가스하이드레이트(gas hydrate)는 고압과 저온 조건에서 물분자간의 수소결합으로 형성되는 3차원 격자구조에 동공(cavity)이라는 빈 공간이 생기고 이 동공에 가스가 물리적으로 포획되어 생성되는 것으로, 수소결합을 하는 물의 격자(Host) 내에 메탄등의 저분자가스(Guest)가 포획된 결정체이다. 가스 하이드레이트는 미량의 물을 첨가, 가압하면 부피비로 약 200배의 가스를 고상의 형태로 저장할 수 있으며, 열역학적으로 안정된 결정체이기 때문에 하이드레이트로 존재하기 위한 최소한의 온도, 압력조건이 충족되면 고상으로 항구적인 존재가 가능할 수 있어 가스의 수송 및 저장에 높은 경제성을 가지는 방법이다. 현재 운영중인 전국의 242개소 매립지 중에서 발전 및 연료로 활용가능한 조건을 같춘 자원화 대상 매립지는 약 14곳에 불과한 형편이고 이들 중 대부분 시설은 자원화 시설을 운영하고 있으나. 중소규모 매립지에서 발생하는 LFG에 대하여 효율적인 이용 및 처리 방안이 없어 태워 없어지거나 방치하는 등 매립가스를 활용하는 기술은 미흡한 실정이다. 이러한 LFG는 많은 환경적인 문제를 야기하지만, 50vol% 이상의 고농도 메탄이 함유되어 있어 이를 대체에너지원으로 이용할 경우 환경적인 문제를 해결함과 동시에 신재생에너지원으로 활용 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 중소규모 매립지에서 발생하는 LFG를 활용하기 위하여 하이드레이트 형성/해리 Pilot plant의 제작을 통하여 $CH_4$와 $CO_2$(단일, 복합가스의 실험)의 하이드레이트화 연구를 진행 중이다.

This paper examines a blockchain network-based transaction system using location proofing in power direct transactions between networked energy clouds, energy communities, and prosumer machines participating in smart cities. It utilizes location-based blockchain network technology, which enables long-distance travel with recharging by power purchases during autonomous movements, autonomous electric vehicles that can purchase and sell electricity, and solar street lights that can be produced and sold in fixed form. In addition, it is possible to provide optimum power transaction matching and settlement reliability between machines without human intervention in power transactions between electric chargers. It also introduces a business-to-object business model between autonomous machines that exist in multiple and different spaces and through energy clouds that are expected to be scattered with various transaction prices, policies, and incentives.

Spectrum sensing is a critical functionality of Cognitive Radio(CR) systems and the CR systems can be applied to RF energy harvesting systems to improve an energy harvesting rate. There are number of spectrum sensing techniques. One of techniques is energy detection. Energy detection is the simplest detection method and is the most commonly used. But, energy detection has a hidden terminal problem in real wireless communication, because of secondary user (SU) can be affected by frequency fading and shadowing. Cooperative spectrum sensing can solve this problem using spatial diversity of SUs. But it has a problem of increasing data by processing multiple secondary. So, we propose the system model using adaptive spectrum sensing algorithm and system model is simulated. This algorithm chooses sensing method between single energy sensing and cooperative energy according to the received signal's Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) from Primary User (PU). The simulation result shows that adaptive spectrum sensing has an efficiency and improvement in CR systems.

Recent development in wireless communication and mobile positioning technologies make geosensor networks widely used in the various fields of real world. As a result, much research has been done on the middleware that uses limited energy resources efficiently. However, because traditional middleware does not consider the characteristics of sensor node, such as computing power and specification, the existing middleware call not support the sensor nodes with only the restricted system resource. Therefore, in this paper, we design and implement a new Bytecode based Data Service Middleware supporting energy efficiency in geosensor networks. At first, the proposed middleware provides the optimized functions for sensor nodes by using minimum by tee ode instruction set and data manager supporting hardware abstraction. Secondly, the proposed middleware increases the energy efficiency of sensor node through both data aggregation query processing and data filtering that minimize data transmission by eliminating unnecessary data. Finally, we show from our performance analysis that the proposed middleware is more energy efficient than the existing SwissQM.

A TBM is an equipment that excavates a tunnel with a full face by rotating a circular cutter head and its advantages are fast excavation rate and safe construction. A TBM, which is primarily used for tunnel excavation on civil construction sites, is easily adaptable to information and communication technology. Research related to unmanned and automated technology is being actively pursued. TBM applications for mining and energy resource development in other countries were investigated in this study. The difference of TBM applications between the mining and energy resource development and civil construction sites was examined. Technical factors such as geological conditions, depth, site access, TBM launching, alignment and inclination, TBM size, and others that should be considered when choosing a TBM were investigated. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of TBM application in mines and the technical requirements for TBM for successful mine application are summarized.

How to determine the extent of national energy security? In this paper, we estimate it by comparative analysis of South Korea and other OECD countries in terms of energy diversity (fuel diversity). Energy security consists of 4 key factors such as availability, accessibility, acceptability, affordability. Especially the importance of accessibility can grow as local imbalance of supply and demand increases. As a proxy of the accessibility, fuel diversity can be a significant indicator to estimate a measure of energy security. In this paper, we use Shannon-Wiener index to measure energy diversity. If fuel diversity increases, the stability of energy security also should increase, because of the smoothing effect to lessen dependence on key energy sources. In 2012 Korean growth rate of H-index (energy diversity) is 18.38%, which is higher than other OECD countries. However, Korean H-index itself is 1.93, lesser than other countries. Shift from oil to coals/gas within fossil fuels has more impact on H-index than weight transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies in Korea. We conclude that more renewable energy is an effective solution to achieve higher energy diversity and ultimately higher energy security as the same as the German case.

Providing adequate amount of spatial impression for spaciousness) has been known to be one of the most important design considerations for the good acoustics of rooms for music. and the measurement, of room acoustics using parameters. such as LEF and IACC, forms an essential part of such evaluation. However. it is unavoidable to use different transducers (figure of eight microphones. head and torso) for the measurement of each parameter and it tends to make the measurement procedure complicated. The Present work tried to provide a simpler way to measure these binaural room acoustic parameters including monaural ones with a single measurement system using both spatial information collected through a 5-channel microphone and a trained neural network. A computer simulation program, CATT-Acoustic V7.2. which allowed us to obtain exactly the same spatial information as a 5-channel microphone was used. since it requires quite a large amount of data for practical training of a neural network. Since each reflection has different energy. delay and direction, energy should be integrated properly. the concept of ray tracing method was applied inversely in this work. Also applying weightings according to the delay times was considered in this work. Finally, predicted results were compared with the measured data md their correlations were analyzed and discussed.

In this paper, for spatial multiplexing with limited feedback, we propose subspace method based preceding in which the active bases are selected at the receiver from a finite number of basis sets Down at both receiving and transmitting ends, conveyed to the transmitter using limited feedback, and assembled into a preceding matrix at the transmitter. The selected bases are conveyed to the transmitter using feedback information on both the index of the selected basis set, which defines the most appropriate set of coordinates for describing a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel, and the principal bases maximizing the capacity in the selected basis set. We show that the proposed subspace method based preceding provides a capacity similar to that of the closed-loop MIMO even with limited feedback.

In this study, the algorithms for multichannel format conversion and robust representation of spatial sound information are proposed. In the spatial analysis, the directional information of sound source is estimated and sound sources are separated from stereo signal. In the spatial resynthesis, the multichannel matrixing with spatial repanning and post-scaling method are applied to represent a spatial sound. The conventional method about channel format conversion has the problem that the energy of sound source and the spatial information are not preserved in the desired channel format. Because the proposed method is designed in consideration of the target multichannel format and its resynthesized signal, the robust representation of spatial sound can be achieved in the multichannel format conversion.

In this paper, for spatial multiplexing with limited feedback, we propose subspace based precoding in which the active bases are selected at the receiver from a finite number of basis sets known at both receiving and transmitting ends, conveyed to the transmitter using limited feedback, and assembled into a preceding matrix at the transmitter. The selected bases are conveyed to the transmitter using feedback information on both the index of a basis set, which indicates the most appropriate set of coordinates for describing a MIMO channel, and the active bases having the significant amounts of energy in the selected basis set. We show that the proposed subspace based precoding provides capacity similar to that of the closed-loop MIMO even with limited feedback.
