건물일체형 태양전지 (BIPV; building integrated photovoltaics)나 야외 태양광 발전 차양 등의 태양광 발전에는 기존의 유리 기판 태양전지보다 가볍고 유연한 flexible 박막 태양전지가 설치하고 운영하는데 적합하다. 이러한 flexible 박막 태양전지는 자동차나 휴대기기의 전원이나 배터리의 충전기기로도 쓰이며 그 수요가 증가 추세에 있다. 특히, flexible Cu(In, Ga)$Se_2$(CIGS) 박막 태양전지는 기존의 flexible 실리콘 박막 태양전지보다 효율이 높아서 앞으로 성장 잠재력이 매우 높다. 세계적으로도 많은 기업이 상용화를 추진하고 있으며, 2007년부터 시장에 진입하고 있다. 그러나 현재의 flexible CIGS 박막 태양전지는 유리 기판 CIGS 박막 태양전지보다 효율이 낮고 패키지를 유리에서 플라스틱으로 대체하기 때문에 수명이 짧다. 또한, 아직도 완전한 양산 체제로 전환이 이루어지지 않았기 때문에 해결해야 할 문제점이 많이 있다. Flexible 기판으로는 스테인리스 스틸이나 폴리머 기판이 사용되는데, 유리 기판에 비해 저가 태양전지를 제조할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 roll-to-roll 공정을 적용할 수 있어 가격 경쟁력을 확보할 수 있다. 특히, 금속 유연기판을 사용할 경우, 유리 기판에 비해 상대적으로 고온 공정이 가능한 장점이 있다. 그러나, 금속 기판을 사용할 경우 해결해야 할 두 가지 이슈가 있다. 첫째, CIGS 흡수층 형성에 도움을 주는 Na의 공급 문제이다. 유리 기판의 경우 기판에 포함되어 있는 Na이 확산을 통해 공급되지만, 금속 기판의 경우 별도의 Na 공급 방법을 고려해야 한다. 둘째, 불순물 확산 방지막 및 전기 절연층으로 사용되는 유전체 박막의 문제이다. 현재 다양한 금속 산화물 유전체 박막을 사용한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 flexible CIGS 박막 태양전지의 기술적 이슈 및 현재 연구 현황을 살펴보고, 스테인리스 스틸 기판을 이용한 CIGS 박막 태양전지에서 유전체 확산 방지막에 따른 특성을 비교하고자 한다. 스테인리스 스틸 기판의 불순물로부터의 확산을 방지하기 위하여 두 종류(intrinsic ZnO와 SiOx)의 유전체 박막을 각각 Na가 도핑된 Mo층과 스테인리스 스틸 기판 사이에 삽입하여 소자를 제작하였다. 확산 방지막이 없는 경우, SiOx층을 사용한 경우, 그리고 intrinsic ZnO 층을 사용한 경우에, 효율은 각각 7.47, 11.64, and 13.95%로 나타났다. 셀의 크기는 $0.47\;cm^2$이고, 반사방지막은 사용하지 않았다.

본 논문에서는 전세계적으로 차세대 에너지절감 반도체로 각광을 받고 있는 GaN 소자의 연구개발 동향에 관하여 발표하고자 한다. GaN 반도체는 와이드 밴드갭(Eg=3.4eV)과 고온 안정성($700^{\circ}C$)등 재료적인 특징으로 인하여 고출력 RF 전력증폭기와 고전력용 전력반도체 응용에 큰 장점을 가진다. 고출력용 GaN RF 전력증폭 소자의 전력밀도는 기존 Si-기반 LDMOS 트랜지스터보다 10배 이상 높아 제품의 소형화와 경량화를 통하여 30% 이상의 전력절감이 가능하며, 레이더, 위성등 송수신 트랜시버 모듈에 GaN 전력증폭기를 이용할 경우 기존 GaAs-기반 전력증폭기에 비하여 높은 전력밀도(>x8)와 높은 효율(>20%)로 인하여 모듈 크기를 50% 이상 줄임과 동시에 경량화를 이룰 수 있어 비행기, 위성등 탑재체의 에너지 절감에 크게 기여할 수 있다. 고전력용 GaN 전력 스위칭 소자는 기존 Si-기반 IGBT에 비하여 스위칭 손실과 온-저항 손실이 낮아 30% 이상의 에너지 절감이 가능하다. 뿐만 아니라, 일본 도요타 자동차사의 보고에 의하면 HEV등 전기자동차의 DC-DC 부스터 컨버터나 DC-AC 인버터에 GaN 전력반도체를 적용할 경우 경량화, 변환효율 향상, 전용 냉각시스템을 제거할 수 있어 연료소모를 10% 이상 줄일 수 있어 연간 400불 이상의 에너지 절감 효과를 가진다. 이러한 에너지절감 효과는 미국, 유럽, 일본등 선진국을 중심으로 차세대 GaN 반도체의 신시장 개척과 선진입을 위한 치열한 경쟁 구도의 구동력이 될 것이며, 본 논문을 통하여 GaN 반도체의 연구개발 방향과 상용화의 중요성을 함께 생각해보고자 한다.

Through the technology of the 4th industrial revolution, agricultural machinery is becoming increasingly intelligent, and the machine is replacing the role of farmer manpower as a whole. However, safety accidents caused by careless use of agricultural machines and theft accidents due to the difficulty of keeping them are increasing every year. Because agricultural machines do not manage the history of events and accidents unlike automobiles, they are often used for crime. There is also no way to cope with the issues if there happens issues on agricultural machines. In this paper, we propose the system based on block chain which can manage the history of the agricultural machinery by registering the chassis number at the same time when purchasing the agricultural machinery. Since this system contains the history of accident and repair information about the owner's agricultural machinery, it is possible to trace back even if a theft occurs. The proposed system also allows buyers to secure transactions by providing reliable data through inquiry of this system when trading in the secondary market in the future.

Due to increasing legal and market demands for safety in the automotive design process, the design of integrated seat is important more and mote because it should satisfy the conflict between stronger and lower weight for safety and environmental demands. In this study for crash simulations, the numerical simulations have been carried out using the explicit finite element program LS-Dyna according to the FMVSS 210 standard for safety test of seat. Since crash simulations are very time-consuming and a series of simulations that does not lead to a better result is very costly, the optimization method must be both efficient and reliable. As a result of that, statistical approaches such as design of experiments and response surface model have been successfully implemented to reduce time-consuming LS-Dyna simulations and optimize the safety and environmental demands together with nonlinear optimization algorithm. Design of experiments is used lot exploring the design space of maximum displacement and total weight and for building response surface models in order to minimize the maximum displacement and total weight of integrated seat.
