온실가스 다량 배출로 인한 지구온난화 현상은 많은 분야에서의 변화를 요구하고 있다. 특히 온실가스 배출의 주원인으로 꼽히고 있는 발전 등 에너지산업 분야의 경우 그 요구는 매우 거세다. 과거에는 경제성장이라는 측면만 고려하면 됐지만, 지금은 기후변화 대응을 위해 환경을 최우선적으로 고려할 것을 주문하고 있기 때문이다. 문제는 현재 전 세계적으로 약 20%에 이르는 인구가 전기 에너지를 사용하지 못하고 있다는 점이다. 즉 향후 에너지를 사용하고자 하는 신규 소비자는 더욱 늘 것이고, 산업의 발전으로 인한 에너지 소비 역시 큰 폭으로 증가할 수밖에 없다. 문제가 굉장히 어렵지만 해결책도 분명 존재한다. 결론적으로 말해 온실가스 배출을 최소화하면서도 에너지 효율은 높인 기술을 개발하면 되는 것이다. 그리고 이미 세계 각국은 청정에너지 기술개발을 위해 다각도의 노력을 펼치고 있는 상황이다. 그렇다면 세계 각국은 미래 에너지시장을 선도할 청정에너지 기술로 어떤 것을 꼽고 있을까. 이 질문에 대한 대답은 지난 5월 서울에서 개최된 '제5차 클린에너지장관회의(CEM, Clean Energy Ministerial)'에서 제시된 바 있다. CEM은 한국, 미국, 영국, 독일, 중국, 일본 등 세계 에너지의 70%를 사용하는 주요 국가의 관계 장관들이 모여 클린에너지 공급 확대와 에너지효율 향상을 위한 구체적 액션플랜을 논의하는 자리다. 2010년 미국에서 첫 회의가 열렸고 아랍에미리트, 영국, 인도에 이어 한국은 5번째로 CEM을 개최했다. 특히 이번 CEM에서는 회원국들의 의견을 모아 10대 청정에너지 혁신기술을 최초로 선정, 발표했다. CEM은 "향후 10년 간 에너지 시장의 변화를 선도할 유망 기술을 선정한 것으로 IEA 등 국제기구와 주요국 기술 로드맵을 기준으로 해 23개 회원국 회람을 거쳐 최종 확정하게 됐다"고 배경을 설명했다. 이번에 선정된 10대 청정에너지 혁신기술은 ${\triangle}$초고압직류송전 ${\triangle}$에너지저장장치 ${\triangle}$바이오연료 ${\triangle}$마이크로 그리드 ${\triangle}$탄소포집 및 저장 ${\triangle}$초고효율 태양광 발전 ${\triangle}$해상풍력 ${\triangle}$신재생에너지 하이브리드시스템 ${\triangle}$빅데이터 에너지관리시스템 ${\triangle}$지열 시스템이다. 이와 관련해 산업통상자원부 윤상직 장관은 "이번에 선정된 10개의 기술은 최근의 기술적 정책적 추세가 잘 반영된 결과"라고 평가했다. 특히 윤 장관은 "중앙집중형 공급원에서 분산형 전원으로의 변화, 에너지 효율향상의 중요성, ICT와 융 복합 추세 등 우리나라의 상황에서 시사하는 바가 크다"며 "현재 수립하고 있는 '제3차 국가에너지기술 개발계획'에 이러한 기술적 추세를 반영하겠다"는 의사를 표명했다. 향후 10년 간 에너지시장의 변화를 선도할 10대 청정에너지 유망기술을 자세히 소개한다.

Physical experiment through MBL has been used in many schools for a long time since students can check the experiment results immediately and conduct the experiment easily. However, conducting the experiment, not knowing the principle of the device or simply concentrating on the derived data has been raised as the problem of MBL experiment. To supplement this problem, this study measured the acceleration of gravity with the picket fence method, which is often used in MBL experiment, utilizing Arduino, calculated the error rate through a comparison to the actual acceleration of gravity and discussed the educational application of the experiment to measure it. As a result of the experiment, the error rate between the acceleration of gravity calculated by the experiment and the actual acceleration of gravity was about 1%, so it turned out that relatively accurate measurements were possible. Also, the sample mean of the experimental value was included in the confidence interval of 95%, so it could be concluded that it was a significant experiment. In addition, this study showed the possibility of the educational application of the experiment to measure it through the following: It can supplement the structural disadvantages of MBL; it can consider the interaction between Physics and Math; it is possible to converge with information course in STEAM education; and it is inexpensive to be equipped with the equipment. Hopefully, the physical experiment utilizing Arduino will further be revitalized in science gifted education based on this study.

Recently, the technology of device-to-device(D2D) communication has been receiving big attention to improve the system performance since the amount of high quality/large capacity data traffic from smart phones and various devices of Internet of Things increase rapidly in 5G/6G based next generation cellular networks. However, even though the system performance of macro cells increase by reusing the frequency, the performance of macro user equipments(MUEs) decrease because of the strong interference from D2D user equipments(DUEs). Therefore, this paper proposes a dynamic channel management(DCM) scheme for DUEs to guarantee the performance of MUEs as the number of DUEs increases in next generation downlink cellular networks. In the proposed D2D DCM scheme, macro base stations dynamically assign subchannels to DUEs based on the interference information and signal to interference and noise ratio(SINR) of MUEs. Simulation results show that the proposed D2D DCM scheme outperforms other schemes in terms of the mean MUE capacity as the threshold of the SINR of MUEs incareases.

The small and medium sized enterprises (hereinafter SMEs) are already at a competitive disadvantaged when compared to large companies with more abundant resources. Manufacturing SMEs not only need a lot of information needed for new product development for sustainable growth and survival, but also seek networking to overcome the limitations of resources, but they are faced with limitations due to their size limitations. In a new era in which connectivity increases the complexity and uncertainty of the business environment, SMEs are increasingly urged to find information and solve networking problems. In order to solve these problems, the government funded research institutes plays an important role and duty to solve the information asymmetry problem of SMEs. The purpose of this study is to identify the differentiating characteristics of SMEs that utilize the public information support infrastructure provided by SMEs to enhance the innovation capacity of SMEs, and how they contribute to corporate performance. We argue that we need an infrastructure for providing information support to SMEs as part of this effort to strengthen of the role of government funded institutions; in this study, we specifically identify the target of such a policy and furthermore empirically demonstrate the effects of such policy-based efforts. Our goal is to help establish the strategies for building the information supporting infrastructure. To achieve this purpose, we first classified the characteristics of SMEs that have been found to utilize the information supporting infrastructure provided by government funded institutions. This allows us to verify whether selection bias appears in the analyzed group, which helps us clarify the interpretative limits of our study results. Next, we performed mediator and moderator effect analysis for multiple variables to analyze the process through which the use of information supporting infrastructure led to an improvement in external networking capabilities and resulted in enhancing product competitiveness. This analysis helps identify the key factors we should focus on when offering indirect support to SMEs through the information supporting infrastructure, which in turn helps us more efficiently manage research related to SME supporting policies implemented by government funded institutions. The results of this study showed the following. First, SMEs that used the information supporting infrastructure were found to have a significant difference in size in comparison to domestic R&D SMEs, but on the other hand, there was no significant difference in the cluster analysis that considered various variables. Based on these findings, we confirmed that SMEs that use the information supporting infrastructure are superior in size, and had a relatively higher distribution of companies that transact to a greater degree with large companies, when compared to the SMEs composing the general group of SMEs. Also, we found that companies that already receive support from the information infrastructure have a high concentration of companies that need collaboration with government funded institution. Secondly, among the SMEs that use the information supporting infrastructure, we found that increasing external networking capabilities contributed to enhancing product competitiveness, and while this was no the effect of direct assistance, we also found that indirect contributions were made by increasing the open marketing capabilities: in other words, this was the result of an indirect-only mediator effect. Also, the number of times the company received additional support in this process through mentoring related to information utilization was found to have a mediated moderator effect on improving external networking capabilities and in turn strengthening product competitiveness. The results of this study provide several insights that will help establish policies. KISTI's information support infrastructure may lead to the conclusion that marketing is already well underway, but it intentionally supports groups that enable to achieve good performance. As a result, the government should provide clear priorities whether to support the companies in the underdevelopment or to aid better performance. Through our research, we have identified how public information infrastructure contributes to product competitiveness. Here, we can draw some policy implications. First, the public information support infrastructure should have the capability to enhance the ability to interact with or to find the expert that provides required information. Second, if the utilization of public information support (online) infrastructure is effective, it is not necessary to continuously provide informational mentoring, which is a parallel offline support. Rather, offline support such as mentoring should be used as an appropriate device for abnormal symptom monitoring. Third, it is required that SMEs should improve their ability to utilize, because the effect of enhancing networking capacity through public information support infrastructure and enhancing product competitiveness through such infrastructure appears in most types of companies rather than in specific SMEs.
