Recently, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) announced the development of first-of-a-kind(FOAK) and most advanced futuristic vertical city and named as 'The LINE'. The project will have zero carbon dioxide emissions and will be powered by clean energy sources. Therefore, a study was designed to understand which clean energy sources might be a better choice. Because of its nearly carbon-free footprint, nuclear energy may be a good choice. Nowadays, the development of very small modular reactors (vSMRs) is gaining attention due to many salient features such as cost efficiency and zero carbon emissions. These reactors are one step down to actual small modular reactors (SMRs) in terms of power and size. SMRs typically have a power range of 20 MWe to 300 MWe, while vSMRs have a power range of 1-20 MWe. Therefore, a study was conducted to discuss different vSMRs in terms of design, technology types, safety features, capabilities, potential, and economics. After conducting the comparative test and analysis, the fuel cycle modeling of optimal and suitable reactor was calculated. Furthermore, the levelized unit cost of electricity for each reactor was compared to determine the most suitable vSMR, which is then compared other generation SMRs to evaluate the cost variations per MWe in terms of size and operation. The main objective of the research was to identify the most cost effective and simple vSMR that can be easily installed and deployed.

Zero energy building is a self sufficient building that minimizes energy consumption through passive elements such as insulation, high performance window system and installing of high efficiency HVAC system and uses renewable energy sources. The Korea Government has been strengthening the building energy efficiency standard and code for zero energy building. The building energy performance is determined by the performance of building envelope. Therefore it is important to optimize facade design such as insulation, window properties and shading, that affect the heating and cooling loads. In particular, shading devices are necessary to reduce the cooling load in summer season. Meanwhile, BIPV shading system functions as a renewable energy technology applied in solar control facade system to reduce cooling load and produce electricity simultaneously. Therefore, when installing the BIPV shading system, the length of shadings and angle that affect the electricity production must be considered. This study focused on the facade design applied with BIPV shading system for maximizing energy saving of the selected standard building. The impact of changing insulation on roof and walls, window properties and length of BIPV shading device on energy performance of the building were investigated. In conclusion, energy consumption and electricity production were analyzed based on building energy simulations using energyplus 8.1 building simulation program and jEPlus+EA optimization tool.

Purpose: In Korea, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy performance standard of buildings is being reinforced with goals of Passive House until 2017 and Zero Energy House until 2025 in order to reduce emissions from buildings which constitute a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to achieve the target of Zero Energy House, it is certainly necessary to develop renewable energy that can replace cooling and heating energy occupying a significant amount of building energy consumption after increasing the energy performance firstly. Method: In this study, effects of heat in greenhouse heated by solar heating on indoor heating were analyzed by constructing a greenhouse in front of the Low Energy Building. Result: As a result, indoor temperature was increased by peak average $27.8^{\circ}C$, peak average $6.8^{\circ}C$ was increased from when heat in greenhouse has not been used for heating and indoor surface temperature was increased by average $5.1^{\circ}C$. It shows it can be possible to use heat in greenhouse for heating, if the heating effects can be same as this experimental result because Energy Saving-Type buildings such as Low Energy House or Passive House keep from 18 to $20^{\circ}C$ in winter. Therefore, even if energy supply is cut off by disasters and other reasons, cooling and heating can be possible for some time.

시스템 자원과 가용한 전력량이 한정적인 모바일 실시간 시스템은 시간제약의 만족뿐만 아니라 시스템 부하가 높을 때는 시스템 자원을 최대한 활용하고 시스템 부하가 낮을 때는 에너지 소모량을 줄일 수 있어야 한다. 멀티프로세서 실시간 스케줄링 알고리즘인 EDZL(Earliest Deadline until Zero Laxity)은 높은 시스템 이용률을 가지고 있으나 에너지 절감기법에 대한 연구가 매우 적다. 본 논문은 멀티코어 플랫폼에서 EDZL 스케줄링의 동적 전압조절(DVFS) 기법을 다룬다. 본 논문은 full-chip DVFS 플랫폼을 위한 동일속도와 per-core DVFS 플랫폼을 위한 개별속도 산정 기법을 제안한다. EDZL 스케줄 가능성 검사에 기반을 둔 이 기법은 단순하지만 효과적으로 태스크들의 수행속도를 오프라인에 결정할 수 있다. 또한 모의실험을 통하여 제안한 기법이 효과적으로 에너지를 절감할 수 있음을 보인다.

본 논문에서 우리는 음향신호에서 음성과 음악을 분류하는 음성/음악 분류실험에 사용되는 특징들간의 상호조합을 비교하였다. 음향신호는 3가지 (음성, 음악, 음성+음악)와 2가지 (음성, 음악)로 분류하였다. 실험은 멜캡스트럼, 에너지, 영교차를 특징으로 사용하였고, 음성/음악 분류성능이 가장 좋은 특징간 상호조합을 모색하였다. 분류 알고리즘으로는 Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM)을 이용하였으며, GMM에 의한 데이터 모델링 전에 각기 다른 특징들을 하나의 특징공간에서 결합하였다. 실험결과 3가지 분류기준 적용시에는 멜캡스트럼, 영교차 조합이 가장 좋은 결과 (음성: 95.1％, 음악: 61.9％, 음성+음악: 55.5％)를 보였고, 2가지 분류기준 적용시에는 멜캡스트럼, 에너지 조합과 멜캡스트럼, 에너지, 영교차 조합이 가장 좋은 결과 (음성: 98.9％, 음악: 100％)를 보였다.

The speed at which the SRM (Switched Reluctance Motor) makes a transition from chopping control to single pulse operation. (i.e., low speed to high speed operation). It is unsatisfied with performance at all operational regimes. In this paper, the operational performance of SRM can be improved by using current hysteresis control method. This method maintains a generally flat current waveform. At the high speed, the current chopping capability is lost due to the development of the back-EMF. Therefore SRM operates in single pulse mode. By using zero-current switching and zero-voltage switching technique, the stress of power switches can be reduce in chopping mode. When the commutation from one phase winding to another phase winding, the current can be zero as fast as possible in this period because several times negative voltage of DC-source voltage produce in phase winding. This paper is compared to performance based on energy efficient C-dump converter topology and the proposed resonant C-dump converter topology. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed circuit.

This paper presents the current limit strategy of voltage controller of delta-connected H-bridge static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) under an unbalanced voltage fault event. When phase to ground fault happens, the feasibility to heighten the magnitude of sagging phase voltage is considered by using symmetric transformation method in delta-structure STATCOM. And the efficiency to cover the maximum physical current limit of switching device is considered by using vector analysis method that calculate the zero sequence current for balancing the cluster energy in delta connected H-bridge STATCOM. The result is simple and obvious. Only positive sequence current has to be used to support the unbalanced voltage sag. Although the relationship between combination of the negative sequence voltage with current and zero sequence current is nonlinear, the more negative sequence current is supplying, the larger zero sequence current is required. From the full-model STATCOM system simulation, zero sequence current demand is identified according to a ratio of positive and negative sequence compensating current. When only positive sequence current support voltage sag, the least zero sequence current is needed.
