This study attempted to investigate the value of photoelectric sensors in terms of a defrost-control method. Tests were conducted in a calorimeter room under the heating with the defrost-performance test conditions described in KS C 9306. Accordingly, the photoelectric technology is a competitive defrost-control method that can precisely control the operational defrost cycle using the output voltages that are proportional to the frost height. The heating period is gradually reduced because the complex defrost-control method, for which the sensors initiate the defrosting process and the defrosting process is terminated by the time parameter, could not adjust the net defrosting time by itself. Therefore, a complex defrost-control method, for which the photoelectric sensors start the defrosting process and it is terminated by the temperature parameter, is preferred because of the adjustment of the net defrosting time. Regardless of the defrost-control method, the first defrosting cycle is activated earlier than the times that are determined in the second and third cycles and so on, because the first operation cycle can decide the characteristics of the subsequent cycle.

가압경수로에서 증기발생기와 같은 주기기를 원자로 내부에 위치하도록 설계한 원자로를 일체형 원자로라고 분류하며, 기존 상용원자로와 같이 모든 주기기가 별도의 압력용기로 설계되어 배관계통에 의해 원자로 외부에 순환회로를 갖는 형태의 원자로를 분리형원자로라고 한다. 최근에 개발되고 있는 한 부류의 신형원자로에서는 원자로 및 계통의 단순성 추구와 계통의 높은 신뢰성으로 안전성 향상을 위해 동력원 사용 등의 능동적 안전개념 보다는 자연현상을 이용하는 피동안전개념이 널리 도입되고 있다. 본보고서에서는 이러한 신형원자로의 노형으로서 일체형원자로의 특성을 전통적인 분리형원자로와 비교, 분석, 평가하였다. 일체형원자로의 가장 큰 장점은 모든 주기기가 단일 압력용기 내에 위치하므로 일차계통이 매우 단순하고 대구경 배관이 없기때문에 대형 냉각재 상실사고가 근본적으로 방지되어 안전계통이 매우 단순하다는 것이다. 이 외에도 일체형원자로는 대단히 많은 일차냉각재 용량, 매우 큰 가압기 용량및 긴 운전원 조치시간등의 설계특성을 보유하고 있어 안전성이 탁월하다는 장점을 지니고 있다. 그러나, 일체형원자로는 모든 주기기가 단일 압력용기 내에 설치되므로 대형 원자로 용기가 요구되며, 원자로 압력용기의 제작성 및 운송 능력이 원자로의 용량을 제한하는 주된 요인이 된다. 일체형원자로의 활용으로 열병합 발전, 지역난방 및 선박용 원자로등의 중소형 원자로에 매우 적합하다고 판단되며, 뛰어난 안전성으로 인하여 사회적 수용성 이 강조되는 상용발전로로서도 적합한 노형이 될 수 있을 것으로 분석되었다.

정부는 그린홈 100만호 보급 사업에서 연료전지의 보급 목표를 2010년 200대 2011년 300대, 2012년 500대로 결정하였고 이에 따라 2012년까지 누적 보급대수가 1000대에 달할 전망이다. 본 연구에서는 현재 상업화 되어있는 국내업체의 1kW급 가정용 연료전지 시스템을 2009년에 도입되는 것으로 가정하여 경제성평가를 수행하였다. 분석의 편의상 2009년 서울 지역 난방면적 $100m^2$을 기준으로 전제하였고, 대표가정의 전기와 열수요는 CES 소형 열병합 사업 타당성 분석 프로그램(GS파워, 2006)을 활용하여 구했다. 비용의 경우 기존 보일러의 설비가격은 60만원이며 연료전지시스템의 설비가격은 1200만원이다. 다만 연료전지의 고가 소모품인 스택은 2007년 발간된 한국에너지 기술연구원의 신재생에너지 경제성평가 보고서를 인용하여 스택의 수명은 5년, 교체비용은 1000만 원이나 5년마다 30%의 비용 하락을 전제하였다. 또한, 연료전지시스템의 수명을 20년으로 가정하였으며 할인율은 5.5%를 가정하였다. 한편, 가정용 연료전지의 최적 운전방안을 찾기 위해서 기존 설비를 이용한 비용과 전기추종운전, 열추종운전의 시뮬레이션을 수행한 뒤 세가지 결과를 시간대별로 비교함으로써 최적의 시간대별 운전방식을 선택하는 복합추종운전의 비용을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션결과, 기존 설비 이용 시 에너지 비용은 1,934,864원으로 분석된 반면 연료전지를 이용한 전기추종은 1,123,691원, 열추종은 1,180,425원, 복합추종은 1,121,174원으로 계산되었다. 한편 편익면에서는 복합추종운전시 813,690원의 편익이 발생하는 것으로 분석되었으며 B/C ratio의 결과는 0.405로 현재로서는 연료전지 시스템이 경제성이 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 정부는 연료전지의 보급목표와 민간 주도의 자생적인 시장형성을 촉진하기 위해서 단순 설치 보조금 이외에 연료전지시스템과 스택의 비용을 획기적으로 저감 시킬 수 있는 기술개발을 촉진하는 정책 병행이 필요해 보인다.

This paper studied the economical efficiency of ground source heat pump system under various conditions in apartments which have important effects on the housing market. And this study analysed the initial cost increase, saved managing cost and recovery time of initial cost. Analysis result showed as time of heating-cooling and water heating increases, the amount of saved managing cost increased much than the initial construction cost, so recovery time shortened. And as the net area of apartment increases, the recovery time increased. The study of the relation between the installation type and recovery time of initial construction cost showed when heat-cooling system adapted ground source heat and water heating system adapted waste heat, the initial construction cost was recovered most quickly. When Ground Source Heating system was used for the heating-cooling and water heating system, ground source heating system was used for the heating-cooling and waste heat used for water heating, and ground source heating system was used for the heating-cooling and LNG used for water heating, the construction cost increased 72,000, 66,900 and 62,300 won each per $m^2$ compared to the current system (package air-conditioner, heating and water heating using LNG).

The fuzzy controller of the FFH(Fuel Fired Heater) used for vehicle is designed in this study. Two of the most important things of the pre-heater are how fast it can be at the set temperature and how to reduce the temperature deviation in the space to a minimum. The temperature deviation of the existed FFH with PI controller for temperature controller was reduced. Also, the fuzzy controller improved the response characteristics, and then the performance was inspected. When setting the temperature in this designed fuzzy controller, it took 12 minutes in the existed PI control method to reach $25^{\circ}C$. However, it took 9 minutes and 20 seconds in the fuzzy control method. Therefore, it is proved that the fuzzy controller is better than the existed one with fast response performance as 2 minutes 40 seconds. The temperature deviation was $2.4^{\circ}C$ in the existed control method but $1.6^{\circ}C$ in the designed fuzzy controller. Accordingly, the temperature deviation was improved too.

This study, as the temporal and spatial data for the real price apartment in Seoul from January 2006 to June 2013, empirically compared and analyzed the estimation result of apartment price using OLS by hedonic price model for the problem of space-time correlation, temporal autoregressive model (TAR) considering temporal effect, spatial autoregressive model (SAR) spatial effect and spatiotemporal autoregressive model (STAR) spatiotemporal effect. As a result, the adjusted R-square of STAR model was increased by 10% compared that of OLS model while the root mean squares error (RMSE) was decreased by 18%. Considering temporal and spatial effect, it is observed that the estimation of apartment price is more correct than the existing model. As the result of analyzing STAR model, the apartment price is affected as follows; area for apartment(-), years of apartment(-), dummy of low-rise(-), individual heating (-), city gas(-), dummy of reconstruction(+), stairs(+), size of complex(+). The results of other analysis method were the same. When estimating the price of real estate using STAR model, the government officials can improve policy efficiency and make reasonable investment based on the objective information by grasping trend of real estate market accurately.

This study analyzed the dynamic changes in the energy poverty structure of all households, elderly households, and single-person households in Korea. To this end, a TIP curve was derived and the focus was on changes in energy poverty intensity and poverty incidence. For the data, annual and quarterly data on fuel costs from the National Statistical Office's Household Income and Expenditure Survey were used. And the results were presented using data from the first quarter, where the energy poverty problem can be prominent due to the high proportion of heating costs among the four quarters. As a result of the analysis, there was no clear improvement in poverty intensity and poverty incidence over time in the analysis of all households. However, the analysis of elderly and single-person households showed improvement in poverty intensity and poverty incidence over time. In particular, in the results of the analysis using the data for the first quarter, the poverty intensity and poverty incidence of elderly and single-person households improved remarkably. In addition, the poverty intensity and poverty incidence of the elderly and single-person households were larger than the all households, and the energy poverty of single-person households was more severe than that of the elderly households.

Latent heat storage system using micro-encapsuled phase change material is effective method for floor heating of house and building. The temperature profile in capsule block and flow rate of hot water are important parameters for the development of heat storage system. In the present study, a mathematical model based on 3-D, non-steady state, Navier-Stokes equations, scalar conservation equations and turbulence model ($\kappa$-$\varepsilon$), is used to predict the temperature profiles in capsule and the velocity vectors in hot water pipe. The multi-block grids and fine grids embedding are used to join the circle in hot water pipe and square in capsule block. The phase change process of the capsule is quite complex not only because the size of phase change material is very small, but also because phase change material is mixed with the cement to form thermal storage block. In calculation, it's assumed that the phenomena of phase change is limited only the thermal properties of phase change material and the change of boundary is not happened in capsule. The purpose of this study is to calculate the temperature profiles in capsule block and velocity vectors in hot water pipe using the numerical calculation. Two kinds of thermal boundary condition were considered, the first (case 1) is the adiabatic condition for the both outside surfaces of the wall, the second (case 2) is the case in which one surface is natural convection with atmosphere and another surface is adaibatic. Calculation results are shown that the temperature profile in capsule block for case 1 is higher than that for case 2 due to less heat loss in adaibatic surface. Specially, in the domain of near Y=0, the difference of temperature is greater in case 1 than in case 2. The detailed experimental data of capsule block on the temperature profile and the thermal properties such as specific heat and coefficient of heat transfer with the various temperature are required to predict more exact phenomena of heat transfer.

This study summarizes test methods and evaluation methods for examining the thermal characteristics of Jeju-type ground heat exchangers (GHXs) installed on Jeju Island, and analyzes the ground temperature and thermal characteristics of ground heat exchangers installed in various regions by using thermal response tests (TRT). Jeju Island is composed of volcanic rock layers, and the groundwater flow is well developed. A Jeju-type GHX can be installed up to 30 m from groundwater level after drilling a borehole. The ground heat exchanger has a structure in which several pipes are inserted into the borehole. In order to examine the characteristics of the Jeju-type GHX, tests were conducted on ground heat exchangers installed in four places on Jeju Island (Pyoseon, Jeju, Namwon, and Hallym). As a result of the analysis of the Jeju-type ground heat exchanger, the ground circulating water temperature stabilized according to the heat injection, depending on the installed location, and was formed within one to three hours. The ground heat exchanger capacity in Hallym was highest at 73.4 kW (cooling) and 82.8 kW (heating), and the Jeju-type calculation was lowest at 34.1 kW (cooling) and 23.3 kW (heating).
