Wind power producers face many regulation costs in deregulated environment, which remarkably lowers the value of wind power in comparison with conventional sources. One of these costs is associated with the real-time variation of power output and being paid in frequency control market according to the variation band. This paper presents a new approach to coordination of battery energy storage in wind generation system for reducing the payment in frequency control market. The approach depends on the statistic data of wind generation and the prediction of frequency control market price to determine the optimal variation band which is then kept by the real-time charging and discharging of batteries, ultimately the minimum cost of frequency regulation can be obtained. The optimization problem is formulated as trade-off between the decrease in the regulation payment and the increase in the cost of using battery, and vice versus. The approach is applied to a study case and the results of simulation show its effectiveness.

Scientists in the National Institute of Environmental Research had carried out air and precipitation sampling. According to the data analysed, the acidity (pH) measured was in the range of 3.7 $\sim$ 5.5. Detailed analysis indicated that observed acid rain was associated with westerlies generally coming out of the mainland of China and with a cyclone formed therein. Emission of air pollution from Korea and Japan also appeared to contribute in the observed high acidity in some cases. The one of chief reasons for the occurrence of acid rain in the west coast of Korea was due to the increase in the total emission of air pollution in China. In 1990, China was the world's top producer of coal amounting in 1.05 B tons with an annual increase of 10%, and the produced 100 M tons of crude oil. $SO_2$ emission from all energy usage in China was estimated at 25 $\sim$ 50 M ton per year.

This paper presents a formulation and a solution method for the optimization problem with a fuel constraint in a competitive electricity market. Take-or-Pay (TOP) contract for an energy resource is the typical constraint as a limiting factor. Two approaches are proposed in this paper for modeling the dispatch calculation in a market mechanism. The approaches differ in the subject who considers and inserts the fuel-constraint into its optimization problem. Market operator and each power producer having a TOP contract are assumed as such subjects.

Unit costs for energy production in bioenergy facilities are dependent upon both fixed cost for facility construction and operational costs including biomass feedstock supply. With the increase of capacity, unit fixed cost could be decreased while supply cost tends to increase due to the longer transportation distance. It is desirable to take into account biomass availability in planning bioenergy facilities. A cumulative curve relationship was proposed to relate biomass availability and cumulative products of biomass amount and transportation distance. Optimum size of gasification facilities was affected by collection cost, biomass cumulative relationship. Based on biomass availability of Icheon-City, optimum sizes were about $400kW_{th}$ for gas production, and about $200kW_{el}$ for power generation. Unit cost of bioenergy production could be substantially reduced by reducing collection cost through supplying biomass from diverse sources including land development areas where significant amount of waste wood is generated. When planning bioenergy facilities, however, biomass availability and spatial distribution are key factors in determining the size of capacity.

In this paper, a constant frequency phase shifting PWM controlled voltage source full bridge-type series load resonant high-frequency inverter using the IGBT power modules is presented for innovative consumer electromagnetic induction heating applications such as a hot water producer, steamer and super heated steamer. The full bridge arm side link passive quasi-resonant capacitor snubbers in parallel with the each power semiconductor device and high frequency AC load side linked active edge inductive snubber-assisted series load resonant tank soft switching inverter with a constant frequency phase shifted PWM control scheme is discussed and evaluated on the basis of the simulation and experimental results. It is proved from a practical point of view that the series load resonant and edge resonant hybrid high-frequency soft switching PWM inverter topology, what is called class DE type. including the variable-power variable-frequency(VPVF) regulation function can expand zero voltage soft switching commutation range even under low output power setting ranges, which is more suitable and acceptable for induction heated dual packs fluid heater developed newly for consumer power utilizations. Furthermore, even in the lower output power regulation mode of this high-frequency load resonant tank high frequency inverter circuit it is verified that this inverter can achieve ZVS with the aid of the single auxiliary inductor snubber.

에너지부문의 가격인상이 물가에 미치는 영향에 대해 정부, 공급자, 수용가 사이에 논란이 존재한다. 공급자는 만성적자 해소와 경영의 계속성을 근거로 에너지요금 인상을 추진하지만 이에대해 한편에서는 물가상승 우려로 인한 반대의 목소리도 있다. 이러한 배경하에서 본 논문은 주요 에너지원별 가격변동의 물가파급효과를 정량적으로 규명하고자 한다. 이를 위해 2011년 산업연관표에 근거한 투입산출 분석을 적용하여 석탄, 나프타, 휘발유, 등유, 경유, 중유, LPG, 전력, 도시가스, 증기 및 온수공급업 총 10개 에너지원별 물가파급효과를 분석한다. 물가파급효과분석을 위해 레온티에프 가격모형을 적용하였고 분석결과 에너지원별로 요금을 10% 인상할 경우, 전력부문이 0.2196%로 10개 에너지원 중 물가파급효과가 가장 높게 나타났다. 반면 등유는 0.0122%로 10개 에너지원 중 가장 낮은 물가파급효과를 보였다. 가장 낮은 물가파급효과를 보이는 등유에 비해 가장 높은 물가파급효과를 보였던 전력부문은 약 18배의 물가파급효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 더 나아가 10개의 에너지원별 물가파급효과에 대해 최근 3년의 결과를 비교하였고, 각각의 에너지원별로 가격을 조정하여 국민경제 전체로는 물가중립을 유지하는 자료로 제시하였다.

The intention of this research was to investigate the solubilization of primary sewage sludge using lactic acid bacteria cultured in a glucose and yeast extract medium. Glucose as the carbon source and yeast extract as the source of nitrogen were chosen as an economic medium with the potential for the mass production of lactic acid bacteria. The optimal concentrations of the medium were 3% (w/v) glucose and 2% (w/v) yeast extract. In this study, in order to improve field applications for the solubilization of sludge at sewage treatment plants, a powdered form of lactic acid bacteria was produced. The optimal inoculum of the powder for the maximum efficiency of solubilization was 1% (w/v). In that condition, the SCOD value increased from 8600 (mg/L) at the beginning of experiment to 10290 (mg/L) at 96 h, with the highest solubilization rate (20.6% DDCOD) and 11.2% (SCOD). Also, the TVFAs of the lactic acid bacteria inoculation group were produced more than that of the control group. In particular, acetic acid was produced 5 times more in the experimental group than in the control group. In this research, the potential of lactic acid bacteria in the pretreatment of primary sewage sludge as a solubilizer, and as an energy source producer for microbial fuel cells was revealed.

Cyanobacteria have been widely reported to produce a variety of UV-absorbing mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs). Herein, we reported production of the unusual MAA, mycosporine-glycine-alanine (MGA) in the cyanobacterium Sphaerospermopsis torques-reginae ITEP-024 using a newly developed UHPLC-DAD-MS/HRMS (ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection-high resolution tandem mass spectrometry) method. MGA had previously been first identified in a red-algae, but S. torques-reginae strain ITEP-024 is the first cyanobacteria to be reported as an MGA producer. Herein, the chemical structure of MGA is fully elucidated from one-dimensional / two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance and HRMS data analyses. MAAs are unusually produced constitutively in S. torques-reginae ITEP-024, and this production was further enhanced following UV-irradiance. It has been proposed that MAA biosynthesis proceeds in cyanobacteria from the pentose phosphate pathway intermediate sedoheptulose 7-phosphate. Annotation of a gene cluster encoded in the genome sequence of S. torques-reginae ITEP-024 supports these gene products could catalyse the biosynthesis of MAAs. However, addition of glyphosate to cultures of S. torques-reginae ITEP-024 abolished constitutive and ultra-violet radiation induced production of MGA, shinorine and porphyra-334. This finding supports involvement of the shikimic acid pathway in the biosynthesis of MAAs by this species.
