제조업에서 생산설비에 사용되는 중요한 에너지원 중 하나는 전력에너지이며, 에너지 다소비 업종의 생산설비 즉, 플랜트에서는 사용하는 에너지의 절감과 효율 운전은 매우 중요한 관심사항이다. 본 논문에서는 생산 플랜트의 한 공정에서 가장 빈번히 사용되는 유도전동기를 모델로 하여 실제 진단, 계측을 통하여 측정값을 얻고, 기존의 운전 중인 설비들을 고효율 기기로 교체하였을 경우의 경제성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해서 현재 운전 중인 설비와 고효율설비로 교체하였을 경우에 대하여 각각 설비들의 연간 운전비용과 자본회수계수에 의한 연간 투자비용을 계산하였고, 이를 합산한 연간 총 운용비용을 비교하여 고효율설비의 경제적 타당성을 입증하였다.

The pollution problem of fossil energy sources has caused the development of green energy harvesting systems. Piezoelectric energy harvesting technology has been developed under those external environmental factors. A piezoelectric energy harvester can be defined as a device which transforms mechanical vibration or impact energy into electrical energy. Most researches have focused on bender structures. However, these have a limitation on energy efficiency because of the small effective electromechanical coupling factor, around 10%. Therefore, we should look for a new design for energy harvesting. A cymbal energy harvester can be a good candidate for the high-power energy harvester because it uses a high amplification mechanism using endcaps while keeping a higher electromechanical coupling factor. In this research, we focused on energy efficiency improvements of the cymbal energy harvester by changing the polarization direction, because the electromechanical coupling factor of the k33 mode and the k15 mode is larger than that of the k31 mode. Theoretically, we checked the cymbal harvester with radial polarization and it could obtain 6 times larger energy than that with the k31 direction polarization. Furthermore, we verified the theoretical expectation using the finite element method program. Consequently, we could expect a more efficient cymbal harvester with the radial polarization by comparing two polarization directions.

In this paper, new high-efficiency zero voltage switching (ZVS) AC-DC boost converter is proposed to achieve power factor correction by simplifing energy recovery circuit. A lot of high power factor correction circuits have been proposed and applied to increase input power factor and efficiency. Most of these circuits may obtain unity power factor and achieve sinusoidal current waveform with zero voltage or/and zero current switching. However, it is difficult for them to obtain low cost, small size, low weight, and low noise. The topology proposed to improve these problems can compact the devices in circuit and can achieve high efficiency ZVS AC-DC boost converter. Simulation and experimental results show that this topology is capable of obtaining high power factor and increasing the efficiency of the system.

A need for building energy efficiency is on the issue since energy demand in the building stock in Korea represents about 24% of the final energy consumption. As a way of improving the thermal performance of buildings for reducing maintenance costs and environmental conservation, a lot of effort is shown to improve the building energy efficiency by applying improvement of envelope insulation performance for buildings whose energy efficiency is low relatively through the remodeling. The windows of building envelopes are areas that lead to the biggest heat loss in the building. So windows are considered to be the primary target of energy efficiency in remodeling and various studies for windows have been done. Currently, however, only U-factor and airtightness of windows performance are regulated. Window wall ratio(WWR) and solar heat gain coefficient(SHGC) of windows are not considered when conducting the remodeling. In this study appropriate performance of windows(U-factor and SHGC) for existing residential is proposed according to the window wall ratio by using EnergyPlus. As the results of this study, the U-factor of windows representing the maximum energy savings is $1.0W/m^2K$ but in case of SHGC, the values that indicate the maximum energy savings are different depending on the window wall ratio. Therefore, when conducting the remodeling of windows, to determine energy efficiency by considering only the U-factor is inadequate so it is necessary that appropriate windows are applied to buildings by considering window wall ratio and windows properties(U-factor and SHGC).

원유가의 급등과 더불어 에너지자원에 대한 관심이 크게 증가 되었는데, 다양한 에너지관련 분야 중에서 먼저 선행되어야 하는 것은 기존의 설비에서 사용하고 있는 에너지가 효과적으로 사용되고 있는가를 판단하는 것이며, 이를 에너지 효율의 산정이라고 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 에너지의 주요 수요처중 하나인 제지 생산 플랜트의 한 공정에서 전력에너지와 열에너지에 대한 에너지효율을 계산하였다. 이때 전력에너지는 운전 중인 전동기의 부하에 따른 효율을 중심으로, 열에너지는 공정에서 입출력되는 열량을 중심으로 계산하였다. 즉 운전 중인 생산설비의 한 공정의 전력과 열에너지에 대해 각각 에너지효율을 산정하였으며 일부 에너지절감에 대한 방안도 제시하였다.

The modification factor( k-factor) of equivalent damping ratio utilized in the current state-of-the-practice to account for the imperfection of reinforced concrete structures in hysteresis loop is investigated. From this, it is found that the current modification factor does not include the effect of cyclic loading, one of the important characteristic properties of earthquake loading. This could be taken into account by considering the energy absorption efficiency based on the cummulative plastic deformation. From the study, it is suggested that the current approach for the modification factor for the equivalent damping ratio should be reformed.

An experimental study was conducted on the effect of compressor capacity control range of heat pump on the seasonal energy efficiency ratio with variation of the maximum and minimum compressor input frequencies. To obtain seasonal energy efficiency ratio, steady state test at the maximum, minimum and intermediate compressor speed and cyclic test at the minimum compressor speed should be conducted. Maximum input frequency was varied to 95Hz, 105Hz, and 115Hz, and the minimum input frequency was varied to 35Hz, 45Hz, and 55Hz. The seasonal energy efficiency ratio increased as the input frequency of the compressor decreased. The maximum input frequency had only slight effects on the SEER.

본 논문은 에너지 효율성 지표로써 투입물로 에너지뿐만 아니라 노동과 자본 등을 동시에 고려한 총요소 에너지 효율성을 DEA에 기초하여 2005-2013년 기간 동안 우리나라 16개 시 도의 제조업 부문에 대하여 추정하였다. 추정결과에 의하면, 단일요소 에너지 효율성과 총요소 에너지 효율성 간에 차이가 존재하여 두 지표를서로 보완적으로 사용할 필요성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 총요소 에너지 효율성 지표는 대부분의 시 도들에서 높게 나타났는데 서울, 광주, 울산, 경북 등은 프런티어에 위치하지만, 강원, 부산, 대구, 인천 등은 상대적으로 매우 비효율적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 패널 토빗 모형을 통해 총요소 에너지 효율성의 결정 요인을 추정한 결과에 의하면, 대기업의 생산액 비중이 클수록, 에너지 다소비업종의 생산액 비중이 작을수록, 그리고 전력 사용 비중이 클수록, 총요소 에너지 효율성에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 추정되었다.

Recently, there have been suggestions that power factor should be considered to increase the efficiency of electric power supply when evaluating the performance of the electric appliances in standby mode and the related studies have been conducted to improve the efficiency standard of standby power. But, they lack the analysis of the standby power characteristics with the changes of power factor. This study is conducted to analyze the standby power characteristics of TV which is a typical home appliance and reaches a conclusion that the apparent power can be a more reasonable index which reflects the efficiency of electric power supply. It is also found that LED TVs show the best performance in standby mode. Moreover, an example to set standby power standards on TVs to be applied in the future is suggested, considering the energy efficiency policies for appliances.
