Various solar hybrid energy conversion processes, which have both the advantages of renewable energy sources and fossil energy sources, have been developed in the world because stable and predictable energy supplies, such as electricity and natural gas, are necessary for modern societies. In particular, a solar hybrid energy conversion process based on a dual fluidized bed process concept has been expected as the promising solution for sustainable energy supply via thermochemical conversions, such as pyrolysis, combustion, gasification, and so on, because solar thermal energy could be captured and stored in fluidized bed materials. Therefore, the attrition and heat transfer characteristics of silicon carbide and alumina particles used for fluidized bed materials for the solar hybrid energy conversion process were studied in an ASTM D5757 reactor and a bubbling fluidized bed reactor with 0.14m diameter and 2m height. These characteristics of novel fluidized bed materials were compared with those of sand particles which have widely been used as a fluidized bed material in various commercial fluidized bed reactors. The attrition resistances of silicon carbide and alumina particles were higher than those of sand particles while the average values of heat transfer coefficient in the bubbling fluidized bed reactor were in the range of 125 ~ 152 W m^-2K^-1.

An understanding of the concentrated solar flux is critical for the analysis and design of solar-energy-utilization systems. The current work focuses on the development of an algorithm that uses the Monte Carlo ray-tracing method with excellent flexibility and expandability; this method considers both solar limb darkening and the surface slope error of reflectors, thereby analyzing the solar flux. A comparison of the modeling results with measurements at the solar furnace in Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) show good agreement within a measurement uncertainty of 10%. The model evaluates the concentration performance of the KIER solar furnace with a tracking accuracy of 2 mrad and a maximum attainable concentration ratio of 4400 sun. Flux variations according to measurement position and flux distributions depending on acceptance angles provide detailed information for the design of chemical reactors or secondary concentrators.

Solar fuel production technology using high-temperature solar furnace was briefly reviewed in this paper. 'Hydrogen' which is known to be the most promising energy carrier in the near future is to be generated environment-friendly from non-carbon resources. Combination of solar furnace operated by concentrated solar energy and high-temperature thermal reactions could be one of the most efficient ways to fulfill this need eventually. Various reaction mechanisms are feasible within a wide spectrum of solar fuel production technology, but intensive research efforts in related key areas need to be taken for successful development and commercialization of the technology.

최근 실리콘(Si) 원재료 가격의 하락으로 인하여, 태양광 시장에서 성능 좋은 저가의 태양광 모듈을 요구하고 있다. 즉, 와트(W)당 낮은 가격의 태양광 모듈을 선호하기 때문에 경쟁력을 갖추기 위하여서는 많은 출력을 낼 수 있는 고효율의 태양전지가 요구된다. 그래서 주목을 받고 있는 것이 N-type 실리콘 기판을 사용한 고효율 태양전지이다. 하지만, n-type Si 기판의 경우, pn 접합의 형성을 위하여서 기존의 열 확산(Thermal diffusion)법에 의한 에미터(Emitter) 형성방법은 양질의 pn접합을 형성하기에는 한계가 있다. 그로 인하여 주목하고 있는 기술이 반도체 공정에서 널리 사용되고 있는 이온 주입(Ion implantation)방식이다. 이 기술은 양질의 에미터 형성을 위하여, 동일한 양의 불순물(dopant) 주입, 정확한 접합 깊이 제어 등이 가능한 방법으로 고효율 태양전지 제작에 필수적이며, 가능한 기술이라고 할 수 있다. 본 발표에서는 어플라이드 머트리얼즈(Applied Materials)사가 보유하고 있는 고효율 태양전지 제작에 필수적인 이온주입방식의 기술과 양산화 가능한 관련장비 등을 소개 하고자 한다.

The solar cell system operates by facing the sun-light. Minor cracks, static discharge, and thermal shock that can happen during production/testing phase can lead to degradation in performance during operation, since solar cells are exposed to extreme thermal/mechanical environment in space. In order to detect small cracks and internal damages in the solar cells due to thermal shocks, which are the core units of a solar cell system, expensive equipment, complicated test process, and much time are required. Therefore, a qualitative method for easily and quickly testing the 'health' of solar cell functionality is required. This dissertation describes a theoretical and technical grounds for quickly and easily evaluating the health of solar cells using electroluminescence effect of Gallium-Arsenide solar cells that are most widely used by spacecrafts in recent years. Also described in the dissertation is the technical issues and constraining factors for applying the proposed method to actual space-rated solar cell systems.

Generally, a deployable solar panel is used primarily to achieve sufficient power output to perform the mission. However, temperature distribution on the antenna reflector may increase due to the shading effect induced by the presence of the deployable solar panels. Appropriate thermal design is critical to minimize the thermal deformation of the mesh antenna reflector in harsh on-orbit thermal environments to ensure remote frequency (RF) performance. In this paper, we proposed a dual-surface primary reflector consisting of a mesh antenna and a flexible fabric membrane sheet. This design strategy can contribute to thermal stabilization by using a flexible solar panel on the rear side of membrane sheet to reduce the temperature distribution caused by the deployable solar panel. The effectiveness of the mesh antenna design strategy investigates through on-orbit thermal analysis.
