For efficient energy usage, the concept of demand response has been emerged and thereby Open Automated D emand Response(OpenADR) protocol is developed as a standard protocol to provide automated demand response. There have been emerging trends on the demand response services using the Internet of Things(IoT) for smart h ome energy management. In this smart home energy IoT environment, a lightweight protocol is needed rather tha n the existing HTTP/ XML based OpenADR protocol for demand response services since many small devices wi ll be interconnected. In this paper, we propose a lightweight OpenADR protocol based on CoAP protocol for pro viding demand response service in Smart Energy IoT environment, implement the proposed CoAP-based protocol, and analyzed the performance compared to existing HTTP/ XML-based OpenADR 2.0b protocol.

The experimental study for the performances of 100 kW marine current turbines (Horizontal Axis Turbine) has been conducted with three cases of 700 mm diameter model in PNU 100 m towing tank. Three cases of impeller have been designed according to the variation of section configuration and tip shape. The model tests have been carried out at different speed of revolution to find out the scale effect (Reynolds number effect). The designed rake impeller was the best among them in the efficiency point of view especially at high Tip Speed Ratio (TSR). The present study is expected to be extended to conduct at high reynolds number as well as the computational study for the validation.

Ultralow background gamma-ray measurement system was installed to measure and analyze gamma-rays emitted from environmental and swipe samples. The background reduction techniques applied on this system are the passive shielding to surround the HPGe detector, an active external anticosmic shield to shield cosmic-rays and the nitrogen gas supply to minimize the introduction of ubiquitous radon decay nuclei. The performance test result showed that the system background at energies between 50 keV and 2 MeV is reduced about $10^{-2}$ order and the MDA is so low as to be suitable for the environmental sample analysis. But it is appeared that the neutron produced by cosmic-ray increases the background at low energy region.

As multiprocessors have been widely adopted in embedded systems, task computation energy consumption should be minimized with several low power techniques supported by the multiprocessors. This paper proposes an energy-aware task scheduling algorithm that adopts both dynamic voltage scaling and power shutdown in multiprocessor environments. Considering the timing and energy overhead of power shutdown, the proposed algorithm performs an iterative task assignment and task ordering for multiprocessor systems. In this case, the iterative priority-based task scheduling is adopted to obtain the best solution with the minimized total energy consumption. Total energy consumption is calculated by considering a linear programming model and threshold time of power shutdown. By analyzing experimental results for standard task graphs based on real applications, the resource and timing limitations were analyzed to maximize energy savings. Considering the experimental results, the proposed energy-aware task scheduling provided meaningful performance enhancements over the existing priority-based task scheduling approaches.

Recently, smart sensors are used in various environments, and the implementation of ad-hoc sensor networks (ASNs) is a hot research topic. Unfortunately, traditional sensor network routing algorithms focus on specific control issues, and they can't be directly applied to the ASN operation. In this paper, we propose a new routing protocol by using the Q-learning technology, Main challenge of proposed approach is to extend the life of ASNs through efficient energy allocation while obtaining the balanced system performance. The proposed method enhances the Q-learning effect by considering various environmental factors. When a transmission fails, node penalty is accumulated to increase the successful communication probability. Especially, each node stores the Q value of the adjacent node in its own Q table. Every time a data transfer is executed, the Q values are updated and accumulated to learn to select the optimal routing route. Simulation results confirm that the proposed method can choose an energy-efficient routing path, and gets an excellent network performance compared with the existing ASN routing protocols.

Secondary energy conversion systems have been briskly developed owing to environmental issue and problems of fossil fuel. They are basically operated based on electro-chemical systems. In addition, ion exchange membranes are one of the significant factors to determine performance in their systems. Therefore, the ion exchange membranes in suitable conditions must be developed to improve the performance for the electro-chemical systems. These ion exchange membranes can be classified into various types such as cation exchange membrane, anion exchange membrane and bipolar membrane. Their membranes have distinct characteristics according to the chemical, physical and morphological structure. In this review, the types of ion exchange membranes and their fabrication processes are described with main characteristics. Moreover, applications of ion exchange membranes in newly developed energy conversion systems such as reverse electrodialysis, redox flow battery and water electrolysis process are described including their roles and requirements.

현재 사용되는 전력기기와 전기에너지로 구동되는 기기등은 환경 조화와 에너지 절약을 목표로 고전압 대용량화, 축소 소형화 및 고효율화가 진행되는 과정에 있다. 이런 기기들은 전위를 유지하기 위해서 전기절연기술이 필수적이다. 특히 전기절연재료의 역할이 중요해서 재료의 특성이 기기전체의 종합성능을 지배하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 몰드 변압기의 절연수지로 사용되는 에폭시 복합체와 마이크로 $SiO_2$와 Ag 각 시편의 열팽창률과 유전 특성 및 온도에 따른 절연파괴강도를 측정하여 열적 특성 및 전기적 특성을 검토하고 분석한다.

In this study, an anthracene cross-linker is introduced to enhance the catalytic activity of glucose oxidase (GOx) based catalysts and to increase the amount of enzyme loading. The crosslinked GOx is bonded with the CNT/PEI support using the electrostatic interaction (AC[CNT/PEI/GOx]). Electrochemical evaluations are done to evaluate the performance of this catalyst and the performance of CNT/PEI/GOx catalyst is also measured as a control. According to the measurements, it is confirmed that the amount of loaded GOx increases, while $K_m$ value calculated by Lineweaver-Burk plot shows that AC[CNT/PEI/GOx] ($K_m$ : 0.73 mM) is superior to CNT/PEI/GOx ($K_m$ : 1.71 mM) without cross-linking reaction. Based on these effects, it is demonstrated that the maximum power density of the enzymatic biofuel cell using AC[CNT/PEI/GOx] increases from $21.2{\mu}W/cm^2$ to $57.4{\mu}W/cm^2$.
