  • To carry out systematic groundwater assessment, exploration and management and to use these for protection of optimal groundwater yield, a data analysis and management system is required. Thus, the object of this research was to develop and apply software that integrates GIS and groundwater modeling: GISGAM (GIS for groundwater analysis and management system). The GIS program ArcView and the groundwater-modeling program MODFLOW were used for the GISGAM. The program components consist of a pre-processor, a processor, and a post-processor for groundwater modeling. In addition, GIS functions such as input, manipulation, analysis and output of data were embedded into the program. In applying the program to pilot area, topography, geology, soil, land use and well databases, and a groundwater flow model were constructed for the study area. This case study revealed the advantage and convenience of groundwater modeling using GIS capabilities. By integrating GIS and the groundwater model, the impact of changing values of hydrogeological constants on model results could be more easily evaluated.

  • Because of the limited fossil resources and the need to avoid emissions and toxic waste the future energy supply will be based on a large portion of renewable energies: wind-, solar-, biomass- and geothermal energy. Focus is on the utilization of wind energy coming from onshore- and offshore-sites. Generating electricity from wind is state of the art and feeding large amounts of wind power into the electrical grid will create some additional problems. Suggestions concerning energy storage will be made and the problem of power quality is discussed.

  • Acid Rock Drainage(ARD) is the product formed by the atmospheric(i.e. by water, oxygen and carbon dioxide) oxidation of the relatively common iron-sulphur minerals pyrite($FeS_2$). ARD causes the acidification and heavy metal contamination of water and soil and the reduction of slope stability. In this study the generation characteristics and the prediction of ARD of various road cut slopes were studied. An attempt to classify the rocks into several groups according to their acid generation potentials was made. Acid Base Accounting(ABA) tests, commonly used as a screening tool in ARD predictions, were performed. Sixteen rock samples were classified into PAF(potentially acid forming) group and four rock samples into NAF(non-acid forming) group. The chemical analysis of water samples strongly suggested that ARD with high content of heavy metals and low pH could pollute the ground water and/or stream water.

  • Korea is utilizing geothermal resources mainly in the bathing and swimming facilities with very few applications for industrial processes or space heating. It is estimated that geothermal capacity and annual utilization are 36.2MWt and 761TJ/year as compared to global capacity and annual utilization of 15,145MWt and 190,699 TJ/year. RETScreen software is a user's friendly tool for analyzing the technical and financial pre-feasibility of potential Renewable Energy (RE) projects that promotes the use of RE applications through the capacity building of planners, decision-makers and industries for successful implementation of RE projects. Strong ties between Canada and Korean organizations such as Korean Solar Energy Society (KSES) and the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) exist for knowledge transfer about RETScreen. In this paper, an overview of RETScreen and its ground source heat pump (GSHP) model with a practical example of an existing project of a community hall in Canada are described to illustrate effectiveness of RETScreenin the implementation of RE technologies. The same community hall project is then evaluated hypothetically considering its location at Kangnyng, Korea. The main objective is to demonstrate how RETScreen GSHP model can also be utilized effectively for GSHP applications in Korea.

  • As the instability of international societies on the energy resources has increasingly been deepened due to excessive use of fossil fuels, the importance of energy saving and global environment protection has highlighted, So the interests in environment-friendly and stable new & renewable energy have been dramatically increased. The studies on reconstructing the old-fashioned towns economically, socially and physically have been also significantly increased. In this urban regeneration, renewable-energy using systems were aggressively applied to overcome the energy and environmental problems of the existing towns. There have been many of studies on the compound applications of the renewable-energy using systems in the advanced countries while they are insufficient in Korea. As a preliminary study of urban renewable-energy using system development, this paper surveyed the foreign cases applied to key technologies such as geothermal energy, hydrogen fuel cell and bioenergy among the renewable-energies in urban built environment.

  • Most of the world's energy demand is met by fossil fuels, mainly petroleum and natural gas. Even though their production is not keeping up with the demand, there are many options before us-solar energy in its direct and indirect forms, nuclear breeders, thermonuclear power, geothermal energy, synthetic fluid fuels, and hydrogen as energy carrier to complement the nonfossil energy sources. But, before these energy alternatives can be utilized, in most cases, it is necessary to conduct extensive research and development work. In order to solve global energy and environmental issues, it is very important to develop and install energy supply systems which utilizes natural energy. The installation of these systems brings the following merits from the viewpoints of energy saving or environmental protection-(a) the positive use of natural energy reduces fossil fuel consumption; and (b) it also prevents environmental degradation. In this paper, the types of natural energy considered is confined to the solar, wind, hydraulic, geothermal and ocean-wave energy. And, the objective of the paper is to describe the state of the art of natural energy and future utilization prospect of them.

  • Desalination has the advantage of being easy to supply water resources. However most desalination devices are developed mainly for large plants and it is not common to use desalination system for a small fishing ship. More than 50% of the input fuel energy of the small shipbuilding's engine is wasted without reused in a ship, and it is necessary to improving the fuel efficiency of the small fishing ship. In this study, a desalination device using waste heat from engine of the ships was developed. As results, it was found that if the condensing chamber uses a fan to circulate the water vapor, the freshwater production was up to 40.0% higher, and the freshwater production efficiency was up to 30.1% increased when the fan was operated.

  • 유한요소법을 이용한 3차원 모델링은 모형에 대한 기하학적 유연성에도 불구하고 대형 연립방정식에 대한 계산이 필요하여 실용성에는 많은 제약이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 최근 컴퓨터와 수치해석기술을 바탕으로 직접해법과 반복해법을 선택적으로 사용한 효율적인 유한요소 3차원 모델링을 구현하였다. 직접해법인 PARDISO는 멀티코어 계산환경에서 병렬 연산을 이용하여 계산속도를 현저히 감소시킬 수 있었고 특히 단딜 주파수 다중 송신의 계산에서 최대의 계산효율을 보였다. 소규모 메모리 환경에서는 BiCGSTAB(1)이 다른 반복해법들에 비해 빠르고 안정적으로 수치해를 계산하였다. 효율적인 3차원 모델링은 주어진 문제와 상황에 적합한 해법을 선택적으로 사용함으로써 가능하다. 모델링에는 다양한 형태의 인공송신원이 고려되어 있으며 향후 3차원 역산의 효율적인 엔진으로 활용할 수 있다.

  • 지열류량은 지열자원 개발 시 지열 이상대를 찾는데 있어서 중요한 자료로 사용된다. 우리나라의 지체구조별 지열류량 평균은 경기육괴 66 $mW/m^2$, 옥천습곡대 65 $mW/m^2$, 영남육괴 60 $mW/m^2$, 경상분지 72 $mW/m^2$, 연일분지 75 $mW/m^2$이다. 이러한 대륙 내의 지표 지열류량은 상부 지각내의 방사성 동위원소 붕괴에 의한 열생산율(${\sim}40%$)과 하부지각 및 상부맨틀에서부터 전도되어 올라온 지열류량(${\sim}60%$)으로 설명할 수 있다. 따라서 지열류량의 결정에 있어서 열생산율의 정보는 중요한 부분을 차지한다. 열생산율은 지각 내에 존재하는 주요 방사성 동위 원소인 U, Th, K의 붕괴열에 의한 것이며, 열생산율의 측정은 gamma-ray log 자료를 이용하는 방법과 화학분석을 통한 방법이 있다. 이 연구에서는 두 가지 방법을 이용하여 총 123개(화강암 86개, 편마암 37개) 지점에서의 열생산율을 산출하였다. 화강암의 열생산율 평균은 2.15 ${\mu}W/m^3$이며, 편마암의 열생산율 평균은 2.22 ${\mu}W/m^3$로 나타났다. 지체구조별 열생산율의 평균은 경기육괴 2.52 ${\mu}W/m^3$, 옥천습곡대 2.16 ${\mu}W/m^3$, 영남육괴 2.35 ${\mu}W/m^3$, 경상분지 2.01 ${\mu}W/m^3$로 나타났다. 지체 구조별 열생산율과 지열류량의 상관성 분석에서 우리나라의 경우 지열류량이 높은 지역에서 열생산율이 낮은 경향을 보인다. 따라서 열생산율이 지표 지열류량을 결정하는데 있어서 가장 중요한 요소가 아님을 확인할 수 있다.

  • 정적효과가 포함된 MT 자료를 효율적으로 역산하기 위해 새로운 근사 감도(sensitivity)를 제시하였다. 근사 감도를 이용하여 감도 행렬을 구하는데 필요한 막대한 계산 시간을 합리적인 수준으로 줄이면서 정확한 감도를 이용한 경우와 비슷한 수준의 역산 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이 연구에서 제시한 근사 감도 외에 초기 균질 모형에 대한 감도, Broyden 법을 이용하여 업데이트한 감도, 정확한 해에 의존한 감도 등을 여러 가지 조합으로 3차원 역산을 수행할 수 있는 효율적인 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 인공합성자료 및 포항 지역에서 획득한 현장 자료에 대하여 3차원 역산한 결과, 네가지 감도의 조합으로 성공적인 역산이 가능함을 확인하였다. 이로부터 다양한 감도를 적용하여 역산을 수행하는 것이 보다 효율적이고 합리적인 역산 결과를 얻는데 도움이 됨을 알 수 있었다.
