Ground drilling is a common method to conduct site investigation, soil improvement, and pile installation. In the point of construction ground drilling requires electrical energy to drill a hole in ground in which the energy exerts into the motor located on the head of auger and generates rotational power. In this paper it is verified that the exerted electrical energy is closely related to the strength characteristics of ground. Measurement sensors, recording system, and drilling system were developed to obtain exerted motor current and drilling depth and laboratory soil box tests were carried out. The measured motor current and boring depth were applied to predict SPT N-value and the prediction results were compared to SPT N-value of laboratory tests. The test results show that the exerted electrical energy to bore ground be a good index to estimate SPT N-value.

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.

Li-ion batteries are energy sources that are widely used in applications such as notebooks, cellular phones, power tools, and vehicles. They are devices in which stored chemical energy is changed to electrical energy by electrochemical reactions. They have a high energy density, small size, and are lightweight. In particular, power tools and vehicles require high charge/discharge rates. Therefore, in this paper, we perform electrochemical simulations using a commercial finite-element analysis program to determine the high discharge-rate characteristics of Li-ion cells. In addition, by performing high discharge-rate simulations, we found that the limited discharge current was 63 A. Based on the results obtained, we investigate the behavior of Li-ion cells with a high rate of discharge.

Traditionally, electric power systems have been known as the centralized structures, which is organized into placing customers at the end of the supply chain. However, recent decades have witnessed the emergence of distributed energy resources(:DERs) such as rooftop solar, farming PV system, small wind turbines, battery energy storage systems and smart home appliances. With the emergence of distributed energy resources, the role of distributed system operators(:DSOs) will expand. The increasing penetration of DERs could lead to a less predictable and reverse flow of power in the system, which can affect the traditional planning and operation of distribution and transmission networks. This raises the need for a change in the role of the DSOs that have conventionally planned, maintained and managed networks and supply outages. The objective of this research is to designed the future distribution operation system with multi-DERs and the proposed distribution system model is implemented by hardware-in-the-loop simulation(HILS). The test results show the normal operation domain and reduction of distribution line loss.

There are variety of reasons for renewable energy curtailment, including lack of transmission availability and grid system stability. In the Jeju island region, there are many cases in which the supply of electricity is already increased compared to the demand for electricity due to the increase of solar and wind power generation facilities, and accordingly, the number of curtailments for wind power generation is increasing. This research aims to find the direction of efficient reception of renewable energy and stable operation of the power system using HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) and BESS(Battery Energy Storage System) facilities that are in charge of power supply in Jeju island. And the paper suggests a practical operation plan for optimal system operation, and the direction of system operation of the land power system due to the expansion of solar and wind power generation facilities in the future.

The smart city is developing an energy system efficiently through a common management of the city resource for the growth and a low carbon social. However, the smart city doesn't counter a verification effectively about a anomaly pattern detection when existing security technology (authentication, integrity, confidentiality) is used by fixed security key and key deodorization according to generated big data. This paper is proposed the "security nonce generation based on security nonce generation" for anomaly pattern detection of the adversary and a safety of the key is high through the key generation of the KDC (Key Distribution Center; KDC) for improvement. The proposed scheme distributes the generated security nonce and authentication keys to each facilities system by the KDC. This proposed scheme can be enhanced to the security by doing the external pattern detection and changed new security key through distributed security nonce with keys. Therefore, this paper can do improving the security and a responsibility of the smart city platform management data through the anomaly pattern detection and the safety of the keys.

A mathematical model has been developed to describe heat transfer phenomena in a PCM (phase change material) module for development of an energy recovery system. The PCM module, melting point of which is around 1673 K, consists of silicon(96.8%), aluminium(2.7%) and marginal amounts of impurities such as Ca, Fe and Ti. The module is covered by a capsule that consists of SiC(58%) and graphite(42%). Physical properties that are required for model predictions were cited from the references. The apparent capacity method and the postiterative method wert used in the mathematical model to describe the phase changing mechanism. Temperature and velocity of fluid are the major variables in the model calculation. For the gas temperature of 1773 K that simulates real operating conditions, the prediction shows that PCM is rapidly melted to axial direction. However, for the gas temperature of 3000 K that is higher than the real conditions, PCM is melted rapidly to the radial direction. The gas velocity has no influence on the melting phenomena of the PCM except when the gas velocity is relatively low. At the low gas velocity asymmetry of the temperature profiles in PCM is obtained.

This paper describes design, fabrication, and evaluation of the conduction cooled high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet for superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES). The HTS magnet is composed of twenty-two of double pancake coils made of 4-ply conductors that stacked two Bi-2223 multi-filamentary tapes with the reinforced brass tape. Each double pancake coil consists of two solenoid coils with an inner diameter of 500 mm, an outer diameter of 691 mm, and a height of 10 mm. The aluminum plates of 3 mm thickness were arranged between double pancake coils for the cooling of the heat due to the power dissipation in the coil. The magnet was cooled down to 5.6 K with two stage Gifford McMahon (GM) cryocoolers. The maximum temperature at the HTS magnet in discharging mode rose as the charging current increased. 1 MJ of magnetic energy was successfully stored in the HTS magnet when the charging current reached 360A without quench. In this paper, thermal and electromagnetic behaviors on the conduction cooled HTS magnet for SMES are presented and these results will be utilized in the optimal design and the stability evaluation for conduction cooled HTS magnets.

Recently, the government is promoting the new renewable energy spread and expansion policy. To this end, the investment and the research is ongoing on the core of the ESS (Energy Storage System) for the Smart Grid that is being spread around the industrialized countries. US and European countries have also conducted a variety of ESS related systems maintenance and improvement in order to induce the activation of the ESS industry. On the other hand, our country has no law and institutional foundation for the introduction of activation ESS, and there is no objective basis for the economic impact of the introduction of the ESS. Therefore, spread and activation of the ESS is not properly conducted. In this paper, the economics of the ESS based on the Korea electric pricing system for the spread and activation of the ESS effectively proposes a technique for analysis. To do this, define the ESS operating model, and propose the best economic analysis method economic analysis comparing each operating model.
