Polymer electrolyte membranes are developed for the applications to facilitated transport membranes, fuel cells and solar cells. The polymer electrolyte membranes containing silver salt show the remarkably high separation performance for olefin/paraffin mixture in the solid state; the propylene permeance is 45 GPU and the ideal selectivity of propylene/propane is 15,000. For fuel cell membranes, the effects of the presence and size of the proton transport channels on the proton conductivity and methanol permeability were investigated. The cell performance for dye-sensitized solar cells employing polymer electrolytes are measured under light illumination. The overall energy conversion efficiency reaches 5.44 % at 10 ㎽/$\textrm{cm}^2$, to our knowledge the highest value ever reported in the polymer electrolytes.

In this study, RPS system, one of the renewable energy support systems, is utilized for economic analysis of solar generation equipment and the fuel cost savings plan for controlled horticulture farms with high fuel-cost dependency and facility applicability were evaluated. On the exterior of the upper layer of glass greenhouse (9917$m^2$) of controlled horticulture farms using bunker C oil, half of the area (4958$m^2$) was utilized for theoretical installation and operation of 450kW-level solar power generator, and as the result, first, the effect of investment cost only of solar generation system was found to be quite excellent, but it was analyzed that there were limits to saving the fuel costs of the controlled horticulture farms. Second, when geothermal system was first introduced in the farm and solar system was additionally introduced, it was analyzed that the effect of introducing solar system was excellent. In order to apply such effects to the sites of farming, partial supplementation of RPS system which is being uniformly applied regardless of the purpose of renewable energy is necessary. When the subject of use directly install facilities where it is directly connected to national added-value such as food security created by the farming industry, it is necessary to introduce appropriate system that corresponds to such. Moreover, it was studied that the quick development of demonstrative complex that can practically evaluate the applicability of renewable energy in farming industry and interest and preparation of related institutions in financial support structure for its site application would lead to success.

In this study, the scale of renewable photovoltaic(PV) panels and hydrogen fuel storage facilities required to achieve "net zero carbon emissions" in military facilities were predicted based on actual electricity consumption. It was set up to expect the appropriate installation size of PV panel and hydrogen fuel storage facility for achieving carbon neutrality, limited to the electricity consumption in the public sector, including national defense and social security administration in Yeongcheon. The experimental results of this paper are largely composed of two parts. First, representative meteorological factors were considered to predict solar power generation in the Yeongcheon area, and solar power generation was estimated through a multiple regression model using deep learning techniques. Second, the size of solar power generation facilities and hydrogen storage facilities in military bases was estimated with the amount of solar power generation and electricity consumption. As a result of this analysis, it was calculated that a site of 155.76×104 m² for PV panels was needed and a facility capable of storing 27,657 kg of hydrogen gas was required. Through these results, it is meaningful to demonstrated the prospect that military units can lead the achievement of "carbon net zero 2050" by using PV panels and hydrogen fuel storage facilities on idle sites of military bases.

The proceeding of the $14^{th}$ biennial concentrating solar power SolarPACES symposium was closely reviewed and summarized to have an overview on up-to-date concentrated solar thermal technologies. A number of studies covering parabolic trough concentrating system, central receiver technology, solar fuels, dish and others were presented in the symposium which was held in Las Vegas, USA, from 4 to 7, 2008. Based on this overview a brief summary of technology trend and prospects were added in the paper.

Recently, interest in renewable energy is increased due to exhaustion of fossil fuel and environmental pollution all over the world, therefore the solar power generation using solar energy is many researched. The solar power generation is required solar tracking control and high concentration solar thermal collector because generation performance is depended on concentrator efficiency. This paper proposes high efficiency solar power generation with two-axis tracking control using dish-type solar thermal collector that has excellent thermal collector performance and tracking algorithm that can be accurately tracked solar position. This paper proves validity through analysis with accuracy of tracking algorithm and generating efficiency.

Fossil fuel such as oil and natural gas has been used and will be no longer supplied enough to demand in the beginning of thisg century. The use of the fuel makes a lot of environmental pollution to threaten human being's health especially in big cities and produces a lot of $CO_{2}$ to make green house effect of the earth. It is the time to use clean fuel such as hydrogen to prevent the expected energy crisis and the pollution. A new engine such as fuel cell can be used instead of the conventional internal combustion engine with 2 to 3 times higher efficiency of the conventional engine. The fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen and produces electric energy and pure water, which is a calm engine without air pollution. In big cities the city buses and the taxies powered by hydrogen fuel cells are suggested to be operated for clean environment. The energy and cost analysis performed for hydrogen and electricity production from wind power and solar cell.

For sustainable economic growth, the Korea government continues to increase its investment in R&D and at the same time, have reinforced the management of R&D outcomes and enlargement of its infrastructure for utilization. However, a strategic R&D planning that draws an outstanding outcomes is more important than the management of its post-outcomes. The purpose of this study is to propose an implication on the policy of R&D planning for obtaining a good R&D outcomes such as a high quality patent. We compared and analyzed the determinants of the patent quality in fuel cell and solar cell technology using the count data models. Estimated results showed that the determinants of the patent quality in technologies were different from each other. Therefore, having appropriate R&D planning strategies for all technologies was more effective than applying one same strategy for all because of technological differences, and based on the estimated results, we suggested the R&D planning strategy in fuel cell and solar cell technologies that could in result in high R&D outcomes.

Two types of solar energy-latent heat storage system have been developed to minimize the fossil fuel consumption and maximize the solar energy utilization in greenhouse heating during the winter season. The one was installed on the greenhouse floor, and the other in the underground of the greenhouse . Sodium suphate decahydrate was selected as a highly concentrative solar energy storage medium and its unstable thermophysicla properties were adjusted by some additives. Thermal efficiency of them was analyzed by numerical and experimental method.

For the high quality and low cost agricultural crops in greenhouse cultivation, it is necessary to use natural energy as much as possible. In order to reduce the fossil fuel consumption and maximize the solar energy utilization in greenhouse heating, a latent heat storage material was developed as a relatively highly concentrative solar energy storage medium. And a solar energy-latent heat storage system was designed and constructed. The experimental research on greenhouse heating effect of the system was performed.
