Much advancement has been made in wind power due to modern technological developments. The wind energy technology is the world's fastest-growing energy option. More power can be generated from wind energy by the use of new design and techniques of wind energy machines. The geographical areas with suitable wind speed are more favorable and preferred for wind power deployment over other sources of energy generation. Today's wind turbines are mainly the horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). HAWTs are commercially available in various sizes starting from a few kilowatts to multi-megawatts and are suitable for almost all applications, including both onshore and offshore deployment. On the other hand, VAWTs finds their places in small and residential wind applications. The objective of the present work is to review the technological development, available sizes, efficiencies, structural types, and structural stability of VAWTs. Structural stability and efficiencies of the VAWTS are found to be dependent on the structural shape and size.

팬데믹으로 인한 재택근무와 가정용 전력수요의 증가는 전력수요 패턴에 상당한 변화를 불러왔다. 이로 인해 한전 PPA(전력구매계약) 및 자가용 태양광 발전량 파악이 어려워지고, 전력거래소의 전력수요예측과 계통운영에 어려움이 가중되고 있다. 전기에너지는 다른 에너지 자원과 달리 저장이 어려워, 생산된 에너지와 소비 사이의 균형을 유지하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 전기에너지의 부족이나 과잉 생산은 에너지 시스템에 큰 불안정성을 초래할 수 있으므로, 전력 수급을 효과적으로 관리하는 것이 필수적이다. 특히, 4차 산업혁명 시대에는 데이터의 중요성이 더욱 커져 대규모 화재나 정전과 같은 문제가 심각한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이에 따라, 전기에너지 분야에서 정확한 전력수요와 함께 재생에너지와 같은 발전량을 정확하게 예측하여 적절한 발전 관리를 하는 것이 중요하며, 이는 불필요한 전력 생산을 줄이고 에너지 자원을 효율적으로 활용하는데 도움이 된다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 산업통상자원부에서 제공한 169개 발전소의 데이터를 활용하여 최적의 집합전력자원을 구성하기 위해 (1) 재생에너지 발전량 예측제도와 목표, 그리고 실제 적용에 대해 검토하고, (2) 예측제도 정산을 고려한 집합구성 알고리즘을 개발한 후, (3) 분석 로직에 이를 적용하여 결과를 종합하고 해석하였다. 본 연구는 최적의 집합구성 알고리즘을 개발하여, 최대 정산금 대비 80.66%에 달하는 집합구성(Result_Number 546)을 도출하였으며, 발전소 집합을 구성하였을 때 정산금을 증가시키는 발전소(B1783, B1729, N6002, S5044, B1782, N6006)와 정산금을 감소시키는 발전소(S5034, S5023, S5031)를 확인하였다. 집합전력자원을 연구단위로 설정하여 최적의 집합구성 알고리즘을 개발한 최초의 연구로서 의의가 있으며, 본 연구결과의 활용으로 전력시스템의 안정성을 향상시키고 에너지 자원이 효율적으로 활용될 수 있기를 기대한다.

The development of bipolar plate having high efficiency and chemical properties has a major impact on fuel cell applications commercialization. Even though graphite bipolar plate has high electric conductivity and chemical resistance, it has demerits about mass production and brittle property for commercialization. Hence, metallic bipolar plate can be substitute for fuel cell bipolar plate. Although its inadequate corrosion behavior under PEMFC environment lead to a deterioration of membrane by dissolved metal ions, metallic bipolar plate for PEMFC is more suitable for automotive and residential power generation system because of its high mechanical strength, low gas permeability and applicability to mass production. Therefore, several types of coating has been applied to prevent corrosion and oxide film growth and to achieve more high durability. This work presents durability of coated metal bipolar plate for low temperature PEMFC which made for fuel cell vehicle. This results showed surface treatment increase long-term durability, even electric conductivity and corrosion resistance.

This paper presents the scheme for load model based dispersed generation system (DGs) installation and operation in unbalanced distribution systems. Groups of each individual load model consist of residential, industrial, commercial, official and agricultural load. The main idea of solving fuzzy nonlinear goal programming is to transform the original objective function and constraints into the equivalent multiple objective functions with fuzzy sets to evaluate their imprecise nature for the criterion of power loss minimization, the number or total capacity of DGs and the bus voltage deviation, and then solve the problem using genetic algorithms. The method proposed was applied to IEEE 13 bus test systems to demonstrate its effectiveness.

There are many attempts to use a fuel cell system as a residential power generation system. The purpose of this study is to investigate the optimal design of a water tank for a hot water system when the fuel cell co-generation system is combined with a domestic hot water supply system. The demands of hot water supply per month per home are investigated in Busan for a year. It showed somewhat large differences between the actual demand and the designed demand of hot water, but the actual capacity of hourly averaged hot water demands is analyzed as $60{\ell}/h$ in this study based on the actual demand. The experiments are performed in the various inlet and outlet locations of nozzles, and the hot water consumption rates. The experimental results are showed that the optimal capacity of the water tank is $200{\ell}$ when the thermal efficiency, the storing capacity of hot water and the space for installation are considered.

According to the increase of power demand and expansion of downtown, it is necessary to install transformers additionally in operating substations and construct substations in residential area. But the public complaint has been increased due to the transformer noise of the substation. KEPCO has used a vibration preventing pad, various soundproof walls and an encloser to transformers in outdoor substations, and a soundproof door, shutter and wind-path soundproof equipment in indoor substations to block the sound propagation from the transformers. But these noise reduction methods are not satisfied. It should be considered to reduce transformer noise itself. In this paper, we investigated tank noise reduction techniques to develope a low noise transformer. According to the mode analysis of transformer tank, we found out characteristics and locations of noise on the tank, and it's nature vibration was also analysed. On the basis of these analysis, reinforcement equipment was installed around transformer tank, and ellipse shape tank was changed to round shape tank. The effect of noise reduction was evaluated using noise generation source.

In third world countries like Pakistan, the production of electricity has been quickly reduced in past years due to rely on the fossil fuel. According to a survey conducted in 2017, the overall electrical energy capacity was 22,797MW, since the electrical grids have gone too old, therefore the efficiency of grids, goes down to nearly 17000MW. Significant addition of fossil fuel, hydro and nuclear is 64.2%, 29% and 5.8% respectively in the total electricity production in Pakistan. In 2018, the demand crossed 20,223MW, compared to peak generation of 15,400 to 15,700MW as by the Ministry of Water and Power. Country faces a deficit of almost 4000MW to 5000MW for the duration of 2019 hot summer term. Focus on one aspect considering Demand Side Management (DSM) cannot oversea the reduction of gap between power demand and customer supply, which eventually leads to the issue of load shedding. Hence, a scheduling scheme is proposed in this paper called RPSMDSM that is based on selection of those appliances that need to be only Turned-On, on priority during peak hours consuming minimum energy. The Home Energy Management (HEM) system is integrated between consumer and utility and bidirectional flow is presented in the scheme. During peak hours of electricity, the RPSMDSM is capable to persuade less power consumption and accomplish productivity in load management. Simulations show that RPSMDSM scheme helps in scheduling the electricity loads from peak price to off-peak price hours. As a result, minimization in electricity cost as well as (Peak-to-Average Ratio) PAR are accomplished with sensible waiting time.

In recent years, Ulaanbaatar, a capital of Mongolia has witnessed major problem that air quality reaches hazardous level during the winter season. Coal combustion for heating of every house in "Ger" district is main reason. One way to reduce the air pollution is mass usage of electric heater. However, there are several difficulties such as overload and degradation of transformers and other equipment used in distribution and transmission systems as well as power shortage occurrence in evening peak period due to residential consumption. This study aims to contribute for solving the air pollution and power shortage problem in Mongolia. One possible solution could be distributed generation (DG) with photovoltaic (PV) penetration. In this study, PV with energy storage (ES) hybrid system to reduce peak load is analyzed. We proposed the suitable structure of PV-ES hybrid for Mongolian household, and suggested several operation scenarios. Optimal operation algorithm is carried out based on a comparison aspect from economical, grid impact and PV penetration possibility. The economic analyse shows annual income of 520USD, and has a payback period of 8 years for selected scenario. The proposed PV-ES system structure is verified by experimentation set on the building rooftop in city center. The suggested scenario is planned to apply for system in further research.
