This paper describes solar light collecting system which employs parabolic reflector and Fresnel lens and its industrial application. We have introduced second-stage optical system so that it makes optical fiber overcome its numerical aperture limitation and also it makes focused light become collimated, which results in decreased light energy density. As result of these, light collecting efficiency become maximized and the system does not require separate cooling apparatus any more. The developed solar lighting system together with artificial light source like LED has been applied to plant factory as a hybrid lighting source. This makes us save electric energy for artificial lighting during day time. The intensity of LED light in the hybrid lighting system is controlled automatically according to ambient-light-sensor installed in the system so that the light intensity for a plant always keeps the same level no matter how the sun light changes. For a plant factory whose size is 330 square meters, when solar lighting system is applied, 28,080KWh electric energy can be saved per month.2 times.

Thermal condition according to the operation attitude of a satellite in orbit would be essential to be known because the orbit attitude is a dominant factor to affect satellite thermal design. In this paper, the change in space thermal environment and the thermal effect in thermal design are studied for a low earth orbit satellite according to the yaw motion. The present satellite retains sun-pointing attitude during daylight due to the fixed type solar arrays. And it also moves along the orbit with constant yaw motion in a longitudinal axis so that a star tracker which is a star sensor for satellite's attitude control always looks into the deep space. This attitude is considered in its better visibility to the stars for a successful mission operation. Also, it is required to access the corresponding thermal effects due to the yaw motion. Therefore, we try to verify these by the thermal analysis for the satellite thermal model with the yaw motion.

By utilizing OSMI (Ocean Scanning Multi-spectral Imager) onboard KOMPSAT-1, the moon can be imaged. Because the moon has no atmosphere and reflects sun lights at a constant rate, it can be the radiance source for calibration of OSMI. But there are a lot of risks which made KOMPSAT-1 enter into safe-hold mode. So planning the imaging of the moon with OSMI should be determined seriously with consideration to information on KOMPSAT-1 operation, the moon, the sun, etc. But it takes a long time for determining the imaging time of the moon using MCE(Mission Control Element) simulator and there are operational problems to be solved. In this paper, fast simulator for determining imaging time for the moon with OSMI has been developed. The proper timeline for imaging the moon and the position of the moon image in OSMI image coordinates and the phase of the moon are determined. STK was used for acquiring information on KOMPSAT-1, the moon, the sun and the characteristitcs of OSMI are considered. As a result, we can determine imaging time of the moon with OSMI much faster and efficiently.

Existing IoT sensor nodes operate by receiving energy from a battery. But due to the characteristics of sensor nodes that are widely distributed for collecting various information, there is a disadvantage that the battery needs to be periodically replaced. In order to overcome this disadvantage, energy can be harvested from sunlight or high-temperature steam through an energy harvesting system. However, since the harvested power is quite limited, it is difficult to use applications that require instantaneous high power such as communication. We propose the design of the high-power energy harvesting system where a switch control unit compensates for the limited harvested energy with the energy storage device such as a capacitor. To verify the proposed system, an energy harvesting system based on sunlight was implemented, and we confirmed the maximum supply power to the application and the maximum supply time according to capacity of the energy storage device.

This study was conducted to the improvement of solar light-based artificial light supply system and effect of lettuce cultivation. The artificial light supply system was consisted of units such as light source, power, system measurement and controller. The light source supply was composed of a solar transmitter and an LED lamp. The power supply consisted of an leakage breaker, SMPS, LED controller and relay. The solar transmitter was made of a quartz optical fiber with optimal light transmission. Artificial light used white lamp among LEDs. System measurement and control consisted of touch screen, Zigbee communication module and light quantity sensor. The results of test confirmed that the LED light is automatically activated when the intensity measured by the light intensity sensor is 200 μmolm^-2s^-1 or less. Moreover, the leaf length, root length, chlorophyll content and root fresh weight of optical fiber treatment was hight than LED lamp treatment. Therefore, it can be inferred that the energy-saving solar light collector device can be effective in the indoor lettuce production. However, the use of LED lamp is also recommended to assure the availability of sufficient sunlight in cloudy and rainy days.

In this study, we conducted a study to predict the photovoltaic power by constructing the sensor based meteorological data observation system and the accurate terrain data obtained by using LiDAR surveying. The average sunshine hours in 2018 is 4.53 hours and the photovoltaic power is 2,305 MWh. In order to analyze the effect of photovoltaic power on the installation angle of solar modules, we installed module installation angle at $10^{\circ}$ intervals. As a result, the generation time was 4.24 hours at the module arrangement angle of $30^{\circ}$, and the daily power generation and the monthly power generation were the highest, 3.37 MWh and 102.47 MWh, respectively. Therefore, when the module arrangement angle is set to $30^{\circ}$, the generation efficiency is increased by about 4.8% compared with the module angle of $50^{\circ}$. As a result of analyzing the influence of the seasonal photovoltaic power by the installation angle of the solar module, it was found that the photovoltaic power was high in the range of $40^{\circ}{\sim}50^{\circ}$, where the module angle was large from November to February when the weather was cold. From March to October, it was found that the photovoltaic power amount is $10^{\circ}{\sim}30^{\circ}$ with small module angle.

반도체 소자, 바이오 센서, 태양전지 등에서 집적도 및 소자 성능 향상을 위해서 최근 실리콘 소재를 위주로 한 수직 정렬형 와이어 어레이와 같은 3차원 구조의 소재에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 깊은 반응성 이온 식각법(DRIE: Deep Reactive Ion Etching)과 같은 건식 식각법으로 종횡비가 높은 실리콘 와이어 어레이를 제작할 수 있지만 시간과 공정비용이 많이 소요된다는 단점이 있고 양산성이 없다. 이를 극복하기 위해서 VLS (Vapor-Liquid-Solid)방법이 연구되고 있지만 촉매로 사용되는 금속의 오염으로 인한 소자 성능의 저하를 피할 수가 없다. 본 연구진에서 연구하는 있는 전기화학적 식각법을 사용하면 이러한 문제를 극복하고 매우 정렬이 잘 된 실리콘 와이어 어레이를 제작할 수 있으며 최적 조건을 정립하면 균일하고 재현성 있는 다양한 종횡비의 기판 수직형 실리콘 와이어 어레이를 제작할 수 있다. 또한, 귀금속 촉매 식각법은 금속 촉매를 사용하여 식각을 하지만 VLS 방법과 달리 Top-down 방법을 사용하기 때문에 최종 공정에서 용액에 담구어 귀금속을 식각하여 제거 하면 귀금속 촉매가 실리콘을 오염시키는 일은 배제할 수 있다. 귀금속 촉매 식각법의 경우 사용되는 촉매의 다양화, 포토리소그래피 방법, 그리고 식각 용액의 조성 변화에 따라 다양한 형상의 와이어 어레이를 제작할 수 있으며 이에 대한 결과를 소개하고자 한다. 3차원 실리콘 와이어 어레이를 사용하여 동심원형 p-n접합 와이어 어레이를 제작하면 소수캐리어의 확산거리가 짧아도 짧은 동심원 방향으로 캐리어를 포집할 수 있고 태양광의 입사는 와이어 어레이의 수직 방향이므로 태양광의 흡수도 효율적으로 할 수 있기 때문에 실리콘의 효율 향상을 달성할 수 있다. 이에 대한 본 연구진의 연구결과 및 최근 연구 동향을 발표하고자 한다.

1. 배경 최근 IoT 기술이 발전함에 따라 각종 전자기기에 들어가는 센서들이 점점 늘어나고 있다. 특히 사용자 중심의 기기들은 기술이 발전함에 따라 집적화가 이루어지면서, 하나의 기기에서 온도, 습도, 조도 등의 다양한 정보를 처리하고 있다. 이에 따라 더 많은 기능을 사용하기 위해, 소모 전력 또한 점차 증가하고 있다. 그러나 부피는 한정되어 있어, 기존 배터리만으로는 증가하는 소모 전력을 모두 보완하기 어렵다. 또한 대표적인 사용자 중심 기기인 스마트폰에서는, 가장 많은 전력을 소모하는 부분이 점점 커지고 있다. 이에 대한 대책으로 버려지는 에너지를 수확하여 전기적인 에너지로 바꿔주는 에너지 하베스팅 기술이 각광을 받고 있다. 에너지 하베스팅 기술은 바람, 진동, 인체의 움직임 등의 기계적 에너지, 태양광, 실내등의 빛 에너지를 전기적인 에너지로 바꿔주는 기술을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 강유전체 고분자 내부에 양자점이 임베딩된 박막을 이용하여, 스마트폰에서 발생하는 빛 에너지와 손가락으로 디스플레이를 터치할 때 발생하는 기계적인 에너지를 모두 수확할 수 있는 새로운 소자를 제시하였다. 소자 내부에 있는 양자점은 빛 에너지를 산란 혹은 흡수하여 발광한 후, 고분자 내부의 전반사를 통해 양 옆에 있는 태양전지로 빛을 전달한다. 또한 컴포짓의 매트릭스를 이루고 있는 강유전체 폴리머인 P(VDF-TrFE)는 강유전 특성을 통해 마찰전기 에너지를 효율적으로 전기 에너지로 전환할 수 있다. 강유전체 특성에 의해 P(VDF-TrFE) 내부에 정렬된 Polarization은 퀀텀닷에 양자구속 스타크 효과(Quantum Confined Stark Effect)를 일으켜 더 긴 파장을 방출한다. 이렇게 바뀐 파장은 실리콘 태양전지에서 더 많이 흡수할 수 있는 영역으로 방출되어 태양전지 출력의 증가를 일으킨다. 마지막으로 실리콘 태양전지의 출력 증가를 보여줌으로써 이를 실험적으로 입증했다.
