A photovoltaic/thermal(PVT)solar system is the solar technology that allows for simultaneous conversion of solar energy into both electricity and heat. This paper compared the performance of PVT system with a conventional PV module and solar collector and analyzed electrical and thermal efficiency of PVT system in terms of solar irradiance and inlet temperature of the working fluid. Based on the experimental data, thermal and electrical efficiencies of the glazed PVT system were 57.9% and 14.27% under zero reduced temperature condition which were lower by 13.6% than the solar thermal absorber plate and by 0.08% than the PV module respectively. For the unglazed PVT system, it had lower thermal efficiency than the solar thermal absorber plate but higher electrical performance than the PV module due to the cooling effect by the working fluid. However, total efficiency of the glazed PVT system was 72.2% which was higher than combined efficiencies of the solar collector and PV module. Besides, total efficiency of the PVT system would be much higher if calculated based on unit area.

An energy generating greenhouse based on fluoropolymer envelope and fresnel lens is proposed. The outstanding properties of the fluoropolymer films make them very suitable for large scale solar applications. Extremely high optical transmission over the whole solar spectrum, combined with mechanical strength, and durability allows us to design a highly optimized greenhouses for both plant growing and energy generation. Systems such as photovoltaic triple junction cells are especially attractive since they have up to 35% efficiency with much less cell material when the sun beam is focused with concentrators such as fresnel lenses. Cooling such devices will enhance the efficiency and provide useful thermal energy that could be further utilized for various applications depending on the local demands. This article introduces the basic ideas and principles of the energy generating greenhouses as a first step towards the actual deployment of such systems under Korean environment.

The effect of the process parameters on the stable lifetime in rapid thermal firing(RTF) was investigated in order to optimize the process for the Cz-silicon. The process temperature was varied between $700^{\circ}C\;and\;950^{\circ}C$ while the process time was chosen 1 s and 10 s. At below $850^{\circ}C$ the stable lifetime for 10 s is higher than that for 1 s and increases with increasing by the process temperature. However, at over $850^{\circ}C$ the improved stable lifetime is not dependent on the process time and temperature. On the other hand, two high temperature processes in solar cell fabrics are combined with the optimized process and the non-optimized process. The last process determines the stable lifetime. Also, the degraded stable lifetime could be increased by processing in optimized process. The decreased lifetime can increase using the optimized oxidation process, which is a final process in solar cells. Finally, the optimized and non-optimized processes are applied solar cells.

The experimental study was conducted to optimize the system dissipating properly heat from the in-situ solar panel installed on the roof. For this purpose, six 12-Watt panels, which were consisted of the different design conditions such as containing phase change material(PCM), changing the array of the aluminum fin and honeycomb at the back of the panel, were tested. PCM, which had $44^{\circ}C$ melting point, was chosen in this study. In order to enhance absorbing and expelling heatin PCM, profiled aluminum fin was placed either inward oroutward from the panel. Furthermore, Aluminum honeycomb is imbedded in the back container to find if it would improve the thermal conductivity of PCM. During the experiment, there were ranged to $26^{\circ}C\sim32^{\circ}C$ for outdoor temperature and $700W/m^2\sim1000W/m^2$ for irradiance. As a result, the solar panel, combined with honeycomb and outward fins with PCM instead of placing the fins inward, is showing the best performance in terms of controling panel temperature and its efficiency.

본 연구는 산업단지 내 Gas Combined Cycle CHP와 연계 가능한 신재생에너지원을 조합하여 최적의 설비용량을 산정하고자 하였다. 특히 2013~2016년도 에너지사용계획 협의 대상 산업단지 중 집단에너지 공급대상 지역지정 연료사용량 요건은 연간 3.8만 TOE로 미달되지만, 열밀도가 $92.6Gcal/km^2{\cdot}h$로 높은 세종첨단일반산업단지를 연구 대상으로 하였다. 그리고 신재생에너지 Hybrid System 경제성 분석 프로그램인 HOMER Pro를 이용하여 연료전지와 태양광발전을 연계한 FC-PV Hybrid CHP System의 최적화 운영 모델에 대해 분석하였다. 또 CHP의 주 공급 에너지원인 열에너지에 있어, 열수요량 뿐만 아니라 우점 업종에 대한 열수요 패턴을 분석하여 연구의 신뢰도를 높이고자 하였으며, 경제성 분석을 추가하여 상대적 편익을 비교하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 신규 조성 중인 세종첨단일반산업단지의 전체 간접열 수요는 연간 378,282 Gcal이며, 이중 제지업종이 연간 293,754 Gcal인 약 77.7%를 우점하고 있었다. 산업단지 전체 간접열 수요에 대해 단일 Combined Cycle CHP의 최적 설비용량은 30,000 kW로, 이때 열생산은 CHP가 275,707 Gcal, 72.8 %를 분담하고, 첨두부하보일러 PLB가 103,240 Gcal, 27.2 %를 분담하는 것으로 분석되었다. 그리고 CHP와 연료전지, 태양광 조합에서는 최적 설비용량이 각 30,000 kW, 5,000 kW, 1,980 kW이며, 이때 열생산은 Combined Cycle CHP가 275,940 Gcal, 72.8%, 연료전지가 12,390 Gcal, 3.3%, PLB가 90,620 Gcal, 23.9%를 분담하였다. 여기서 CHP 용량이 감소하지 않은 것은, CHP 용량 감소에 따른 부족한 열 생산량에 대해 PLB의 과다한 운전이 요구되는 경제적이지 못한 대안이 도출되었기 때문이었다. 한편 우점 업종인 제지업종의 간접열 수요에 대해서는 Combined Cycle CHP, 연료전지, 태양광 조합의 최적 설비용량은 25,000 kW, 5,000 kW, 2,000 kW로, 이때 열생산은 CHP 225,053 Gcal, 76.5%, 연료전지 11,215 Gcal, 3.8%, PLB가 58,012 Gcal, 19.7%를 분담하는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나, 현행 전력시장 및 가스시장에서의 경제성 분석결과는 모두 투자비 회수가 불가능한 것으로 확인 되었다. 다만, 우점 업종인 제지 업종만을 대상으로 CHP와 연료전지, 태양광을 조합한 CHP Hybrid System이 단일 CHP System에 대해 연간 약 93억원의 경영여건을 개선시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A microgrid can play a significant role for enlargement of renewable energy sources and emission reduction because it is a network of small, distributed electrical power generators operated as a collective unit. In this paper, an application of optimization method to economical operation of a microgrid is studied. The microgrid to be studied here is composed of distributed generation system(DGS), battery systems and loads. The distributed generation systems include combined heat and power(CHP) and small generators such as diesel generators and the renewable energy generators such as photovoltaic(PV) systems, wind power systems. Both of thermal loads and electrical loads are included here as loads. Also the emissions trading scheme to be applied in near future, the cost of unit start-up and the operational characteristics of battery systems are considered as well as the probabilistic characteristics of the renewable energy generation and load. A mathematical equation for optimal operation of this system is modeled based on the mixed integer programming. It is shown that this optimization methodology can be effectively used for economical operation of a microgrid by the case studies.

For Indonesia, sustainable energy supply is an important factor to preserve the stable economic growth. One important strategy is development of renewable energy, which has not been fully exploited yet. The paper examines the potency of renewable energy in Indonesia. Currently, biomass composes 23% of total primary energy supply, while geothermal and hydropower has a combined share of 3%. But according to the overall potency of renewable energy, hydropower is found to have the highest available resource of 76 GW, followed by biomass and geothermal by 49.81 GW and 28.53 GW, respectively. Although the solar radiation is only at modest level ($4.80kWh/m^2/day$), the tropical all year sunlight can boost the competitiveness of solar photovoltaic and thermal application. As for wind energy, the average speed of 3-6 m/s requires the development of low speed wind turbine. The examination of electricity and petroleum product prices through international comparison for non-OECD countries shows fifth lowest price level for both of petroleum products and electricity for industrial use. As for household electricity price, Indonesia is placed the second among all the countries compared. The energy subsidy and price structure are examined in detail because it could be a source of hindrance to renewable energy promotion. The examination of renewable energy potency in this study could provide insights about recent development of renewable energy in Indonesia. As an outcome of policy examination, the price comparison analysis suggests Indonesia to reduce or even remove the energy subsidies in the long run. These findings can be utilized to formulate effective policies for renewable energy promotion.

Recently, finishing materials at spandrel area, a part of curtain-wall system, are gradually forced to improve thermal insulation performance in order to enhance the building energy efficiency. Also, Building Integrated Photovoltaics(BIPV) systems have been installed in the exterior side of the spandrel area, which is generally composed of windows. Those BIPVs aim to achieve high building energy efficiency and supply the electricity to building. However, if transparent BIPV module is combined with high insulated spandrel, it would reduce the PV efficiency for two major reasons. First, temperature in the air space, located between window layer and finishing layer of the spandrel area, can significantly increase by solar heat gain, because the space has a few air density relative to other spaces in building. Secondly, PV has a characteristics of decreased Voltage(Voc and Vmp) with the increased temperature on the PV cell. For these reasons, this research analyzed a direct interrelation between PV Cell temperature and electricity generation performance under different insulation conditions in the spandrel area. The different insulation conditions under consideration are 1) high insulated spandrel(HIS) 2) low insulated spandrel(LIS) 3) PV stand alone on the ground(SAG). As a result, in case of 1) HIS, PV temperature was increased and thus electricity generation efficiency was decreased more than other cases. To be specific, each cases' maximum temperature indicated that 1) HIS is $83.8^{\circ}C$, 2) LIS is $74.2^{\circ}C$, and 3) SAG is $66.3^{\circ}C$. Also, each cases yield electricity generation like that 1) HIS is 913.3kWh/kWp, 2) LIS is 942.8kWh/kWp, and 3) SAG is 981.3kWh/kWp. These result showed that it is needed for us to seek to the way how the PV Cell temperature would be decreased.
