In this study, after operational data for a landfill gas power plant were collected, the methane gas concentration was predicted using a deep learning method. Concentrations of methane gas, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen concentration, as well as data related to the valve opening degree, air temperature and humidity were collected from 23 pipeline bases for 88 matches from January to November 2017. After the deep learning model learned the collected data, methane gas concentration was estimated by applying other data. Our study yielded extremely accurate estimation results for all of the 23 pipeline bases.

현재 발전차액 지원을 받고 있는 신재생에너지 전원은 태양광, 풍력, 수력, 매립가스, 바이오 가스, 연료전지 등 6개 전원이 있다. 신재생에너지 중에서 태양광, 조력, 연료전지, 풍력의 기준가격은 고정가격이며, 폐기물은 변동가격이고, 수력, 매립가스, 바이오가스, 바이오매스는 고정가격과 변동가격 중에서 선택할 수 있도록 되어 있다. 지난 2년간 신재생에너지 발전소 실적 이용률을 기준가격 적용 이용률과 비교해 보면 매립가스(20MW 미만), 바이오가스, 연료전지 이용률은 기준가격 적용 이용률 보다 낮게 나타났으며, 특히 바이오가스는 실적 이용률이 매우낮게 나타났다. 기타 신재생에너지 전원은 실적 이용률이 높게 나타났다. 발전차액(기반기금)은 기준가격에서 계통한계가격을 뺀 금액을 의미하며 고정가격, 변동가격의 요금선택에 따라 발전차액에 미치는 요소들이 달라진다. 고정가격을 선택한 경우는 계통한계가격, 이용률(전력 거래량)이 영향을 미치며 변동가격을 선택한 경우는 이용률만이 발전차액에 영향을 미친다.

Operational testing of the THIOPAQ^® facility that removes H₂S from landfill gas was performed for 746 days. The average H₂S removal efficiency was 99.4%, and the input quantities of air, NaOH, and nutrients per sulfur load were 13.1 ㎥/ton, 1.5 ㎥/ton, and 28.7 L/ton, respectively. The purity of the bio-sulfur produced from the facility was 94.8%, with 3.3% impurities, except for moisture. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the compositional contents of amino acids and free amino acids of the bio-sulfur surface were 5,308 and 728 mg/kg, respectively. The mean particle size was 3.41 ㎛, which was much smaller than that of chemical sulfur. Based on these results, a high H₂S removal rate of more than 97% is feasible, and high value-added bio-sulfur, which is used as a fungicide because of its hydrophilic characteristics and small size, can be obtained at this facility.

본 연구는 에너지를 집중적으로 사용하는 발전소와 대규모 공장 단지에서 발생하는 배기가스 중에 포함된 황산화물의 제거 방법에 관한 것으로서, 활성탄의 적절한 전처리를 통해 이산화황 흡착능을 향상시켜 머지 않은 장래에 엄격히 적용될 대기오염 기준을 만족시킴과 동시에, 오염 물질의 제거 효율이 높고 폐기물 매립의 부담이 없는 건식 탈황 공정의 효율향상에 기여하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. Activated Char나 활성탄을 이용하여 황산화물과 질소산화물을 동시에 제거하기 위해서는 Carbon 표면을 적절하게 처리함으로써 활성탄의 촉매활성을 향상시키는 것이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 활성탄을 열 및 $O_2$-NH$_3$ 혼합가스로 전처리하여 표면의 특성 변화와 SO$_2$ 흡착능에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. Coconut Shell로부터 제조한 활성탄을 NH$_3$의 농도를 변화시켜가며 $O_2$와의 혼합가스로 973~1173K에서 열처리하는 방법에 의해 전처리하여, 이률 고정층 반응기에서 SO$_2$흡착 및 반응실험을 수행하였고, 이 과정 중의 활성탄 표면의 특성변화를 원소분석, TPD(Temperature Programmed Desorption), FTIR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), Acid-Base Titration, SEM(Scanning Electrolic Microscopy)등의 분석 방법을 통해서 알아보았다. 그 결과, 활성탄을 열 및 $O_2$-NH$_3$혼합가스로 처리하여 환원성 분위기 하에서 표면 활성점을 증가시킴으로써 황산화물 흡착제거율이 향상됨을 얻었다.

In our society, the advanced, advanced, and information industries have continued to grow and now live in the era of the fourth industrial revolution. As the industry develops, the load of the users has also increased so much that it is deepened by the energy shortage phenomenon and the construction of additional energy facilities is required. Therefore, energy plant construction work is being actively carried out in the coastal area. In particular, it is common to build a plant in the ground by filling the coast with soil in other regions, reflecting the fact that Korea is lacking in the country when constructing power plants, gas and petrochemical plants. Current domestic grounding designs are designed or constructed to suit only the use of grounding resistors based on the electrical equipment design technical standards. However, in the case of a plant facility constructed in the untested buried soil, when the lightning current and the abnormal current are inputted, the facility operator or the user due to the elevation of the ground potential is seriously exposed to the risk of electric shock disaster. In this paper, we analyze the ground resistivity of the landfilled soil and use a computer program (CDEGS) based on KS C IEC 61936-1, We analyze the contact voltage and stratification voltage and propose a grounding design optimized for plant installation.

Portland cement production-1.5billion tonnes yearly worldwide-contributes substantially to global atmospheric pollution($\sim$7% of total of CO$_2$ emissions). Attempts to increase the utilization of fly ash, a by-products from thermal power plant to partially replace the cement in concrete are gathering momentum. But most of fly ash is currently dumped in landfills, thus creating a threat to the environment. Therefore, In this study, influence of curing temperature(30, 60, 90$^{\circ}$C) on the strength of properties fly ash based cement ZERO mortar was investigate, measured a weight change and pH change according to each care of curing temperature. The test results that a curing at 90$^{\circ}$C is appropriate in case of the high strength concrete is required in the early-age of the curing and 60$^{\circ}$C is efficient for the case of requiring high strength at age 28 days. Furthermore pH variation and value of compressive strength are judged to correlate but change of weight is not the case.

Portland cement production-1.5billion tonnes yearly worldwide-contributes substantially to global atmospheric pollution(7% of total of $CO_2$ emissions). Attempts to increase the utilization of fly ash, by-products from thermal power plant to partially replace the cement in concrete are gathering momentum. But most of fly ash is currently dumped in landfills, thus creating a threat to the environment. Many researches on alkali-activated concrete that does not need the presence of cement as a binder have been carried out recently. Instead, the sources of material such as fly ash, that are rich in Silicon(Si) and Aluminium(Al), are activated by alkaline liquids to produce the binder. Hence concrete with no cement is effect reduction of $CO_2$ gas. In this study, we investigated the influence of the compressive strength of mortar on alkaline activator and curing condition in oder to develop cementless fly ash based alkali-activated concrete. In view of the results, we found out that it was possible for us to make alkali-activated mortar with 70MPa at the age of 28days by using alkaline activator manufactured as 1:1 the mass ratio of 9M NaOH and sodium silicate and applying the atmospheric curing after high temperature at $60^{\circ}C$ for 48hours.
