In this study, a geothermal power generation system using the Kalina cycle was investigated by the simulation method. The Kalina cycle system can be used for the utilization of a low-temperature heat sources such as geothermal and industrial waste heat that are not hot enough to produce steam. The sea/river water can be considered as a cooling media. A steady-state simulation model was developed to analyze and optimize its performance. The model contains a turbine, a pump, an expansion valve and heat exchangers. The turbine and pump were modelled by an isentropic efficiency, while a condenser, an evaporator and a regenerative heat exchanger were modeled by UA-LMTD method with a counter-flow assumption. The effect of the ammonia fraction at the separator inlet on the cycle performance is investigated in detail.

A detailed geothermal characteristics survey with numerical simulations of the heat transfer in a site for ground source heat pump system is necessary for deploying a shallow geothermal utilization system. Density, specific heat, thermal diffusivity, and thermal conductivity are measured on 91 core samples from a 300 m deep borehole in KIGAM(Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources). The heat flow is estimated from the thermal gradient and average thermal conductivity and the correlation between fracture system and hydraulic conductivity is analyzed. From the obtained ground information of the study site the performance of the ground heat pump system can be analyzed with some detailed numerical simulations for seasonal heat pump operation skill and optimal system design techniques.

Multiport power converters have recently become popular to researchers and engineers. However, more improvements are required in terms of their soft-switching operation, bidirectional operation, and integration. In this study, a bidirectional three-port three-switch DC-DC converter is proposed. The converter contains a low-current ripple port and ripple-free current port. Through the integrated structure, utilization of a coupled inductor, and a new switching strategy, the aforementioned specifications are achieved. A modified switching strategy is also utilized in the converter, which has resulted in the bidirectional operation of the converter between ports. Finally, a comprehensive analysis is presented, and the converter characteristics are validated by experimental results.

최근에 경기악화에 따른 석유수요 감소로 우리가 주로 수입하는 두바이유는 배럴당 56 달러선이지만, 유가가 배럴당 100~120 달러로 오를 경우, 원유 대체 및 신규 에너지원 확보를 위해 Bitumen, Oil Shale, 중질잔사유 등 고점도 액상연료를 이용하기 위한 기술개발이 활발히 진행될 것으로 예상된다. 그리고 이에 따라 연소효율이 떨어지는 고점도 저급연료를 이용하여 연소효율을 극대화시키기 위해 계면활성제를 이용하여 화학적으로 유화시키는 기술들이 개발되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 고점도 유체에 대해 계면활성제를 이용하지 않고 캐비테이션 방식을 이용하여 고점도 유체를 에멀젼화 하는 기술을 연구하였다. 에멀젼화 기술은 저급연료유에 물을 혼합하여 안정적으로 장기간 유수분리가 일어나지 않으며, 복합연료로서 반응로에서 연소시킴으로써 연소율을 개선시킬수 있는 기술인데, 발전소의 보일러, 선박, 소각로 등에 적용할 수 있으며 중질잔사유를 사용하는 가스화 발전에도 본 기술이 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

To obtain higher power efficiency of Residential Power Generation System(RPG), it is needed to operate system on optimized stoichiometric ratio of fuel and air. In this paper, optimizing stoichiometric ratio of fuel/air is conducted through systematic experiments and modeling. Based on fundamental principles and experimental data, constraints are chosen. Using these stoichiometric ratios as decision variables, maximum power efficiency of system could be found. As a result of research, power efficiency of RPG system is improved.

We consider the optimum air flow channel design for DMFC's in the present study. The effect of pressure drop across the inlet and outlet of a stack on the performance of a DMFC is the optimization of such geometric parameters is crucial to minimize the parasitic power usage by the auxiliary devices such as fuel pumps and blowers. In this paper, we present how the pressure drop control can optimize the driving point of a DMFC stack. Further, we show how the optimal fuel utilization ratio can be achieved, not degrading the performance of DMFC stacks. Overall, we discuss how the flow channel design affects the selection of balance of plant(BOP) components, the design of DMFC systems and the system efficiency.

Since gas turbine using biogas can reduce carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), the biogas gas turbine is becoming more attractive to renewable energy utilization business sector. Natural gas and $CO_2$ mixture was used to simulate the biogas fuel. At the experiments pressure losses, pattern factor, and emissions were measured. The results revealed that methane concentrations of the fuel mixture showed little effects on the combustor performance except emissions. As methane concentrations in fuel decreased, emissions measured at the exit of the combustor decreased.

According to the second plan of the Korean Government about technology development, utilization and popularization of new renewable energy, the continuous growth of distributed resources are expected. Various studies about impact of distributed resource on distribution system have been already accomplished. Rut there is a few paper about recloser and sectionalizer coordination and protection scheme in distribution system interconnected a number of distributed resources. In this paper, it is dealt with that recloser and sectionalizer coordination at the cases concerned with fault position. The problems of these cases are investigated through simulation.

A pilot scale circulating fluidized bed for refuse derived fuel is developed and constructed in order to demonstrate efficient and safe utilization of waste fuel. The capacity of the facility is 8 steam tons per hour with the steam quality of $450^{\circ}C$ and 38atm. The quantity and the quality of the produced steam is sufficient to produce 1MWe power capacity. The test operation proved the high combustion efficiency of 99% and up. The emissions of NOx, SOx in flue gas are below 100, 60ppm respectively with out any emission control. HCl emissions were above 400ppm at the combustor exit but reduced below 10ppm after scrubber.
