The energy generated by braking vehicle would simply be converted into waste heat by its braking resistors if no other vehicle is accelerating at exactly the same time. Up to 45% of the tractive power of vehicles capable of returning energy to the power supply can be regenerated during braking and that this energy can be used to feed vehicles which are accelerating at the same time. Such synchronized braking and accelerating can not be coordinated, the ESS(energy storage system, here after) stores the energy generated during braking and discharges it again when a vehicle accelerates. The ESS is able to store and discharge energy extremely quickly, consequently enabling a complete exchange of energy between vehicles, even if they are not braking and accelerating at precisely the same time, as is most frequently the case in everyday service. The energy saving rate is related to the headway. If the headway is long/short, the energy saving goes up/down, When the headway is short, the ESS can not save much regenerative energy. The headway of SeoulMetro line 2 as the worst case is very short in Korea urban transit system. So, the energy saving rate will be very low. If the ESSs are applied to another railway system, we can expect that the effectiveness is better than the results of SeoulMetro line 2. This paper presents effects of energy saving obtained by applying the ESS to SeoulMetro line 2.

The concentration process of 2-ethyl hexanol used for the intermediate material in the production of plasticizer is examined for the energy conservation of energy-efficient distillation system instead of the conventional two column system through numerical simulation. Some 41 % of energy conservation is expected from the proposed system, and its conservation principle is explained with column profiles. In addition, not only the operating cost but also investment cost can be reduced for the additional benefit of the column application when the thermally coupled distillation is implemented.

Recently, as the mandatory policy of zero energy building is promoted, policies / systems for transition to Zero Energy School are being promoted, but there is no method to systematically analyze and verify the results of energy saving activities for school buildings. For the study of energy performance verification methodology, the current status of related standards was referred to, and the case study of other methodologies was conducted to examine the tools that can analyze the performance in the field. In addition, this study analyzed the current status and characteristics of energy management through domestic school visits. In this paper, we presented various energy saving projects such as air conditioning and heating facilities, lighting, insulation, change operation behavior, and improve operation methods in new and existing school buildings, and M & V methods for verifying energy savings before and after implementation of energy conservation projects.

It is essential to introduce EERS (Energy Efficiency Resource Standards) according to the trend of the era in which energy saving is emphasized, and it is time to settle down in a stable manner. Electric motors and lighting devices, which account for more than 60% of the nation's electricity use, are the most effective items of the EERS. And accurate methods of calculating savings must be preceded. In this study, the operation rate and load rate are measured through the demonstration of energy use at 400 businesses and the measured rates are used for EERS savings calculation. The results imply that the proposed method can be successfully applied to calculate cost-effective and reliable energy savings.

In order to improve the energy efficiency of ships, this study designed an energy saving system (ESS) algorithm suitable for ship operation characteristics, and analyzed energy consumption patterns based on the operation characteristics of ships equipped with specific systems. Therefore, we intend to study techniques that can reduce the cost of operation. To this end, we intend to study to implement an efficient system that can increase energy efficiency that reflects the characteristics of the propulsion system of the ship based on the power generation system. The vessel to be researched is intended to conduct research on HVACS (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) mounted on LNG carriers, and based on this, it has energy with scalability to be applied to future-based vessels such as electric propulsion ships and autonomous ships. I would like to propose a savings technique.

Purpose: The purpose is to conduct basic research to save energy and improve the safety of manufacturing plant infrastructure by comprehensively monitoring energy management, temperature, humidity, dust and gas, air quality, and machine operation status in small and medium-sized manufacturing plants. Method: To this end, energy-related data and environmental information were collected in real time through digital power meters and IoT sensors, and research was conducted to disseminate and respond to situations for energy saving through monitoring and analysis based on the collected information. Result: We presented an application plan that takes into account energy management, cost reduction, and safety improvement, which are key indicators of ESG management activities. Conclusion: This study utilized various sensor devices and related devices in a smart factory as a practical case study in a company. Based on the information collected through research, a basic system for energy saving and safety improvement was presented.

This paper describes the convergence of the energy technology and information and communication technology (ICT), which helps to consume less energy effectively. While a lot of researches have done against the increase of world energy usage, most of them focus on the efficiency of energy supply, transfer, and consumption equipment. Applying the ICT to decrease energy usage could help to find energy saving factors in the new field that has not been considered as a valuable one before. The big data service with the energy technology and ICT convergence enables correlation analyses of large sets of energy and environmental data. Finding a data tendency with a big data service helps to develop energy saving policies. Furthermore, it could make a further step to develop a new business model. This paper introduces the real cases of the company and project that provides a big data service with the ICT convergence.

일반적으로 건물이나 산업현장에 설치되는 항온항습기 및 공조 장치 등은 외기의 온도나 습도와 관계없이 관리자가 최초 설정한 값을 수동으로 변경시키지 않는 한 항온항습 또는 냉$\cdot$난방 기간중에 연중 또는 수개월 간 항상 일정한 실내 온$\cdot$습도를 유지하기 위해 많은 에너지를 소모하고 있다. 이러한 문제점에 착안하여 비교시험을 통한 실증시험을 수행한 이코노 공조기는 본문과 같은 여러 가지 기능들을 자동으로 수행하게 함으로써 공조부하 절감을 통하여 궁극적으로 에너지 절감을 이룰 수 있도록 제작된 기기이다.
