In this paper we propose a layout editor for the functional module generation in the Sea-of Gates(SOG) lay-out style. The proposed layout editor provides interactive was of designing a functional module to the designer so that the layout result is very satisfiable. Especially, the editor is independent on the shape of the basic cells in the gate array template, and provides semi-automatic layout methods as well as hand layout. It also has several special functions which are not able to find in other layout tools for the module generation, and hence the designer can generate modules very fast. The layout editors implemented in C language with X-win-dow Motif environment. When we compare our editor with the previous layout editor Seadali, the design time is reduced by a factor of two for several benchmark circuits.

Recently, it is increasing a amount of installized solar-cell rapidly, and waste Solar cell module are generated in according to the reduction of efficiency largely. Therefore, it is concerned at the environmental problems and recycling of valuable materials, greatly. The treatment processes of end-of-life photovoltaic modules are composed the disassembly of Aluminum frames, separation of Tempered glass, removal of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate and recovery of valuable Metals. For the efficient recycling, we are considered to the treatment technology seriously. And we are proposed on the general opinions according to the developing technology, EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) problems and promotion plans for the activation of recycling industry.

A cellular array parallel multiplier with parallel-inputs and parallel-outputs for performing the multiplication of two polynomials in the finite fields GF$(2^m)$ is presented in this paper. The presented cellular way parallel multiplier consists of three operation parts: the multiplicative operation part (MULOP), the irreducible polynomial operation part (IPOP), and the modular operation part (MODOP). The MULOP and the MODOP are composed if the basic cells which are designed with AND Bates and XOR Bates. The IPOP is constructed by XOR gates and D flip-flops. This multiplier is simulated by clock period l${\mu}\textrm{s}$ using PSpice. The proposed multiplier is designed by 24 AND gates, 32 XOR gates and 4 D flip-flops when degree m is 4. In case of using AOP irreducible polynomial, this multiplier requires 24 AND gates and XOR fates respectively. and not use D flip-flop. The operating time of MULOP in the presented multiplier requires one unit time(clock time), and the operating time of MODOP using IPOP requires m unit times(clock times). Therefore total operating time is m+1 unit times(clock times). The cellular array parallel multiplier is simple and regular for the wire routing and have the properties of concurrency and modularity. Also, it is expansible for the multiplication of two polynomials in the finite fields with very large m.

In general, the solar photovoltaic power increases with higher solar insolation. However, the solar cell generation efficiency reduces because the solar cell surface is heated by solar insolation. According to advanced research, with a $1^{\circ}C$ increase in the solar cell surface temperature, the generation efficiency decreases by ~0.5%. To solve this problem, we conducted experiments in which we attempted to reduce the solar cell surface temperature using a water jet spray. In this study, we found the long-term experimental results of increases in solar power generation. The experimental results show a comparison of the site with and without cooling and cleaning equipment being installed. The results of the long-term experiments show that solar photovoltaic power generation is increased by at least 13% up to 19% with cooling and cleaning.

Currently, lithium-ion batteries are mainly used in energy storage equipment products including automobiles. This can be exposed to dangerous situations such as explosions in the event of incorrect battery management conditions that are overcharged or left in high temperature conditions. It also causes a situation battery cannot be used when it has been over discharged. Therefore, a system that manages the state of the battery is required. The battery management system aims to obtain optimum battery efficiency by accurately recognizing the state of the battery and keeping the voltage of each cell constant. In this paper, we develop a lithium-iron phosphate battery that has higher safety than a general lithium-ion battery. Then, in order to manage this, we try to develop the algorithm of the BMS module based on the Bluetooth communication using the MATLAB-SIMULINK.

In this study, the outdoor evaluation test was performed to characterize the highly-reflective artificial grass to be used for bifacial photovoltaic (PV) power generation system. The 60-cell n-type Si monofacial and bifacial PV modules were employed, where two types of bifacial modules were equipped with split-type and box-type junction boxes, respectively. The results showed that the split-type junction box improved the rear-side power production and thus energy yield of bifacial module compared to the box-type junction box causing the shadow effect. Highly-reflective artificial grass achieved relatively high albedo of 0.18, and excellent bifacial gain of 33%, compared to conventional artificial grass with an albedo of 0.14-0.15, and bifacial gain of 29-30%.

In this paper, so as to improve spectral efficiency for cell-boundary users, we introduce a coordinated multi-point (CoMP) system, which is one of inter-cell cooperative transmission strategies studied in 3GPP long-term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) systems, and develop a system-level simulator to evaluate performance. To identify performance improvement of the system with inter-cell cooperative transmission, we select a 3GPP LTE system as a reference, which shows the highest performance among the existing mobile communication systems, and conduct a performance comparison. System-level simulation is performed based on widely-used OPNET tool. We implement modules including central unit (CU), CoMP eNodeB (CeNB), user equipment (UE), and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel model, while designing the inter-cell cooperative transmission system. Under WINNER wireless channel model and international telecommunication union (ITU) network model environments, we then evaluate the performance of edge users who belong to the lower 5% in terms of spectral efficiency. It is finally shown that throughput of the proposed CoMP system gets improved up to 2.5 times compared to that of the 3GPP LTE reference system.

공동주택에서 태양광발전(PV)을 통한 세대 전기에너지 이용은 모듈 설치 면적의 제약으로 인해 전 세대를 대상으로 활용하기에 현실적으로 어려움이 있다. 특히 남향이나 남동, 남서향으로 위치한 거실 창호를 활용하는 경우에도 결정질 실리콘(crystalline silicon) 태양전지 셀로 인한 실내 음영문제 등으로 건물통합형 태양광발전(BIPV) 시스템의 가시성을 확보하는데 한계가 있다. 따라서 이런 문제점을 극복하고자 투광형 비정질실리콘(amorphous silicon) 태양전지를 이용한 발코니창호/커튼월 BIPV 시스템을 구축하고, 테스트베드를 통한 적용성 평가 검증을 수행하였다. 테스트베드는 KCC 중앙연구소 1층 외부 측창에 결정질 BIPV 모듈(A2PEAK 사(社), 최대 출력 210 Wp, W 2,000 mm ${\times}$ H 1,066 mm)과 10% 및 30% 투광형 비정질 BIPV 모듈(Sharp 사(社) See Through type, 최대 출력 135 Wp/123 Wp, W 1,930 mm ${\times}$ H 1,180 mm)을 각각 설치(남서 $30^{\circ}$, 수직 $90^{\circ}$)하여, 2009년 5월에서 8월 사이 4개월에 걸친 모니터링을 통해 실제 발전량 데이터를 확보, 시스템에 대한 분석을 진행하였다. 분석 결과, 설치용량당 일평균 발전량은 결정질형이 1.46 kWh/kWp, 10% 투광형은 1.10 kWh/kWp, 30% 투광형은 0.73 kWh/kWp을 나타내었다. 10% 투광형과 30% 투광형의 모듈 성능 차이는 크지 않으나 발전량에 있어서는 큰 차이를 보였고, 10% 투광형의 설치용량당 일평균 발전량은 경정질형의 75.2% 수준으로 투광형 비정질실리콘 BIPV 시스템의 창호 적용 가능성을 확인하였다. 특히 세대 거실 창호를 통한 가시성 확보는 기존 결정질 BIPV 창호의 단점을 개선하였다. 건자재 일체화로 구축된 가시성확보 BIPV시스템 창호는 단위 세대별 적용이 쉽고, 공동주택에서 PV 시스템의 설치면적을 극대화시키므로 향후 Zero Energy 공동주택 구축에도 활용성이 클 것으로 기대된다.

Double-sided photovoltaic (PV) modules have received significant attention in recent years as a technology that can achieve higher annual energy production rates than single-sided modules. The shingled technology is a promising method for manufacturing high-density and high-power modules. These modules are divided by laser and joined with electrically conductive adhesives. The output efficiency of the divided cells depends on the division pattern and the electrode pattern, making it important to understand the output characteristics. In this study, the output characteristics of large-area double-sided light-receiving shingled cells with different split patterns and electrode patterns were investigated. The M6 size, with 6 divisions in the electrode pattern, had the highest efficiency when using 142 front fingers and 146 rear fingers. The M10 size, with 7 divisions, had the highest output when using 150 fingers equally in the front and rear. The M12 size, also with 7 divisions, showed the highest output characteristics when using 192 front fingers and 208 rear fingers.
