There has been considerable interest recently in the topic of renewable energy. This is primarily due to concerns about environmental impacts. Moreover, fluctuating and rising oil prices, increases in demand, supply uncertainties and other factors have led to increased calls for alternative energy sources. Small hydropower, especially using water supply system, attracts high attentions because of relatively lower cost and smaller space requirements to construct the plant. Moreover. newly developed positive displacement turbine has high acceptability for the system. Therefore, the purpose of this study is focused on the examination of the performance characteristics and proposition of a optimum design method of the turbine for the improvement of the performance. The results show that newly proposed optimum design method for the turbine has high accuracy of performance prediction and good applicability for the performance improvement of the turbine.

The zone of greenhouse in Korea increase on a scale yearly. Particularly, greenhouse take up a important value on the agriculture economy. Greenhouse of scale, material, heating system, and drain is progressing to industrialization. The dry bulb temperature, humidity, photosynthesis and so forth are necessary to maintain environment control of greenhouse. The dry bulb temperature among them greatly affects growing of a plant. The purpose of this study is to analyzed the indoor environment control system and the characteristic of dry bulb temperature distribution on a large scale greenhouse in summer season.

Soiling is the accumulation of dirt on photovoltaic (PV) modules and can reduce the performance of the PV power plant depending on the site location. Nevertheless, the reason which can not be the great interest to researchers of PV reliability is the phenomenon of performance loss caused by external environmental factors, not the internal degradation of the PV module. In this paper, we provide the phenomenon, history, research overview and mitigation method in order to help understanding of the soiling.

Accelerated thermal aging conditions of polymeric materials were studied by Kissinger equation with TGA analysis. The activation energy was obtained from the slope of straight line of each specimen at the different TGA heating rate. Estimating activation energy from Kissinger equation was acquired, and the resulting calculation showed that 3.59, 3.0, 3.86, 3.73 for the PEEK, polyimide, polysulfone and Viton, respectively. The studied polymeric specimens are used for electrical penetration assembly in nuclear power plant. Accelerated aging time and temperature were also determined corresponding to actual service temperature and 41 years.

The electric demands increase, financial need for new power plant constructions and environmental problem have led to search for more efficient energy production and load management. To minimize the construction of power plants and reduce total power consumption include installation of demand controller to industrial applications. Accordingly to maximize the load control by the diffusion of demand controller, govermental economic supports as well as the analysis of energy saving effects. This paper presents the cost-effectiveness analysis for DSM program evaluation and case study to analyze demand controller DSM program.

The design of Intelligent Energy Saving Power System Controller (IESPSC) for Telecom DC power plants is proposed and presented in this paper. From the past experience. rectifiers for Telecom DC power plants have been operated inefficiently at light loads. IESPSC offers "novel load sharing" approach based on the knowledge of each unit's efficiency of paralleled rectifiers. Neural networks is used for identifying each rectifier's efficiency characteristic curve corresponding to load currents, which is in turn utilized to produce a system efficiency close to the maximum under all operating conditions. In addition, by limiting the number of operating units to the minimum while maintaining high efficiency at the determined loads, a drastic savings in operating cost can be achieved.

대부분의 기존 화력발전소는 기동정지가 빈번하지 않고 부하는 정상운전시에 일정하게 운전된다. 그러나, 최근에 원자력발전소 운전과 다양한 형태의 전력소비가 이루어지고 있어 발전소에 대한 효율적인 운전이 요구되어지고 있다. 따라서, 일일기동정지 및 주말기동정지 운전이 이루어지고 있으며, 발전소의 기동, 정지 및 부하변동이 자주 일어나며, 이러한 운전형태는 수처리시스템에 영향을 미치게 된다. P 화력발전소는 일일기동정지 운전개념으로 설계되었으며, 수처리설비중의 하나인 약품주입 제어시스템은 수질을 일정한 설정치로 유지시키지 못하였으며, 현장기술자가 PID 제어기 대신에 F(x) 함수를 갖는 제어시스템으로 설계변경하였으나 시험운전 결과는 만족스런 성능을 나타내지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 제어성능을 개선하기 위한 퍼지약품주입시스템을 제안하고 시뮬레이션으로 타당성을 입증하였다.

Many domestic organizations are pushing ahead with small hydropower business to develop a renewable energy. In addition each organization gradually spreads small hydropower business with searching the best site for it. And KOWACO(Korea Waters Resources Corporation) answers a purpose of the government policy to spread the wide use of a renewable energy. This study explains the researching programs for the best development sites for small hydropower generation with using water pipes managed and controled by KOWACO.

The first RDF production plant in Korea is going to start commercial operation at Won-Ju city in October this year, where municipal solid waste is treated and converted to RBF. Korean government is preparing the quality standard of RDF and starting a new waste policy of RDF promotion instead of general waste treatment technologies such as incineration or landfill. In Europe the EU member states have decided the united quality standard of RDF to increase the amount of new & renewable energy through the promotion of RDF utilization. New quality standard of RDF and trade market of RDF in Europe is introduced in this paper.

Recently, concern for tidal power is being increased by newly recycled energy. It is important to decide on the maximum power estimate operation and it's stop by applying the difference of water level between tide level and artificial reservoir for the administration of tidal development. For maximum output of power through turbine generator, administrative variables and process on efficiency of hydraulic turbine and inflow discharge of reservoir is quite complicated because it is run through the connection of discharge-gate and turbine On the development of this model, the administrative process is decided, Operation block is presented for it's maximum power estimate.
