Assessment of geothermal resources like other earth resources is a starting point for decision makers or stakeholders to set up basic plan on its development and R&D policies. In this context, there have been various works on world geothermal assessment, to report different estimates from each other. In this paper, we first introduce the definition of geothermal potential mainly adopted from the article by Muffler and Cataldi (1978) and then summarize the estimates made so far referring the work by Bertani (2003). An updated estimates by Stefansson (2005) are also reviewed in terms of identified resources separately for high-temperature resources for power generation and low-temperature ones for direct-use. Recent estimate of US geothermal resources by MIT (2006) using a volumetric method with extensively accumulated data base is discussed. Finally, we introduce the first geothermal assessment in Korea recently made and discuss its importance.

This paper describes the design and integration of the wind- fuel cell hybrid system. The hybrid system components included a wind turbine, an electrolyzer (for generation of H2), a PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell), storage system and BOP (Balance of Plant) system. The energy input is entirely provided by a wind turbine. A DC-DC converter controls the power input to the electrolyzer, which produces hydrogen and oxygen form water. The hydrogen used the fuel for the PEMFC. The hydrogen is compressed and stored in high pressure tank by hydrogen gas booster system.

When the wind speed is measured by the met-mast sensor it is distorted due to the shadow effect of tower. In this paper the tower shadow effect is analyzed by a computational fluid dynamics code. First three dimensional modeling and flow analysis of the met-mast system were performed. The results were compared with the available experimental wind-tunnel test data to confirm the validity of the meshes and turbulence model. Two-dimensional model was then developed based on the three-dimensional works and experimental data. 2D analysis for various Reynolds numbers and turbulence strengths were then performed to establish the tower shadow effect database, which can be utilized as correction factors for the measured wind energy.

본 연구에서는 전국을 대상으로 태양광에너지와 관련된 기상 및 지형 대리변수를 고려하여 태양광발전 시설에 대한 취약지역을 분석하였으며, GIS를 이용하여 공간분석을 통해 태양광발전 시설의 적정입지에 대한 평가용 지도를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 최종적으로 개발된 태양광발전 시설에 대한 취약지도에서는 '취약단계 5(매우 취약)' 지역과 '취약단계 1(매우좋음)' 지역은 나타나지 않았다. '취약단계 4(취약)' 지역은 전라남도가 가장 크게 나타났으며, '취약단계3(보통)' 지역은 광주광역시, 전라북도, 충청북도 및 강원도 등 다수의 행정구역에서 높은 것으로 나타났다. '취약단계 2(좋음)' 지역은 대구광역시, 울산광역시 및 인천광역시 등이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 현재 운영되고 있는 태양광발전소 30곳을 비교 검토한 결과, 대부분 취약단계 2 및 3단계 지역에 위치하며, 상대적으로 태양광에너지가 적합한 지역에 위치함을 나타냈다. 하지만 본 연구의 한계점인 태양광발전소의 제한적인 자료량으로 인해 본 연구결과의 정확성을 명확하게 평가하기는 어렵다. 그럼에도 불구하고 본 연구에서는 GIS 공간분석 기법을 이용하여 다양한 기상 및 지형요소들을 고려하여 전국을 대상으로 태양광발전시설에 대한 취약지도 평가를 시도하였으며, 국내 전 지역에 대한 자료를 제시함으로써 태양광발전과 관련된 부분에 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper analyses the environmental effect of 100kw PV system installed in Tibet using Life Cycle Assessment(LCA). Then, energy payback time(EPT) and life-cycle $CO_2$ emission rate are estimated based on life-cycle of the PV system. As a result of the estimation, 6 year of EPT and 20 g-C/kWh of $CO_2$ emission rate are obtained. In China, average $CO_2$ emission rate of fossil fuel power generation plant is 260 g-C/kWh. This shows that PV system would be very promising for global environmental issues. For advanced LCA, we need to collect detailed and various data about raw material of PV system.

Since the solar radiation is the main input for sizing any solar photovoltaic system, it will be necessary to understand and evaluate the solar radiation data. The works presented here are the analysis of solar radiation data for East Asia areas. The data, which consist of the global radiation on horizontal surface, were measured at 16 different stations over the South Korea and were estimated by using satellite at 12 different stations over the North Korea from 1982 to 2004. Also the data over the Japan have been collected for 30 years for the period from 1941 to 1970. The Result of the analysis shows that the annual-average daily global radiation on the horizontal surface is 3.55 kWh/$m^2$. We conclude, based on the analysis, that East Asia areas have sufficient solar energy resources for the photovoltaic power generation system.

최근 스마트팜 에너지 비용 중 35% 낸난방비 에너지 소비가 증가되어 에너지 소비 효율화가 요구되며, 전기료 현실화에 대한 우려로 신재생 에너지 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 신재생 에너지는 수력, 풍력, 태양광 등에 속하며, 이중 태양광 에너지는 전기에너지로 변환하는 발전기술로, 이 기술은 에너지원이 환경에 미치는 영향이 적고, 유지 보수가 간편하다는 특징을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 온실 축열조, 히트펌프 데이터 기반으로 축열조 영향을 많이 미치는 요소를 선정하고 축열조 공급 온도예측 모델을 개발하고자 한다. 시계열 데이터 분석 및 예측에 효과적인 LSTM(Long Short-Term Memory)과 다른 앙상블 학습 기법보다 뛰어난 XGBoost 모델을 이용하여 예측한다. 히트펌프 축열조 온도를 예측함으로써 에너지 소비를 최적화하여 시스템 운영을 최적화할 수 있다. 또한, 태양광 활용에 따른 냉난방비 절감 및 농가의 에너지 자립도 개선 등 스마트팜 에너지 통합 운영 시스템에 연계하고자 한다. 플랫폼을 통해 폐열 에너지의 공급을 관리하고 최대 난방부하 및 계절, 시간별 작물생장에 필요한 에너지값을 도출하여 이를 기반으로 최적 에너지 운용방안을 도출하고자 한다.

The increasing demand for energy in the near future has created strong motivation for environmentally clean alternative energy resources. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have opened up new ways of utilizing renewable energy sources. MFCs are devices that convert the chemical energy in the organic compounds to electrical energy through microbial catalysis at the anode under anaerobic conditions, and the reduction of a terminal electron acceptor, most preferentially oxygen, at the cathode. Due to the rapid advances in MFC-based technology over the last decade, the currently achievable MFC power production has increased by several orders of magnitude, and niche applications have been extended into a variety of areas. Newly emerging concepts with alternative materials for electrodes and catalysts as well as innovative designs have made MFCs promising technologies. Aerobic bacteria can also be used as cathode catalysts. This is an encouraging finding because not only biofouling on the cathode is unavoidable in the prolonged-run MFCs but also noble catalysts can be substituted with aerobic bacteria. This article discusses some of the recent advances in MFCs with an emphasis on the performance, materials, microbial community structures and applications beyond electricity generation.
