정부는 2006년 8월 기존의 발전차액 지원제도를 개정하여 발전차액 기준가격 지원대상 확대, 적용기간의 15년 단일화, 수력, 바이오에너지는 고정요금과 변동요금 중에서 선택할 수 있는 선택권 부여, 기술발전에 따라 태양광, 풍력, 연료전지는2-3년간의 유예기간 이후 매년 감소율을 적용하여 기준가격을 낮추는 등 많은 제도개선 내용을 반영하였다. 2006년 10월부터 개정된 발전차액 지원제도가 시행된 이후 태양광, 풍력의 신규진입이 대폭 증가하였고 수력, LFG, 바이오가스는 대부분 변동요금을 신청하였으며 2007년 집행된 신재생에너지 발전차액 기반기금의 55% 이상이 태양광발전에 지급되는 편중현상의 영향이 나타났다. 따라서 변동요금 설계시보다 SMP 평균이 22원 이상 높아져 변동요금의 재설계, 태양광 발전의 기반기금규모가 55% 이상을 점유하고 있으며 향후 더욱 심화될 예정이므로 특정전원의 기반기금 점유비중 제한 및 최근 수년간 준공된 신재생에너지의 운영실적을 분석하고 법적요건을 상세히 검토하여 투자비, 운영비, 이용률등을 재조정하여 기준가격을 합리적으로 개정하여 제2의 신재생에너지 도약기를 마련해야 할 것이다.

환기부족 구획화재에서 CO의 생성은 온도 및 조성에 큰 영향을 받으며, 구획 내의 체류시간 및 이동경로에 따라 복잡한 현상을 경험하게 된다. 그 결과 구획 내부의 CO 생성특성을 실험을 통해 상세하게 규명하는 것은 많은 한계가 있다. 이러한 배경 하에 본 연구에서는 환기부족 구획화재의 조건에서 총괄당량비에 따른 CO의 생성특성에 관한 수치해석 연구를 수행하였다. PSR(완전혼합반응기) code와 헵탄연료의 상세화학반응기구가 사용되었다. 주요 변수로서 체류시간, 온도, 반응물과 생성물의 혼합정도 그리고 열손실 등이 CO의 생성에 미치는 독립적 영향을 검토하였다. 추가로 주요반응에 의한 CO의 몰 생성률 및 소모율과 CO의 반응경로 분석을 통해 환기부족 구획화재의 조건에서 구체적인 CO 생성특성에 관한 이해가 시도되었다.

HSF1 is the heat shock transcription factor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. S. cerevisiae KNU5377 can ferment at high temperature such as $40^{\b{o}}C$. We have been the subjects of intense study because Hsf1p mediates gene expression not only to heat shock, but to a variety of cellular and environmental stress challenges. Basing these facts, we firstly tried to construct the hsf1 gene-deleted mutant. PCR-method for fast production of gene disruption cassette was introduced in a thermotolerant yeast S. cerevisiae KNU5377, which allowed the addition of short flanking homology region as short as 45 bp suffice to mediate homologous recombination to kanMX module. Such a cassette is composed of linking genomic DNA of target gene to the selectable marker kanMX4 that confers geneticin (G418) resistance in yeast. That module is extensively used for PCR-based gene replacement of target gene in the laboratory strains. We describe here the generation of hsf1 gene disruption construction using PCR product of selectable marker with primers that provide homology to the hsf1 gene following separation of haploid strain in wild type yeast S. cerevisiae KNU5377. Yeast deletion overview containing replace cassette module, deletion mutant construction and strain confirmation in this study used Saccharomyces Genome Deletion Project (http:://www-sequence.standard.edu/group/yeast_deletion_project). This mutant by genetic manipulation of wild type yeast KNU5377 strain will provide a good system for analyzing the research of the molecular biology underlying their physiology and metabolic process under fermentation and improvement of their fermentative properties.

This paper proposes a novel three-phase current-fed active clamp DC-DC converter for fuel cells. A single common active clamp branch is used to limit transient voltage across the three-phase full bridge and to realize zero-voltage switching(ZVS) in all switches. To apply for the power generation system current-fed type has been combined with the three-phase power conversion system. The proposed approach has the following advantages: an increase (by a factor of three) of input current and output voltage chopping frequencies; lower RMS current through the inverter switches with higher power transfer capability; reduction in size of reactive later components and the power conditioning system; better transformer utilization; increase of the system reliability. Therefore, the proposed three-phase current-fed active clamp DC-DC converter is appropriate for the boost type DC-DC converter for fuel cells and also applicable for the photovoltaic and battery charge system. The paper details the analysis, simulation and hardware implementation of the proposed system. Finally, experimental results with the proposed PWM strategy demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme on a 500W prototype converter.

Earthwork is a basic operation for all forms of civil works and affects construction time, cost and productivity. It is a mechanized operation that needs various construction equipment as a group and uses a lot of fuel for construction equipment. But, the problem is that earthwork operation is usually performed by equipment operator's heuristic and intuition, which can cause low productivity, high fuel consumption, and high carbon dioxide emission. As one of solutions for this problem, the fleet management system for construction equipment is suggested for effective earthwork planning, optimal equipment allocation, efficient machine operation, fast information exchange, and so forth. The purpose of this research is to suggest core methods for developing the equipment fleet management system. The methods include 3D solid parametric model generation, soil distribution using Cctree data structure, equipment fleet construction and equipment fleet operation. A simulation test is performed to verify the effectiveness of the equipment fleet management system in terms of equipment operating ratio, fuel usage, and $CO_2$ emission.

The fuel oil/heat exchanger installed in military aircraft is a device that cools the lubricant oil supplied to other devices, such as an AMAD, and a hydraulic pump using the low temperature of the fuel is cracked at the AMAD lubricant inlet port. If a crack in the heat exchanger occurs, the lubricant oil supplied to other equipment is not cooled. Therefore, the flight can no longer be performed. In this study, non-destructive inspection and microscopic examination of the fracture surface of the oil port were performed to analyze the crack tendency. The oil pipe connected to the oil port is a titanium pipe, which is fastened with over torque and has been identified as the leading cause of heat exchanger oil port cracks. In addition, it was verified as the main reason for cracking by finite element analysis. The material and diameter of the pipe were changed to improve this defect, and the applied torque was adjusted. In addition, the bending value of the pipe was adjusted to minimize the fatigue accumulation due to pulsating pressure. As a result, no cracks occurred on the heat exchanger via the ground test after the installation of an improved pipe under the same conditions.

This study revisits the meaning of energy security by examining the oil market supply and demand conditions of petroleum products and refinery capacity of three Northeast Asian countries(Korea, China, Japan). In 2006, 10.6 million bid of excess demand occurred and is expected to be 15~22 million bid by the year 2030 in this regional oil market. Different oil demand is caused mainly by the different demands for various petroleum products based on each country's economic structures. If the demands are ranked according to their petroleum products, Chinese case shows gasoil > gasoline > fuel oil> LPG > naphtha > Kero/jet and Japanese case shows gasoil > gasoline> naphtha> Kero/jet > fuel oil > LPG, while Korean case shows naphtha> gas oil > fuel oil > LPG > Kero/jet > gasoline, respectively. Total CDU(Crude Distillation Unit) capacity of three northeast asian countries also have been examined in this respect. This study points out the importance of the information on oil demand and supply, on petroleum products and refinery capacities of the three Northeast Asian countries to enhance the security of the oil market in this region.

In this study, ethanol pool fire extinguishing experiments were conducted using a twin-fluid nozzle. Ethanol pool fires, 5.027×10^-3 ㎡ and 1.131×10^-2 ㎡ in size (80 mm and 120 mm in fuel pan diameter, respectively), were tested, and the flow rates supplied to the twin-fluid nozzle for fire extinguishing were 156-483 g/min and 20-70 L/min for water and air, respectively. The heat release rate increased with increasing fire source area, and heat release rates of 5.027×10^-3 ㎡ and 1.131×10^-2 ㎡ in size were measured to be 1.01 kW and 5.51 kW, respectively. For both fire source cases in the present experimental range, regardless of the water flow rates, the ethanol fires were extinguished successfully under the high air flow rate condition (e.g., above 40 L/min). On the other hand, under all water flow rate conditions, the fire extinguishing time and water consumption decreased with increasing air flow rate, which were approximately 23 s and 185 g under high air flow rate conditions (e.g., above 50 L/min), respectively. Based on the water consumption per heat release rate, the present experimental data were compared with the previous ones using a single-fluid nozzle, and it was found that the twin-fluid nozzle could extinguish a fire with a lower water consumption than a single-fluid one.

In this study, a method for CO reduction using char-coal combustions was developed with lignin and glycerin as combustion improvers. The relationship between CO emission and the combustion improvers was confirmed by measuring the CO concentration. The experiment to determine the combustion characteristics was conducted using glycerin, which shows high combustibility at low temperatures, impregnated with lignin, which has a specific surface area. The combustibility, volatility, and CO concentration were measured using thermo-gravimetric analysis(TGA), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS). This study presents the optimal CO reduction ratio, which occurred when the combustible material contained a 20% blend of combustion improvers. This resulted in a 20-30% CO reduction rate compared to that achieved with normal char-coal.

The conventional natural gas engine realized lean combustion for the improved efficiency. However, in order to cope with exhaust gas regulations enforced gradually, the interest has shifted at the stoichiometric mixture combustion system. The stoichiometric mixture combustion method has the advantage of a three-way catalyst utilization whose purification efficiency is high, but the problem of thermal durability and the fuel economy remains as a challenge. Hydrogen-natural gas blend fuel (HCNG) can increase the rate of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) because the hydrogen increases burning speed and lean flammability limit. The increase in the EGR rate can have a positive impact on heat resistance of the engine due to the decreased combustion temperature, and further can increase the compression ratio for efficient combustion. In this study, to minimize the exhaust emission developed HCNG engine with stoichiometric combustion method, developed three-way catalyst was applied to evaluate the conversion characteristics. The tests were carried out during the steady state and transient operating conditions, and the results were compared for both the conventional and proto-three-way catalyst of HCNG engine for city buses.
