Along with the growing interest in renewable energy development, Korea's west coast is one of the favorable regions for tidal power. Tidal power using tidal barrages that work like hydroelectric dams is a representative method of tidal power through long-term operation, but the promotion of tidal power projects is being delayed or stopped due to impacts on ecological changes, reproduction, water column processes and hydrology. In order to reduce the high construction cost and environmental cost problems caused by tidal power using tidal barrages, in this study, field experiments were conducted to develop and verify the performance of tidal power generation devices applicable to sea areas where dykes are already installed. As a result of conducting five cases of experiments using two water tanks, pipe lines, open channels, and water turbine and generator, the possibility of developing a power generation system capable of generating more than 10 kW output and more than 60% efficiency were confirmed. The results of this study can be used for small-scale tidal power by utilizing the existing dykes of the west coast.

국내 대형 기력발전단지에서 냉각수로 사용되고 방류되는 해수는 약 150cms로 (100Mwe 당 약 5cms) 약 3,000kW 이상의 수력에너지를 보유하고 있으나, 현재 활용되지 못하고 그대로 해양으로 방류되고 있다. 발전소 방수로는 흐름조건이 비교적 균일하고, 파랑 내습이 없으며 부유사 해조류, 부유물 충돌 등의 문제가 발생하지 않아 자연 해양조건보다 조류력 발전에 매우 유리하나 수심이 낮고, 순환수 계통에의 영향으로 다수의 수차를 설치하기는 어려운 조건을 지니고 있다. 따라서, 인공수로의 균일하고 양호한 흐름조건에 적합한 보다 경제적인 수차를 개발하고, 발전량을 증대하기 위한 수차 배치 기술, 수차 및 발전기 지지구조물의 설계 기술, 계통 연결기술 등을 개발할 필요가 있으며, 이를 위하여 시험용 조류식 발전시스템을 제작하여 수차의 성능 및 전체 발전시스템의 성능을 평가하여 발생되는 문제점을 해결하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 시험용 조류식 발전시스템을 하동화력발전소 방수로에 적용하기 위하여 현장 특성 분석, 형식 선정, 발전량 산정 등의 시스템 설계를 수행하였다.

Due to the high demand on energy resources accompanied by continuing industrialization and urbanization, the world marine transportation of crude and product oils is being gradually increased. In Korea, we are exposed to the large-scale marine oil spill accidents because a very large oil tanker of 300,000 tonnage must enter Korean Ports every day to meet the domestic demand on oils. Although we are exerting our strength to reduce the probability of marine oil pollution accidents, a unrestorable oil spill is to occur owing to human errors, severe weather conditions, or combined causes. Thus, area contingency plan equipped with appropriate management system for response and restoration for the worst case discharge scenario must be entirely prepared to protect mine environments and coastal resources. In particular, we are focusing on the Environmental Sensitivity Index Map(ESI Map) to reduce the environmental consequences of both spills and clean-up efforts by specifying protection Priorities in advance and identifying in-situ response strategies. In this paper, Korean ESI Map is introduced with brief definition of sensitivity to oiling and main features of the software developed hitherto.

2차대전후 일본의 에너지 소비는 경이적인 것으로 $1960{\~}1973$년까지의 14년간에 총수요는 약 4배에 달하였고 년율로는 약 $12\%$가 된다. 이것은 같은 기간의 세계 전체의 신장율 년평균 $5\%$에 비하여 쉽게 이해할 수 없을 정도이다. 1973년부터 1975년에 걸쳐 에너지다소비형산업의 활동이 극히 저미했기 때문에 다소 감축은 되었으나 절대량이 석유환산으로 3억 6천 7백만톤(1975년)으로서 전세계 수요의 약 $10\%$를 소비하는 세계 제 3위의 에너지소비국이다. 수급면의 구성비를 볼 때 에너지밸런스에서 몇가지의 특징이 있다. 첫째, 석유에너지가 점하는비율이 현저하게 높다는 것이다. 1975년을 기준으로 볼 때 일본이 $73\%$, 미국($43\%$), 영국($47\%$), 서독($49\%$)로 되어 있다. 둘째는 에너지의 수입비율이 높다는 것이다. 석유의 수입과 현재 이용되고 있는 석탄의 4분의 3이상을 점하는 철강용${\cdot}$원료탄도 대부분은 값싸고 품질이 좋은 해외탄이기 때문이다. 일본은 실제로 에너지수요의 $88\%$를 수입에 의존하고 있다. 셋째로는 산업부문의 소비율이 현저하게 높다는 것이다. 일본($57\%$)에 비하여 미국($32\%$), 서독($37\%$), 영국($32\%$)은 낮다. 그러면 장차 이 에너지밸런스는 어떻게 되어갈 것인가. 석유공급의 감소, 원자력이용계획의 지연이 예측되는 가운데에서 일본 에너지의 안정공급을 위해서는 태양, 지열, 해양 등의 풍부하고도 깨끗한 국내자원의 활용을 도모함과 동시에 석탄가스화${\cdot}$액화, 고속증식로의 개발 등 재래 자원보다 고도의 이용을 목적으로 강력하게 기술개발을 진행시켜 나가는 길밖에 없다고 하겠다.

Recently, development of maritime autonomoust surface ships and eco-friendly ships, production and evaluation research considering various marine environments is needed in the field of optimal routes as the demand for accurate and detailed real-time marine environment prediction information expands. An algorithm that can calculate the optimal route while reducing the risk of the marine environment and uncertainty in energy consumption in smart ships was developed in 2 stages. In the first stage, a profile was created by combining marine environmental information with ship location and status information within the Automatic Ship Identification System(AIS). In the second stage, a model was developed that could define the marine environment energy map using the configured profile results, A regression equation was generated by applying Random Forest among machine learning techniques to reflect about 600,000 data. The Random Forest coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.89, showing very high reliability. The Dijikstra shortest path algorithm was applied to the marine environment prediction at June 1 to 3, 2021, and to calculate the optimal safety route and express it on the map. The route calculated by the random forest regression model was streamlined, and the route was derived considering the state of the marine environment prediction information. The concept of route calculation based on real-time marine environment prediction information in this study is expected to be able to calculate a realistic and safe route that reflects the movement tendency of ships, and to be expanded to a range of economic, safety, and eco-friendliness evaluation models in the future.

In this study, a smoothing method was applied to improve the accuracy of peak wave period estimation using the water surface elevation observed from the Oceanographic and Meteorological Observation Tower located on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula. Validation of the application of the smoothing method was per- formed using variance of the surface elevation and total amount wave energy, and then the effect on the application of smoothing was analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the correlation coefficient between variance of the surface elevation and total amount wave energy was 0.9994, confirming that there was no problem in applying the method. Thereafter, as a result of reviewing the effect of smoothing, it was found to be reduced by about 4 times compared to the confidence interval of the existing estimated spectrum, confirming that the accuracy of the estimated peak wave period was improved. It was found that there was a statistically significant difference in proba- bility density between 4 and 6 seconds due to the smoothing application. In addition, for optimal smoothing, the appropriate number of smoothings according to the significant wave height range was calculated using a statistical technique, and the number of smoothings was found to increase due to the unstable spectral shape as the significant wave height decreased.

A new energy conversion system which converts wind energy directly to heat instead of transforming it to electric power beforehand is suggested in this study. The new energy conversion system is composed of two big parts divided by their functions. One of them is a wind turbine part, and another is the heat energy conversion part. The object of this study is confined only to the heat energy conversion part, so the wind turbine is replaced with an electric motor for the convenience of experiment. In the experimental process, pressure difference at the hydraulic pump, revolution speed of the hydraulic pump, temperature at a few points on the oil circuit and the water circuit are measured at time intervals of five minutes. And integral values of input energy to the system and stored energy in the system is investigated.
