본 전기자동차(EV)의 사용을 늘리고 계통 부담을 최소화하기 위해 재생에너지를 사용하는 마이크로그리드가 중요한 역할을 담당해야 한다. 마이크로그리드는 소형 디젤발전과 같은 화석연료를 사용할 수도 있지만, 많은 경우에 친환경 에너지인 재생에너지로부터 에너지를 공급받을 수 있다. 그러나 태양광과 풍력과 같은 재생에너지는 가변적인 출력 특성을 갖는다. 따라서 전기자동차의 충·방전 에너지 수요를 충족하는 동시에 안정적으로 부하 전력을 공급하기 위해서 마이크로그리드에 디젤발전 또는 전기차-그리드(V2G)를 병행 에너지원으로 활용하는 전기자동차 충전인프라 구성에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 이와 같은 배경으로 본 연구에서는 태양광발전, 풍력발전, 디젤발전과 V2G를 활용하여 부하에 안정적으로 전력을 공급할 수 있는 마이크로그리드의 모델을 구성하였다. 제안된 마이크로그리드는 태양광발전과 풍력발전을 1차 공급에너지원으로 전력 수요에 대응토록 하고, 부하의 전기차의 운영 유형과 부하 동기기의 회전속도를 판단하여 부족 전력에 대해 디젤발전으로부터 안정적으로 전력을 공급할 수 있는 모델이다. 이렇게 제안된 모델의 시스템 성능을 검증하기 위해 MATLAB/Simulink로 시뮬레이션함으로써 마이크로그리드의 안정적 운영 방안을 고찰하였다.

최근 태양광의 발전 효율성과 경제성이 높은 발전소 부지를 확보하기 위해 특정 지역을 대상으로 태양광 발전량을 정확히 예측하기 위한 연구들이 수행되었다. 하지만 국내의 경우 기존 발전량 데이터가 부족함에 따라 정확한 발전량 추정에 문제가 발생할 수 있으며, 우리나라 기준으로 어떠한 기상조건을 나타내는 변수가 태양광발전에 어느 정도의 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 지형 효과를 충분히 고려하여 제작된 태양복사에너지 지도와 미세먼지와 같은 기상조건을 추가하여 태양광 발전량 추정 회귀모델을 제시하고, 추정된 발전량과 실제 발전량을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 습도를 제외한 태양복사에너지, 온도, 풍속, 운량, 강수량, 일조시간, 미세먼지가 발전 효율에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 회귀 분석모델을 통해 추정된 발전량과 실제 발전량을 비교 분석하여 RMSE는 48.261(h), nRMSE는 1.592(%), MAPE는 11.696(%), 그리고 는 0.979이 도출되었다. 이러한 결과는 국내 태양광 발전 부지를 평가함에 있어서 고려해야 하는 중요한 기상 조건 등 태양광 발전량 추정 모델을 설계하는데 활용할 수 있으며, 이를 바탕으로 태양광 발전소 건설 부지를 선정함에 있어 중요한 지표인 발전량을 정확히 추정하는데 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

Serious environmental problems have been caused by the greenhouse effect due to carbon dioxide($CO_2$) or nitrogen oxides($NO_x$) generated by the use of fossil fuels, including oil and liquefied natural gas. Many countries, including our own, the United States, those of the European Union and other developed countries around the world; have shown growing interest in clean energy, and have been concentrating on the development of new energy-saving materials and devices. Typical non-fossil-fuel sources include solar cells, wind power, tidal power, nuclear power, and fuel cells. In particular, organic solar cells(OSCs) have relatively low power-conversion efficiency(PCE) in comparison with inorganic(silicon) based solar cells, compound semiconductor solar cells and the CIGS [$Cu(In_{1-x}Ga_x)Se_2$] thin film solar cells. Recently, organic cell efficiencies greater than 10 % have been obtained by means of the development of new organic semiconducting materials, which feature improvements in crystalline properties, as well as in the quantum-dot nano-structure of the active layers. In this paper, a brief overview of solar cells in general is presented. In particular, the current development status of the next-generation OSCs including their operation principle, device-manufacturing processes, and improvements in the PCE are described.

The purpose of this study was to promote the utilization of wind velocity of kitchen and bathroom exhaust ducts for wind power generation in high-rise apartments. The research content can be summarized as follows: 1) Nine high-rise apartments were examined for the installation of kitchen and bathroom exhaust ducts located in the pipe shaft (PS) section. After selecting simulation candidates, a simulation was performed with the STAR-CCM+ Ver 5.06 program. 2) Of nine high-rise apartments, seven had kitchen and bathroom exhaust ducts, whose cross section was in the range of $0.16m^2{\sim}0.4m^2$. The area ratio between the exhaust ducts and PS section (cross section of exhaust duct/area of PS section ${\times}$ 100) was on average 3.2%. 3) The simulation results were analyzed. As a result, the smaller cross section kitchen and bathroom exhaust ducts had, the more advantages there were for increasing exhaust wind velocity. If an out air inlet duct is installed to the old kitchen and bathroom exhaust ducts, it will increase exhaust wind velocity by 3.01~3.98m/s and contribute to the proper wind velocity level (3.0m/s). 4) When the simultaneous usage rate between the kitchen and bathroom exhaust fan increased from 20% to 60%, exhaust wind velocity increased. The "entire house holds" condition for exhaust fan operation provided more even exhaust wind velocity than the "some house holds" condition. 5) Exhaust wind velocity increased in the order of amplified (T-3), induced (T-2) and vertical (T-1) top of kitchen and bathroom exhaust ducts. Of them, the amplified type (T-3) was under the least influence of external wind velocity and thus the most proper for kitchen and bathroom exhaust duct tops.

Paradigm depending only on fossil fuel for building heat source is rapidly changing. Accelerating the change, as it has been known, is obligation for reducing green house gas coming from use of fossil fuel, i.e. reaction to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. In addition, factors such as high oil price, unstable supply, weapon of petroleum and oil peak, by replacing fossil fuel, contributes to advance of environmental friendly renewable energy which can be continuously reusable. Therefore, current new energy policies, beyond enhancing effectiveness of heat using equipments, are to make best efforts for national competitiveness. Our country supports 11 areas for new renewable energy including sun light, solar heat and wind power. Among those areas, ocean thermal energy specifies tidal power generation using tide of sea, wave and temperature differences, wave power generation and thermal power generation. But heat use of heat source from sea water itself has been excluded as non-utilized energy. In the future, sea water heat source which has not been used so far will be required to be specified as new renewable energy. This research is to survey local heating system in Europe using sea water, central solar heating plants, seasonal thermal energy store and to analyze large scale central solar heating plants in German. Seasonal thermal energy store necessarily need to be equipped with large scale thermal energy store. Currently operating central solar heating system is a effective method which significantly enhances sharing rate of solar heat in a way that stores excessive heat generating in summer and then replenish insufficient heat for winter. Construction cost for this system is primarily dependent on large scale seasonal heat store and this high priced heat store merely plays its role once per year. Since our country is faced with 3 directional sea, active research and development for using sea water heat as cooling and heating heat source is required for seashore villages and building units. This research suggests how to utilize new energy in a way that stores cooling heat of sea water into seasonal thermal energy store when temperature of sea water is its lowest temperature in February based on West Sea and then uses it as cooling heat source when cooling is necessary. Since this method utilizes seasonal thermal energy store from existing central solar heating plant for heating and cooling purpose respectively twice per year maximizing energy efficiency by achieving 2 seasonal thermal energy store, active research and development is necessarily required for the future.

In remote islands, due to expense of existing generation systems, installation of photovoltaic cells (PVs) and wind turbines has a chance of reducing generation costs. However, in island power systems, even short-term power fluctuations change the frequency of grids because of their small inertia constant. In order to compensate power fluctuations, the authors proposed the power consumption control of pumps which send water to tanks. The power control doesn’t affect water users’ convenience as long as tanks hold water. Based on experimental characteristics of a pump system, this paper shows methods to determine reference power consumption of the system with compensation for short-term PV fluctuations while satisfying water demand. One method uses a PI controller and the other method calculates reference power consumption from water flow reference. Simulations with a PV and a pump system are carried out to find optimum parameters and to compare the methods. Results show that both PI control method and water flow calculation method are useful for satisfying the water demand constraint. The water demand constraint has a little impact to suppression of the short-term power fluctuation in this condition.

Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), in collaboration with the NASA Goddard Sparce Flight Center (GSFC), will develop a next generation coronagraph for the International Space Station (ISS). COronal Diagnostic EXperiment (CODEX) uses multiple filters to obtain simultaneous measurements of electron density, temperature, and velocity within a single instrument. CODEX's regular, systematic, comprehensive dataset will test theories of solar wind acceleration and source, as well as serve to validate and enable improvement of space-weather/operational models in the crucial source region of the solar wind. CODEX subsystems include the coronagraph, pointing system, command and data handling (C&DH) electronics, and power distribution unit. CODEX is integrated onto a standard interface which provides power and communication. All full resolution images are telemeters to the ground, where data from multiple images and sequences are co-added, spatially binned, and ratioed as needed for analysis.

본 연구는 신 재생전원설비가 전력공급설비로서의 역할을 키워감에 따라 나타날 수 있는 공급상의 문제를 신 재생에너지원별로 확률적인 분석을 통하여 제기하였다. 각 원별 패턴은 풍속, 일사량, 그리고 월력에 근거한 조수간만의 차이 등에 의해 영향을 받으며 이들은 확률적 분포를 갖는다는 점에 주목하여 피크공급에 대한 각 원별 기여도에 대한 확률적 분석을 시도하였다. 분석의 결과, 통상적인 전력수급계획에서 각 에너지원별 혹 발전원별 설비이용률만을 고려하여 설비계획에 반영하는 기존의 방법론이 갖는 한계를 보여준다.
