Through the coronavirus pandemic, research on the use and advancement of blockchain-based decentralized identity authentication (Decentralized ID) technology is being actively conducted in various fields, centered on the central government, local governments, and private businesses. In this paper, we introduce the results of development based on Hyperledger Fabric to change the existing central server-based identity authentication to a decentralized one. These development results can strengthen the security and transparency of identity authentication systems for commercial purposes and provide stable services for user ID issuance, inquiry, and disposal. In addition, the decentralized identity authentication system verified performance results of DID creation of 262,000 rps and DID inquiry of 1,850 rps, DID VP creation of 200 rps, and DID VP inquiry of 220 rps or less through public authentication.

RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standards) is an institutional device to promote use of renewable energy through market mechanism by making renewable energy to constitute a pre-announced portion of the electricity production. We measure economic impacts of the introduction of RPS to domestic electricity market at the levels of electricity market, individual industrial sectors and the economy as a whole. First, we examine the TREC(Tradable Renewable Energy Credits) market, where the credits in excess of the obligation of the renewable energy production are sold to those who have to meet the obligation through purchased credits. We then measure end-users' additional cost originating from the introduction of RPS and TREC in electricity production, and their impacts on price and supply in the retail electricity market. Next, using input-output analysis, we measure economic impacts of the changes in retail price and supply on individual industrial sectors and the economy as a whole. Among many others, we find small price effect and large GDP effect - sectoral electricity price rises at around 5%, sectoral price level rises by 0.258%, and sectoral GDP declines by 1.940% on average by the year 2011.

The Renewable Portfolio Standard(RPS) which is in operated by country for many years is eco-friendly energy business. Although a variety of institute are accessing the RPS, it consists of a centralized system. Also, it shows opacity of data access in user's point of view. And each institutes is possessing their own data collected by themselves. Therefore decentralization and integrated control is demanded. Also, when institutes are attacked, the interruption of RPS can be existed. For resolving this issue, this study proposes the RPS using blockchain. Using the consortium method of blockchain, every institutes has possessing same data inserting REC data in block data, it is resolvable that transparency and security issue as transaction through verification of certain block. Furthermore, in case of one institute is paused by external attack, the role can be replaced by other institutes. This study tried the processing of putting data through ethereum network, therefore it presents the possibility of introducing the blockchain method in RPS.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of pickled radishes (RP) containing gardenia fruits (RPG), beet (RPB), and spinach (RPS) juice. We have conducted the moisture, salinity, sweetness, pH, titable acidity, Hunter's color values, and mechanical characteristics with a sensory evaluation by elementary, middle, high and university students on the colored radish pickles. The moisture contents of RP, RPG, RPB and RPS are not significantly different. The salinity and pH of RP were significantly higher than that of RPG, RPB, RPS (p<0.05; p<0.01). The sugar contents of RPS are significantly higher than the of RP, RPG and RPB (p<0.001). The titrable acidity of RPB and RPS is significantly higher than that of the RP and RPG (p<0.001). The lightness (L) of RP, the redness (a) of RPB and the yellowness (b) of RPS are the highest in sample group. For changes in texture profile analysis, the hardness level of RPB is higher than that of RP, RPG and RPS (p<0.01), but the chewiness of RPG is higher than those of RP, RPB and RPS (p<0.001). In the sensory evaluation, RPB scores the highest in color, taste, and overall acceptability, whereas RPS scores the lowest in color and overall acceptability. Based on the above results, we expect that radish pickles with beet juice have good characteristics and acceptances within the school food services.

Cloud computing helps big data processing to make various information using IT resources. The government has to start the RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard) and induce the production of electricity using renewable energy equipment. And the government manages system to gather big data that is distributed geographically. The companies can purchase the REC(Renewable Energy Certificate) to other electricity generation companies to fill shortage among their duty from the system. Because of the RPS use voluntary competitive market in REC trade and the prices have the large variation, RPS is necessary to predict the equitable REC price using RPS big data. This paper proposed REC price prediction method base on fuzzy logic using the price trend and trading condition infra in REC market, that is modeled in cloud computing environment. Cloud computing helps to analyze correlation and variables that act on REC price within RPS big data and the analysis can be predict REC price by simulation. Fuzzy logic presents balanced REC average trading prices using the trading quantity and price. The model presents REC average trading price using the trading quantity and price and the method helps induce well-converged price in the long run in cloud computing environment.

Red pepper seed (RPS) is commonly removed during the production of red pepper powder, which is contains large amounts of dietary fibers and is abundant in nutrients, readily available. In this study, we determined the effects of adding RPS powder on the physicochemical properties of emulsified meat products. Meat emulsion samples were prepared with pork hind leg meat (60%) and back fat (20%), iced water (20%), various additives, and RPS powder at different concentrations [0% (control), 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%]. For the physicochemical properties, moisture and fat content, pH value, color, emulsion stability, cooking yield, appearance viscosity, and textural properties were examined. Addition of RPS induced significantly higher values in moisture content, pH, cooking yield, and a* values of the meat emulsion samples, regardless of the amount added. However, lower values were obtained for emulsion stability, cooking yield, and viscosity in samples with RPS powder at 3% or 4% among all groups. In general, addition of RPS powder at 1% and 2% led to the greatest values in viscosity of the meat emulsion samples. Higher values (p<0.05) in hardness and springiness were observed in samples with RPS powder at 4% and 3%, respectively. For gumminess, chewiness, and cohesiveness, the addition of RPS powder at 1%, 2%, and 3% induced the highest values (p<0.05) in the meat emulsion samples. These results showed that addition of RPS powder at optimum levels (2%) could be utilized to improve quality properties of emulsified meat products as a non-meat ingredient.

Ministry of Commerce, Industry [MOCIE] has taken it into consideration to introduce a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) that is a purchase obligation program as an alternative plan to the FIT. We conducted a survey of renewable energy companies and experts to ask their opinions about renewable energy policy, the introduction of the RPS, and the scheme for aid of North Korea with renewable energy. Korean renewable energy companies show an impartial opinion about a FIT and a RPS system overall, although they tend to have distinctive opinions by technology each other. With respect to eligible resources for a RPS, the industries want to extend the scope of it as broad as possible. In addition, experts prefer the multi-tiered and energy production based RPS to the sing1e-tiered and installed capacity based RPS. We also conducted a surrey to find the best renewable energy sources. Wind, Geothermal, Solar-thermal, and Photovoltaic were selected to have the best potential capacities to support North Korea by renewable energy experts. However, these energy resources also have several problems to overcome in the aid of North Korea, and thus, the plans for solving them and for giving efficient support to North Korea in the area of Renewable Energy are discussed.

본 논문에서는 2012년 시행된 신재생에너지공급의무화제도(RPS)에 따른 민간발전사들의 RPS 의무이행 현황을 알아보고 신재생에너지 공급인증서의 발급량 부족 및 거래시장에서의 심한 가격변동을 발전사업자들의 RPS 이행시 장애요인으로 분석하였다. RPS시행 이전에 추진하여 최근 준공한 동두천복합발전소에 대한 RPS이행방안 구성결과 연평균 약 334억원의 의무이행비용이 산출되었으며, 해당비용을 당초 사업타당성 검토 기초자료에 반영한 결과 내부수익률이 계획대비 31.8% 저하됨을 알 수 있었다. 신재생에너지 의무공급량의 비율이 해마다 증가하여 2024년부터는 전년도 발전량의 10%를 신재생에너지로 공급해야 하는데 RPS 의무공급 대상자로의 편입 초기부터 10%의 의무공급량을 이행해야 하는 신규 발전소의 경우 의무이행비용 과다로 사업성은 더욱 낮아지므로 의무공급량의 비율을 기존의 12단계에서 17단계로 완화하는 방안을 제시하였다. 즉, 동두천복합발전소의 이행비용을 기준으로 최초 2%부터 매년 0.5%씩 점진적으로 10%까지 높였을 때 내부수익률은 6.23%로써 처음부터 10%의 비율로 공급할 경우 산출한 내부수익률 4.18%보다 약 49%의 사업성 향상 효과를 얻을 수 있어 제도개선이 민간발전사업 촉진에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

A private company's 1,000 MW coal-fired power plant will be the first coal-fired power plant that was included in the 5th 'Basic Plan on Electricity Demand and Supply' (2010). Now it is facing the task to abide by the RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard) policy after commercial operation. If they fail to supply the necessary REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) mandated by the RPS policy, they are subject to be fined by the government and forced to modify the cost function to reflect the burden. Eventually the company's coal-fired power plant will be forced to reduce generation to maximize profit because the amount of electricity generated by the power plant and the REC obligation is positively correlated. This paper analyzed the change of cost function of private coal-fired power plant according to the introduction of RPS policy from the viewpoint of private company, and finally proposed the optimal generation to maximize the profit of private coal-fired power plant under the current RPS policy.

Ram pressure stripping (RPS) which is known to be one of the key effects that can remove the interstellar gas in the dense environment, can be described as a simple momentum transfer relation (Gunn & Gott 1972). However, it has been suggested that the actual gas stripping process is likely more complicated than Gunn & Gott's prescription due to the complexity of gas physics such as compression, cooling and heating. By comparing the gas truncation radius predicted by theory with the stripping radius measured from the HI observation of Virgo cluster galaxies, we attempt to verify how well the RPS process can be understood by momentum transfer alone. Among the sample of galaxies undergoing active RPS, we generally find a good agreement between what is predicted and what is observed within the measurement uncertainties. However, those galaxies with the signs of other environmental effects than RPS such as tidal interaction, and/or the ones likely at relatively early or later stages of RPS show some offsets between the theory and the observation. These results imply that Gunn & Gott's formula works reasonably well in a broad sense when the RPS is a dominant process and the surrounding environment at the current location of the sample can be well defined. Otherwise, the impact of the second mechanism, as well as the (current and past) environment of the sample, should be more carefully reviewed to assess the impact of RPS on galaxy evolution.
