Furnace를 이용한 $POCl_3$ 확산 공정은 실리콘 태양전지 제작과정에서 일반적으로 이용되는 에미터 층 형성 공정이다. 하지만, 확산 공정을 통해 P-N Junction을 형성할 경우 전면과 후면의 contact현상이 발생하게 되고 이를 제거하기 위해 Edge isolation 공정을 거치게 된다. 최근에는 레이저로 V 모양의 홈을 형성하는 방법이 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 p-type 실리콘 웨이퍼 기판에 insulating barrier를 형성하여 edge isolation 공정을 없앤 Non-edge isolation공정을 제시한다. Non p-type 실리콘 웨이퍼에 insulating barrier를 형성한다. Insulating barrier가 형성된 BOE용액과 KOH에서의 견딤성 실험을 진행 하였다. 이후, p-type 단결정 실리콘 태양전지의 확산 공정을 진행하여 Non edge isolation 공정을 진행한 경우와 laser를 이용한 edge isolation 공정을 진행한 태양전지를 제작하여 특성을 비교하였다.

이종접합태양전지는 단결정 실리콘 기판 표면에 고품질 비정질 실리콘층을 적층함으로써 전기의 근원인 전하의 재결합 손실을 줄여 높은 개방전압을 얻을 수 있다는 특징이 있다. 초박형 태양전지는 기존 태양전지보다 뛰어난 광전변환 특성(Photovoltaic characteristic)을 가지고 두께가 얇아 제품 형상 시 자유도가 높아진다. 본 논문에서는 n-type Bare wafer($160{\sim}180{\mu}m$)를 이용하여 $50{\mu}m$의 웨이퍼를 제작하였다. a-Si:H(p)_a-Si:H(i)_c-Si(n)의 광흡수층 구조를 성막하여 cell을 제작하였다. 그 결과 Voc(Open Circuit Voltage)가 0.666, Jsc(Short-Circuit Current)가 34.77, FF(Fill Factor) 69.413, Efficency 16.07%를 달성했다.

서부 발전 태안화력발전소에 건설 예정인 IGCC Demo plant의 설계 자료를 근거로 석탄 가스화기의 정상 상태 전산모사를 PRO/II를 사용하여 수행하였다. 석탄을 PRO/II가 받아들일 수 있는 성분으로 바꾼 후 가스화기를 버너와 가스화기 본체의 두 부분으로 나누어 모델링하였다. 버너는 단열조건의 Gibbs Reactor로 모델링하였다. 모사 결과 산소가 완전 소진될 때까지 반응이 진행되는 것을 확인하였다. 가스화기는 char gasification 반응은 kinetic reaction equation으로, gas phase reaction은 equilibrium reactor로 모사하는 알고리듬을 개발 하였으나 PRO/II의 기능에 한계가 있어 간단한 Gibbs Reactor로 모사하였다. 가스화기는 membrane wall에 의하여 냉각되는 것을 고려하여 $1550^{\circ}C$의 균일한 온도에서 반응이 일어나는 것으로 고려하였다. 전산 모사 결과 주요 성분의 조성이 실제 syngas의 조성과 5% 정도 오차가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The steady and dynamic process model for an internal reforming molten carbonate fuel cell power plant is discussed in this paper. The dominant thermal and chemical dynamic processes are modeled for the stack module and balance-of-plant, including cathode gas preparation, heat recovery, heat loss (Each heat loss amount for the stack and MBOP is obtained from real plant data) and fuel processing. Based on dynamic model and control demand, PID controllers are designed in the whole system. By applying these controllers we can obtain temperature balance of stack and control system depending on changing steam to carbon ratio, air feed amount, and transient condition.

The climate of summer in Korea is quite hot and humid. Many studies have been carried out to reduce the energy required for operating a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier is mainly connected to the cooling system since it operates in the summer. Conventional dehumidification methods often require additional cooling and energy for dehumidification. In this study, a system for increasing the efficiency by applying a membrane was analyzed. Its energy saving effect was analyzed when it was applied to residential buildings. Economic efficiency was also evaluated. As a result of this study, 9.0% energy savings were achieved for residential buildings. The investment recovery period was 28.9 years. Such long investment recovery period was because the initial investment cost was excessive and annual energy saving only appeared in the summer.

Surface energies calculated from measured contact angles between several solutions and test samples, such as Si wafer, $Al_2O_3$, $SiO_2$, PTFE(Polytertrafluoroethylene), and DLC(Diamond Like Carbon) films, based on geometric mean method and Lewis acid base method. In order to relate roughness to adhesion force, surface roughness of test samples were scanned large area and small by AFM(Atomic Force Microscopy). Roughness was representative of test samples in large scan area and comparable with AFM tip radius in small scan area. Adhesion forces between AFM tip and test samples were matched well with order of roughness rather then surface energy. When AFM tips having different radius were used to measure adhesion force on DLCI film, sharper AFM tip was, smaller adhesion force was measured. Therefore contact area was more important factor to determine adhesion force.

Daylight dimming control system was analyzed for an indirect lighting system in a small office space with a double skin envelope system. Computer simulations were performed for photosensors with three shielding conditions. The photosensors were placed on the center of ceiling, and backwall. Three sky conditions defined by CIE were considered. Overall, control performance was not very excellent for all conditions. Fully-shielded photosensor achieved good control performance for some cases, but partially-shielded and unshielded photosensors failed to achieve target illuminance. The variation in desktop illuminance due to daylight was examined for a variety of daylight conditions. Linear correlation between desktop illuminance and photosensor illuminance was analyzed using ANOVA.

The operational characteristics of a metal hydride heat pump system are strongly dependent on the amound of hydrogen gas transferred by hydriding and dehydriding reactions between the reactors under dynamic conditions. A new metal hydride heat pump combined with hydrogen compressor was constructed and the dependency of its operating conditions on such as cycle time, amount of hydrogen to be transferred between two reacting metal hydride reactors, operating temperature, and heat transmission characteristics of the reactors was investigated to find the optimum operating efficiency. These conditions were also evaluated in connection with the cooling output and hydrogen compressor connected to the system in order to enhance the total efficiency.

To study catalytic activity and hydrogen embrittlement of Pd, Pt, Ni, and Cr in fuel cell electrode, we used density-functional theory. The calculation tools based electron density give much shorter calculation time and cheap costs. Maximum of bond overlap populations of each metal are 0.6539eV for Pd-H, 0.6711eV for Pt-H, 0.6323eV for Ni-H, 0.6152eV for Cr-H. Electron density of Cr has strongest in related metals, which shows strong localization of electron, implying anti hydrogen embrittlement behaviors.

In this study, a numerical method for fuel droplet evaporation in cylinder of S.I. engine is presented. This study was newly defined non-dimensional critical droplet lifetime and modeled heating and evaporation processes of fuel droplet during intake and compression stroke of gasoline engine. The simulation results show that simultaneous increase of gas temperature and pressure in compression stroke seems to have compensative effect on droplet gasification rate. The environment variations in cylinder have little effect on the fuel droplet gasification process. The droplet size for full evaporation at the end of compression stroke can be estimated using this program.
