The COBRA/RELAPS code, an integrated version of the COBRA-TF and RELAP5/MOD3 codes, has been developed for the realistic simulations of complicated, multi-dimensional, two-phase, thermal-hydraulic system transients in light water reactors. Recently, KAERA developed an unified version of the COBRA/RELAP5 code, which can run in serial mode on both workstations and personal computers. This paper provides the brief overview of the code integration scheme, the recent code modifications, the developmental assessments, and the future development plan.

The current electricity networks will undergo profound changes in the years to come to be able to meet the growing demand for electricity, while minimizing the costs of consumers and producers, etc. The electricity network of tomorrow or even the intelligent « Smart Grids » network will be the convergence of two networks: the electricity network and the telecommunications network. In this context falls our work which aims to study the impact of the integration of energy decentralization into the electricity network. In this sense, we have implemented a new smart grid model where several coexisting suppliers can exchange information with consumers in real time. In addition, a new approach to energy distribution optimization has been developed. The simulation results prove the effectiveness of this approach in improving energy exchange and minimizing consumer purchase costs and line losses.

Distributed energy resources (DERs) are essential for coping with growing multiple energy demands. A microgrid (MG) is a small-scale version of the power system which makes possible the integration of DERs as well as achieving maximum demand-side management utilization. Hence, this study focuses on the analysis of optimal power dispatch considering economic aspects in a multi-carrier microgrid (MCMG) with price-responsive loads. This paper proposes a novel time-based demand-side management in order to reshape the load curve, as well as preventing the excessive use of energy in peak hours. In conventional studies, energy consumption is optimized from the perspective of each infrastructure user without considering the interactions. Here, the interaction of energy system infrastructures is considered in the presence of energy storage systems (ESSs), small-scale energy resources (SSERs), and responsive loads. Simulations are performed using GAMS (General Algebraic modeling system) to model MCMG, which are connected to the electricity, natural gas, and district heat networks for supplying multiple energy demands. Results show that the simultaneous operation of various energy carriers, as well as utilization of price-responsive loads, lead to better MCMG performance and decrease operating costs for smart distribution grids. This model is examined on a typical MCMG, and the effectiveness of the proposed model is proven.

석탄가스화복합발전소의 가스터빈 공기압축기와 공기분리장치 간의 최적 연계설계를 위한 매개변수 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 복수형 증류탑공정의 공기분리장치를 사용하였으며, 증류탑공정의 특성으로부터 압축기와의 연계조건인 공기추출량, 공기추출압력 및 공기/질소 열교환 조건들을 정의, 수식화하였다. 공기분리장치와 연계된 가스터빈용 공기압축기의 성능변화는 유선곡률방법과 압력손실모델을 결합한 해석방법을 사용하였으며, 예측결과들을 실제 압축기성능 시험결과와 비교하여 예측정확도를 검증하였다. 본 압축기성능 해석방법을 이용하여, 압축기와 공기분리장치의 연계조건인 열교환기의 핀치포인트 온도차, 추출공기량 및 추출 공기압력이 압축기성능에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 검토하였다. 공기추출량이 늘어나거나 핀치포인트 온도차가 커질수록, 압축기의 압축비 및 소요동력은 증가하였다. 반면에, 압축기 효율은 공기추출량의 증가에 따라 고압공기추출시에는 저하되고, 저압공기추출시에는 향상되었다. 더나아가, 압축기의 일반화된 입구조건과 효율간의 특성곡선을 통해, 압축기 효율을 극대화 할 수 있는 압축기/공기분리장치간의 최적연계조건을 제시하였다.

최근 하이브리드 전기자동차의 보급 확대에 따라 전기에너지 수요가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전기에너지 수요에 대응하기 위해 에너지 하베스팅 기술을 이용해 자가발전이 가능한 3가지 구조의 현가장치 적용 선형 발전 시스템을 ANSYS MAXWELL을 사용하여 전자기 시뮬레이션을 통해 각 구조의 발전 특성을 비교 분석 하였다. 다음으로 각 모델에 대해 상용 PIDO(Process Integration and Design Optimization)툴인 PIAnO(Process Integration, Automation and Optimization)을 사용하여 최적설계를 수행하였다. 3가지 설계변수를 선정하여 실험계획법 기법 중 직교 배열표(Orthogonal Array)를 이용해 도출한 18개의 실험 점에 대해 전자기 해석을 통해 완성한 실험계획법을 바탕으로 근사 모델을 생성하였으며 진화 알고리즘(Evolutionary Algorithm)을 이용한 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 마지막으로 초기 모델과 동일한 해석 조건을 사용해 최적 설계 결과 모델에 대한 전자기 시뮬레이션을 통해 최적설계 결과를 검증 하였다. 각 선형 발전기 모델에 대해 최적의 구조에 대한 발전 특성을 비교한 결과 8pole-8slot, 12pole-12slot, 16pole-16slot 구조에서 최대 발전량은 각각 366.5W, 466.7W, 579.7W로 slot, pole 조합 수가 많아질수록 발전량이 증가하는 결과를 확인하였다.

Looking at the recent studies, nuclear energy and carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions nexus shows inconclusive result. To further explain nuclear energy-pollution nexuses this study is an attempt to analyze the impact of nuclear energy on pollution reduction for BRICS countries covering data for the period from 1993 to 2017. This study conducts advanced panel techniques such as Continuously-Updated Fully-Modified (CUP-FM) and Continuously-Updated Bias-Corrected (CUP-BC) for long run estimation. Our results support the notion that nuclear energy reduce CO₂ emissions. Also, renewable energy corrects environmental pollution in BRICS countries. The magnitude of the coefficient of nuclear energy is less as compared to renewable energy, implying that nuclear is less effective in reducing environmental pollution. The findings offer significant policy understandings and suggestions not only for BRICS economies but for developing countries as well in designing suitable nuclear energy-growth-carbon policies.

Biomass has been used for energy sources from the prehistoric age. Biomass are converted into solid, liquid or gaseous fuels and are used for heating, electricity generation or for transportation recently. Solid biofuels such as bio-chips or bio-pellet are used for heating or electricity generation. Liquid biofuels such as biodiesel and bioethanol from sugars or lignocellulosics are well known renewable transportation fuels. biogas produced from organic waste are also used for heating, generation and vehicles. Biomass resources for the production of above mentioned biofuels are classified under following 4 categories, such as forest biomass, agricultural residue biomass, livestock manure and municipal organic wastes. The energy potential of those biomass resources existing in Korea are estimated. The energy potential for dry biomass (forest, agricultural, municipal waste) were estimated from their heating value contained, whereas energy potential of wet biomass (livestock manure, food waste, waste sludge) is calculated from the biological methane potential of them on annual basis. Biomass resources potential of those 4 categories in Korea are estimated to be as follows. Forest biomass 355.602 million TOE, agricultural biomass 4.019 million TOE, livestock manure biomass 1.455 million TOE, and municipal organic waste 1.074 million TOE are available for biofuels production annually.

$1.5\;{\mu}m$-thick copper films deposited on silicon wafers were successfully bonded at $415^{\circ}C$/25 kN for 40 minutes in a thermo-compression bonding method that did not involve a pre-cleaning or pre-annealing process. The original copper bonding interface disappeared and showed a homogeneous microstructure with few voids at the original bonding interface. Quantitative interfacial adhesion energies were greater than $10.4\;J/m^2$ as measured via a four-point bending test. Post-bonding annealing at a temperature that was less than $300^{\circ}C$ had only a slight effect on the bonding energy, whereas an oxygen environment significantly deteriorated the bonding energy over $400^{\circ}C$. This was most likely due to the fast growth of brittle interfacial oxides. Therefore, the annealing environment and temperature conditions greatly affect the interfacial bonding energy and reliability in Cu-Cu bonded wafer stacks.
