최근 Light-emitting diodes (LEDs: 발광다이오드) 디바이스의 고휘도, 저전력, 긴 수명, 다양한 색연출 가능, 친환경 소자 등의 장점으로 LED 디바이스가 flat panel display(FPD)의 back light unit (BLU) 를 비롯해 실내 외 조명과 자동차 전조등 분야 이외에도 의료, 인테리어 사업을 비롯한 각종 전자 통신 기기의 정보 처리 기기의 표시소자 등, 여러 제품 군에 적용되는 가운데 큰 관심을 받고 있다. 하지만 이러한 여러 가지 장점에도 불구하고 LED 모듈에서의 junction temperature가 높은 방열 특성이 나쁘다는 단점은 아직 해결되지 않고 있는 실정이다. LED 소자 모듈에서의 junction temperature가 높을 경우 소비되는 에너지가 많을 뿐만 아니라 LED 소자의 발광효율이 떨어지고 수명이 급격히 저하 되어, 결국에는 신뢰성 특성이 현저히 저하 되는 결과가 초래되기 때문이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 LED 디바이스의 열저항을 낮추기 위해 고방열 세라믹 기판을 이용해 LED 디바이스의 방열 특성을 향상시킨 결과를 제시한다. 고방열 세라믹 기판을 제작하여 LED 칩을 실장시킨 다음 LED 열저항 특성을 측정하였다. 이때 고방열 세라믹 기판은 Al2O3와 AlN이 사용되었으며 제작한 세라믹 기판의 강도, 표면 roughness, 미세구조 등을 살펴보고 이 기판들의 열전도도를 측정하였다. 제작 공정방법에 따라 세라믹 기판의 미세구조를 비롯한 기계적, 열적 특성이 현저히 변하였으며 이때 LED 칩을 실장 하여 측정한 열저항 특성 값도 함께 변하였다. Al2O3의 열저항 값은 3.003 K/W 으로 측정 되었으며, AlN의 열저항 값은 3.003k/W 으로 측정되었다.

Rapid spread of intermittent renewable energy has amplified the instability and uncertainty of power systems. The Korea Power Exchange (KPX) promoted efficient management by opening the power brokerage market in 2019. By combining small-scale intermittent renewable energy with a flexible facility through the power brokerage market, the KPX aims to develop a virtual power plant system that will allow the conversion of existing intermittent renewable energy into collective power plants. However, the participation rate of renewable power owners in the power brokerage market is relatively low because other markets such as the small solar power contract market or the Korea Electric Power Corporation power purchase agreement are more profitable. In this study, we used a choice experiment to determine the attributes affecting the participation rate in the power brokerage market for 113 renewable power owners and estimate the value of the power brokerage market. According to the estimation results, a low smart meter installation cost, low profit variations, long contract periods, and few clearances increased the probability of participation. Moreover, the average value of the power brokerage market was estimated to be 2.63 million KRW per power owner.

Through the smart factory construction project, sensor data such as power, vibration, pressure, and temperature are collected from production facilities, and services such as predictive maintenance, defect prediction, and abnormality detection are developed through data analysis. In general, in the case of manufacturing data, because the imbalance between normal and abnormal data is extreme, an anomaly detection service is preferred. In this paper, FFT method is used to extract feature data of manufacturing data as a pre-stage of the anomaly detection service development. Using this method, we classified the produced products and confirmed results. In other words, after FFT of the representative pattern for each product, we verified whether product classification was possible or not, by calculating correlation coefficient.

We applied IT ecosystem analysis to Smart Grid system in this paper and thereby compared various arguments about Smart Grid technologies against the reality of the power generation and distribution in South Korea with a special attention to the power distribution side. Our work attempts to propose policy implications in the government-level based on a firm-level analysis using the framework of the competitive strategy and advantage. The Smart Grid initiative is expected to enhance the efficiency in the power generation and distribution. In addition, the Smart Grid initiative aims at capturing the opportunities in the electric power business such as parts, components, supplies, and system products in the global arena. Prerequisites of smart distribution system include building infrastructure based on smart distribution parts, information systems, communication technologies, and developing various application programs and interfaces that would interact with the consumers. Consumers are expected to play an integral role by changing their consumption patterns in response to dynamic pricing and quality choices enabled by the smart distribution technologies. In order to induce the consumers to participate actively in the program, firms and policy makers should consider providing consumers economic incentives and proper education for better understanding of new technologies. Our work helps policy makers and firm better understand the nature of technology and stakeholders for the successful implementation of smart distribution technologies.

While electricity demand is generally increasing, stably controlling supply is becoming a serious challenge because renewable energies are becoming popular and often their productions are dependent on the weather. The 'demand response' programs can be used to complement the problems of renewable energies, and therefore their role is becoming increasingly important. This study provides an analysis of a demand response pilot that was conducted in Korea. The study first focused on questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews, and the data was used to perform a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) analysis. The goal of the pilot was to have the residential users reduce their power consumptions when an energy reduction mission is issued during peak load hours. The experimental subjects consisted of two groups with different characteristics. Subjects in group A obtained smart meters as an optional function of IoT platform service provided by a mobile service company, and received a charge deduction as their compensation. Subjects in group B either voluntarily purchased smart meters as individuals or received them by participating in an energy self-sufficient village program that was run by a local government, and were entitled to a donation as their compensation. With the analysis, group A was found to fit the extended technology acceptance model that includes perceived playfulness in addition to perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. On the contrary, group B failed to fit the model well, but perceived usefulness was found to be relatively more important compared to group A. The results indicate that the residential energy groups' behavior changes are dependent on each group's characteristics, and group-specific DR design should be considered to improve the effectiveness of DR.

Problem of greenhouse gases associated with global warming and the world rise in fuel oil prices due to the depletion of fossil fuel has attracted attention. For this reason, maritime transport business, has shown interest in green-ship technology to reduce the consumption of fuel and reduce greenhouse gas for environmental protection. Power system of the ship is one of the most important factors for safe operation. Therefore, at design of ship power system, most of existing vessel used comparative large capacity generator in order to respond peak load such as bow thruster, crane and etc. In the navigation of ship, marine generators most would be operated at low load operation. In the low load operation of the generation rate of 50% or less, the operation efficiency of the generator it deteriorated, to consume more fuel oil. It also, it means that adversely effect the life of the generator. In this paper, studied how to apply for a secondary battery in container ship that relatively frequent arrival and departure in port. As a result, in order to apply the secondary battery to increase the operating efficiency of the generator during the voyage, it was confirmed that it is possible to reduce fuel consumption.

Regulatory agency and licensee are preparing for the site restoration of Kori unit 1, the first commercial NPP in Korea, scheduled for 2031. Developing regulatory guidelines and strategies is essential for effective restoration work. Unfortunately, Korea does not have experience of site restoration of commercial NPPs. Therefore, it is important to review cases from experienced countries to establish a strategy and regulatory standards. The U.S. has had numerous soil remediation experiences using RESRAD and MARSSIM. However, formalized evaluation methodologies for subsurface soil have not yet been established in MARSSIM. This survey focused on subsurface soil remediation by reviewing the five decommissioned NPPs under regulation of the US NRC. Overall process of remediating a contaminated subsurface soil and groundwater was reviewed to identify considerations and lessons that could be applicable in Korea. In addition, an applied methodology for evaluation of contaminated subsurface soil and related major issues between regulatory agency and licensees were reviewed in detail to support establishment of remediation strategy for Kori unit 1.
