In domestic island regions, the power supply generally depends on diesel generators due to difficulties of grid connection. To solve this issue, recently, the study on the stand-alone microgrid technology and its test are being actively conducted. In this paper, we propose the stand-alone microgrid integration monitoring system for energy independence island. First, we design the software architecture for monitoring of solar, wind, diesel power generation facilities, transmission and distribution of grid network, and energy storage system. Then, we implement the monitoring software that allows administrators to identify and run the monitoring software easily.

With the growing interest in fossil fuel depletion and environmental pollution, railroad cars operating in Korea are in progress as the conversion from diesel to electric vehicles expands. The photovoltaic system, which is applied as an example of the conversion of electric vehicles, is infinite and pollution-free, and can produce energy without generating hazards such as air pollution, noise, heat, and vibration, and maintain fuel transportation and power generation facilities. There is an advantage that is rarely needed. However, the amount of electricity produced depends on the amount of solar radiation by region, and the energy density is low due to the power generation of about 25㎡/ kWp, so a large installation area is required and the installation place has limited problems. In view of these problems, many studies have been applied to fuel cells in the railway field. In particular, the plan to link the fuel cell power generation system railroad power supply system must be linked to the power supply system that supplies power to the railroad, unlike solar and wind power. Therefore, it has a close relationship with railroad cars and the linkage method can vary greatly depending on the system topology. Therefore, in this paper, we study the validity through simulation modeling related to linkage analysis according to system topology.

This paper focuses on the design of a 12-kW small-scale supercritical CO₂ test loop. A theoretical study, stabilization, and optimization of carbon dioxide were carried out with the application of a solar heat source based on solar thermal data in Pohang. The thermodynamic cycle of the test facility is a Rankine cycle (transcritical cycle), which contains liquid, gas, and supercritical CO₂. The system is designed to achieve 6.98% efficiency at a maximum pressure of 12 MPa and a maximum temperature of 70℃. In addition, the optimum turbine inlet temperature and pressure were calculated to increase the cycle efficiency, and the application of an internal heat exchanger (IHX) was simulated. It was found that the maximum efficiency increases to 18.75%. The simulation confirmed that the efficiency of the cycle is 6.7% in May and 6.26% in June.

Recently, many renewable energy generating businesses are ongoing progress due to the introduction of the RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standards) as well as the needs of environmentally friendly energy resources. Researches on photovoltaic system are actively being processed since the photovoltaic system is relatively easy to install and becomes commercialized in many domestic application areas. Furthermore, the floating photovoltaic system is likely to be installed more actively since the conventional photovoltaic system requires relatively large areas of land. Also, the floating photovoltaic system is more efficient than photovoltaic system installed in land due to the operation in lower temperature. However, safety problems such as electric shock could arise since the cable should be installed in the water. In this paper, the leakage current and the voltage rising are measured and analyzed for the case when the cables are damaged connecting the floating photovoltaic system to the grid.

In general, the unidirectional power flow is normal in distribution feeders before activation of distributed power source such as PV. However, the interactive power flow is likely to occur in case of the power system under distributed generation. This interactive power flow can cause an unexpected effect on convectional protection coordination systems designed based only on the unidirectional power flow system. When the power line system encounters a problem, the interactive power flow can be a contributed current source and this makes the fault current bigger or smaller compared to the unidirectional case. The effect of interactive power flow is varied depending on the location of the point to ground fault, relative location of the PV, and connection method. Therefore it is important to analyse characteristics of fault current and interactive flow for various transformer connection and location of the PV. This paper proposes a method of improved protection coordination which can be adopted in the protective device for customers in distribution feeders interconnected with the PV. The proposed method is simulated and analysed using PSCAD/EMTDC under various conditions.

In general, the entire air supply of a bio-safety laboratory (BSL) should be exhausted on the outside to ensure bio-safety, and the air conditioning system should always be operated to maintain a difference in the room pressure. As a result, the annual energy consumption of such a building is approximately five or ten times higher than that of an office building of the same magnitude. Thus, this study applies an actual operating system that targets BSL. The energy consumption is analyzed using the Energy Plus V8.0 program (an energy analysis program), and five kinds of cases that depend on the energy consumption of the basic BSL system are also analyzed. As a result, the energy consumption in Case 1 (basic system) is of 324.95 GJ. When the basic system of Case 1 is compared to that in Case 2 (basic system+passive design with exterior envelopes), an annual energy savings of is 6.9% is achieved. For Case 3 (basic system+Photovoltaic, PV) 12.7% is achieved, and for Case 4 (Solar Geothermal Hybrid System of renewable energy, SGHS) 49.5% is achieved. If a passive design with exterior envelopes and renewable energy system (PV+SGHS) is combined, as in Case 5, the energy consumption would be 118.15 GJ. Therefore, when this last system is compared to a basic system, the passive design with exterior envelopes and renewable energy system (PV+SGHS) can reduce energy consumption by 63.6%.

신재생에너지 발전기는 출력가변성이 크기 때문에 장기 전력수급계획 수립시 발전용량을 얼마로 할 것인가에 대한 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 확률론적 신뢰도 기법에 기반하여 신재생 발전기가 공급신뢰도에 기여하는 용량산정 방법을 제안하고 우리나라 전력수급기본계획에 적용하는 방안을 살펴보았다. 국내 발전설비계획 수립에 사용하는 공급지장확률(LOLP)을 이용하여 신재생 발전기의 공급 신뢰도 기여용량을 산정하고 그 결과를 현재까지 사용해 온 신재생발전기 이용률에 기반한 기여용량 산정결과와 비교하였다. 특히 신재생발전원 중 우리나라에서 많은 부분을 차지하는 풍력 및 태양광에 대하여 용량가치를 산정하였다. 확률적 신뢰도기반 용량가치 산정법은 제5차 전력 수급기본계획 수립시 적용된 바 있으며, 좀 더 정밀한 산정절차를 수립하여 수급계획에 적용할 필요가 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 수급계획 수립에 신재생 발전원의 정확한 용량가치를 산정하는 방식을 선정하는 데 참고자료로 활용될 수 있다.

PV Simulator는 제한된 작업공간에서 태양광발전계통의 주요 설비인 Power Conditioning System (PCS)의 성능을 평가하거나, 제품 출하 전 PCS의 고장유무를 검사하는데 필수적인 장비이다. 최근에 IEC에서 EN50530규정에 따라 PCS의 MPPT평가도 중요하게 되어 동특성이 우수한 PV Simulator가 요구되고 있다. 현재 출시되고 있는 PV Simulator는 대부분 리니어 방식으로서 안정된 출력을 갖지만 효율이 나쁘다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 효율을 높이기 위한 스위칭 방식 PV Simulator의 전력회로와 출력용 LCL필터를 설계하고 그 특성을 검증한다.
