  • The hydraulic hybrid vehicle(HHV) is an application of hydrostatic transmission technology to improve vehicle fuel economy and emissions. A relatively lower energy density of hydraulic accumulator and complicated coordinating operations between two power sources require a special energy management strategy to maximize the fuel saving potential. This paper presents a new type of configuration for parallel HHV to minimize the disadvantages of the hydraulic accumulator, as well as a methodology for developing an energy management strategy tailored specially for PHHV. Based on an analysis of the optimal energy distribution between two power sources over a representative urban driving cycle with a Dynamic Programming(DP) algorithm, a fuzzy-based optimal torque management strategy is designed and developed to control the torque distribution. Simulation results demonstrates that the optimal torque management strategy maximizes the advantages of this hybrid type of configuration, and the high power density characteristics of hydraulic technology effectively improve the robustness of the energy management strategy and fuel economy of the PHHV.

  • This paper overviews the concept of the strategic niche management, which emphasises the social aspects of new technologies and calls for relevant government policies for socio-technical transition. Hydrogen energy technologies remain in the niche level, thus the SNM perspective is appropriate to be applied. The reason why, and the way how to see hydrogen as a socio-technical niche are discussed, followed by an analytic argument on hydrogen policies and their SNM characteristics. Final part of the paper deals the design of the socio-technical experiment. It is expected that this paper would contribute to not only policy development but also improving understandings on the socio-technical nature of hydrogen energy of hydrogen community.

  • Korean government adopted nuclear energy as a key energy source to reconstruct the shattered Korean economy caused by the oil shock in the 1970s, by securing cheap and stable electricity supply. During the 1980s, nuclear energy Played a crucial role as a foundation stone in the rapid growth of Korean economy. In addition, since 1997 nuclear energy has discharged its duty as a leading energy source to overcome the IMF foreign currency crisis. Finally, in 1999 the Korean nuclear power plants achieved the highest performance results compared with others in the world. In this article, I am going to look through the current status of Korean nuclear power generantion with an index of its development and I would like to suggest necessary tasks to Korean nuclear power industries to become more competitive in the future.

  • The current situation of heating and cooling system of the classrooms of our country is rather poor compared not only to those of the developed nation's classrooms but also in case of other buildings such as financial institutions, office compounds. In winter, especially students have been in hatred state with respect to their health due to the fact that the heater is operated by petroleum. Korea has been heavily dependent on foreign nations for the very fact of importing energy in the form of oil or natural gas. So it is important to conserve energy and the picture with respect to energy remains similar till today as it was in long past periods. The purpose of this study is to contribute actively in energy economy and facilitate towards a healthy school life of students and other institutions proving a system of extracting energy from river water and then converting it into heat which can stand as an effective alternate of expensive oil or gas. Installing oil-stove based heating system at classrooms of school could get considerable attentation in several respects. The proposed heat energy could be collected unlimitedly both in time and in amount. The stable and uninterrupted heat energy from river water, optimally utilizing the typical-regional and geographical characteristics has the potential to be long-lasting in duration, cheap in energy economy and beneficial to health as well.

  • The hybrid vehicle has a good fuel economy with a electric type braking energy regeneration system. This paper introduced a novel pneumatic type braking energy regeneration system. The novel system use a scroll mechanism which have both compression function and expansion function. While vehicle is decelerating, the scroll machinery, being operated as a scroll compressor, compress a atmospheric air to save the vehicle's kinetic energy and reuse a compressed air which is reserved in a air tank while vehicle is accelerating. In order to analyze fuel improvements by applying braking energy regeneration system to a vehicle, we simulated the rate of braking energy regeneration through CVS-75 mode driving patterns.

  • Currently, major foreign countries such as Europe, the United States, Japan, and China have established policy and technology goals by 2050 to achieve the hydrogen economy. In line with this, Korea is also preparing to leap forward as a leading country in the world's best hydrogen economy by establishing a technology development target by 2050. In this paper, by examining and analyzing domestic and foreign policy and technology trends to date, implications for domestic hydrogen policy and technology trends are discussed, and major issues and future contents are summarized.

  • The purpose of the article is to analyze the functioning of economic systems in the context of the development of their potential in a circular economy. It is determined that the functioning of economic systems to ensure their sustainability should meet modern challenges and provide for the formation of competitive institutional architecture, the introduction of structural and regulatory innovations, the transition to an innovative model of development. The specific principles of functioning of economic systems include openness, nonlinearity, multivectority, dynamism, emergence, uncertainty about the development of economic processes. It is substantiated that the linear nature of development and equilibrium are not dominant in the functioning of economic systems, and increasing the level of economic efficiency should go hand in hand with minimizing the activities of enterprises, which necessitates the use of circular economy. The main prerequisites for the transition to a circular economy are analyzed. It is determined that the basic concept of the circular economy involves the development of a system of production and consumption, which is based on processing, reuse, repair, product sharing, change of consumption patterns and new business models and systems. The main elements of the circular economy include: a closed cycle, the use of renewable energy sources, systems thinking. The correlation of the principles of sustainable development and the peculiarities of the application of the circular economy is analyzed. It is determined that the circular economy contrasts with the traditional linear economic model, which is based on the model of "take-do-consume-throw away". The advantages and disadvantages due to the use of the principles of circular economy are given. Based on the study, steps are identified to accelerate the transition from a linear economy to a circular economy.
