This research was conducted to provide basic data of surplus heat for designing solar heat-storage systems. The surplus heat is defined as the heat exhausted by forced ventilations from the greenhouses to control the greenhouse temperature within setting limits. Various simulations were performed to compare the differences of thermal behaviors among greenhouse types as well as among several domestic areas by using pseudo-TMY (Typical Meteorological Year) data manipulated based both on the weather data supplied from Korean Meteorological Administration and the TMY data supplied from The Korean Solar Energy Society. Additional analyses were carried out to examine the required heating energy together with some others such as the energy balances in greenhouses to be considered. The results of those researches are summarized as follows. Regional surplus solar heats for the nine regions with 4-type were analyzed. The results showed that the ratio of surplus solar energy compared to heating energy was the highest in Jeju (about 212.0~228.0%) for each greenhouse type. And followed by Busan, Kwangju, Jinju, Daegu, Daejeon, Jeonju, Suwon and Daekwanryung. And irrespective of greenhouse types, surplus solar energy alone could cover up nearly all of the required supplemental heating energy except for a few areas.

This study is about an analysis of surplus solar energy by important greenhouse type using Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) data which was secured in order to provide basic data for designing an optimum thermal storage system to accumulate surplus solar energy generated in greenhouses during the daytime. The 07-auto-1 and 08-auto-1 types showed similar heat budget tendencies regardless of greenhouse types. In other words, the ratios of surplus solar energy were about 20.0~29.0% regardless of greenhouse type. About 54.0~225.0% and 53.0~218.0% of required heating energy will be able to be supplemented respectively according to the greenhouse types. The 07-mono-1 and 07-mono-3 types also showed similar heat budget tendencies regardless of greenhouse types. In other words, the ratios of surplus solar energy were about 20.0~26.0% and 21.0~27.0% respectively by greenhouse type. About 57.0~211.0% and 62.0~228.0% of required heating energy will be able to be supplemented by greenhouse type. Except for Daegwallyeong and Suwon area, other regions can cover heating energy only by surplus solar energy, according to the study.

This study is about an analysis of surplus solar energy by important greenhouse types as well as setting temperature different by using Typical Meteorological Year data which was secured in order to provide basic data for designing an optimum thermal storage system to accumulate surplus solar energy generating in greenhouses during the daytime. Depending on the setting temperatures of $15{\sim}19^{\circ}C$ for greenhouse heating during day and night, surplus heat amounts were varied at the rate of about $0.2{\sim}6.9%/4^{\circ}C$ with some variations according to the greenhouse types and regions. On the other hand, the variations of supplemental heat requirements were about $29.7{\sim}50.0%/4^{\circ}C$. Depending on the setting temperatures for greenhouse ventilations(low $25{\sim}29^{\circ}C$ and high $27{\sim}31^{\circ}C$), surplus heat amounts were varied at the rate of about $-9.9{\sim}-35.6%/4^{\circ}C$ in auto-type greenhouse. But in single-type greenhouses, they were about $-5.1{\sim}-13.4%/4^{\circ}C$. There were not significant changes in supplemental heat amounts depending on setting temperatures of ventilation for both greenhouse types and regions.

This research analyzed surplus solar energy in Venlo-type greenhouse using acquired typical meteorological year (TMY) data for designing a heat storage system for the surplus solar energy generated in the greenhouse during the day. In the case of paprika, the region-dependent heating loads for Jeju, Jinju, and Daegwanryong area were approximately 1,107.8 GJ, 1,010.0 GJ, and 3,118.5 GJ, respectively. The surplus solar energy measured in Jeju area was 1,845.4 GJ, Jinju area 1,881.8 GJ, and Daegwanryong area 2,061.8 GJ, with the Daegwanryong area showing 11.7% and 9.6% higher than the Jeju region and Jinju region respectively. In the case of chrysanthemums, regional heating loads were determined as 1,202.5 GJ for the Jeju region, 1,042.0 GJ for the Jinju region, and 3,288.6 GJ for the Daegwanryong region; the regional differences were similar to those for paprika. The recorded surplus solar energy was 1,435.2 GJ, 1,536.2 GJ, and 1,734.6 GJ for Jeju, Jinju, and Daegwanryong region, respectively. The Daegwanryong region recorded heating loads 20.9% and 12.9% higher than in the Jeju and Jinju region, respectively. From the above, it can be said that cultivating paprika, compared to cultivating chrysanthemums, requires less heating energy regardless of the region and tends to yield more surplus solar energy. Moreover, if the Daekwan Pass region is excluded, the surplus solar energy exceeds the energy required for heating. Although the required heating energy differs according to regions and crops, cucumbers were found to require the highest amount, followed by chrysanthemum and paprika. The amount of surplus solar energy was the highest in the case of paprika, followed by cucumber and chrysanthemum.

전력수요가 적을 때 잉여전력을 저장하고 전력수요가 많은 시간대나 전기료가 비싼 시간대에 저장된 전력을 사용함으로서 전력의 활용 효율을 높이고, 전력공급 시스템을 안정화하기 위해 에너지저장시스템의 연구가 최근에 활발히 진행되고 있다. 또한 공장, 산업용빌딩이나 병원 등 고르고 안정적인 전력의 수요는 늘어나고 있으며, 화석 연료 고갈 문제로 인한 신재생에너지 발전의 중요성도 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 무정전 전원장치, 태양광발전시스템, 에너지 저장 시스템을 모두 통합하였다. 제안한 시스템은 3상 인버터, 부스트 컨버터, 양방향 컨버터, 사이리스터 스위치로 구성된다. 인버터는 계통과 연계되거나 UPS 동작 시 AC 전력을 만든다. 부스트 컨버터는 태양광 패널과 연결되어 MPPT 제어를 수행한다. 양방향 컨버터는 잉여전력을 배터리에 저장을 하고, 전력이 부족할 시에는 배터리의 전력을 방전한다. 사이리스터 스위치는 정전 시 계통과 부하를 끊어주는 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 15kW급 시스템으로 구현하여 검증하였다.

현재는 화석연료에서 신재생에너지로 에너지 패러다임이 변화하고 있는 시점이며, 신재생에너지를 보다 효율적으로 운영하여 효율성을 높이기 위해 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 전기 에너지는 생산과 동시에 소비해야 한다는 특성을 가지고 있으며, 그 중 태양광 발전과 같은 신재생에너지원은 기후요인에 의해 출력이 결정되기 때문에 수요전력보다 공급전력이 많아 잉여전력이 생기거나 공급전력보다 수요전력이 많아 부족전력이 발생하여 전력품질을 악화시킬 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 태양광 발전의 단점을 보완하기 위해서는 잉여전력이 발생한 경우는 Battery와 Electrolyzer를 이용하여 에너지를 저장하고 부족전력이 발생한 경우는 Battery를 이용하여 보상하는 방법을 제안하였다.

A greenhouse heating system to improve heat pump performance using inside and outside air of greenhouse as a heat source selectively and cut $CO_2$ enrichment costs by delay of greenhouse ventilation was developed. In this system, thermal storage modes divided into inside circulation mode using surplus solar energy and outside circulation mode using outside air heat. The thermal storage modes were designed to be switched mutually according to inside greenhouse temperature and six temperature values were input to control the heat pump operating, thermal storage mode switching and greenhouse heating automatically. Operating characteristics of this system were tested in a plastic greenhouse of non-ventilation condition. The results of test showed that the inside circulation mode began at about 11:00 and lasted for about 210 minutes and inside greenhouse temperature was maintained between $20{\sim}28^{\circ}C$ in spite of non-ventilation. System heating COP of the inside circulation mode in the daytime was 3.35, which was 36% and 25% higher than that of the outside circulation modes in the nighttime and daytime respectively.

In this study, previously reported surplus solar energy-related study result and current status of fan coil unit (FCU) for cooling and heating installed in the current sites were briefly examined and then a method to determine the number of FCUs required to recover surplus solar energy was schematically proposed to provide basic data for researchers and technical engineers in this field. The maximum, mean, and minimum outside temperatures during the experiment period were about $28.2^{\circ}C$, $4.4^{\circ}C$, and $-11.5^{\circ}C$, respectively. The horizontal surface solar radiation level outside the greenhouse was in a range of $0.8-20.5MJ{\cdot}m^{-2}$ and mean and total solar radiation were $10.8MJ{\cdot}m^{-2}$ and $1,187.5MJ{\cdot}m^{-2}$. The mean temperature and relative humidity in the greenhouse during the daytime were in a range of 18.8-45.5 and 53.5-77.5%. The total surplus solar energy recovered from the greenhouse during the experiment period was approximately 6,613.4MJ, which could supplement about 6.7% of the total heating energy 98,600.2 MJ. In addition, the number of FCUs installed for heating varies case to case, although similar FCUs are used. Thus, it is necessary to study the installation height, orientation and installation distance as well as the appropriate number of FCUs from the efficient and economical viewpoints. The required numbers of FCUs for surplus solar energy recovery were 8.4-10.9units and 6.1-8.0units based on air mass and circular flow rate that passed through the FCUs. Considering calculation methods and the risks such as efficiency and use environments of FCUs, it was found that about nine units (one unit per $24m^3$ approximately) needed to be installed. The required number of FCUs for surplus solar energy recovery was around one unit per $24m^3$ approximately.

현재 온실 난방에 주로 이용되고 있는 난방기는 대부분이 화석에너지를 연료로 사용하고 있다. 따라서 생산비의 가중이 불가피하며, 또한 연소 과정에서 발생하는 배기 가스로 인하여 환경 오염이 문제시되고 있다. 따라서 태양에너지를 보다 더 적극적으로 활용할 수 있는 기술의 개발이 요구된다. 태양에너지를 시설 농업에 적극적으로 이용하기 위해서는 주간에 밀도가 낮은 태양에너지를 고밀도로 축열하여 기온이 급강하하는 야간의 보온에 활용하여야 한다. 주간의 온실내 잉여 태양에너지를 축열할수 있는 상변화 온도 3$0^{\circ}C$ 수준의 잠열축열재를 개발하기 위하여 수행한 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. SCD에 Borax를 0.0~5.0wt% 첨가하여 과냉도를 25.$0^{\circ}C$에서 $1.5^{\circ}C$ 이하로 조절하였으며, Borax의 적정 함량은 3.0wt%였다. 2. SCD에 Carbopol을 0.0~3.0wt% 첨가하여 상분리량을 70.0%에서 0.0%로 조절하였으며, Carbopol의 적정 함량은 1.5wt%였다.3. 축열재 내구성 검증을 위하여 0~1,500회의 상변화 사이클을 수행하였다. 이때 상변화 온도의 변화량이 $\pm$1.$0^{\circ}C$ 이하, 잠열량 변화가 $\pm$2.0 kacl/kg 이하로서 안정된 값을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 축열재의 수명을 10년까지는 보장할 수 있는 것으로 판단되었다.
