Solar energy is most green and clean, unlimited and sustainable energy source on the earth. It is almost 97% of imported consumer energy in Korea. Because of resource poor nation, it is necessary to do their best to make alternative energy to allot their deficiency of the matter in hand of energy resources of petroleum. In a point of view of this problems, the natural solar energy should be improved by any methods as much, possible as we need. Photovoltaic generation with solar tracking system for obtaining optimal power is one of most benefit equipment to improve power of solar-cell panel producing clean electric power efficiently. Solar tracker is a device for orienting a solar photovoltaic panel toward the sun perpendicularly to sunlight, especially in widely separated place. For this reason, we are very interested in developing the equipment system of tracker, specially in solar cell applications, obtaining a high degree of accuracy to ensure that the optimal sunlight could be directed precisely against to the powered device. As a result, it was obtained of 12.46 volts at 90$^\circ$toward solar panel and 9.44 volts at 45$^\circ$, furthermore, improved efficiency more than 30% of average output voltage between tracker system (12.41V) and fixed system (8.55V), respectively. It is also very useful for optimum power system of widely separated cave.

Ground water source heat pumps are clean, energy-efficient and environment-friendly systems for cooling and heating. Although the initial cost of ground water source heat pump system is higher than that of air source, it is now widely accepted as an economical system since the installation cost can be returned within a short period of time due to its high efficiency. In a ground water source heat pump system, the variation of the ground water temperature is an important factor that influences the system performance. In this study, variation of the ground water temperature of a single well system is studied experimentally for various operating conditions. When ground water flow exists in the underground, the returned water exchanges heat efficiently with the ground and the temperature of the ground water remains nearly constant. Hence the short circuit problem is minimized. If an active flow of ground water flow exists in the underground, a singe well heat pumps system will be free of short circuit problem and can operate with high performance.

세계보건기구에 따르면 대기오염은 건강에 대한 주요 위험원으로 대기오염으로 인해 매년 약 700만 명의 조기 사망이 발생하고 있다. 이산화황(SO2)은 대표적인 대기오염물질로 황 성분이 포함된 연료의 연소에서 다량 발생한다. SO2 발생량을 감소시키기 위해서는 대형 연소 환경에서 이를 실시간으로 정밀하게 측정하고 측정 값을 바탕으로 저감 설비를 최적화하는 과정이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 미세먼지 전구물질인 SO2의 농도를 측정하기 위해 파장 가변형 다이오드 레이저 흡수 분광법 중 파장 변조 분광법을 이용하였다. 광원으로는 7.6 ㎛ 양자 폭포 레이저를 사용하였고 7623.7 ~ 7626.0 nm 사이의 64개 다중 광흡수선으로 SO2 농도 측정이 가능함을 증명하였다. 실험은 1 atm, 296 K에서 28, 76 m multi-pass cell을 사용하여 수행되었다. SO2 농도는 고농도(1000 ~ 5000 ppm)와 저농도(10 ppm 이하)로 두 종류로 실험 하였다. 추가적으로 가스 셀 외에 레이저가 지나가는 경로에 질소를 채워 대기 중의 H2O가 SO2 측정에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. SO2는 3 ppm까지 측정하였고 측정된 SO2 농도는 전기 화학식 센서와 NDIR 센서 측정 결과와 비교되었다.

The solar cell energy is considered as a clean energy source in the world. However, because the output of solar cell is not constant, it needs to study the relationships of the DC voltage, the DC current and the DC power of the solar cell. This paper presents the solar cell output characteristics and the maximum power point of the solar cell under different irradiation conditions.

Solar energy has proven to be a potential clean energy source to help offset the large consumption of fossil. Nowadays, many research projects aim to enhance photovoltaic (PV) system performance and functionality. This research focuses on integrating self-monitor capability into dc-dc converters that control PV panels to detect a fault in series-connected PV cells, called hot spotting. A detection method using ac parameter characterization is proposed and its operation is examined through simulation.

Fuel cell as a renewable energy source is clean and has a lot of advantages. The source can solve energy crisis and environmental problems such as greenhouse effect, air pollution and the ozone layer destruction. This paper introduces hybrid system(hydro-Genius Professional, heliocentris) of solar cell and fuel cell. Also, this paper shows the I-P, V-I characteristics of fuel cells which are connected in parallel and series. From these results, we also found the maximum power was transferred at 0.5[${\Omega}$]. The terminal voltage was also decreased according to the current because of the internal resistance. The power transfer in series was two times than that in parallel.

This paper proposes a control method for maintaining the energy level for a supercapacitor energy storage system coupled with a wind generator to stabilize wind power output. Although wind power is green and clean energy source, disadvantage of the renewable energy output power is fluctuation. In order to mitigate the fluctuating output power, supercapacitor energy storage system (SCESS) and wind power simulator is developed. A remaining energy supercapacitor (RESC) control is introduced and analyzed to smooth for short-term fluctuating power and maintain the supercapacitor voltage within the designed operating range in the steady as well as transient state. When the average and fluctuating component of power increases instantaneously, the RESC compensates fluctuating power and the variation of fluctuating power is reduced 100% to 30% at 5kW power. Furthermore, supercapacitor voltage is maintained within the operating voltage range and near 50% of total energy. Feasibility of SCESS with RESC control is verified through simulation and experiment.

Considering the fact that more than $97\%$ of fossil energy resources such as oil and natural gas needed in Korea rely on import, primary concern of the national economy is to secure future energy sources. Gas hydrates. which is non-conventional types of natural gas, distribute worldwide, especially in marine and permafrost Gas hydrates draw great attention recently as a new clean energy resources substituting conventional oil gas due to its presumed huge amount of volume reaching 10 trillion tons of gas and environmentally friendly characteristics. Results of preliminary survey by Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) and Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) showed that gas hydrates can be present in deep sea over 1,000m water depth in the East Sea. Gas hydrates can contribute to the rapidly increasing consumption of natural gas in Korea and achieve the self-support target by 2010 with $30\%$ of total natural gas demand. This study presents the potentialities and development prospects of gas hydrate as a future energy source.

The most important factor for the desalination system is the fresh water production cost dependent upon the possible energy source which should be obtained easily and with low price. Recently in Korea the demand of LNG, as a cheap and clean energy which does not cause an environmental problem, has sharply been increased. In general, LNG is storaged in a tank as a liquid state below -162 'C. When it is serviced, however, the LNG absorbs energy from a heating source and transforms to the gaseous state with high pressure. During this process a huge amount of cold energy accumulated in LNG is wasted. This waste cold energy can be utilized for producing fresh water from sea water using a sea water freezing desalination system. In order to develop a sea water freezing desalination system and to establish its design technique, a qualitative and quantitative data regarding the freezing behavior of sea water is needed in advance. The goal of this study, therefore, are to reveal the freezing mechanism of sea water, to measure the freezing rate, and to investigate the freezing heat-transfer characteristics. The experimental results help to provide a general understanding of the sea water freezing behavior in a Rectangular vessel cooled from below.
