일반적으로 도시배수 시스템은 개수로 흐름으로 설계 된다. 그러나 설계빈도를 초과하는 강우발생 시 배수 시스템의 합류부 또는 맨홀 등에서 부분적인 과부하 흐름이 발생되고 있다. 그러므로 이와 같은 과부하 흐름에 의해 발생하는 배수 시스템에서의 압력흐름에 대한 연구의 필요성이 제기 되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 설계빈도를 초과 하는 강우사상 그리고 예측할 수 없는 집중호우 시 맨홀에서의 과부하 흐름에 관한 연구를 수행 하였다. 배수 시스템에서의 압력흐름의 문제점은 과부하 맨홀로부터의 월류량에 의한 도시홍수 발생이다. 그러므로 배수 시스템은 개수로 흐름으로 설계 되어야 할 뿐만 아니라 과부하 흐름 발생 시 맨홀내의 에너지 손실을 고려한 압력흐름의 해석이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 과부하 맨홀의 에너지 손실을 고려하여 압력흐름을 해석 할 수 있는 수치모형을 개발하였다. 수치모형을 검증하기 위하여 수리모형실험 결과와 비교 검증하였고, 도시유출해석에 가장 널리 이용되는 SWMM의 결과와도 비교하였다. SWMM은 맨홀 내의 에너지 손실을 적절히 반영하지 못함으로써 맨홀 수심을 과소 산정하는 결과를 보인 반면, 본 연구 모형은 수리모형실험결과와 잘 일치하였다.

최근 도시미관과 편리성을 위해 지중송전선로의 사용이 확대되고 있다. 하지만 지중송전선로에서 발생하는 손실, 특히 24시간 상시 운영되는 3상 케이블을 지지하고 있는 금구류에서 발생하는 손실에 관한 연구는 부족하다. 케이블지지 금구류는 도전율과 투자율을 가지는 재질로 구성되어지기 때문에 케이블에 흐르는 전류에 의한 자기장 때문에 와전류 및 히스테리시스 손실이 발생하게 된다. 이 때 발생하는 손실은 전력 에너지 전달 효율에 악영향을 미치기 때문에 손실에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 3차원 유한요소해석을 통하여 케이블의 주변 금구류에서 발생하는 와전류 및 히스테리시스 손실에 대하여 분석하였다.

태양열 집열기의 열손실은 크게 3가지 즉 상부 열손실, 하부 열손실, 측부 열손실로 대별되나 단열이 양호한 집열기에서는 일반적으로 측면으로의 열손실은 무시한다. 측부 열손실을 제외한 두 열손실 중에서도 상부 열손실은 집열기의 대부분의 열손실을 차지하는 지배적인 요소이다. 따라서 태양열 집열기의 집열 성능을 정확하게 파악하기 위해서는 상부 열손실 계수를 정확하게 계산할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서 사용한 평판형 태양열 집열기(재생기)는 하계에는 제습 및 냉방을 행하고 동계에는 난방을 행하는 전천후 집열판으로 제작되었다. 따라서 장치의 전환없이 겨울에 난방용으로 사용하였을 경우의 집열 성능을 파악하기 위하여 옥외에서 실험을 하였다. 동계 기간 실험을 통하여 본 집열기의 상부 열손실 계수는 약 $3{\sim}4.5W/m^2^{\circ}C$임을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 집열표면에 선택흡수막을 입혀서 난방용으로 사용하면 주위와의 복사 열손실을 크게 줄일 수 있기 때문에 본 집열기의 집열 성능을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In medium voltage electrical distribution networks, reforming the loss reduction is important, and in line with this, the issue of system engineering and use of proper equipment Expansion of distribution systems results in higher system losses and poor voltage regulation. Therefore, an efficient and effective distribution system has become more important. So, proper selection of conductors in the distribution system is crucial as it determines the current density and the resistance of the line. Evaluation of aging conductors for losses and costs imposed in addition to the careful planning of technical and economic networks can be identified in the network design. In this paper the use of imperialist competitive algorithm; genetic algorithm; is proposed to optimal branch conductor selection and reconstruction in radial distribution systems planning. The objective is to minimize the overall cost of annual energy losses and depreciation on the cost of conductors to improve productivity given the maximum current carrying capacity and acceptable voltage levels. Simulations are carried out on 69-bus radial distribution network using genetic algorithm approaches to show the accuracy as well as the efficiency of the proposed solution technique.

Conventional boost-full-bridge and boost-hybrid-bridge two-stage inverters are widely applied in order to adapt to the wide dc input voltage range of photovoltaic arrays. However, the efficiency of the conventional topology is not fully optimized because additional switching losses are generated in the voltage conversion so that the input voltage rises and then falls. Moreover, the electrolytic capacitors in a dc-link lead to a larger volume combined with increases in both weight and cost. This paper proposes a higher efficiency inverter with time-sharing synchronous modulation. The energy transmission paths, wheeling branches and switching losses for the high-frequency switches are optimized so that the overall efficiency is greatly improved. In this paper, a contrastive analysis of the component losses for the conventional and proposed inverter topologies is carried out in MATLAB. Finally, the high-efficiency under different switching frequencies and different input voltages is verified by a 3 kW prototype.

Reduction of optical losses in crystalline silicon solar cells by surface modification is one of the most important issues of silicon photovoltaics. Porous Si layers on the front surface of textured Si substrates have been investigated with the aim of improving the optical losses of the solar cells, because an anti-reflection coating and a surface passivation can be obtained simultaneously in one process. We have demonstrated the feasibility of a very efficient porous Si AR layer, prepared by a simple, cost effective, electrochemical etching method. Silicon p-type CZ (100) oriented wafers were textured by anisotropic etching in sodium carbonate solution. Then, the porous Si layer were formed by electrochemical etching in HF solutions. After that, the properties of porous Si in terms of morphology, structure and reflectance are summarized. The surface morphology of porous Si layers were investigated using SEM. The formation of a porous Si layer about $0.1{\mu}m$ thick on the textured silicon wafer result in an effective reflectance coefficient $R_{eff}$ lower than 5% in the wavelength region from 400 to 1000nm. Such a surface modification allows improving the Si solar cell characteristics.

Postharvest diseases cause considerable losses to harvested fruits and vegetables worldwide. Fresh produce suspected of harboring postharvest disease must be treated to control any pathogens present. Although there are various treatments to control postharvest losses by pathogens, the current community is eager to take safer and more eco-friendly alternatives to help with human health and reduce environmental risks. Ionizing irradiation is a promising phytosanitary treatment that has a significant potential to control postharvest diseases in use worldwide. Although almost 19000 metric tons of sweet potatoes and various fruits are irradiated each year in six countries to control postharvest disease, irradiation continues to be a debate, with slow acceptance by industries. Irradiation alone is not effective as a fungicide, and an over dose affects the physical properties of irradiated products. A combination of irradiation with other treatments such as heating, biocontrol agents, chlorination, and nano Ag particles is to enhance their effectiveness. Challenges to the use of phytosanitary irradiation are an avoidance of irradiated postharvest and cost of the irradiation facilities, and thus consumers still need to be educated on the principles and benefits of irradiation and prepare an optimum economy of scale for commercial use. In this review, we evaluated the current phytosanitary irradiation, and combination with various other treatments to minimize the postharvest losses.

In this paper, a Magnetic Core Reactor (MCR) which forms a part of the DC reactor type three-phase high-Tc superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been developed. This SFCL is more economical than other types with three coils since it uses only one high-Tc superconducting (HTS) coil. When DC reactor type three-phase high-Tc SFCL is developed using just one coil, fewer power electronic devices and shorter HTS wire are needed. The SFCL proposed in this paper needs a power-linking device to connect the SFCL to the power system. The design concept for this device was sprang from the fact that the magnetic energy could be changed into the electrical energy and vice versa. Ferromagnetic material is used as a path of magnetic flux. When high-Tc superconducting DC reactor is separated from the power system by using SCRs, this device also limits fault current until the circuit breaker is opened. The device mentioned above was named Magnetic Core Reactor (MCR). MCR was designed to minimize the voltage drop and total losses. Majority of the design parameters was tuned through experiments with the design prototype. In the experiment, the current density of winding conductor was found to be $1.3\;A/mm^2$, voltage drop across MCR was 20 V and total losses on normal state was 1.3 kW.

The objective of this development project is to localize an automatic molten metal supplier that has been distributed by WESTOMAT, Germany, throughout the world. To achieve this purpose, an energy-saving pressurized dosing furnace and molten metal differential pressure control system that Is able to automatically supply a determined quantity of aluminum molten metal were developed. The localized equipment was installed in a site. Also, the results of the test operation of this equipment can be summarized as follows: It was able to improve the productivity because there were small decreases in supplying speeds and small losses in wastes compared to the existing mechanical molten metal supplier. Also, it was able to minimize the cost in maintenances due to the direct application of high temperature molten metals to molds. In addition, there were small energy losses due to the use of high thermal insulators compared to the existing reverberating furnace and able to prolong the life-time of furnaces and produce good quality nonferrous metals because it represented small carbon refractories and alumina in applied molten metals. Furthermore, it demonstrated no particular differences by objectively comparing it with the product by WESTOMAT.
