A microgrid can play a significant role for enlargement of renewable energy sources and emission reduction because it is a network of small, distributed electrical power generators operated as a collective unit. In this paper, an application of optimization method to economical operation of a microgrid is studied. The microgrid to be studied here is composed of distributed generation system(DGS), battery systems and loads. The distributed generation systems include combined heat and power(CHP) and small generators such as diesel generators and the renewable energy generators such as photovoltaic(PV) systems, wind power systems. Both of thermal loads and electrical loads are included here as loads. Also the emissions trading scheme to be applied in near future, the cost of unit start-up and the operational characteristics of battery systems are considered as well as the probabilistic characteristics of the renewable energy generation and load. A mathematical equation for optimal operation of this system is modeled based on the mixed integer programming. It is shown that this optimization methodology can be effectively used for economical operation of a microgrid by the case studies.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the efficiency of government investment in the deployment and technological development of three technological areas - wind power, photovoltaic and fuel cell - of renewable energy in Korea using the DEA (data envelopment analysis). The efficiencies of government investment in renewable energies are measured and compared among three kinds of technologies using the actual data during 2007~2009. In the present DEA model, R&D investment and government subsidies for renewable energy usage promotion are selected as input variables, and the number of patents, supply level, and the production cost as output variable. As a result, it is found that the wind power is the most efficient renewable energy in Korea in the perspective of the efficiency of government investment.

Among the alternative energy sources, the solar energy is recognized as an important energy source and its application is increasing. Especially in future, the hybrid solar energy generation system with battery will be widely used as an independent distributed power generation system. In this paper, a solar power hybrid home generation system using a contactless power supply (CPS) that can transfer an electric power without any mechanical contact by using magnetic coupling instead of the power transfer by directly supplying the DC power to the home electric system is proposed. The proposed system consists of a ZVS boost converter, a half bridge LLC resonant converter and contact-less transformer.

The development of diesel power generation is predominantly geared toward island areas or ships because diesel exhibits weak scale-merit characteristics and power quality problems, which are associated with environmental pollution. However, a new energy paradigm, distribution energy resource (DER), has been emerging as a renewable energy source due to the existing structural problems in waste disposal and complex factors such as the conversion technology of waste emulsified oil (WDF). By combining extended producer responsibility (EPR) support and renewable energy certificates (REC), including waste energy REC 0.25 for other bioenergy and REC 1.0 for power transactions, an adequate profit model can be built through self-energetic power generation, thereby drawing keen attention from related industries. Therefore, if WDF is used appropriately as a high-quality engine fuel, it can lead to the development of various fields such as novel renewable energy sectors, waste management, and EPR-related industries. This study is intended to produce WDF using plastic waste by using it as engine-generator fuel. Moreover, we investigate ways to improve the quality and suitability of WDF as an engine fuel.

Increasing energy prices and growing concerns about global warming address the need to improve energy self-sufficiency in many industrial and municipal sectors. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are representative of energy-consuming facilities in Korea, accounting for 5% of national energy consumption. We present renewable energy technologies and energy self-sufficiency scenarios in a municipal WWTP ($30,000m^3d^{-1}$) located in Yongin, South Korea. By employing photovoltaics (PV, 135 kW), small hydropower turbine (10 kW), and thermal energy from treated effluent (25 RT: refrigeration ton) within the WWTP, a total of 142 tonne of oil equivalent (toe) of energy was estimated to be generated, accounting for $365ton\;CO_2\;yr^{-1}$ of greenhouse gas emission reduction. Core renewable technologies under consideration include 1) hybrid solar PV system consisting of fixed PV, dual-axis PV, and building integrated PV, 2) low-head small hydropower plant specifically designed for treated effluent, 3) effluent heat recovery system for heating and air conditioning. In addition to these core technologies, smart operation and management scheme will be presented for enhancing overall energy savings and distribution within the WWTP.

에너지 다소비원인 공공하수처리시설은 기후협약에 따른 온실가스 저감시설로서의 그 역할이 증대되고 있다. 환경부는 '하수처리시설 에너지 자립화 계획'을 통해 2015년까지 에너지 자립율 18%를 목표로 하고 있으며, 이를 위해서는 신재생에너지를 이용한 능동적 에너지 생산이 필요하다. 소수력발전은 공급 안정성이 우수하고 소수력발전은 일정한 처리수가 방류되는 하수처리장에 적용되었을 때 그 가동율은 하천에서의 소수력발전에 비하여 우수하다고 알려져 있으며, 향후 하수처리장에 널리 보급될 수 있는 청정에너지원이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기흥 레스피아에서 처리되는 하수를 이용한 소수력발전이 검토되었다. 최근 5년간 방류량 자료를 살펴보면 기흥 레스피아의 일평균 실제 처리량은 약 $30,000m^3/day$로 나타났으며, 우수 유입과 물 사용량이 증가하는 여름 및 가을에 처리량이 증가하였다. 설계유량은 유량변화에 따른 누적 확률밀도와 유량지속곡선에 근거해 산정하였으며, 시간빈도(T)로 보았을 때 26%의 유량이 지속되는 $0.35m^3/s$를 설계유량으로 선정하였다(그림 1). 또한 이를 기반으로 성능특성을 분석한 결과, 단위낙차당 수차발전기의 용량은 2.4kW이며, 시스템 가동율은 74%, 그리고 연 전력생산량은 16.6MWh로 나타났다(그림 2).

현재 세계적으로 화석연료의 고갈로 인해 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 모아지고 있다. 그중에서 태양전지가 가장 주목을 받고 있으며 태양전지는 크게 무기와 유기 태양전지로 구분된다. 실리콘 및 화합물 반도체를 이용한 무기 태양전지는 높은 에너지 변환 효율을 보이고 있으나 생산단가가 높아 화석연료로부터 얻는 에너지에 비해 경제성이 떨어진다. 그중에서 유기 태양전지는 무기 태양전지의 효율에는 미치지 못하지만 제작공정의 비용이 낮고, 투명하고 다양한 색을 나타낼 수 있으며, 특히 유연성을 바탕으로 원하는 제품의 디자인을 구현 할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. Inverted 구조는 conventional 구조에 비해 Al과 같은 air-sensitive한 전극을 대체 할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 sol-gel상의 ZnO를 스핀코팅 방법으로 박막을 형성하여 inverted 구조 형태의 유무기 하이브리드 태양전지를 제작하였으며, ZnO 코팅 공정 조건 (두께, 열처리 온도)에 따른 태양전지의 특성변화(광 변환효율 및 수명 등)를 관측하였다. 최적화된 ZnO의 공정조건에서 제작된 하이브리드 태양전지는 3% 이상의 광 변환효율과 1000시간 이상의 반감 수명을 가지는 우수한 특성을 보였다.

The whole world concentrates on the reduction of greenhouse gas to effectively cope with policy toward global climate change. To effectively react to climate change, even the agricultural sector requires construction of new farming systems that utilizes new and renewable energy because of rising oil prices and regulations for greenhouse gas emissions. For this reason, we need to fuse the new and renewable energy with the horticulture sector of which the light and heat energy cost accounts for great part, moreover, efforts and researches should me done which can increase income of farmers through reducing carbon dioxide and energy cost in agricultural production expenses. Therefore, this study analyzes economic feasibility and applicability of fusing geothermal heat pump and solar power facilities with high-tech glass greenhouse. As a result, it is concluded that there surely are an applicability and economic feasibility if we apply new development system that can be an alternative for problems of securing premises of existing geothermal heat pump and the RPS system as a power generation company in case of solar power. Therefore, using this analysis data, if new empirical studies fusing and implementing agriculture sector with new and renewable energy fields proliferate and be applied to actual rural and agricultural field, it will increase actual income and will become a new advanced agricultural system that effectively deals with world-wide environmental problems.
