  • Batch cultivations of Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens have been systematically studied for the economical production of succinic acid from wood hydrolysate with corn steep liquor(CSL) as a nitrogen source. CSL was found to be an alternative complex nitrogen source for A. succiniciproducens when glucose and wood hydrolysate were used as carbon sources. Compared with polypeptone and/or yeast extract, CSL had similar effects on fermentation performance such as succinic acid yield and a ratio of succinic acid to acetic acid in the fermentation of wood hydrolysate as well as glucose. This means that succinic acid can be produced more economically from wood hydrolysate and CSL than relatively expensive carbon and nitrogen sources. Besides its low cost, the alternative medium served as a green technology for succinic acid production because it gives a net-zero effect on global warming.

  • This paper presents an improved algorithm of optimal measurement system design with a reliability evaluation method for large power system. The proposed algorithm is developed to consider the dummy bus and to achieve highest accuracy of the state estimator as well with the limited Investment cost. The dummy bus in the power system is impossible to install measurement meter, while real and reactive power measurement values are exactly zero. Thus, the effect on these dummy bus measurements is considered in the proposed algorithm. On the other hand, P/C model is developed by taking advantage of the matrix sparsity. The improved program is successfully tested for KEPCO system with PSS/E lineflow calculated data package.

  • A low-cost, large area, random, maskless texturing scheme independent of crystal orientation is expected to significantly impact terrestrial photovoltaic technology. We investigated silicon surface microstructures formed by reactive ion etching (RIE) in Multi-Hollow cathode system. Desirable texturing effect has been achieved when radio-frequency (rf) power of about 20 Watt per one hollow cathode glow is applied for our RF Multi-Hollow cathode system. The black silicon etched surface shows almost zero reflectance in the visible region as well as in near IR region. The etched silicon surface is covered by columnar microstructures with diameters from 50 to 100 nm and depth of about 500 nm. We have successfully achieved 11.7% efficiency of mono-crystalline silicon solar cell and 10.2% multi-crystalline silicon solar cell.

  • T-type isolated DC/DC converters have recently attracted attention due to their numerous advantages, including few components, low cost, and symmetrical operation of transformers. This study proposes an improved control strategy for increasing the efficiency of T-type isolated DC/DC converters. Under the proposed strategy, the primary circulating current flows through the auxiliary switches (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors) instead of their body diodes in free-wheeling periods. Such feature can reduce conduction losses, thereby improving the efficiency of T-type isolated DC/DC converters. The operation principles and performances of T-type isolated DC/DC converters under the proposed control strategy are analyzed in detail and verified through the simulation and experimental results.

  • This paper proposes the method to develop the fuel of suljigemi pellets using agricultural by-products the occurred during the manufacturing of alcohol. This paper is the goal to make sulgigemi pellet fuel for develops pellet of high calorie. The methods of sulgigemi pellet manufacturing well mix as the dough with the water and the sulgigemi. And then we have dried in the after compression and molding using well mixed the sulgigemi. The moisture of pellets has dried it removed until about 85%. Suljigemi pellet has the effect of zero emission as the soil conditioner using ash after burning. The merits for the sulgigemi pellet are the convenience of storage and custody. Also sulgigemi pellet has the reduction effect of carriage fee, fuel economy and low-cost high-efficiency effects, environmentally clean fuel as CO2 emissions savings. In experiment, we confirmed to calories of the wood pellet and the sulgigemi pellet. The calorie of the suljigemi pellets has high 233 kilo calories than the wood pellets. So the technologies of the sulgigemi fuel pellets are developing low carbon, green growth renewable energy fuel through futuristic energy system will be.

  • Architectural market in the world is trying to develop Zero Carbon Buildng that doesn"t use fossil fuel. Residential building that thermal load such as heating and domestic hot water is over 70% in energy consumption is easy to make Zero Carbon Building compared with office building that is mainly electric load. So, As a preliminary for analyzing the effect of Solar thermal system in the building, an annual energy consumption of residential building and total heat loads are calculated. Based on this result, three alternatives of solar thermal system for hot water and heating are applied in the building while installation area is increasing. Solar thermal system is applied on balcony and roof of apartment building as the way to reduce thermal load. In the first case that solar thermal system for hot water is applied on the balcony, optimum installation area is $56m^2$. And you could install $40m^2$ of this system in the roof that angle is $30^{\circ}$. In the second case of solar thermal system for heating and hot water, you can install $40m^2$ on the roof. As a result of economic evaluation, the most economical application method is to install $40m^2$ of solar thermal system for only hot water on the roof of the building. At that time, you can payback the initial investing cost within 10 years. And carbon emission of this method can be reduced until about 4 ton per year.

  • The present study aims to examine the impact of real earnings management on the future value of the firm and its persistence. The study also tests suspect firm effects on the relationship between real earnings management and the future value of the firm. The sample of the present study consists of all listed non-financial firms from the year 2011 to 2018. Real earnings management has been measured in three alternative ways viz., abnormal operating cash flows, abnormal discretionary spending, and abnormal production cost. Tobin's Q is used as a measure of firm value. The interaction term of real earnings management and Tobin's Q is used to test firm value persistence. The results of the analysis disclose that out of three measures of real earnings management, abnormal reduction in discretionary spending only has a significant negative impact on the persistence of firm value. Moreover, the suspect firm analysis reveals that when the underlying motive of real earnings management is to meet zero earnings, both abnormal increases in operating cash flows and abnormal reduction in discretionary spending have a significant negative impact on firm value persistence.

  • 지역별 차등 전기요금 제도의 도입이 논의되고 있으며, 그 방법론으로 LMP(Locational Marginal Price) 방식이 유력한 대안으로 언급되고 있다. 이런 배경하에서 본 연구는 수리모형을 통해 LMP 방식이 사회후생을 극대화하는 결과를 도출함을 제시한다. 분석 결과 사회후생 극대화 가격은 지역별 한계발전비용과 동일하며, 지역별 한계비용의 차이는 송전손실에 의해 사라지는 가치와 송전망 투자에 대한 보상을 반영한다. 그리고 송전용량이 최적 용량 미만인 경우 송전망 투자에 대한 보상액은 증분비용을 초과하여 송전망 투자의 유인이 제공된다. 반면 송전용량이 최적 용량을 초과할 경우 송전망 투자에 대한 보상액은 증분비용보다 낮아지며 용량이 상당히 큰 경우 0이 되어 투자액이 회수되지 않고 송전망 투자가 억제된다. 이는 LMP 개념하에서의 송전망 투자 보상 방식과 동일하며, 이 방식이 사회후생 극대화 및 최적 송전망 투자 시그널을 제공함을 의미한다. 이상의 분석결과는 LMP의 특성을 이해하는 데 기여하며, 추가로 본 연구에서는 LMP 개념의 도입 시 전력시장에 어떤 변화가 필요한지를 논의하였다.

  • 본 연구에서는 식물공장 내·외부 환경 변화에 따라 연간 총 에너지 요구량의 변화를 분석하기기 위해, 컨테이너형 식물공장을 대상으로 해석적 연구를 진행하였다. 내부 환경 변수로는 일장, 설정 온도 및 습도를 선정하였으며, 외부 환경은 ASHRAE에서 제시한 세계 기후 ZONE에 따라 9가지 기후조건에서 연간 총 에너지 요구량의 변화를 살펴보았다. 내부환경 조건 변화에 있어서는 대전지역에서의 일장의 증가는 연간 총에너지 요구량을 증가시키고, 설정 습도의 증가는 연간 총 에너지 요구량을 감소시켰다. 설정 온도의 증가는 냉·난방 및 제습 부하의 증감량에 따라 에너지 요구량 최적점이 있었다. 외부 기후 환경의 변화에 따른 차이를 살펴보면, 식물공장의 연간 총 에너지 요구량이 최대 713.0kWh·m-2·yr-1(타이페이, 타이완, 고온·건조)이고 최저585.7kWh·m-2·yr-1(모스크바, 러시아, 저온·다습)로, 동일한 작물 재배에 최대 21.7%의 에너지 요구량 차이가 났다. 또한 각 내부 환경 변수가 기후에 따라 미치는 영향의 정도를 분석하기 위해 민감도 분석을 진행하였다. 그 결과 연간 총 에너지 요구량 중 냉방부하의 비율이 높은 더운 지역의 경우 일장 변화에 의한 에너지 요구량 변화가 컸고, 반면에 난방 부하가 큰 추운 지역의 경우 설정 습도 변화에 따른 에너지 요구량 변화가 상대적으로 더컸다. 설정온도의 변화는 난방 부하 및 냉방 부하의 상충된 영향을 미치기 때문에, 기후에 따른 냉·난방 부하 비율에 따라 최적점이 나타났다. 본 연구의 개발 모델 및 결과는 작물에 따른 최적 지역 선정 또는 지역에 따른 적정 생육환경 작물을 선정하는 데 활용될 수 있으며, 또한 작물의 생육뿐만 아니라 에너지 사용량 절감을 고려한 식물공장 재배 환경 조건 도출에 활용될 수 있다.
