Micro-vibration induced by on-board appendages that have mechanical moving parts has always been treated as an useless objective that has to be isolated, in order to comply with a high-resolution mission requirement of the observation satellite. In this study, we proposed a tuned mass damper energy harvester combined with a conventional passive vibration isolator for exhibiting dual functions of both electrical energy harvesting and micro-vibration isolation. The feasibility of the proposed dual-function complex system has been demonstrated through the comparison with numerical simulations, based on the results of basic characteristic tests, and experiments of the harvested power and micro-vibration.

태양광열 복합 시스템(photovoltaic/thermal hybrid solar system, PV/T)은 태양광 모듈 및 태양열 집열판의 단일화를 통한 전기 및 열에너지의 동시 생산이 가능하도록 구성되고 기존 태양광 모듈의 온도 상승에 따른 효율 저하의 문제점을 보완 및 발생하는 열을 회수하여 온수 생산이 가능한 장치이다. 본 연구에서는 액체형 PV/T 시스템의 대표적인 두 형태인 박스형과 튜브형의 성능 검증을 위하여 수학적 모델링을 통한 두 시스템의 열 및 전기적 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 모델링은 에너지 평형식을 이용하여 시간에 따른 각 부분의 온도의 변화를 예측할 수 있도록 수립되었으며 계산된 결과를 기준으로 전기, 열, 및 전체효율을 도출해 내고, 이를 바탕으로 두 시스템의 성능을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 바탕으로, 박스형 PV/T 시스템의 최고 온수 온도는 $52^{\circ}C$로 예측되었고, 반면에 튜브형은 $48^{\circ}C$에 머물렀다. 또한 열효율은 박스형이 최대 51%, 튜브형이 41%, 전기효율은 박스형이 약 14%, 그리고 튜브형이 13%로 나타났으며, 전체효율은 박스형이 73%, 그리고 튜브형이 64%로 나타나 박스형 PV/T 시스템이 튜브형보다 더 나은 성능을 가지는 것으로 예측되었다. 이는 박스형이 튜브형보다 태양광 모듈과 온수와의 접촉면적이 넓어 더 많은 열전달이 발생하기 때문으로 사료된다.

Research and development works on practical application of natural energy utilization systems involving solar, wind and sea wave energies are under promoting for the purpose of improving the energy consumption structure. These natural energies, made available with the use of relatively simple apparatus, are clean economically efficient and highly effective in the conservation of environment. However, these natural energies also have low energy density, randomness and regional variations. To compensate for these characteristics, hybrid utilization of solar and wind energies is currently under study. The introduction of a plural number of the natural energy hybrid utilization systems into a specific area will affect the economic efficiency, reliability and environmental conservation. Evaluation method of such effects has been examined in this study. The present method consisted of the steps described below. First, available energy was calculated from insolation distribution and wind velocity distribution in the specified area, and then the effect on the configuration of the power system load was obtained. This was followed by the determination of the optimal power dispatch over the specified period and by evaluations in light of economic efficiency, reliability and environmental indices.

The continuous excessive consumption of fossil fuels is causing global warming, climate, and environmental crisis. Accordingly, hydrogen energy attracts attention among alternative energies of fossil fuels, because it has the advantage of not emitting pollutants and not having resource restrictions. Therefore, various studies are being conducted on a water electrolysis system for producing hydrogen and a fuel cell system for producing electricity by using hydrogen energy as a fuel. In this study, 3D ionomer models were produced by reflecting the excessive water condition of an anion-conductive ionomer material, which is one of the core materials of water electrolysis systems and fuel cells. Finally, by analyzing the structural stability and performance of the ionomer under an excessively hydrated condition, we suggested a performance improvement factor in the design of an anion conductive ionomer, a key material for water electrolysis systems and fuel cells.

In this paper, the performance of an energy conversion system is analyzed using two efficiency concepts, one of conventional and the other of energetic efficiently. The objective of this analysis was to improve and optimize the energy conversion system in point, namely, and LNG-fired Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP). To this end, energies which represent the true efficiency figures were evaluated for various flows of the system with a set of system configurations given. Then the economic values of the energies were assigned to respective flows and subsystems. With these economic data locations of inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement are identified.

A calculation method on performance impact of the controllable operations parameter such as GT inlet filter ${\Delta}P$, compressor efficiency, and condenser pressure was devised to achieve best performance of combined cycle power plant with the on-line performance monitoring system. This method calculates the performance impact on the deviation between 'Expected' values and 'Actual' values. Controllable parameter targets are determined based on achievable performance given existing equipments and control conditions.

In the last decade, various types of energy harvesting and conversion systems based on ion exchange membranes (IEMs) have been developed for eco-friendly power generation and energy-grid systems. In these membrane-based energy systems, high ion selectivity and conductivity properties of IEMs are critical parameters to improve efficiency of the systems such as proton exchange membrane fuel cells, anion exchange membrane fuel cells, redox flow batteries, water electrodialysis for hydrogen production, and reverse electrodialysis. This article suggests variable approaches to overcome trade-off limitation of polymeric membrane ion transport properties by reviewing various types of composite ion-exchange membranes including novel inorganic-organic nanocomposite membrane, surface modified membranes, cross-linked and pore-filled membranes.
