Recently, environmental pollution by livestock excretion is gathering strength as livestock industry is advanced on a large scale. Bio-gas is generated more than about 70 precent if remove impurities in the course of extracting bio-gas to use livestock excretion. In this paper, we developed a device that can use it in heating after extracting bio-gas from livestock excretion collected in livestock farmhouse and can supply electricity by using generator developed in itself. Also, because this system is epoch-making no discharge system to solve smear of existing method, it is expected that we have effects to prevent environmental pollution and get alternation energy and burden on the institution to treat livestock excretion of a pig breeder is solved, if use it.

This study has looked into ways to cut the power supply by predicting electrical fire that may occur in low-voltage cable, which is most frequently used in industrial settings and households. In addition, we have designed a system that cuts off electricity to prevent the fire upon occurrence of events that may cause electrical fire, including short circuit, tracking and contact failure. A lot of previous researches have designed arc suppressors built in analog circuit, which left much to be desired such as difficulty in remote control and inability to identify the location of arc suppressor when it is activated. To address these issues, the study seeks to develop an arc suppressor using micom and to verify its performance through simulations designed to detect arc faults.

The failures in the power plant can lead to a dangerous situation according to the demand and supply of the electric power. The failure times of the domestic plant happens very often, and it has been reported as a significant loss by the power sales. Therefore, the power plant is demanded to maintain very well in order to produce a high quality of power. The rate of failures by the electricity facility is filled with 40[%] among the trouble in the failures of the power plant. The failures of power plant can cause serious accidents, magnificent losses, and chaos in our society. So, we require a significant plan to reduce such a serious problem. In this paper, I analysis the failure case of power converter in power plant, and I offer the better solution to be able to prevent the failures from power plant.

Recently, the energy situation in Korea has been significantly changed. Rapid increase in electricity demand, tremendous financial need for new power plant construction, and environmental problem have led to search for more efficient energy production and energy conservation technologies. Due to the potential energy and cost savings to both electric utilities and industries, cogeneration will play an important role in the electric power and thermal energy supply in the future. In this study, we present the COGENMASTER computer model for optimal system configuration and economic analysis of cogeneration system. We also present several case studies with this module to analyze Korean cogeneration market. The result of this study will be useful to utility and industrial cogeneration planners for rapid analysis of cogeneration's value under a broad range of scenarios.

This paper presents the capacity payment in electricity power markets. The capacity payment (CP) needs to recover fixed costs. But most CP is allocated by energy policy. So, this paper analysis CP using capacity proportion and Reliability Pricing Model (RPM). The capacity proportion method uses base capacity price and supply available capacity. The RPM method uses value of each region and operation attribute of each generator.

Although Jeju island Is connected with main network system by HVDC cable line, it's network assumes the form of independent system in an operating point of view. Therefore Jeju needs it's own independent capacity expansion planning. Continuos growth of demand and increase of antiquated plants in Jeju requires additional generating capacity. This paper analyzes characteristics of two alternatives which include it's own expansion of facilities and capacity expansion of network system for Jeju island. Furthermore this paper evaluates economic efficiency of those alternatives and analyzes long-term program of demand-supply of electricity.

In competitive electricity markets, the System Operator (SO) coordinates the overall maintenance schedules whenever the collective maintenance schedule reported to SO by Gencos in the pool does not satisfy the specified operating criteria, such as system reliability or supply adequacy. In this paper, we divide maintenance schedule problem into master-problem and sub-problem. Master-problem is schedule coordination and sub-problem is DC-optimal power flow. If sub-problem is infeasible, we use the algorithm of modifying operating criteria of master-problem.

Thermolectric devices could convert temperature gradient into electricity (Seebeck effect) and electric power into temperature gradient across the themoelectric element (Peltier effect). $Bi_2Te_3$ has been widely used as thermoelectric material for more than 40 years, due to the superior thermoelctric characteristics. However, Bi and Te materials are predicted to face supply shortage, giving strong necessity for the development of new thermoelctric materials. Based on the theoretical prediction, nanostructure are expected to give dramatic enhnacement of thermoelectirc characteristics by controlling phonon propagation. Thus, silicon, which had been considered as improper material for thermoelectricity, is now being considered as strong cadidate material for thermoelectricity. This review will focus on the nanotechnology applied research activities in silicon as thermoelectric materials.

현행 농어촌전화촉진법에 의한 10호이상 도서전화사업이 2006년 말까지 완료될 예정임에 따라 전국적으로 43개에 달하는 10호미만 미전화유인도서 및 벽지지역에 대한 전화사업의 필요성이 제기되었다. 10호미만 도서지역의 전화사업을 위하여 도서전화사업의 기본취지인 전력정책의 보편공급목표를 달성하면서 사회적 경제적비용을 최소화할 수 있는 방법의 채택이 요구되었다 본 연구에서는 대부분의 도서지역이 채택하고 있는 기존의 디젤방식과 최근 활발한 보급이 이루어지고 있는 태양광 풍력 등 신재생에너지에 의한 발전방식의 기술적 옵션에 대한 타당성 분석을 실시하였다. 10호미만 도서지역과 5호미만 벽지지역에 디젤엔진과 태양광 등 신재생에너지를 보급할 경우 발생될 기술적, 경제적 비용의 분석을 실시하였으며 연구 결과 소규모 도서지역과 벽지에서는 태양광이 디젤엔진보다 경제적인 대안으로 판명되었다.

Organic production practices varied among producers. Generally, organic producers were relying on imported input materials such as organic compost and liquid fertilizer even more than conventional producers. Very few organic farmers had composting facilities or sites for the own supply of compost in need. The productivity of organic kiwifruit orchard (92%) was not as low as that of conventional while the net income (243%) was more than double that of conventional. This was mainly attributed to high farm gate price of organic fruits, low paid labour use and electricity. As a consequence, organic kiwifruit production seems to become a feasible option in Korea. However, high dependence on imported farming material, fuel and labour for too frequent liquid fertilizer spray should be addressed to achieve long term sustainability of organic kiwifruit production.
