It seems possible, by use of vegetable oils, to solve the pollution problem caused by the exhaust gas from diesel-engine vehicles. Recently vegetable oils has received considerable attention as an alternative and clean energy source to the foreseeable depletion of world oil supplies. The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the characteristics of exhaust emissions of a small diesel engine using light oil, rice-bran oil, heated rice-bran oil, rice-bran oil treated with ultrasonic energy. SO$_2$ emission from the pure and the treated rice-bran oils was not detected at speeds hgher than 1,800 rpm while that from the light oil was detected at all the speeds at 4/4 load. NOx emission form these vegetable oils was generally higher compared to that from the light oil for most of the test conditions. tendency opposite to that of NOx emission. The data obtained in this experiment may be applicable for the desist of small diesel engine using the alternative fuels.

The release of polluting gases such as NO/sub x/ of SO/sub x/ to the atmosphere from ships is causing increasing concern. To reduce destruction to the marine environment, the value of the utilization of photovoltaic energy is highly appreciated since photovoltaic energy is and alternate clean energy source to fossil fuels. The use of a photovoltaic generating system to supplement diesel engine driven electric power system on ships has been studied. The design of the photovoltaic generating system based on a photovoltaic array is presented in this paper. The amount of NO/sub x/ and SO/sub x/ emission is found to be significantly reduced for a small vessel operated within a harbour after a photovoltaic generating system is installed to supplement the diesel engine generator system.

With the increased demand of clean energy and global warming measures, the renewable energy development has been increased recently. The TCP (Tidal Current Power) is one of the ocean renewable energy sources. Having the high tidal energy source in Korea, there are many potential TCP sites with strong current speed. The rotor, which initially converts the energy, is a very important component because it affects the efficiency of the entire system. The rotor performance is determined by various design parameters including number of blades, shape, sectional size, diameters and etc. However, the interactions between devices also contribute significantly to the energy production. The rotor performance considering the interaction needs to be investigated to predict the exact power in the farm. This paper introduces the optimum design of TCP turbine and the performance of devices considering the interference between rotors.

Rapid population growth with high living standards and high electronics use for personal comfort has raised the electricity demand exponentially. To fulfill this elevated demand, conventional energy sources are shifting towards low production cost and long term usable alternative energy sources. Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) are becoming popular as stand-alone power systems for providing electricity in remote areas due to advancement in renewable energy technologies and subsequent rise in prices of petroleum products. Wind and solar power are considered feasible replacement to fossil fuels as the prediction of the fuel shortage in the near future, forced all operators involved in energy production to explore this new and clean source of power. Presented paper proposes fuzzy logic based Energy Management System (EMS) for Wind Turbine (WT), Photo Voltaic (PV) and Diesel Generator (DG) hybrid micro-grid configuration. Battery backup system is introduced for worst environmental conditions or high load demands. Dump load along with dump load controller is implemented for over voltage and over speed protection. Fuzzy logic based supervisory control system performs the power flow control between different scenarios such as battery charging, battery backup, dump load activation and DG backup in most intellectual way.

Due to continuous climate change, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are gradually accumulating, and various extreme weather events occurring all over the world are a serious threat to human sustainability. Countries around the world are making efforts to convert energy sources from traditional fossil fuels to renewable energy. Hydrogen energy is a clean energy source that exists infinitely on Earth, and can be used in most areas that require energy, such as power generation, transportation, commerce, and household sectors. A fuel cell, a device that produces electric and thermal energy by using hydrogen energy, is a key field to respond to climate change, and major countries around the world are spurring the development of core fuel cell technology. In this paper, research trends in China, the United States, Germany, Japan, and Korea, which have the highest number of papers related to fuel cells, are analyzed through keyword network analysis.

본 연구에서는 Nannochloropsis oceanica로부터 바이오디젤 원료유로 활용하기 위한 미세조류 오일을 추출하였다. 용매추출법을 이용하여 오일을 추출하였으며, 미세조류의 건식 및 습식 조건에서 오일 추출률(yield) 및 오일 추출 효율(efficiency)을 비교하였다. N. oceanica는 지방산 함량이 317.8 mg/g cell으로 건조중량 대비 30% 이상의 높은 오일함량을 나타내었으며, 미세조류의 건식 조건에서 습식 조건보다 높은 오일 추출률을 나타내었다. 사용된 용매에 대해서 헥산 < 헥산-메탄올 < 클로로포름-메탄올 순으로 오일 추출률이 증가하였다. 그러나 추출된 오일의 지방산 함량을 분석한 결과, 오일 추출률이 증가할수록 지방산 함량은 감소하여 엽록소와 같은 불순물을 포함하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 오일 추출률과 지방산 함량을 고려한 오일 추출 효율은 건식 조건에서 헥산-메탄올 이용 추출에서 82.6%의 가장 높은 효율을 나타내었고, 습식 조건에서는 클로로포름-메탄올 이용 추출에서 88.0%로 가장 높은 효율을 나타내었다. 따라서 경제적으로 미세조류의 건조가 가능한 경우에는 헥산-메탄올을 사용하고, 건조 비용이 높은 경우에는 습식 조건에서 클로로포름-메탄올을 사용한 용매추출법이 바람직하다.

Hydrogen serves as a clean energy source with potential applications across various sectors including electricity, transportation, and industry. In terms of policy and economic support, governmental policy backing and economic incentives are poised to accelerate the commercialization and expansion of hydrogen energy technologies. Hydrogen energy is set to become a cornerstone for a sustainable future energy system. Additionally, when constructing hydrogen production plants, economic aspects must be considered. The essence of hydrogen production plants lies in the electrolysis of water, a process that separates water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrical energy. The initial capital expenditure (CAPEX) for hydrogen production plants can vary depending on the electrolysis technology employed. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of hydrogen production technologies as well as to propose a method for predicting the CAPEX of hydrogen production plants.

본 논문에서는 LNG 냉열 에너지를 활용한 지역 냉방 시스템 가능성에 대해 고찰하고자 한다. 액상의 LNG는 기상의 가스로 변환하는 과정에서 많은 냉열 에너지를 발생한다. 최근에 빙축열을 이용한 건물의 냉방 시스템 구축과 심층수를 이용한 지역 냉방 시스템이 도심지의 기존 사무실 건물이나 대규모 건물의 냉방장치로 도입되고 있는 상황이다. LNG의 냉열 에너지는 기존의 냉매에 의존한 개별 냉방 시스템을 대체하는 새로운 냉열 에너지 공정으로 쾌적한 공간을 제공하는 천연의 대규모 냉각매체로 재사용될 수 있다. 버려지는 냉열 에너지는 낮은 코스트로 운영될 수 있는 중요한 청정 에너지원이기 때문에 냉방 시스템으로 개발되면, 기존의 에어콘 시스템에 견주어 볼 때 공기중에 유해한 오염원의 발생과 환경적으로 유해한 냉매 방출을 대폭적으로 줄일 수 있는 우수한 냉방 시스템이 될 것이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 냉열 에너지를 활용한 지역 냉방 시스템에 대한 환경 친화적 기본적 설계 개념, 여러 가지 냉방 시스템 성능에 대한 유익한 기반적 정보를 제공하고자 한다.

This paper presents the energy harvesting technique which is carried out by vibration system with a piezoelectric element. In this study, low frequency characteristics of the piezoelectric element bonded to the aluminum cantilever were experimentally investigated. The piezoelectric element of size of $45L{\times}11W{\times}0.6H$ and piezoelectric constant($d_{31}$ ) of $-180{\times}10^{-12}C/N$ was used. The material of cantilever is an aluminum and two kinds of cantilever of which dimensions are (150, 190)$[mm]{\times}13[mm]{\times}1.5[mm]$ were experimented, respectively. The cantilever was fixed on the magnetic type vibrator and the vibrator was operated by power input with a sine wave. The characteristics of requency and mass variation of cantilever end part such as 0, 2.22, 4.34, 5.87, 8.66, 11.01 [g] were investigated. Finally, this paper suggests a method of generating electrical energy with a piezoelectric element using wind, an energy source that is easily applied and from which we can obtain "clean" energy.
