PURPOSES : This study is to suggest future development direction and application of environmental noise barriers as multi-functional soundproof wall. METHODS : Based on the literature review, case study and patent search, research and patent trend were investigated. Patent search was conducted by Patent searching tools, 'Focust'. RESULTS : As environmental noise barriers, Vegetative soundproof wall, photovoltaic soundproof wall, and air-pollution reduction soundproof wall were investigated. First of all, In Korea, Vegetative soundproof wall is being developed mostly as soundproof wall that has vegetation foundation inside, to meet the domestic condition with 23 patent applications. Second, Photovoltaic soundproof wall is being developed mainly with efficiency of photovoltaic system rather than soundproofing. And it is limited to one generation solar cell technology, although Solar cell technology is developing at a rapid pace. On the other hand, for reducing air-pollutant by soundproof wall, a variety of methods are being suggested (filtration, adsorption, and photocatalytic oxidation), and one of them, adsorption are applied for developing air pollution reduction soundproof wall in Korea. CONCLUSIONS: The above soundproof wall is not simple structure, but road facility applied fusion technique. Therefore, as one system, it is difficult to harmonize due to various considerations for design factor. However, if it's possible that a benefits of one system apply to another system, Synergy effect may be created. In the foreseeable future, soundproof wall may be considered as a road system using fusion technique rather than just functional facility. Therefore, substantial studies for applying multi-functional soundproof wall on the road are needed for the future.

An improved MPPT converter with current compensation method for small-scaled PV-applications is presented in this paper. The proposed method implements maximum power point tracking (MPPT) by variable reference current which is continuously changed during one sampling period. Therefore, the power transferred to the load is increased above $9\%$ by the proposed MPPT converter with current compensation method. As a result, the utilization efficiency of Photovoltaic (PV)-panel can be increased. In addition, as it doesn't use digital signal processor (DSP), this MPPT method has the merits of both a cost efficiency and a simple control circuit design. Therefore, it is considered that the proposed MPPT method is proper to low power, low cost PV-applications. The concept and control principles of the proposed MPPT method are explained in detail and its validity of the proposed method is verified through several simulated results.

Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is a photovoltaic (PV) technology which can be incorporated into the roofs walls of both commercial and domestic buildings to provide a source of electricity. BIPV systems can operate as a multi-functional building components, which generates electricity and serves as part of building envelope. It can be regarded as a new architectural elements, adding to the building's aesthetics. Applying PV modules on roof has an advantage over wall applications as they seem to receive more solar radiation on PV modules. There are various types of PV applications on building roofs: attached, on-top and integrated. This paper describes the classification and characteristics of PV applications on roofs.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a unique non-destructive technique employed to analyze various devices in different energy storage applications. It characterizes materials and interfaces for their properties in heterogeneous systems employing equivalent circuits as models. So far, it has been used to analyze the performance of various photovoltaic cells, fuel cells, batteries, and other energy storage devices, through equivalent circuit designing. This review highlights the diverse applications of EIS in fuel cells and specific parameters affecting its performance. A particular emphasis has been laid on the challenges faced by this technique and their possible solutions.

최근 환경문제 해결 및 미래 성장동력 확보를 위해 전 산업 분야에 걸쳐 친환경 에너지의 활용이 지속적으로 이루어 지고 있다. 특히 설치장소의 제약이 없고 무한한 태양에너지를 활용한 태양광발전 산업에 관심이 집중되고 있으며, 건설산업에서도 건물통합형 태양광발전에 대한 연구와 사례적용이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 최근 건축물의 초고층화는 시공단계에서의 에너지 소비를 크게 증가시키며, 이에 따라 시공단계에서의 친환경에너지 활용 방안에 관한 연구가 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초고층 거푸집 공사 전력공급을 위한 PV시스템(PVFS)을 제안하고 설계 및 적용타당성 분석을 수행함으로써, 건물시공 단계에서의 친환경 에너지 활용에 대한 가능성을 모색하였다. 사례연구를 통해 설계된 PVFS에 대한 설치면적 위치 확보 및 거푸집 허용하중 초과 여부, 공정영향, 경제성 검토를 수행하였으며, 그 결과 기술발전을 통한 경제성 문제가 해결된다면 가까운 미래에 현장 적용 가능성이 충분할 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구결과는 시공현장에서의 친환경 에너지 적용 가능성을 제시함으로써 친환경에너지 접목을 통한 새로운 건축환경 구축에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

Organic materials are suitable for use in photoelectric conversion devices. Thus, Organic semiconductors are promising materials for photovoltaic devices and other optoelectronic applications such as light emitting diodes(LED). The organic solar cell seems to be the usefulness in comparison with the inorganic solar cell in terms of workability, ease of processing, low cost, flexibility and area expansion. (omitted)

An interleaved operation of isolated boost converter system has become a very attractive solution in order to convert from low input voltage (30 ~ 50V) of distributed power sources such as photovoltaic and fuel cells to high output voltage (380V/760V) required in grid-connected power conversion applications. In this paper, we have proposed zero voltage transition(ZVT) interleaved boost converter using a single resonant inductor.

They include solar thermal and electric devices such as solar crop dryers, solar water pumps, solar greenhouse heating, ventilation for livestock, solar aeration pumps, solar electricity, and many more. Purpose: This review provides the current status of research and development in the field as well as the solar energy systems that are currently in use in the agriculture sector across the globe. Review: Solar energy is the largest and cheapest energy resource on earth; one hour of solar radiation exceeds the complete global energy consumption in one year. The potential annual total solar radiation in South Korea is $3.58-5.4 kWh/m^2/day$. The available solar energy is sufficient for agricultural applications across the entire country. Conclusion: The scope of solar energy utilization in agricultural machinery engineering in South Korea and in other countries is promising.
