기존의 진동에너지 하베스터는 한 주파수에서의 공진현상을 이용하여 에너지를 얻기 때문에 고정된 단일 주파수를 갖는 진동에너지로부터 전기에너지를 변환하는데 최적이지만 다양한 주파수를 포함하고 있는 파도와 같은 상하진동 에너지원으로부터 전기에너지를 얻는 데에는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 해결하기위해 파도가 갖는 무한한 상하진동 에너지로부터 전기에너지를 얻는 광대역 진동에너지 하베스터를 연구하였다. 광대역 진동에너지 하베스터는 부양체와 진동에너지 하베스터가 각각 파도에너지가 갖는 중심주파수에서 공진이 발생되도록 구성되어있다. 그 결과 기존 공진을 이용한 진동에너지 하베스터는 한 주파수에서만 진동에너지를 전기에너지로 변환할 때 효율을 극대화할 수 있는 반면, 제안한 방법은 다양한 주파수를 포함하고 있는 파도에너지로부터 전기에너지로 변환할 때도 효율을 극대화 할 수 있는 장점을 가진다.

Uranium and plutonium are required to be accounted in spent fuel head-end and major recovery area in pyro-process for safeguards purpose. The possibility of neutron resonance technique, as a nondestructive analysis, was simulated on isotopic fissile analysis for large scale process. Neutron resonance technique has advantage to distinguish uranium from plutonium directly in mixture. Simulation was performed on U235 and Pu239 assay in spent fuel and for scoping examination of assembly type. The resonance energies were determined for U235 and Pu239. The linearity in the neutron transmission was examined for the selected resonance energies. In addition, the limit for detection was examined by changing sample density, thickness and content for actual application. Several factors were proposed for neutron production and the moderated neutron source was simulated for effective and efficient transmission measurement. From the simulation results, neutron resonance technique is promising to analyze U235 and Pu239 for spent fuel assembly. An accurate fissile assay will contribute to an increased safeguards for the pyro-processing system and international credibility on the reuse of fissile materials in the fuel cycle.

The common vibration energy harvester effectively converts mechanical vibration to electric power at a specific resonance frequency that must match the ambient excitation frequency. The resonance frequencies of energy harvesters are fixed during the design process and could not be changed after fabrication. In this paper, we proposed the new frequency tuning which uses the rotatable spring in order to adjust the spring constants. By this tuning method, the resonance frequency of the system can simply be manipulated using spring rotation. The proposed energy harvester has been successfully tuned to a resonance frequency between 23 and 32 Hz. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed energy harvester could generate a maximum output power of $60{\mu}W$ with an acceleration of 0.5 g ($1g=9.81m/s^2$), and that the resonance frequency of the harvester was able to tune approximately 31.4%. When the proposed harvester was attached to an automobile engine, the maximum open circuit voltage of 1.78 Vpp was produced at 700 rpm.

We have demonstrated Forst-type resonance energy transfer (FRET) in the quasi-solid type dye-sensitized solar cells between organic fluorescence materials as an energy donor doped in polymeric gel electrolyte and ruthenium complex as an energy acceptor on surface of $TiO_2$. The strong spectral overlap of emission/absorption of energy donor and acceptor is required to get high FRET efficiency. The judicious choice of energy donor allows the enhancement of light harvesting characters of energy acceptor in quasi-solid dye sensitized solar cells which increase the power conversion efficiency. The enhanced light harvesting effect by the judicious choice/design of the fluorescence materials and sensitizing dyes permits the enhancement of photovoltaic performance of DSSC.

천연 탄탈의 중성자포획에 의한 공명에너지를 측정하기 위하여 교토대학의 원자로연구소의 46-MeV 전자선형가속기의 광핵반응에서 발생하는 중성자를 이용하였다. 중성자포획에서 발생되는 즉발감마선을 BGO($Bi_4Ge_3O_{12}$)섬광검출장치로 측정하였다. 검출장치는 탄탈 시료에서 발생되는 즉발감마선을 기하학적으로 모두 측정하도록 만들어져 있으며 측정되어진 전기적 신호를 탄탈의 중성자 공명에너지 동정하는 스펙트럼구성에 사용하였다. 연구에서 사용되어진 중성자의 에너지는 1 ~ 200 eV 영역에 대하여 각각의 공명에너지를 분석하였다. 중성자에너지 측정은 중성자 비행시간법(TOF: Time-of-Flight)을 통하여 측정하였다. 광핵반응을 통한 중성자발생에서는 고에너지영역에서 강한 제동복사선이 발생하므로 수 keV영역 이하 영역의 중성자에너지에 대해서만 중성자공명을 측정하였다. 얻어진 Ta에 대한 중성자 포획 공명에너지 측정결과는 이전의 실험에 의한 측정 결과들 및 ENDF/B-VI와 Mughabghab의 평가된 값들과 비교 및 검토를 하였다. 측정되어진 공명들은 4.28 eV에서 거대 공명들을 측정하였고 그 이상의 에너지 영역의 다른 공명들도 이론에 의해서 계산되어진 값들과 비교하였다. 144.3 eV를 제외한 공명들은 평가값들과 거의 일치하는 경향을 보였다.

Gd-157 material has very large neutron capture cross section in the thermal region. So it is very useful to shield material for thermal neutrons. Futhermore, in the neutron capture experiment and calculation, the neutron absorption and scattering are very important. Especially these effects are conspicuous in the resonance energy region and below the thermal energy region. In the case of very narrow resonance, the effect of scattering is to be more considerable factor. In the present study, we obtained energy dependent neutron absorption ratios of natural indium in energy region from 0.003 to 100 keV by MCNP-4B Code. The coefficients for neutron absorption was calculated for circular type and 1 mm thickness. In the lower energy region, neutron absorption is larger than higher region, because of large capture cross section (1/v). Furthermore it seems very different neutron absorption in the large resonance energy region. These results are very useful to decide the thickness of sample and shielding materials.

In this paper, the power transfer efficiency analysis based on the resonant repeater in a magnetic resonance wireless power transfer system is proposed. The efficiency of the magnetic resonance method was verified by comparing the general frequency with the resonance frequency. The resonance repeater was arranged to increase the efficiency and increase the transfer distance. When using resonant repeaters, the maximum efficiency increase is about 36.23[%] and the transfer distance was extended to more than 20[cm]. Through this study, confirmed the effect of using resonance repeaters in wireless power transfer system. As a result, it can be expected that the overall technology related to wireless power transfer system will be more valuable for energy-IT technology.

At the carbon dioxide capture process using the aqueous amine solution, degradation of absorbents is main factor to reducing the process performance. Also, degradation mechanism of absorbent is important for understanding the environmental risk, route of degradation products, health risk etc. In this study, the degradation products of MEA were studied to clarify mechanism in thermal degradation process. The degradation products were analyzed using a $^1H$ NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) and $^{13}C$ NMR. The analysis methods used in this study provide guidelines that could be used to develop a degradation inhibitor of absorbent and a corrosion inhibitor.

To maximize power generation and reduce the construction cost of a commercial utility-grade wind turbine, the size of the wind turbine should be large. The initial design of the 12 MW University of Ulsan(UOU) Floating Offshore Wind Turbine(FOWT) was carried out based on the 5 MW National Renewable Energy Laboratory(NREL) offshore wind turbine model. The existing 5 MW NREL offshore wind turbines have been expanded to 12 MW UOU FOWT using the geometric law of similarity and then redesigned for each factor. The resonance of the tower is the most important dynamic responses of a wind turbine, and it should be designed by avoiding resonance due to cyclic load during turbine operations. The natural frequency of the tower needs to avoid being within the frequency range corresponding to the rotational speed of the blades, 1P, and the blade passing frequency, 3P. To avoid resonance, vibration can be reduced by modifying the stiffness or mass. The direct expansion of the 5 MW wind turbine support structure caused a resonance problem with the tower of the 12 MW FOWT and the tower length and diameter was adjusted to avoid a match of the first natural frequency and 3P excitation of the tower.
