If a photovoltaic (PV) system is installed in a primary feeder interconnected with the PV system, bi-directional power flow can occur, and then, the magnitude and direction of the fault current can change, depending on the fault location and point of common coupling (PCC) of the PV system, and the time current curve (TCC) cannot be properly coordinated between protection devices. Also, it is difficult to obtain a proper time interval for protection devices because the conventional setting approach is applied, even though the PV system is installed and operating. Therefore, this paper presents three operation modes considering the operational conditions of the PV system to obtain setting values for protection devices. Based on the mode, this paper proposes an algorithm to calculate the optimal protection coordination time interval according to the introduction capacity of the PV system. In addition, this paper performs modelling of a distribution system with the PV system and protection devices by using Off-DAS S/W, and analyzes the characteristics of the time interval between the protection devices, such as substation relays, reclosers, customer relays, and PV customer relays. The simulation results confirmed that the proposed operational modes and setting-value algorithms are useful and effective for protection coordination in a distribution system for a PV system.

The long-term stability of PSCs against visual and UV light, moisture, electrical bias and high temperature is an important issue for commercialization. In particular, since the operation temperature of solar cell can rise above 85℃, a study on thermal stability is required. In this study, the cause of thermal-induced degradation of PSCs was investigated using the SCAPS-1D simulation tool. First, PSCs of TiO₂/CH₃NH₃PbI₃/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au structure were exposed to a constant temperature of 85℃ to observe changes in conversion efficiency and quantum efficiency. Because the EQE reduction above 500 nm was remarkable, we simulated PSCs performance as a function of lifetime, doping density of perovskite and spiro-OMeTAD. Consequently, the main cause of thermal-induced degradation is considered to be the change in the perovskite doping concentration and lifetime due to ion migration of perovskite.

플라즈마 공정에서의 생산률이 플라즈마의 밀도에 비례한다는 많은 연구가 이루어진 후, 초대면적 고밀도 플라즈마 소스의 개발은 플라즈마 소스 개발에서 중요한 부분을 차지하기 시작하였다. 이로 인해, 전자 공명 플라즈마, 유도 결합 플라즈마와 헬리콘 플라즈마 등 새로운 고밀도 플라즈마 개발 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근에는 고밀도 플라즈마 개발과 더불어, 대면적 플라즈마 소스의 개발이 플라즈마 공정 기술의 중요한 이슈가 되고 있는데, 이는 450 mm 이상의 반도체, 2 m${\times}$2 m 이상의 8세대 평판 디스플레이와 1 m${\times}$1 m 태양광 전지 생산 공정에서 플라즈마의 기술이 요구되고 있기 때문이다. 대면적 공정영역의 이러한 경향은 균일한 대면적 고밀도 플라즈마 개발을 촉진시켜왔다. 밀도가 낮은 축전 결합 플라즈마를 제외한, 대면적 공정에 적합한 고밀도 플라즈마원으로 유도 결합 플라즈마와 헬리콘 플라즈마를 선택한 후, 병렬연결 시의 특성을 알기 위하여 ICP와 헬리콘의 단일 튜브와 다수 튜브의 플라즈마 내부, 외부 변수를 측정하여 조사하였다. 두 가지 플라즈마 소스의 비교 실험을 위하여, 자기장을 제외한 모든 조건을 동등하게 한 후 실험을 하였다. 단일 헬리콘 실험을 바탕으로, 대면적 실험에 가장 적합한 자기장의 세기, 자석의 위치 및 튜브의 치수를 정한 후, fractal 구조를 위한 16개 다수 방전을 ICP와 헬리콘을 비교하였다. 병렬연결 시, RF 플라즈마에서는 같은 전압을 가져도, 안테나 디자인을 고려하지 않으면 모든 튜브의 방전이 이루어 지지 않았다. 이를 컴퓨터 모의 전사를 통해 확인하고, 가장 최적화된 안테나를 설계하여 실험을 하였다. ICP에서는 모든 튜브가 방전에 성공한 반면, 헬리콘 플라즈마는 ICP에 10배에 달하는 높은 밀도를 냈으나, 오직 4개 튜브만이 켜지고 안정적으로 방전이 이루어 지지 않았다. ICP의 경우, RF 전송선의 디자인을 통해 파워의 균등 분배가 가능하지만, 헬리콘의 경우 자기장을 추가해서 고려해야 되는 것을 확인하였다. 모든 튜브에 비슷한 자기장을 형성하기 위해서는 자석의 크기가 커지는 문제점이 있으나, 매우 낮은 압력에서 방전이 가능하고, 같은 압력에서 ICP에 비해 10배 이상 달하는 장점이 있다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로, ICP와 헬리콘 플라즈마의 다수 방전에 대한 분류를 하였고, 바로 현장에 투입이 가능한 소스로 판단된다.

The coastal areas around Palau Island and Tonga Island, near the Pacific equator, consist of coral reefs, mangrove and seaweed. In particular, understanding the optical properties of sea surface water in coral reef habitats helps improve the accuracy of remote sensing based habitat mapping and identify tropical ecosystem characteristics. Here, we collected spectral characteristics of sea surface water of Palau Island and Tonga Island and analyzed the concentration of suspended matters, absorption coefficient, and remote sensing reflectance to understand the seawater characteristics of the coral reef habitats. Based on the results of the suspended matter concentration analysis, we developed and verified an empirical algorithm to derive the concentration from satellite data using remote sensing reflectance of three bands, 555, 625, 660 nm, showed a high determinant coefficient, 0.98. In conclusion, coral reef habitats in tropical regions are characterized by CASE-I water in terms of the marine optics with oligotrophic properties, and require monitoring using continuous collection and analysis of field data.

'Carbon-neutrality Assessment based on Technology Application Scenario (CATAS)' provides an analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction effectiveness when applying carbon-neutrality technology to areas such as energy conversion, transportation, and buildings at certain spatial levels. As for the development scope of the model, GHG emission sources were analyzed for direct GHG emissions, and the boundary between direct and indirect emissions are set according to the spatial scope. The technical scope included nine technologies and forest sinks in the transition sector that occupies the largest portion of GHG emissions in the 2050 carbon neutral scenario. The carbon neutrality rate evaluation methodology consists of four steps: ① analysis of GHG emissions, ② prediction of energy production according to technology introduction, ③ calculation of GHG reduction, and ④ calculation of carbon neutrality rate. After the web-based CATAS-BASIC was developed, an analysis was conducted by applying the new and renewable energy distribution goals presented in the ｢2050 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Promotion Plan｣ of the Seoul Metropolitan Government. As a result of applying solar power, hydrogen fuel cell, and hydrothermal, the introduction of technology reduced 0.43 million tCO₂eq of 1.49 million tCO₂eq, which is the amount of emissions from the conversion sector in Seoul, and the carbon neutrality rate in the conversion sector was analyzed to be 28.94 %.

는쟁이냉이는 전국 각지 산지의 응달이나 물가에서 자생하는 여러해살이풀이다. 3월 경 눈을 뚫고나와 가장 이른 봄나물로 식용하기도 한다. 특유의 매운 맛이 있어 식용작물로 발전가능성이 높은 식물종이다. 따라서 본 연구는 는쟁이냉이 재배기술 정립을 위한 기초자료 수집의 일환으로 수행되었다. 차광에 따른 는쟁이냉이 생육특성을 비교 분석하기 위해 경북 봉화군 소재 국립백두대간수목원 양묘장 노지에 무차광, 40% 차광, 55%차광, 65%차광 처리구를 배치 후, 실험을 진행하였다. 생육특성의 비교를 위해 초장, 초폭, 엽 수, 엽길이, 엽너비, 엽병길이, SPAD 값 총 7가지 항목에 대해 생장기(6월), 휴면기(9월) 두 차례 측정하였다. 측정 결과, 모든 측정값이 차광구가 무차광구보다 높게 나타났다. 또한 무차광구는 6월 조사 이후, 7월 말까지 생장량이 줄어들다가 전량 지상부 고사가 발생하여 는쟁이냉이 재배를 위해서는 차광처리가 필수적으로 필요하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 측정항목 중 초장, 초폭, 엽길이, 엽너비, 엽병길이는 차광율이 높을수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 엽록소함량을 추정할 수 있는 SPAD 값은 40% 차광구가 가장 높았고 55%차광구, 65%차광구에서는 오히려 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 엽 수도 40% 차광구가 가장 높았다. 위 결과를 종합해볼 때, 는쟁이냉이 재배 시 55% 이상의 차광율을 적용하면 잎 자체의 크기 증대를 기대할 수 있으며, 40% 수준의 차광율을 적용하면 잎 수와 혁질의 잎을 생산할 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다. 다만, 본 실험은 는쟁이냉이 재배 생산량에 대한 부분에 집중하였고 상품화를 위해서는 품질에 관한 연구가 추가적으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Energy harvesting through a thermoelectric module normally makes use of the temperature gradient in the system's operational environment. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain the desired output power when the system is subjected to an environment in which a low temperature gradient is generated across the module, because the power generation efficiency of the thermoelectric device is not optimized. The utilization of solar energy, which is a form of renewable energy abundant in nature, has mostly been limited to photovoltaic solar cells and solar thermal energy generation. However, photovoltaic power generation is capable of utilizing only a narrow wavelength band from the sunlight and, thus, the power generation efficiency might be lowered by light scattering. In the case of solar thermal energy generation, the system usually requires large-scale facilities. In this study, a simple and small size thermoelectric power generation system with a solar concentrator was designed to create a large temperature gradient for enhanced performance. A solar tracking system was used to concentrate the solar thermal energy during the experiments and a liquid circulating chiller was installed to maintain a large temperature gradient in order to avoid heat transfer to the bottom of the thermoelectric module. Then, the setup was tested through a series of experiments and the performance of the system was analyzed for the purpose of evaluating its feasibility and validity.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of shading treatments and harvesting methods on the growth of Eleutherococcus senticosus, which was known as the medicine of anticancer, anti-stress, hepatic detoxification activity, immunoactivity, and tonic. Light transmission ratio and air temperature were decreased as $40{\sim}64%$,$1.9{\sim}2^{\circ}C$, respectively, in 30% to 70% shading net treatment compared to non-shading. Fifty percentage shading net treatment was effective for the growth and yield of Eleutherococcus senticosus. During summer Eleutherococcus senticosus was growing under shading net treatment compared to non-shading. Tunnel type was more effective for growth than vertical type in shading method. 30cm length included 2 to 3 nodes cutting from soil surface was the most effective for branching stem length, plant height and yield as harvesting methods.

At present, global warming and depletion of fossil fuels have been one of the big issues which should be solved for sustainable development in the future. CCS (carbon capture and sequestration) technology as the post $CO_2$ reduction technology has been considered as a promising solution for global warming due to increased carbon emission. However, the environmental and ecological effects of CCS have drawn concerns. There are needs for noble post reduction technology. More recently, CCU (carbon capture and utilization) Technology, which emphasizes transforming carbon dioxide into value-added chemicals rather than storing it, has been attracted attentions in terms of preventing global warming and recycling the renewable carbon source. In this paper, various technologies developed for carbon dioxide conversion both in gas and liquid phase have been reviewed. For the thermochemical catalysis in gas phase, the development of the catalytic system which can be performed at mild condition and the separation and purification technology with low energy supply is required. For the photochemical conversion in liquid phase, efficient photosensitizers and photocatalysts should be developed, and the photoelectrochemical systems which can utilize solar and electric energy simultaneously are also in development for more efficient carbon dioxide conversion. The energy needed in CCU must be renewable or unutilized one. CCU will be a key connection technology between renewable energy and bio industry development.
