 for HFBA derivatives of 1,3-DCP (MW. 325) were chosen in selected ion mode. The method validation data showed sufficiently good properties of LOD (0.003 mg/kg), LOQ (0.010 mg/kg), linearity ($R^2{\geq}0.999$ at 0.010~1.000 mg/kg), and recovery rate (${\approx}97%$). The levels of chloropropanols in soy sauce, sauces, processed meat products, fishery products, and seasonings (n=56/157) determined by the presented method were 0.0~0.3 mg/kg.

As non-conventional oil resources such as shale gas have been widely developed, proper treatment of flowback and produced water is becoming important. However, application of conventional water treatment techniques is limited due to high concentration of pollutants such as oil and grease, organics, harmful chemicals, and inorganic ions. In this study, we examined the feasibility of using forward osmosis (FO) and air gap membrane distillation (AGMD) as novel treatment options for shale gas wastewater. Laboratory-scale FO and MD devices were fabricated and used for the experiments. Results showed that FO could be used to treat the synthetic wastewater. Using 5 M NaCl as the draw solution, the flux was approximately $6L/m^2-hr$ during the treatment of low range wastewater (TDS: 66,000 mg/L). Nevertheless, AGMD was more effective to treat high range wastewater (Total Dissolved Solid: 260,000 mg/L) than FO.

In this study, amine and metal oxide additives were investigated to improve $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of activated carbons (ACs). The characteristics of surface modified ACs were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), $N_2$ adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and BET. Amine surface treatment decreased specific surface area and pore volume of ACs, but increased alkalinity by the incorporated nitrogen functional groups. Adsorption capacities of amine functionalized ACs was larger than original ACs, because basic group which can react with $CO_2$ was grafted on the ACs surface. Presence of copper oxides on ACs also enhances the carbon dioxide adsorption. The copper oxides could increase the adsorption rate of carbon dioxides due to the acid-base interaction (or electron acceptor-donor interaction). It was found that copper oxide loading was a promising method to improve the $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of ACs.

하나로 냉중성자원(CNS: Cold Neutron Source)은 원자로 수조내 반사체 탱크에 위치한 수직 조사공에 설치되어 하나로 노심에서 발생하는 열중성자를 감속재인 액체 수소층을 통과시켜 냉중성자를 생산한다. 생성된 냉중성자는 유도관을 통하여 냉중성자 산란장치에 공급되어 이용 연구에 활용된다. 감속재로 사용되는 수소는 헬륨냉동계통의 운전에 따라 수소가 수조내기기 집합체(IPA: In Pool Assembly) 내로 이동되어 액화되어지므로, 극저온의 헬륨가스의 흐름이 중요하다. 헬륨냉동기에 의해 만들어진 극저온인 헬륨은 IPA 내의 수소와 열교환을 하기 위해서 배관을 통해 이동되며, 열손실없이 전달하기 위하여 헬륨 배관은 진공층이 형성된 이중배관으로 설계되어 있다. 헬륨 이중배관은 공급 및 회수 배관으로 구성되어 있으며, 헬륨 배관의 외관에 진공층을 20개의 구간으로 나누어 제작 및 설치되었으며, 각각의 진공도를 유지하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 하나로 냉중성자원 헬륨 이중배관의 특성과 헬륨냉동계통의 운전 및 정지시 온도 변화에 따른 이중배관 진공도의 변화를 분석하였다.
