  • 전기식 출입문 시스템은 철도차량 영업운전에 영향을 주는 가장 중요한 시스템 중의 하나이다. 도시철도차량의 출입문은 승객들의 승하차를 담당하는 장치로써 고장이 발생할 경우 승객의 안전과 직접적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 열차운행에 영향을 미치는 중요한 장치이다. 최근에는 전기식 출입문 시스템의 신뢰도 목표값을 철도운영자가 철도차량 설계와 제작을 위한 발주사양 기술 요구조건에 포함하는 경향이 있으며, 차량 제작자는 제작시 발주사양기술 요구조건에서 철도운영자가 제시한 전기식 출입문 시스템의 신뢰도 목표값을 만족시켜야 하고, 철도운영자는 유지보수 데이터를 기반으로 공급자의 신뢰도 목표값 달성여부를 확인하고 승인하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 전기식 출입문 시스템의 유지보수 현장 데이터를 수집하여 신뢰도를 미니탭 통계프로그램으로 분석하였다. 현장 데이터를 적용한 신뢰도 분석은 철도차량에 대한 새로운 유지보수 정책이나 유지보수 주기를 바꾸는데 매우 유용할 것이다.

  • 21세기 지식기반사회에서 기술 발전 속도는 가속화되고 있으며 조직 목표를 달성하는데 영향을 줄 수 있는 시장, 거버넌스 및 사회적 가치의 미래 모습에 대한 불확실성이 증대하고 있다. 이러한 기술과 사회 발전의 가속화 및 증가하는 불확실성에 대응하기 위해서 다양한 미래사회 전망을 바탕으로 미래유망기술을 도출하는 기술예측의 필요성은 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 기술예측에는 다양한 예측 방법론이 이용 가능하나 예측의 목적 및 재원 등에 따라 선택되어야 한다. 델파이 방법이 오랫동안 주로 사용되어 왔지만 최근에는 시나리오 또한 많이 활용되고 있다. 시나리오는 사회, 경제 및 정치 등의 환경요인의 복잡성과 불확실성을 폭넓게 고려할 수 있으며 미래의 다양한 모습을 이야기 식으로 전달하기 때문에 매우 효과적인 전략적 도구로 활용된다. 전 세계적으로 진행되고 있는 기후변화, 화석연료의 고갈 등으로 세계 각국은 신재생에너지에 대한 높은 관심을 갖고 기술개발 및 보급 등을 적극적으로 추진하고 있다. 하지만 신재생에너지 분야의 가용잠재량은 지역적으로 큰 편차가 있으며 기술적 진보, 환경규제 및 화석연료의 가격전개와 밀접하게 연관되어 있어 그 발전추이를 예측하기 어려운 면이 있다. 이에 본 연구는 이러한 불확실성을 반영하여 신재생에너지 분야에 대한 다양한 미래 시나리오를 작성하고 시사점을 도출하였다. 향후 본 연구의 시나리오 기반의 예측 프로세스를 국가과학 기술예측에 활용함으로써, 기존의 델파이 위주의 단정적 예측의 단점을 보완한 전략적 예측을 강화할 수 있을 것으로 전망된다.

  • Since the commencement of the fuel cell business in 2007, POSCO POWER has been the major supplier of the MCFC (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell), which is the most commercialized stationary fuel cell system in the world. With its quite, yet active movement, more than 20MW MCFC systems have been installed and are operating in Korea. While trying to localize the components and set up a firm supply chain in Korea to provide more reliable and cost-competitive products to its customers, POSCO POWER is also devoting itself to developing new MCFC application products. One such product is a back-up power system, in which a back-up algorithm is embedded to the present system so that the product can work as a back-up generator in case of grid failure. The technology to enhance load following capability of a stack module is also being developed with the back-up algorithm. Another example is a building application, the goal being to make the present Sub-MW product suitable for urban area. For this, downsizing and modularization are the main R&D scope. The project for developing ship service fuel cell for APU application will launch soon as well. In the project, a system which can operate in marine environment, and reforming technology for liquid logistic fuel will be developed.

  • BIM has been a reliable construction project management tool to handle various kinds of construction information generated in the facility life cycle. To take these advantages, researchers have been promoted numerous studies in a residential, a commercial, and an educational facilities with a large number of on-going projects. However, despite running as the role of essential energy supplier, power plant related BIM research is relatively insufficient than others. In particular, due to the extending of the facility service period and the requirement of the complicated construction project management for 'overhaul' and 'repowering' in the power plant maintenance phase, the needs for using BIM have been increased gradually. For using BIM based maintenance, it is needed to consider an information collecting methods and necessary to develop an appropriate breakdown structure to share information. Therefore, 'EBS' is produced by reviewing the previous research related to BIM and analyzing the repair activities in the maintenance phase. Proposed 'EBS' must be useful not only a judgment between capital expenditure versus revenue expenditure but also appropriate maintenance strategies development for property management.

  • One chambered sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC) was equipped with Fe, brass (Cu/Zn), Fe/Zn, Cu, Cu/carbon cloth and graphite felt anode. Graphite felt was used as common cathode. The SMFC was membrane-less and mediator-less as well. Order of anodic performance on the basis of power density was Fe/Zn ($6.90Wm^{-2}$) > Fe ($6.03Wm^{-2}$) > Cu/carbon cloth ($2.13Wm^{-2}$) > Cu ($1.13Wm^{-2}$) > brass ($Cu/Zn=0.24Wm^{-2}$) > graphite felt ($0.10Wm^{-2}$). Fe/Zn composite anode have twisted 6.73% more power than Fe alone, Cu/carbon cloth boosted power production by 65%, and brass (Cu/Zn) produced 65% less power than Cu alone. Graphite felt have shown the lowest electricity generation because of its poor galvanic potential. The estuarine sediment served as supplier of oxidants or electron producing microbial flora, which evoked electrons via a complicated direct microbial electron transfer mechanism or making biofilm, respectively. Oxidation reduction was kept to be stationary over time except at the very initial period (mostly for sediment positioning) at anodes. Based on these findings, cost effective and efficient anodic material can be suggested for better SMFC configurations and stimulate towards practical value and application.

  • As deregulation of power industry is becoming a reality, there has been an intense interest in the strategic bidding for suppliers to maximize their profits. The profit gained by a supplier is related not only to its energy-price bid curve but also to its submitted operational parameters such as generation capacity, etc. So suppliers are willing to use those strategic parameters that can be manipulated by themselves and are effective to their profit. This paper deals with the competition model with compound strategies: generation capacity and bidding curve. The parameter space is modeled by dividing into the two strategies, so the problem is made up of the four types of sub-game in a two player game. This paper analyzes the global Nash Equilibrium (NE) over the whole divisions by computing the sub-game NEs in some divisions and by deriving the best response curves which have discontinuities in other divisions. The global NE is shown to correspond to the Cournot NE where the quantity variable is realized by a constraints of a generation capacity.

  • Although the generation market is competitive, the power market is easily exercised the market power by one generator due to its special futures such as a limited supplier, large investment cost, transmission constraints and loss. Specially, as Korea Electric industry restructuring is similar US competitive wholesale electricity market structure which discovered the several evidences of market power abuse, when restructuring is completed the possibility that market power will be exercised is big. Market power interferes with market competitions and efficiency of system. The goal of this study is to investigate the market price effects of the potential market power and the proposed market power mitigation strategy in Korean market using the forecasting wholesale electricity market model. This modeling is developed based on the system dynamics approach. it can analyze the dynamic behaviors of wholesale prices in Korean market. And then it is expanded to include the effect of market condition changed by 'strategic behavior' and 'real time pricing.' This model can generate the overall insights regarding the dynamic impact of output withholding by old gas fire power plant bon as a marginal plant in Korean market at the macro level. Also it will give the energy planner the opportunity to create different scenarios for the future for deregulated wholesales market in Korea.

  • In this research, we have developed standardized procedures for preparing of emission inventories on military sector. The procedures are as follows; 1) Identify all relevant emission sources list of military sector in Republic of Korea. 2) Select methods to estimate GHGs emissions by source categories such as heating boilers, tactical vehicles, military vessels and military aviation from US EPA, IPCC, EEA/EMEP, and ROK Ministry of Environment. 3) Identify and select data sources for activities and parameters from Korea annual oil statistics and Korea Procurement system. 4) Compare with each GHGs emission used by each activities. The conclusive results utilized by emission source categories and associated factors are described as follows; In 2013, GHGs was estimated 2,656 kilotons $CO_2-eq$ emitted by military sector. The diesel combustion contributed from a minimum of 43.8% to a maximum of 50.2% and JP-8 contributed from a minimum of 43.7% to a maximum of 52.8% to the 2001~2015 GHGs emission trend. In the result of comparing GHGs emissions with Korea Annual Oil Statistics (Tier 1) and supplied fuel through the Korea Procurement System (Tier 2) in 2015, the total GHGs emission was 2,867 kilotons $CO_2-eq$ estimated by Tier 2 is similar to the emission estimated by Tier 1. However, this reveals that the GHGs emission separated by local areas were a lot of different from Tier 1 and 2. The cause of difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 was that Korea annual oil statistics utilized data from a fuel supplier. The data does not reflect the reality of the location of end user.

  • 세계는 원유재고 감소와 국제 정세의 불안정으로 인해 지속적으로 상승하고 있는 유가와 화석연료 사용으로 인한 환경오염에 관심이 고조되고 있다. 국내의 경우 원유를 100% 수입하고 있으며, 사용되고 있는 에너지의 에너지원 중 97%를 수입에 의존하고 있기 때문에 유가 상승에 따른 영향은 더욱 민감하게 나타난다. 국내에 수입되고 유통되는 에너지의 97% 중 1/3 이상이 사무소나 주거용 난방, 급탕 및 취사용으로 사용되고 있다. 이에 따라 정부는 물론 산업체, 연구소 등에서 사무소 및 주거용 에너지 소비패턴으로 인한 경제적인 부담을 줄이고, 고효율 저에너지 기술개발을 통해 소비에너지를 절약함과 동시에 탄소배출을 억제하는 신기술에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 우리나라는 국토가 좁은 반면 인구밀도가 높고, 인구의 도시집중화로 공동주택의 주거비율이 높은 추세이기 때문에 최근 공동주택단지는 초고층화, 대형화가 되고 있으며, 이로 인해 급수 급탕에 대한 사용패턴도 변화하고 있다. 하지만 현재 급수 급탕에 대한 설계 자료는 대부분 외국의 설계 기준과 현장 경험치에 의해 산출된 데이터에 의존하고 있으며, 사용실태에 대한 기초자료가 부족한 실정이며, 이로 인해 급수 급탕 설비 설계 시 과대 또는 과소 설계가 되는 문제가 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 공동주택의 공급자 측 급탕 열 공급환경과 사용자측 열사용량을 측정하여, 급탕부하가 발생하는 시간과 사용 실태 및 패턴을 파악함으로써, 효율적인 공급자 측 급탕설비 설계와 관리를 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 한다.
