High efficiency silicon solar cell requires the textured front surface to reduce reflectance and to improve the light trapping. In case of mono-crystalline silicon solar cell, wet etching with alkaline solution is widespread. However, the alkali texturing methods are ineffective in case of multi-crystalline silicon wafer due to grain boundary of random crystallographic orientation. The acid texturing method is generally used in multi-crystalline silicon wafer to reduce the surface reflectance. However the acid textured solar cell gives low short-circuit current due to high reflectivity while it improves the open-circuit voltage. To reduce the reflectivity of multi-crystalline silicon wafer, double texturing method with combination of acid and reactive ion etching is an attractive technical solution. In this paper, we have studied to optimize RIE experimental condition with change of RF power (100W, 150W, 200W, 250W, 300W). During experiment, the gas ratio of SF6 and O2 was fixed as 30:10.

Carbon coils could be synthesized using $C_2H_2/H_2$ as source gases and $SF_6$ as an incorporated additive gas under thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system. Prior to the carbon coils deposition reaction, two kinds of samples having different combination of Ni catalyst and substrate were employed, namely, a commercially-made $Al_2O_3$ ceramic boat with Ni powders and a commercially-made $Al_2O_3$ substrate with Ni layer. By using a commercially-made $Al_2O_3$ ceramic boat, the synthesis of carbon coils could be enhanced as much as 10 times higher than that of $Al_2O_3$ substrate. Furthermore, the dominant formation of the microsized carbon coils could be obtained by using $Al_2O_3$ ceramic boat. The surface roughness of the supporting substrate of $Al_2O_3$ ceramic boat was understood to be associated with the large scale synthesis of carbon coils as well as the dominant formation of the larger-sized, namely the microsized carbon coils.

This test was progressed in the test house of KICT as sectional research of Center for Sustainable Housing. It included a ventilation rate of hybrid ventilation equipment, temperature, and gas test using the SF-6. The purpose of this test is to demonstrate the performance of viovent by estimating an outdoor air flow rate through viovent which the flimmer filter is installed and decide the leakage after operating the constant airflow fan within a house. First, the outdoor airflow rate through viovent measured $130\;m^3/h$ more than a legal required ventilation rate, $104\;m^3/h$. And then it sufficiently satisfy a legal standard, 0.7 air change/h. Secondly, the result of this test exposes that the leakage in the residence is about $20{\sim}25%$. Especially, the outdoor air flowing through the gate occupies 50% of the total leakage.

Carbon nanofilaments (CNFs) could be synthesized using $C_2H_2/H_2$ as source gases and $SF_6$ as an incorporated additive gas under thermal chemical vapor deposition system. Ni powders were used as the catalyst for the formation of the CNFs. During the initial deposition stage, the initiation of the CNFs on the Ni catalyst was investigated. The geometries of the as-grown CNFs on Ni catalyst were strongly dependent on the size and/or the shape of Ni catalyst. Small size catalyst (<150 nm in diameter) gives rise to the unidirectional growth of the CNFs. On the other hand, large size catalyst (150~500 nm), the bidirectional growth of the CNFs could be observed. Particularly, the well faceted parallelogram-shaped Ni catalyst could give rise to the bidirectional growth of the CNFs having the symmetrically opposite direction. Eventually, these bidirectional growths of CNFs were understood to form the well-developed carbon microcoils (CMCs). Based on these results, the optimal shape and the size of the Ni catalyst to form the CMCs were discussed.

Pressure risc is an important design factor and affects significantly on the characteristics of gas circuit breakers. For self-blast circuit breakers, the nozzle ablation plays important role in pressure-building up and should be properly considered for the accurate calculation. In this paper, the nozzle ablation is treated as a boundary condition and the pressure is calculated from mass fractions of PTFE and SF6. The amount of the ablated mass of a nozzle is assumed to be proportional to the are energy and the area of nozzle surface that directly touches arc. The calculation result is compared with measured data and shows good agreement with it.

GIS is a typical power equipment with higher reliability. It is compact and safe because all the energized parts are enclosed by a sealed cylindrical tank which is filled with $SF_6$. Generally gas insulated power equipments like GIS are designed to have sufficient electrical strength to prevent partial discharges under normal operating condition. Despite of the careful processes in manufacturing, transporting and assembling, voids or particles can be created, resulting in partial discharges at electrically weak points. The key factors causing partial discharges in GIS are; particles, voids in solid insulation, protrusions, poor contact of metal components, etc. The particle can be attached on; spacers, electrodes, internal wall of the GIS tank. It also moves in GIS freely. Most of partial discharges are likely to occur when particles are attached to spacers. In this paper, the electrical characteristics of a surface discharge were investigated under various conditions by using simulation program of FEMLAB.

본 연구는 전력 계통에 상용화된 $SF_6$ GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear) 내부에서 발생되는 부분방전 검출 방법을 개발하기 위하여, GIS의 내부에 유입되거나 생산과정에서 형성 될 수 있는 세 가지 결함들을 연구용 GIS 내부에 모의하였으며 또한 특성이 다른 센서(UHF, CT, AE)를 제작 또는 이용하여 그 부분방전 패턴 결과와 주파수 분석 결과를 상호 비교하였다. 실험결과에 의하면, 동일한 결함에 의하여 센서의 검출 결과는 다르게 나타나거나 전혀 검출이 되지 않음이 밝혀졌다. 따라서, 부분방전 패턴분석을 하나의 분석방법에 의존하는 것은 바람직하지 못한 것으로 사료되며 신뢰성 있는 GIS 진단을 위하여 적합한 센서개발 및 두 가지 이상의 분석 방법이 병행되는 것이 절대적으로 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, with the miniaturization of GIS, there is a need for the miniaturization of spacers as accessories. Miniaturized spacers make it difficult to secure adequate insulation distances, resulting in a more concentrated electric field at the triple junction of high-voltage (HV) conductor-insulator (spacer)-insulation gas (SF₆), which is a weakness in GIS. Therefore, by introducing a new concept design technology, functionally graded material (FGM), which is recently applied to various materials and parts industries, three-dimensional control of the dielectric constant distribution in a spacer can be expected to alleviate triple-junction electric field occupancy and improve insulation performance. In this study, we propose an optimized model using NSGA-II to optimize the permittivity distribution of FGM applied spacer.

실리콘을 기판으로 하는 대부분의 태양전지에서는 표면반사에 의한 광에너지손실을 최소화시키고자 습식에칭(wet etching)에 의한 텍스쳐링처리가 이루어진다. 그러나 습식 에칭은 공정 과정이 번거롭고 비용이 많이 든다. Inductively Coupled Plasma Etcher 장비를 이용한 플라즈마 에칭 (plasma etching)을 실리콘 표면에 적용하여 공정을 간단하고 저렴하게 하며 반사도를 획기적으로 낮추는 기술이 개발되었다. 습식 에칭으로 형성된 표면의 피라미드 구조는 1차 반사 후 빛의 일부가 외부로 흩어져 나가지만 플라즈마 에칭으로 형성된 나노구조는 내부전반사가 가능하여 대부분의 태양 에너지를 흡수한다. 나노구조는 필라(pillar)의 형태로 형성되며 이 필라의 길이에 따라 반사도가 다르게 나타난다. 이는 플라즈마 에칭 시 발생하는 이온폭격과 에칭 측벽 식각 보호막(SiOxFy : Silicon- Oxy- Fluoride)이 필라의 길이에 영향을 주기 때문이며, 필라가 길수록 반사도를 저하시킨다. 최저의 반사도를 얻기 위해서 나노필라 형성에 기여하는 플라즈마 에칭 시간, RF bias power, SF6/O2 gas ratio의 변화에 따른 실험이 진행되었다. 플라즈마 발생 초기에는 표면의 거칠기만 증가할 뿐 필라가 형성되지 않지만 특정조건에서 3um 이상의 필라를 얻는다. 이는 에칭 측벽 식각 억제막이 약한 부분으로 이온폭격이 집중되어 발생한다. 플라즈마 에칭을 적용하여 형성된 나노필라는 반사도가 가시광 영역에서 대략 1%에 불과하며, 마스크 없이 공정이 가능한 장점이 있다.

$CO_2$ 분리는 크게 연소전 탈탄소화(pre-combustion capture)와 연소후 포획(post-combustion capture)으로 나누어지는데, post-combustion capture는 연료가 연소하면 $N_2$와 $CO_2$가 남게 되고 흡수나, 흡착, 막분리 등을 이용해서 $CO_2$를 분리하는 것이고, Pre-combustion capture(연소전 회수)는 연소 전에 이산화탄소가 발생되지 않도록 하는 기술로써, 부분 산화나 개질 및 수성가스 변위반응 등이 포함되며 생성된 수소와 이산화탄소를 분리하여 수소를 생산하는 기술($CO_2/H_2$ 분리가 핵심)이다. 우리나라는 대부분 연소 후 포획 위주로 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔지만, 최근 고유가 시장이 형성되면서 석탄화력발전 및 복합가스발전(IGCC)에 필요한 연소전 탈탄소화($H_2/CO_2$ 가스로부터 $CO_2$ 회수) 연구에 산업적 관심이 급상승 되고 있다. 특히, Pre-combustion 과정에서는 높은 자체압력(약 2.5 - 5.0MPa)과 비교적 높은 농도의 $CO_2$(약 40%의)가 발생되기 때문에, 연소전 탈탄소화는 가스하이드레이트 형성/분해 원리가 가장 잘 적용될 수 있는 기술이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 비교적 저압 조건에서도 하이드레이트를 보다 쉽게 형성시키는 촉진제를 이용하여 $CO_2/H_2$ 혼합 가스 중 $CO_2$를 분리하는 실험을 수행하였다.
