PURPOSES : This study is to suggest future development direction and application of environmental noise barriers as multi-functional soundproof wall. METHODS : Based on the literature review, case study and patent search, research and patent trend were investigated. Patent search was conducted by Patent searching tools, 'Focust'. RESULTS : As environmental noise barriers, Vegetative soundproof wall, photovoltaic soundproof wall, and air-pollution reduction soundproof wall were investigated. First of all, In Korea, Vegetative soundproof wall is being developed mostly as soundproof wall that has vegetation foundation inside, to meet the domestic condition with 23 patent applications. Second, Photovoltaic soundproof wall is being developed mainly with efficiency of photovoltaic system rather than soundproofing. And it is limited to one generation solar cell technology, although Solar cell technology is developing at a rapid pace. On the other hand, for reducing air-pollutant by soundproof wall, a variety of methods are being suggested (filtration, adsorption, and photocatalytic oxidation), and one of them, adsorption are applied for developing air pollution reduction soundproof wall in Korea. CONCLUSIONS: The above soundproof wall is not simple structure, but road facility applied fusion technique. Therefore, as one system, it is difficult to harmonize due to various considerations for design factor. However, if it's possible that a benefits of one system apply to another system, Synergy effect may be created. In the foreseeable future, soundproof wall may be considered as a road system using fusion technique rather than just functional facility. Therefore, substantial studies for applying multi-functional soundproof wall on the road are needed for the future.

대부분의 건물일체형 태양광 발전 시스템(BIPVS; Building Integrated Photovoltaic System)은 건물의 옥상이나 벽면에 설치된다. 따라서 BIVPS의 설치 위치 선정 시 고려해야할 가장 중요한 요소는 주변 건물에 의한 그림자 영향이다. 그러나 지면 위에 있는 방음벽에 태양광 시스템을 설치할 경우, 그림자는 주변 건물은 물론 가로수에 의해서도 생성된다. 따라서 방음벽 일체형 태양광 발전 시스템(SIPVS; Soundproof wall Integrated Photovoltaic System)의 설치 적합지를 선정하기 위해서는 BIPVS의 경우와 다른 데이터 모델 및 알고리즘이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 수치표면모형 기반의 방음벽 일체형 태양광 시스템의 설치 적지 분석을 다룬다. 첫째, 설치 후보지(태양광 패널)의 연간 태양 입사각과 고도각을 계산한다. 둘째, 설치 후보지의 시간대 별 그림자 생성 여부를 수치표면모형을 이용하여 결정한다. 셋째, 그림자가 생성되지 않은 시간대의 태양 입사각을 이용하여 일사량을 계산한다. 일사량의 연간 누적 비교를 통하여 일사량이 충분한 곳을 SIPVS의 설치 적합지로 결정할 수 있다. 제안된 알고리즘은 시작품 형태로 구현(Java Program)되었다. 실험 결과, 총 아홉 곳의 후보지에 대한 설치 적합도의 순서를 결정할 수 있었다. 제안된 알고리즘은 건물의 낮은 위치에 설치할 BIPVS의 적정 설치위치 및 기대 전력 생산량의 계산에도 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The Korean government announced various energy policies, such as the to reduce 37% of the business-as-usual (BAU) greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The policies aim to increase the renewable electricity generation ratio to 20% by 2030. PVT is a hybrid technology, which combines photovoltaic (PV) and solar collectors. It is capable of generating electricity and thermal energy simultaneously. It has a great potential to be used as a renewable and clean solar energy. However, there exists a shortage of space for the installation of PVT systems in Korea. To overcome this, in this paper proposes four types of soundproof wall PVT air channels, which were designed and optimized, based on the CFD (Computation Fluid Dynamic) analysis results. The thermal energy generation for multiple PVT units connected in series and pressure drop sensitivity were analyzed, depending on inlet velocity.
