에너지와 환경을 조화시킨 자원순환형 사회의 실현을 위해 하수처리장에서도 하수열이나 소화가스 등의 미이용(未利用)네어지의 유효활용이 기대되고 있다. 소화가스는 하수처리장에서 발생하는 에너지 중에서는 큰 비중을 차지하고 있으나 소화조의 가온을 위해 사용되고 있는 정도로 반드시 유효하게 활용되고 있다고는 말할 수 없다. 또 가스엔진의 코제너레이션에 의해 유효하게 할용되고 있는 처리장도 있으나 메인터넌스 비용 등의 문제로 보급되고 있지 않은 것이 실제의 상황이다. 한편, 마이크로가스터빈은 그 구조의 심풀성 때문에 가스엔진과 비교하여 메인터너스 비용의 저감이 기대되고 있어, 소화가스를 연료로 하는 코제너레이션 시스템으로서 앞으로의 보급이 기대되는 발전시스템이다. 그래서 소화가스의 마이크로가스터빈용 연료로서의 적용을 위한 검증과 운영상의 과제를 밝힐 것을 목적으로 북견시 정화센터의 처리장 내에 설치하여 실증시험을 하고 있다. 지금까지 약 4,000시간의 운전실적에서 소화가스에 기인하는 본질적인 문제도 없고 시스템이 안정되게 동작하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 실증시험설비에는 마이크로가스터빈의 운전상태를 24시간 리모트 감시하는 리모트감시장치를 설치하고 있는데, 운전데이터의 파악과 이상 발생시의 고장진단/기술검토에 유효하게 사용되었다.

This study is to examine the energy budget of Hexagrammos agrammus in the natural habitat, based on the von Bertalanffy's growth model using food consumption and growth data of the fish. The fish were collected at the coasts of Tongbaek Island in Pusan and Shinsu Island in Samchonpo, Korea. The standard energy budget model was adopted for this study and the model has the components of toed consumption (C), production (G), assimilation (A), absorption ($A_b$), catabolism (R), excreta (U) and feces (F). These components were expressed as mass unit, not as calorie unit as usual. Both the mass and the proportion of each component varied with age of the fish, The mass of annual excreta declined as the fish became older, while those of the other components increased with the age. The relationship between mean weight (W) and annual absorption ($A_b$) was a non-linear one with the equation of $A_b=4.592W^{0.666}$, while that between mean weight (W) and annual catabolism (R) was linear as R=0.007+0.567W. On the other hand, the annual food consumption (C) showed linear relations both with annual assimilation (A) and annual catabolism (R) as A= -7.026+0.061C and R=-20.749+0.048C, respectively.

To respond to global warming, there is an increasing interest in eco-friendly alternative energy sources. Therefore, unused forest biomass that has been neglected due to a lack of marketability is attracting attention. With the introduction of the "unused forest biomass certification system" in 2019, ways of determining quantity of unused forest biomass have steadily increased. However, there have been reported cases whereby unused forest biomass weighed more than the amount of harvested trees. It was found that it was possible that forest resources that can be used as round wood were mixed with unused forest biomass. In this context, this study aimed to estimate the amount of mixed round wood in the unused forest biomass supply. The relative expression of growing stock/ha versus the amount of final clearing/ha collected was modeled (y=1.490x-94.341, R²=0.861). As a result, it was found that round wood was mixed into the unused forest biomass, contributing to the disparity observed between the weighted forest biomass and the amount of trees harvested. In conclusion, proper declaration and certification procedures should be carried out for the use of forest resources and promoting unused forest biomass usage.

A study is perfomed on the difference between the volume of gas purchased from Korea Gas Corporation (KGC) and that of measured gas deliveries including total sales, pipeline inventory, and other usage by gas companies at Seoul and Kyunggi area. Actual data md information from 1996 to 2001 on gas purchase from KGC, sales, loss and own company use and pipeline status of each gas company are used to identify net inventory change in pipeline, unaccounted inventory estimates based on billing cycle and their net changes. A framework to be used for the analysis of such differences and an empirical test result are being provided. As a conclusion, the hypothesis that each gas company purchased more than the volume of gas accounted-for by all the possible factors is shown to be rejected.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine an appropriate energy level of breakfast with less risk of chronic disease for Korean adults. Methods: Using data from the 2007~2009 Korean National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey, from a total of 12,238 adults aged 19~64, the final 7,769 subjects were analyzed except subjects who were undergoing treatment for cancer or metabolic disorder. According to the percent of breakfast energy intake versus their estimated energy requirement (EER), the subjects were divided into four groups: < 10% (very low, VL), 10~20% (low, L), 20~30% (moderate, M), ${\geq}30%$ (sufficient, S). All data were analyzed on the metabolic risk and nutritional state after application of weighted value and adjustment of sex, age, residential area, income, education, job or jobless, and energy intake using a general linear model or logistic regression. Results: The subjects of group S were 16.9% of total subjects, group M 39.2%, group L 37.6%, and group VL 6.3%. The VL group included more male subjects, younger-aged (19 to 40 years), urban residents, higher income, higher education, and fewer breakfasts eaters together with family members. Among the 4 groups, the VL group showed the highest waist circumference, while the S group showed the lowest waist circumference, body mass index, and serum total cholesterol. The groups of VL and L with lower intake of breakfast energy showed high percent of energy from protein and fat, and low percent of energy from carbohydrate. With the increase of breakfast energy level, intake of energy, most nutrients and food groups increased, and the percentage of subjects consuming nutrients below EAR decreased. The VL group showed relatively higher intake of snacks, sugar, meat and eggs, oil, and seasonings, and the lowest intake of vegetable. Risk of obesity by waist circumference was highest in the VL group by 1.90 times of the S group and the same trend was shown in obesity by BMI. Risk of dyslipidemia by serum total cholesterol was 1.84 times higher in the VL group compared to the S group. Risk of diabetes by Glu-FBS (fasting blood sugar) was 1.57 times higher in the VL group compared to the S group. Conclusion: The results indicate that higher breakfast energy level is positively related to lower metabolic risk and more desirable nutritional state in Korean adults. Therefore, breakfast energy intake more than 30% of their own EER would be highly recommended for Korean adults.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드는 한정된 에너지를 가진다. 이에 센서 노드의 전송 에너지의 효율을 높여 네트워크의 수명을 연장하는 것이 중요하다. 무선 센서 네트워크에서 LEACH는 클러스터 헤드가 난수를 이용한 확률값으로 선출하여 주변 노드들과 함께 클러스터를 구성한다. 그러나 노드들이 베이스 스테이션과 클러스터 헤드 사이에 존재할 경우 클러스터 헤드로 데이터를 전송하게 되므로, 베이스 스테이션의 역방향으로 전송하게 된다. 이는 역방향 전송을 받은 클러스터 헤드가 다시 베이스 스테이션에 데이터를 전송하게 되어 불필요한 에너지를 소비한다. 본 논문에서는 LEACH의 불필요한 전송 에너지의 소비를 줄이기 위하여 D-LEACH를 제안한다. D-LEACH는 센서 노드와 베이스 스테이션 그리고 클러스터 헤드 사이의 거리를 계산하여 직접 전송하거나 멀티 홉 전송으로 데이터의 전송방향을 베이스 스테이션이 위치한 방향으로만 전송하게 함으로 전송 에너지 효율을 높인다.

The Metropolitan Area Green Heat Project (MAGHP), which collects unused heat gathered from power plants, steel works, landfills in western Metropolitan area and distribute it to integrated energy business (IEB) companies, is proposed for the purpose of enhancing energy efficiency and providing low-price heat for IEB companies. Therefore, in order to decide on whether to initiate the MAGHP, the economic feasibility analysis of the project is widely demanded. This paper attempts to consider and measure four economic benefits: heat supply benefit, production cost reduction benefit, greenhouse gas mitigation benefit, and air quality improvement benefit. In addition, the paper tries to conduct the economic feasibility analysis. The project requires three-year investment and thirty-year operation. Three important findings emerge from the analysis. First, its net present value is computed to be 1,269 billion won and more than zero. Second, its benefit/cost ratio is calculated to be 1.72 and bigger than 1.0. Third, its internal rate of return is estimated to be 24.26% and larger than the social rate of return, 5.5%. In conclusion, the MAGHP is socially profitable and should be conducted immediately.
