Cure behavior and thermal stability of the different ratio of diglycidylether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)/trimethylolpropane triglycidylether(TMP) epoxy blends initiated by 1 wt % N-benzylpyrazinium hexafluoroantimonate (BPH) as a cationic latent catalyst were studied using DSC and TGA, respectively. Latent properties were performed by measurement of the conversion as a function of temperature using dynamic DSC. Dynamic DSC thermograms of DGEBA/TMP blends revealed that the weak peak was formed by complex formation between the hydroxyl groups in DGEBA and BPH, and between epoxides and BPH in low temperature ranges. The strong peak was considered as an exothermic reaction by the formation of three-dimensional network in high temperature ranges. Isothermal DSC revealed that the reaction rate of the blends was found to be higher than that of the neat TMP. The thermal stabilities in the cured resins were increased with increasing the DGEBA content. These results could be interpreted in terms of the stable aromatic structure, existence of hydroxyl group and high molecular weight of DGEBA.

Effect of the thermal poling on the 1.55 fm emission spectra in various Er$^{3+}$ -doped glasses was investigated with a special attention on the changes in the values of FWHM(Full Width at Half Maximum) intensity. Tellurite glasses poled at 28$0^{\circ}C$ with an electric voltage of 4 kV resulted in an approximately 6% increase in FWHM values compared with their unpoled counterparts. On the other hand, values for glasses, such as aluminosilicate, sulfide and chalcohalide, either decreased or remained unchanged. The characteristic results from tellurite glasses are most probably due to the presence of lone-pair electrons in the TeO$_4$ hi-pyramidal units that form the main network structure of tellurite glasses.

The hybrid composites of aliphatic polyester-silica were prepared via a sol-gel reaction and their potential application using as a buffer coating layer in the thermoelectric device were investigated. When aliphatic polyesters were thermally treated at a high temperature of $240^{\circ}C$, the polymer showed an increases in thermal degradation temperature by $30{\sim}90^{\circ}C$ according to the thermal treatment time. The polyester-silica composites showed an increases in thermal degradation temperature by $30{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ according to the content of the added silica. Polyester-silica composite showed neither discoloration nor change in optical properties because Knoevenagel condensation reaction was hindered by silica structure. The thermal conductivity of the composites increased linearly according to the content of added silica.

The operation of the natural circulation type solar heating systems with facade integrated collector was analyzed by experiment. Two different types of flat plate solar collectors were used for these experiments. One was for the normal flat plate solar collector with the size of 1m*2m and the other was for the large size solar collector with $4m^2$(1m*4m). The experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of the series or parallel connection method on the performance of the collectors. As a result, the solar thermal system which is installed on the wall or facade would be applicable for the natural circulation type if the system design reflects various parameters, including collector connecting method(series or parallel), to provide enough vertical height between collector and storage tank, and to reduce pressure loss due to collector and piping network, etc. The natural circulation type of solar thermal system as proposed in this study can increase the system reliability by removing or minimizing the use of the components such as pump, controller, sensors which may cause serious troubles of the system for a long-time operation

SolarPACES is an international cooperative network bringing together teams of national exports from around the world to focus on the development and marketing of concentrating solar power systems (also known as solar thermal power systems). It is one of a number of collaborative programs, called Implementing Agreements, managed under the umbrella of the International Energy Agency to help find solutions to worldwide energy problems. Technology development is at the core of the work of SolarPACES. Member countries work together on activities aimed at solving the wide range of technical problems associated with commercialization of concentrating solar technology, including large-scale system tests and the development of advanced technologies, components, instrumentation, and systems analysis techniques. In addition to technology development, market development and building of awareness of the potential of concentrating solar technologies are key elements of the SolarPACES program The Implementing Agreement specifies broad "Tasks," or thematic areas of work SolarPACES currently has three ongoing tasks, focusing on concentrating solar electric power systems (Task I), solar chemistry research (Task II), and solar technology and applications (Task III). An Operating Agent, nominated by the ExCo, is responsible for overseeing the work of each task Each task maintains a detailed program of work that defines all task activities, including their objectives, participants, plans, and budgets. In addition to technical reports of the activities and their participants, accomplishments and progress are summarized in the SolarPACES annual report. Many SolarPACES activities involve close cooperation among member countries (either through sharing of task activities or, occasionally, cost-sharing), although some cooperation is limited to sharing of information and results with other participants. In this paper, structure, works, and members of SolarPACES and Korean activies in the SolarPACES are introduced.

We present the thermal analysis result of die bonding for a high power LED package using a metal hybrid silicone adhesive structure. The simulation structure consists of an LED chip, silicone die adhesive, package substrate, silicone-phosphor encapsulation, Al PCB and a heat-sink. As a result, we demonstrate that the heat generated from the chip is easily dissipated through the metal structure. The thermal resistance of the metal hybrid structure was 1.662 K/W. And the thermal resistance of the total package was 5.91 K/W. This result is comparable to the thermal resistance of a eutectic bonded LED package.

Since the direct normal insolation is a main factor for designing any solar thermal power system, it is necessary to evaluate its characteristics all over the country. We have begun collecting direct normal insolation data since December 1990 at 16 different locations and considerable effort has been made for constructing a standard value from measured data at each station. KIER(Korea Institute of Energy Research's new data will be extensively used by solar thermal concentrating system users or designers as well as by research institutes. From the results, we can conclude that 1) Yearly mean $5.4kWh/m^2/day$ of the direct normal insolation was evaluated for clear day all over 16 areas in Korea. 2) Clear day's direct normal insolation of spring and summer were $5.53kWh/m^2/day$ and $5.84kWh/m^2/day$, and for fall and winter their values were $5.3kWh/m^2/day$ and $4.94kWh/m^2/day$ respectively. So, spring and summer were higher, and fall and winter were lower than the yearly mean value.

The domestic needs for larger capability of power sources are increasing to cope with the expanding power load which results from the industrial developments & the progressed life style. In summer, the peak load is mainly due to the non-industrial reasons such as air-conditioners and other cooling equipments. To cover the concentrated peak load in stable, the power transmission lines should be more constructed and efficiently operated. The ampacity design of the underground cable system is generally following international standards such as IEC287, IEC60853 and JCS168 which regards the shape of 100% daily full power loads. It is not so efficient to neglect the real shapes of load curves generally below 60~70% of full load. The dynamic (real time) rating system tends to be used with the measured thermal parameters which make it possible to calculate the maximum ampacity within required periods. In this paper, the CTM(Conductor Temperature Monitoring) which is the base of dynamic rating systems for tunnel environment is proposed by a design of lumped thermal network ($\pi$-type thermal model) and distribution temperature sensor attached configuration, including the estimation results of its performances by load cycle test on 345kV single phase XLPE cable.
