대수층 축열 에너지(ATES) 시스템은 지반의 특성과 이용량에 따라 매우 경제적인 새로운 대체에너지로 이용될 수 있다. 적절한 ATES 시스템 설계를 통하여 주어진 수리지질 특성에 적합한 ATES 시스템을 개발하기 위해서는 대수 층내 수리열역학적 과정의 이해가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 지하수 양수 및 열펌프에 이용된 불을 재주입하는 방식의 지하수 열펌프 운영에 대한 두 가지 시나리오를 통하여 두 개의 층으로 이루어진 대수층 모델에 적용하여 대수층내 열 저장에 대한 수리열역학적 현상을 시뮬레이션하였다. 첫 번째 시나리오에서는 양수 우물과 주입 우물을 계절에 따라 서로 교대로 시스템을 운영한 경우에 열 거동에 의한 온도 분포와 지하수위를 시뮬레이션 하였으며, 두 번째는 주입과 양수 우물 위치를 고정하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 356일 이후 주입 우물 주변의 온도 분포는 주입수의 온도와 주입정으로 부터의 거리에 지배적인 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 지표온도 분포는 30과 50 m 심도의 온도 분포에 비하면 미미한 변화만 나타났으며, 각 층에서의 열 거동은 공극률과 지하수의 유동 특성에 따라 매우 민감한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 양수와 주입우물에서의 지하수위와 온도변화를 모니터링하여 열펌프 운영 방식에 따른 효율성을 실험하고, 두 우물간의 열 간섭현상을 분석하였다.

Utilization of Distributed Generations (DGs) using Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) has been constantly increasing as they provide a lot of environmental, economic merits. In spite of these merits, some problems with respect to voltage profile, protection and its coordination system due to reverse power flow could happen. In order to analyze and solve the problems, accurate modeling of DG systems should be preceded as a fundamental research task. In this paper, we present a PhotoVoltaic (PV) generation system which consists of practical PV cells with series and parallel resistor and an inverter for interconnection with a main distribution system. The inverter is based on controllable current source which is capable of controlling power factors, active and reactive powers within a certain limit related to amount of PV generation. To verify performance of the model, a distribution system based on actual data is modeled by using ElectroMagnetic Transient Program (EMTP) software. Computer simulations according to various conditions are also performed and it is shown from simulation results that the model presented is very effective to study DG-related researches.

Utilization of organic waste as a renewable energy source is promising for sustainability and mitigation of climate change. Pyrolysis converts organic waste to gas, oil, and biochar by incomplete biomass combustion. Biochar is widely used as a soil conditioner and adsorbent. Biochar adsorbs/desorbs metals and ions depending on the soil environment and condition to act as a nutrient buffer in soils. Biochar is also regarded as a carbon storage by fixation of organic carbon. Phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) are strictly controlled in many wastewater treatment plants because it causes eutrophication in water bodies. P and N is removed by biological and chemical methods in wastewater treatment plants and transferred to sludge for disposal. On the other hand, P is an irreplaceable essential element for all living organisms and its resource (phosphate rock) is estimated about 100 years of economical mining. Therefore, P and N recovery from waste and wastewater is a critical issue for sustainable human society. For the purpose, intensive researches have been carried out to remove and recover P and N from waste and wastewater. Previous studies have shown that biochars can adsorb and desorbed phosphates implying that biochars could be a complementary fertilizer. However, most of the conventional biochar have limited capacity to adsorb phosphates and nitrate. Recent studies have focused on biochar impregnated with metal salts to improve phosphates and nitrate adsorption by synthesizing biochars with novel structures and surface properties. Metal salts and metal oxides have been used for the surface modification of biochars. If P removal is the only concern, P adsorption kinetics and capacity are the only important factors. If both of P and N removal and the application of recovery are concerned, however, P and N desorption characteristics and bioavailability are also critical factors to be considered. Most of the researches on impregnated biochars have focused on P removal efficiency and kinetics. In this study, coffee waste is thermally treated to produce biochar and it was impregnated with Mg/Al to enhance phosphates and nitrate adsorption/desorption and P bioavailability to increase its value as a fertilizer. Kinetics of phosphates and nitrate adsorption/desorption and bioavailability analysis were carried out to estimate its potential as a P and N removal adsorbent in wasewater and a fertilizer in soil.

Cost efficient and large area deposition of superior quality $Al_2O_3$ doped zinc oxide (AZO) films is instrumental in many of its applications including solar cell fabrication due to its numerous advantages over ITO films. In this study, AZO films were prepared by a highly efficient rotating cylindrical dc magnetron sputtering system using AZO target, which has a target material utilization above 80%, on glass substrates in argon ambient. A detailed analysis on the electrical, optical and structural characteristics of AZO thin films was carried out for solar cell application. The properties of films were found to critically depend on deposition parameters such as sputtering power, substrate temperature, working pressure, and thickness of the films. A low resistivity of ${\sim}5.5{\times}10-4{\Omega}-cm$ was obtained for films deposited at 2kW, keeping the pressure and substrate temperature constant at 3 mtorr and $230^{\circ}C$ respectively, mainly due to an increase in carrier mobility and large grain size which would reduce the grain boundary scattering. The increase in carrier mobility with power can be attributed to the columnar growth of AZO film with (002) preferred orientation as revealed by XRD analysis. The AZO films showed a high transparency of>87% in the visible wavelength region irrespective of deposition conditions. Our results offers a cost-efficient AZO film deposition method which can fabricate films with significant low resistivity and high transmittance that can find application in thin-film solar cells.

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) have received a lot of attention as a power source for both stationary and mobile applications due to their attractive feature. In general, the performance of PEFCs is highly affected by the property of the electrodes. A PEFC electrode essentially consists of a gas diffusion layer and a catalyst layer. The gas difusion layer is highly porous and hydrophobicized with PTFE polymer. The catalyst layer usually contains electrocatalyst, proton conducting polymer, even PTFE as additive. Particularly, the proton conducting ionomer helps to increase the catalytic activity at three-phase boundary and catalyst utilization. Futhermore, it helps to retain moisture, resulting in preventing the electrodes from membrane dehydration. The most widely used proton conducting ionomer is perfluorinated sulfonic acid polymer, namely, Nafion from DuPont due to its high proton conductivity and good mechanical property. However, there are great demands for alternative ionomers based on non-fluorinated materials in terms of high temperature availability, environmental adaptability and production cost. In this study, the electrodes with the various content of the sulfonated poly(ether sulfone) ionomer in the catalyst layer were prepared. In addition, we evaluated electrochemical properties of the prepared electrodes containing the various amount of the ionomers by using the cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy to find an optimal ionomer composition in the catalyst layer.

많은 정보가 데이터로 저장되면서, 데이터를 분석하거나 특수 상황을 예측하기 위한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 특히, 전력 데이터의 경우 환경적 요인에 의한 예측 연구 및 신재생 에너지를 활용하는 스마트그리드와 마이크로그리드 연구들이 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 전력 데이터의 예측을 위해 주변 환경에서 나타나는 데이터를 활용하고자 한다. 이때, 단순 기상 데이터가 아닌 이전 시간에 따른 여러 인자를 반영하여 데이터 예측이 올바르게 이루어지는지를 검증하고자 한다. 검증 과정에서는 유사 기온을 가지는 전력 데이터 선별 예측 결과와 전력 데이터의 길이에 따른 전력 수요 예측 결과를 비교군으로 두고, 기상 정보를 추가 활용하였을 때의 전력 수요 예측 결과를 비교 분석한다. 실험 결과를 통해 기상 정보를 이용할 경우 평균 15% 이내의 최대 오차율 감소 효과를 확인할 수 있다.
