위상절연체(Bi2Te3)와의 격자상수 불일치 비율이 서로 다른 Si (111)와 Ge (111) 기판을 선택하여 Bi3Te3 박막의 성장 조건을 찾고 이에 따른 특성 분석을 수행하였다. 시료 제작은 초고진공 분위기에서 MBE를 이용하였고, AFM, XRD와 XPS로 각각 구조적 변화, 결정 상태 및 화학적 상태를 분석하였다. 우선 Si 위에 형성된 Bi2Te3의 경우, 초기 박막이 형성된 후, 증착 시간이 증가함에 따라 섬(island)모양의 구조물들이 step edge 부분에 분포되는 모습을 AFM 이미지에서 확인하였다. 형성된 박막의 스텝 단차는 약 1 nm 또는 이 값의 정수 배였고, 이것은 Bi2Te3 unit cell의 quintuple layer (QL) 값과 일치하였다. 또한 측정된 XRD pattern으로 Bi2Te3가 hexagonal 구조의 c-축에 따라 결정성이 이루어졌음을 확인할 수 있었다. XPS 스펙트럼에서는 Bi 4f가 높은 에너지 방향으로 2.3 eV, Te 3d는 낮은 에너지 방향으로 약 0.7 eV 만큼 구속 에너지의 화학적 이동이 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 Si 위에 Bi2Te3 박막이 높은 결정성을 가지고 형성되었다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 Si (111) 기판보다 Bi2Te3 결정과 격자상수 불일치의 비율이 상대적으로 작은 Ge (111)을 기판으로 하여 Bi2Te3 박막을 성장시켜 두 표면에서의 박막 성장의 특성을 비교, 논의할 것이다.

A climate change by increase of greenhouse gas is coming to the front by a large issue, and oxy-combustion demonstration project is coming to the attention to one plans for the reduction of carbon dioxide in power generation sector that used a fossil energy in points of time. This paper estimates benefit of electric generation, benefit of greenhouse gas reduction, benefit of environmental pollutant decreasing and domestic and foreign market value-added benefit caused by oxy-combustion demonstration project. Furthermore, this paper attempts to cost-benefit analysis, using NPV, B/C ratio, IRR techniques for oxy-combustion demonstration project. The results indicate that NPV is 681,620million KRW, B/C ratio 1.69 and IRR 21.4%. Accordingly, oxy-combustion demonstration project ensures economic feasibility that the three indicators have exceeded 0, 1.0 and 5.5%. Moreover, uses of the result is useful for the reduction of carbon dioxide in thermal power generation sector of policy decision.

RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standards) is an institutional device to promote use of renewable energy through market mechanism by making renewable energy to constitute a pre-announced portion of the electricity production. We measure economic impacts of the introduction of RPS to domestic electricity market at the levels of electricity market, individual industrial sectors and the economy as a whole. First, we examine the TREC(Tradable Renewable Energy Credits) market, where the credits in excess of the obligation of the renewable energy production are sold to those who have to meet the obligation through purchased credits. We then measure end-users' additional cost originating from the introduction of RPS and TREC in electricity production, and their impacts on price and supply in the retail electricity market. Next, using input-output analysis, we measure economic impacts of the changes in retail price and supply on individual industrial sectors and the economy as a whole. Among many others, we find small price effect and large GDP effect - sectoral electricity price rises at around 5%, sectoral price level rises by 0.258%, and sectoral GDP declines by 1.940% on average by the year 2011.

In Korea ranking sixth out of The world's greenhouse gas emissions, all Korean public buildings have to implement obligatorily renewable energy systems for energy production to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the energy consumed in operation, maintenance and management of buildings. The optimum combination and application rates for each energy source emerge from analyzing the trend of previous studies and the energy consumption is simulated by using a dynamic energy simulation program and the initial investment costs, the energy costs, the maintenance costs, the replacement costs emerge based on the calculated result. The result show that the total life cycle cost of 100% gerthermal is the lowest with \ 2,105,974,344 on the analysis results.

Energy management systems (EnMS) contribute to sustainable energy saving and greenhouse gas reduction by emphasizing the role of energy management in production-oriented economies. Although understanding the methods used to measure energy performance is a key factor in constructing successful EnMS, few attempts have been made to examine these methods, their applicability, and their utility in practice. To fill this research gap, this study aimed to deepen the understanding of energy performance measures by focusing on four energy performance indicators (EnPIs) proposed by ISO 50006, namely the measured energy value, ratio between measured values, linear regression model, and nonlinear regression model. This paper presents policy and managerial implications to facilitate the effective use of these measures. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) analysis was conducted with 41 experts to analyze the preference for EnPIs and their key selection criteria by the industry sector, and organization and user type. The findings suggest that the most preferred EnPI is the ratio between the measured values followed by the measured energy value. The ease of use was considered to be most important while choosing EnPIs.

In wireless sensor networks(WSNs) individual sensor nodes are subject to security compromises. An adversary can physically capture sensor nodes and obtain the security information. And the adversary injects false reports into the network using compromised nodes. If undetected, these false reports are forwarded to the base station. False reports injection attacks can not only result in false alarms but also depletion of the limited amount of energy in battery powered sensor nodes. To combat these false reports injection attacks, several filtering schemes have been proposed. The statistical en-routing filtering(SEF) scheme can detect and drop false reports during the forwarding process. In SEF, The number of the message authentication codes(threshold) is important for detecting false reports and saving energy. In this paper, we propose a dynamic threshold determination method for energy efficient SEF using fuzzy-logic in wireless sensor networks. The proposed method consider false reports rate and the number of compromised partitions. If low rate of false reports in the networks, the threshold should low. If high rate of false reports in networks, the threshold should high. We evaluated the proposed method’s performance via simulation.

This study was conducted in order to investigate body awareness and dietary life according to gender. Subjects of the study were 120 men and 127 women aged 20 to 30 years, who exercise regularly at a fitness center in Seoul. The subjects were asked to fill out a questionnaire on body awareness, reason for regular exercise, dietary behaviors, and nutrition knowledge. The percentage of overweight and obesity was 69.2% in men, and 25.2% in women. The percentage of subjects who considered themselves as overweight was 38.3% in men and 59.8% in women. Intake of protein in men was higher than the recommended nutrient intake (RNI). Intake of energy in women was lower than the estimated energy requirement (EER). Men who considered themselves as overweight showed lower energy intake than men who considered their body weight as under and normal, whereas no difference in energy intake was observed between women who considered themselves as overweight and women who considered their body weight as under and normal.

Energy consumption is steadily increasing, and buildings in particular account for more than 20% of the total energy consumption around the world. As an effort to cost-effectively manage the energy consumption of buildings, many research groups have recently focused on Smart Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS), which are deepening the research depth by applying artificial intelligence(AI). In this paper, we propose a reinforcement learning-based energy control method for smart energy buildings integrated with V2G station, which aims to reduce the total energy cost of the building. The results of performance evaluation based on the energy consumption data measured in the real-world building shows that the proposed method can gradually reduce the total energy costs of the building as the learning process progresses.

현재 농업부산 폐자원은 퇴비, 가축사료 등의 단순 활용이 대부분을 차지하고 있어, 열분해 가스화를 통한 고효율 에너지 이용 시스템 개발로 기존 단순 활용에 그치던 농업부산 폐자원의 고부가가치 이용이 절실히 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 초본계 농업부산물인 왕겨를 이용한 열분해 가스화 시스템에 대한 특성 파악 및 초본계 농업부산물을 이용한 에너지자원화 및 고효율 에너지 이용을 위한 방안을 모색하고자 다양한 조건에서 전산해석을 수행하였다. 공정해석에 사용된 왕겨는 수분함량 11.33%, 회분함량 10.66%, 가연분 함량, 78.01%의 조성으로, 발열량은 LHV 기준으로 3,729 kcal/kg 였다. 상용해석 프로그램을 사용하여 열분해로의 열손실, 투입되는 시료의 가스화 반응 비율 변화, 열분해 가스화 반응의 산화제로 사용되는 공기의 유량 변화에 따른 발생되는 가스의 유량, 성상, 온도 특성을 파악하였다.
