최근 국민소득수준의 향상을 따라 여름철 전력 수요가 폭증하므로 전력안정 공급을 위한 특별 대책이 필요한 실정이고 환경적인 측면이나 수용가 입장에서 만족스러운 새로운 냉·난방, 전기 공급시스템의 개발·적용이 필요하다. 선진국의 경우, 소규모의 집단에너지 공급이 주류를 이루고 있으며 특히 소규모 열병합 발전시 생산되는 전기, 지역난방열 이외에 냉방에 필요한 냉수를 중앙열원에서 동빌딩을 중심으로하는 구역형 집단에너지 시스템(Community Energy Supply System)등 소규모지역 난냉방 공급방식이 활성화되어 있으므로, 우리나라에서도 냉방/난방/전기부하 패턴 및 하절기 피크부하 경감에 대한 기여도 등을 고려한 경제성있는 최적시스템 구성이 가능한지 검토할 필요가 있다. 소규모 집단에너지사업은 대규모 사업과는 달리 적정 수요예측이 가능하므로 효율적인 초기 투자가 이루어질 수 있으며, 상업용 및 사업용 빌딩 등을 중심으로 부하밀도가 높은 구역을 대상으로 하명서 해당 부하패턴에 적합한 효율적인 시스템의 구성을 통해 수익성이 확보된다면 국가 에너지절약 및 한전의 여름철 전력 피크부하 경감, 대기 환경공해 감소, 도심 도시미관 향상 등의 사업효과가 기대된다. 본문에서는 이러한 소규모 집단에너지시스템 개요 및 국내외 공급 현황, 국내 적용환경, 적용 가능에너지 검토 열원시스템의 기본방향 등에 대하여 언급하고자 한다.

This paper introduces an effective methodology for reliability-based design optimization of electromagnetic products, where a performance measure approach is adopted to accurately assess probabilistic constrains. Two design problems consisting of a loudspeaker and a superconducting magnetic energy storage system are considered. The efficiency of the proposed method in evaluating the failure probability of performances during the optimization process are compared with the existing method based on the reliability index approach. Moreover, in term of the accuracy of probability failure values, optimized design results are examined with reference values obtained from the Monte Carlo simulation.

In order to resolve the energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks, a multihop transmission technique is utilized. However, multihop transmission in wireless sensor networks (WSN) has pros and cons. It reduces total energy consumption, while it may cause a severe decrease in network lifetime. To solve this problem, we suggest the so called strike and bargaining algorithm (SBA). The routing path is determined by wages of nodes. Each node negotiates its wage with their neighbor nodes and determine a reasonable value to reach a optimally balanced point. By analysis and simulations, we show SBA can achieve a near optimal solution.

전기자동차에서 주 에너지원은 축전지이다. 현재전기자동차용 축전지는 에너지 밀도 및 파워 밀도가 커지고 있지만 기존의 자동차에 비해서 주행거리가 짧다. 그래서 전지관리장치(Battery management System : BMS) 개발목적은 효율적으로 배터리를 관리하여 전기자동차의 전력시스템을 최적으로 운전하는 데 있다. 주행 중 즉 모터링시 축전시의 상태에 따라 인버터의 운전을 최적으로 하기 위한 제어방식을 도입하고 충전시에도 축전시의 충전상태에 따른 충전모드를 선택하여 제어하는 방식을 도입하고자 한다. 전기자동차 전력시스템의 최적운전을 실현할 수 있고 이를 통해 주행거리를 증대시킬수 있는 전기자동차 용 Ni-MH 전지 제어 알고리즘을 이용하여 개발한 BMS에 대해 소개한다.

The paper reviews the state of art in the design of liquefaction processes for the production of liquified natural gas, and addresses key design aspects to be considered in the design and how these design issues are systematically reflected in industrial applications. Various design options to improve energy efficiency of refrigeration cycles are discussed, including cascaded or multi-level pure refrigeration cycles which are used for covering wide range of cooling temperature, as well as mixed refrigerant cycle which can maintain a simple structure. Heat integration technique has been used for graphically examining differences of commercial cycles discussed in this paper, while energy efficiency and economics of commercial liquefaction processes has been summarized. Discussion also has been made about how to select the most appropriate set of drivers for compressors used in the liquefaction plant.

Building Energy commissioning is a process in which verifying and making the document during entire lifetime including planning, design, construction, test run of equipment, and maintenance to minimize the operational problems of building energy efficiency. The general commissioning is replacing the equipment or reconstructing the skin to achieve the performance for the design. This process is expensive and has the disadvantage of taking a long payback period by one operation. In this paper, we studied the monitoring-based commissioning (MBCx) to increase the energy efficiency of buildings through analyzing energy use data. MBCx is modeling a building energy, comparing the real energy use with it, detecting the cause of falling the efficiency, and running the optimal operation regularly.

In this research, the intensity of solar energy, which was injected to the different angle plane every hour day by day, was technically documented and quantitatively analyzed through actual observations. In order to group every days into days with similar intensity, graph was drawn with respect to time for every day and each area value under the curve was calculated. Then, the search for grouped days having similar intensity curve patterns was carried out. In order to maximize the efficiency of solar energy systems, the optimum incident angle of absorber plate was derived.

This paper explores the optimal processing element (PE) configuration for ultrasonic image processing at different resolutions ($256{\times}256$, $768{\times}1,024$, and $1,024{\times}1,280$). To determine the optimal PE configuration, this paper evaluates the impacts of a data-per-processing element (DPE) ratio that is defined as the amount of image data directly mapped to each PE on system performance and both energy and area efficiencies using architectural and workload simulations. This paper illustrates the correlation between DPE ratio and PE architecture for a target implementation in 130nm technology. To identify the most efficient PE structure, seven different PE configurations were simulated for ultrasonic image processing. Experimental results indicate that the highest energy efficiencies were achieved at PEs=1,024, 4,096, and 16,384 for ultrasonic images at $256{\times}256$, $768{\times}1,024$, $1,024{\times}1,280$ resolutions, respectively. Furthermore, the maximum area efficiencies were yielded at PEs=256 ($256{\times}256$ image) and 4,096 ($768{\times}1,024$ and $1,024{\times}1,280$ images), respectively.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to optimize the movement of mobile sink node, called AMSP(Adaptive Mobile Sink Path) for mobile sensor network environments. Currently available studies usually suffer from unnecessary data transmission resulting from random way point approach. To address the problem, we propose a method which uses the Hilbert curve to create a path. The proposed method guarantees shorten transmission distance between the sink node and each sensor node by assigning orders of the curve according to sensor node density. Furthermore, The schedule of the sink node is informed to all of the sensing nodes so that the Duty Cycle helps the network be more energy efficient. In our experiments, the proposed method outperforms the existing works such as TTDD and CBPER by up to 80% in energy consumption.

본 논문은 인간의 보행에 대한 에너지 분석을 통해 biped robot의 설계 단계에서 최적의 보행제어인자를 추출하기 위한 연구이다. 에너지 효율이 높은 보행인자 값을 얻기 위해 인간의 보행영상을 획득하고, 획득된 영상을 5-link biped robot model로 근사화하여 dynamics와 energy를 분석한다. 또한 link의 길이 비율과 link의 무게, link의 관성의 변화를 통해 5-link로 근사화된 인간의 보행 효율과 기구적 요소 사이의 민감도를 판단할 수 있다. 인간과 자유도가 다른 biped robot이 인간과 같은 보행을 위하여 설계단계에서 고려되어야할 중요한 기구적 요소가 이러한 민감도를 통해 구해진다.
