The integration of PV modules into building facades or roof could raise PV module temperature that results in the reduction of electrical power generation. Lowering operating temperature of PV module is important in this respect, and PV module temperature should be considered more accurately, for building-integrated PV(BIPV) systems in predicting their performance. This paper describes a BIPV solar roof design and verifies its performance through experiment In relation to the effect of ventilation in space between PV module and roof surface. The results showed that the ventilation in the space had a positive effect in lowering the module temperature of the BIPV solar roof that enhanced the performance of its electricity generation.

The paper describes and quantifies the wastes arising in the nuclear fuel cycle for Light Water Reactors, Heavy Water Reactors and Fast Breeder Reactors. The management and disposal technologies are indicated, together with their environmental impacts. Both once-through and uranium-plutonium recycle systems are evaluated, and comparisons are made on the basis of tingle reference technologies for waste management, and for one gigawatt/year of electricity generation. Environmental impacts are assessed, particularly that of health and safety, and a reference costing system is applied purely as a basis for comparing the fuel cycles. From this study it call be concluded generally that the relative differences of the impacts of waste management and disposal between the selected fuel cycles are not decisive factors in choosing a fuel cycle. Employing the technologies assumed, the radioactive wastes from any of the fuel cycles studied can be managed and disposed of with a high degree of safety and without undue risk to man or the environment. The cost of waste management and disposal is only a few percent of the value of the electricity generated and does not vary greatly between fuel cycles.

주택용 전기 소비자는 태양광 발전기를 대여할 수 있고, 만일 감소된 전기요금이 대여료보다 크다면 수익이 발생할 수 있다. 아직까지 수익의 정확한 함수식은 계산되지 않았는데 본 논문에서 계산했다. 두 가지 가정이 있다. 첫 번째는 대여한 태양광 발전기가 월간 300kWh 발전하는 것이고, 두 번째는 태양광 발전기를 대여할 때 일시불로 362300원 지불한다는 것이다. 함수가 구간에 따라 달라지므로 3개의 구간을 가정하고 각 구간에서의 함수를 유도했다. 유도한 함수에 의해서 기본 7년간 월간 전기 사용량 401~1000kWh 사용하는 저압 주택용 전기요금 소비자의 수익률, 회수 시간, 감도를 계산했다. 본 논문에서 계산된 값에 의해서 월간 전기 사용량 401~1000kWh 사용하는 저압 주택용 전기요금 소비자가 3kW 태양광 발전기를 대여할지 말지 결정할 때 중요한 자료다.

Increased evidences reveal that the global climate change adversely affect on the environment. Smart grid system is one of the ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the electricity generation sector. Since 2013, Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) has installed smart grid station in KEPCO office buildings. The goal of this paper is two folds. One is to quantify the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions through smart grid stations installed in KEPCO office buildings as a part of pilot project. Among components of smart grid stations, this research focused on the photovoltaic power system (PV) and energy storage system (ESS). The other is to estimate the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions when PV is applied on individual houses. Results show that greenhouse gas emissions reduce 5.8~11.3% of the emissions generated through the electricity usage after PV is applied in KEPCO office buildings. The greenhouse gas emissions reduction from ESS is not apparent. When PV of 200~500 W is installed in individual houses, annual greenhouse gas emission reduction in 2016 is expected to be approximately $2.2{\sim}5.4million\;tCO_2-eq$, equivalent to 6~15% of greenhouse gas emissions through the electricity usage in the house hold sector. The saving of annual electricity cost in the individual house through PV of 200 W and 500 W is expected to be 47~179 thous and KRW and 123~451 thousand KRW, respectively. Results analyzed in this study show the environmental effect of the smart grid station. In addition, the results can be further used as guidance in implementing similar projects.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this paper is to investigate the application of thermoelectric technology to concrete structures for harvesting solar energy that would otherwise be wasted. In various fields of research, thermoelectric technology using a thermoelectric module is being investigated for utilizing solar energy. METHODS: In our experiment, a halogen lamp was used to produce heat energy instead of the solar heat. A data logger was used to record the generated voltage over time from the thermoelectric module mounted on a concrete specimen. In order to increase the efficiency of energy harvesting, various factors such as color, architecture, and the ability to prevent heat absorption by the concrete surface were investigated for the placement of the thermoelectric module. RESULTS : The thermoelectric module produced a voltage using the temperature difference between the lower and upper sides of the module. When the concrete specimen was coated with an aluminum foil, a high electric power was measured. In addition, for the power generated at low temperatures, it was confirmed that the voltage was generated steadily. CONCLUSIONS: Thermoelectric technology for energy harvesting can be applied to concrete structures for generating electric power. The generated electricity can be used to power sensors used in structure monitoring in the future.

Electrical energy storage (EES) systems store generated electricity in energy storage devices such as batteries and discharge the stored energy when necessary. Individual subsystems of the EES system are being standardized independently; however, a holistic understanding of the whole system is necessary because the EES system is large and complex. IEC TC 120 has developed international standards of EES systems. In this paper, EES systems standards in IEC TC 120, including the planning and installation of EES systems, are presented. Further, ongoing standardization for the application of EES systems to backup power and emergency support is described.

In this thesis, the electrification phenomenon was studied by measurement of charging current and discharging current in polymers when the carriers generated by corona discharge were supplied to the surface of polymers. Corona charging current of PVC, polar and noncrystalline polymer, was larger than that of nonpolar and amorphous polymers. Corona charging current on the specimen of naked upper surface (CIM) was larger than charging current on the specimen of electrode made. Carrier injection differed from interfacial phase of polymer surFace. The transfer phenomenon vaned with chemical structure of polymer and then the polar effect of PVC was remarkable because of large electron affinity of Cl. In the characteristics of discharging current of PVC, the abnormal current was observed. It was supposed that this phenomena presented the trap of injected carriers in PVC and that static electricity phenomenon was generated by trap.

Generally, wind or solar power system is operated as a stand-alone power system, the efficiency of which could be higher by designing wind-solar combined system considering average wind speed and solar radiation of the desert region, Mongolia. This system is designed to generate electricity for power users and pumps the ground water for irrigation using deep well pump. The ground water can be used for farming or forestation where there is no or little irrigation system. In connection with this study, a renewable energy park, Green Eco Energy Park, was developed at about 50km east of Ulaanbaatar. 3 sets of 10kW wind power generator and 70 kW of solar power module were installed there. The electricity generated from the system is used to on-site office building and deep well pump for ground water pumping. A 10kW stand-alone solar pumping system, which has no rechargeable battery system, is installed to pump the ground water with the amount of generated power. The ground water is stored in 3 artificial ponds and then it is used for raising nursery tree and farming. The purpose of this study is to provide a possible energy solution to desert regions where there is no or little power system. The system also supply power to ground water pump, and the water can be used for farming and forestation, which will also be a solution of preventing desertification or spreading of desert area.
