There has been increasing global interest in the environmental pollution problems produced by fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In order to tackle these issues, new renewable energy such as solar, wind, bio gas, fuel cell and pressure retarded osmosis(PRO) have been developed extensively. Among these energy sources, PRO is one of the salinity gradient power generation methods. In PRO, energy is obtained by the osmotic pressure generated from the concentration difference between high and low concentration solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane. The development for high power density PRO membranes is imperative with the purpose of commercialization. This study investigates development of thin film composite PRO membrane and spiral wound module for high power density. Also, the influence of membrane backing layer on power density was identified, and the characteristic factors of PRO membranes was determined. Different backing layers were used to improve power density. As expected, the PRO membrane with more porous backing layer showed higher power density.

Sweetpotato is one of the important starch crops, current more considered as an industrial crop rather than food because it has higher starch content (over 80% of biomass), it is used for bio resources for industrial area. In this study, we generated S598A (a mutant gene of oat phytochrome A) sweetpotato plant using Agrobacterium-transformation method. Morphological characteristics of S598A plant were compared with the wild type sweetpotato, S598A had darker green leaves, increased chlorophyll content higher than to two-fold, delayed leaf senescence, shorter plant height (60% shorter than that of the wild type), more number of leaves and petioles about 1.8-fold, shorter petiole length (30% shorter), 1.2-fold more branches and 1.6-fold thicker stem diameters. From this study, S598A plants with such phenotypic characteristics might be able to use the solar energy efficiently, to have increased tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses and finally to increase productivity (not only starch yield but also root biomass yield). S598A sweetpotato lines are under field trials.

This study was carried out to estimate the warmed water irrigation and the warmed soil efficiency on protected cultivation of cucumber in winter season. The water of 28$^{\circ}C$ was continuously supplied for soil warming and that is $25^{\circ}C$ for warmed water irrigation. Cucumber growth was analyzed when tile soil kept up the optimum temperature in the root zone. The cucumber growth are compared with the warmed soil plots. isolated warmed soil plots and non-warmed soil plots. The cucumber growth in warmed soil plots and isolated warmed soil plots were 20~50% higher than non-warmed soil plots compare to that by the warmed irrigation. In the non-warmed soil plots, the stem diameter and the number of leaves in the warmed water irrigation plots are 10% higher than those in the normal water irrigation plots. The yields in isolated warmed soil plots were 37~38% higher than non-warmed soil plots and those in warmed soil plots were 85~96% higher than non-warmed soil plots. The fruit length, weight and diameter in warmed soil plots were 15% higher than those in the non-warmed plots.

The importance of energy saving technology for managing greenhouse was recently highlighted. For practical use of energy in greenhouse, it is necessary to simulate energy flow precisely and estimate heating/cooling loads of greenhouse. So the main purpose of this study was to develope and to validate greenhouse energy model and to estimate annual/maximum energy loads using Building Energy Simulation (BES). Field experiments were carried out in a multi-span plastic-film greenhouse in Jeju Island ($33.2^{\circ}N$, $126.3^{\circ}E$) for 2 months. To develop energy model of the greenhouse, a set of sensors was used to measure the greenhouse microclimate such as air temperature, humidity, leaf temperature, solar radiation, carbon dioxide concentration and so on. Moreover, characteristic length of plant leaf, leaf area index and diffuse non-interceptance were utilized to calculate sensible and latent heat exchange of plant. The internal temperature of greenhouse was compared to validate the greenhouse energy model. Developed model provided a good estimation for the internal temperature throughout the experiments period (coefficients of determination > 0.85, index of agreement > 0.92). After the model validation, we used last 10 years weather data to calculate energy loads of greenhouse according to growth stage of greenhouse crop. The tendency of heating/cooling loads change was depends on external weather condition and optimal temperature for growing crops at each stage. In addition, maximum heating/cooling loads of reference greenhouse were estimated to 644,014 and $756,456kJ{\cdot}hr^{-1}$, respectively.

본 연구에서는 온실 운영에 필요한 전력량을 확보함으로서 온실경영비 절감을 목적으로 수평면 일사량, 즉 최대 일사량이 각각 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 및 $900W{\cdot}m^{-2}$ 정도인 날을 기준으로 최대 발전량과 시간의 경과에 따른 태양광발전시스템의 성능을 시험적으로 검토하였다. 태양광발전시스템의 순간 발생전력은 약 970 W정도로서 본 시험에 이용한 태양광발전시스템의 순간 효율은 97% 정도인 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 시스템의 경우, 수평면 일사량이 최소한 $200W{\cdot}m^{-2}$ 이상이 되어야 전력이 발생되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 수평면 일사량이 증가하면 최대 발생전력도 증가하였고, 이 때 최대효율은 각각 약 30, 78, 86 및 90% 정도였다. 그러나 일사량이 약 $800W{\cdot}m^{-2}$정도가 되면 최대 발생전력은 오히려 $700W{\cdot}m^{-2}$ 보다 감소하는 경향이 있었다. 최대전력이 발생되는 효율도 순간 발생전력 97%정도보다 감소하였다. 그리고 일별 수평면 총일사량이 각각 3.24, 8.10, 10.90, 12.70, 14.33, 19.53 및 $21.48MJ{\cdot}m^{-2}$정도 일 때, 총 발생전력량은 각각 0.03, 0.40, 3.60, 4.37, 4.71, 4.70 및 4.91 kWh정도로서 어느 일사량을 경계로 총 발생전력량은 조금 감소하거나 증가하였다. 어레이 배면온도가 전면온도보다 높게 나타나는 경향이 있지만, 일사량이 증가하면 어레이 배면온도도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 시스템의 경우, 아직까지 모듈의 성능저하는 없는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 주간동안 온실 내에서 발생되는 잉여 태양에너지의 적정 축열 시스템 설계에 필요한 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 확보한 표준기상년 데이터를 이용하여 설정온도별로 잉여 태양에너지를 분석하였다. 주야간 설정온도를 단계별로 증가($15{\sim}19^{\circ}C$)시킨 경우, 온실형태와 지역별로 잉여 태양에너지는 0.2~6.9%정도 증가하여 그 증가폭은 미미하지만 다소 완만히 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 소요 난방에너지는 29.7~50.0%정도 증가하여 잉여 태양에너지의 증가율 보다 훨씬 큰 폭으로 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 환기 설정온도를 단계별로 증가 (저속 $25{\sim}29^{\circ}C$, 고속 $27{\sim}31^{\circ}C$)시킨 경우, 자동화 온실은 지역별로 잉여 태양에너지는 9.9~35.6%정도로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 단동형 온실은 지역별로 5.1~13.4%정도로 감소하는 것으로 나타나 자동화 온실에 비해 감소의 폭이 상대적으로 작았다. 또한 소요 난방에너지는 온실형태 및 지역별로 다소 증가하거나 감소하는 경우도 있었지만, 그 영향은 아주 미미한 것으로 나타났다.

In green plants, energy generation is accomplished through light-harvesting photosystem, which utilize abundant visible light and multi-stepwise redox reaction to oxidize water and reduce NADP+, transferring electrons efficiently with active cofactors1. Inspired by natural photosynthesis, artificial solar water-splitting devices are being designed variously. However, the several approaches involving immobilization2, conjugation3, and surface modification4 still have limitations. We have made artificial photosynthesis templates by self-assembling tyrosine-based peptide to mimick photosystem II. Porphyrin sensitizer absorbing blue light strongly was conjugated with the templates and they were hybridized with cobalt oxide through the reduction of cobalt ions in an aqueous solution. The formation of hybrid templates was characterized using TEM, and their water oxidation performance was measured by fluorescence oxygen probe. Our results suggest that the bio-templated assembly of functional compounds has a great potential for artificial photosynthesis.

Copper composite materials have attracted wide attention for energy applications. Especially $CuInS_2$ has a desirable direct band gap of 1.5 eV, which is well matched with the solar spectrum. $CuInS_2$ nanoparticles could make it possible to develop color-tunable $CuInS_2$ nanoparticle emitter in the near-infrared region (NIR) for energy application and bio imaging sensors. In this paper, $CuInS_2$ nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by thermo-decomposition methods. Surface modification of $CuInS_2$ nanoparticles were carried out with various semiconductor materials (CdS, ZnS) for enhanced optical properties. Surface modification and silica coating of hydrophobic nanoparticles could be dispersed in polar solvent for potential applications. Their optical properties were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The structures of silica coated $CuInS_2$ were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
