An optimization algorithm is developed based on a simulation case of a single family house model equipped with PV arrays. To increase the nationwide use of PV power generation facilities, a market-competitive electricity price needs to be introduced, which is determined based on the time of use. In this study, quadratic programming optimization was applied to minimize the electricity bill while maintaining the indoor temperature within allowable error bounds. For optimization, it is assumed that the weather and electricity demand are predicted. An EnergyPlus-based house model was approximated by using an equivalent RC circuit model for application as a linear constraint to the optimization. Based on the RC model, model predictive control was applied to the management of the cooling load and electricity for the first week of August. The result shows that more than 25% of electricity consumed for cooling can be saved by allowing excursions of temperature error within an affordable range. In addition, profit can be made by reselling electricity to the main grid energy supplier during peak hours.

세계적으로 자국의 에너지 수급의 안정성을 도모함과 동시에 태양광 발전시스템의 효율적인 운영을 위한 위성기반 태양광 발전가능량 산출기술 개발이 중요한 관심사로 주목받고 있다. 본 연구는 위성기반 일사량 산출기술과 태양광 발전가능량 산출기술에 대한 동향을 분석하고 관련기술 개발 전략을 제시하는데 그 목적을 둔다. 동향 분석 결과, 우리나라의 태양광 발전가능량 산출에 대한 전반적인 기술 수준은 선진국 대비 30% 이하로 아주 미미한 수준이며 이는 태양광 자원지도 제작에 국한되어있다. 이러한 기술 수준을 단시간 내에 선진국과 대등하게 끌어올리는 것은 거의 불가능할 것이다. 따라서 집중적인 연구개발을 통해 선진국 대비 80% 수준의 기술 수준을 달성하여 주요한 정보를 제공하여야 만이 실제 현업에서의 태양광 발전소 운영에 기여할 수 있을 것이다. 즉 가능한 빠른 시간 내에 현재 운영되고 있는 COMS 뿐만 아니라 차세대 고해상도 정지궤도기상위성 자료를 이용한 수백 m 급 고정밀 일사량 상세화 기술과 단기 또는 중기 일사량 예측을 위한 핵심기술이 우선적으로 확보되어야하며, 이후 위성기반 태양광 발전가능량 산출기술을 개발함으로써 현업에서 활용될 수 있는 정보를 제공함이 현실적으로 타당한 기술개발 전략일 것이다.

신재생에너지를 활용한 발전원의 경우, 날씨 등의 영향을 많이 받아 전력 생산량이 원활하지 않을 수 있다. 태양광 및 풍력 발전의 효율성을 높이기 위해 에너지 저장 장치(ESS·Energy Storage System)를 활용한다. ESS는 배터리 보호 시스템과 운영관리, 제어체제가 미흡하거나, 설치상의 부주의 등의 원인으로 인해 화재가 속출하고 있으며, 매우 큰 인명 피해와 경제적 손실로 이어지고 있어 ESS의 안정성 및 배터리 보호 시스템 운영관리 기술이 필수적으로 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ESS 최적화 및 안정적인 운영을 위한 배터리 잔량 산출 알고리즘과 고장 예측 알고리즘을 제시한다. 제시한 알고리즘은 배터리의 충전 및 방전 수행 시 실시간으로 전류량을 누적하여 정확한 배터리 잔량을 산출하며, 배터리 셀 간의 전압불균형 현상을 이용하여 배터리의 고장 유무를 산출한다. 제시된 알고리즘들은 ESS를 최적의 상태로 운영하는데 필요한 정확한 배터리 잔량과 고장 예측이 가능하다. 따라서 ESS의 배터리의 정확한 상태 정보를 측정하고 신뢰성 있게 모니터링 하여 대형 사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있다.

The annual energy production of Gangwon wind farm was predicted for three consecutive years of 2007, 2008 and 2009 using commercial programs, WindPRO and WindSim which are known to be used the most for wind resource prediction in the world. The predictions from the linear code, WindPRO, were compared with both the actual energy prediction presented in the CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) monitoring report of the wind farm and also the predictions from the CFD code, WindSim. The results from WindPRO were close to the actual energy productions and the errors were within 11.8% unlike the expectation. The reason for the low prediction errors was found to be due to the fact that although the wind farm is located in highly complex terrain, the terrain steepness was smaller than a critical angle($21.8^{\circ}$) in front of the wind farm in the main wind direction. Therefore no flow separation was found to occur within the wind farm. The flow separation of the main wind was found to occur mostly behind the wind farm.

본 연구의 목적은 터어빈 회전차를 모델로한 복합회전형 히이트파이프의 전열특성을 실험과 유한요소의 해석법에 의하여 연구한 것이다. 입열량과 회전수에 따른 Nu, Re, Pr 그리고 무차원 응축액막두께가 변수로 사용되었다. 해석과 실험치는 거의 유사한 경향으로 일치하였으며, 연구결과는 복합히이트파이프 성능예측을 하는데 도움을 주었다. 복합회전형 히이트파이프에서의 열저항은 응축액막두께가 감소함에 따라 응축부의 열전달은 급격히 증가하였고, 응축액막두께는 복합회전형 히이트파이프의 전열 특성에 가장 큰 영향을 주었다. 주어진 Pr에서 Re가 변화함에 따라 무차원 응축액막두께가 일정한값으로 나타났고,무차원 응축액막두께는 회전수의 역수의 제곱근에 비례하였다. 본 연구의 해석적 방법에 의해서 Nu=A$({\delta}({\omega}/v)^{-1/2}Re^B)$라는 식을 구했고, 이때 A=0.963, B=0.5025의 값을 얻었다.

The concern in energy reduction in the field of architecture which takes up a big weight in domestic energy consumption is gradually increasing. For this reason, a lot of research work on this matter is being carried out. Particularly, it is generally required that currently used system in a structure for energy reduction should be maximized in its efficiency. In addition, research on several energy reduction typed systems is underway. Such a research work should not only include the one in time of the present but also keep up with the trend for future-oriented research. This research paper forecasted and analyzed the trend for global warming and demand of a structure for energy in the future by applying climate scenarios to cooling degree-day and heating degree-day. Also, this research found out the decrease in heating degree-days and increase in cooling degree-days until this moment due to the progress of global warming. In addition, as for heating degree-days in the future forecasted on the basis of HadCM3, it is estimated that the range of decrease could be ever bigger starting 2040 in case of Seoul and also starting 2010 in case of Ulsan ever after respectively. In case of cooling degree-days, it is estimated that its increase range could be bigger abruptly starting 2050, and after 2080, its increase range would be much bigger.

Investigations on modeling methods of a CFD wind resource prediction program, WindSim for a ccurate predictions of wind speeds were performed with the field measurements. Meteorological Masts having heights of 40m and 50m were installed at two different sites in complex terrain. The wind speeds and direction were monitored from sensors installed on the masts and recorded for one year. Modeling parameters of WindSim input variables for accurate predictions of wind speeds were investigated by performing cross predictions of wind speeds at the masts using the measured data. Four parameters that most affect the wind speed prediction in WindSim including the size of a topographical map, cell sizes in x and y direction, height distribution factors, and the roughness lengths were studied to find out more suitable input parameters for better wind speed predictions. The parameters were then applied to WindSim to predict the wind speed of another location in complex terrain in Korea for validation. The predicted annual wind speeds were compared with the averaged measured data for one year from meteorological masts installed for this study, and the errors were within 6.9%. The results of the proposed practical study are believed to be very useful to give guidelines to wind engineers for more accurate prediction results and time-saving in predicting wind speed of complex terrain that will be used to predict annual energy production of a virtual wind farm in complex terrain.

Hourly horizontal global solar radiation has been used as one of significant parameters in a weather file for building energy simulations, which determines the quality of building thermal performance. However, as about twenty two weather stations in Korea have actually measured the horizontal global sola radiation, the weather files collected in other stations requires solar data simulation from the other meteorological parameters. Thus, finding the reliable complicated method that can be used in various weather conditions in Korea is critically important. In this paper, three solar simulation models were selected and evaluated through the reliability test with the simulated hourly horizontal global solar radiation against the actually measured solar data to find the most suitable model for the south east area of Korea. Three selected simulation models were CRM, ZHM, and MRM. The first two models are regression type models using site-fitted coefficients which are derived from the correlation between measured solar data and local meteorological parameters from the previous years, and the last model is a mechanistic type model using the meteorological data to calculate conditions of atmospheric constituents that cause absorption and scattering of the extraterrestrial radiation on the way to the surface on the Earth. The evaluation results show that ZHM is the most reliable model in this area, yet a complicated hybrid simulation methods applying the advantages of each simulation method with the monthly-based weather data is needed.
