This paper presents the temperature characteristics with the structure of 18 kV surge arresters for distribution system. Three types of polymer arrester were fabricated and a ceramic arrester was also prepared to investigate. Below $100^{\circ}C$, three types of polymeric arresters exhibited almost the same leakage current value, but above $100^{\circ}C$, the polymeric arresters whose module was injected into polymeric housing with the grease exhibited the highest leakage current. In contrary, the arresters being manufactured by directly injecting silicone rubber onto arrester module exhibited the lowest leakage current. The rapid rising of leakage current of the polymeric arresters with the grease at $120^{\circ}C$ was because of the deterioration of the insulation characteristics of the grease between the FRP module and the silicone housing. All polymeric arresters exhibited the same surface temperature characteristics but the ceramic arresters was slower than the polymer arrester in heat emission despite the lowest leakage current. It was thought that the air layer between ZnO varistor blocks and the ceramic housing prevented the heat emission.

In this paper, the thermal performance of a heat spreader module for CPV(Concentrating Photovoltaic) cooling is experimentally investigated. In order to evaluate the thermal performance of the heat spreader module which consists of a Metal PCB and an aluminum alloy heat spreader, experiments are conducted with varying the type of the metal PCB, the thickness of the heat spreader, the inclination angle, and the applied heat flux. To validate the experimental data, three dimensional numerical simulations are performed using the commercial simulation tool in the present work. The experimental results are compared with the corresponding numerical results and are in close agreement with the numerical results. From the experimental results, the temperature difference between the maximum temperature and the ambient temperature increases with decreasing the thickness of the heat spreader and with increasing the applied heat flux. Also, it is found that the inclination angle significantly affects the thermal performance of the heat spreader. the maximum temperature difference of the heat spreader with the horizontal orientation is much larger than that with the vertical orientation.

A bypass diode is connected in parallel to solar cells with opposite polarity. The advantage of using the bypass diode is circumvented a destructive efforts of hot-spot heating in the photovoltaic(PV) module. In addition, it is possible to reduce a energy loss under the partial shading on the PV module. This paper presents a characteristic of photovoltaic module under partial shading condition and with defective bypass diode by using the experimental data. The results of field testing for each photovoltaic modules, when photovoltaic system which is connected power grid is operating, the inner junction-box temperature of shading photovoltaic module is high $5^{\circ}C$ because of difference of flowing current through into bypass diode. And incase of not operating photovoltaic system, the inner junction-box temperature of module with defective bypass diode is greatly higher than partial shading PV module.

The excess heat that is generated from PV modules can be removed and converted into useful thermal energy. A photovoltaic-thermal(PVT) module is a combination of photovoltaic module with a solar thermal collector, forming one device that receives solar radiation and produces electricity and heat simultaneously. In general, two types of PVT can be classified: glass-covered PVT module, which produces high-temperature heat but has a slightly lower electrical yield, and uncovered PVT module, which produces relatively lower temperature heat but has a somewhat higher electrical performance. In this paper, the experimental performance of two types of the PVT combined module(water type), glazed(glass-covered) and unglazed, was analyzed. The electrical and thermal performance of the PVT combined modules were measured in outdoor conditions, and the results were compared.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this paper is to investigate the application of thermoelectric technology to concrete structures for harvesting solar energy that would otherwise be wasted. In various fields of research, thermoelectric technology using a thermoelectric module is being investigated for utilizing solar energy. METHODS: In our experiment, a halogen lamp was used to produce heat energy instead of the solar heat. A data logger was used to record the generated voltage over time from the thermoelectric module mounted on a concrete specimen. In order to increase the efficiency of energy harvesting, various factors such as color, architecture, and the ability to prevent heat absorption by the concrete surface were investigated for the placement of the thermoelectric module. RESULTS : The thermoelectric module produced a voltage using the temperature difference between the lower and upper sides of the module. When the concrete specimen was coated with an aluminum foil, a high electric power was measured. In addition, for the power generated at low temperatures, it was confirmed that the voltage was generated steadily. CONCLUSIONS: Thermoelectric technology for energy harvesting can be applied to concrete structures for generating electric power. The generated electricity can be used to power sensors used in structure monitoring in the future.

The heat transfer characteristics of a plasma display panel has been investigated for cooling an electronic module. Hence, a two dimensional $\kappa-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model was developed to predict the temperatures of the panel and module. The heat conduction was solve for the material region. To consider the mixed convection at the solid-fluid interfaces between the air and the panel and module, the energy equation was solved simultaneously. When the electronic module stands face to face with the panel, the temperatures of panel and module are lower than other arrangement due to the chimney effect. However the gap between the panel and module does not affect significantly the maximum temperature when the aspect ratio is less than 0.1. To maintain the maximum temperature of the module under a certain limit, the passage of air should be well designed by the optimal layout of electronic modules which have different heat emission.

This study was accomplished to get the foundation design data of VMD(Vacuum Membrane Distillation) system for Solar Thermal VMD plant. VMD experiment was designed to evaluate thermal performance of VMD using PVDF(polyvinylidene fluoride) hollow fiber hydrophobic membranes. The total membrane surface area in a VMD module is $5.3m^2$. Experimental equipments to evaluate VMD system consists of various parts such as VMD module, heat exchanger, heater, storage tank, pump, flow meter, micro filter. The experimental conditions to evaluate VMD module were salt concentration, temperature, flow rate of feed sea water. Salt concentration of feed water were used by aqueous NaCl solutions of 25g/l, 35g/l and 45g/l concentration. As a result, increase in permeate flux of VMD module is due to the increasing feed water temperature and feed water flow rate. Also, decrease in permeate flux of VMD module is due to increasing salinity of feed water. VMD module required about 590 kWh/day of heating energy to produce $1m^3/day$ of fresh water.

양의 열광학 계수를 갖는 실리카를 하부클래드 및 코아에 그리고 음의 열광학 계수를 갖는 폴리머를 상부클래드에 적용한 AWG(Arrayed Waveguide Grating) 파장분할 다중화 소자에 대하여 이차원 스칼라 유한차분법(Scalar Finite Difference Method; SFDM)으로 온도의존 특성을 분석한 결과, 클래드의 굴절률을 변화시키거나 실리카 코어 상부에 실리카 박막이 존재하는 구조에서 박막의 두께를 변화시켜 온도의존 특성을 조절할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 해석결과에 근거하여 폴리머 상부클래드가 적용된 AWG 소자를 제작하였으며 기존의 실리카 AWG 소자와 특성을 비교분석하였다. 폴리머 상부클래드의 도입에 의해 삽입손실 및 크로스톡은 큰 변화가 없었으나 중심파장의 온도의존성은 0.0130 nm/$^{\circ}C$에서 0.0028 nm/$^{\circ}C$ 수준으로 감소하였다.

본 논문에서는 소형 전자기기와 같은 발열부 온도 제어를 위해 압전 소자와 열전 소자를 이용하여 국소부 냉각 성능을 실험적으로 조사해 보았다. 실험은 열전 소자를 이용하여 실험 영역내에 냉각부를 형성하고, 압전 소자에 80Hz와 110Hz 의 인가주파수를 각각 적용하여, 압전 소자를 작동시켰을 때와 작동시키지 않았을 때 열전 소자에 의해 형성된 시험부의 냉각 영역에서 온도 분포를 측정하였다. 또한, 냉각 영역의 온도측정 결과를 토대로 압전 소자를 적용하였을 때와 적용하지 않았을 때 냉각 영역의 성능 계수를 계산하고, 가시화 장치를 구성한 후 시험부내에 냉각 영역의 열유동 현상도 확인해 보았다. 실험결과, 온도분포 측정 실험 결과와 성능 계수 계산 결과로 부터 압전 소자를 작동하지 않은 경우보다 압전 소자를 작동한 경우에서 냉각 성능이 개선되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.. 또한, 가시화 결과를 토대로 열전 소자에 의해 형성된 냉각 영역에 압전 소자를 작동시켰을 경우에 냉각 영역의 국소부에 압전 소자에 의한 상하 진동의 강제 대류 현상이 발생하면서 냉각영역 전체에 고르게 분포하는 유동을 형성하고 냉각 성능이 개선되는 원인을 확인할 수 있었다.
