Recently, the attention to renewable energy has increased globally because of the environmental issue and the global energy crisis. Accordingly, south korea is focused on increasing the renewable energy usage. And the government enforced a law to the public buildings to install the renewable energy facilities. In this study, the building to evaluate renewable energy consumption and supply ratio was selected. This building has 9.79% of renewable energy supply ratio by PV system. In this study, the method for improving renewable energy supply ratio was analyzed using additional PV system. And The 5 methods to increasing electricity were evaluated. The method of increase 4.24 times PV arrays area is most efficient way to increase the renewable supply ratio. The case 1, show that the increasing renewable energy supply ratio of 39.2% compared to exsiting PV system. The result of the above, consider the additional supply of renewable energy.

With the increased awareness of energy consumption as well as the environmental impact of building operations, architects, designers and planners are required to place more consideration on sustainability and energy performance of the building. To ensure most of those considerations are reflected in the building performance, critical design decisions should be made by key stakeholders early during the design development stage. The application of BIM during building energy simulations has profoundly improved the energy analysis process and thus this approach has gained momentum. However, despite rapid advances in BIM-based processes, the question still remains how ordinary building stakeholders can perform energy performance analysis, which has previously been conducted predominantly by professionals, to maximize energy efficient building performance. To address this issue, we identified two leading building performance analysis software programs, Energy Plus and IES (IES ), and compared their effectiveness and suitability as BIM-based energy simulation tools. To facilitate this study, we examined a case study on Building Performance Model (BPM) of a single story building with one door, multiple windows on each wall, a slab and a roof. We focused particularly on building energy performance by differing building orientation and window sizes and compared how effectively these two software programs analyzed the performance. We also looked at typical decision-making processes implementing building energy simulation program during the early design stages in the U.S. Finally, conclusions were drawn as to how to conduct BIM-based building energy performance evaluations more efficiently. Suggestions for further avenues of research are also made.

상용 모사기인 ASPEN PLUS를 이용하여 천연가스를 사용하는 50 ㎾ 인산형 연료전지시스템의 정상상태 전산모사를 실시하였다. 연료전지 본체의 모사를 위하여 USER 블럭과 FORTRAN 블럭을 작성하였다. 여러가지 조업조건에 따른 수소의 수율 변화를 살펴봄으로써 개질기의 효율을 최대로 하는 조업범위를 찾았고, 실제 경우와 근사한 결과를 얻었다. 이로부터 향후 실용화될 국내의 연료전지시스템에 대한 기본 자료와 최적조건을 제시할 수 있다. 기존의 발전효율을 얻기 위하여는 수소이용률이 50%, 이상으로 유지되어야 하며, 고온으로 조작되는 개질기와 연료전지 본체에서 발생되는 고온의 열을 효율적으로 회수하여 이용함으로써 공정의 에너지효율을 높일 수 있다.

To estimate the benefit of high-resolution meteorological data for building energy estimation, a building energy analysis has been conducted over Busan metropolitan areas. The heating and cooling load has been calculated at seven observational sites by using temperature, wind and relative humidity data provided by WRF model combined with the inner building data produced by American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The building energy shows differences 2-3% in winter and 10-30% in summer depending on locations. This result implicates that high spatiotemporal resolution of meteorological model data is significantly important for building energy analysis.

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimum slat angle of the venetian blind which was applied at an outer skin of a curtain-wall system. The evaluation of the blind slat angle was performed in terms of the comfortable visual environment and decreased energy consumption. The office building prototype was considered for the analysis and simulation variables include application of blind, blind slat angle and dimming control of lighting. The annual energy consumption and incidence rate of discomfort glare were analyzed using EnergyPlus which is developed by the U. S. Department of Energy for the detailed building energy simulation. As a result, it turns out that when the blind (reflectance: 0.5) was installed, the annual energy consumption was greater than that of the base model. However, when the dimming control was applied, the maximum energy saving of 16.3% could be achieved at a slat angle of $0^{\circ}$. In addition, in case of the base model, the incidence rate of discomfort glare was 84%, while the case of the blind with the slat angle of $0^{\circ}$ showed that the incidence rate of discomfort glare was 42.4%. Consequently, the results showed that the slat angle of $55^{\circ}$ with dimming control was the optimum strategy for the comfortable visual environment and decreased energy consumption.

최근 들어 지속적인 폐기물 발생량의 증가와 화석 연료 고갈 문제를 해결하기 위해 폐기물을 이용한 열에너지 회수에 대한 관심이 증가 하고 있다. 에너지 회수를 위한 폐기물 처리공정으로 소각이 가장 많이 이용되고 있으나 소각 시 발생되는 대기오염물질을 처리하기 위한 공정 설계 및 설치비용이 많이 소요된다. 본 연구에서는 화학공정을 모사하는 software인 Aspen plus를 이용하여 실제 산업폐기물 소각로와 배가스처리 공정을 모사해 보았다. 소각공정은 폐기물 연소를 위한 1차 연소와 2차 연소, urea를 이용하여 $NO_x$를 환원시키는 SNCR공정과 연소시 발생하는 에너지 회수를 위한 스팀 생산 공정으로 구성되어 있다. 연소시 발생하는 산성가스(HCl, $SO_2$)를 제거하기 위하여 슬러리 상태의 $Ca(OH)_2$를 주입하였으며 산성가스 중화시 생성되는 부산물과 ash는 bag filter에서 제거하는 것으로 모사 하였다. 모사결과는 실제 산업폐기물 소각로의 배가스 처리 효율과 비교적 잘 일치하였으며 또한 장래 배가스 처리 시스템의 효율을 예측하는데도 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Electric vehicles (EV) demands for greater acceleration, performance and vehicle range in pure electric vehicles plus mandated requirements to further reduce emissions in hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) increase the appeal for combined on-board energy storage systems and generators. And the power electronics plays an important role in providing an interface between fuel cells (FC) and loads. This paper deals with a multiple input DC-DC power converter devoted to combine the power flowing of multi-source on energy systems. The multi-source is composed of (i) FC system as a prime power demands, (ii) super capacitor banks as energy storage devices for high and intense power demands, (iii) superconducting magnetic energy storage system (SMES), (iv) multiple input DC-DC power converter and (v) a three phase inverter-fed permanent magnet synchronous motor as a drive. In this system, It is used super capacitor banks and superconducting magnetic energy replaces from the battery system. The modeling and transient performance simulation is effective for reducing transient influence caused by sudden charge of effective load. The main purpose of power electronic converters is to convert the DC power output from the fuel cell and other to a suitable AC voltage, which can be connected to electric loads directly (PMSM). The fuel cell and other output is connected to the DC-DC converter, which regulates the DC link voltage.

In this study, the effects of considering hourly metabolic rate variations for predicted mean vote (PMV) control on the heating and cooling energy and greenhouse gas emission were investigated. The case adopting PMV control taking the hourly metabolic rate into account was comparatively analyzed against the conventional dry-bulb air temperature control, using a detailed simulation technique. Under the assumption that all the apartments in Korea adopt the PMV control incorporating real-time metabolic rate measurements, nationwide reductions of primary energy and greenhouse gas emission were analyzed. As a result, PMV control considering hourly metabolic rate variations is expected to reduce national primary energy by 6.2% compared to conventional dry-bulb air temperature control, corresponding to reduction of 10,342 GWh. In addition, it turned out that 6.6% of tCO2 emission can be reduced by adopting PMV control, corresponding to nationwide reduction of greenhouse gas emission by approximately 1,720,000 tCO2.
