Soiling on the surface of a PV module reduces the amount of light reaching the solar cells, decreasing power performance. The performance of the PV module is generally restored after contaminants on the module surface are washed away by rain, but it accumulates at the bottom of the module owing to the thickness of the module frame, causing an output mismatch on the PV module. Since PV modules are usually installed horizontally or vertically outdoors, soiling can occur at the bottom of the PV module, depending on the installation direction due to external environmental factors. This paper is analyzed the output characteristics of a PV module considering its installation direction and the soiling area. The soiling was simulated to use transparent films with 5% transmittance, and the transmission film was attached to the bottom part of the PV module horizontally and vertically. When the soiling area was 33% of the string at the bottom of the PV module, the power output decreased similarly regardless of installation direction. However, when the soiling area was 66% of the string at the bottom of the PV module, it was confirmed that the output performance decreased sharply when installed vertically rather than horizontally.

The stratospheric drones are developed to perform missions such as weather observation, communication relay, surveillance, and reconnaissance at 18km to 20km, where climate change is minimal and there is no worry about a collision with aircraft. It uses solar panels for daytime flights and energy stored in batteries for night flights, providing many advantages over existing satellites. The electrical and power systems essential for stratospheric drone flight must ensure reliability, efficiency, and lightness by selecting the optimal circuit topology. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the circuit topology of various types of multi-level inverters with high redundancy that can ensure the reliability and efficiency of the motor driving power required for stable long-term flight of stratospheric drones. By quantifying the switch element voltage drop and the number and weight of inverter components for each topology, we evaluate efficiency and lightness and propose the most suitable circuit topology for stratospheric drones.

이 글은 한국에서의 적정기술에 대한 논의와 실천이 기술중심적이고 기술개발(제공)자 중심적인 접근에 국한된 상대적으로 좁은 범위에서 이루어지고 있다는 성찰 위에서, 기술을 둘러싼 사회적, 제도적인 측면과 기술 수용자의 측면을 강조하는 사회-기술 시스템적인 시각에서 적정기술을 통한 국제개발협력 활동을 논의할 필요성을 제기한다. 이를 위해서 우선 적정기술을 기술사회 시스템 논의에 비춰 볼 때 검토해 볼 몇 가지 쟁점-적정기술은 수준 낮은 수준인가? 적정기술 실천은 단위 기술 혹은 제품을 제공하는 것인가? 적정기술은 개발도상국 사람들의 기본적인 필요만을 충족시키기 위한 것인가?-에 대해 논의하였다. 이어 개발도상국-라오스, 태국, 방글라데시-에서 이루어지는 (재생)에너지와 관련한 현지 단체들의 적정기술 실천을 앞서 정리한 쟁점을 중심으로 살펴보면서 사회기술적 시스템적 접근의 의미를 구체적으로 논의해보았다. 다음으로 한국의 적정기술 담론을 비판적으로 평가하는 한편, 민간 국제개발협력 활동 중 재생에너지 관련 사례-몽골의 G-Saver, 네팔과 라오스의 태양광 발전기-를 통해 적정기술 실천의 현황에 대해서 검토하고자 했다. 마지막으로 국내외 사례를 종합하면서, 한국 국제개발협력 활동에서 적정기술 접근을 수용하기 위해 고려해야 할 점에 대해서 몇가지 제안하고, 추후 연구과제를 정리하였다.

본 연구는 연안 육역 및 해역에서 일어나고 있는 해양 신재생에너지 개발계획 및 추진사업을 분석하고, 해양환경 및 생태계와 관련된 중점평가사항을 진단하여 효율적인 스코핑(Scoping) 방안과 정책제언을 제시하였다. 주요한 사업유형으로는 공유수면에는 조력, 해상풍력 및 파력발전이 많았으며, 연안 육역에는 태양광발전사업이 주로 계획되었다. 조력발전 등 대규모 개발사업 추진 시, 상위계획에 따른 전략환경영향평가(SEA)와 공유수면매립기본계획 등 사전평가단계에서는 입지의 타당성과 계획의 적정성 측면에서 연안관리지역계획에 따른 용도구역 등 다른 계획과의 조화, 실질적인 대안분석, 그리고 해양수산 규제지역 분포와 어장이용 등 기 해양공간계획과의 상호 연관성 진단 등이 중요하다. 또한, 해역이용협의나 환경영향평가 등 실시단계에서의 구체적인 평가에서는 사업유형별로 중점평가사항에 대한 철저한 진단, 실효적인 사후모니터링 및 저감방안의 제시가 핵심으로 고려되어야 할 것이다. 특히, 순수하게 해양공간에서 일어나는 에너지발전사업일 경우에는 해양공간계획 방향과 연계되는 사전평가방안 도입 및 통합 "해양환경영향평가" 체제로의 전환 등 해양수산부가 주도하는 평가제도의 개선방안이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Low-temperature drying systems have been extensively used for drying cereal grain such as shelled corn and wheat. Since the 1973 energy crisis, many researches have been conducted to apply solar energy as supplemental heat to natural air drying systems. However, little research on rough rice drying has been done in this area, especially very little in Korea. In designing a solar drying system, quality loss, airflow requirements, temperature rise of drying air, fan power and energy requirements should be throughly studied. The factors affecting solar drying systems are airflow rate, initial moisture content, the amount of heat added to drying air, fan operation method and the weather conditions. The major objectives of this study were to analyze the effects of the performance factors and determine design parameters such as airflow requirements, optimum bed depth, optimum temperature rise of drying air, fan operation method and collector size. Three hourly observations based on the 4-year weather data in Chuncheon area were used to simulate rough rice drying. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. The results of the statistical analysis indicated that the experimental and predicted values of the temperature rise of the air passing through the collector agreed well. 2. Equilibrium moisture content was affected a little by airflow rate, but affected mainly by the amount of heat added, to drying air. Equilibrium moisture content ranged from 12.2 to 13.2 percent wet basis for the continuous fan operation, from 10.4 to 11.7 percent wet basis for the intermittent fan operation respectively, in range of 1. 6 to 5. 9 degrees Centigrade average temperature rise of drying air. 3. Average moisture content when top layer was dried to 15 percent wet basis ranged from 13.1 to 13.9 percent wet basis for the continuous fan operation, from 11.9 to 13.4 percent wet basis for the intermittent fan operation respectively, in the range of 1.6 to 5.9 degrees Centigrade average temperature rise of drying air and 18 to 24 percent wet basis initial moisture content. The results indicated that grain was overdried with the intermittent fan operation in any range of temperature rise of drying air. Therefore, the continuous fan operation is usually more effective than the intermittent fan operation considering the overdrying. 4. For the continuous fan operation, the average temperature rise of drying air may be limited to 2.2 to 3. 3 degrees Centigrade considering safe storage moisture level of 13.5 to 14 perceut wet basis. 5. Required drying time decrease ranged from 40 to 50 percent each time the airflow rate was doubled and from 3.9 to 4.3 percent approximately for each one degrees Centigrade in average temperature rise of drying air regardless of the fan operation methods. Therefore, the average temperature rise of drying air had a little effect on required drying time. 6. Required drying time increase ranged from 18 to 30 percent approximately for each 2 percent increase in initial moisture content regardless of the fan operation methods, in the range of 18 to 24 percent moisture. 7. The intermittent fan operation showed about 36 to 42 percent decrease in required drying time as compared with the continuous fan operation. 8. Drymatter loss decrease ranged from 34 to 46 percent each time the airflow rate was doubled and from 2 to 3 percent approximately for each one degrees Centigrade in average temperature rise of drying air, regardless of the fan operation methods. Therefore, the average temperature rise of drying air had a little effect on drymatter loss. 9. Drymatter loss increase ranged from 50 to 78 percent approximately for each 2 percent increase in initial moisture content, in the range of 18 to 24 percent moisture. 10. The intermittent fan operation: showed about 40 to 50 percent increase in drymatter loss as compared with the continuous fan operation and the increasing rate was higher at high level of initial moisture and average temperature rise. 11. Year-to-year weather conditions had a little effect on required drying time and drymatter loss. 12. The equations for estimating time required to dry top layer to 16 and 1536 wet basis and drymatter loss were derived as functions of the performance factors. by the least square method. 13. Minimum airflow rates based on 0.5 percent drymatter loss were estimated. Minimum airflow rates for the intermittent fan operation were approximately 1.5 to 1.8 times as much as compared with the continuous fan operation, but a few differences among year-to-year. 14. Required fan horsepower and energy for the intermittent fan operation were 3. 7 and 1. 5 times respectively as much as compared with the continuous fan operation. 15. The continuous fan operation may be more effective than the intermittent fan operation considering overdrying, fan horsepower requirements, and energy use. 16. A method for estimating the required collection area of flat-plate solar collector using average temperature rise and airflow rate was presented.
