The smart energy system is the integrated power system in which the power components including central station generation, distributed generation, renewable power generation, energy storage, and communications and controls are complexly connected with each other. In smart energy system, it is very important how to configure the diverse power generations and how to determine the operation mode of the chosen components with economic feasibility. In this study, we introduce the optimal planning method based on both economic feasibility and load profiles and its applications for the smart energy system in apartment. This method was considered very useful to determine the configuration and to decide the optimal operation mode of the smart energy system.

As renewable and sustainable energy, solar energy and wind energy have advantages in reducing the pollution sources. The paper presents a hybrid system which includes the solar cell and the wind generator. HOMER provides a platform to design and simulate the power system and then to choose the optimization results. This paper simulates with the HOMER and performs a pre-feasibility study of stand-alone hybrid energy systems for applications in a lab.

In this paper, we argue that new&renewable energy resources are difficult to be managed with GIS technology due to their spatiotemporal features, and suggest that spatiotemporal database and sensor network can be applied to the new&renewable energy management system as advanced technology. To give the motivated issues, we introduce and analyze the concept of the spatiotemporal database and sensor network, and the case studies in each applications.

An energy generating greenhouse based on fluoropolymer envelope and fresnel lens is proposed. The outstanding properties of the fluoropolymer films make them very suitable for large scale solar applications. Extremely high optical transmission over the whole solar spectrum, combined with mechanical strength, and durability allows us to design a highly optimized greenhouses for both plant growing and energy generation. Systems such as photovoltaic triple junction cells are especially attractive since they have up to 35% efficiency with much less cell material when the sun beam is focused with concentrators such as fresnel lenses. Cooling such devices will enhance the efficiency and provide useful thermal energy that could be further utilized for various applications depending on the local demands. This article introduces the basic ideas and principles of the energy generating greenhouses as a first step towards the actual deployment of such systems under Korean environment.

무선 센서네트워크는 다양한 응용 프로그램들을 위하여 주변 환경으로부터 데이터수집 또는 처리를 위하여 사용된다. 무선 센서네트워크는 저 수준 계산 능력, 제한적인 배터리 용량, 낮은 네트워크 대역폭을 기반으로 운영되므로, 무선센서 네트워크의 구조 모델은 응용 프로그램의 성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 응용 프로그램이 높은 계산 복잡도를 요구하거나, 실시간 처리를 필요로 하는 경우, 무선센서 네트워크의 중앙 집중 형 구조는 데이터 처리에 있어서 지연을 발생하게 되므로, 응용 프로그램의 성능 요구사항을 만족시키지 못하는 결과를 가져온다. 반면에, 응용 프로그램이 단순한 데이터 수집을 장기간 수행하는 경우, 분산 형으로 무선센서 네트워크를 구성한다면, 무선 센서들에서 불필요한 에너지 소모를 피할 수 없게 된다. 이 논문에서는 중앙집중 형 구조와 분산 형 구조에서 에너지 소모와 데이터 처리 지연을 분석, 평가한다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크를 위한 새로운 융합 형 구조를 제안하고 평가한다 제안된 방식은 응용 프로그램의 특성에 따라서 무선센서 네트워크에서 최적의 무선센서 노드 개수를 찾을 수 있게 한다.

This paper addresses the system lifetime maximization algorithm in multi-hop sensor network system. A multi-hop sensor network consists of many battery-driven sensor nodes that collaborate with each other to gather, process, and communicate information using wireless communications. As sensor-driven applications become increasingly integrated into our lives, we propose a energy-aware scheme where each sensor node transmits informative data with adaptive data rate to minimize system energy consumption. We show the optimal data rate to maximize the system lifetime in terms of remaining system energy. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm experimentally shows longer system lifetime in comparison with greedy algorithm.

This paper describes high voltage and high energy density capacitor developed for pulsed power applications. The rated voltage of the developed capacitor is DC 22 [kV], the capacitance is 206 [$\mu$F] and the energy density is about 0.7 [kJ/kg]. Polypropylene film and kraft paper were used as the dielectrics. The ratio of the thickness of each dielectric material which consists of the composite dielectric structure, stacking factor and the termination method were determined by the charging and discharging tests on model capacitors. In terms of energy density, the developed capacitor has higher energy density compared with the products of foreign leading companies. In addition, it has been proved that the life expectancy can be more over 2000 shots through the charging and discharging test. The voltage reversal factor was 20%. This capacitor can be used as numerous discharge applications such as military, medical, industrial fields.

The accuracy and noninvasive nature of the doubly labeled water (DLW) method makes it ideal for the study of human energy metabolism in free-living conditions. However, the DLW method is not always practical in many developing and Asian countries because of the high costs of isotopes and equipment for isotope analysis as well as the expertise required for analysis. This review provides information about the theoretical background and practical aspects of the DLW method, including optimal dose, basic protocols of two-and multiple-point approaches, experimental procedures, and isotopic analysis. We also introduce applications of DLW data, such as determining the equations of estimated energy requirement and validation studies of energy intake.

This paper focuses on the electrical modeling techniques of renewable energy sources and storage devices such as batteries, fuel cells (FCs), photovoltaic (PVs) arrays, ultra-capacitors (UCs), and flywheel energy storage systems (FESS). All of these devices are being investigated recently for their typical storage and supply capabilities for various industrial applications. Hence, these devices must be modeled precisely taking into account the concerned practical issues. An obvious advantage of electrically modeling these renewable energy sources and storage devices is the fact that they can easily be simulated in real-time in any CAD simulation program. This paper reviews several types of suitable models for each of the above-mentioned devices and the most appropriate model amongst them is presented. Furthermore, a few important applications of these devices shall also be highlighted.
