This study examines the ways to address environmental issues by utilizing activated loess to reduce the amount of cements that emit a large amount of carbon dioxide during the process of manufacturing, and by reusing the polysilicon sludge produced as a result of manufacturing polysilicon, one of the components for solar power generation panels. The findings of the experiment showed that the optimal replacement ratio of the polysilicon sludge is 20%, 35% for W/B, and 20% for the ratio of the fine aggregate addition. As it is deemed that utilizing the polysilicon sludge for reinforced concrete may lead to rebar corrosion due to the $CI^-$ contained in the sludge, it can be considered to use for unreinforced concrete or bricks.

The purpose of this study was to consider the energy generation of the building as well as the energy demand of the building in terms of zero energy building design. The reason why the zero energy building viewpoint should be discussed is that direction of the building, heat transfer rate of the building, and the S/V ratio of the building are variables related to energy demand and solar panels installed on the building roof and building envelope are variables related to energy generation. This study proceeded as follows; Firstly, the simulation model of large office and elementary school has the same mutual volume and total floor area, and the each floor area and number of floors are adjusted so that the S/V ratio is different. To the next, the energy demand and energy generation of the simulation model were derived based on the meteorological data of Seoul, Daejeon, Busan. Finally, energy demand, energy generation, and final energy demand were compared with heat transfer rate, S/V ratio, building type, region, and orientation. The results of this study is that consideration of solar power generation in terms of energy generation should be taken into consideration at the same time in consideration of the heat transfer rate, the shape, the region and the direction of the zero energy building design.

In residential house, photovoltaic (PV) system among various alternatives in renewable energy system is the most efficient and feasible solution for reducing energy consumption and electricity cost. However, relatively high initial cost make people reluctant to install PV system in their houses. Therefore, in the initial state for PV system installation in the house, it is very important to decide proper capacity of the PV system considering the expected energy usage and solar energy supplying condition with the house. This paper proposes a novel optimization model for deciding appropriate capacity of the PV system for residential house. The objective function of the model is to minimize the annual cost including electricity bill, operation and maintenance cost, and annual fixed cost calculated from the initial installation cost based on capital recovery factor (CRF). The model also shows the optimal inclining angle of PV panels of the system. In this paper, we estimate the PV output using PVWATTS (PV simulator of Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy) and find optimal solutions by Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) method using MATLAB software. The proposed approach is finally applied to a residential model house in Gangneung, Gangwon-Do and verified its feasibility for adopting to PV system design for residential houses.

This paper applies the Orbital Geometry-based Bias Estimation Algorithm to the magnetometer measurement data of KOMPSAT-1 and 2 and analyzes the induced magnetic field bias caused by the solar panels and electronics boxes in spacecraft bus. This paper reveals that the estimation and correction of the induced magnetic field bias copes with the aging process of magnetometer and makes it possible to carry on the satellite mission by extending its lifetime.

This paper presents the optimal energy generation systems for economical EVs(Electric Vehicles) charging stations located in an island area. The system includes grid electricity, diesel generator and renewable energy sources of wind turbines and PV(Photovoltaic) panels. The independent generation system is designed with data resources such as annual average wind speed, solar radiation and the grid electricity price by calculating system cost under different structures. This sensitive analysis on the varying data resources allows for the configuration of the most economical generation system for charging stations by comparing initial capital, operating cost, NPC(Net Present Cost) and COE(Cost of Energy). Depending on the increase of the grid cost, the NPC variation of the most economical system which includes renewable energy generations and grid electricity can be smaller than those of other generation systems.

With the change in Earth's ecosystems due to climate change, a number of studies on zero energy buildings have been conducted globally, due to the depletion of energy and resources. However, most studies have concentrated on residential and office buildings and the performance predictions were made only in the design phase. This study verifies the zero-energy performance in the operational phase by acquiring and analyzing data after the completion of an exhibition building. This building was a retention building, in which a renewable energy system using a passive house building envelope, solar photovoltaic power generation panels, as well as fuel cells were adopted to minimize the maintenance cost for future energy-zero operations. In addition, the energy performance of the building was predicted through prior simulations, and this was compared with actual measured values to evaluate the energy performance of the actual operational records quantitatively. The energy independence rate during the measurement period of the target building was 123% and the carbon reduction due to the energy production on the site was 408.07 tons. The carbon reduction exceeded the carbon emission (331.5 tons), which verified the carbon zero and zero-energy performances.

Graphene has recently been a subject of much interest as a potential platform for future nanodevices such as flexible thin-film transistors, touch panels, and solar cells. And chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and related surface segregation techniques are a potentially scalable approach to synthesizing graphite films on a variety of metal substrates. The structural properties of such films have been studied by a number of methods, including Raman scattering, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). An understanding of the structural quality and thickness of the graphite films is of paramount importance both in improving growth procedures and understanding the resulting films' electronic properties. In this study, we synthesized the few-layered grapheneunder optimized condition to figure out the growth mechanism seen in CVD-grown graphenee by using various electron microscope. Especially, we observed directly film thickness, quality, nucleation site, and uniformity of grpahene by using AEM. The details will be discussed in my presentation.

To prepare the transparent electrode for electronic devices such as flat panel or flexible displays, solar cells, and touch panels; tin doped $In_2O_3$ (ITO) films with low resistivity and a high transparency were fabricated using a facing target sputtering (FTS) system at the various oxygen gas flow rate. The carrier concentration and mobility of ITO films were measured by Hall Effect measurement. And the transmittance was measured using the UV-VIS spectrometer. As a result, we can obtain the ITO thin films prepared at 10% oxygen gas flow ratio, thickness 150 nm with transmittance 85% and resistivity $8.1{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ and surface roughness 5.01 nm.

Aerospace applications use pyrotechnic devices with many different functions. Functional shock, safety, overall system cost issue, and availability of new technologies, however, question the continued use of these mechanisms on aerospace applications. Release device is an important example of a task usually executed by pyrotechnic mechanisms. Many aerospace applications like satellite solar panels deployment or weather balloon separation need a release device. Several incidents, where pyrotechnic mechanisms could be responsible for spacecraft failure, have been encouraging new designs for these devices. The Frangibolt is a non explosive device which comprises a commercially available bolt and a small collar made of shape memory alloy (SMA) that replace conventional explosive bolt systems. This paper presents the modeling and simulation of Frangiblot by the change of bolt size and notch geometry. This analysis may contribute to improve the Frangibolt design.
