For the evaluation of wind resources, numerical simulation was carried out as a tool for establishing wind map around the korean peninsula. Initial and boundary condition are given by 3 hourly RDAPS(Regional Data Assimilation and Prediction System) data of KMA(Korea Meteorology Administration) and high resolution terrain elevation land cover(30 seconds) data from USGS(United States Geological Survey). Furthermore, Data assimilation was adopted to improve initial meteorological data with buoy and QuikSCAT seawinds data. The simulation was performed from 2003 to 2006 year. To understand wind data correctly in complex terrain as the korean peninsula, at this research, Wind map was classified 4 categories by distance from coastline and elevation.

Wind energy issued as most spotlight general energy by excellence of actuality as well as economical efficiency, solving environmental problem which caused by creating the energy and possibility of eternal production. Accordingly, government is at the stage of corresponding level by requesting development of new technology to the developed countries as a part of national key industries. The grievous situation from such a rapid movement is meteorological comprehension and assessment as well as the problem of estimation exactness about the wind. In this study, we use the regional meteorological station data, automatic weather station data and QuikSCAT SeaWinds data.

This paper introduces remote-sensing data which can be practically applied for offshore wind resource assessment. Development of offshore wind energy is inevitable for Korea to achieve the national dissemination target of renewable energy, i.e., 5% uptil 2010. However, the only available offshore in-situ measurement, marine buoy data would not represent areal wind characteristics. Consequently, remote-sensing technology has been started to apply to offshore wind resource assessment and is actively developing. Among them, NCAR/NCEP reanalysis dataset, QuikSCAT blended dataset, and offshore wind retrieval from SAR imagery are briefly summarized in this paper.

국토가 좁고 천연자원이 부족한 우리나라에서 전기생산의 대부분을 원자력 발전에 의존하고, 화력발전을 많이 활용하는 것은 당연한 일이다. 그러나, 각종 신기술의 개발과 함께 신에너지원에 대한 가능성이 증대되고 있어 이에 대한 연구와 투자도 소홀히 할 수 없는 상황에 있다. 신에너지원으로 거론되는 여러 가지 대안 가운데 비교적 국내기술로 접근하기 쉬운 부분이 지열을 활용한 분야이다. 일본, 필리핀, 인도네시아와 같은 화산국은 물론이고 우리나라와 같이 활화산이 없는 나라에서도 대심도에서는 지열자원이 고르게 분포해해 있을 것으로 추정되어 개발된 지열활용기술은 그 수요처가 상당히 젊다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 지열활용을 위하여 필수적으로 사용되는 지열정 굴착기법과 건설에 따라 우려되는 환경영향을 정리하였다. 지열활용에 사용되는 지열정의 종류를 파악하고, 그에 따른 굴착기술을 소개하였으며, 저비용 고효율 굴착을 위한 요소기술들을 정리하였다. 그리고, 국외의 자료를 통하여 지열발전 프로젝트에서 우려되는 환경영향을 조사하여 국내의 상황과 비교하여 고찰하였다.

This paper reviews three commercial softwares for wind climate data analysis in wind resource assessment; WAsP/Observed Wind Climate, WindRose and Windographer. Windographer is evaluated as the best software because of its variety of input data format, analysis functions, easiness of user interface, etc. For a quantitative understanding of uncertainty depending on software selection, a benchmark is carried out with the met-mast observation dataset at the Gimnyeong Wind Turbine Performance Test Site. It is found that Weibull parameter calculation and air density correction have a dependency on the software so that such uncertainty should be considered when an analysis software is selected. It is confirmed that annual energy production calculated by WAsP using a statistical table of frequency of occurrence may have some error compared to a time-series calculation method used by the other softwares.

It is necessary to estimate empirical constants in order to predict the monthly mean daily global radiation on a horizontal surface in the developing areas for alternative energy. Therefore many different equations have proposed to evaluate them for certain areas. In this work a new correlation has been made to predict the solar radiation for any areas over Korea by calculating the regression models taking into account latitude, percentage of possible sunshine, and cloud cover. From the results, the single linear equation proposed by using percentage of possible sunshine method shows reliable results for estimating the global radiation with average annual deviation of -3.1 to +0.6 % from measured values

In order to investigate the offshore wind resources, the "QuikSCAT Level 3" data by the QuikSCAT satellite was analyzed from Jan 2000 to Dec 2008. QuikSCAT satellite is a specialized device for a microwave scatterometer that measures near-surface wind speed and direction under all weather and cloud conditions. Wind speed measured at 10 m above from the sea surface as extrapolated to the hub height by using the power law model. It has been found that the high wind energy prevailing in the south sea and the east sea of the Korean peninsula. From the limitation of seawater depth for piling the tower and archipelagic environment around the south sea, the west and the south-west sea are favorable to construct the large scale wind farm. Wind map and monthly variation of wind speed are investigate at the positions.

국내 바이오디젤의 원료로 사용되는 식물성 오일은 거의 전량이 수입된 것으로 원료를 자급화 하기 위한 방안으로 국내 동물성 폐자원을 이용한 바이오디젤 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전자레인지를 이용해 동물성 폐자원인 폐돈지 및 폐우지로부터 오일을 추출 후 물성을 분석하고 전이에스테르화 반응을 진행하였으며 바이오디젤 제조 특성을 조사하고자 하였다. 전이에스테르화 반응에 사용되는 염기 촉매를 몇가지 선정하여 각각의 촉매에 따른 바이오디젤의 반응특성을 메탄올 양을 변화시키며 조사 실험하였다. 기존에 사용된 바이오디젤 제조 촉매는 KOH를 주로 사용하였으며 본 연구에서는 KOH, NaOH, $NaOCH_3$를 촉매로 사용하여 오일질량 대비 0.8~1.2%의 촉매를 사용하였으며 메탄올의 양은 오일 몰수 대비 6:1~12:1의 비율로 사용하여 반응시간에 따른 반응특성과 제조 바이오디젤의 물성을 분석해 각 촉매에 따른 바이오디젤 생산 특성을 비교분석하였다.

In order to support wind power development in Jejudo, the island of winds, the wind resource database KIER-WindJeju has been established by meteor-statistical analysis on met-mast measurements of KIER. The analysis includes tower shading, exposure category, wind profile exponent for wind speed extrapolation to hub height of wind turbine, and correlation matrix between neighboring sites to assist choice of appropriate reference site for long-term correlation. KIER-WindJeju will be provided as an add-on of Google $Earth^{TM}$ and will be used as a guideline of future wind resource assessment in Jejudo.

Geothermal energy is the natural heat of the Earth. Enormous amounts of thermal energy are continuously generated by the decay of radioactive isotopes of underground rocks and stored in the Earth's interior. Therefore, geothermal energy is one of the most important sustainable energy resources. Recent trends of geothermal energy exploitation technologies focus on the Earth scientific approach to geothermal heat pump system, enhanced geothermal system, aquifer thermal energy storage, underground thermal energy storage, and fluid/heat flow model ing for geothermal wells. Geothermal heat pump distribution in Korea is still in its starting phase in terms of areal utilization sense, we, however, expect to come up with national supply of over 1,000,000 toe by 2020
