This paper is about the energy efficiency calculation of the production facilities. In the paper-manufacturing industry, for example, the production facility needs much energy including electric and heat energy. So, in this paper, we chose a process in the model plant to calculate energy efficiency. To the Electric facilities, We calculated the energy efficiency of electric facilities by means of load factor and voltage unbalance of the motors. And to the heat energy, we calculated the heat energy efficiency by comparing necessary calorie and supplied calorie for the process. We performed all these energy efficiency calculations by using the measured data of a process in an operating plant.

Compared with internal combustion engine, the electric vehicle has a limitation of low driving range due to low battery capacity due to relatively low energy density. Moreover, the energy consumption rapidly increases up to 30% during winter season with operating electric heater. In this study, electric vehicle performance was evaluated using heat pump having higher energy efficiency rather than electric heater for cabin heating. Electric vehicle system and heat pump system were developed using 1-D simulation software called AMESim, the simulation result indicated that the energy consumption could be reduced approximately 66% when the electric heating system was replaced with the heat pump system. As a result, the driving range is expected to increase the similar value. This study proved the merit of heat pump for cabin heating in electric vehicle, and it could contribute to developing suitable heating method for electric vehicles.

Because of low flame ion density in hydrogen-air mixture, many residual electric energy could be existed in the ignition system of hydrogen engine, If these residual energy discharged abnormally during intake stroke, it may be the cause of backfire occurrence which is serious problem in development of hydrogen fueled engine but unsolved in spite of many concerned research on it. In this study, the possibility of backfire occurrence by abnormal electric discharge and countermeasure of that were investigated by using the experimental single cylinder hydrogen fueled engine with two types of ignition system. The results show that abnormal electric discharge appeared in low load with low ion density and then results in back fire occurrence, It is also seen that countermeasure method installing larger earth resistance in high tension code is effective to control abnormal electric discharge.

In Korea, prior to 2011, the electric reserve margin followed the probabilistic reliability view and the planning reserve margin had been operated at about 15% based on the assumption that power outage was permitted within 0.5 days a year. However, after experiencing the shortage of the electric generation capacity in Sept. 15, 2011, the planning reserve margin was selected as 22% to improve the reliability of the electric supply. In this paper, using panel data of 28 OECD countries over the period 2000-2014 we attempted to empirically examine the linkage between reserve margin, electricity tariffs, renewable energy share, GDP per capita, and summer / winter peak-to-peak ratios. As a result, all four independent variables have been significant for the electric reserve margin, and in particular, we found that countries with similar peaks in winter and summer have operated 4.3% higher reserve margin than countries experiencing only summer peak.

In this paper, we propose a method to develop a static equivalent model of an inverter-based distributed energy resource (DER), where the model is used for a steady-state fault analysis of a power grid. First, we introduce the characteristics of an inverter-based DER as well as its general configuration. Then, we derive the equivalent model of the DER on the basis of the characteristics. Last, the performance of the proposed method is proven by the results of computer simulations.

The electric demand increase, financial need for new power plant constructions and environmental problem have led to search for more efficient energy Production and energy conservation technology. To minimize the construction of power plants and reduce total power consumption include installation of inverters to motors used for pumps and fans. However, the high price of inverters is the biggest obstacle to their wide use. Accordingly, to maximize the effect of energy saving by the expanded use of inverters, governmental economic support as ell as the analysis of energy saving effect. his paper presents he present state analysis of inverter DSM program and propose he improvement for activation of inverter DSM program.

This paper represents the electric energy saving using light control system. Without Light Control System(LCS), it is very hard to classify the amount of electric energy saving for lighting, since it is determined by the end-user's preference in times. Typical LCS has an fixed algorithm to control each light's intensity by ON/Off Control, Step Control, or Dimming Control. We have studied the electric energy saving effect in a LCS equiped building with natural lighting. The electric power consumption at the peak power consumption time with LCS reduced up to 65% of the non-controled case.

Molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) power plant is expected to be one of the most promising future power generation system for the electric utilities because of its high efficiency, environmental suitability and capability of using coal as fuel. To get such attractive performance, it is necessary to consider optimizing operation and gas recycling system. This paper describes the simulation results of 7 kW MCFC stack in KEPRI and the effects of the three possible gas recycling operations, i.e. cathode gas recycling, anode gas recycling, anode gas recycling with catalytic burner.
