The green craze has hit all the world lately. The green revolution which means immense changes for sustainable development under the new environment-economy system is foretelling that we should have new angle to the environment and economy. This paper is about the development of the model and indicators for construction of ECO(Energy Circulating Organic)-Village which is the green growth option of local community. This model is composed of three concepts - SPDC (about procedural methodology of Model), Virtuous Circle (about functional relationships of three requisites), Network (about spatial relationships between communities) - and evaluation indicators. Environment, tourism, industry (Energy & Organic Agriculture) are set as the three requisites for green growth of local community. Nations of the world plunge into the green war which is silent, general, sweeping changes. We can not win this war with the existing thinking system and policy. We need revolutionary changes reconsidering of environmental value and sustainable development strategy of the region. Each of us should go through the changes and this work would be the one among those efforts.

The Water, Energy, and Food (WEF) nexus is an emerging concept for sustainable resources planning and management. The three valuable resources are inevitably interconnected, that is, it takes water to produce energy; it takes energy to extract, treat, and distribute water; and both water and energy are required to produce food. Although it is challenging to fully understand the complicated interdependency, a few studies have been devoted to interpret the concept and develop the assessment tools. The tools were mainly developed for nation-wide simulations without considering inter-basin or inter-state resources trade. This study tries to present an idea to develop and implement the WEF nexus simulation model in regional scale by advancing the existing nation-wide model with additional capability to simulate the inter-basin trade. This simulation could help local planners and engineers to determine optimal policies and infrastructure solutions to reach and ensure local demand satisfaction. The simulation model is implemented in hypothetical areas with different conditions of WEF demands and supplies. Although the inter-basin trade scenarios are simulated manually, it shows that the inter-basin resources trade could enhance the resources security for a longer time period. In future, an optimization model might be developed to provide the automatic calculation to reach optimum amount of WEF for the trade, which can be a helpful tool in decision making process.

In the present study, the characteristics of conductive and convective heat transfer occurred in a circular absorber of PTC (parabolic trough concentrator) for medium temperature solar energy utility were numerically investigated. A circular tube was considered as an absorber and the shape of PTC modeled in this study was based on the system that was installed in Korea Institute of Energy Research. Not only convection inside the tube but also conduction through the wall of the tube were analyzed, simultaneously. Circumferentially non-uniform heat flux that was simulated from the non-uniform solar disc model proposed by Jose was applied as thermal boundary condition on the tube surface. And, hydrodynamically fully developed laminar velocity profile was used as the inlet boundary condition and it was assumed that the working fluid was water. And, local heat fluxes at the interface of the tube and the working fluid were calculated for different wall thickness and thermal conductivity of the tube at various Reynolds number. Based on the results, the effects of thermal conduction of the tube on the local heat transfer were investigated.

The possibility of energy harvesting as well as controlled vibration of a three-layered beam consisting of two piezoelectric layer and one core layer made of nonpiezoelectric material is investigated using paradox-free local/nonlocal theory. The three-layered nanobeam is resting on an elastic foundation and subjected to a blast load. Also, the core layer is made of Nano-composites reinforced by CNTs and carbon fibers (MHCD). Governing equations as well as boundary conditions are obtained using Hamilton,s principle. The equations discretized by Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) and solved by Newmark beta method. In addition, two differential and integral gains are employed for controlling the forced vibration. The size-dependency of the elastic foundation is considered using two-phase elasticity. The effect of elastic foundation, control gains, nonlocal factor, as well as parameters affecting the core material on the forced vibration and energy harvesting is investigated in detail. The equations as well as solution procedure is validated utilizing some compassion studies. This work can be a basis for future studies on energy harvesting and controlled vibration in small scales.

본 연구에서는 동절기 시설원예 난방에너지 절감을 위해 방울토마토의 온도민감부인 생장부를 추종하면서 난방을 수행할 수 있는 국소난방 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 방울토마토 생장부 추종형 국소난방시스템은 온실하류로의 균일한 열분배를 위해 내/외부 덕트와 온풍난방기를 연결하는 이중덕트 분배장치, 정식 후 작물 유인에 따라 덕트를 토마토 줄기끝 생장점과 개화화방을 추종하여 상하로 이동시키기 위한 권취장치 등으로 구성되었다. 국소난방 시스템의 운용은 토마토 정식 직후에는 덕트를 작물 상부에 위치시키며 작물 생장에 따라 생장부 국소난방과 차광 회피를 위해 덕트를 상하로 이동시켰다. 방울토마토 수경재배 온실을 대상으로 생장부 국소난방구와 관행의 바닥덕트 난방구에 대해 난방성능과 작물생육 비교시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 생장부 국소난방구는 야간 난방시간에 작물 군락내 상부 기온이 하부에 비해 $0.9{\sim}2.0^{\circ}C$ 높으며, 바닥덕트 난방구에 비해 군락상부 기온은 $0.3{\sim}1.8^{\circ}C$ 높고, 하부 기온은 $1.4{\sim}1.8^{\circ}C$ 낮게 나타나 온도에 민감한 상부 생장부를 상대적 고온으로 관리하고, 군락하부는 상대적 저온으로 관리 가능하며, 관행 바닥덕트 난방구의 높이별 온도분포를 역전시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 토마토 군락에 대한 적외선 열화상 측정을 통해 정식 직후부터 줄기내림 유인재배기간에 걸쳐 생장부 국소난방구는 군락내에 높이별 엽온의 온도성층화를 형성하여 생장부 추종 국소난방이 가능함을 확인하였다. 난방방식별 작물생육 분석결과 초장을 제외한 나머지 항목은 유의적인 차이가 없었으며, 수확량에서도 생장부 국소난방구가 초기 수량이 약간 우세하였으나 총 수확량은 동일한 수준으로 나타났다. 온풍난방비 경유소비량은 생장부 국소난방구가 군락의 높이별 최적 온도관리로 관행 바닥덕트 난방구에 비해 약 23.7% 절감되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 시스템은 길이 90m 온실에 대한 적용시험에서 열분배 성능의 한계로 온실 상/하류간 온도편차가 발생하였으며, 시스템 개선을 위해 내부덕트의 직경 또는 두께 상향, 열복사 억제 재질의 덕트 사용 등 열분배 성능 최적화를 위한 추가연구가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.

Fracture behaviors of pipes with local wall thinning are very important for the integrity of nuclear Power Plant. In Pipes of energy Plants, sometimes, the local wall thinning may result from severe erosion-corrosion (E/C) damage. However, the effects of local wall thinning on strength and fracture behaviors of piping system were not well studied. In this paper, the monotonic bending tests were performed of full-scale carbon steel pipes with local wall thinning. A monotonic bending load was applied to straight pipe specimens by four-point loading at ambient temperature without internal pressure. From the tests, fracture behaviors and fracture strength of locally thinned pipe were manifested systematically. The observed failure modes were divided into four types; ovalization. crack initiation/growth after ovalization, local buckling and crack initiation/growth after local buckling. Also, the strength and the allowable limit of piping system with local wall thinning were evaluated.

The objective of this study is to propose a color plan for rural villages that seeks harmony between natural and artificial environments in consideration of the fact that as new and renewable energy businesses increase drastically, problems of landscape color occur in rural areas. To this end, the current color conditions over the target regions are examined in context of energy businesses; a land simulation is developed; a survey on the preferences is conducted with the result analyzed; and finally, a color plan for villages where energy businesses and non-energy businesses are conducted. For the survey, 40 photos including simulation photos and original photos of villages were used: the photos before and after the simulation was applied were shown to village residents. The validity of the selected colors was then evaluated accordingly. The survey was conducted among 15 residents in villages where energy businesses were conducted and 15 in villages where non-energy businesses were conducted. As new and renewable energy methods such as solar energy panels are utilized over rural villages in the future, selecting artificial environmental colors that can better represent the region's identity and that are in harmony with natural environments will be an important factor in community center or housing remodeling projects, local community development projects, and so forth. It is expected that the present study can be utilized as the basis for village color plans that seek to consider actual local conditions based on objective data rather than selecting colors uniformly or based on subjective judgment.

An aerodynamic optimization design process of multistage axial turbine is presented in this article: first, applying quasi-three dimensional(Q3D) design methods to conduct preliminary design and then adopting modern optimization design methods to implement multistage local optimization. Quasi-three dimensional(Q3D) design methods, which mainly refer to S2 flow surface direct problem calculation, adopt the S2 flow surface direct problem calculation program of Harbin Institute of Technology. Multistage local optimization adopts the software of Numeca/Design3D, which jointly adopts genetic algorithm and artificial neural network. The major principle of the methodology is that the successive design evaluation is performed by using an artificial neural network instead of a flow solver and the genetic algorithms may be used in an efficient way. Flow computation applies three-dimensional viscosity Navier Stokes(N-S) equation solver. Such optimization process has three features: (i) local optimization based on aerodynamic performance of every cascade; (ii) several times of optimizations being performed to every cascade; and (iii) alternate use of coarse grid and fine grid. Such process was applied to optimize a three-stage axial turbine. During the optimization, blade shape and meridional channel were respectively optimized. Through optimization, the total efficiency increased 1.3% and total power increased 2.4% while total flow rate only slightly changed. Therefore, the total performance was improved and the design objective was achieved. The preliminary design makes use of quasi-three dimensional(Q3D) design methods to achieve most reasonable parameter distribution so as to preliminarily enhance total performance. Then total performance will be further improved by adopting multistage local optimization design. Thus the design objective will be successfully achieved without huge expenditure of manpower and calculation time. Therefore, such optimization design process may be efficiently applied to the aerodynamic design optimization of multistage axial turbine.

This work was designed for the Green Fund Aid 2004 of Korea Forest Service. It won the prize and has been constructed. We can have an opportunity to play a leading role in improving partnership with participation of local communities, promoting environmental education, and enhancing the environmental quality by constructing biotops in urban areas where energy flow in the ecosystem is not balanced. This design includes 'citizen participation process' and 'local community partnership' that is expected to promote local community participation in the process of design. This work suggests that biotope construction with citizen involvement and community partnership plays an important role not only in design items but also in the revitalization of local community. This sort of design process could not be fully achieved without cooperation with stakeholders - environmental specialists, local authorities, relevant societies, schools, teachers, parents of students.

이 연구의 목적은 산림바이오매스를 이용한 에너지 시설의 경제적 타당성을 검토한 것이다. 산림청 산림에너지자립마을 사업의 자료를 이용하여 에너지 시설의 운영 수지를 분석하였다. 에너지 시설은 열병합 발전기와 목재칩 보일러로 구성되며 목재칩을 연료로 사용한다. 목재칩은 목재펠릿보다 발열량이 낮지만 가격도 낮다. 시설 운영의 수입은 전기, 열, REC로 구성되며 추가로 화석연료 대체에 의한 탄소배출권을 고려하였다. 비용에는 연료비용과 고정비용이 포함되며, 초기 시설투자는 매몰비용으로 간주하였다. 가동률 55%, 목재칩 가격 95,000원/톤의 조건에서 에너지 시설의 연간 순수입은 양으로 나타났다. 시설 운영의 중요한 요소는 가동률과 연료비용이다. 두 요소를 조정하면서 시뮬레이션한 결과 가동률 50%, 목재칩 가격 100,000원/톤의 조건에서 연간순수입은 음으로 나타났다. 운영 수지를 개선하기 위해 가동률을 올리거나 연료 가격을 낮추는 노력이 필요하다. 탄소배출권을 판매한다면 시설 운영의 수익성을 개선한다. 또, 산림바이오매스의 에너지 이용을 촉진하기 위해 재생에너지로 공급한 열에 가격 보조를 할 필요가 있다.
