Green water load is an important parameter to be considered in designing a modern ship or offshore structures like FPSO and FSRU. In this research, a numerical simulation method for green water phenomenon is introduced. The Navier-Stokes equations and the continuity equation are used as governing equations. The equations are calculated using Finite Difference Method(FDM) in rectangular staggered grid system. To increase the numerical accuracy near the body, the Cartesian cut cell method is employed. The nonlinear free-surface during green water incident is defined by Marker-density method. The green waters on a box in regular waves are simulated. The simulation results are compared with other experimental and computational results for verification. To check the applicability to moving ship, the green water of the ship which is towed by uniform force in regular wave, is simulated. The ship is set free to heave and to surge.

Nepal has huge potential of hydro and other renewable energy resources including solar energy. However, only 70% of the total population have access to electricity despite the long history of hydropower development in the country. Still more than 37% population in rural areas and around 73% population in Karnali Province, one of the least developed provinces, are living without access to electricity despite taking several initiatives and implementing various policies by government supporting electrification in off-grid rural areas. Government together with donors and private sector has extensively been promoting the off-grid solar photovoltaic (PV) echnology in un-electrified areas to increase electricity access. So far, more than 900,000 households in rural areas of Nepal are getting electricity from stand-alone solar PV systems. However, there are many challenges including financial, technical, institutional, and governance barriers in Nepal. This study based on extensive review of literatures and author's own long working experiences in renewable energy sector in Nepal, shares the best practices and lessons of off-grid solar PV for increasing access to electricity in rural areas of Nepal. This study suggests that flexible financial instruments, financial innovations, bundling of PV systems for concentrating energy loads, adopting standards process, local capacity building, and combination of technology, financing and institutional aspects are a key for enhancing effectiveness of solar PV technology in rural areas of Nepal.

본 연구는 격자기반 운동파 강우유출모형 KIMSTORM(grid-based KIneMatic wave STOrm Runoff Model)의 기능을 개선하고 적용성을 평가하는 것이다. KIMSTORM은 김성준(1998)이 개발한 분포형 강우유출모형으로 포화상태의 지표흐름 및 토양수분상태의 시공간적인 분포를 파악할 수 있다. UNIX C++ 언어로 개발되었으며, GRASS 형태의 ASCII Grid를 입출력하도록 구성되어 있는 모형으로 UNIX 운영체제에서 구동이 가능하다. 그러나 UNIX와 GRASS는 최근에 많이 이용되지 않는 추세로 KIMSTORM 모형을 이용한 홍수유출해석이 적극적으로 활용되는데 주요 제약사항이 되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 KIMSTORM을 윈도우즈 환경에서 운영될 수 있도록 FORTRAN 90을 이용하여 재개발하였으며 주요개선 사항으로, ESRI ASCII Grid 형태의 GIS(geographic information system) 자료 입력, 물리적 침투모의 방법인 GAML (Green-Ampt and Mein- Larson) 적용, 공간강우 입력가능, 정렬 알고리즘을 이용한 계산속도의 개선, 모형 자료입력 등 전처리 기능개선, 계산결과의 자동평가 및 분포도출력 등 후처리 방식개선으로 요약할 수 있다. 개선된 모형 GAML에 의한 침투방법을 적용하여, 남강댐유역($2,293\;km^2$)의 6개 강우사상을 대상으로 결정계수, Nash & Sutcliffe 모형효율계수, 용적편차, 첨두유량의 상대오차, 첨두시간의 절대오차를 이용하여 적용성을 평가하였으며, 민감도분석결과 초기토양수분조건과 하천조도계수가 가장 큰 민감도를 나타내었다.

차세대 전력기술로 불리는 스마트그리드는 ICT와의 융합을 통해 전력을 효율적으로 운용함으로써, 에너지 소비를 줄여 탄소배출량을 줄이는 핵심 솔루션이자 Green by ICT의 대표적인 응용으로서, 글로벌 금융위기와 자원 전쟁에 대한 각국의 대응전략으로 채택되고 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 전세계적인 관심과 의욕적인 노력에도 불구하고, 전력과 정보통신의 컨버전스를 위한 표준의 부재라는 문제에 직면해 있다. [1] 이를 해결하기 위해 미국의 NIST와 유럽의 CEN/CENELEC/ETSI는 경쟁적으로 표준 개발에 전력을 다하고 있으며, 국제표준화기구인 IEC와 ITU 역시 스마트그리드 표준화에 역량을 집중하고 있는 실정이다. 본 고에서는 지금까지의 국내외 스마트그리드 국제표준화 기구의 동향과 더불어 최근 정보통신 입장에서의 스마트그리드 표준화를 진행하고 있는 ITU-T Focus Group on Smart Grid의 표준화 추진 현황을 살펴본다. ITU-T Focus Group on Smart Grid는 특히 한국의 제안으로 설립되고, 지속적이고 적극적인 참여와 주도로 한국의 스마트그리드 표준화 역량이 극적으로 발휘되고 있는 국제표준화 위원회이다.

This paper proposes an active frequency with a positive feedback in the d-q frame anti-islanding method suitable for a robust phase-locked loop (PLL) algorithm using the FFT concept. In general, PLL algorithms for grid-connected PV PCS use d-q transformation and controllers to make zero an imaginary part of the transformed voltage vector. In a real grid system, the grid voltage is not ideal. It may be unbalanced, noisy and have many harmonics. For these reasons, the d-q transformed components do not have a pure DC component. The controller tuning of a PLL algorithm is difficult. The proposed PLL algorithm using the FFT concept can use the strong noise cancelation characteristics of a FFT algorithm without a PI controller. Therefore, the proposed PLL algorithm has no gain-tuning of a PI controller, and it is hardly influenced by voltage drops, phase step changes and harmonics. Islanding prediction is a necessary feature of inverter-based photovoltaic (PV) systems in order to meet the stringent standard requirements for interconnection with an electrical grid. Both passive and active anti-islanding methods exist. Typically, active methods modify a given parameter, which also affects the shape and quality of the grid injected current. In this paper, the active anti-islanding algorithm for a grid-connected PV PCS uses positive feedback control in the d-q frame. The proposed PLL and anti-islanding algorithm are implemented for a 250kW PV PCS. This system has four DC/DC converters each with a 25kW power rating. This is only one-third of the total system power. The experimental results show that the proposed PLL, anti-islanding method and topology demonstrate good performance in a 250kW PV PCS.

Developing the offshore wind farm is essential to meet the national target of the renewable energy and to achieve the green growth in Korea. In this context, KEPRI is now carrying the feasibility study for introducing the offshore wind fam in Korea. Accordingly, it is required to formulate an appropriate strategy, this paper mainly discuss, for this goal. First of all, several preliminary sites for the offshore wind farm are selected based on the evaluation criteria presented herein. In addition, the domestic sub-technological level of key technology sectors associated with the offshore wind power is analyzed. It includes the industries related to wind turbine, grid integration, structural design and construction. Integrating these results, we propose a strategy in order to successfully develop the first offshore wind farm more than 100-MW class in the south-western sea area of Korea.

In this paper, a thin-straight monopole antenna attached to a conducting box is analyzed using a moment method with the pocklington integral expression for the exact Green's function. A modeling of a conducting box is based on a Wire-Grid method for an efficient calculation procedure. A system of linear equation is obtained using the piecewise sinusoidal basis function. And a Junction basis function is enforcing to represent the physical current on the edge of the conducting box. Especially, the junction basis functions are overlapped for the current continuity preserving on the vertexes. Numerical results are obtained for the current distribution on the unified antenna/conducting box system, input impedance and radiation pattern. The results are compared with the known data.

To analyze hydrologic processes in a watershed requires both various geographical data and hydrological time series data. Recently, not only geographical data such as DEM(Digital Elevation Model) and hydrologic thematic map but also hydrological time series from numerical weather prediction and rainfall radar have been provided as grid data, and there are studies on hydrologic analysis using these grid data. In this study, GRM(Grid based Rainfall-runoff Model) which is physically-based distributed rainfall-runoff model has been developed to simulate short term rainfall-runoff process effectively using these grid data. Kinematic wave equation is used to simulate overland flow and channel flow, and Green-Ampt model is used to simulate infiltration process. Governing equation is discretized by finite volume method. TDMA(TriDiagonal Matrix Algorithm) is applied to solve systems of linear equations, and Newton-Raphson iteration method is applied to solve non-linear term. Developed model was applied to simplified hypothetical watersheds to examine model reasonability with the results from $Vflo^{TM}$. It was applied to Wicheon watershed for verification, and the applicability to real site was examined, and simulation results showed good agreement with measured hydrographs.
