In this study, a new shape of wind turbine with horizontal axis has been proposed. The proposed wind turbine has two pairs of 3 tiltable blades which minimizes air resistance during the reverse rotational direction. Under a given wind speed, 3D numerical simulations on tiltable blades were performed for various TSRs(tip-speed-ratios). Four cases of rotational position was considered to analyze the torque and wind power generated on the blade surfaces. The results show that the maximum wind power occurs at the TSR of 0.2. Due to the blade tilting, the wind passes through the blade without air resistance at the reverse rotational direction. The torque is mainly caused by pressure differences between the front and rear surface of the blade, and it becomes maximum when the blade is located at the azimuth angle of 330°.

Using wood pellets, which are used as fuel for thermal power generation plants, as test specimens, the minimum spontaneous ignition temperatures according to the size of the container for the test specimens were measured, and by applying the Frank-Kamenetskii theories on thermal energy to these temperatures, the danger factor of the materials were calculated by deriving the apparent activation energies. The results confirmed that the ignition threshold temperature decreased as the size of the container increased and that the spontaneous ignition energy was 37.83 kcal/mol. The results also confirmed that the larger the container for the test specimens was the time to arrive at the spontaneous ignition time and maximum temperature also increased.

현재 가로등의 93.3[%]를 차지하고 있는 나트륨램프는 색상이 적황색이며, 시력에 장애와 피로감을 주어 인체에 해로우므로 고효율 램프로 교체되고 있으며 백열전구는 전력을 많이 소모하고 잦은 고장으로 빈번한 대체와 유지보수를 필요로 하므로 LED를 선택하면, 유지보수 비용과 안전성, 에너지 효율성면에서 큰 강점을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 에너지 효율이 높은 LED 가로등 제작을 위한 모듈을 제작하여, 열적, 광학적 분석을 하였다. 동작 150분 후, LED Module의 PCB기판 6 Point에서 Thermal Grease와 Thermal Pad의 처리에 의한 열적 변화를 측정하였으며, Thermal Grease 처리는 Thermal Pad 보다 평균 3 $[^{\circ}C]$ 정도 낮은 35 $[^{\circ}C]$결과를 얻었으며, 제작된 LED Module의 광학적평가의 결과는 10 [m] 높이에서 $20\times20\;[m^2]$ 면적에 조사된 조도의 최대,최소값은 10.9~0.6 [lx]이고, 주로 10~5 [lx] 값이 조도의 면적을 차지하였으며, 곡선은 옆으로 넓게 펼쳐진 곡선을 나타내었다.

We propose a new learning method of recurrent neural networks as an effort to solve local minima problem. In this method the network with fixed connection weights is run for a given period time under given time-variant external inputs and initial conditions. The weights are changed in the direction that the total error is maximally decreased by using the steepest gradient method. If the obtained error is not sufficiently small even after iterating this procedure, additional feedback connections are introduced. Then, the external input signal is redefined. And we execute experiments on the recognition of Korean spoken digits as an application of the proposed network.

Renewable energy is growing based on low-carbon green energy government policies. According to this policy, geothermal energy is highly efficient and environmental friendly energy which is being recently expanded. However, construction companies are generated disorderly but their ability has not been verified due to the poor geothermal facility which was reported in the media. In the this paper introduce on Busan region's largest geothermal facility, it was confirmed that thermal efficiency of the underground is close to heat exchanger performance. Therefore the study improving the efficiency of underground heat exchange found progressed. The results showed voids between borehole and ground heat exchanger should not be raised. And then geothermal facilities were installed very successfully through the principle grouting operation. As compared to the energy consumption on the basis of operating results energy usage was less than any other heat sources.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the experimental performance characteristics of a water-to-water geothermal heat pump featuring a vapor refrigerant injection for the production of hot water. The performance of geothermal heat pump with a vapor injection was evaluated by comparing with that of a conventional geothermal heat pump without a vapor injection. For heating operation, the geothermal heat pump with a vapor injection is superior in COP and heating capacity. The vapor injection was more effective for supplying hot water while overloading. The vapor injection was effective for the improvement of the cooling capacity. However, the vapor injection was not effective for the increasing of COP according to the increased input of a compressor. The advantage of vapor injection in water-to-water geothermal heat pump become disappeared while cooling operation with lower part loading.

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion(OTEC) technology is one of the new and renewable energy that utilizes the natural temperature gradient that exists in the tropical ocean between warm surface water and the deep cold water, to generate electricity. The selection of working fluid and the OTEC cycle greatly influence the effect on the system operation, and it's energy efficiency and impacts on the environment. Working fluids of the OTEC are ammonia, R22, R407C, and R410A. In this paper, we compared boiling pressure to optimize OTEC system at $25^{\circ}C$. Also, this paper showed net-power and efficiency according to working fluids for closed cycle and regeneration cycle.

ln competitive electricity market, useful technique would be required to calculate settlement amount for electric power traded between market participants and KPX since a number of market partici-pants would appear and trade electric power. Especially calculation of constrained on/off compensation amount can be complicated, and needs to be understood clearly by market participants to avoid unnecessary disputes. This paper presents a technique to settle more easily constrained on/off compensation amount using surplus function. In this technique, a surplus is calculated by each dispatched values and then the compen-sation amount is calculated by the difference of each surpluses. By doing this, settlement amount can be cal-culated by summing the trading amount and the compensation amount.

Greenhouses should be heated during nights and cold days in order to fit growth conditions in greenhouses. Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems are recognized to be outstanding heating and cooling systems. A horizontal GSHP system with thermal storage tank was installed in greenhouse and investigated the performance characteristics. The reasons for using thermal storage tank were discussed in detail. Thermal storage tank can provide heat for heating load that is larger than GSHP system heating capacity. The results of study showed that the heating coefficient of performance of the heat pump system was 2.69.
