Photovoltaic-thermal(PVT) collectors are a combination of photovoltaic modules with solar thermal collectors, forming one device that receives solar radiation and produces electricity and heat simultaneously. The PVT collectors can produce more energy per unit surface area than side by side PV modules and solar thermal collectors. There are two types of water type PVT collectors, depending on the existence of glass cover over PV module; glass-covered(glazed) PVT module, which produces relatively more thermal energy but has lower electrical yield, and uncovered(unglazed) PVT module, which has relatively lower thermal energy with somewhat higher electrical performance. In this paper, the experimental performance of two types of the water-based PVT combined collectors, glazed and unglazed, was analyzed. The electrical and thermal performances of the PVT combined collectors were measured in outdoor conditions, and the results were compared.

Recently, energy generation using algae technology is being promising due to the emerging issues on energy insufficiency and environmental contamination, although the solution has not been resolved in aspect of technological and economical efficiencies since it was originally proposed in the early 1980s by many scholars. The energy production technology using algae materials has great values as not only a solution for new energy generation but also an eco-friendly sustainable building equipment system. In addition, cultivation tank for algae using water sources seems to play a role as a decreasing system for thermal transmittance on building components. This study aims at investigating the adaptability towards the future sustainable building with algae technology and testifying the energy efficiency of the algae skins by operating a couple of simulation tools to measure building performances for the proposed prototype of the façade system.

Purpose: Recently, renewable energy system has been widely used to reduce the energy consumption and CO2 emission of building. A photovoltaic/thermal(PVT) system is a kind of efficient energy uses, which is combined with photovoltaic module and solar thermal collector. PVT system removes heat from PV module by through thermal fluid to raise the performance efficiency of the PV system. However, though PVT system has the merit of the improved efficiency in theoretical approach, there have been few performance analysis for PVT system using the dynamic energy simulation. In this study, in order to establish the optimum design method of this system, simulation was conducted by using individual system modules. Method: For the dynamic simulation, TRNSYS17 was used and local weather data was utilized. Furthermore, the system performance in various installation condition was calculated by case studies. Result: As a result, the amount of electric generation and heat production in each case was found by the simulation. The gap of system performance was also evident according to the installation condition.

For the past seven years, the increase in the energy consumption of universities in Korea has been 3.7 times higher than the overall increase in the energy consumption across Korea (22.5%). This is an example that shows that universities have been a massive source of greenhouse gases. Such an increase has been attributed to the new and expanded construction of architectural structures on campus. Many people argue that the increasing number of buildings may cause waste of energy and loss of efficiency. Therefore, this study was conducted as a preliminary study to derive energy efficiency measures for new university buildings. The two aspects of energy-saving as required by the eco-friendly structure certification standards have been applied to analyze the use of new/renewable energy and the energy consumption of new university buildings that have applied light density and light engineering methods. Based on these results, the major sources of energy of existing buildings and new university buildings were compared to comparatively discuss how effectively they improve energy performance.

Over-expression of a copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/ZnSOD) resulted in substantially increased tolerance to cadmium exposure in Arabidopsis thaliana. Lower lipid peroxidation and $H_2O_2$ accumulation and the higher activities of $H_2O_2$ scavenging enzymes, including catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) in transformants (CuZnSOD-tr) compared to untransformed controls (wt) indicated that oxidative stress was the key factor in cadmium tolerance. Although progressive reductions in the dark-adapted photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) and quantum efficiency yield were observed with increasing cadmium levels, the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were less marked in CuZnSOD-tr than in wi. These observations indicate that oxidative stress in the photosynthetic apparatus is a principal cause of Cd-induced phytotoxicity, and that Cu/ZnSOD plays a critical role in protection against Cd-induced oxidative stress.

A method for preparing "reagent" for radioactive methyliodide vapors production using an isotopic exchange reaction has been developed. Based on the obtained data of the isotopic exchange efficiency and hydraulic resistance, white fused alumina (700-840 ㎛) was selected as the carrying agent material for "reagent" production. The radioiodine isotopic exchange dependences on such parameters as temperature, gas flow velocity, and the methyliodide concentration in it were determined. Optimal conditions have been selected to achieve 85% of the isotopic exchange rate in 1 h of the experiment. The obtained data allowed to develop an approach to the test of iodine filters for nuclear power plants and to determine their efficiency.

중국은 경제규모가 세계 2위를 차지하면서 가장 많은 탄소배출량을 기록하고 있어 탄소배출량을 감축하는 것은 불가피한 당면과제이다. 탄소배출량 감축의 위한 정책 방안 중 하나는 탄소배출 효율성을 증진시키는 것이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 중국의 30개 지역을 대상으로 지역별 탄소배출단위당 GDP의 비율을 추정한 후 30개성의 탄소배출 효율성을 추정하고 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다. 효율성 분석 결과를 보면 중국의 지역별 탄소배출 효율성 차이가 크게 나타났고 이 중에서 하이난성, 베이징시, 텐진시 등의 탄소배출 효율성은 상대적으로 높게 추정되었다. 또 탄소배출 효율성에 미치는 영향 요인을 분석한 결과를 보면 제3차 산업의 비중이 클수록 탄소배출 효율성이 개선되고, 중공업의 비중이 클수록, 석탄소비 비중이 클수록 그리고 수출입 비중이 클수록 탄소배출 효율성을 악화되는 것으로 추정되었다.

In general, there are two types of PVT module depending on the existence of the glass in front of PV module: glazed and unglazed. On the other hand, the water-type PVT modules can be classified into two types, according to absorber type: the sheet-and-tube absorber PVT module and the fully wetted absorber PVT module. The aim of this study is to analyze the electrical and thermal performance of a water-type PVT module with fully wetted absorber. For this study, a prototype of unglazed PVT module with fully wetted absorber was designed and built, and both the thermal and electrical performances of the prototype module were measured in outdoor conditions. A conventional mono-crystalline Si PV module was tested alongside the PVT module for their electrical performance comparison. The results showed that the thermal efficiency of the PVT module was average 51% and its electrical efficiency was average 14.3% in mean fluid temperature $10-40^{\circ}C$, whereas the electrical efficiency of the conventional PV module was average 12.6%. It is found that the electrical efficiency of the PVT module was improved by approximately 14% compared to that of the PV module. The temperature of PVT module becomes lower due to the cooling effect by the fluid of the absorber. The results proved that the electrical efficiency was higher when the mean fluid temperature was lower.

본 연구는 수생태계의 건전성 활용방안에 대한 연구를 마을방죽과 수체계의 원리에서 그 해답을 찾고자 하였으며, 연구대상지 10개의 마을방죽을 중심으로 분석하였다. 마을방죽의 수체계를 구성하는 우물, 공동샘, 마을수로 등 물 흐름을 이루고 있는 구성요소들의 구조와 특성에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 마을방죽의 사회적 생태적 역할 및 도시화로 인해 훼손되거나 소멸된 수생태계 건전성 확보와 생태적 유역관리를 위한 하나의 도구적 방안으로서의 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 마을방죽은 마을에서 발생하는 배출수와 방죽보다 높은 수위의 농경지에서 흘러드는 농수로를 통해 물을 방죽에 모아서 농업용수로 재활용하고, 그 이상의 물은 논도랑을 통해 하천으로 흘려보내는 구조로서, 각 마을에서 발생하는 유출수를 효율적으로 관리하는 생태적 유역관리를 일상에서 실천하고 있었던 것이라고 볼 수 있다. 단순한 물 흐름의 일시적 저류시설이 아니라, 이를 다시 재사용하고 걸러서 하천으로 보내는 일종의 친환경수처리 시스템인 것이다. 2. 전통마을 5개소와 근대화 이후 농촌마을 5개소를 중심으로 사례대상지 10개의 마을방죽을 선정하여 마을의 수 체계와 방죽의 구조, 물 흐름을 분석하여 방죽의 유형을 분류하였다. 마을방죽의 유형은 소택습지형, 자연유하의 물흐름 구조인 수고답저형, 인위적 수리시설이 필요한 수저답고형 등 3가지 유형으로 분류되었다. 사례연구 대상지 중 전통마을 5개소는 모두 소택습지형으로 나타났으며, 근대화 이후 농촌마을 중 계지마을, 산제리마을, 마암마을, 양촌마을은 수고답저형으로, 상천리마을은 수저답고형으로 분류되었다. 3. 소택형 방죽과 수고답저형 방죽, 수저답고형 방죽으로 분류된 사례대상지의 수질분석을 통해 마을방죽의 수질정화 기능을 확인하였다. 마을하수도 유출수와 생활하수의 영향을 받는 원터마을과 계지마을에서는 암모니아성질소($NH_3-N$)와 총인(T-P)의 효율이 56~95%로 높은 것을 볼 수 있으며, 축사와 농경지의 영향이 강한 상천리와 산제리 마을에서는 부유물질(SS)이 70~85%, 총질소(T-N)와 총인(T-P)이 5.3~65%의 효율로 나타났다. 4. 오염원의 침전과 여과, 식물에 의한 탈질작용을 통해 마을에서 유출되는 생활하수, 마을하수도 배출수, 우수유출수 및 비점오염원들이 하천에 유입되기 전에 다시 한번 걸러주게 되는 수질정화 시스템을 마을방죽의 구조에서 확인할 수 있다. 이러한 구조를 통해 마을방죽은 생태적 유역관리를 위한 기초적 시설로서 활용되어져야 한다. 환경 필터층의 역할을 하는 마을방죽의 수처리 시스템은 단위유역, 집수유역 중심의 생태적 유역관리를 위한 친환경 시설로서 연구되어지고 활용되어야 한다.
