Wave distribution in Jangjeon Harbour is numerically simulated for an optimum design of the harbour facilities. A deep-water design wave is estimated based on stochastic extreme wave analysis of wind data in the vicinity of the harbour, and it is applied to the boundary condition at open sea. Boussinesq wave theory that includes effects of frequency dispersion and nonlinearity is employed for the wave simulation. The porosity and sponge layer are adapted at beach to depict partial reflection and complete absorption of waves, respectively. The design wave for breakwater is computed in global domain with coarse grids and the wave distribution inside of wharf is simulated in local domain with fine grids.

Thermal comfort provide satisfaction of thermal environment and affects productivity of occupants in residential building. However, temperature control can not provide the thermal comfort at all the time. because thermal comfort is influenced by many environmental variables such as temperature, relative humidity, air velocity, radiation temperature, activity level and clothing insulation. The purpose of this study is that predicted mean vote(PMV) index is used as control. And, Thermal comfort is evaluated both PMV control and temperature control by simulation. Each other cases were compared, in which set-point temperatures of $22^{\circ}C$ and $24^{\circ}C$ and, set-point PMV index through the respective heating season in the simulation. The results show that PMV control is better to maintain comfort state and save energy than temperature control.

Harvesting energy from the environment is essential for many applications to slow down the deterioration of energy in sensor networks. Energy from the environment is an inexhaustible supply which, if properly managed and harvested from the sources, can allow the system to last for a longer period. Many simulators simulate whole sensor networks where the nodes rely on energy harvesting for their source of power. It is important to be able to assume and simulate a node that can harvest energy from different sources of ambient energy. It is also essential to be able to keep track of the energy levels of the node and adjust node activities based on its energy status. This study aims to develop a prototype for a single node simulator that will show the effects of harvesting from different sources of energy. The results of this study can later be extended for more complicated simulations.

시뮬레이션 모델 및 AES, SIMS에 의한 깊이방향 분석의 유용성을 확인하기 위해 이체 충돌모델에 기초한 몬테칼로 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이를 위해, 현 시뮬레이션에서는 충돌 캐스캐이드에 의한 interstitial 및 vacancy 원자의 발생과 각 원자 층이 일정한 원자농도를 유지하도록 interstitial에 의한 vacancy의 소멸을 고려하였다. 이 모델은 AES 깊이 방향 분석에서는 AsAs/GaAs 초격자에, SIMS 깊이 방향 분석에는 Ta2O5/SiO2 초격자에 적용되었고, 실험으로부터 얻어진 결과들을 잘 나타냈다. 0.5keV Ar+ 이온 스퍼터링에 의한 AES 깊이방향 분석의 경우 AlAs 층에서 Al의 선택 스퍼터링에 의해 AlAs 층에서 As(MVV-32eV)의 Auger 강도는 GaAs 층에서보다 약 1.2배 크게 나타났다. 이 시뮬레이션은 Ta2O5(18nm)/SiO2(0.5nm)에 대한 SIMS 깊이방향 분석에서 표면 쪽으로의 1-3nm 정도의 피크(SiO+) 이동 및 decay length도 또한 잘 설명할 수 있었다. 이때, 낮은 에너지에서 보다 더 깊은 이온빔 믹싱이 발생하기 때문에 높은 에너지에서 오히려 더 좋은 분해능을 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크(sensor networks)의 가장 대표적인 MAC 프로토콜인 S-MAC 의 에너지 효율을 높이기 위한 새로운 ACK(Acknowledgement) 기법을 제안한다. S-MAC 의 데이터 전송 절차는 Stop and Wait ARQ(Automatic Repeat Request) 방식을 사용하기 때문에 ACK 패킷으로 인한 불필요한 에너지 소비가 크다. 에너지 효율성은 센서 네트워크의 가장 중요한 고려사항이므로 불필요한 에너지 소비를 줄이는 새로운 ACK 기법을 제안한다. 우리는 시뮬레이션을 통해 S-MAC 과 제안된 ACK 기법의 에너지 효율을 비교했다. 시뮬레이션 결과에서 제안한 기법이 S-MAC 보다 에너지 효율성이 높았다.

본 논문에서는 기존의 Piezoelectric micropower generator 연구에서 주로 사용되던 Schottky 다이오드 대신 역방향 누설전류가 아주 작은 PAD1과 같은 다이오드를 사용함으로써 기계적 에너지로부터 전기적 에너지로의 에너지 변환효율을 획기적으로 증가시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 시뮬레이션을 위해 실험결과를 초기 값으로 한 최적화된 등가회로를 구성하였으며, 실험과 PSPICE 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석한 결과 에너지 변환효율은 최고 100% 이상 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 특히 미세한 진동으로부터의 매우 작은 기계적 에너지를 이용하는 경우에는 PAD1과 같이 역방향 누설전류가 아주 작은 다이오드를 이용해야만 전기에너지로의 변환이 가능함을 증명하였다.

모터나 기계류와 같이 주변에서 발생하는 미활용 진동에너지를 전기에너지로 수확하기 위한 Piezoelectric Energy Harvester를 개발하고자 하였다. PZT-5H의 조성으로 후막세라믹 적층 구조 캔틸레버 타입의 압전시트를 통해 압전 에너지 하베스터를 제작하였다. 일반적으로 진동에너지를 수확하여 전기에너지로 변환시키는 압전 에너지 하베스팅 기술은 에너지 효율이 낮은 문제점을 가지고 있으므로 에너지 효율을 높이기 위한 방법으로 본 연구에서는 Unimorph 와 Bimorph 타입의 캔틸레버의 가로, 세로, 두께, 재료변수에 따라 발생하는 최적의 효율을 가지는 구조를 찾고자 하였다. 캔틸레버 각 변수에 따른 공진주파수 대역에서 발생하는 전압을 분석하여 50Hz의 공진주파수를 가지는 60*35*0.2mm의 캔틸레버를 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 얻어진 결과를 실험적으로 검증하기 위해 전력량을 측정한 결과, Bimorph는 Unimorph 타입에 비해 2배가량의 향상된 발전특성을 가지며 에너지 하베스터에서 초당 $76.2\;{\mu}W$의 전력량을 가지는 것을 확인하였고 시뮬레이션 결과와의 타당성을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes an optimal algorithm for generating a train speed profile giving optimal energy efficiency based on GA (Genetic Algorithm) and shows its effectiveness with simulations. After simplifying the train operation mode to a maximum traction, a coasting and a maximum breaking, adjusting the coasting point to minimize the train consuming energy is the basic scheme. Satisfying the two constraints, running distance and running time between two stations, a coasting point is determined by GA with a fitness function consisting of a target running time. Simulation results have shown that multiple coasting points could exist satisfying both of the two constraints. After figuring out consumed energies according to the multiple coasting points, an optimal train speed profile with a coasting point giving the smallest consumed energy has been selected. Simulation blocks for the train performance simulation and GA have been designed with the Simulink.

Increasing green house gas and it consequent climate change problems are discussed as a global issue. Accordingly, future local green house gas emission will increase up to 40% of the entire local green house gas emission and therefore, efforts to reduce the emission in construction industry is urgently required. Therefore, in this study, heating energy demand was analyzed by using the EnergyPlus simulation according to wood material finishes configuration. EnergyPlus has the entry for a variety of buildings and heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HAVC) system components, in particular buildings, air conditioning systems, and performs simultaneous integrated calculated through the feedback between the heat source unit, a verification program according to the ASHRAE Standard 140-2007 to be. The climate data for the simulation we used the data IWEC in Incheon and Gwangju provided by EnergyPlus. The analysis of simulation model was farm and fishing house standard design drawings: 2012, presented at the Korea Rural Community Corporation. The results of simulation of central region and southern region were effected by wood products of simulation model into the interior finish, exterior finish, windows, wooden structure. Also, it was confirmed that the reduced heating energy demand.
