  • Environmental issues become one of today's central concerns due to draining natural resources and environmental pollution. Architecture is given a great deal of weight on the evoking environmental pollution. In this point of view, polluting factors in architectural planning and construction were predicted in advance and alternative plans were studied, In investigation of alternative plans, both environmental pollution and economical efficiency of various alternatives were considered. A office building was analyzed for energy consumption and construction environmental load by appling LCA. Applying LCA to a office building includes a total amount of materials and energy consumption, environmental impacts and economical efficiency evaluation. In present study, LCA applied to electrical part of a office building and economical efficiency evaluation was considered.

  • About 170 years has been passed since the concept of photovoltaic has been suggested by French physicist Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel. Now the highest efficiency of solar cell has reached up to 44% by III-V multi-junction solar cells with concentrator. Those multi-junction solar cells are suitable as energy source for spaceships. On the other hand, the cell efficiency of solar cell for electric power generation as energy source for Earth has is going to be saturated although commercial solar cell efficiency is around 20%. In the part 1 of this article, the history of III-V multi-junction solar cells which have been adapted for spaceships is explained and in the part 2, new approach for the improvement of cell efficiency is suggested as the energy source for Earth.

  • 검출기의 실제 모양과 제조사에서 제공한 데이터를 기준으로 Penelope simulation을 통해 검출기 모양을 구현하며 측정치에서 얻은 효율을 기준으로 하여 적합한 사층 두께에 적용하였다. 검출기의 simulation 된 전체에너지피크 효율 채널수와 crystal의 Outside contact layer가 전체에너지피크 효율에 미치는 영향을 결정 하기위한 효율 계산은 Penelope Code를 사용하여 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 1.2 ,1.4 mm의 다양한 사층 두께에 대해 수행하였다. 외부 접촉 사층 두께가 5배 증가하였을 때, 59.50 keV의 경우 전체에너지피크 효율이 약 36% 감소하였으며, 1836.01 keV 경우 10% 감소하였다. 또한 10배 증가할수록 59.54 keV의 경우 FEP 효율이 약 20% 감소하였으며, 1836.01 keV 경우 7% 감소하였음을 확인하였다. Penelope simulation된 전체에너지피크 효율 채널은 사층 증가에 따라 기하급수적으로 감소한다. 또한, 총 효과 곡선은 0.3 - 1.4 mm 사층 두께 영역에서 3.5% 미만의 상대적 차이로 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 그러나 비균질 사층이 몬테카를로 모델에서 여전히 매개변수라는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of various factors on energy consumption of apartment buildings. Energy consumption data of the Green Together, integrated building energy management system maintained by the government were used, and end-use and primary energy consumption data of 2012 were analyzed for 181 apartment complexes completed between 2004 and 2011 in Seoul. Energy consumption by use, source and heating type were analyzed. Then, energy consumption trends were analyzed and suggested according to energy efficiency ratings, number of households, areas for exclusive use, number of floors, core types, building types, orientations and completion years.

  • To use nuclear energy sustainably, spent nuclear fuel, classified as high-level radioactive waste and inevitably discharged after electricity generation by nuclear power plants, must be managed safely and isolated from the human environment. In Korea, the land area is limited and the amount of high-level radioactive waste, including spent nuclear fuels to be disposed, is relatively large. Thus, it is particularly necessary to maximize disposal efficiency. In this study, a high-efficiency deep geological repository concept was developed to enhance disposal efficiency. To this end, design strategies and requirements for a high-efficiency deep geological repository system were established, and engineered barrier modules with a disposal canister for pressurized water reactor (PWR)-type and pressurized heavy water reactor type Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU) plants were developed. Thermal and structural stability assessments were conducted for the repository system; it was confirmed that the system was suitable for the established strategies and requirements. In addition, the results of the nuclear safety assessment showed that the radiological safety of the new system met the Korean safety standards for disposal of high-level radioactive waste in terms of radiological dose. To evaluate disposal efficiency in terms of the disposal area, the layout of the developed disposal areas was assessed in terms of thermal limits. The estimated disposal areas were 2.51 km2 and 1.82 km2 (existing repository system: 4.57 km2) and the excavated host rock volumes were 2.7 Mm3 and 2.0 Mm3 (existing repository system: 4.5 Mm3) for thermal limits of 100 ℃ and 130 ℃, respectively. These results indicated that the area and the excavated volume of the new repository system were reduced by 40-60% compared to the existing repository system. In addition, methods to further improve the efficiency were derived for the disposal area for deep geological disposal of spent nuclear fuel. The results of this study are expected to be useful in establishing a national high-level radioactive waste management policy, and for the design of a commercial deep geological repository system for spent nuclear fuels.

  • 에너지사용은 우리생활과 밀접한 관계성을 유지하고 있다. 사계절이 뚜렷한 우리나라로서는 건물분야에 냉,난방이 필수품처럼 여겨지는 세대에 살고있어 에너지 사용과 유지에 새로운 트렌드를 요구하고 있다. 이에따라 정부는 신축 및 기존건축물의 에너지효율 개선을 위해서 단열기준을 지속적으로 강화하여 에너지절감을 꾀하고 있다. 공동주택의 에너지효율 분석중 가장 중요한 요소가 열관류율이며 그값은 외피면적비에 대한 창면적비에 따라 난방에너지 요구량이 큰차이를 보여주고 있다. 그러므로 지속적인 효율개선 정책과 외피면적에 대한 창면적비의 규제가 필요한 시점이라 생각한다.

  • 최근 물류센터는 대형화 첨단화에 따른 다양한 설비 및 장비의 도입으로 전기에너지 소비가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 물류센터의 전기에너지 사용 현황 및 소비 특성을 정량적으로 분석하고, 효율을 평가하기 위한 전기에너지 표준소비량을 추정하는 모형을 구축하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 제시된 모형은 물류센터의 온도요인이 전기에너지 소비에 큰 영향을 미치는 특성을 효과적으로 반영하기 위하여 열역학 이론을 도입하였다. 모형은 물류센터 벽면의 열전도, 출입문 열대류 및 취급물품의 열 손실로 구성된 냉동기 운용에너지 부문과 물류활동을 위한 기계설비의 전력소모 부문으로 구성된다. 모형은 또한 물류센터 운영자가 에너지 소비 효율을 평가하고 개선전략을 수립하는 것을 지원할 수 있도록 다양한 설명변수들을 포함한다. 실제 물류센터의 에너지 소비량을 기반으로 본 연구에서 개발된 모형의 적용성이 평가된다.

  • The fuel cell market is expected to grow rapidly. Therefore, it is necessary to scale up fuel cells for buildings, power generation, and ships. A multi-stack system can be an effective way to expand the capacity of a fuel cell. Multi-stack fuel cell systems are better than single-stack systems in terms of efficiency, reliability, durability and maintenance. In this research, we developed a residential fuel cell stack and system model that generates electricity using the fuel cell-photovoltaic hybrid system. The efficiency and hydrogen consumption of the fuel cell system were calculated according to the three proposed power distribution methods (equivalent, Daisy-chain, and optimal method). As a result, the optimal power distribution method increases the efficiency of the fuel cell system and reduces hydrogen consumption. The more frequently the multi-stack fuel cell system is exposed to lower power levels, the greater the effectiveness of the optimal power distribution method.
