  • In this study, experiments of local heating on crown and supplying warm nutrient for energy saving and improving growth of 'Seolhyang' strawberry were conducted. The temperature of inside and crown in greenhouses which were control (space heating 8℃) and test (space heating 5℃+crown heating) was measured. In the control greenhouse, the average of temperature and humidity in December was 7.1℃, 87.2%, respectively. In the test greenhouse, the average of temperature and humidity in December was 5.7℃, 88.7%. The temperature of crown and inside the bed were 7.9℃, 10.8℃ in control, 9.3℃, 12.7℃ in test. During the test period, the total 16,847×103 kcal of energy was consumed in control greenhouse including space heating. In test greenhouse including space heating, crown heating and warm water supplying, total 9,475.7×103 kcal of energy was consumed. So, energy consumption in test was 43.8% less than in the control. The total yields of strawberry during test period were 412.7g/plant for test greenhouse and 393.3g/plant for control greenhouse respectively.

  • Recently, around the world, active development of new renewable energy sources including solar power, waves, and fuel cells, etc. has taken place. Particularly, floating offshore wind farms have been developed for saving costs through large scale production, using high-quality wind power and minimizing noise damage in the ocean area. The development of floating wind farms requires an evaluation of the Maritime Safety Audit Scheme under the Maritime Safety Act in Korea. Floating wind farms shall be assessed by applying the line and area concept for systematic development, management and utilization of specified sea water. The development of appropriate evaluation methods and standards is also required. In this study, proper standards for marine traffic surveys and assessments were established and a systemic treatment was studied for assessing marine spatial area. First, a marine traffic data collector using AIS or radar was designed to conduct marine traffic surveys. In addition, assessment methods were proposed such as historical tracks, traffic density and marine traffic pattern analysis applying the line and area concept. Marine traffic density can be evaluated by spatial and temporal means, with an adjusted grid-cell scale. Marine traffic pattern analysis was proposed for assessing ship movement patterns for transit or work in sea areas. Finally, conceptual design of a Marine Traffic and Safety Assessment Solution (MaTSAS) was competed that can be analyzed automatically to collect and assess the marine traffic data. It could be possible to minimize inaccurate estimation due to human errors such as data omission or misprints through automated and systematic collection, analysis and retrieval of marine traffic data. This study could provides reliable assessment results, reflecting the line and area concept, according to sea area usage.
